After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

"Please...please, Goddess of Wealth, bear witness!"

Hader's voice was hoarse, but his eyes were unusually crazed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous statue of the Goddess of Wealth in the center of the hall seemed to glow slightly.

A soft golden beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping all the bets on the table.

From this moment on, no one has a chance to back out!

"The rules are simple!"

Hader, panting heavily, stared intently at Mu Qiu and said, "One round to decide the winner! It's a contest of size, the one with the higher score wins! Fair and just, it's all up to the goddess's will!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three golden dice slowly coalesced in the void.

"You go first! Or should I go first?!"

Hader practically yelled it out, his muscles tense with nervousness.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Mu Qiu waved his hand: "You need to understand this first. The person you're betting against isn't me, it's my maid."

Is this guy... still going to humiliate him at a time like this?

Hader took a deep breath, as if using all his strength, and roared at the three golden dice: "Roll!"

The golden dice were tossed into the air by an invisible force, spinning rapidly and tracing a dazzling trajectory before landing with a clinking sound on the table, bouncing and tumbling.

Everyone except Mu Qiu had their hearts in their throats, their eyes fixed on the three dice that would decide their fate.

The dice slowly came to a stop.

Five, five, six!

Sixteen o'clock!

A very high number of points!

"Hahaha! Sixteen! Sixteen!"

Had was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild, ecstatic laughter, tears streaming down his face.

"See that?! Kid! The goddess is still on my side! Sixteen points! How do you think you can beat me?! You're doomed!!"

He was so excited that he danced around, as if he could already see himself winning everything back.

The previous despair and fear vanished, replaced by extreme ecstasy and arrogance.

Those around them shook their heads, feeling that the outcome was already decided.

Sixteen points is almost a guaranteed win, unless the opponent rolls seventeen or eighteen, but the probability of that is too low.

This is a throw witnessed by the goddess; there is absolutely no chance of cheating. You could say the result is entirely up to luck.

"Alas, what a pity, that young man was too arrogant."

"Sixteen o'clock... Hader has come back from the dead!"

"You finally earned eleven million, and now you've lost it all, including your principal?"

Vera also tensed up slightly and subconsciously looked at Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu wore a gentle smile on his face.

Not bad!

Now they can finally lose everything!

"Vera, go for it! This money is yours no matter what!"

Is this... the master's trust in her?

Vera took a deep breath, concentrated, and shouted crisply at the golden dice, "Throw!"

The golden dice were once again tossed high into the air by an invisible force, spinning faster and shining even brighter than before.

Hader's maniacal laughter hadn't faded yet; his eyes were fixed on the dice, and he kept muttering, "Small! Small! Small! It has to be small!"

The dice fall, clinking and tumbling... The first one stops—six!

Hader's heart sank, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

The second one stopped—at six o'clock!

Hader's smile froze completely, his face turned deathly pale, and his breathing stopped abruptly!

No...this is impossible!

The third die wobbled precariously, as if deliberately tormenting one's nerves.

Finally... the number rolled on the die landed steadily above six!

Six, six, six! Eighteen points! A triple! A clean sweep!

silence!

A silence more deathly than ever before!

The golden dice shone with an incomparably dazzling light, as if announcing the final result.

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

"No—no!!!"

Had let out a heart-wrenching scream, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

"Impossible! 18 o'clock! How could this be! Goddess! Why are you doing this to me?!"

Unable to accept this fact, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body shaking violently as he pointed at the three dice, trembling like a leaf.

The golden beam of light that enveloped the bets lit up again.

Under the incredibly complex and shocked gazes of everyone, the top-grade starstone and twenty mid-grade starstones that Had had bet on were enveloped by the goddess's divine power and flew towards Vera, while the three golden dice turned into specks of golden light and dissipated into the air.

Vera chuckled and put it away.

"No! My Starstone! Give it back to me! It's mine!!"

"You cheated! You definitely cheated!"

After a brief silence, Had suddenly raised his head, his eyes completely consumed by bloodshot rage. He pointed at Mu Qiu, his voice shrill and shattered, filled with hysterical despair and overwhelming anger.

"You're just a gold-level piece of trash! How could you possibly keep winning! Keep winning! Give me back all the money you've won! Give me back my Starstones! Or I'll kill you!!"

Hader went completely mad. He roared and unleashed his Orichalcum-level battle qi without reservation!

He drew the mithril-grade dagger from his waist and lunged at Mu Qiu like a cannonball, his speed leaving only a blur.

