Chapter 0804 The Casino Owner

Di Mingchun didn’t believe at all that Qin Yun had mastered the game.

He himself had only found the trick to cheating thanks to his martial soul and years of experience in this game.

Of course, he didn’t dare cheat too often, as it could easily arouse suspicion.

Especially when playing against cultivators at the Emperor Wu realm, he deliberately alternated between wins and losses.

But Qin Yun appeared to be only at the late-stage Profound Realm, so Di Mingchun had no qualms and planned to make him lose everything.

This time, Qin Yun upped the ante, betting his Profound Realm weapon and the two billion purple spirit coins in his possession—a total of four billion!

Di Mingchun also had a considerable amount of purple spirit coins on hand, so naturally, he called the bet.

As before, this round involved choosing five jade pieces.

Soon, it was time to weigh the jade!

Qin Yun’s stones weighed three and seven-tenths pounds this time, while Di Mingchun’s were three and five-tenths pounds!

Qin Yun won again!

The onlookers burst into cheers.

Qin Yun had won four billion purple spirit coins—and wouldn’t have to split the winnings with Pan Longxuan.

His total spirit coin count now reached six billion!

Anyone could see that Qin Yun had no intention of leaving. After such a hot streak, as long as he hadn’t lost everything, he would surely keep playing—and if he continued, he might win even more!

Di Mingchun still couldn’t be sure whether Qin Yun had truly mastered the trick to gambling with golden jade, as it was an incredibly difficult skill.

After all, Qin Yun had clearly been a total beginner earlier, losing the first round.

Winning twice in a row now could very well be pure luck.

Golden jade pieces of the same size might differ in weight by a few liang, and Di Mingchun’s limit was only subtly altering the weight by two liang at most.

If he encountered someone with good luck who picked naturally heavy and high-quality golden jade, even his cheating wouldn’t ensure victory.

Of course, Qin Yun wasn’t just lucky—his Dark Sun artifact’s power was formidable, easily infusing into the golden jade to temporarily increase its weight, an effect that could last for days.

Di Mingchun’s limit was two liang, but Qin Yun could add a pound or two without issue—though that would be too obvious.

The exact increase was controlled by Ling Yun'er, who calculated it precisely, always keeping Qin Yun’s stones just one or two liang heavier than Di Mingchun’s, making it impossible to detect.

"Still going?" Di Mingchun refused to believe it wasn’t just bad luck and pressed on.

"Of course. Unless I lose everything, I won’t leave this gambling den!" Qin Yun laughed.

A middle-aged onlooker chuckled, "Looks like either this guy loses it all, or the casino goes bankrupt!"

"Wasn’t Di Mingchun’s luck pretty good before? How did he lose so much?"

"All his luck got drained by that guy!"

Among the spectators, some had lost heavily themselves, while others were just there for the excitement.

They were all very interested in such high-stakes gambling.

This time, Qin Yun bet a total of 800 million, including that Profound Artifact!

Di Mingchun matched the bet. If he could sweep this 800 million in a single round, he would still make a huge profit.

When Qin Yun first entered, he only had 10 million [coins]. Now he had already won 800 million. If it were anyone else, they would have left long ago, satisfied.

But Qin Yun felt it wasn’t enough—he wanted to gamble until Pan Long Xuan had to shut its doors.

After Qin Yun and Di Mingchun picked five stones and cracked open the stones to reveal the gold jade inside, they moved on to weigh their finds.

This time, Di Mingchun’s weighed three jin and eight liang!

While Qin Yun’s was three jin and nine liang!

A single liang difference made Qin Yun was drenched in cold sweat!

"Hahaha, I won again!" Qin Yun had been quite nervous earlier, sweating all over.

The crowd held their breath—this one liang difference meant 800 million Purple Crystal Coins!

After losing this round, Di Mingchun sat on a chair, his face twisted in agony.

"Keep going!" Qin Yun was hooked now.

"I only have 50 million left!" Di Mingchun said.

"50 million’s nothing to sneeze at... I lost everything too, but then I used my Profound Artifact as collateral to turn things around. Who knows, your 50 million might just flip the tables!" Qin Yun laughed.

Though Di Mingchun couldn’t confirm whether Qin Yun was cheating, he smelled something fishy and was unwilling to continue gambling.

Otherwise, he’d truly lose everything and might even end up having to mortgage his belongings.

At this moment, an elder called out, "The owner of Pan Long Xuan is here!"

The owner of Pan Long Xuan was named Long Shanwei, a middle-aged man. Just from his name, it was clear he was from the Long family—and also a Martial King Realm expert!

Seeing Long Shanwei arrive, Di Mingchun quickly stood up and approached him, filling him in quietly.

Long Shanwei had managed such a large casino for many years and undoubtedly knew every trick in the book.

He chuckled and said, "Kid, the way you’re going, you won’t stop until you’ve lost everything. I live for reckless punters like you!"

Qin Yun replied, "That older brother just now won’t gamble anymore. Can you keep the game going?"

