*** ***

“Um.”

I felt it as soon as I opened my eyes.

Today’s condition is the best.

Ah, I heard people need to get a good rest.

Today, I gave up training and went for a walk in the early morning air, then filled my stomach with some noodles and headed towards Cheonmajeon.

After completing the inspection by the now familiar guards of Cheonmajeon, I walked up the stairs leading to Cheonmajeon, and thought about the nine months I spent at Magyo.

For three months, I searched for martial arts books in Bigo and focused on Weiseoryeon and Bimu.

Now that I was slowly adjusting to the life of the Demonic Cult, Wi Ji-cheon continued to call me, and after that, a new schedule was added to take the brain tablet.

A meeting with Wiseoryeon that takes place on a weekly basis. In order to do that, I had to train regularly even on a regular basis, and at night I had to sign up for work at an underground gambling hall.

Today is the day that marks the end of that schedule.

As I take each step of the stairs, I reflect on each day.

I threw it away.

Throw away all thoughts that are not necessary for winning.

What kind of expression will Wi Ji-cheon make if he wins a match against me? Maybe they will burst into laughter and be happy.

Perhaps at that moment, the ominous feeling that surrounds Wijicheon will fade a little.

Let go of that sentiment.

As I was reflecting on each day, Wi Seo-ryeon’s face also came to mind.

Wei Seo-ryeon’s expression, which used to be dry and rough, has improved a lot.

Well, I feel like I’ve gone from being a ferocious crow that looks like it’s going to rip out my eyes at any moment to a crow dozing off with a full stomach in a nest overflowing with shiny things.

Wei Seo-ryeon, knowingly or unknowingly, expressed regret at the end of this match.

I guess it’s because I understand very well that whether or not I get the thunderbolt, I will once again become entangled in a bad relationship with Jeongcheol.

From Wei Seo-ryeon’s point of view, he may be hoping that I will be defeated and not be able to obtain the Leijeong.

If Jeong-cheol finds out about my current situation, it will be advantageous for him to use his position as a guest of Wiseo-ryeon to be protected.

If that happens, from Wiseoryeon’s perspective, the current situation will be able to be maintained for a while longer.

It didn’t start out well, but honestly, I’m grateful to Wei Seo-ryeon now.

Because they supported me in both martial arts and gambling aspects, both materially and spiritually.

Wi Seo-ryeon, knowingly or unknowingly, received a lot of consideration.

I put that fact out of my head too.

Now the image of the black cat bickering with Wei Seo-ryeon almost like friends also appeared in my head.

Black cat.

The black cat’s non-resonance level is still sluggish. Actually, just collecting all 10 martial arts is an amazing feat.

In the first place, I thought that combining ten martial arts into an appropriate form was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two.

Does the black cat himself know?

Heukmyo was satisfied with his life as a demonic cult.

What would it have been like if this place wasn’t a demonic religion?

Did the black cat really have no qualms about taking off its cotton hat and wandering around outside?

The black cat didn’t stop going outside even though I handed him the piece of money he won at the underground gambling hall.

It was proof that he was enjoying life in a demonic religion in his own way.

No, I have never seen a black cat roaming around so freely by itself, regardless of evidence or anything.

When talking to me, there were times when he mentioned Wei Seol-yeon and gossiped about him, but seeing him gamble with me every day makes me think he has accepted Wei Seo-ryeon deep down.

It’s not like you’re gambling for nothing.

Because the black cat wasn’t the type to just accept things it didn’t like.

This demonic religion may be one of the few places where black cats can live comfortably.

I even erased that thought from my head.

Jeonip, Ogyeong, Sakhwi, Cheonjung, Jiangsu, and Gongbok.

I erased the faces of the gamblers at the underground gambling hall I had been hanging out with for five months from my mind, leaving only their hands.

Step by step.

When I stepped on the last step, nothing was in my head except about winning.

Looks like I wasn’t the only one who ‘organized’ it.

Cheonmajeon was as quiet as a mouse. The prayers to support Cheonma. And it seems that even the reception guards, whose presence was faintly felt these days, have all left their posts.

I passed through the hallway and opened the door to Cheonmajeon.

In Cheonmajeon, I could see Cheonma already sitting at the gambling table waiting for me.

“Did you come.”

“Did you have a good night?”

