275: Chapter 275 Classic Pig Butchering Scam!

Inside the Starry Sky Casino, the air was still thick with the smell of blood.

Severed limbs and broken arms lay scattered across the crystal floor, a shocking sight.

High up in the sky, Loki's lips curled into an elegant arc, and he gently snapped his fingers.

"Snap."

In the next second, a hair-raising scene unfolded.

The hard crystal floor rippled, as if turning into a hungry swamp.

The blood and shredded flesh on the ground were absorbed and swallowed by the floor in the blink of an eye!

Immediately after.

"Rumble—!"

The entire Starry Sky Plaza shook violently.

Countless machines flashing with neon lights slowly rose from beneath the floor!

Slot machines with flashing levers!

Fully automatic mahjong shuffling machines!

Texas Hold'em tables, roulette, blackjack...

Everything you could think of was there!

Loki spread his arms, a hint of excitement in his eyes:

"Survivors, welcome to the second game—[Destiny Casino]!"

"Here, the only chips are your lifespans!"

Loki's voice was full of temptation and cunning:

"The rules are very simple."

"The system will forcibly deduct twenty years of lifespan from each person as your initial chips."

"Your goal—is to win, or to lose!"

Loki raised his right hand and tapped the black watch on his left wrist.

"Players, you have seventy-two hours of game time!"

"During this time, as long as you win twenty years' worth of chips, or lose absolutely everything, you will be considered to have cleared the stage!"

"As the dealer, I am very merciful!"

"But!"

Loki changed his tone: "If you lose all your chips but are unwilling to leave empty-handed."

"Don't lose heart! You can exchange chips with me at any time!"

"As long as you still have lifespan left, you can keep gambling!"

"I wish you all the best of luck~"

"Buzz—!"

As Loki's voice fell.

Above the heads of all the surviving players, a golden virtual number appeared simultaneously:

[7,300!]

Looking at the twenty years (7,300 days) of lifespan forcibly converted above their heads.

The foreign players in the crowd instantly erupted!

"Fuck! That's my lifespan! Who gave you permission to deduct it!"

"I was already about to die of old age! And you still deduct twenty years! You're trying to drive me to death!"

"I'm not gambling! Can I just give you back the chips?! Let me out!"

On the square, countless people screamed in protest as they broke down.

High up in the sky.

Loki narrowed his long, thin eyes, smiling harmlessly.

"Not gambling?! Oh~! Of course you can, you cowards!"

"However..."

"After seventy-two hours, the trash who haven't met the clearance conditions will..."

Loki suddenly raised both hands, his fingers snapping open in a blooming gesture.

"Bang!"

"Turn into a blooming, bloody firework~"

*Hiss—!*

Hearing this blatant death threat.

The players who were clamoring in protest just now shuddered in fear.

How was this a casino? This was clearly an Asura arena of forced buying and selling!

...

Inside the cockpit of the Red Wolf Tank.

Lu Yuan and Xia Li raised their heads, looking at the [7,300] hovering above each other's heads, their expressions turning solemn.

"What an insidious rule."

A chill flashed through Xia Li's frost-cold eyes: "It seems like the clearance conditions are simple—you can leave once you lose everything."

"But this is precisely the most fatal trap!"

"Using twenty years of lifespan as gambling capital is too high a price!"

"Those who win want to win more, and those who lose everything want to recoup their losses."

"Once they lose their minds to gambling, no one will be willing to leave the table!"

Lu Yuan slowly stood up, his gaze deep: "Yes, nine out of ten bets are lost."

"Loki is the God of Mischief. How could a venue run by him let people easily win away the chips?"

"Let's go down and take a look. This game isn't that simple."

The two exchanged a look, nodded in tacit understanding, pushed open the hatch, and jumped down from the tank.

At this moment.

The Starry Sky Plaza was already a scene of clamor.

The foreign players from various regions, as well as the 300,000-strong army of the Red Wolf Guild, were all shocked by the sight before them.

