Tuanzi and Little Lion in the cage also saw Jiang Ping An walking into the casino.

Two pairs of eyes lit up instantly, and he suddenly stood up from his lying state, with his front paws lying on the energy fence.

"Brother Long!"

Although few people know that their owner is Jiang Ping An, they dare not call Jiang Ping An "master" outside.

If someone realizes that Jiang Ping An may not be dead, then the fake death situation that was painstakingly created may be exposed.

What follows is endless trouble.

Now the external relationship between Jiang Ping An and them is set as a good "friend".

A Second Level God King was sitting next to the cage, sipping tea leisurely.

Perhaps in order to match the atmosphere of the casino and require a certain amount of deterrence, the appearance of this God King has been modified. His face is covered with criss-crossing hideous scars, his eyes are ferocious, his figure is unusually tall and strong, and he exudes a Killing Intent that is not easy to mess with.

This God King noticed the movements of Tuanzi and Little Lion, followed their eager gazes, and locked onto Jiang Ping An.

Huang Zheng Chang handed the teacup in his hand to the attendant standing next to him, and then stood up slowly.

He was tall. When he walked in front of Jiang Ping An, he was like a wall. He seemed to be nearly half his body taller than Jiang Ping An, giving him a sense of oppression.

"Are you the big brother who came to redeem these two gadgets?" He looked down at Jiang Ping An.

"Yes."

Jiang Ping An raised his head slightly and looked at him calmly.

He took out a Storage Ring that had been prepared and handed it over, "Here are ten thousand Spirit King Pill, click a little."

Ten thousand Spirit King Pills are a huge sum of money for most low-end God Kings.

But in Jiang Ping An's heart, the safety of Tuanzi and Little Lion is far more important than these Spirit Stone.

Especially Tuanzi, whom he almost single-handedly raised and has deep feelings for, just like his own child.

Huang Zheng Chang, who had scars on his face, raised his big hand, grabbed Storage Ring, and inserted Divine Sense into it.

When he saw the mountains of Spirit King Pill inside, a satisfied and greedy smile appeared on his face. The smile touched the scars on his face, making him look even more ferocious.

"The number is correct, but... it's not enough."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Ping An frowned, "Don't they owe you ten thousand Spirit King Pill? What I just gave you was exactly ten thousand."

He remembered clearly that the other party clearly mentioned ten thousand Spirit King Pill in God Sound Talisman.

Huang Zheng Chang was well prepared and calmly took out a contract that was shining with Divine Dao Laws's light.

He shook his head in front of Jiang Ping An, pointed to the line above which was written in extremely small fonts and was mixed with a large number of complicated terms, and said slowly:

"See clearly, according to the terms of this Divine Dao Contract, for all loans, the interest will be increased by 10% every other hour on the basis of the remaining arrears in the current period."

"Two hours have passed since the two of them signed the contract and owed these ten thousand Spirit King Pill."

"So, in addition to paying off the principal of 10,000 yuan, you should also pay the interest of 2,000 Spirit King Pill."

Compound interest is a loan method often used by Underground Casino.

But Jiang Ping An has never seen or heard of such ultra-high interest rates.

Tuanzi heard this, his ruby-like eyes were immediately filled with tears of grievance, and he cried out:

"You didn't mention interest at all before! You clearly only said you would lend us a thousand Spirit King Pill, and you would just have to pay back a thousand and ten Spirit King Pill when the time comes!"

The two of them had no idea that there was such a terrifying interest compounding clause.

At that time, they lost all their pocket money and were eager to recoup their losses, so they borrowed the money at the instigation of Huang Zheng Chang.

After losing all the borrowed money, they regretted participating in gambling and were about to use some of the treasures they carried to pay off the debt and leave, but they were told that the debt had been compounded into an astronomical figure of 10,000 Spirit King Pill!

Huang Zheng Chang is obviously a veteran and has long been accustomed to such doubts.

He squinted at the little guy in the cage and responded skillfully and indifferently, "It's written in black and white, Divine Dao Contract was signed by you personally with Divine Soul Imprint, and it has the effect of Rules! It's your own fault if you don't understand the contract clearly. Who can blame you?"

Next to him, Little Lion gritted his teeth and growled, "You deliberately rolled up the main part about interest at the back of the contract. We didn't see the complete terms at all!"

The contract was rolled up partially on purpose, and I didn't expect there were mosquitoes inside.

Huang Zheng Chang showed an undisguised sarcastic smile on his face:

"Oh, is this king hiding something from you and not letting you see the whole content? It's just you who are impatient. Who is to blame?"

Tuanzi and Little Lion were so angry that they were trembling with anger at these strong words. Their small chests were rising and falling violently, but they were speechless and unable to refute.

It was true that they were eager to get a copy and signed without insisting on reading all the terms.

Jiang Ping An immediately understood that Tuanzi and Little Lion had encountered a veteran who specializes in setting up traps to deceive people.

The other party took advantage of their inexperience and eagerness to make money, deliberately concealing key terms and leading them to be deceived.

Judging from the proficiency of the opponent, I wonder how many people have been tricked here.

Those who are unable to pay back the money will surely end badly.

Jiang Ping An quickly counted his remaining assets.

Spirit King Pill There are only more than three hundred pieces left, which is not enough to pay the two thousand interest demanded by the other party.

Perhaps, the remaining [Heavenly Gate Pill] can be used as collateral.

Once mortgaged, he will be impoverished again, and will need to spend a lot of time and energy to earn cultivation resources.

Instead of going somewhere else to make money, it's better to make money directly here.

Jiang Ping An turned his attention to Huang Zheng Chang again, his eyes calm and calm. "Are you from this casino?"

"Yes, I, Huang Zheng Chang, am one of the stewards here!"

