195 Dekan Could Exploit Even the Gods

Inot Underground Club.

The interior of this luxury club looks like a giant maze, filled with endless temptations.

They are the entertainment venues controlled by the largest gang in the Randir Kingdom.

Many people have become rich overnight or become superhumans here.

After passing through the winding entrance path, staff will guide customers through a strict security check.

First, to prevent customers from cheating using Magic Card or spells, the club will give each customer a [Monitoring Bracelet] before they enter the club, requiring them to bind their soul to it.

[Monitoring Bracelet]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Grade: Blue Precious]

[Class: 1]

[Effect: An alarm will be triggered when the wearer removes the equipment or when mana is consumed while wearing it.]

[Note: Specially supplied by the Inot Chamber of Commerce]

Only after wearing the [Monitoring Bracelet] can you officially enter the business area.

Furthermore, the Inot Clan the underworld is very cautious. After a customer puts on the bracelet, the customer needs to expend a little magic power in front of the staff to trigger an alarm. Only after confirming that the customer is wearing it correctly and that the [Monitoring Bracelet] is not malfunctioning will they be allowed to enter.

Inside the club, two oddly dressed people who had just passed the inspection walked in, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

They wore headscarves and sunglasses, white robes, gold-trimmed capes, and leather shoes; it was unclear what country they were from.

But for some reason, it exudes an aura of extravagance!

Moreover, judging from the chips they were holding, they had exchanged a total of 3,000 Gold Coin!

Soon, they arrived at a large table for a roulette game.

It consists of a roulette wheel, an ivory ball, and a large table.

The rules are simple.

The roulette wheel rotates around its axis and is divided into 21 equal-sized areas, numbered from 1 to 20 and a non-number X.

After all players have placed their bets, the dealer will release a small ball, and the number it lands on is the final result.

Players can bet on a single number or a combination of numbers on a large table.

Different betting methods correspond to different odds.

For example, if you bet 1 Gold Coin on odd numbers, you can win 2 Gold Coin if you win.

However, since there are only 10 odd numbers in the 21 areas (X is not a number), the probability of winning is 10/21.

Therefore, the odds of winning are actually less than 1/2.

So, from an expected perspective, the operator makes a profit.

If you bet 1 Gold Coin on a single number or letter, you'll receive 20 Gold Coin if you win.

The odds of winning are 1/21, and in terms of expected value, the operator also has the advantage.

Although theoretically the operator's commission rate is around 5%, there are many ways for the operator to cheat in the lucky draw.

For example, the dealer can use certain tricks to influence which area the ball ultimately deflects, resulting in this unscrupulous club's actual commission rate exceeding 15%.

But it doesn't matter, Dekan will let his strength speak for itself and show the Inot Clan what it means for the King of Luck to have arrived.

First.

Croix bet 1000 Gold Coin coins on odd numbers and another 1000 Gold Coin coins on even numbers.

This immediately drew laughter from those around them.

This is undoubtedly giving money away to the operators!

Because regardless of whether the final result is odd or even, Croix will only win 2000 Gold Coin!

If the final result is not a number X, then Croix will not receive a single penny!

He spent a total of 2000 Gold Coin, but there is a 95.24% probability that it will remain unchanged at 2000 Gold Coin, and a 4.76% probability that it will become 0 Gold Coin.

This is a strategy that guarantees a loss and never a profit!

It's like giving money to the Inot Clan!

Just as people were making fun of Croix, Dekan also came to place a bet.

To everyone's surprise, Dekan bet 1,000 Gold Coin on a non-number X.

The maximum bet per transaction is 1000 Gold Coin.

He went all in.

"Are they together? What are they planning to do?"

"Don't you know who owns this place? The dealer can't possibly let the ball land smoothly towards the number X!"

If the number X actually lands on the target number, then Dekan will receive 20,000 Gold Coin!

That's twenty million Mint Coin!

This was also a huge financial blow to the Inot Clan.

However, the Inot Clan would not allow such a lucky person to be born!

