After he sold the corpse of the tiger, he and Alina continued to do shopping in the shopping district. He was glad he got to sell the tiger sense he didn't had any change to use except for platinum coins. While they were shopping Athan asked about the city to Alina. She was surprised knowing that Athan didn't even knew the name of the city even if he could have known the name of the city through the system he decided it will be better to ask her to keep there conversation going.
She started telling him about the the city which was named Ereck city of the East. Ereck was built 1200 years ago by the group of travelers. The city was built with the cooperation between humans, Demi humans and giants which explained why the city walls looked so big. Humans had the highest population so they were able to rule over the other two. He was surprised after knowing humans and Demi humans were able to coexist together sense most of the stories he read in the past life had humans and Demi humans as enemies. Humans remained the ruler and Demi humans were able to live happily with them but the giants had to leave the city due because they caused a famine in the city eating all the food.
They tried to coexist but as the time passed the giants didn't had enough food for them so they decided to move from the land 500 years ago. After they left the city wasn't able to develop as fast as before sense the giants were excellent builders after they left all the work were done by humans and Demi humans.
While they were talking they arrived at a tailor shop. He specifically wanted to come here because he didn't have any cloths except for the cloths he was wearing which he got from the system. Inside the shop he could see many different types of clothes which had different colors and huge variety of designs, he could also see a very beautiful women sitting in the reception with a average looking girl by her side.
While he was checking the store he was greeted by the same lady who looked like she was in her late 20's. She asked him if he wanted some clothes to which he answered yes. She started to show him different variety of clothes which all looked good. He praised the shopkeeper for having such good clothes which she really appreciated and also praised him saying it was him who was just too handsome that all clothes looked good with him. Athan didn't dislike others praising him of his looks even though he was not that handsome in his past life he could still be counted above average. He could have easily got a girl if he tried but he didn't have time to hang out with anyone.
He shopped all day buying all kinds of stuff including clothes he needed, some food and also some weapon to train with. He also had lunch with Alina and also bought her a necklace, she didn't accepted it at first but after requesting her to take it as a friend she finally took it. It was like the date which he really missed, he was really happy Alina decided to tag along with him.
After finishing buying all his necessities he asked Alina to take all the stuff he bought to the mansion. Alina asked him if he still had things he wanted to buy than she will accompany him but he declined. She had a great time today so she was bit upset that it was ending. Seeing her a bit upset he cheered her up saying he had a great time today and he would love to go on another date with her.
She cheered up a bit and went back to the mansion after saying there good buys. After she left he was ready to have the party of the day. He asked the system the location of the nearest casino which was popular.
He arrived at the casino which looked really big and seemed quite fancy than other buildings. Before he went inside he decided to buy a mask to cover his face so others won't know his face if he got into trouble and also to hide the usage of his eye. After wearing the mask he decided to go inside the casino, arriving inside he sees a lot of people but it didn't looked too crowded due to it having large space. He went toward the person which looked like a receptionist who greeted him asking if he had any problem.
....First person POV...
Athan: Hi I am new around here so I was hopping you could help me know how the casino worked.
Receptionist: Yeah sure if you are new around here let me start from the basics, to play any games in the casino you will have to exchange real money to get the casino token which have four different colors bronze, silver, gold, and grayish-white. Bronze token can be bought with copper coins, silver with silver coins, gold with gold coins and grayish-white with platinum coins. All the token have the value of big coins but they have small coin counted as bits with there respective color and they can be exchanged back but you will have to pay 5% tax. The casino has the license from the king himself meaning anyone who does anything to disturb the customer service they will be strictly punished. And finally the casino has three floors 1st floor is allowed for everyone, 2nd floor is allowed only for people who have VIP pass which one can only get after exchanging 20 gold coins and lastly 3rd floor is only allowed for people who have exchanged 10 platinum coins to get VIP glory.
