I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1396 1400: Can't You Handle Losing?

"There's no way he can win again this time, right?"
"If he can roll another moon, I'll do a handstand and shit!"
"Unless his ancestral grave is burning, this one's definitely a loss."
"This one? The Gambling King losing this one? Absolutely impossible!"
Zhang Menglong was cheering on the sidelines, while Aubi was dominating the table; gradually, the Gambling King's confidence was crumbling.
That fat guy on the other side wasn't using any psychological tactics, just incredibly good luck. He even doubted that if he threw a hundred dice, there'd be 27 stars and 73 moons.
Faced with such a lucky monster, all his skills and psychological predictions were rendered useless. How the hell is anyone supposed to win this? Even if the God of Gamblers came, it wouldn't help!
In ten consecutive rounds, the Gambling King encountered his first Waterloo, failing to win a single round, while Aubi bet every amount he won. At the very least, this time his original stake doubled, and in several rounds, he doubled again by catching the moon. Just one round alone, where he caught three moons, and his stake multiplied eightfold.
In one session, he turned 5000 Time Coins into over 10 million Time Coins in less than half an hour. Such a rate of earning is akin to robbing a bank.
Of course, the Gambling King suspected Aubi might be cheating, but his bodyguard was a top-notch expert, and no one using Energy could escape his eyes. Besides, the casino ed no discrepancies in the game.
But is there really such luck in the world? Even the chosen one couldn't manage that!
"Thank you, Mr. Gambling King. Let's call it a day. You've already lost quite a bit. There's no need to continue." As the session ended, Aubi exuded an aura akin to the God of Gamblers.
"Sigh!" The Gambling King sighed. Even though he knew there was a problem, he couldn't pinpoint it or prove it against Aubi, which was also a testament to his skills. "Congratulations, young brother!"
"That Gambling King is quite dignified," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself. If it were the hotheads he'd encountered in the past, they would probably lose their minds by now, seeing their losses. Whether you cheated or not, if you took this much money from me, I'd have you killed.
But this Gambling King, he has the spirit of a gambler. He can afford to lose.
"Brother Zhang!" As soon as Aubi left the table, he transferred most of the Time Coins to Zhang Menglong, keeping only over a million Time Coins for himself.
"Why are you doing this? Didn't we agree on splitting it 50/50?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"No way, I was just there putting on a show and didn't really contribute. Taking half is really too much. I feel guilty holding these Time Coins myself; they ought to be yours. The remainder is still over a million Time Coins, more money than I've ever touched in my life!"
"Hahaha, in that case, I won't stand on ceremony," Zhang Menglong thought Aubi had a generous heart, not greedy and trustworthy, quite a decent gambler.
As he absorbed the tens of millions of Time Coins, Zhang Menglong immediately felt a qualitative change in the Energy within him. By now, he essentially possessed the strength of a Saint!
He estimated that if he could accumulate several hundred billion Time Coins, it would be enough to fully restore his powers.
"Brother Zhang, let's hit the other dice table a few more times," Aubi's gaze again fell on the dice table nearby.
Now with a million Time Coins, win one round and they would multiply by ten thousand, making it 10 billion; win again, and it would be 100 billion.
"Hold on for now," Zhang Menglong said, "This casino likely has significant backing. We just won a million Time Coins, which is a drop in the ocean for them, so we're not in trouble yet. But if we win too much, not 100 billion, but even 10 billion, do you think the casino will just sit back and watch? With what we have, three rounds could bankrupt them."
"True," Aubi thought more clearly. He'd gotten a bit carried away, but with their current abilities, they were not ready to take on this casino.
"Then we..."
"Of course, we go after the other gamblers' money. Once there's nothing left to earn here, we'll strike it big again," Zhang Menglong said with a sly grin. "If we're gonna play, let's do it all the way!"
"What should we play?" Aubi rubbed his hands. "Do I keep acting like the God of Gamblers?"
"Today, I'll teach you a new game, called Bullfighting!" Zhang Menglong explained the rules to Aubi. Five cards, the sum of three must be a multiple of 10. The sum of the remaining two cards gives the bull count; units 1-5 pay one time, units 6-9 pay two times, and a perfect ten pays three times!
If all five cards are face cards (representing 10), it's five times the payout!
"We'll be the bankers!"
The casino had designated free-play areas where gamblers could create their custom games. As long as they paid the casino a 1% service fee, they could win as much as they liked.
Gamblers loved this new form of gambling, and once they understood the rules, they flocked over in groups.
Gamblers generally preferred luck-based games over skill-based ones. They offered more thrills and eliminated the risk of being outmatched by someone more skilled. With enough courage and luck, even if you lost badly, there was always a chance for a comeback.
To avoid wasting time, Zhang Menglong set a minimum stake of 100,000 Time Coins, or 10 year coins, since not all gamblers in the casino were as wealthy as the Gambling King.
To attract more gamblers, Aubi also played a few rounds according to Zhang Menglong's 'pure luck' approach.
This guy's luck was truly bad, losing five consecutive rounds. No wonder he had been thrown out before; there was a reason for it.
In these rounds, each losing round cost thousands or even tens of thousands of Time Coins. At this rate of loss, even 1 million Time Coins wouldn't last an hour.
As word of this new game spread, more and more gamblers joined in. Although there were no playing cards at the casino, various dice could substitute for cards.
"Heads up, the chumps are here!" Zhang Menglong gave Aubi a look, and he immediately got the message. It was time to go on a rampage!
"Bull nine!"
"Three bulls!"
"Five face cards!"
...
With Zhang Menglong's 'jinxing' support, Aubi created chaos, but occasionally he'd lose a round. This warm-water frog-cooking strategy hooked the gamblers, and some even bet their entire possessions.
After an hour, Aubi had amassed over 20 million Time Coins, initially coming in just thousands or tens of thousands at a time. But as more players joined, he began earning tens of thousands in a single round!
This fast-paced gambling was even more intoxicating than playing with dice!
...
"Have you noticed? He absorbs that fat guy's losses every round, but that fat guy wins every time! It's when he predicts the fat guy will win that the fat guy loses." The people in the office had been monitoring Zhang Menglong and Aubi closely.
They were now almost certain that it was Zhang Menglong, the 'jinxer,' pulling tricks!
Though they were currently winning against other gamblers, even bringing in tens of thousands of Time Coins in brokerage fees for the casino...
But the casino feared people like him the most, and initial estimates suggested their funds had swelled over 30 million. With just one or two plays on the number 2000 dice machine, the casino could be bankrupted outright.
"No! We absolutely can't let them touch those machines!"
"Boss, what do we do now?"
"Send out a notice to shut down all free-play machines, citing mechanical errors. If they must earn, let them take it from other gamblers, not us!"
"Got it!"
"Attention all players, our casino's free machines are experiencing technical issues that don't affect player vs. player competitions. We ask for your understanding as we carry out repairs as quickly as possible."
"Damn it!" Zhang Menglong and Aubi also heard the announcement.
"You can't handle it, huh?"