I sat across from Cheonma.

Contains home appliances. And dice. glass. Goal loss.

The things I needed came into view.

“It’s the final match.”

“Yes.”

Cheonma and I looked at each other for a moment.

Since it is the last day, it might not be a bad idea to talk about various things.

But the two of us started gambling right away without saying a word.

The match of the day. Because it was both me and Wi Ji-cheon who sharpened themselves and brought their bodies and minds into perfect condition for the gamble of this moment.

I want to compete in the best conditions possible.

The two of us shared that feeling and started competing right away.

“Today’s match will be in three events. Yabawi, dice, and goal cards.”

“Yes.”

“You will compete with 300 home appliances per person, a total of 600 home appliances, and you can bet as many home appliances as you want on the event you want. For example, if you bet 50 on Yabawi and I bet 100, you will compete in Yabawi until one player runs out of appliances first and then move on to the next event. The items change, but the stakes accumulate. If you win, the money you won in the previous game and your stake will be added to the next round.”

“I understand.”

Cheonma laid out dice, glasses, and goal cards.

I distributed 100 items each to dice, handbags, and goal cards.

On the other hand, Cheonma distributed 125 dice, 125 to Yabawi, and 50 to golpae.

Looking at the distribution of Wijicheon, I thought it was a reasonable decision.

Goal loss gambling is the gambling that requires the most profound skill among all gambling. One mistake or choice has a lasting impact on the hand, so if the flow goes wrong, it is easy to stop it helplessly, and it is also difficult to reverse the flow.

For low-ranking players, losing a goal is a gamble that involves the most luck, but for high-ranking players, it is a gamble based on skill itself.

The rule set by Wi Ji-cheon is that the more stakes you place on a place where the odds of winning are slim, the more burden you feel when playing the next gambling item.

For example, let’s say I win the golpaepan against Wi Ji-cheon.

What if Wi Ji-cheon had honestly bet 100 on every hand like me and lost in the goal game?

A hundred basic home appliances were hung on the next board. 100 stakes preserved from previous editions. And 100 home appliances I picked up from Wi Ji-cheon.

My stake totals 300, so the next round will be 100 to 300.

To avoid such a situation, Wi Ji-cheon placed 50 appliances on the board with low odds of winning.

Since you bet 50 on the goal board, even if you lose, the next game will be 250 vs. 125. It is inevitable that you will be at a disadvantage once you have lost, but it is natural that a 1 to 2 ratio has a higher chance of winning than a 1 to 3 ratio.

If Heavenly Demon were given the authority to choose an event, he would start with the goal board.

That would be the best option to avoid losing the goal, which is the sport I am least confident about.

“Roll the dice and choose who goes first and what event.”

Wi Ji-cheon and I each rolled three dice, and the one with the higher sum was Wi Ji-cheon.

And Wi Ji-cheon made the same choice as I expected.

“I will start with the goal card.”

Wi Ji-cheon began to shuffle the cards. In fact, it is advantageous for the latter to score goals, but it has become an unspoken rule among us for six months that Wi Ji-cheon goes first.

There were two matches where people competed against each other’s luck.

There are 8 cards revealed. This is enough longevity to start a real fight.

Immediately, Wi Ji-cheon started using the technique.

Martial arts gambling.

widely. widely. Tatak. widely. Crack.

Wi Ji-cheon’s hand movements, mixing the cards with irregular beats, are dazzling. No, it’s more confusing than dazzling.

The use of energy that is separate from hand movements.

That alone makes it difficult to see Wi Ji-cheon’s martial arts gambling skills.

You can practice martial arts gambling.

This fact alone makes it very difficult to detect the opponent’s skills.

In addition to the variable of the operation of energy, variables that are only possible at the moment of operation of energy are added, so the changes are incomparably richer than regular gambling.

You can perform a double deception by pretending to use a normal skill and secretly use martial arts gambling techniques, or you can pretend to use martial arts gambling techniques to boost your energy and actually perform no skills at all.

The most vicious thing is that the higher the level of the person practicing martial arts gambling, the more difficult it is to notice the use of technique.

Since you cannot fully trust your senses, you have no choice but to continue to be under mental pressure.

Wi Ji-cheon continued to use the technique without hesitation.

Actually, the situation was a little different from what I expected.