"They must be visitors from abroad."

"These two idiots who gave away money are really stupid and have too much money."

People around them whispered among themselves.

The dealer was very nervous; he had rarely encountered a situation where someone would bet an entire 1,000 Gold Coin on a single number.

If he hadn't done something right, he would have let the ball roll onto X.

Then his life might be over.

Just as he was preparing to use his skillful little tricks to influence the ball's trajectory, causing it to deviate far from X.

It seemed as if an unknown gaze was fixed on him, and the intense sense of impending death made his back instinctively tense.

It's as if if he were to sense something amiss, he would be instantly killed by some force in the next second!

As a result, the dealer's hand trembled and he lost control.

The ball landed normally.

He watched the ball's trajectory in alarm.

There's still a chance.

Because if it's purely based on luck, it's very difficult for the ball to land exactly on the X!

However.

The ball seemed to be rejected by all the numbers!

It rolled naturally toward X.

In the end, the dealer could only watch helplessly as the ball landed steadily on the X.

"You can do that?!"

The people at the large table exclaimed in surprise.

This is simply a miracle!

The dealer's eyes widened, and his face turned pale.

If this happens, the Neuter gang will never let him get away with it!

Dekan gave a barely perceptible smirk.

"Idiot, you're trying to cheat me."

This is how the curse of misfortune bestowed upon Croix by the gods is utilized.

Whenever Croix encounters a situation that relies on luck or probability, her luck is exceptionally bad.

For example, when using cards with "probability," Croix is more likely to draw the worst possible outcome for herself.

The best example is when Croix used [Bandit Goblin] to steal Isabel's card last time.

As a result, Croix failed to steal any purple Magic Card before he had stolen almost all of Isabel's other belongings.

The higher the value of the card, the harder it is for Croix to steal.

In Dekan's series of experiments, Croix never managed to steal a purple card from someone using the [Bandit Goblin].

Even with the best luck, you can only steal a blue card on your first try.

The test results for the lottery game were similar.

So if Croix bets 1000 Gold Coin at once...

It's almost impossible to win 2000 and make a fortune!

By betting on both odd and even numbers, Croix effectively reduced the probability of these two scenarios occurring.

The ball was almost rolling towards X!

Therefore, the probability of Dekan winning the 20x bonus by betting on X is extremely high!

The two good buddies played this roulette game together, which was basically a way to withdraw money.

Soon, several staff members who looked suspicious came and took the "negligent" dealer away.

A while later.

A manager who looked very experienced arrived and settled the accounts for this round in place of the dealer.

He then stood in front of the large table, seemingly about to personally take over the duties of the croupier at that table.

Although the old manager had gray hair, he was strong and had a straight back. Judging from the extremely respectful attitude of the other staff, he probably held a high position.

A new game begins.

However, Dekan and Croix showed no intention of leaving.

It seems like they want to continue!

This made the old steward's eyes show some undisguised surprise.

These two guys don't know when to stop, are they just determined to court disaster?

Even if they could still win, would the Inot Clan let them go?

Croix, as before, strangely placed bets of 1000 Gold Coin each on odd and even numbers.

As expected, Dekan bet 1000 Gold Coin to X.

This time, many curious people also placed bets on X along with Dekan.

Despite their concerns that it might be a scam orchestrated by the club, they couldn't resist giving it a try.

As a result, the total amount for choosing to bet on X suddenly reached over 1,500 Gold Coin.

Moreover, in this game, a young man with jet-black, tousled hair actually placed 1000 Gold Coin on the number 10 opposite the X.

"Ha, I am the king of luck."

He exuded an aura of domineering power, showing no intention of restraining himself, and his voice was extremely arrogant.

It's clear he didn't intend to play like this from the start.

But upon seeing Dekan, he felt as if he had met his match and was ready for a high-stakes gamble.

This gave the old manager a bit of a headache.

Now he not only has to avoid letting the ball roll onto the X, but also avoid it rolling exactly onto the number 10.

After the betting period ends.

