Chapter 1623: Chapter 1619: All In (Second Update)
In just a few short years, casinos claiming to be under the name of the Divine Temple have blossomed throughout the city.
Though these deities were previously quite hypocritical, they could at least maintain a semblance of dignity.
But once they arrived here, even the last pretense was completely torn apart.
All the deities became intoxicated, heedless in their revelry.
And as the ruler of all, the Light Divine King turned a blind eye to this phenomenon, completely ignoring it.
Under such indulgence, the situation grew increasingly rampant, eventually becoming what it is now.
This Grand Light Casino can be called the largest casino in the city, its layout incredibly luxurious, with a spacious hall filled with various gambling equipment.
The Divine Guards and many low-level deities gamble here with great enjoyment.
If you weren’t informed otherwise, at first glance you might think you had returned to a gambling city on Earth.
Except those sitting around the gambling tables are no longer humans but deities.
This near-magical scene left Luo Lanting somewhat stunned.
Though she hails from the Lost Paradise, she had never seen such sights, and couldn’t help but ask softly, "Sir... this...?"
Xue An smiled slightly, "Surprised?"
Luo Lanting nodded, "A bit!"
Then, somewhat unnaturally, she glanced around, lowered her voice, and asked, "Moreover, I really don’t understand why we must come here first?"
"Don’t worry, you’ll understand why shortly!"
With that said, Xue An stepped toward the nearest gambling table, casually saying, "Since we’re here, let’s play a few rounds first!"
Here’s a simple introduction: Although this casino is very similar to those on Earth, it has significant differences in many aspects.
The main difference is these gambling tools.
The gambling tools in the Light Casino are special artifacts imbued with Divine Power.
After all, casinos on Earth cater to ordinary people, whereas here they gather deities!
If special gambling tools aren’t used, then the gambling loses its meaning.
For example, the table where Xue An is currently seated looks very much like roulette on Earth, but its structure is actually thousands of times more complex, with unique Divine Sense shields to prevent cheating through cultivation level or Divine Sense.
Also, because this betting style is exhilarating and uncertain, it attracts many low-level deities and Divine Guards who linger here.
When this unfamiliar face of Xue An appeared amongst the crowd, it naturally caught the attention of many.
But as everyone was engrossed in their gambling passions, they gave just a glance and didn’t care further.
After all, whoever can appear here mustn’t be an outsider.
Xue An first watched quietly for a while until a new round was about to begin.
With a casual wave, a crystal stone fell into a designated region.
The crystal stone emitted a gentle halo, a high-grade Light Crystal Stone.
Seeing this scene, many people looked at Xue An with bewilderment.
Yet no one spoke up.
Soon.
The roulette wheel slowly started, and everyone’s emotions fluctuated with its rotation.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
These shouts came one after another, incredibly noisy.
Only Xue An stood quietly amidst the crowd, his expression as calm as water, showing no emotion.
Finally.
The roulette slowly came to a pause, and the pointer pointed to a number.
Those who bet correctly were jubilant, while those who did not were unsatisfied.
Naturally, Xue An had bet correctly.
Thus, one crystal stone turned into ten.
Beside him, a few people looked at Xue An with envy, not understanding why this newly arrived youth was so lucky.
Xue An didn’t speak, didn’t even blink, and directly tossed the ten crystal stones out again, betting on a number.
This stirred up many curious glances.
A middle-aged man standing behind the gambling table also scrutinized Xue An with sharp eyes.
Upon seeing that it was merely an ordinary youth, he withdrew his gaze and then signaled his subordinate to proceed.
The roulette continued.
This time, the shouting was even louder.
It was as if people wanted to vent all their dissatisfaction.
But in the end, the roulette still slowly stopped before the number.
Boom!
The entire place uproariously erupted, as many eyes turned to Xue An.
Because this time, Xue An hit the mark again.
With this, ten crystal stones turned into a hundred.
This was already considered a significant fortune.
Many looked at Xue An with envy, puzzled over where this white-clad youth came from, wondering why his luck was so good.
The middle-aged man was also slightly astounded, then stared deeply at Xue An.
Xue An still remained expressionless; when a hundred crystal stones were delivered before him, he didn’t glance at them, casually tossing them out again.
The atmosphere turned silent.
If Xue An had only attracted a small amount of attention before, now he had become the focal point for everyone.
After all, such a grand stake was rare in this hall.
The attendant responsible for starting the roulette glanced hesitantly at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man pondered momentarily, then nodded.
The roulette started once more.
This time the shouting was much quieter.
Everyone watched with full concentration, eager to know the final result.
This time the roulette seemed to turn longer than before, but ultimately it stopped again.
When the pointer completely stopped, the field erupted in an uproar.
"By the Divine King, he won again!"
"This means a thousand crystal stones, which is a substantial fortune!"
"Wow, who is this guy? How can he be so lucky?"
Amidst these discussions, the middle-aged man’s face turned unpleasant.
One thousand crystal stones indeed amounted to a sizable sum, but not enough to faze him.
The critical point was this white-clad youth winning from one to a thousand crystal stones in less than the time of a single incense stick.
Three rounds, a hundred percent win rate, in roulette gambling.
This was somewhat incredible.
So he continued to glare intently at Xue An, trying to recall information about him from his mind.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
At this time.
A thousand crystal stones were already transferred to Xue An, piled into a small mound in front of him.
Xue An looked at these dazzling crystal stones, lightly brushed his fingers across them, and revealed an amused expression in his eyes.
Then, he assembled his hands and pushed all thousand crystal stones forward into a numbered area.
The entire hall fell silent immediately.
Many opened their mouths wide, unable to believe what they were seeing.
That was a thousand crystal stones!
Just bet it all in one go?
The middle-aged man was startled, then glowered at Xue An.
"Friend, are you gambling that fiercely?"
Xue An smiled slightly, "Fierce? I don’t think so!"
