Chapter 245 -229: Gambling God, We’re Playing 15 Rounds!_3
“Buffett frowned and said, “He and the people around him were lucky, which means that many others were unlucky. It’s still a zero-sum game!”
Da Fei nodded, “You’re absolutely right, sir, but at least he can make a small group around him lucky as well. Isn’t that enough?”
Buffett suddenly realized, “You mean, you want me to reach God-level so you can advance to Grandmaster?”
Da Fei nodded again, “Exactly. I’m a Crossbow Cannon Grandmaster. Do you know how I became a Grandmaster? It wasn’t through relentless slaughter, nor through endless study of new Crossbow Cannons. It was by teaching Crossbow Cannon skills to others. When I taught others, my own level naturally improved!”
Buffett stood up abruptly, “Tell me, what do you plan to do!”
Da Fei gritted his teeth, “Of course, I’m going to keep gambling!”
Da Fei wanted to try out a sudden absurd idea, even if it was absurd, that would let him win a large sum of money in one go. Just like running a business; the more you earn, the more experience you gain. So if a gambler wins more, it must be possible to advance, right?
Buffett was dumbfounded, “You want to go on?”
Da Fei turned to Spielberg and sighed, “Sir, could I borrow, say, 14,000 Gold Coins from you? If you’re not comfortable with that, it’s alright. I’ll try to gamble a few rounds with others to gather 14,000 Gold Coins before the day ends.”
Borrowing money from an NPC was unreliable, yet it’s something Da Fei had experienced before–carrying a massive debt of 100 million.
Spielberg sighed, “Although I never lend for gambling, since it’s to help Mr. Buffett advance to God-level, I can make an exception. However, I have one condition!”
Da Fei quickly replied, “An interest fee?”
Spielberg laughed, “It’s a condition for Mr. Buffett!”
Buffett exclaimed, “What?”
Spielberg laughed, “The Captain and Mr. Buffett, two of the luckiest people, meeting on such a distant island to discuss the mysteries of God-level–it indeed would be a lovely story throughout the Hero Continent!”
Coltner immediately said, “I’m a poet, and I have good connections in the Kingdom. I’ll compose a poem about this meeting and make it widely known.”
“Sing about it?” a room full of dwarves muttered, “What are you planning?”
Spielberg laughed, “Since the Captain wants to study God-level skills through gambling, I hope that after the study ends, win or lose, Mr. Buffett will return the money! After all, it’s all to help you!”
“Return the money after winning?” Buffett was taken aback, and the room full of dwarves erupted in surprise.
And Da Fei was even more stunned, speechless! Wow, this Spielberg usually doesn’t speak; he makes an impact whenever he does! Making gambling out to be research!
“No way! No way! We dwarves have no such rules!” The entire venue was filled with boos from the dwarves.
Damn! So it’s not going to work? If a player makes such a nonsensical request, it’s understandable if it’s unsuccessful, but not even the NPC Spielberg can make it work?
Wait! Da Fei was startled. What does it mean when an NPC suddenly steps in? It means a special scene plot has been triggered! Just like before in the cabin of the Flying, when Didi and Lili spoke to the creepy gunner before they became adults!
Triggering a special scene means an important event has happened! From my experience, it’s the precursor to advancing! It means all the conditions for someone to advance are already met! That’s why the system plays a special cutscene! It’s bound to succeed! Today will definitely succeed!
Da Fei was vaguely excited! What should I do now? Just smile, right?
Facing the dwarves’ opposition, Spielberg shook his head and sighed, “Captain, since they all disagree, there’s nothing we can do. We can’t risk losing money ourselves to help someone advance to God-level. Sorry, I can’t lend the money.”
Coltner also sighed, “It’s a pity, a legendary poem lost!”
Da Fei was bewildered, what performance was this?
Buffett slapped the table with resolve, “Fine! Money is not the problem. Whether or not I advance, I’ll pay back the winnings. Of course, I won’t pay back the 1,023 Gold Coins I’ve won now!”
Da Fei burst out laughing, “As expected of the Gambling God! Then let’s get started!”
Now, the 11th round began, and Da Fei lost.
Then, the 12th round began, and Da Fei lost again. The 13th round, 14th round, Da Fei lost again.
The 15th round began, and now, Buffett, who had won 15 rounds in a row, bet everything, 32,768 Gold Coins!
And how much did Da Fei have in hand? 32,768!
If Da Fei lost, what would happen? The legendary 65,535 would appear! It is a magical number! It is a number often seen, it is 255×255, the legendary limit of binary! In Da Fei’s gaming era, whether using a cheat to modify single-player games or on a private server, 65,535 was a sacred and inviolable number; once you surpassed this threshold, -1 would appear, and a new cycle would begin!
Now, facing this magical number, Gambling God, how will you respond?
—-System Prompt: In the Lucky Duel, you lost to Buffett. You received information about the Master-level Luck Skill!
Da Fei and the Gambling God exchanged glances.
Crap, thought too much! The rule of 65,535, from ancient times, couldn’t thwart the high-tech game Heroic Creation Era.
Da Fei could only give a long sigh, “Gambling God, pay up; let’s play another 15 rounds!” (To be continued.