"Hahaha..." Long Shanwei let out a hearty laugh and said, "I’m the owner here—of course I can make you happy!"

"Then let’s raise the stakes to a billion this round. We’ll keep gambling on gold jade!" Qin Yun said.

"You’re on!" Long Shanwei sat down.

At this point, someone brought a fresh set of stones.

Cool as a cucumber, Long Shanwei let Qin Yun pick the stones first.

The crowd watched, dead silent.

Long Shanwei was the owner of Pan Long Xuan. Whenever someone gambled against the establishment, he had to face the player.

Di Mingchun watched closely, trying to spot Qin Yun’s trick.

Of course, he also wanted to know if Long Shanwei had his own methods—these tricks were closely guarded.

After crushing the black stone, Qin Yun extracted the gold jade and sneakily added weight to it while holding it.

This time, Ling Yuner also added weight to the gold jade!

Qin Yun shot a sly glance at Long Shanwei, knowing the other party was also cheating.

"Xiao Yun, that guy is the boss here—he wouldn’t dare go too far!" Ling Yuner said.

When it came time to weigh, Long Shanwei went first—five gold jade pieces tipped the scales at four catties!

During weighing, a designated person used tweezers to handle the gold jade, so no one could tamper with it.

When it was Qin Yun’s turn, his weighed four catties and two taels!

Qin Yun came out on top again!

Long Shanwei frowned—now he knew he was dealing with a real shark.

Qin Yun raked in another billion purple crystals and let out a loud, taunting laugh.

Now, he had two billion in hand!

"Let’s continue. How much for this round?" Long Shanwei wasn’t about to accept defeat and had to press on. Losing one billion purple crystals had him steaming, and he naturally wanted to win it back.

"Two billion!" Qin Yun grinned.

"Fine!" Long Shanwei’s pressure was mounting. If he lost again, his total losses would reach three billion.

Di Mingchun also took a deep breath—even he had never gambled with stakes this high.

The onlookers were in awe of Qin Yun’s hot streak. Everyone knew he had entered with only one million purple crystals, but now he was sitting on two billion.

Only Long Shanwei and Di Mingchun knew Qin Yun was playing dirty, but they couldn’t pin it on him.

This wasn’t the Long family’s territory—otherwise, a troublemaker like Qin Yun would’ve been taken care of already.

Qin Yun was fearless precisely because they were in Immortal Weapon City.

If this casino dared to act against him, he’d shut them down for good.

Long Shanwei and Qin Yun went another round—and he lost again!

Qin Yun now had a total of four billion purple crystals!

Though Long Shanwei was the boss, the casino’s earnings had to kick back a cut to the Long family. If he kept gambling, he would lose all the recent profits and be left with nothing to show for it.

But he couldn’t refuse Qin Yun either!

Otherwise, the house’s rep would be toast.

"Keep going! This round, I’ll bet four billion!" Qin Yun chirped with a grin.

"We’re not betting on gold jade anymore!" Long Shanwei declared. "I’ve got a fresh game! If you’re willing to play this way, I’ll pay you double!"

Qin Yun drew a sharp breath—if he bet four billion and won, he’d not only walk away with his four billion but a sweet eight billion bonus.

"Bring it on!" Qin Yun wasn't afraid either. If he lost, he was confident he could win it back—as long as the casino stayed open, he could always bounce back.

Long Shanwei took out five black bowls and placed them upside down on the table, then put a bead inside one of them.

He set the five bowls in the center of the table and said, "These five bowls are all spatial magic artifacts, all linked! Once I activate them, the bead inside will bounce around randomly. When I stop, the bead will land in one of the bowls at random. If you guess which bowl it’s in, you win!"

Qin Yun was secretly delighted—this was just a mini shell game, a game he’d mastered ages ago.

"Alright!" He stared at the five bowls and agreed.

Using his Spirit Eye, he instantly saw through the interiors of the bowls.

It was similar to the shell game, just on a smaller scale.

Long Shanwei began manipulating the five bowls, making the bead inside zip around chaotically.

Qin Yun could see the bead moving wildly among the bowls, but he was subtly steering it—effortlessly.

Soon, Long Shanwei stopped and said, "Guess which bowl the bead is in now?"

"Bowl number two!" Qin Yun pointed at it.

Long Shanwei didn’t know which bowl the bead was in either, but he doubted Qin Yun could guess it so easily.

"Alright!" When Long Shanwei lifted the bowl, his face went white.

"You lose!" Qin Yun laughed. "Pay up—the purple crystal coins!"

Long Shanwei’s hand shook as he clutched the purple crystal card, transferring eight billion to Qin Yun.

"Boss, he’s gotta be cheating! This guy’s clearly using some trick to see through the bowls! This isn’t fair!" Di Mingchun stepped forward, grabbing Qin Yun angrily.

"Can’t take a loss?" Qin Yun sneered.

"It’s not the loss—it’s you cheating to win, breaking the rules! Give back the purple crystal coins, and we’ll overlook it!" One of the elders also approached, closing in on Qin Yun.