A chorus of terrified screams and gasps erupted around them; no one had expected that Had would dare to commit murder inside the Fortune Club, where violence was strictly prohibited.

However, just as he was about to get close to Mu Qiu!

"Snapped!"

A crisp crack of a whip suddenly rang out!

A pink blur appeared, striking his wrist where he was holding the knife!

"Ugh—!"

Had let out a shrill scream. His entire arm instantly went numb and ached, and at the same time, a strange electric current surged through his body, making him feel as if all his strength had been drained away, and his fighting spirit instantly dissipated.

The mithril-grade dagger clattered to the ground.

He lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground with a thud. His body convulsed violently uncontrollably, and his face was filled with extreme pain and incomprehensible astonishment.

Then, Mu Qiu raised the succubus whip with a heart-shaped barb at the tip once more.

"Here's a free 10-pull for you!"

*Smack! Smack! Smack!*

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qiu's whip rained down on Had's body like a storm.

Despite only emanating a gold-level aura, he rendered Had, a peak-level Orichalcum warrior, utterly powerless!

"This is... the power of the Slave Master combined with the Succubus Whip?"

Even Mu Qiu was surprised to find for the first time that this special attack by the master of slave owners against slave owners was so effective!

Ordinary slave owners were completely powerless against him. He even suspected that slave owners of the Orichalcum level might not be able to escape his free ten-pull!

Chapter 100: The system closed one door and then another window, trapping me inside?

[You and your slaves executed a perfect coordinated attack, earning eleven million gold coins and two million gold coins worth of Starshine Stones, unlocking the special achievement—"The Elf's Clever Scheme Leads to the Guillotine."]

Special achievements?

Mu Qiu's mind raced, and he involuntarily stopped whipping the whip.

Although top-grade Starshine Stones are expensive in the outside world, they are only worth one million gold coins in the system, and mid-grade Starshine Stones are only worth fifty thousand gold coins, which together amount to two million gold coins.

At this moment, the system's guidance voice appeared again, as expected.

【Oh my goodness, host, what a lucky day! You've actually won thirteen million gold coins at the casino! Now, let me ask you—is this your first time at a casino?】

Yes/Yes

Mu Qiu thought to himself that this was just the beginning, and sooner or later he would lose all of this money!

But why are both options "yes" this time?

"System, what are these two options for Potion 8?!"

[Host, this achievement only has one reward branch, so it doesn't matter which option you choose. I've removed the other option for you!]

Mu Qiu was taken aback by the system's words.

Let's wander around!

"Then what else can I choose? Of course, I'll choose this!"

【Oh, so this is your first time at a casino? I bet you don't know how terrifying casinos can be. Let me tell you!】

In a casino, winning money is the most terrifying thing; winning is just a process, losing money is the result!

To prevent you from losing everything in the casino, I've removed the all-in betting feature. In special circumstances, such as being provoked or challenged, you can still gamble, but you cannot actively participate in any betting games within the casino.

Mu Qiu: "???"

Mu Qiu never expected that the little trick he had painstakingly discovered to go bankrupt would be blocked by the system!

But this system was quite self-righteous, acting as if it were speaking with great earnestness:

【Host, you mustn't become addicted to gambling! Gamblers can't live like house dogs! All-in might bring a moment of pleasure, but it'll lead to a rooftop crematorium!】

Of course, if you participate in gambling without using gold coins or valuable items, that's considered "gambling for fun," and you have the right to do so. This system only prohibits the function of actively participating in gambling and placing bets in casinos to protect the host from becoming addicted to gambling.

Mu Qiu's lips twitched.

If you don't place bets, how can you lose money?

However, he himself does not like to gamble. He only goes to casinos to lose money, not with the mindset of a gambler trying to make money.

Since the system has closed this door, shouldn't it open a window for it?

"System, now that I've participated in gambling, shouldn't I be fined? For example, shouldn't the system funds I earned be considered as a loss?"

Mu Qiu spoke with great anticipation.

[No, no, no, host, you've got it wrong! It's our fault for not warning you beforehand that gambling is prohibited, so the responsibility lies with the system!]

Upon hearing the system's sweet female voice ring in his mind, Mu Qiu immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

stop!

Stop it now!

What are you trying to slip me this time, you little rascal!

[Ding! Host, your compensation has arrived! I've compensated you with ten high-grade Starstones worth two million gold coins, bringing your system funds to exactly forty million! You're a true investment genius!]

Mu Qiu's vision went black.
