This world is a very unique world. It's not divided into separate universes like Universe Seven where Earth is located. It's like an infinitely large egg, with them standing on the inside of the eggshell, and a massive star-like body at the center providing warmth and light to the world.
Their current ans of transportation resembles an enlarged aircraft carrier, and the journey to their destination this ti will take about three or four days, with the destination being called the "Capital of the Hand of God."
The Capital of the Hand of God is a city more than ten tis larger than the city where Zhang nglong currently resides. The main industry here is gambling, and the city is controlled by the five board mbers of the Hand of God Association.
This journey was extrely tedious. Zhang nglong and Aubi saw no need to study gambling tricks and cheating skills since they didn't know them anyway. As for whether their opponents knew these arts, Zhang nglong didn't care. As long as Zhang nglong spoke, various unforeseen incidents would happen, causing the opponent to fail in their operations.
After all, back in the day, when Colonel Guo Zeyuan spoke, all sorts of extraordinary things would happen. He was considered a deity because he declared he wasn't one. And those foolish humans always thought of opposing deities with human bodies. Isn't that ludicrous?
During the journey, another elderly man boarded their ship. This old man appeared frail and hunched, yet within him lay a terrifying power, almost at the level of the Main God. The endless life force perplexed Zhang nglong—he could obviously maintain his youth, so why did he choose to appear as an old man?
This old man was actually the true owner of the casino, nad Leo, who was already over 13 million years old. The casino had been a family business passed down through generations. It's said that during their peak, they even served on the board, with a gambling master ancestor at the helm.
However, after that ancestor's term ended, he was attacked by other adversarial mbers on his way back, was fatally wounded, and passed away. His skills were not passed down, leading to the gradual decline of their casino.
"Kerke, is this the help you invited?" Leo examined Zhang nglong and Aubi up and down. Most gambling and cheating experts have certain physiological traits from prolonged practice, like guitar players who have calluses on their fingers.
But clearly, Zhang nglong and Aubi lacked such traits. From Leo's perspective, the two were not even at the level of the God of Gamblers.
"Old sir, it seems you have little confidence in us." Zhang nglong t the old man's gaze without any fear.
"Boss, these two don't seem to understand gambling or cheating techniques," Kerke explained.
"Then why did you invite them here? To help our casino drop to a Level One mber, or even get delisted?" The old man's words carried a hint of anger.
"Boss, they defeated the God of Gamblers and won at least tens of millions of years' worth of currency from him!" Kerke explained.
"Oh?" This seed to change Leo's expression slightly. "I would like to know what exactly you relied on to beat Leo."
"Old sir, when making a judgnt, it's best not to have preconceived emotions. In gambling, we have never lost. As long as I don't want to lose, no one can win a single penny from ."
"Hahaha, what a bold claim. I've seen the most formidable gamblers, but none are as confident as you. Are you relying on just your mouth?" the old man laughed.
"Ah, you're right. I do rely solely on my mouth!" Zhang nglong said.
"Now I'm curious to see it."
"My mouth isn't for demonstrations. If I speak rashly, even I don't know what will happen."
"Hahaha, in all my 13 million years, this is the first ti I've heard sothing so ridiculous."
"In that case," Zhang nglong glanced around, seemingly searching for sothing, then suddenly focused on the ceiling of the spaceship.
"Mr. Zhang! Don't speak!" It seed Kerke realized sothing.
"I believe this spaceship should be able to reach its destination intact."
"We're dood!" Kerke imdiately began rummaging through the nearby ergency cabinet, searching for ergency escape pods and the like. Though he didn't know what was going to happen, there was no ti for further thought.
"There's no need to panic," Zhang nglong said to Aubi. "In a mont, we'll both die without our bodies intact!"
"With you saying that, I feel relieved!" Aubi was just about to join Kerke in finding life-saving equipnt, but what could be safer than Zhang nglong's golden words?
"What are you doing?" Leo looked at them in confusion, clearly not understanding what was happening. Were they putting on a show?
Just Zhang nglong uttered one sentence, and Kerke acted like he'd lost his mind. He didn't even say anything unlucky. Wasn't the fact that the spaceship could safely reach the destination a good thing?
Besides, does this person known as the "venomous creature" have a grudge against the person known as the God of Gamblers? Why curse him to die with no body left?
"There's no ti to explain, boss, prepare for safety asures. The spaceship is about to have an incident!" Kerke said frantically.
"Ridiculous!" Leo thought Kerke had gone mad.
Their civilization had advanced through many ages, technology reaching unparalleled levels. Although space storms sporadically occurred in this space-jumping region, their probability was extrely low, perhaps billions to one, which was already an exaggeration.
Besides, their ship had the most advanced energy protective shield, a type of alloy that, even if it encountered a space storm, would at most experience mild turbulence, and an accident was impossible.
Across the entire world, the probability of such top-tier ships encountering accidents in space-jumping regions was a few million years ago occurrence. For them to truly experience such a situation would be laughable.
However, Zhang nglong's words never failed. If he activated the Managent Studies skill, then no accidents would ever occur.
"Clang!"
The spaceship suddenly shook aggressively, a violent tremor causing everyone aboard to lose their footing.
The spaceship's ergency notification system activated, bringing two terrifying ssages.
First, the spaceship's defense system malfunctioned!
Second, the spaceship was encountering a powerful space storm!
The previous massive jolt was a result of the space storm attack. The left side of the spaceship structure was neatly sliced off by a fifth, affecting even the ship's propulsion system. Now the spaceship couldn't perform effective evasive maneuvers!
This space storm was imbued with World Force, and even soone like Leo, if caught, might not escape alive!
Each of their spaceship launches underwent strict inspections, with failure rates almost negligible!
Coupled with encountering a space-ti storm, the probabilities together made an almost impossible scenario, yet they just happened to run into it!
"Is this...your doing?" Leo's gaze towards Zhang nglong suddenly filled with horror.
"Yes," Zhang nglong replied. "You wanted to demonstrate, didn't you? I told you demonstrations are possible, but the consequences are yours to bear!"
Kerke beside him was close to collapse, "Mr. Venomous Creature, please, withdraw your magic!"
