The man, however, heard Su Xi's rejection and, with no sense of tact, continued, "You two clearly are first-timers here. There's a matter you need to understand."
Mu Ge, adept at handling such naive individuals, immediately posed the question that the other party most wanted to know.
"What matter?"
Seeing the strange expression on Mu Ge's face, Su Xi's expression grew more serious.
This person looked incredibly unreliable, clearly not a good sort at first glance.
Moreover, as Su Xi observed the person before her, she found herself constantly scrutinizing him. For some reason, this man gave her a sense of familiarity.
It was as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Hearing Su Xi's question, Mu Ge smiled and changed the subject. "The rule of this casino is, if you don't gamble, you have no right to be here. You're newcomers, so the first thing you must do is spend money."
"And since we've met, I naturally can't let you leave without making some money."
Hearing the man's words, Su Xi frowned. "So, you know something?" But I'm curious, how did you know so quickly that we are newcomers?"
Since he knew these things, Su Xi wasn't worried and wanted to spend some time learning more.
She was completely unfamiliar with this casino anyway, and since someone had主动 approached her, she naturally needed to understand things thoroughly.
Hearing Su Xi's question, Mu Ge smiled, pointed to a spot high above, and said, "Newcomers like you are obvious at a glance, no need to ask."
Mu Ge smiled, then looked back at Su Xi and continued, "It's because you don't have any gambling aura on you that they don't need to ask. If I hadn't come over, they might have already kicked you out."
"Gambling aura?" Su Xi looked very confused at Mu Ge's words.
What kind of aura was this?
She had never heard of it before.
She only knew of 'fetal aura' and 'baby aura,' but never 'gambling aura.'
Could it be that upon arriving in this world, new terminology had emerged?
However, seeing Ouyang Chu Ge's expression beside her, Su Xi realized that it wasn't that she didn't know, but rather that she wasn't in the know because she wasn't part of this circle.
Seeing Su Xi's confusion, Mu Ge began to explain, "Look at the fervent expressions on every gambler's face. They don't have your rationality."
Given how rational you are now, it's clear you're not normal people.
Su Xi instantly understood Mu Ge's words.
Indeed, their eyes only showed curiosity about these things, not interest in gambling. Therefore, they didn't pay much attention, naturally lacking the common characteristics seen in others.
Others' eyes revealed a kind of madness, wishing they could bet everything they had.
Seeing that Su Xi had understood, Mu Ge then said, "Now that you understand the casino's rules, are you interested in doing a big deal with me?"
The reason he was in this predicament was that he had run out of capital. If he wanted to continue gambling, he could only risk his life. But he cherished his own life greatly, so he wouldn't risk it so easily.
How could he miss such a big "fat sheep" like Su Xi?
Seeing all this, Su Xi suddenly became interested.
She had initially suspected Mu Ge of having ulterior motives, but now she understood his purpose.
However, as long as it involved money, it was a minor matter.
Lin Qing had given them quite a bit of money before they left, so they weren't short of money at the moment.
Su Xi took out a silver note from her person and placed it in Mu Ge's hand, generously saying, "Brother, you're so familiar with this place, are there any profitable ventures you know of? Please tell your little brother, so we can all get rich together."
Only by flattering someone sufficiently could one then make their move.
"Easily said, easily said." Mu Ge took the silver note from Su Xi, his eyes beginning to gleam.
Such a good silver note meant great benefits for him.
With this money, he could make a comeback.
He had initially thought that since Su Xi was a first-timer, she might have a little spare cash. But he hadn't expected that Su Xi's spare cash would be more than he had imagined.
Truly a fat sheep.
This thought immediately crossed Mu Ge's mind.
Thus, after receiving the silver note, Mu Ge became even more enthusiastic in his introduction. "Let me tell you, in about an hour, a life-and-death duel will begin. This match has an extremely high win rate. I'm really counting on one of the participants. If you follow my lead and bet, you won't lose money."
"Then we'll be relying heavily on you, Brother Mu." Su Xi feigned eagerness, looking like a naive son of a wealthy family ready to go all out.
Seeing Su Xi's naive demeanor, Mu Ge became even more certain of his assessment and beckoned her closer. "Follow me quickly, let's go place our bets."
The match was about to begin, so they couldn't miss the time. The casino's rules were very strict, and time could not be missed.
Su Xi followed Mu Ge to the betting area.
Upon seeing the information of the two participants, Su Xi's eyes suddenly sparkled.
Although one of the individuals wasn't named Lin Qing, his appearance was strangely familiar; it was the Lin Qing she had met before.
