Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Chapter 108 Millennium Bug

To welcome you, the head dealer, Somotan, has prepared a grand gambling event.

After leaving the player spawn point in Shoucai Town, Ao Peng boarded the fairy sedan chair prepared by Xiao Zuanfeng and landed smoothly in front of the 18th-floor casino.

Su Motan, dressed in a croupier's uniform, waited with a smile on his face. Judging from his expression, he must have been waiting for a while, since Ao Peng had only said that he would arrive around dawn, without giving a specific time.

Ao Peng glanced at Su Motan strangely. In the past, when he met Su Motan, Su Motan always liked to wear a white croupier's uniform, but today, for some reason, this guy was wearing a blood-red croupier's uniform.

Your puzzled expression caught Su Motan's attention. He didn't want you to know some of his little stories—believe me, those stories are incredibly exciting!

Su Motan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Excellency, the gamble is ready for today, and the other distinguished guest has also arrived. Please follow me."

Ao Peng was indeed very curious about these little stories.

Ao Peng followed Su Motan into the casino. Unlike last time when he was directly led into the VIP room, this time, because the gambling involved the ownership of tens of millions of incense offerings, Su Motan's casino directly requisitioned the central hall as a temporary VIP room. The innermost circle was occupied by high rollers who frequently visited the casino, while the outer circle consisted of players watching the excitement and various ghosts and gods from the underworld.

From the very beginning, Ao Peng and Su Motan agreed to a two-player all-in mode for this match. His ability to dominate was entirely due to the fortune brought by the Realm Divine Power of the Wealth-Gathering True Lord.

Therefore, the simpler the game, the better for him. It's best to draw cards directly and compare their size. On the contrary, some card games that require calculation and the use of rules will reduce his advantage.

Upon entering, Ao Peng saw the person sitting opposite him. In his memory, this was the first time he had encountered the fat man in the VIP room. The other person was also a player, and his ID was very distinctive: "Ganesh's Darling".

People in the empire don't usually have such names, and the fat man's clothes were very characteristic of Bharat. Ao Peng guessed that the other party must be a wealthy Bharat man who had been living in the gambling city recently, which was why he was able to enter the town of Guardian of Wealth.

In the old world of the game, the entire world is interconnected. For example, if you choose the identity of "missionary" at the beginning and things don't go well in your homeland, you can try your luck abroad. Similarly, old world players from abroad can also come here to live and play the game as long as it is permitted by the Empire's laws.

The fat man's meaning was self-evident, especially since directly in front of the enormous gambling table sat a five-meter-tall elephant-headed god statue on a pure gold lotus throne, holding a six-pronged whip with barbs. The "favorite of Ganesh" was positioned with his back to the elephant-headed god, facing Ao Peng directly towards the entrance, as if Ao Peng wasn't gambling against the "favorite of Ganesh," but rather against the elephant-headed god itself.

Ao Peng smiled and looked at Su Motan beside him, not in a hurry to sit down, and asked with a cold laugh, "Is this the surprise you prepared for me?"

Su Motan sensed Ao Peng's dissatisfaction. He bowed slightly and said, "Honorable guest, under the witness of Ganesha, we are only trying to ensure the fairness of the game and have no intention of offending anyone. If you have any other requests, please feel free to tell me, and I will do my best to meet them."

Su Motan's biggest fear now is that Ao Peng will turn around and leave, which would render all his plans completely useless.

Fortunately, he had one more trick up his sleeve. Sensing the restless Qingfu in Ao Peng's heart, Su Motan prepared to arouse the Qingfu's greed.

However, this was his last resort. He didn't want to use it before drawing out the powerful figure behind Ao Peng, but if Ao Peng wanted to leave, he would be forced to use this ultimate move!

Just as Su Motan was about to activate Qingfu, he suddenly heard Ao Peng snap his fingers beside him.

Snapped.

[To keep you in the game, Soma Tan promised to do his best to fulfill one of your requests. You activated the Verse of Attaining Fruition of Karma, confirming this promise. Your proficiency in the Verse of Attaining Fruition of Karma increases by 50. During this game, you can ask Soma Tan to do something within his power!]

Ao Peng smiled with satisfaction, "Not bad, I'm very satisfied with your attitude."

After snapping his fingers, Ao Peng patted Su Motan on the shoulder.

Su Motan was somewhat surprised that Ao Peng would suddenly agree. Could it be that Qing Fu's greed had already taken hold of him?

His supernatural power, the "Azure Fly," is bizarre and can trick the victim without them even realizing it. Ao Peng's "Verse on Attaining Fruition through Speech" is no less impressive.

Just as Su Motan was pondering, an unexpected event suddenly occurred.

Just then, a lady who was about to sit down in the VIP seats suddenly tripped and stumbled into Ao Peng.

Ao Peng recognized her as the wealthy, sophisticated woman who had been his shill in the VIP room.

Ah, a soft body embraces me, and the fragrance of a rare orchid wafts through the air. This is a blooming rare orchid. Ma Ruyi cares deeply about your bet. She has contacted you several times via private message, but you haven't replied. Left with no other choice, she can only send you this item in this way.

Ao Peng clearly felt that when the wealthy and sophisticated woman bumped into him, she placed something on him, but there was no malice in it, because she directly transferred the right to use the item to him.

Even Ao Peng was slightly surprised when he saw the right to use this item.

[Y2K Bug] (Unknown)

As human civilization entered the new millennium, the entire world was connected by the Internet, a technology that transcends time and allows countless people to communicate with each other, overcoming the limitations of space and time.

You can communicate with relatives thousands of miles away, and you can answer questions left on the Internet decades ago and pass them on to them.

This convergence of information across time and space has also produced a peculiar error that could even cause the collapse of the entire human calendar at the turn of the millennium.

Finally, through the union of all empires and kingdoms, humanity resolved this particular error and named it the Y2K bug.

The Millennium Bug is a tiny, almost imperceptible insect that can cause the collapse of a massive system, especially destructive to calendars.

As lines of text appeared before his eyes, Ao Peng couldn't help but be surprised by their origin. He glanced at Ma Ruyi, who was lying in his arms, and realized that this wealthy and powerful woman was truly extraordinary in her connections and influence.

In the Old World, it wasn't just Ao Peng who got the opportunity. Many people had opportunities that were just as great and unique as Ao Peng's, such as this Millennium Bug.