The old steward is also preparing to start this game.

However, just as the old steward was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!

For a moment, he even had a hallucination, as if a pair of giant eyes were staring at him from behind.

When the old steward came to his senses, he found his back was soaked with cold sweat.

This sense of oppression came from the black-haired youth who had bet on the number 10.

The other person was staring intently at his hands.

The old steward instantly understood that although this black-haired youth seemed arrogant, he did indeed have something to be proud of; he was a formidable expert.

If the old steward cheats, he'll probably be choked by this black-haired youth in the next second.

The old steward took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Then, without doing anything wrong, he started the game.

It all comes down to luck.

However.

This time, the ball rolled toward X as if repelled by the numbers.

"..."

The entire stadium fell silent at first, then erupted in cheers.

This time, the Inot Clan will have to pay not only the 20,000 Gold Coin to Dekan, but also more than 10,000 Gold Coin to compensate the retail players!

The dark-haired youth frowned, staring intently at the table, then glanced at Dekan and Croix.

Dekan met the black-haired youth's gaze through his sunglasses.

There was little communication between them.

Dekan then decided not to waste any more time.

The settlement was simply settled with the old manager.

Just as he picked up the chip box, preparing to exchange it for cash and leave...

"Gentlemen, the amount you need to exchange is far too large. Please come to our VIP room to discuss this further."

Soon, several men dressed in black waiters came into the club and stopped Dekan and Croix.

"They're so stupid! They should have left after winning just once!"

"You're still too greedy!"

Everyone present knew.

The Inot Family has no intention of letting these two go!

They might let them go after winning once, but the Inot Family wouldn't let themselves be taken advantage of twice!

"Sure, no problem."

However, Dekan simply gave a friendly smile and nodded.

Our benefactor has finally arrived!

We've been waiting for you to make your move!

Once they start, Dekan will have a reason to openly rob them!

When you factor in medical expenses, compensation for emotional distress, and so on, it won't be something that can be settled with just a few tens of thousands of Gold Coin!

"Etc."

Just as Dekan was about to happily leave with these people...

A voice called out to them from behind.

Dekan turned around and saw that it was the black-haired youth who had lost 1,000 Gold Coin earlier.

"Honestly give them every single Gold Coin."

The black-haired youth spoke in an absolute, commanding tone.

However, he did not appear to be a member of the Inot Clan, a criminal organization.

Because the other members of the Inot Clan began to stare at him with deathly eyes.

"Are you coming with us too?"

A burly guard walked up to the black-haired youth and asked coldly.

"Court death."

The black-haired youth raised his hand with an almost imperceptible speed and gently squeezed, snapping the burly man's hand in two.

A pitiful scream immediately echoed throughout the entire club.

The other guards instantly drew their weapons and Spell Card, preparing to kill the black-haired youth.

However, the black-haired youth merely smiled contemptuously and knocked all the servants to the ground in less than three seconds.

What's frightening is that he didn't use Magic Card at all.

He defeated these people simply by relying on his monstrous physical abilities.

Tearing apart summoned beasts with bare hands, taking magic head-on.

Dekan frowned slightly.

He didn't know why this guy was standing up for him.

But this thing really did disrupt my plans.

He was wondering if he should unleash [Three-Corpse Berserk] if the two sides were to completely clash, making the situation even more chaotic.

Then he can take advantage of the chaos and achieve his goal in the same way.

"Don't do it!"

The old manager shouted to stop the club staff.

Then, looking at the black-haired youth with a solemn expression, he said, "We will act according to the rules."

The old steward knew very well that this black-haired youth was not someone to be trifled with, and even with his extensive experience, he couldn't fathom the youth's true strength.

If it really comes down to a fight to the death, even if we manage to get support from headquarters, the entire club will probably be slaughtered by this black-haired youth.

Then there really will be nothing left.

Soon, the staff brought 37 Magic Crystal Coin and handed them to Dekan.

One of these Magic Crystal Coin can be exchanged for 1,000 Gold Coin. As a currency that is not usually circulated in the market, it is mainly used for transactions between high-ranking nobles.

