Before long, the Dice Creature also came to Chen Lin's Rest Hall. After a round of persuasion, quite a few more people placed bets.
The Heavenly Fire Evil God, however, made no move.
Chen Lin watched coldly from the sidelines.
He grew even more suspicious that the Heavenly Fire Evil God was in cahoots with the Dice Creature.
Otherwise, with his ostentatious personality, there was no way he would refrain from betting on himself. Presumably, he feared that placing a bet would violate the Golden Hook Casino's rules.
All he needed to do was conceal his means of winning first place while appearing utterly certain of victory. That would drive up the odds without making anyone think highly of his chances, ensuring that no one bet on him.
Chen Lin sneered inwardly.
Though he did not know what means the Heavenly Fire Evil God possessed, his line of destiny had already snapped. Winning first place was impossible.
After collecting the wagers, the Dice Creature rose and left for another room.
Before leaving, the Dice Creature even shot Chen Lin a glance.
Chen Lin ignored the look.
The Dice Creature surely believed that a thousand years of his life already belonged to the Golden Hook Casino. He would let the creature enjoy that thought for a while.

These Nightmare Realm creatures were unreasonable, every last one of them. Aside from needlessly filling his belly with anger, he could not get any useful information out of them.
As for Explorers from the Reality Realm, he had not seen a single one.
Xu Wuye and the people from the White Jade Terrace had not appeared, either. He did not know whether they had skipped the contest or were in other Rest Halls.