Lu Yuan and Xia Li walked side by side to the nearest slot machine.

When they saw the prize pool list on the holographic screen clearly.

Even Lu Yuan, who was used to grand scenes, couldn't help but gasp.

[First Prize: Legendary Random Blueprint x1!]

[Second Prize: Epic Weapon Chest x3!]

[Third Prize: 50 Years of Absolute Lifespan x10!]

These rewards were simply ridiculously generous!

However, the even more shocking part was yet to come.

"Brother Lu! Sister-in-law! Come look over here quickly!"

From afar, Lin Zihao's cracked, high-pitched scream echoed.

Lu Yuan and Xia Li quickly threaded through the crowd and arrived at the very center of the square.

Here stood a giant machine dozens of meters tall, resembling a pyramid.

A coin pusher!

Inside the transparent glass, glittering golden chips covered the surface.

And on the edge of the coin pusher's mechanical pushing plate that constantly moved back and forth...

There lay a treasure chest emitting a red glow!

Half of the chest was already hanging in mid-air, tottering precariously with the movement of the pushing plate.

It seemed as if inserting just a few more coins would push it completely off!

[Ultimate Jackpot: Mythical Chest x1!!!]

When they clearly saw the words floating above that treasure chest.

"Boom!"

The entire Starry Sky Plaza boiled over completely!

All human rationality was completely crushed at this moment.

"A Mythical Chest! It's Mythical!!!"

"As long as we push it down, we can ascend to heaven in a single step and possess the power of a god!"

"It's about to fall! Just a little bit more!"

The flames of greed ignited everyone's eyes.

Whether they were high-and-mighty regional leaders or ordinary solo players.

At this moment, their eyes were bloodshot as they clutched the chips in their hands, lunging toward the surrounding gambling machines like madmen.

...

...

On the other side of the square.

Wang Jian and Li Na stood in front of a blackjack table.

This young couple had been honest, law-abiding citizens before transmigrating, and they knew absolutely nothing about gambling.

Wang Jian swallowed and looked at the number above his head: "Wife, let's just play casually!"

"If we lose our initial twenty years of lifespan, we'll immediately quit this damn game!"

"Yeah!"

Li Na looked around vigilantly: "Fortunately, the Boss added two hundred years of lifespan to our guild, so we can afford to lose!"

"We'll leave once we lose it all, absolutely no greed!"

Having made up their minds, the two sat down at the gambling table.

For the first hand, they just bet blindly.

The dealer busted.

Win!

For the second hand, they hit exactly 21.

Win!

The third hand.

Win!!!

In just a few minutes, the number above Wang Jian's head soared like it was on a rocket!

[14,000!]

Seeing that with just a little more winning, they could gather a full forty years of lifespan and safely exit with doubled chips!

"W-Wife!"

"Is our luck today just too good?!"

A strange flush had crept onto Wang Jian's originally honest face at some point.

"Just one more win! Just one more win and we'll leave!"

Li Na, who was always gentle and virtuous, was also breathing heavily now, her eyes turning fanatical.

She even unconsciously tightened her grip on her daughter, Xiaoya.

"Quick! Deal! Deal the cards quickly!"

Li Na stared blankly at the puppet dealer opposite her, her voice sharp and anxious.

...

Not far away.

Lu Yuan and Xia Li watched the two at the gambling table with cold eyes.

Lu Yuan's eyes were sharp: "Do you see it?"

"Yes."

Xia Li's face was frosty, her gaze burning like a torch: "They seem to be affected by some kind of hidden mental pollution."

"Their rationality is being stripped away bit by bit."

"A classic pig-butchering scam."

"First they let you win, and once you completely lose your head..."

Xia Li coldly watched the couple at the table, whose eyes were bloodshot, her tone carrying a trace of certainty from seeing through the truth:

"If nothing unexpected happens, next, it's time for them to lose!"
