*** ***

The demon was sitting at the table with a pale, tired face.

Rumors of the previous day’s gambling had spread throughout Sacheon, and people flocked to Yeongyangru today like a cloud. Sa Chae-yong was chewing his nails and Jang-i’s face was so ferocious that he could kill a person right away.

“I will eliminate that guy on the way.”

Sa Chae-yong whispered into Do-gwi’s ear. The voice itself, dripping with death, sent a chill down the demon’s spine.

“Despite yesterday’s crushing defeat, the reason you were saved today is because that unsatisfactory convert decided to extend the match today, and a large crowd heard about it. If that bastard fails to arrive at Yeongyangru today due to an ‘unfortunate accident,’ it will end in your victory. This Sa Chae-yong’s crumpled pride will never be resolved.”

The demon trembled at the announcement that his ears and wrists would be cut off at the end of tonight.

I hope that Ho Cheon-an is a hidden expert and that he can safely overcome the assassins prepared by Sa Chae-yong.

If Ho Cheon-an did not come, Dogwi would have died.

Of course, even if I come, if I don’t defeat Ho Cheon-an, I’m dead.

The entrance to Yeongyangru began to shake. It didn’t take long for the excitement to turn into cheers. The demon’s complexion brightened and Sa Chae-yong’s face distorted.

Daogwi felt hope when he saw Ho Cheon-an’s expression.

The look is literally like green onion kimchi that has lost all its essence. Did he break through the spray of water with force? Sweat was running down his neck, and his limbs seemed to have no strength at all.

Of course, Ho Cheon-an ran out of strength to escape and run away from the gaze of the Sacheon Rang-in, and the assassins resolved the issue with Huye Sipsi’s silver medal given by Yeo Il-ye. No matter how powerful Yeongyangru was, he could not incur the resentment of Huye Shishi.

Ho Cheon-an’s expression was obviously not good.

A skill can gain characteristics when it masters all skills in a series. In order to create variables when dealing with Yeo Il-ye, I went to great lengths to complete intuition training and acquire gambling characteristics, but the situation was all over.

The gamble was very one-sided.

Hocheon-an also spent several years at the gambling house. No, even if I didn’t play in a gambling house in the first place, I knew everything about the physiology of the gambling house through games. They are going to the extent of resorting to murder to kill Ho Cheon-an.

If the goblin doesn’t win all the money today, he will die. Even if you don’t die, it will be just as miserable as dying.

Ho Cheon-an was so sure.

Yesterday, all of Dogwi’s capabilities were discovered. If the demon does not know the eye, the formula holds true. If a demon attacks you first, avoid it at all costs. If Ho Cheon-an bets first, he bets only when he can see. It doesn’t matter if your intuition doesn’t ring a bell.

In order to win more than 120 taels of gold in one night, there is not enough time even if you assume you must place a full bet.

[Intuition mastery 100%]

[[Gambling Skill: Intuition] succeeded!]

[Achieve all [Gambling Skills]!]

[Your skill has reached a point where you can fool even the scales of heaven!]

[The attribute [Lucky] is created.]

“After.”

Although he wasn’t very happy that Yeo Il-ye’s case was over… Still, Ho Cheon-an clenched his fists in exhilarating pleasure.

After wandering around the world for a year, he became a second-class warrior and became a Sichuan ninja to manage his reputation.

After becoming a Sichuan Longin, Ho Cheon-an tried to surpass the realm in all kinds of ways. Since the game has become a reality, I thought that there would be a gap somewhere and that if I could find it, I would be able to get past the point.

It took me two years to admit that there was no such trick.

It’s been 5 years since then. No, a new resident named [Lucky] (new!) has finally moved into the status window that has not changed for 7 years. Since it was the result of five years of effort, Ho Cheon-an could not help but feel a thrilling sense of accomplishment.

‘Fuck you! It’s finally over!

Even if it is a feeling closer to liberation than a sense of accomplishment.

Ho Cheon-an looked at his stake. Geumja 128 nyang. In front of Dogwi, whose face has already turned black, there are 28 gold nyangs.

“Okay, let’s get it over with this one round.”

“…What do you mean?”

“I put all my money on the line. The person who bets all their money and wins gets to eat it all.”

Ho Cheon-an said while fiddling with the dice.

