Forty-six billion and four million US dollars, all in.
Win.
In the center of the first floor of the casino, a white-haired, silver-eyed girl rested her chin on her hand, surrounded by billions of colossal chips...
And the abilities output by several ruthless players...
"Who else wants to challenge?" The white-haired girl's face was gentle and warm, "I'm still going all in with my chips. Seize the opportunity, it's now or never."
As long as she wins once, she can reclaim all her previous chips and become the most prominent figure in the casino.
In this casino game, players' assets can be exchanged for the casino's trading chips.
In other words.
The vast heritage of this ancient casino, the storage of the prop library, the transactions of high-level abilities...
All were within reach.
It could be called a rare opportunity that almost never existed in reality.
However, even so, no gambler went up to challenge her.
It was only natural.
Because this white-haired player, regardless of her opponent's rank or the game they wager on, could always win with unparalleled luck...
"No relevant records... Hidden advanced ability users from Europe?"
Ji Yi furrowed her brows like facing a great enemy.
Perhaps there was a strategy to win by "pure combat," but as long as the white-haired girl didn't accept the challenge, it wouldn't be possible to implement.
In other words, she would only accept gambling that depended on luck, and her winning rate was a hundred percent.
She was an unsolvable existence in this gambling game.
Ji Yi had already determined the level of that white-haired player; she had undoubtedly reached the level of Class A.
For anything where a certain value reached its extreme, perception, recovery... luck, it was basically within the realm of Class A, with no exceptions.
"Has no one come to challenge me yet?" The white-haired girl sighed with boredom, "Time's running out, and I'm in a hurry."
Her carefree words of invincibility left the proud players in the audience speechless.
The white-haired girl glanced at Ji Yi, and their gazes created a strange friction.
The corners of the white-haired girl's mouth curled up, and she smiled.
"That will do."
She casually tossed a chip and left the table, losing interest.
Immediately afterward, under the gaze of the gold-masked attendants, she opened the interface for drawing casino identities, a series of privileges appearing before her eyes.
From regional access, trade discounts, ten consecutive draws from the item library...
Finally, to the queen at the top who could strip players of their game qualifications.
The white-haired girl displayed a confident smile.
Lucky King wouldn't accumulate to a hundred billion gradually; Lucky King always believed in her luck for taking shortcuts.
Even the probability of directly drawing the queen was minuscule.
"Krypton Gold/Card Draw?"
The white-haired girl yawned lightly, saying, "It's my turn, let's start with a ten-card draw."
Then, the bustling golden light transformed into countless lines, converging into ten luxurious cards floating in front of the white-haired girl.
She raised her fingertip and lightly touched them.
Space rippled with golden particle ripples, making all the spectators tense up, the atmosphere becoming increasingly oppressive...
The first card flipped over, revealing its true face.
"...Archduke?"
In an instant, even the players who were silent and subdued were surprised by the white-haired girl's luck.
You see, even for normal gamblers, even in a ten-card draw, the most probable result is usually nine Knights and one Duke...
But she directly leaped over several ranks and got an Archduke on the first draw.
"...Unlucky."
But the white-haired girl murmured to herself, equally astonished by her luck.
Getting the queen on the first draw was almost impossible in her eyes.
As the holder of "Lucky King," she belonged within the realm of luck, no matter what she did, it was impossible for her luck to go wrong.
In other words, according to "Lucky King's" judgment, she wouldn't draw the queen on the first draw...
This, for her, was the luckiest optimal choice...
The white-haired girl furrowed her brows slightly, a premonition of something bad emerging in her mind when misfortune was deemed as luck...
What could it be...
But she didn't have the time to dwell on this.
If she delayed further, Himizuki and Shinguya Tetsu might suddenly surge to a hundred billion and take the only queen.
"Then, let's go. One hundred consecutive draws, let's see how unlucky I can get..."
The white-haired girl calmly ordered a hundred cards, each revealing a hidden identity on their back.
Archduke, Archduke, Archduke...
Looking around, all one hundred golden cards were Archdukes. It had reached an extremely lucky point, so lucky that it was distorted.
All one hundred were Archdukes in the third identity position, the ultimate embodiment of extreme luck.
But the white-haired girl's expression grew increasingly serious.
She had already understood the meaning of "Lucky King."
Until a certain condition was met, she couldn't draw the queen, otherwise...
...she would die.
...
...
The waves outside surged, and Himizuki passed by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the silver-white ship's body like a beautiful traveler in the night.
She ended her call with Ji Yi and then contacted Shinguya Tetsu, sounding a bit annoyed:
"Hey, the situation has changed. Is the fight over yet?"
"Judging by Miss Ji's tone, something unexpected probably happened on the imposter's side, right?"
Shinguya Tetsu on the other end had already concluded the battle, standing on the deck of Chenghai Miracle Cruise, looking up at the moon.
"As long as you know."
Himizuki glanced overseas, "You figure it out. I'm out of options."
Tonight, Himizuki's goal of a hundred billion was already at fifty-nine billion.
For the Strategy Department, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, this was the most competent aid. Himizuki wasn't a saint.
Although the world economy was interconnected and the fall of the Strategy Department would affect many businesses...
Massive and short-term capital investment didn't align with the interests of the Ji family group.
Furthermore, this investment was in top-level encryption, completely leaving the investors in the dark, making it an unexpected investment.
The credibility of the Ji family group had already been affected by tonight's events.
She would also need to suppress the doubts from those old folks in the Ji family group when she returned.
Feeling exhausted, Himizuki, who had always been responsible and diligent, suddenly wanted to get some beauty sleep.
"For now, let's confirm. What's your plan for the next steps?" Himizuki yawned.
"It doesn't matter. I'm sure I can make a lot of money with anime figures."
Click, the screen of her phone instantly went dark.
Himizuki didn't want to comment on Shinguya Tetsu's business acumen and ended the call.
And at some point, "Shadow" emerged from the shadows, leaning against the side of the corridor, nonchalantly saying:
"I have a suggestion."
Himizuki shifted her crimson gaze, calmly staring at "Shadow" as if she was skeptical.
"Let me take over the current joint assets you have. How about finding the imposter?"
"I have a suitable candidate."
Himizuki gave a cold snort, turned away from "Shadow," and walked away with her head held high.
She headed towards Qingxian Special License and the guest room of the second member of the Psychological Rehabilitation Department.
In the end, it's me who's taking over...
Alister watched Himizuki leave the luxurious corridor's corner.
Then, he casually put his hands in his pockets, and "Shadow" retreated into his room without a care.