Wi Ji-cheon bet on 50 home appliances. I thought the plan was designed so that if defeat got too serious, you could easily give up and move on.

However, Wi Ji-cheon was launching quite an onslaught from the start.

“I will hang 3 home appliances.”

“I will accept it.”

My first loss was 7.

The family tree that leads to multiples was not a very good hand in the owner’s goal card. Because the only thing that can be a mate of 7 is a multiple of 7.

Still, I received it.

I need to get as many cards as possible so I can make moves the next time I attack.

My last loss was 9. Wi Ji-cheon’s first loss was 6 and his second loss was 31.

My first hand was a number that had already been revealed, so there are a total of 11 numbers so far. Sufficient numbers were revealed to perform the technique, but the arrangement of the cards was not very good.

This was because out of the eight cards that were revealed throughout the entire game, six were arranged together.

It was Wi Ji-cheon’s defense.

The limit to how many cards could be removed from the goal card at one time was one card. The reason was also simple: unlike modern cards, the goal cards were quite thick. The goal cards used at gambling tables are made thin, but they are still several times thicker than a single Hwatu card.

That was the reason why the order of the goals could not be freely manipulated.

If you move two or three of those thick goal cards at a time, it will be noticeable right away.

They spread their skills, shuffled the cards, and each took the lead.

If I hadn’t been fooled by Wi Ji-cheon, Wi Ji-cheon’s first tile would have been 11, and his second tile would have had 26.

And my loss is confirmed to be 30.

I picked up the Seonpae that I had not yet peeled and moved it between my hands.

The first loss that I caught now was a goal loss that has never been revealed on the board yet.

A number I can unfold because I can place a bet. If the combination came up with a bad number, you could just die, but if it was okay, you could win.

The number I held was 21.

It was a number that was enough to win the game.

“I’ll bet two.”

“Take two and get one more.”

Receive “”

Wi Ji-cheon revealed his hand first. The numbers were 11 and 26. They were exactly the numbers I expected.

Did you bring this edition?

With that in mind, I checked the outcome.

….fifteen.

The loss, which was expected to be 30, was 15.

Wi Ji-cheon sweeps up the home appliances without a moment of hesitation as soon as the hand is revealed. Looking at Wi Ji-cheon’s calm attitude, I realized that I had misjudged.

Wi Ji-cheon admitted that he was at a disadvantage in that he set the stake for the goal card at 50 and thought it was a decision to end the game short.

Because that is a common sense decision.

But in reality it was quite the opposite.

Cheonma did not set the number of appliances to 50 to avoid competition.

Setting only 50 home appliances was an expression of confidence that I could catch myself on the goal board with just those home appliances.

widely. widely. Tatak. widely. Tatak.

With the same indifferent expression as always, Wi Ji-cheon shuffled his cards to the same beat as before.

I thought while looking at Wi Ji-cheon’s hand movements.

This match.

He said he took a big hit and started.

*** ***

Goal loss.

The key to determining the score among experts is how well one understands the composition of the hand.

In that sense, Wi Ji-cheon continued to have the upper hand against Ho Cheon-an.

Wi Ji-cheon could clearly see Ho Cheon-an’s true intentions while acting calm.

‘It must be embarrassing.’

Wi Ji-cheon objectively compared Ho Cheon-an’s gambling skills with his own. No matter how great Wijicheon was and how talented he was, it was difficult to surpass Hocheonan with only 6 months of effort.

However, at this moment, Wei Ji-tian had the upper hand over Hao Tian-an.

The reason was simple.

Because it was analyzed.

Wi Ji-cheon recalled the competition over the past six months.

Ho Cheon-an had to continue to show his gambling skills. And Wi Ji-cheon, who was able to hide his growth to his heart’s content.

It was inevitable that Ho Cheon-an’s methods would be exposed.

Crash.

Wi Ji-cheon follows Ho Cheon-an’s dazzling hand movements with his eyes. The dazzling sleight of hand and numerous techniques passed by the hand to the extent that even Wei Ji-cheon could not be sure that he was following the hand properly.

‘You are also an experienced person in the gambling world. There must have been countless times when their numbers were identified.’

widely.

After Ho Cheon-an’s shuffling, Wi Ji-cheon picked up the first tiles.

12.

