Chapter 423: Chapter 104: Super Gambling Game Chapter 423: Chapter 104: Super Gambling Game Watching the Chief Instructor trying to reform their family, everyone broke out in a look of disbelief and innocent skyward glances.

Really, haha…

Is the Fei Family trying to reform their family practices?

That is daydreaming, utterly ludicrous.

You speak as if it would turn out true but it is utterly impossible. You almost made me believe it!

Why don’t you think about what you just said!

Where does the root of the problem lie?

Don’t you, old man, have at least some sense of the reality!

“I remember commissioning a calligraphy, it reads: ‘Honesty carries on the family, and literacy brings prosperity to the world!’ It hangs in the middle room, but it seems to have zero effect on these brats…”

The Chief Instructor of Qin country muttered and cursed, “I’ll bring in more scholars when I get back, have them write a few more calligraphies to hang up in the house… If it still doesn’t work, then we’re all betrayed by the old people.”

People were dumbfounded.

How does he manage to make such nonsense sound reasonable?

Can you explain how your magical thought process works?

What did you do to get such a nasty accusation thrown back at you?

But even though everyone could criticize other strong opposition, at least they dared to, once they found out the identity of this old fellow, everyone held their tongues, not daring to utter a word.

I’ll be damned if he targets me. I can’t stand it.

The person before us is really a genius who can curse my ancestors into dancing in their coffins.

Better not mess with him.

So, everyone stopped talking and even the Chief Instructor who had just been scolded, kept his mouth shut.

If I say anything more, he might just recognize me. Better keep my mouth shut.

If I were to get cursed at like that here, wouldn’t it have been quite an achievement for me as the Gold Rank Chief Instructor under Heavenly Judge?

If this went out, I’d be cursed all over the continent…

Can’t I at least stay out of this?!

Everyone turned their heads in unison and focused intently on the leaderboard.

The moment they looked, they nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

They saw the gentle number stopping at six hundred and thirty-three and hadn’t moved for a while!

“Damn it! Why has it stopped again!”

A few people cried out, overwhelmed by a feeling of both amusement and frustration.

This guy must be doing it on purpose, right?

Could it be because he has already killed a lot of enemies, so he is deliberately pausing to give others a chance to catch up? Waiting for others to catch up, then turning back to kill?

If that’s the case, aren’t you just being sadistic?

A few people were considering starting another betting round, especially those who just lost, they were plotting: Should I open another round? Payment in full? Maybe I could make a small comeback?

This seems like an opportunity!

With this clear thought, they decided, “Let’s open another round, betting on when the gentle one will start moving again. Who wants to bet? There’s no limit, everyone’s welcome! I’ll be the dealer!”

“Why should you be the dealer? It should be me!”

“I suggested it first, I should do it!”

Finally, Gu Yunfan grabbed the dealer position: “No matter what, the gentle one is my student. Are you guys even relevant? I should be the dealer!”

In consideration of the Chief Instructor of Qin country, everyone grumbled but reluctantly let Gu Yunfan be the dealer.

After all, he is from Qin country.

“There are five betting options. The first is after two hours. The second is after three hours. The third is after four hours. The fourth is after five hours. The fifth is tomorrow.”

Gu Yunfan proposed the rules.

These rules, however, sparked indignation: “There are too many options. Isn’t the dealer bound to win and make a big profit? It’s at least a four-to-one ratio. This is too advantageous for you!”

“No, no!”

“There’s no such thing as a dealer with this many options in the world!”

“With so many, isn’t the dealer sure to profit?”

“It’s not fair.”

Under such pressure, Gu Yunfan reluctantly abandoned his plan: “Then there will be two options, the odds are one to one. One option is within five hours, the other option is beyond five hours!”

“Start betting!! The minimum bet is one hundred spirit crystals, there’s no upper limit!”

Hearing the big bets, everyone started to think again.

Following the previous pattern, the gentle one initially stopped for three hours, then suddenly exploded, with scores soaring rapidly.

Then again… it took almost three hours without moving, right?

Then another burst, scores skyrocketing.

Does this mean that this number, three hours, is a magic number?

Tsk tsk…

Is it really?

Everyone’s minds were racing at this moment.

Then someone finally made a move: “I bet one thousand spirit crystals on within five hours!”

This guy was one of the previous losers, apparently trying to win everything back in one go, maybe even make a fortune!

Once someone took the initiative, others followed suit: “I also bet five hundred spirit crystals on within five hours!”

This trend led others to feel that perhaps five hours was too long.

The chances didn’t seem too good.

To not move for five hours within a ten day task limit?

What are you trying to do?

Are they all here to sleep?

There’s no way it could go beyond five hours!

So they all bet it would be within five hours!

Summing it all up, there were only a few who bet on five hours or more, just a pitiful three people.

And these three individuals seemed to be regretting their decision, they appeared as if they wanted to recall their bets but were too embarrassed to do so.

In the face of such circumstances, Gu Yunfan was a bit flabbergasted.