Its commemorative significance outweighs its actual function of circulation.

Dekan counted the Magic Crystal Coin in the small briefcase, his expression full of annoyance.

You could have earned more...

It's all this troublemaker's fault, and that cowardly old manager's fault too.

Oh well, contentment brings happiness.

Dekan decided to call it a day.

He's not Morion, nor does he need to plunder someone's entire fortune to be satisfied.

"As payment for helping you, play a couple more rounds with me."

The black-haired youth called out to Dekan again, who was trying to leave.

He lost to Dekan in the last game and was a little upset.

He wants to have a proper showdown with Dekan.

No, thank you.

Dekan replied calmly.

This person actually made things worse than helpful.

But Dekan felt that the guy at least meant well.

Therefore, I didn't want to cheat him out of his money.

"If you won't bet with me, it wouldn't be too much for me to beat you all down like I did just now, would it?"

"Hmph. Even if I agree to the bet, what if you lose and continue to threaten us like this?"

Upon hearing this, Dekan became quite excited.

This guy is kind of funny.

Even though I didn't want to scam him, why did I still insist on giving him money?

The black-haired youth said, "I always honor my bets. If I were greedy, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble."

Dekan: "Okay then, but I don't want to make things too complicated. How about a pure contest of luck?"

Black-haired youth. "No problem."

So the two of them started by drawing number cards.

Whoever has the higher number wins.

The club's senior manager led them to the VIP room and personally dealt them the cards.

Because the senior manager knew that neither side were ordinary people, he was extra cautious, demonstrating the professional skills of a seasoned croupier.

However.

After more than ten rounds, Dekan and the black-haired youth had each won and lost.

However, Dekan won far more often than he lost.

It was as if Goddess Luck was standing beside Dekan.

It's clear that Dekan seems to have completely outmaneuvered the black-haired youth in terms of pure luck.

The black-haired youth was certain that neither the dealer nor the other party had cheated!

Because no small movement can escape his dynamic vision and Magic Power perception!

"How is that possible... Are there really people in this world with such incredible luck? Do you have divine blessings?"

The black-haired youth was puzzled.

Even if it's the god who controls luck, he shouldn't give such outrageous blessings!

Such intense interference with luck is only possible if a god of misfortune wanted to curse a soul for eternity, and would go to any lengths to curse a person to cause such a change in their luck!

"No, just an honest guy passing by."

Dekan said calmly.

"Hateful..."

The black-haired youth clenched his teeth.

He was absolutely unwilling to accept that he had lost because of sheer luck!

"Continue?"

Dekan asked with a light laugh, a hint of disdain in his smile.

"Continue!!"

The black-haired youth increased the stakes without hesitation.

Even without Croix's intervention, Dekan's luck was still strangely good this time.

The reason is that he did it in advance.

Dekan signed a Gambling Agreement with Croix before arriving.

[Party A: Croix]

[Party B: Dekan]

[Party B provides Party A with permanent card production support, but the amount Party A needs to pay Party B is the total amount of Gold Coin Party B acquires today.]

For example, if Dekan earns 1 Gold Coin today, Croix needs to pay Dekan 1 Gold Coin.

So the more Dekan earns, the more Croix loses.

Dekan has been diligently conducting scientific research, exploring how to maximize the use of the divine curse of misfortune on Croix.

Thus, his research outcome came about— Gambling Agreement.

This kind of Gambling Agreement, which involves a degree of luck, can indeed link the luck of Dekan and Croix to some extent.

However, the strength of the association depends on the fairness of the agreement.

If this is a meaningless fake contract, then their luck is not actually related.

The stronger the association effect, the greater the fairness of the agreement and the greater its actual impact.

Dekan wants to get an "opportunity to earn unlimited amounts of Gold Coin" from Croix, but he also needs to pay an equal price.

Clearly, Dekan's Lifetime Card-Making Service also has no upper limit on value, and it's difficult to estimate its exact worth in Gold Coin.