Although the number is a bit low, it can be used in many genealogies.

“I’ll bet two.”

Wi Ji-cheon thought while fiddling with the number 12.

It’s just as expected.

“Take two and get two more.”

I will take “ and do two more.”

“Get one more.”

Wei Ji-cheon thought as he watched Hao Cheon-an picking up the spatula.

‘You are clearly an excellent gambler. ‘He definitely has enough skills to claim to be the best in the world.’

In this demonic religion, all the famous gamblers were invited to see their skills and skills, but there was no one who could compare to Ho Cheon-an.

Ho Cheon-an was clearly a person with gambling skills that could be considered the best in the world.

“Get two more.”

however.

‘You have never been on top.’

Having the best skills in the world and enduring the weight of the reputation of being the best in the world were two completely different things.

He who dominates becomes the target.

It becomes a goal for an unspecified number of people to surpass the person itself.

Reveal yourself and defeat those who are targeting you from the top.

That was the ordeal that had to be endured to be called the best in the world, and the weight that the ruler had to bear.

‘You claimed to be the best in the world in front of me for six months.’

Therefore, Wi Ji-cheon looked at Ho-cheon-an with Ho-cheon-an as his goal for six months.

I didn’t see the skills shown in one round or the judgment shown in one round.

I saw the person named Ho Cheon-an himself.

“Get two more.”

This board was a mass of variables.

It was true that Wi Ji-cheon knew the number and location of more goal cards, but he did not yet have an absolute advantage.

In addition, Hocheonan’s technique, which he had just used with all his might, was unusual, so there was a high possibility that it would be different from the composition of the hand he knew.

Even if you think of techniques that could have been deceived and develop the number of cases, you cannot guarantee that either side will have a high chance of winning.

Placing a lot of money on this game itself was dangerous.

However, that is why Wi Ji-cheon accepted this match.

‘You have a tendency to enjoy these kinds of battles.’

The Hocheonan that Wi Jicheon saw was always like that. If you look away even for a moment, it will drag you into an area where it wouldn’t be strange if you fell.

It was still like that now.

“Get four more.”

Ho Cheon-an raised the stake to fifteen without hesitation.

A Baekcheokgandu board with a big stake at stake.

He pushes Wijicheon without hesitation as if it were his territory.

And Wi Ji-cheon goes one step further to the extreme than Ho Cheon-an, who pushes his back.

“Get five more.”

Ho Cheon-an, who had been betting money without hesitation, finally stopped. Wi Ji-cheon looked at Ho Cheon-an and thought.

‘You are not the only one who is accustomed to walking on a blade.’

Are you saying that Baekcheokgandu is Hocheonanman’s territory?

The peak of the Demonic Cult.

Until he became Cheonma, Wijicheon literally lived by stepping on blades in the forest of Dosan Geomrim.

Wi Ji-cheon was also familiar with areas that criminals would never set foot in in their lives.

“…good.”

Ho Cheon-an and Wi Ji-cheon picked up their respective cards and revealed their cards.

Hocheonan’s card. Lesson 7 and 2. Total 9 points.

Wijicheon’s card. 5 and 6. Total 11 points.

If there was someone here who could understand the exchange of numbers between the two, it would have been a situation in which anyone could not help but be amazed.

7 or 5 were almost the lowest in terms of goal loss, and in a situation where such a loss was picked up, it was a situation where it could be predicted that a low number would come in as a subsequent loss.

The combination of the two hands is a low combination that is less than 16, which can be said to be the midpoint of the goal loss.

The two people must have been surprised at how they could play such a big game with such low cards and clicked their tongues at the two people’s distribution.

However, since there were no audiences here, instead of such wonder, what filled Cheonmajeon was heavy silence.

Churrr.

The only thing that breaks the silence is the noise of Wijicheon pulling the appliance towards himself.

Wi Ji-cheon thought as he organized his home appliances with leisurely hands.

‘Now, how will you get out?’

Wi Ji-cheon was ahead in terms of information about the bundle of goal cards. Hocheonan tried to walk a tightrope to overcome such a situation, but that too failed.

So what will Ho Cheon-an do now?

Hocheonan’s next move was simple.

“I’ll bet everything.”

Hocheonan, where all 61 home appliances are packed.

It was a transfer.