Huang Zheng Chang seemed a little impatient and waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense! Do you have any money? If you don't have any money, go get some money!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for following the rules and sending these two little guys to mine until they can work enough to pay back the money."

Can you get paid back by mining?

Jiang Ping An sneered in his heart.

According to the terrifying compound interest algorithm in the contract, even if they dig to the end of the universe, the value they create cannot keep up with the rate of interest growth.

The other party clearly had the intention to swallow up Tuanzi and Little Lion from the beginning, or to squeeze out their value.

Jiang Ping An still showed no obvious emotional fluctuations on his face, and said slowly:

"I have more than three hundred Spirit King Pill left, which is not enough to pay the remaining interest..."

He changed the topic and said, "However, since your place is a casino, can I use these three hundred Spirit King Pill to make enough money here?"

Upon hearing this, the impatience on Huang Zheng Chang's face disappeared instantly.

Instead, there was an extremely bright smile, "Haha! What a great idea! Of course! Maybe if you get lucky, you can really win these two little guys back!"

"Come here! Exchange chips for this guest officer!" He shouted to the side.

Gambling is good! Huang Zheng Chang sighed in his heart.

It was by running this casino, extracting oil and water, and earning a huge amount of resources that he was able to go from being an ordinary god with a mediocre Talent to the current Second Level God King with resources.

In this kind of Underground Casino, nine out of ten gamblers lose, and one is on the way to losing.

Only the banker is the eternal winner.

In his opinion, these three hundred Spirit King Pill are already within his grasp.

In the cage, Tuanzi, who was in tears, saw that Jiang Ping An was going to gamble. He suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly with a tearful voice:

"Brother Long! No! Don't gamble! Gambling harms people!"

Jiang Ping An paused in his steps and almost laughed out of anger at this little guy.

Do you now know that gambling is harmful to people?

What did you do early?

If you two hadn't been able to control yourselves, come to a place like this, and foolishly sign that kind of contract, would you have been able to do what you are doing now?

He decided to let these two ignorant little guys stay in the cage for a while and reflect on it.

A casino attendant quickly walked up to Jiang Ping An and exchanged three golden chips with special runes and denominations for three hundred Spirit King Pill.

Each golden chip represents the value of one hundred Spirit King Pill.

The casino seems to have no intention of replacing Jiang Ping An with chips of a smaller denomination.

With such a large amount of chips, novices or people with bad luck may lose everything in two or three hands.

Jiang Ping An didn't say anything more and took three heavy golden chips.

His eyes swept around the noisy casino, and finally walked to a gambling table where "guess the size" was being played.

The Rules of this gaming table is very simple:

A special die with numbers from one to six. For the points shaken out, one, two, and three are considered "small"; four, five, and six are considered "big".

The dealer will put the dice into a cover made of special material and shake it vigorously.

Before the cover is lifted, outsiders cannot know the points inside.

Gamblers who place bets only need to place their bets on the area marked [Large] or [Small] on the gaming table.

If you guess correctly, you will receive compensation equal to the amount of your bet; if you guess wrong, your bet chips will be taken away by the dealer.

In addition to betting on the size, you can also bet on specific points, but you can only bet on one number at a time.

If you bet on a winning number, the odds are as high as five times.

However, because the probability of betting on a winning number is only one in six, few people would risk betting on a winning number.

This gameplay seems to be completely based on luck and has no technical content.

Different from the Mortal Realm, the cover containing the dice is made of Mother Stone wrapped in high-grade ore.

Although Mother Stone wrapped in ore cannot be made into Divine Weapon, it has the ability to isolate and detect, and spiritual thoughts cannot penetrate it.

Generally God King, there is no way to know the number of dice inside, ensuring the "fairness" of the gambling game.

When Jiang Ping An walked to this gambling table, the dealer just finished rolling the dice.

"Come on, come on! The bet has been placed! Buy it and leave! The last ten breaths!"

The dealer pressed the cover with one hand and picked up a small gavel next to it with the other hand. Next to the gavel was a delicate little golden clock.

The gamblers shouted and threw their chips into the area they were optimistic about.

When the ten-breath time was up, the dealer rang the small golden bell next to him.

"Cang!"

The crisp bell rings, which means betting ends.

The dealer immediately lifted the cover.

"Four o'clock! Big!"

The dice lay quietly on the table, with four points clearly displayed on the upward side.

When the results were announced, the gaming table suddenly became noisy.

The person who bets on the "big" bet beams with joy and collects the winning chips excitedly.

The person who bet "small" looked disappointed and annoyed, and watched helplessly as his chips were taken away by the attendants.

After the payment and collection of this round were completed, the dealer put the dice back into the cover and started a new round of shaking.

"Crash..."

The dice collided and rolled violently in the isolation cover made by Mother Stone, making crisp and dense sounds.

Soon, the dealer stopped shaking and slammed the cover on the table.

"Start placing bets! Leave your bets! No withdrawal after placing bets!" the dealer shouted loudly.

The surrounding gamblers became restless again, shouting to move their chips to "big" or "small" based on their "feelings" or "experiences."

Jiang Ping An stood beside the table, his eyes sweeping over the cover seemingly casually.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, he threw a golden chip representing one hundred Spirit King Pill into the area marked [Large].

As soon as this large and shiny golden chip appeared on the gambling table, the originally noisy gambling table suddenly became quiet.

There was only a sound of gasping for air.

One golden chip is just one hundred Spirit King Pill.

And one Spirit King Pill can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of God Source Stone.

For most gamblers present, this is a huge sum of money that is unimaginable!

The gamblers who were close to him subconsciously took a few steps back and distanced themselves from Jiang Ping An.

Most people who dare to bet such a big bet are God King Realm strong people.

Some people who were originally preparing to place bets stopped their actions when they saw this golden chip.
