Chapter 1185: Chapter 1183: Advanced Animals (12)
They’re still playing so extremely?
From this distance, Yuan Shan could naturally hear the content of the phone call, and for a moment she was simply stupefied.
Not only is he accepting the compensation from the other party, betting according to the hints, but this is also a kind of all-in thrilling gamble?
As a mysterious person sharing luck, Midas’ intention is very simple - he would tell you how to bet, so as to make your profits soar rapidly.
But as required, you have to stake all your assets in every round, and take on a special risk - not knowing when the game will end and revert you back to your original state.
In some ways, this is a quite stimulating game.
And it sounds like Mogrim and Ah Lan’s group received similar treatment at the time.
From the outcome, as seasoned gamblers, they clearly knew when to stop in time and preserved their fortune.
As for whether this is the reason they were deemed unacceptable remains unknown.
"So they are considered too timid?"
No sooner had this thought entered his mind than Fu Qian directly brought it up over the phone.
"Yes, they are clearly not crazy enough, or their level of craziness is not sufficient to cover their flaws."
Sure enough, the other party confirmed his speculation.
"Then congratulations to you."
Fu Qian nodded slightly, his gaze firm, sounding as if he were complimenting himself.
...
Indeed, money isn’t important, it’s the thrill that interests him more!
Yuan Shan watched beside him, her forehead veins twitching.
She never thought that this guy, Fu Qian, would be lacking in money.
After all, his transcendent way of doing business had left a profound impression on her.
Therefore, her first reaction just now was that he superficially accepted the compensation, but in reality, he was preparing to use this method to find the other party.
However, now Yuan Shan was not so confident anymore.
Since getting to know him, his methods have been extraordinary, but his tendency to seek fun is also clearly quite serious.
This special kind of compensation at the moment, really might excite his interest.
And given his temperament, it’s unlikely he would stop halfway no matter what.
The problem is, if that happens, wasting time is one thing, and it may lead to even more trouble.
It’s hard to say whether Midas is intentionally probing, but at this moment, the place where Fu Qian is, is obviously beyond the scope of a Transcendent project.
Casinos may not always verify the identity of gamblers, but if you win too outrageously, a check-up is almost certain to happen.
By then, regardless of how it’s handled, it’s going to be a huge mess, not to mention that discovering a Transcendent looking for you might scare Midas into hiding, making the search even more troublesome.
Yuan Shan felt a headache at this moment.
"You can tell he’s a rookie."
Ross, who was forced to follow along with his phone, was also taking a break and came over, shaking his head continuously.
"They never know when to stop."
"Speaking of which, can I have that piece of paper back now?"
And seizing the opportunity to speak, he quickly asked with caution.
Fu Qian had given Yuan Shan the note he’d taken from him, and aside from the phone, he was obviously more concerned about that.
Unfortunately, just as he finished asking cautiously, he realized that the corner of his eye was empty.
Turning his head abruptly, he saw that the cold-faced employer of dubious standing was now nowhere to be seen.
...
"You’re saying he found the person, but is having too much fun in the casino to come out?"
In another religious building of starkly different style, Old Master Henry listened carefully to the information brought by Yuan Shan and for a while, did not even know what to make of it.
"Yeah, and it looks like he’s going to get into trouble really soon."
Yuan Shan sighed toward the heavens, knowing well her teacher’s temperament, she swung by this place first on her way back, otherwise, she might have taken a needless detour.
Neither of these two was reliable.
"He found Midas..."
Henry seemed completely uninterested in what was to come; the next moment, he murmured to himself and stood up.
"Take me over there."
"Okay."
Yuan Shan readily agreed.
After some thought, she suddenly felt that it might be a good idea to take up Fu Qian’s suggestion and discuss the situation with her teacher to see the reaction.
After all, broadly speaking, they had "found" the rat.
If the teacher could accept this result and end this test before the farce became unmanageable, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
At this moment, not only did the teacher not reveal any intention to kill, but he was even willing to take a look, which naturally satisfied her greatly.
She hoped it was not too late.
...
"You’ve arrived?"
A moment later, Fu Qian, who was clearly the center of attention, turned back to nod at Yuan Shan and the other person, his expression not at all surprised.
Looking at the pile of chips in front of him, Old Master Henry’s face showed obvious concern.
Chief Yuan’s brow was slightly furrowed, with a touch of confusion.
The phone was clearly still connected. From before until now, this guy hadn’t lost everything in a single hand?
But if he had been winning all along, the size of the chip stack seemed a bit short.
"I took a short break earlier; I haven’t been playing for long."
Fu Qian seemed to understand her thoughts and explained with a smiling face.
"So, are you planning to stop now?"
Instantly resolving her confusion, Yuan Shan felt a bit relieved and subtly signaled towards a certain direction without attracting attention.
In the crowd of onlookers, aside from those enjoying the spectacle, there were clearly special staff members watching closely.
If this continued, it was highly likely that this individual would be invited aside for a serious conversation.
"How could that be?"
Fu Qian looked surprised.
"I was waiting for you to come to help me with the chips, oh right—thank you."
The next moment, Fu Qian suddenly picked up his phone, thanked someone, and then turned it off, putting it into his pocket.
What are you doing? Why did you turn it off just like that?
Let the teacher listen to the voice on the other side at least!
This maneuver was driving Yuan Shan crazy.
I went through all the trouble to bring the person here, if you’re too lazy to catch them, at least make a show of "finding" them!
"Which one do you think is better to bet on?"
Unfortunately, Fu Qian did not pay her any more attention and instead turned to Henry and asked directly.
What shocked Yuan Shan was that the latter, staring at the pile of chips, actually started contemplating seriously, as if he had forgotten his original intention for coming.
I’ll be damned...
Yuan Shan, seething with resentment, watched, like all the other spectators, as the old and the young pushed all those chips in for the bet.
"That’s a pity."
And the next moment, Yuan Shan heard more than one expression of regret.
The moment the call was terminated, the good luck disappeared instantly.
In the dealer’s words of consolation, the mountain of chips had all been swept away.
And the suddenly penniless lucky one faced no obstacles when leaving.
...
"Is it done?"
And a short while later, within this disheartened group, facing Henry who had come up with the bad idea, Fu Qian looked free of any negative emotions, even asking with a smile.
"It’s done."
Henry sighed in response, his expression a mix of reflection and melancholy.
