novelEvan D. Sherden, Robs the City. (4)
| ← Ch.228 | Ch.230 → |
Set equipment referred to equipment that had no previous effect when worn on its own. Of course, it was very difficult to get set equipment in the game as it was all made up of artifacts.
'Especially in this world where game information is not organized on the bulletin board, it is even more difficult to dress up in a set. '
However, Evan had been from time to time since he secured his financial resources, and one of them was the 'Golden King' equipment.
A total of four artifacts, including gold earrings, a gold necklace, a golden ring, and finally a golden bracelet, each of them had the power to increase luck greatly, and if you wore all four of them, your luck would rise by a large margin. It happened only once a day, but you could invoke the unique skills included in the equipment.
The skill's name was the 'Golden Dice'. It was a skill that increased your luck five times for 30 minutes. As you might have noticed, perverted poisons trying to clear the Yo-Ma Great War Series by believing in the high probability of avoidance and fatal blow by making an all-in of the status' luck were interested in this and began research.
"I found another unexpected bug in the process..."
You may have to admit it at this point. The Yo-Ma Great War Series was called the perfect game, but actually, there were quite a few bugs! No, the fact that this game was more popular was because of its bugs!
"Eloa, the bugs lead to a gap that goes against the logic of the world."
"Master Evan knows a lot of funny things."
Skills included in the original set equipment would be discontinued immediately if one of the equipment included in the set was removed during activation. The same was true of the Golden Dice, the unique skill included in the Golden King's equipment.
'But the problem is, I don't know how, but if you cancel the skill by taking it off, you could use it again when you put it back on later! Even though it's a skill that's limited to once a day!'
"So how it ended up being modified was that even if some of the equipment was released while being used, the skill wouldn't be released. It's not funny for the poison."
For one's information, the rebels in his previous life also got the equipment, not for luck, but just for the thought that wearing it would reduce Evan's chances of dying a little.
However, the experiment found that Evan's death had nothing to do with his lucky status, so it didn't make a difference. Of course, Evan could come to such a gambling house on his luck because of that experience.
"Then does that mean you won't need our powers?"
"Yes, everyone just needs to relax. I asked Eloa to come with me because I wanted to confirm something. The treasure of the family."
"Ah...."
Evan had heard the conversation with Belois, so he had a rough guess, but it felt strange to hear it with his mouth. She bowed her head politely to Evan.
"Thanks for telling me you'll get the treasure back."
"I'm not going to end it with words, so wait."
Evan first went to the Exchange and exchanged gold for casino chips. He only slightly changed chips worth 5, 000 gold coins because he thought they could be doubled anyway, but somehow, that alone drew astonishment from the people around.
"...Instead of exchanging chips for money like this, can't you just get a prize right away, Master?"
"That's not only boring but also unaffordable. There are some places where you can only win or lose games, so you have to play games anyway."
Evan tried to hand out some of the chips to Belois and Arisha, but they didn't really seem to enjoy the games.
"It'll be a lot more fun to watch Evan play."
"We will accompany you."
"Yes, then let's start right away."
This was new, but Evan's party had already attracted considerable attention within the casino at this point. Even if they were to cover their face with a mask, they couldn't cover up all the beauty and elegance.
And the additional member, Eloa, was also more interesting because she was not a character who lacked in this department.
If they hadn't had clover badges, they would have been crowded with people who approached them, not just looking from afar.
"Would you like a drink?"
"Oh, well, I'd be happy to..."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Master Evan."
Evan, who tried to take the champagne glass naturally from the bunny girl wearing a rabbit ear headband, was quietly restrained.
Casinos were willing to offer alcoholic beverages as much as it became easier for customers to get drunk, and unfortunately, everyone around them was trying to stop Evan from drinking.
It was such a relief that he was able to bet with a clear mind!
"Well, let's start with this."
"Oh, you're wonderful guests. First time in the Rabbit House?"
"Yes, it's my first time. This looked the easiest."
Evan challenged the game called Rabbit Nine, which had the same basic rules as the Earth's Baccarat, but with a different name and detailed betting rules.
Simply put, players and bankers receive two or more cards from dealers, and the sum of the numbers is nine, or the person close to it wins, and gamers take twice as much money as the players or bankers bet.
It was a game famous enough to be called the king of casinos, which meant that gamers were very disadvantaged and that casinos were suitable for attracting money.
"Oh, no, Master Evan. Not this one. It looks easy, but it's not."
"Yes, I think I know where Eloa lost her money."
Eloa began to tremble as soon as she saw the face of the female dealer welcoming them at the Rabbit Nine table.
It was traumatic for Eloa to shake her head and look at the people around the table. There were quite a few people. Fortunately, after the game they just played, the dealer was arranging the cards. She was a dealer dressed as a bunny girl with a rabbit ear headband.
