26: Chapter 26 Long Aotian's Invitation! Sorry, I don't even understand mahjong!

[Name: Long Aotian]

[Age: 27]

[Height: 187]

[Identity: Sect Head of the Qianmen Society, behind-the-scenes boss of the Vienna Casino...]

[Cultivation: Martial Arts Grandmaster!]

[Proficiencies: Jujutsu, Fist Techniques, Marksmanship, Saber Techniques, Gambling Techniques...]

...

[Kill Reward: 9,999 pleasure points!]

The System's voice flashed by.

"Hiss!"

"System! You've exposed yourself! Now you're too lazy to even issue missions, and you just directly mark a kill reward?"

"You have a grudge against the Child of Fortune, don't you?"

Chu Xiao muttered to himself, his heart exceptionally excited.

He hadn't expected to encounter another Child of Fortune in such a short time, and the other party's cultivation was actually at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.

One must know that Ye Fan, also a Child of Fortune, was currently only at the Martial Arts Master Realm!

Furthermore, Ye Fan was already 29 years old, while the Long Aotian before him was only 27.

Truly worthy of being a Child of Fortune!

Even if a normal person was exceptionally gifted, reaching the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm would take at least thirty to fifty years of effort.

From this, it was evident how Heaven-Defying those so-called Children of Fortune were!

Unfortunately, they lived in this world!

The corners of Chu Xiao's mouth curled up.

[Ding!]

[Every Child of Fortune contains immense Luck. Killing them only brings benefits and no harm to the host!]

[Furthermore, this System can assist you in intercepting the other party's Luck!]

[Note: Luck has no meaning for you. By possessing this System, you already represent the strongest Luck in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!]

The System's voice sounded.

Chu Xiao gasped, deeply in agreement. The strongest cool-novel system theoretically possessed all the Golden Fingers in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms; there was nothing the System couldn't provide, only what one couldn't imagine!

Just enjoy it!

"It's him! The God of Gamblers, Long Aotian! Even he was alerted!"

"My god, he's my idol!"

Someone exclaimed and screamed.

Ye Fan frowned slightly. As a Martial Arts Master, he instinctively sensed the Great Grandmaster aura emanating from Long Aotian.

This person was so young, yet he was already at the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm!

How is this possible!

Ye Fan was incredibly shocked. He felt that becoming a Martial Arts Master at 29 was unprecedented, yet he hadn't expected someone to be even more impressive than him.

What on earth is wrong with this world!

At the same time, Long Aotian's gaze fell on Ye Fan. Their eyes met, and both saw a hint of wariness and hostility in each other's eyes.

As fellow Children of Fortune, there was naturally a bit of mutual repulsion!

"So this is the legendary God of Gamblers! I've long heard of your great name!" Chu Xiao smiled and cupped his hands, looking polite and harmless.

Long Aotian also smiled and said, "Young Master Chu, would you be interested in having a gamble together?"

[Ding!]

[The Child of Fortune has issued a bet to you. As the host of this System, you absolutely cannot back down!]

[Mission Issued: The God of Gamblers is nothing! Please defeat the Child of Fortune Long Aotian in Gambling Techniques!]

[Mission Reward: 3,000 pleasure points!]

The System's voice sounded in his mind.

The corners of Chu Xiao's mouth curled up as he smiled and said, "Since Brother Long has extended such a warm invitation, I shall naturally accompany you to the end!"

Hearing this.

Pei Yimo's expression was worried. She leaned in close to Chu Xiao and whispered, "Chu Xiao, didn't you hear what others said just now? This Long Aotian is the God of Gamblers of our Jianghai City! If we gamble with him, we'll definitely lose! I think we should just forget it. After all, we've already won so much!"

Li Qingxue, with an attitude of wanting to see some excitement, said, "What's there to fear? Chu Xiao has such good Luck, he might not necessarily lose! Don't you worry about it!"

Pei Yimo looked at her and said, "But..."

Chu Xiao smiled and said, "It's fine, I'm just playing around with him! I believe a big shot like Brother Long, who's at the level of a God of Gamblers, definitely won't let a rookie like me lose too miserably!"

Long Aotian grinned, laughing wildly while clapping his hands. "Very good! Very good! I like straightforward people like Brother Chu! Shall we begin now?"

The surrounding gamblers, who were originally angry about the machine malfunction, all quieted down upon hearing that Chu Xiao was going to have a gambling match with Long Aotian, their eyes filled with immense excitement.

One was the exceptionally lucky eldest Young Master of the Chu Group, and the other was the long-famous God of Gamblers of Jianghai City. Their clash would surely be a high-stakes gamble that couldn't be missed.

Many gamblers gathered around, wanting to witness this historic moment.

Then, Long Aotian's gaze fell on Ye Fan again. He gave a contemptuous smile and said with a hint of provocation, "I see this brother has an extraordinary bearing. I wonder if you're interested in joining the game and playing along?"

"Sure! Since we're gambling, let's play together!"

Ye Fan smiled confidently. He was also quite proficient in Gambling Techniques; during his years abroad, he often frequented major casinos, spending money like water.

It was just that after returning to the country, he had become much more low-profile!

If an ordinary person invited him to a game, he would definitely refuse given his arrogant personality. But Long Aotian was different; the other party was also a Child of Fortune, and neither wanted to lose face.

The atmosphere was tinged with the scent of gunpowder!

"Good! Then the three of us will gamble together!"

The gazes of the three men—Chu Xiao, Long Aotian, and Ye Fan—intertwined as if invisible arcs of electricity were flashing, sending sparks flying.

Li Qingxue's brow furrowed slightly, her favorable impression of Ye Fan decreasing a bit more, but she didn't say anything. After all, she and Ye Fan were only a fake couple, not in a real relationship.

"Chu Xiao, are you sure about this?"

Pei Yimo asked, full of worry.

Chu Xiao smiled faintly. "To tell you the truth, I've never gambled before. I don't even understand Mahjong! That's why I've been playing 'Big or Small' here this whole time!"

Hearing this, Pei Yimo's pretty face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What did you say? You don't know how to gamble? Then why did you agree to him! Aren't we just giving away money? Forget it, forget it! We're not gambling anymore. Can we just go home?"

Chu Xiao rubbed the bridge of his nose and smiled. "What's there to be afraid of? It's just losing some money! My Chu Group has plenty of money for me to squander! Same old rule: if we lose, it's on me; if we win, we split it fifty-fifty! You won't suffer any loss!"

"That's not what I meant! Sigh... fine! Go ahead and gamble! If you lose, we'll still split it fifty-fifty!"

Pei Yimo's clear eyes gazed at Chu Xiao. She suddenly found that she seemed to like Chu Xiao even more; he was open-minded and transparent, had no interest in wealth, and acted according to his whims.

Could this be the legendary viewing money as dirt?

He's simply too handsome!

He doesn't like money!

Then what on earth does he like?

The people around them couldn't help but gasp. They really hadn't expected that Chu Xiao had been playing 'Big or Small' because he was completely ignorant about gambling!

Then this gambling match is going to be really interesting!

Ye Fan sneered in his heart, thinking to himself, "Chu Xiao, you really are arrogant enough! You don't even understand Mahjong, yet you dare to accept the bet! But this is fine too! I've long found you an eyesore! Later, I'll definitely make you lose until you don't even have your underwear left!"

Long Aotian also narrowed his eyes, sizing Chu Xiao up. He was pondering how much of what Chu Xiao said was true.