I have 29 platinum coins and 7 big gold coins remaining after doing all the shopping today. I took out 2 platinum coins from my inventory and gave it to the receptionist.
Athan: I would like to exchange them for 19 gold tokens and 10 silver tokens.
Receptionist: Sure, here you go and also your VIP pass sir, hope you will have a great time.
After getting my VIP pass and 20 gold token I went to the second floor of the casino. When I arrived I could see the second floor was better than the first floor in both appearance and the quality of items used and had less people than the first floor. I could see a table where people were playing mini baccarat a perfect game for me sense I can see the future. I went to the table and sat in a open chair. I could see that the game had and already begun. There were six people playing the game including me, I used my eyes in hurry so I won't be late to see the future in which i saw that there will be a tie.
Athan: 'Perfect.'
Even though I will look suspicious if I placed high bet on tie and win sense a winning in tie is rare in baccarat even though it's rare if a person does win betting on tie he or she will be paid 1 by 8 of his or her money meaning he or she will get 8 times the money they placed. To look less suspicious I as a genius decided to act like a arrogant rich kid. I saw the person next to me bet 5 silver on the player.
Athan: Come on only betting 5 silver even my breakfast is more expensive than that.
I acted like a arrogant brat while placing 15 gold in the bet. And than hearing me talk like that the person I takes to seemed offended and answered.
Stranger: You got any problem with me, don't be arrogant just because you have some money you bastard.
Athan: Hey chill man you will get in trouble if you cause a nuisance.
Stranger: Says the person who started it. And also you seem to be new around here to bet in tie I have seen a person win twice betting in it.
He said while smirking. But after seeing the cards in the table he had his mouth open. There were a perfect 9 and k in both player and banker meaning a tie also meaning Athan won.
Stranger: Damn how can it be.
Athan: Most of my friend call me lucky bastard sense I have good luck in both games and women.
Stranger: You are too annoying I am not in the mood to play anymore.
He said while leaving the table. I didn't really cared about him as I felt like flying seeing the money I earned, betting 15 gold in tie meaning he got 114 gold by paying 5% tax for the house. I took the money happily. To be honest I was not really good in gambling in my past life exactly opposite of my younger sister who was always had good luck.
Then the next round began I used my eyes again and saw the banker win so I bet 100 gold in the banker. After the house placed the cards in the table l could see banker had 9 and 2 while the player had 2 and A. Winning again my money was doubled same as the other time paying 5% tax meaning I got 95 gold tokens extra, I am getting rich over night I can't believe earning money is so easy, I feel laugh out really really loud right now. I thought with a smile in my face.
Then gain the house did another round to which I had seen from my eyes that the player was going to win so I bet on player 150 coins but was stopped by house saying I can only bet up to 100 gold. I was sad hearing I could only bet 100 gold but I was getting rich right now so I wasn't much upset.
I kept on playing for another 7 rounds each which I won by betting 100 gold token in the end I had won and had 973 gold token which I placed in my inventory making others think I had a storage item. Making many people envy me. Seeing there envious eyes I decided to act arrogant again.
Athan: Hey come on guys don't look at me with those hateful eyes just bet all your money on the place I bet I am pretty sure you will win. Sense I am so nice after all hahaha.
The people next to mr were looking at me like, 'I so so want to kill this arrogant brat.'
Sense I had won a lot I thought of loosing to look less suspicious. Sense I decided to loose I didn't use my eyes and betted 10 silver in the banker so the casino doesn't loose much which was followed by two idiots who betted 50 gold and 70 gold in the banker seeing I was winning a lot while others smart enough knew I was going to lose this time sense I placed so low. They probably knew from my current action I was cheating by doing something but didn't know how so they decided to kept there mouth shut.
Athan: I lost, damn it. So sorry guys I thought I was going to win for sure.
Those two people who betted after me were looking at me with blood thirsty eyes. Many of them were frowning and some were looking at the two like some kind of idiot to believe my words.
