Gamble Your Life With Me

The Cheater's face turned a mottled green and red.

He had been willing to lend money to Chen Muzi in the casino because the guy had always claimed his sister was a player on the Path of the Gods and could even accurately state her ID.

The Cheater had some friends in official circles.

A quick investigation could verify identities, which was why he was willing to lend Chen Muzi money.

And now his sister was abandoning him?

Did that mean Chen Muzi was finished?

That the tens of millions he had lent out would go down the drain?

Thinking of this, it was no wonder the Cheater's expression was so unpleasant.

"No, impossible, there must be some mistake!"

"Cheater... Brother Qian, don't get agitated, don't get agitated, my sister wouldn't abandon me, she's definitely making money for me."

"Don't listen to these two idiots, once I contact my sister, I'll definitely be able to repay you..."

Chen Muzi, kneeling on the ground after being slapped by the Red-robed Cult Master, his face swollen and red, with visible bloodstains in his mouth, spoke with slurred words.

Hearing this, a ferocious expression crossed the Cheater's face. He glanced at the Red-robed Cult Master and Qin Shang.

"Do the two of you have any other business?"

"If not, we'll end it here for today. I have some matters to attend to, and certain people's organs might still be worth some money..."

The information brought by the Red-robed Cult Master seemed to have annoyed the Cheater as well.

Qin Shang narrowed his eyes.

He wasn't an idiot. Chen Muzi was clearly on a path to self-destruction...

He probably relied on his sister being a player on the Path of the Gods to make a fortune in reality.

Then he got addicted to gambling, degenerated, and step by step fell into the abyss.

Loans, debt, unrepentant.

Even after owing tens of millions, he still lived a carefree life.

His current state of being confined by the Cheater was evidence of this.

The guy didn't clean his room, nor did he pay attention to his appearance, acting as if he'd be leaving any moment, with a nonchalant attitude.

He only truly started to panic when he heard the Red-robed Cult Master say that 'Grandpa Niu' had already left China.

In other words, he didn't care about his sister's life or death until now.

Even when the Red-robed Cult Master said 'Grandpa Niu' had committed a crime, Chen Muzi didn't ask for details. Instead, he worried about his current predicament.

The first thing he thought of wasn't that something had happened to his sister, but rather, without his sister, who the hell would pay off his debts!

Qin Shang had only two words to describe this kind of person.

Scum...

"Let's go!"

Just then, the Red-robed Cult Master, seeing Qin Shang calmly staring at the fallen Chen Muzi, who was crawling backward on the ground like a dog, frowned displeasedly and spoke.

Hearing this, Chen Muzi looked at Qin Shang as if he had grasped his last straw of hope.

"You, do you also know my sister? Tell him, tell them, my sister hasn't abandoned me..."

His pathetic state intensely provoked Qin Shang.

A scene suddenly flashed in his mind: himself, crawling like a dog, standing before the reporter who had exposed his mother's will.

Begging, pleading with him to take down the news so his mother could depart with dignity.

He explained everything to the reporter with overwhelming grief, saying he had no idea, and didn't know his mother was under so much pressure...

After his mother's suicide by jumping, public opinion online had turned completely against her, filled with sarcasm and mockery.

Mocking his mother for being so foolish for raising him.

Comments like, "Who gets scammed into a pyramid scheme these days? They must have a screw loose."

"Damn, a stupid mother with an idiot son, a product of failed family education, serves them right."

"I've been instilling the idea of parents' hardships in my son since childhood. I don't know what kind of parents could raise such a beast..."

Everyone stood from a position of omniscience, freely criticizing his mother's naivety.

Such comments were endless.

His mother had never attended school; she was just an ordinary middle-aged woman with little knowledge and not much education.

To Qin Shang, his mother, who raised him alone after his father disappeared, was the greatest person in the world.

He would not allow, nor did he want to see, his gentle and peaceful mother being cyberbullied like this after her death.

The words online deeply pierced Qin Shang's heart.

At that time, he was also like a dog...

Kneeling on the ground, he begged the reporter to take down the news.

However, the reporter readily agreed, only to immediately publish a new article...

"Worldview Shattered, Shocking! The Truth Behind the Leaping Woman, It All Stems From Her Son's Disdain for His Mother's Education."

The reporter then wildly edited and pieced together his conversation with Qin Shang, twisting it into a different version.

Qin Shang was portrayed as a completely unfilial son, and his mother as a desperate patient suffering from depression.

"Beast, children like this are born to be debtors..."

"Heavens, no wonder they say human nature is inherently evil from birth, it seems to be true."

"This student never got along well with his classmates at school, I know some inside information..."

"He even frequently used his classmates' phones to play games. If you come from a poor family, you should study hard. I have firsthand information here, someone told me that this kid often plays games at night, disturbing his roommates' sleep."

"Damn, he thinks he's a prince but doesn't have a prince's life. Doesn't he know his family's situation? His mother is working so hard, and he still doesn't try to improve himself, just plays games all day. He's truly given up on himself."

Labels like "waste," "beast," and "unworthy of being a son" were plastered onto Qin Shang.