"Would you like to make a small bet, Master?"
Evan's dignity didn't disappear even if he wore a full body with vulgar accessories. Moreover, the dealer roughly grasped his identity, from seeing the women who were with him and even the escort driver.
"Yes, I'll try."
Evan clung to the table, pretending to be playing as an innocent prince. As Arisha and Belois clung together, the eyes of the people nearby turned to him.
Everyone, except the dealer, felt the same way. 'I want to make this annoying little boy lose his money somehow!'
"First of all, just one chip."
"What...??"
"Just one? You're a rich man."
Evan's chip was a Black chip. It was the highest unit of chips handled by the casino, valued at 100 gold coins.
A few more people flocked to the table where a new challenger had appeared. There were also some women trying to talk to Evan, but Dain blocked them. In the meantime, Evan managed to stake a black chip on the player's victory.
"Then, I'll start the game."
The person who bet the most was not Evan, but another guest. The banker flipped the card with the hope that Evan would somehow lose his money...
'That goddamn kid got it!'
'Oh, shit!'
The result was the player's victory. Of course, the dealer had intended this. The first game was because the winning side was more likely to heat up. It was a trick.
However, even the guests who knew the basics were sincerely lamenting Evan's winning. Even the guests who hung on the player's side were tongue-tied!
'This is fun!'
'Hoo-hoo, isn't it?'
One chip left and returned as two. The pleasure of the moment was unforgettable. Looking into Evan's sparkling eyes, the dealer was convinced that he had successfully caught another pushover today.
"I'll bet on the banker next time!"
"You're in a hurry. It's a long night. Take your time."
"Hey, Master. Betting should be done quietly."
The game board went around a few more times. Evan lost or won a few light chips, which in general led to quite a few chips more than the original.
Simply put, the momentum was in the dealer's hands.
At least, the dealer thought so.
"Now, let's go a little bigger, five on the player side!"
"It's coming out big!"
"Okay, kid, let's see who wins!"
At this point, all the other guests who had already flocked to the table were in sync to bring Evan down somehow, but the dealer also turned the cards around, thinking it would be good to show a bit of bitterness at this point.
"Aja!"
"...Huh?"
However, Evan won. Unable to understand what just happened, the dealer blinked. Did that mean that she had made a mistake?
"Okay, next, all ten chips you just picked up is a tie!"
"Completely insane!"
"Tie!? This little boy is so unafraid of the world!"
Tie, i. e. , a draw. Naturally, the odds which were much lower than either side wins, but the dividends were ridiculously high. That was ten times as much!
If Evan was hit again, the casino would have to give him 90 black chips, or 9, 000 gold coins. It may not be as big as the casino's day-to-day sales, but they couldn't afford to pay that much!
"No, it's time for this kid to be wrong."
"Haha, I'm looking forward to the moment you lose your money and cry."
"I could lend you some money if you'd let me hold the hand of the lady you accompanied, Master."
While low-talks were going on here and there, Evan and his party watched the dealer pick up the card without being too serious.
The dealer was under pressure, but she turned the card around, making sure she would never make a mistake this time, activating her skills as much as possible......The result was a tie as if it were obvious.
"Well..."
"I won again."
Evan smiled naively. Everyone felt enraptured by the smile.
"If I do more at this table, you'll be in trouble, right?"
"Yes? Oh, well, that's..."
"Then I'll go somewhere else. It's not fun because the maximum amount of betting is too small here."
"Ha, hahaha...."
Evan, who winked at the lost dealer and pocketed the chip without forgiveness, went through several more tables to test his increased luck.
Already, the principal amount was fivefold, and at this point, he was a key figure in the casino. However, there was no justification for stopping him.
"Customer, I'd like to take you to the special room."
"Oh, there was something like that?"
There was only a way to push him into a more vicious battlefield—a special room for guests with different play units.
The participants were selected to be supervised by skilled dealers. More than anything else, there was a hidden stage in the past where there was a rumor that a young Elf woman had been offered as a product. So the hidden stage sounded like there was illegal activity going on.
"Then, of course, we should go! Can I play with this sum?"
"That's enough. We also have a game for betting on chips, so please don't decline."
Once pushed in there, Evan was confident that he could completely strip the guest off.
What kind of vote would this boy make when that time comes? The dealer in a bunny-girl costume led him while holding his arms.
She thought when Evan, with such a dignified attitude, fell apart, she'd take care of him, and he'd fall for her very quickly.....
"How dare you..."
"No violence, Lua."
"No magic, either, Belois."
".... Oh my, I made a mistake."
Evan waved the dealer to loosen her arms and take the lead, then winked at the group to follow. No one knew in that casino that Evan was waiting to enter the hidden stage.
