The young man was startled at first, then slowly revealed a fierce expression. “Open then… don’t regret it…”

All three people opened their dice cups and displayed the point values.

The young man first looked at the middle-aged man beside him—his dice were actually four “fours” and one “five.”

The young man instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he had called “eight fours,” and now the middle-aged man had four “fours” while he himself had one “one”—added together that was already five “fours.”

As long as Earth-Monkey had three “fours” in his hand, he couldn’t lose.

Moreover, Earth-Monkey had called out “six fours” at the very beginning, indicating there was a high probability he had multiple “fours” in his hand.

But when Earth-Monkey lazily opened his dice cup, the originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent at this moment.

Inside his dice cup were clearly three “twos” and two “threes.”

“You fucking…” The young man slammed the table hard, feeling he had been played. “You don’t have any ‘fours’ at all, yet you opened by calling ‘six fours’?!”

“Is there a rule saying I can’t?” Earth-Monkey threw his dice cup directly onto the table, removed the cigarette from his mouth, then extinguished it with his index finger and thumb. “I don’t have any ‘fours’ myself, but I felt you all had them.”

“You… you…”

“Besides, you could have called ‘open’ too—who knows, I might have lost?” Earth-Monkey again pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth and lit it. “Willing gambler, willing loser—no one can blame anyone else.”

Although this reasoning was exactly right, to call “open” upon hearing “six fours” in the opening stage was really too bold. If the three people really did have “six fours” in their hands, the person who called “open” would lose.

“This old monkey head is quite interesting.” Chen Junnan said quietly to Qiao Jiajin. “Psychological warfare.”

“‘Gambling’ has never been a game of luck,” Qiao Jiajin said. “There are too many elements that affect a gambling match, and this kind of game theory is even more so. People who just want to test their luck never win.”

“Damn… playing me…”

After hearing this, Earth-Monkey sneered coldly. “Can’t handle losing? If you’re not afraid of death, you can also make trouble.”

“I…” The man naturally knew what making trouble in front of an “Earth-level” meant. He didn’t even need the “Divine Beast” to step in—the Earth-Monkey before him could dismember him completely.

“Fine, I lost.”

The young man pushed the dozens of “Dao” in front of him forward, pushing them in front of Earth-Monkey, then stood up to leave.

“Wait.” Earth-Monkey slapped the table. “Where are you going?”

“I’ve lost everything. I’m leaving,” the young man said.

“Oh, that really is a pity for you.”

Earth-Monkey’s expression was half-smile, half-not, then he pointed to the wall behind him where an old handwritten poster was pasted, with only two lines.

Entry ticket: two “Dao.”

Exit redemption: ten “Dao.”

Earth-Monkey slowly raised his eyes to look at the young man. “Two ‘Dao’ to come in and play as you like—if you win, it’s all yours. But I’m running a casino here, naturally I need to collect a service fee.”

“You…”

The young man was stunned. He reached to feel his pocket—all the “Dao” had already been lost just now. Where would he have any extra to redeem himself?

“I’m providing the venue here, and there are free cigarettes for you to smoke. Isn’t it reasonable to charge a bit of money?” Earth-Monkey said. “Otherwise, those who win ‘Dao’ want to leave, and those who lose ‘Dao’ also want to leave—how can I run this business?”

“You… wait a moment…” The young man was stunned. “How about this—give me a bit more time… I’ll go play something else for a while… and then bring ten ‘Dao’ in a bit…”

Earth-Monkey surveyed the venue and said, “Sure, mahjong, pai gow, dice, cards, slot machines, and pachinko are all yours to play. But… do you have capital?”

“I…”

The young man was clearly panicking. He turned around to look at the onlookers, then grabbed Chen Junnan’s arm.

“Big brother… can you lend me ten ‘Dao’ to buy my life?”

His voice was trembling—he looked truly desperate.

“Sorry, this young master doesn’t have any either. I’m so poor I only have my underwear left.” Chen Junnan smiled awkwardly.

“Big brother!” He reached out to grab Qiao Jiajin again, but Qiao Jiajin was also dirt poor.

“Damn, I’m so poor I only have my undershirt left…” Qiao Jiajin also smiled awkwardly.

He had seen too many people like this in casinos. When they had lost everything, they would ask the people around them for help, naively thinking someone would extend a helping hand at this moment and generously take out their money, which would be returned after they won big.

But how could a gambler’s words be trusted? If they really had the ability to win big, how could they have been utterly defeated?

Return? What would he use to return it with?

After asking around a full circle without anyone lending him “Dao,” the young man’s expression was extremely panicked. He quickly changed his tune. “Two! Just give me two! I’ll go play at another table right now and return the two to you shortly!”

But everyone present still treated him coldly. Was it really such a rare situation in the “Land of the End” for a stranger to die because they lost all their “Dao”?

The number of people dying in this place increased every day, and today there were especially many.

Everyone covered their pockets well and avoided the young man’s gaze.

“Damn it!” The young man cursed loudly. “One! Can someone lend me one?! With just one I can make it all back!”

At this moment, Earth-Monkey also slowly stood up and pulled out a pair of dirty gloves from his pocket. “Dear customers, please make way. The small shop has after-sales service to handle. As the saying goes, red-hot prosperity—seeing blood brings wealth.”

Seeing the situation was bad, the young man turned to run. Earth-Monkey took a big stride, his fat body directly soaring into the air as he flew toward the young man.

Trying to flee with one’s mortal body before an “Earth-level” was truly too laughable. Before the young man could run three steps, Earth-Monkey had already stepped on his shoulder. Then, standing on his shoulder and crouching down, he reached out and lightly tapped the young man’s skull.

The next second, the young man’s eyeballs instantly turned blood-red. His hands and feet twitched for a while, then he lay straight down without any movement—clearly he couldn’t survive.

“Hey.” Earth-Monkey flipped down and chuckled lightly. “Looks like my killing methods have improved recently—I can already do it without seeing blood.”

The crowd before them showed no obvious change in expression upon seeing the “Earth-level” start killing, since they had already seen the “Heavenly-level” kill countless people today.

“Hey, everyone, don’t mind it.” Earth-Monkey waved his hand. “No blood was spilled, but wealth can still be made. Everyone comes to my casino to relax and rest—don’t let these small interludes affect you.”
