Chapter 243 -229: Gambling God, We Are Playing 15 Hands!
Buffett pulled out a gold coin and said, “I have only one gold coin on me, while you have at least 50,000 gold coins. In gambling, it’s always the player with deep pockets that has the advantage. Because if they lose one round, they can bet two coins the next time. If they lose again, they can bet four coins, and if they lose again, eight. They have no reason to lose continuously, right? As long as they win one round, all previous losses are recovered. And for you, winning just one round against me would promote you to a Master of Luck. How does that sound? The opportunity is right in front of you!”
Da Fei raised an eyebrow; what he said made a lot of sense! Although winning one round against him to get promoted sounded unreliable, with this kind of betting, wouldn’t my 50,000 gold coins be more than enough? Am I really afraid of him?
He decided to go for it.
Da Fei sat down across from him and said seriously, “Alright, let’s start!”
Buffett laughed heartily, “Luck is important, but courage is essential! You have all the qualities for promotion!”
In that instant, the entire tavern of dwarfs erupted, “Buffett is finally gambling again!”
People quickly gathered around to watch, and the atmosphere felt like a “Gambling God” was in the house!
Buffett solemnly placed his only gold coin on the table and said, “I bet 1 coin! It’s your turn to bet now.”
Da Fei asked with surprise, “How much should I bet?” Da Fei was a complete novice when it came to gambling. Of course, this was a shining example of Da Fei’s noble character. He felt proud of his ignorance instead of ashamed!
Buffett said solemnly, “You can bet any amount; as long as I win, I’ll win 1 gold coin from you. If you win, I’ll pay whatever you bet, even though I don’t have any more gold coins. I have some valuable treasures on me, so don’t worry, I can afford to lose.”
I see. Dwarfs’ gambling was indeed simple and straightforward. Da Fei’s goal wasn’t to win money but to win against him. So Da Fei also pulled out a gold coin and said, “Then I’ll bet 1 coin too!”
Buffett nodded, “Let’s get started! I’ll roll first!”
–System Prompt: Your “High Stakes” game with Buffett is now starting!
And in that instant, a rainbow of light rose above Buffett’s head, and the entire tavern of dwarfs exclaimed, “The God of Luck is smiling on Buffett again!”
Da Fei looked up at his head in astonishment and nearly peed himself! Are you kidding me? When others invoke luck, it’s just a flash of rainbow light, but on him, it lingered like the halo behind a Buddha’s head, like the glow on a high-level angel’s head! This was undoubtedly a God-level Skill. Holy shit, how outrageous was this! Was he sure he hadn’t reached the God-level realm?
As the three dice settled in the bowl, he got a result: 1, 2, 5. It didn’t look impressive! Wasn’t the Gambling God supposed to easily roll three sixes? Was there a chance here?
–System Prompt: Buffett rolled a total of 8 points.
“Your turn!” Buffett said with an incredibly serious look on his face.
All the dwarves immediately quieted and watched Da Fei intently. Damn it, how to win against someone blatantly cheating like this? It’s pointless to say anything, for a mere 1 coin, just roll!
3, 2, 2. Damn! Was it meant to mess with me?
The entire room of dwarves erupted, “Only 1 point short! So close!”
–System Prompt: You rolled a total of 7 points. Unfortunately, you lost 1 gold coin to Buffett!
–System Prompt: In the Luck Challenge, you lost to Buffett and gained information on Master-level Luck Skill!
Da Fei raised an eyebrow; the Master info emerged for real! He wasn’t lying! Damn! It had to be, I’m competing against someone with a God-level Skill, there must be info!
So that’s how it was. When Sailing Captain Juan discerned the Pirate King’s God-level Skill, he instantly advanced to Grandmaster. So if I defeat this guy with a God-level Skill, I will certainly advance to Grandmaster too!
Buffett happily pocketed Da Fei’s wagered coin and asked with a smile, “Well, did you gain any insights?”
Da Fei nodded blankly, “Yes, I did. But how long does your skill last?”
Buffett laughed heartily, “It lasts for a day! And this skill can only be used once a month! But only in this state will I be able to help you progress in our duel. Only with the temporary Master Luck upon you can you gain insights from our match. Without either of these conditions, you’d miss today and have to find me again next month. But you’ll have lost the temporary Master Luck, so it’d just be a waste of money to find me again! So, do you want to continue? Opportunities shouldn’t be missed!”
I see! This temporary Master Luck of mine is a rare opportunity! Of course, I shouldn’t miss it!
Da Fei said resolutely, “Let’s continue!”
Buffett said with satisfaction, “This time, I’ll bet 2 gold coins!”
Da Fei’s eye twitched; he was even betting the money he just won? Without further ado, let’s begin!
–System Prompt: In the Luck Challenge, you lost to Buffett and gained information on Master-level Luck Skill!
No turning back now, keep going!
Buffett nodded, “This time, I’ll bet 4 gold coins!”
Da Fei felt a shiver run through him! If he won again, would he bet 8 coins next time? Wasn’t this the legendary exponential sequence? The basic principle of binary computing!
It starts with 1 coin turning into 2, then 2 into 4, 4 into 8, 8 into 16, 16 into 32, 32 into 64, 64 into 128, only 7 times, not much to notice. But by the 10th time, it becomes frightening: 1024! That’s right; in 10 rounds, your stake multiplies a thousand times! And what if it goes through 10 more rounds? That’s a thousand times a thousand, which is 2 to the power of 20, over a million! Multiplied by a million!