Therefore, the agreement possesses a certain degree of fairness.

Under this agreement, for every extra Gold Coin Dekan earns, it's equivalent to Croix having to spend an extra Gold Coin.

Therefore, Croix's powerful bad luck will cause Croix to lose more Gold Coin in luck-based actions, while Dekan will be more likely to earn more Gold Coin in luck-based actions because of Croix's bad luck.

Today, even the God of Misfortune is being ruthlessly exploited by Dekan.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker.

In the underground club, the stakes between Dekan and the black-haired youth kept increasing.

Until the black-haired youth finally ran out of money.

Dekan chuckled and shook his head, asking the shopkeeper to exchange his Gold Coin for Magic Crystal Coin as much as possible. He then packed the coins into his suitcase and prepared to leave.

"Etc!"

The black-haired youth sat across from the card table, shouting with a resentful expression.

"What, are you trying to renege on your debt?"

Dekan asked with a smile.

"I'm out of money, but I still have Magic Card. I can use all the cards except epic cards as stakes!"

"Um?"

The black-haired youth quickly took out some Purple Rare Magic Card with excellent effects and spread them out on the table.

Dekan frowned as he looked at the cards.

This guy's rank is really high.

Moreover, his cards are either equipment or body-enhancing spells, clearly following the same path as Cornelia's.

"If you want to leave, then leave; I accept my loss! But if you still want to gamble with me, I'll play along to the end!"

Looking at the black-haired youth's behavior—so engrossed yet so principled about card games and martial ethics— Dekan felt a little reluctant to cheat him.

Dude, even if you're a gambling master, you can't beat me in a battle of luck today!

"Forget it, losing these cards will only bring you more trouble."

Dekan sighed and shook his head.

However, the black-haired youth merely sneered:

"Heh, who do you take me for? Even without these Magic Cards, I'm still invincible! You're just afraid I'll beat you all in one fell swoop, aren't you!"

Dekan was speechless for a moment.

You may not be the king of luck, but you are certainly the madman of your generation.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a benefactor.

Dekan really wasn't planning on using mystical powers to trick this obsessed guy anymore.

But this black-haired youth insisted on being so arrogant.

Dekan felt that if he didn't give him another good squeeze, he would be doing a disservice to his reckless nature.

"Then let's continue."

And so began another high-stakes gamble that lasted several tens of minutes.

Keep gambling.

The black-haired youth had gambled away all the cards he had that could be used to untie himself.

"If you keep losing, you'll lose everything. Can we leave now?"

The black-haired youth had gambled so much that he had even pawned his clothes to the club, exchanging them for a few Gold Coin for one last gamble.

They still lost to Dekan.

The black-haired youth lowered his head, biting his lip, clenching his fist tightly on the card table, and nodded with difficulty.

"Then we'll meet again someday."

Dekan had to admit that while this guy wasn't the brightest, his card etiquette was truly superb.

This guy probably has nothing left besides epic cards.

However, epic cards are difficult to unbind.

Firstly, there is no amber material needed to untie it here, and even if it were possible, it would require a rather complicated process and a certain amount of time.

Even if he were willing to take it out, he couldn't turn it into a tradable stake.

Dekan and Croix prepared to leave, carrying the box of Gold Coin.

"Wait! I'll bet this on you!"

As he spoke, the black-haired youth took out another stamp from his pocket and slammed it onto the card table.

He seemed to have been driven to the point of madness before he took this thing out.

"Ha, they even have a treasure to show off their family's wealth?"

Dekan glanced back at the guy's final bet with a hint of disdain.

He'd even gambled away Magic Card, so what valuable item could he possibly have left?

However, when Dekan actually noticed the seal, his pupils suddenly dilated.

Dekan quickly maintained his acting skills, not letting his expression change, and pretended not to recognize the seal.

Because he can't let anyone know that he knows this thing!

Dekan is very familiar with this thing!

This is insane!

It is the Bishop's Token of the Resurrection Church!!!
