After confirming Firis couldn’t undertake the responsibility, Irina could only let her be the follower. She led her into the first casino.
In the boisterous casino, gamblers of all the different species were gathered at the tables. Chaos City’s unique environment allowed the casinos here to have all kinds of gambling methods. After many years of improvement, the games became increasingly sophisticated and interesting. The casinos were crowded almost every day.
“Princess, is this the casino? It feels scary.” Firis followed after Irina closely as she stared at those gamblers who were shouting loudly with flushed faces and scary expressions.
“They’re just a bunch of useless gamblers. What’s there to be afraid of? They are no fiercer than the rabbits that bite in the Wind Forest after they leave the gambling table.” Irina chuckled casually.
“When did the rabbits in the Wind Forest ever bite?” Firis asked with surprise.
“When they’re in a panic,” Irina calmly replied, and then walked straight to the casino’s counter. She slammed her hand on the counter, and said to the demon bouncer, “I’m here to get my winnings.”
The demon who was snoozing was rudely awakened by this loud slam. He looked over angrily, and was taken aback when his gaze landed on Irina. Then, his eyes slowly brightened. What a beautiful elf. He had never seen such a beautiful elf in Chaos City before, so he couldn’t help staring in a daze.
“Get my winnings,” Irina repeated in a cold voice.
It was then that the demon regained his wits. He didn’t expect such a beautiful elf would come to gamble at the gambling den, and she even won. He wondered how many copper coins she wanted. He laughed before picking up that betting coupon to have a closer look, and then gaped.
After counting the number of zeros after the ‘three’ twice, and confirming that it was truly 300,000,000 copper coins, that demon looked at Irina again and blinked. He immediately got up with that betting coupon, pushed open the door behind him, and ran in. He shouted as he ran, “Boss, that person who bet the 30,000,000 is here!”
“Princess, why is he afraid of you?” Firis asked perplexedly as she watched the door close slowly.
“He’s not afraid of me. They’re afraid of losing money. Their hearts are aching.” Irina smiled. Her gaze flicked over at the table that was playing grand hazard, and she glanced at that sexy croupier that was shaking the dice. She took a Buffett Bank banknote that had a value of 1,000,000 copper coins, and passed to Firis as she said, “Go and place this banknote on the ’18 point’ position on that table.”
“I…” Firis received the banknote with both hands. She looked at that table full of people, and looked at Irina, who looked persistent, again before making herself go over, and slammed that banknote heavily on the “18 point” zone.
“Huh?”
The croupier who was about to remove the dice cup’s cover was taken by surprise.
The expectant gamblers were stunned too, and their gazes landed on Firis.
What was this weak and tiny elven maiden trying to do? Making trouble?
“S-sorry. There are too many people, so I accidentally used too much strength.” Firis panicked as she was stared at by so many people. She retrieved her hand apologetically, and revealed that lonely banknote that she slammed onto the “18 point” zone.
“1,000,000 copper coins!!!”
A commotion erupted immediately.
Although it wasn’t rare for some high-rollers in this casino to toss out a 1,000,000 bet, a girl like her actually dared to bet 1,000,000 on the “18 point” which had the lowest bet probability. Even the seasoned gamblers had never seen a stunt like this.
The croupier even subconsciously asked, “Did your hand slip?”
“18 points” did happen before. However, the dice in the casino were specially made, and the number of times that “18 point” would occur every single day was very limited.
After all, the winnings of the 18 points were twentyfold of the bet. They had to prevent some gamblers from persistently betting on the 18 points as that wasn’t a good deal for the casino.
“N-no, I do want to bet on this.” Firis quickly shook her head. She had no idea why the princess wanted her to bet on this, nor what it meant, but if the princess said so, then it had to be it. After seeing everyone’s weird expression, she continued to ask, “Can’t I bet on this?”
“Oh yes, you may. You’re the customer, naturally you can bet on anything you want,” the croupier quickly said. This was a 1,000,000 sales achievement, and was equivalent to the table’s entire morning’s earnings. Since such a rich and stupid little rabbit served herself up here, there was no reason for her to let her off.
All the gamblers were looking at Firis like she was an idiot. They had been playing here for the whole morning, and 18 points had not appeared even once.
1,000,000 was simply wasted like this. Everyone felt a little heartache for her.
“Alright. Please finalize your bets. We will reveal the points after a count of five!” The croupier gestured for everyone to take one step away from the gambling table, and removed their hands before she started counting, “Five, four…”
“12 points!”
“10 points!”
“Eight points!”
The gamblers were staring at the dice cup with glowing eyes. They began to shout out the points that they bet on loudly as if Lady Luck was going to favor them as long as they were loud enough.
Firis was so alarmed by them that she stood to the side and watched these crazy gamblers. She had no idea why they were so crazy.
“Two, one!” The croupier removed the dice cup, and everyone’s gazes landed on those three dice in the dice cup at the same time.
“Six, six, six. 18 points!!!”
After a moment of dead silence, the gamblers broke into a commotion as they stared at the three dice with six dots on the surface each with dumbfounded disbelief!
18 points was rare, but the crux was that that maiden had just bet 1,000,000 on it, which meant she had just won 20,000,000 copper coins for this round.
20,000,000 copper coins!
Many gamblers’ eyes had turned green.
They had been playing there for the entire morning, and many of them had tried to bet on 18 points. They didn’t expect a little girl who seemed to know nothing to actually get it.
The croupier’s expression was also a little unnatural. This was her first time seeing a customer betting 1,000,000 on 18 points for their first bet, and even winning it.
Firis was also staring at those three dice in a daze for a while. Seeing everyone’s exaggerated reactions, she gingerly asked, “If I counted correctly, I should have won this, right?”
“Yes. According to the rules, you will receive 20,000,000 copper coins,” that croupier said with a bitter smile. Her commission for this month should be completely gone. She continued, “Due to the huge amount, could you please follow me there to settle your winnings?”
“Oh.” Firis followed after the croupier innocently. After emerging from the crowd, she even turned to apologize to those gamblers with green eyes, “Sorry. I don’t know how to play this. You all can continue.”
“Pooh…” All the gamblers vomited blood together. How could she rub it into them like this?!
“A beautiful elf?” The demon casino boss took the betting coupon, and came out with five or six demon henchmen aggressively. He wanted to see who was the one who had won 60,000,000 copper coins from him. Don’t blame him for being ruthless if he discovered foul play was involved. He reached out to push open the door.
“Boss, this customer won the grand hazard’s 18 points, and we need to pay her 20,000,000 copper coins,” that croupier rapidly said when she saw the demon boss who just came out aggressively.
