"Wait!"
Zhang nglong had just stepped into the casino when two bodyguards imdiately stopped him.
The two bodyguards were wearing sothing that looked a bit like football uniforms, and their aura almost resembled that of dium Life Forms. Gou Dan had inford Zhang nglong that the Life Energy within these two bodyguards exceeded 100,000 years!
Unless he used the power of the Super God Academy to forcibly break through the World's Force of this world, the strength Zhang nglong's current body could exert was only at the level of the True Martial Realm, and with one slap, these two bodyguards could smash his head.
"Isn't this a casino? Naturally, I'm here to gamble." Zhang nglong said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Gamble? You?" The two exchanged glances and burst into laughter. Their sunglasses weren't just for show; besides being stylish, their main function was to check whether those entering the casino had any money.
According to the feedback from the sunglasses, Zhang nglong's Life Energy was less than 10 units. In other words, in 10 units of ti, if he couldn't replenish his Ti Coins, he would kick the bucket. Such a person couldn't even be described as broke; even a random minor on the street would be worth much more than him.
Even if Zhang nglong converted all his life into Ti Coins, it would only amount to 9 Ti Coins—not even enough to skim a stone in this casino.
This was the city's largest and most luxurious casino. Here, even the simplest and most basic gas would probably require tens of thousands of Ti Coins. Zhang nglong didn't even qualify to enter.
"Do you have a rule here that people close to death can't enter?"
The two bodyguards were stunned for a mont. There was no such rule, but it was an unwritten rule. In fact, people like Zhang nglong, with only a few hours left to live, wouldn't co to a casino. They could earn so Ti Coins by doing odd jobs on the street, which would be much less risky than gambling.
"Though there's no such rule, you still can't enter. Get going, or we'll have to take action."
"Wait," Zhang nglong said, "Then tell , how much does it take to enter?"
"At least 10,000 Ti Coins."
[Dean, Ti Coins are the smallest unit. Above them are Sky Coins, roughly 40 Ti Coins, and the largest unit is Year Coins, about 10,000 Ti Coins equal 1 Year Coin.]
"Damn, looks like I'll need to find soone to pool so resources together." Zhang nglong didn't have much ti left, but as long as he could gather so capital, he was confident he could multiply it tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold in a short ti!
"Get lost!" At that mont, a figure suddenly rushed past Zhang nglong and slamd hard onto the ground.
It was a chubby guy who looked a bit dumbfounded. His nose was bruised, and his clothes were tattered, evidently just beaten up.
"What's going on here?" Zhang nglong curiously looked at the fat guy.
"What are you looking at? Never seen soone tossed out of a casino after losing everything?" The fat guy said with a discontent look at Zhang nglong.
"Pah! Just wait, next ti I co back, I'm going to win this whole damn casino!"
The fat guy stood up and staggered towards the street outside the casino.
[Dean, though this fat guy doesn't have any Ti Coins, he still has over 10 years of lifespan!]
"Oh?" Zhang nglong's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed forward, "Hey, buddy!"
"What do you want? Ca to laugh at ?" The fat guy said with hostility.
"No, I was just trying to get into the casino too, but I don't have a penny on , and they wouldn't let in."
"Oh?" The fat guy started to feel a bit of sympathy for Zhang nglong, "Damn, you have no money on you and only 9 hours left to live, yet you're still trying to gamble in a casino. You've got guts; I was the one who underestimated you earlier."
The fat guy thought he was already fearless, but he didn't expect Zhang nglong to be even more so; with such little ti left, he wasn't trying to find a way out and instead was trying to sneak into a casino to gamble.
"How about we team up?" Zhang nglong suggested, "We go gamble together, split the winnings 50-50, and I promise you'll win every hand!"
"You?" The fat guy sneered, "If you had that kind of skill, would you be in this situation?"
"It's a bit complicated, hard to explain," Zhang nglong said, "but I do have this skill."
"How can you prove it?"
Zhang nglong took out a coin, "I'll throw it into the air without any external ans, and guess which side it lands on. How about betting ten rounds?"
"Hahaha, you're really sothing."
"If I win all ten, you'll take to the casino."
"And if you lose?" the fat guy asked.
"You can set the terms."
"Deal!" The fat guy thought it over; if Zhang nglong really had this skill, he would beg him to take him to the casino for a turnaround.
But if it was a fake, he wouldn't be losing much. It would just waste a few minutes.
"Wait, if I say a result, it ans I'm betting against that result." Zhang nglong added.
"You're an odd one." The fat guy was a bit impatient, "I get it, go ahead."
"I bet on the side with the number," the fat guy said.
"The side with the number facing up," Zhang nglong echoed him.
Zhang nglong tossed the coin into the air without using any Energy to control it.
The coin spun twice in the sky and finally landed on the ground, the side with the number face down.
Zhang nglong had said the side with the number was facing up, so the opposite result was the side without the number facing up; he won this round.
"It's just a common probability, nothing special, again!"
"I bet the side with the number facing up!" The fat guy continued.
"The side with the number facing up," Zhang nglong said with a calm smile.
"How did I lose again?"
...
After nine rounds, the results were entirely opposite to what Zhang nglong had said, and the fat guy really started questioning reality.
"This ti, I bet on either the side with the number facing up or the side without the number facing up!" The fat guy gave Zhang nglong a challenging look, "Bro, you didn't say I had to bet on just one side, right?"
"Hmm, you didn't say," Zhang nglong chuckled, "then I'll bet the result will be either side facing up."
Zhang nglong tossed the coin again, letting it free fall. As the coin spun, a gust of wind blew by, and a falling leaf suddenly struck the coin, sohow nullifying its rotational montum, causing it to fall vertically towards the ground.
The coin bounced once and finally stood vertically on the ground.
It didn't end with either side facing up!
"This... This is absurd!"
If Zhang nglong won the first nine tis due to luck, then this tenth ti his luck would have to defy all odds.
But is such luck really possible?
"How did you do it?"
"This is hard to explain," Zhang nglong said, "but if I don't want sothing to happen, I just need to say it, understand 'Say and It Will Be Done'?"
