Office.
A heavy silence fell.
After a long moment of contemplation, Fan Tianlei chuckled generously and said, “Thunder God, you can set this matter aside for now. Focus instead on preparing for the upcoming large-scale military exercise. After all, the exercise is about to begin—greater matters take precedence.”
“But Chief of Staff, your money…” Thunder God said angrily.
“Don’t worry about the money. I have faith in Chu Yuan,” Fan Tianlei explained with a smile. Thunder God was about to say more but was cut off by Fan Tianlei. “Enough, I need to rest now. Thunder God, you can leave.”
“Alright then…” Resigned, Thunder God withdrew.
Fan Tianlei poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, and gazed out the window with a smile. “Chu Yuan, oh Chu Yuan! What on earth are you up to? Surely you haven’t really taken all my savings, have you?”
In truth, Fan Tianlei couldn’t help but feel worried.
Although he held a high military rank,
he actually had very little savings after all these years.
That 100,000 yuan was everything he had.
If Chu Yuan had truly embezzled and fled…
he would be heartbroken for quite some time!
On the deck.
The sea breeze blew gently.
“Hey there, big brother, are you here alone enjoying the sea breeze?”
Suddenly, a sultry and enchanting voice sounded from behind.
Chu Yuan turned his head and saw a tall woman with near-perfect features.
“Stunning,” Chu Yuan immediately thought to himself.
“No, it’s two people.”
Chu Yuan smiled and walked toward her.
As he drew near, he caught the alluring scent emanating from her—a most pleasant fragrance, truly an indulgence.
“Oh? Two people? How come I only see you standing here all alone?”
The beauty smiled and stepped closer to Chu Yuan as well.
Moonlight gently washed over her flawless skin, making her appear even more captivating.
“Because with you here, it’s two people.”
Chu Yuan smiled faintly and said.
“Hee hee hee, big brother, can I take that as you teasing me?”
Her laughter seemed to outshine everything around them.
“Suit yourself.”
Chu Yuan smiled, completely unfazed.
“You can’t just leave it at that. You should know, I have very little resistance to handsome young men.”
She licked her ruby lips seductively.
“Oh? Looks like this trip won’t be lonely after all…” Chu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat as he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
...
The ferry docked at the harbor.
Chu Yuan merged into the crowd, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the XG Royal Casino.
Lavishly decorated, this was the largest casino in XG!
Without equal!
“It’s said to be a paradise for the wealthy! As long as you have money here, you can enjoy treatment fit for an emperor! That’s the true meaning of a royal casino!”
“But this time… I’m here to gamble…”
Chu Yuan smiled and stepped inside.

Currently, he had only three thousand yuan on him.
That was two thousand more than the one thousand he had originally expected.
However…
Chu Yuan felt a bit at a loss upon entering the casino.
Because…
winning at card games takes time!
The fastest way to win…
was to play dice!
He spent a hundred yuan to buy five ivory dice!
Chu Yuan smiled, his mind made up, and placed the dice into the fifth slot of his system backpack!
“Ding dong~ Please choose!”
“1. Acquire mastery-level dice crafting method!”
“2. Acquire mastery-level dice gambling skill!”
A crisp system prompt sounded!
Two options appeared before Chu Yuan.
“I choose number two!”
His eyes lit up at the choice!
Dice gambling skill!
Exactly what Chu Yuan needed!
Without hesitation, he quickly made five consecutive selections!
“Ding dong~ Congratulations, host, you have acquired mastery-level dice gambling skill! This skill allows mastery of various dice game techniques!”
“Ding dong~ Congratulations, host, you have acquired perfect-level dice gambling skill! This skill grants the ability to become a dice master, perfectly controlling all dice gameplay techniques!”

“Ding dong~ Congratulations, host, you have acquired pinnacle-level dice gambling skill! This skill allows you to become the king of dice, crushing all opponents!”
The clear system prompts rang out continuously!
Chu Yuan’s eyes widened in amazement!
“Haha, this is great!”
He was determined to win some small money.
He was going all out!
In an instant,
various gameplay techniques flooded his mind!
Within moments, Chu Yuan went from knowing nothing to achieving the highest pinnacle mastery of dice gambling in this world!
“Haha, let’s begin!”
Chu Yuan could not help but smile brightly as he looked at the dice table.
“I want the numbers you roll to be exactly what I call out!”
Now, no secrets remained in the dice before Chu Yuan!
He calmly placed a thousand-yuan chip on the “1 triple” bet.
“Place your bets! Rolling the dice—three ones, triple!”
When the three dice showed triple ones, Chu Yuan smiled.
The payout on a triple bet was 24 to 1. His 3,000 yuan instantly became 72,000 yuan!
“Kid, your luck’s amazing! How did you even hit that?”
A wealthy-looking man nearby couldn’t help but give Chu Yuan a thumbs-up.

Chu Yuan smiled and said, “That’s just beginner’s luck. This is only the beginning!”
“Keep going!”
He placed all his winnings on the “2 triple” bet.
“Kid, you’re betting on triples again? You’re just giving money to the house!”
People around shook their heads and sighed.
Chu Yuan smiled sheepishly and said nothing, focusing intently on the Sic Bo game.
“Bets placed! Rolling the dice!”
At the moment the dice were revealed,
Chu Yuan subtly tapped the table.
Suddenly,
the three dice inside the cup seemed to take on a magical quality…
They all transformed into three twos!
“Three twos!”
The dealer was shocked!
How could it be so coincidental?
Once again, a small player hit the triple bet?
72,000 yuan multiplied by 24 times!
Chu Yuan’s 70,000 yuan instantly turned into 1.72 million!
The crowd erupted in astonishment!
“This kid’s a genius!”
“Three thousand yuan turned into 1.72 million in just two rounds! Incredible! He’s my idol!”
“I wonder what he’ll bet on next? Will he stop, or keep going?”
Amid the crowd’s exclamations,
Chu Yuan smiled and placed all his chips on the “3 triple” bet.
The dealer suddenly snapped to attention, realizing he was facing a formidable player today.
Without showing it, the dealer proceeded to shake the dice.
“I don’t believe you can hit this one again!”
Determined to cheat this time,
the dealer hesitated.
Even if he didn’t cheat, it was impossible for Chu Yuan to win again.
How could three triples come up consecutively?
At the moment the dice cup was revealed…
the dealer’s heart trembled!
He thought he saw Chu Yuan tap the table again…
His heart seemed to leap into his throat!
Yet,
when he saw the three dice all show threes,
he felt as if the world was spinning!
Triple threes, indeed!
1.72 million multiplied by 24 times!
Instantly becoming 41 million!
With that,
the entire casino erupted!
Three thousand yuan turned into 41 million in just three rounds??
Had a gambling god descended?
Chu Yuan instantly became the center of attention throughout the casino!
