Chapter 1572 - 1554:
The casino was very simple, just a few large cloaks used to construct tents, with many simplistic tables inside.
When Chu Ge and the others arrived, many people were already gathered around the tables, and as they approached the entrance, they heard the buzzing noise inside.
Feng Luo dashed to the entrance, almost running inside. She excitedly weaved back and forth between the tables, seemingly searching for a good spot.
Chu Ge silently followed behind them, observing that the gambling stone scene here seemed just like the one in their dimension.
Little Shunzi looked around, curiously asking, "Mr. Chu, everyone here is really wearing coarse cloth, there’s not a single person in luxurious attire."
Chu Ge noticed this too, nodded, smiled, and said, "It’s fine, no matter who comes, we just need to enjoy ourselves."
Little Shunzi nodded, "That’s right, we just need to have fun."
As they were speaking, Feng Luo had already found a table and joined in.
Chu Ge walked to her location, quietly observing from one side.
"I’ll choose this one!"
Feng Luo meticulously selected from the stones, spending quite a while before holding a large one.
As she picked it up, Chu Ge used Spiritual Energy to probe it. Although there was Spirit Jade inside, it wasn’t good Spirit Jade.
His gaze landed on the table, taking careful notice.
"Hey!" Suddenly, a chubby man opposite Chu Ge shouted at him, "Do you want to bet?"
Just as Chu Ge was about to respond, the man spoke again, but his words were quite rude, "If you’re not betting, move back! Don’t occupy the space here!"
The man rudely yelled at Chu Ge.
Feng Luo came forward, slamming her palm on the table, "Is he standing here bothering you? What the hell are you ranting about here? If you want to bet, hurry up and choose! If not, then scram!"
Chu Ge didn’t expect Feng Luo to speak up for him, and he felt that when Feng Luo was fierce, it was even more intimidating than him.
That man was about to scold and mock some more, but when his gaze landed on Feng Luo, especially seeing her pocket, he gulped and immediately backed down.
"I’ll bet, I’ll bet..."
Chu Ge noticed that the stone the man casually picked was much better than the one in Feng Luo’s hand. With a subtle movement of his hand, a trace of Spiritual Energy spread from his palm, and under Chu Ge’s subtle manipulation, the stone in the man’s hand turned into waste stone.
Naturally, the result was as expected—Feng Luo won.
Feng Luo almost jumped up with excitement, "Yay! I finally won! God finally opened his eyes! Let me win once! So rare!"
"..." Chu Ge looked at Feng Luo speechlessly, hearing what she said, did it mean she had never won before?
It seemed the little favor he just did was the right call.
After her excitement, Feng Luo looked at Chu Ge, curiously asking, "Do you want to give it a try?"
Chu Ge looked at the stones, truthfully, he did feel a bit eager. Speaking of gambling stones, he was somewhat nostalgic about his Gambling Stone Field.
"What are you daydreaming about? Are you joining or not? If you don’t come, I’ll continue!"
Feng Luo rolled up her sleeves, thinking that winning this time meant her luck was finally here, and she should continue with efforts to maintain the streak!
Chu Ge saw Feng Luo’s passionate look and didn’t have the heart to burst her bubble, so he gently nodded, "I’ll have a go."
Feng Luo pursed her lips, a bit regretful; she was just joking with Chu Ge, not expecting him to take it seriously.
She gave Chu Ge a resentful look, but Chu Ge seemed to not notice, walking directly in front of Feng Luo, ignoring her pitiful look.
Chu Ge’s gaze swept casually back and forth over the stones, not focusing on them at all. Feng Luo saw this and felt even more frustrated.
She whispered in Chu Ge’s ear, "I say, Chu Ge, can you really do it? If you can’t gamble, let me do it. Do you know, if you lose, the cost is very high."
Chu Ge glanced at her, "Cost? What cost?"
"Of course, the cost of losing a bet?"
Every time Feng Luo thought of her miserable history, her heart ached, too pathetic.
Chu Ge wanted to ask what the cost was, but then he heard a voice from the opposite side, "What are you two murmuring about? Are you gonna bet or not? If not, quickly switch people!"
Feng Luo hurriedly raised her hand, "Bet, bet, bet."
Saying that, she made a move to pull Chu Ge away, but was stopped by Chu Ge, "I said, this round is mine."
"..."
Feng Luo looked at him speechlessly, if looks could kill, Chu Ge would have been killed by her gaze thousands of times by now.
Chu Ge had already tested with Spiritual Energy earlier, and while there were jades in these stones, their quality was not top-notch.
This result left him a bit disappointed because even when he was in the Early Innate stage, he used only top-quality jade, and such low-end jade was of no use.
After probing, Chu Ge picked the smallest stone from them, which, despite its ugly shape, contained the best-quality jade among them.
Just as he picked it up, a hand quickly snatched it from him, "Do you even know how to choose? When gambling stones, you need to pick large ones!"
Feng Luo said to Chu Ge, believing herself to be very experienced.
Chu Ge was unimpressed.
"Didn’t you just pick the largest one just now and won?"
Chu Ge smiled, "What about all the times you lost before?"
Feng Luo was speechless when she heard that, "Hit without hitting the face, don’t reveal others’ shortcomings, why bring it up?"
Chu Ge lightly coughed, "I, on the other hand, feel that the one I had can win."
Feng Luo held onto the stone stubbornly.
"Are you trying to cheat? I’m warning you, once you’ve touched a stone, it’s the one you’ve chosen, no takebacks."
The person on the opposite side said again, "That’s the rule at the Gambling Stone Field. If you break it, don’t come again in the future."
Upon hearing that she couldn’t come in the future, Feng Luo quickly put down the stone. That wouldn’t do; she wanted to come often in the future.
Anyway, the loss would be on Chu Ge, it had nothing to do with her, so she wasn’t panicked at all.
Thinking this, Feng Luo felt a bit better, "Since you’ve chosen this one, this one it is."
Chu Ge saw her change her mind in a second, his lips twitching slightly, he took the stone back, "This is the one I chose."
The person across was a chubby man appearing about thirty years old, he looked at Chu Ge’s chosen stone, only the size of a fist, and couldn’t help but mock, "Clearly you’re an outsider, this time you’re gonna lose for sure!"