Earlier, he had carelessly given two options; now, practically everyone was betting on five hours or less. If they lost, the Gu family would be plunged into bankruptcy. They would probably be beaten to a pulp by their boss when they returned!

Shockingly, the Chief Instructor asked him in a low voice, “What are the chances of it being more than five hours?”

Gu Yunfan’s eyes lit up instantly. This was like a giant life raft. If he could share some of this burden, he wouldn’t have to worry so much.

Therefore, he said with certainty, “I’m confident, it’s absolutely gonna be more than five hours.”

The Chief Instructor frowned, “Are you really sure?”

“Absolutely sure, I’m one hundred percent confident!”

Gu Yunfan spoke with conviction. You should bet more, I really can’t afford this loss. You must bet more, help a kid out, you should bet at least one hundred thousand. Then, I might make a profit…

“As long as you’re sure!”

The Chief Instructor waved his hand, “I bet it’ll be within five hours, Twenty thousand spirit crystals!”

“Good… what?!”

Suddenly, Gu Yunfan’s vision blackened and he almost fainted.

I’m screwed!

This guy is certainly an enemy!

Why is he so sinister?

“Boss…” Gu Yunfan looked at the Chief Instructor with tears almost pouring out of his eyes.

Even if you don’t help me, don’t stab me in the back!

“You shameless bastard, you dare to pawn off your responsibility onto me!”

The Chief Instructor cleverly cursed, “I’ve been wise and smart all my life, There’s no way I’d fall for your dirty tricks!”

Suddenly, he turned to the other two Chief Instructors and said, “Come on, place your bets! Bet on five hours or less, this bet cannot be lost. His brother is Gu Yunbian, who knows how much he has obtained through bribery over the years… It’s high time he coughed up some of it. Damn… He wanted to screw me over!”

“No!…” Gu Yunfan cried out, “Stop placing bets! Stop placing bets!”

“You say stop and it stops? Do you make the rules? Didn’t you say there was no limit?”

Under the control of the three Chief Instructors, Gu Yunfan watched helplessly as another twenty thousand spirit crystal bet for within five hours was placed.

At this moment, Instructor Gu really wished he was dead!

He was done for.

Completely done for!

Heavenly ancestors of the Gu family, your unworthy descendant Yunfan is about to disgrace you, he is about to lose face!

With tears in his eyes, Gu Yunfan just felt like he was struck by lightning, his head spinning.

He might be able to deny some debts, but the debts in front of these people were impossible to deny.

He looked at the Chief Instructor with deep resentment. He had heard long ago that their family was particularly spiteful, and they loved taking advantage of others when they were vulnerable. But he never imagined they would go to such an extent, to even harm their own kind?!

This was clearly pushing him to his death!

What deep hatred do I have with your family?

Is it so serious? Is it really that serious?

Then, the Crow Emperor spoke, “No limit? That’s a big wager. I’ll chip in two thousand as well, also betting on five hours or less.”

Gu Yunfan felt a lump of blood surge up into his throat. Oh heavens, oh earth, can you spare me?

Crow Emperor, why do you have to join the fray?

Getting involved in conflicts amongst humans?!

But he is an emperor after all, with a reputation to uphold. Although two thousand spirit crystals were a noticeable amount, for the Demon Emperor, it was really just a nominal amount!

However, when Gu Yunfan saw that the Crow Emperor actually bet two thousand King rank Spiritual Pearls, he immediately rolled his eyes and fell down limply.

There’s no way around it.

There’s truly no way around it.

By neglecting the rules, you’re essentially buying my life, buying out the Gu family’s life!

Just this bet alone would cause my family to be indebted. We would have to take on additional debts, even if my older brother used up all his resources.

Add that to the previous ones…

All the others!

Oh my God!

Gu Yunfan watched as the Demon Kings poured in one after another, hundreds of Demon Kings, betting a hundred here, two hundred there, causing the stake to rise steadily…

“Stop!!”

With a lunge, Gu Yunfan landed on the betting slip, “Betting is over, it’s over, my brothers, my lords… please spare me! I will undoubtedly be written into the history books at this rate….”

Despite this, the bets of the thirty odd Demon Kings who had already placed their bets and signed still counted.

What’s done is done; there was no way to undo it.

Other Demon Kings were still pushing forward, clamoring to place their bets, saying it would be unfair not to, and that we had no gambling spirit.

“Boss!”

Gu Yunfan pleaded tearfully, “Look at me! Look at me!!”

The Qin Chief Instructor also felt that they had gone a bit far. It seemed that if they lost this round, he would be the one to push the Gu family into the Abyss, and he felt incredibly uneasy.

He quickly stepped in to alleviate the situation, “Alright, alright, the dealer’s limit has already been reached, let’s disperse. Do you really want to see them bankrupted? All of you, even those Demons, have your hearts turned black with evil intent? What are you trying to achieve! Are you trying to incite chaos all over?!”