“How long will you be able to eat one or two pieces of gold at a time? Let’s walk like a man.”

The people around me were in an uproar. Ho Cheon-an’s proposal was actually an insane proposal. It was like betting 128 nyang to get 28 nyang of gold. However, there was also public opinion that that side was reasonable. If the goblin wakes up and robs the plate even now, the opportunity to eat the 28 nyang of gold is gone.

The demon’s eyes trembled mercilessly.

Dogwi knew better than anyone else the difference in capabilities between them. At this rate, it was no wonder that the remaining Geumjas would be robbed before the night was over.

however.

This opportunity for a reversal would never come again.

“I will.”

“Yes. So it would be fun to bet before throwing, right? I bet on a pair.”

The crowd surrounding the two was agitated. It might have been a risk to the demons, but to them, it would just be seen as an interesting spectacle that was reaching its climax.

Ho Cheon-an grinned and threw the dice.

Oh oh-!!

Taaang!!

To the demon, the shouts of the people around him sounded as if they were drowning in water. The only thing that the demon’s five senses follow is the trajectory drawn by the dice. The dice that bounced once from the mouth of the jar were immediately sucked into the jar.

Sibi, who helped with the proceedings, slowly lifted the jar. There was a serious dispute at Yeongyangru, but even the hands of the dispute were shaking from tension.

It was a plate worth 156 gold coins. A plate with just one gold coin is called a large plate, but it costs 156 gold coins!

Wow!!!

People cheered. The goblin, who had been closing his eyes because he did not have the courage to look at the dice, slowly opened them.

The die’s eye was 1.

…why?

People who were excited about the epic reversal came running and patted Do-gwi on the back and repeatedly offered congratulations, but Do-gwi did not take his eyes off Ho Cheon-an even though his upper body was shaking at their congratulations.

Hu Tianan just used a hand technique.

It was an advanced technique that a demon could not even understand, but Ho Cheon-an clearly used the technique.

A dexterity that has never been used in more than 100 rounds yesterday and today.

The dice that hit the rim of the jar and fell inside did not bounce even once inside the jar. It simply slid down the curved surface of the jar with exquisite dexterity.

Ho Cheon-an succeeded in creating the eyes of the Daesangsawi as intended, which no one thought was possible.

For some reason, even long after the dice had been thrown, the demon demon was convinced that the index finger remained upright, indicating that a 1 would come out even before the throw.

But why?

Why did that man give victory to the devil even by using his skills in the end?

Relief that I survived. The awe of witnessing dexterity that one could not even imagine. Even the fear that comes from Ho Cheon-an’s actions can only be described as incomprehensible.

Daogwi was so confused that there was nothing he could do other than look at Hu Cheon-an.

The crowd, engulfed in excitement, surrounded Do-gwi and repeatedly shouted his name, calling him the best gambler in the world. It was something he wanted to hear for the rest of his life, but at this moment, Hocheonan was more important to Daogwi than saying he was the best in the world. Do-gwi, who was just a criminal, could not get through the excited crowd, and in the midst of the confusion, warriors who were worried that Geum-ja would disappear ran out and took the excited crowd away from the gambling table.

When the commotion was resolved, Ho Cheon-an was nowhere to be found.

When I held on to Jang and asked him questions, I only heard that he quietly left Yeongyangru with an unknown expression on his face.

“You were lucky, you goblin.”

Sa Chae-yong grabbed the demon’s shoulder with a bug-bitten face.

“A promise is a promise. As promised, I will give you 100 gold nyang.”

Dogwi, who was about to run out to find Hocheonan, stopped when he heard the words “100 nyang of gold.” Suddenly, I burst into laughter. He, who prided himself on being the best gambler in the world, stopped short when he heard that there were 100 nyang of gold, but a man named Ho Cheon-an threw away 156 nyang of gold and left.

Dogwi himself felt the difference between Hocheonan and himself.

‘If I live in a gambling world… I’ll probably meet you someday. I will beat you then and ask you why you behaved like this today.’

That’s what the devil promised.

I will not stop for a moment until I catch up with Ho Cheon-an, who has shown enough skill to truly be called the best gambler in the world. And in that way, I will go beyond him and someday, when I meet him at the gambling table, I will defeat him and confidently ask him about what happened today.

of course

Ho Cheon-an was simply managing his reputation.