"I bet on him." Su Xi made her decision without hesitation.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Mu Ge looked surprised. "You know him?"
Lin Qing was an unknown individual. Did Su Xi have some inside information?
He hadn't even revealed his inside information yet, and Su Xi had already made her decision?
A cash cow wouldn't act like this.
Hearing Mu Ge's question, Su Xi shook her head and replied, "I don't know him at all. I just think he looks good. He probably won't be too bad."
Su Xi didn't know Mu Ge's true intentions, so she couldn't reveal her actual thoughts. Therefore, playing dumb was the best option.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Mu Ge felt like refuting her absurd idea. However, he suddenly remembered Su Xi's persona of being foolish but rich, and he swallowed his thoughts.
He needed Su Xi right now, so he had to make good use of her.
Thus, Mu Ge quickly changed his tune and said, "You're right, I also think he's very good. Shall we bet on him together?"
"Okay."
Su Xi nodded, then took out several million taels of silver notes from her person and bet on Lin Qing.
Seeing Su Xi bet such a large sum, the odds immediately shifted.
Witnessing this scene, Mu Ge was overjoyed, knowing he would make a substantial profit this time.
While Su Xi wasn't paying attention, he bet on Lin Qing's opponent. After all, that person had won a lot before, and Lin Qing was just cannon fodder, completely unimportant.
Just as Su Xi finished placing her bet, the life-and-death duel quickly commenced.
In the casino, the most captivating event was the life-and-death duel.
As the name suggests, a life-and-death duel had no rules and no restrictions on combat style. As long as victory could be achieved, any method was permissible.
Furthermore, in this match, only one person could walk out alive; the other would inevitably die.
It was precisely because of the bloody nature of the combat that many people participated.
"Iron-Blooded Prince Longma!"
A shout soon echoed from the crowd, followed by the appearance of a muscular man who elicited cheers from the onlookers.
Longma was a frequent participant in life-and-death duels, having won fifty consecutive matches. Naturally, great expectations were placed upon him.
Seeing Longma appear, Mu Ge's eyes also gleamed. Victory would ultimately belong to them; they had to cherish this moment.
However, even though he knew Longma would win, to appease Su Xi, he quietly whispered, "Don't worry, this guy looks fierce, but he's probably all brawn and no brain. He's not as strong as the next guy. Maybe he'll be a dark horse, and you'll make a huge profit then."
Su Xi knew Mu Ge was trying to comfort her, but she didn't care.
Although she didn't know why Lin Qing was participating in this match, she knew Lin Qing wouldn't do anything without certainty.
Now that Lin Qing had participated, he was bound to win.
Her task was to play the fool and get rich by relying on Lin Qing.
Seeing the certainty on Su Xi's face, Mu Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If a foolishly rich person like this slipped away, it would be hard to find another.
"Jade-Faced Young Dragon Jin Dong" quickly emerged, but as he was unfamiliar, not many people cheered.
However, seeing Jade-Faced Young Dragon Jin Dong in the audience, Su Xi immediately recognized him as Lin Qing. Jin Dong was merely his alias.
When venturing out, one always needed an alias for self-preservation.
Finally seeing Lin Qing, she felt a great sense of relief and was now certain.
With a signal from the referee, Longma leaped into the air and charged towards Lin Qing.
Longma's body rapidly split into two in mid-air, transforming into a giant dragon and a horse, charging down at Lin Qing.
Such a powerful technique was beyond the ability of ordinary people to resist.
With this single move, he had already secured numerous victories.
The crowd, seeing Longma's familiar move, all assumed the outcome would be decided instantly.
A scream soon echoed from the arena, followed by complete silence.
Everyone had expected Lin Qing to fall to the ground, but unexpectedly, Longma was now in two pieces, lying motionless on the ground.
Due to the suddenness of the event, the scene was eerily quiet.
Mu Ge's eyes were about to pop out. Had he lost money?
Su Xi patted Mu Ge's shoulder and said, "Thank you for the recommendation. I've indeed won a lot."
Hearing Su Xi's words, Mu Ge almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Was he recommending her to make money?
But even though he was extremely dissatisfied, he didn't dare to speak. The most important thing for him was not to offend Su Xi.
After all, if he lost everything, he would also lose his "cash cow" Su Xi.
Therefore, Mu Ge put on a smile that was more bitter than a cry and said, "Didn't I tell you? I have another insider tip for you."
"What insider tip?"
Su Xi looked at Mu Ge with anticipation.