For a long time afterward, he even began to doubt himself.

Mom, did I force you to die?

At this moment, seeing Chen Muzi before him, Qin Shang felt as if countless heavy hammers were pounding his heart, his mind in turmoil.

This scene of him kneeling like a dog, utterly pathetic and unable to rise, was so similar.

"Help me, help me, can anyone help me..."

Chen Muzi's desperate wails echoed endlessly.

Because Qin Shang had not left with the Red-robed Cult Master, the Cheater did not take further action.

In truth, a low-level player was no different from an ant in his eyes, but this one was a member of the Ten Thousand Treasures House, personally acknowledged by the Red-robed Cult Master.

The Ten Thousand Treasures House was the Red-robed Cult Master's organization, with terrifying cohesion.

Becoming a member meant passing the Red-robed Cult Master's rigorous selection process.

Acting rashly could easily provoke that woman.

Chen Muzi's fate was already sealed.

This was precisely why Chen Muzi's expression was filled with fear and despair at this very moment.

Those who defaulted on their loans with the Cheater would become "great organ donors."

Of course, no one knew if the donation agreement was written by himself.

And whether the recipient truly just happened to be a perfect match for his organs...

Well... no one knew that either.

What kind of deals were made, who could say?

Chen Muzi watched Qin Shang looking down at him, meeting his calm gaze, remaining silent. His expression completely contorted into a ferocious grimace.

He fell into deep despair, roaring madly.

"Fuck! You beasts, you bastards, you're all about power. Cheater, you're no different."

"It's nothing but oppression, bullying us ordinary people. What's the difference between you and the cruel landlords of the past?"

"All I wanted was to earn some money to change my situation, what did I do wrong?"

"You people, you guys who got Character Cards are truly blessed but don't appreciate it. If I had such a way to make money, I'd escape this situation in minutes."

"Chen Muxin, that bitch, how could she abandon her own brother."

"That bitch, I was so good to her when we were kids. If I had known it would be like this, I should have strangled her."

"It's unfair, this world is too unfair. If I were a Path of the Gods player, I'd kill you all."

"Why, why don't I have a Character Card, why am I not a Path of the Gods player..."

The next moment, the Red-robed Cult Master frowned. Her mood was very bad today, and her cold eyes fell on Qin Shang.

"Come with me..."

Before she could finish speaking.

Just then, Qin Shang suddenly smiled.

He walked into the room, taking two steps forward, looking down from above.

"Feel it's unfair?"

Hearing this, the hysterical Chen Muzi paused, then spat out bloody saliva, which landed squarely on Qin Shang's pants.

His face full of mockery;

"Yes, it's unfair. This world is fundamentally unfair."

"It's completely unfair to me. Becoming a Path of the Gods player makes earning money as easy as playing a game. I just gambled a little money, and you people who can rake in millions in minutes want my life."

"Tens of millions, for you, it's just a few dungeons. What's so difficult about playing games?"

"You are the hegemons, you are the dogs relying on their masters' power..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Shang grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, his smile brilliant.

He looked like a big boy, full of sunshine...

The Path of the Gods game isn't difficult?

The Path of the Gods game, where you gamble your life, isn't difficult?

He had entered the Death Train twice, and true death had been only a step away for him, Qin Shang.

If it weren't for luck, if it weren't for him seeing through the rules.

Eight lives wouldn't have been enough for one Death Train.

And now, when it came to Chen Muzi, becoming a player meant being favored by the goddess of luck?

At his smile, the Red-robed Cult Master and the Cheater behind him were stunned.

At this moment, Qin Shang's back was to the two of them, so no one could see his expression, except Chen Muzi.

"Then how about this, I'll give you a chance."

"You really like to gamble, don't you? Then let's play a game."

"If you win, I'll give you twenty-five points. While it won't be enough to change your current situation."

"But to you, a gambler, twenty-five million in your hands is something you can earn back with one all-in bet."

"What you lack now is simply capital!"

"Your chance to turn things around... has arrived!"

"Play a game with me... If you win, I'll give all my points to the Cheater, giving you a chance to buy your freedom. If you lose, you give me your life!"

"Gamble your life with me, can you?"

He was smiling as he said these words.

But Chen Muzi, lying on the ground, felt a chilling sensation, as if being stared at by a venomous snake.

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he suppressed the unease in his heart.

He glanced at the Cheater behind Qin Shang.

This turn of events had clearly exceeded the expectations of both the Cheater and the Red-robed Cult Master.

Death was inevitable either way!

If someone was offering money, why refuse?

Gambling didn't necessarily mean there was no chance to turn things around.

His eyes turned red, and his fists clenched.

"Fine!"

"I'll gamble my life with you!"

Upon receiving Chen Muzi's affirmative reply, Qin Shang was delighted. A seductive smile flickered in his eyes, like Satan crawling out of hell, carrying endless coldness and depth.

The Red-robed Cult Master, who had been planning to leave, narrowed her eyes and glanced back at Qin Shang's retreating figure, a thoughtful look in her beautiful eyes.
