Chapter 730: Chapter 90: Coincidence Is Part of Luck
"Mr. Chen Dubei, I think our conversation might come to an end here."
Shang Jianyue’s gaze narrowed slightly as he spoke calmly.
He raised his hand, and the subordinates running from afar were enveloped in the sand table game.
The sound of the subordinate’s voice only then reached their ears.
Seeing Shang Jianyue’s display of skill, Chen Dubei squinted slightly, a playful smile on his face.
"Lord Shang, everything has been thoroughly investigated!"
"I urgently contacted the Lifespan Coin System department, and with their assistance, we finally discovered."
"Chen Dubei’s account is a black account, bound by him using special means!"
A black account, not a VIP.
This immediately changed the situation.
"This barrier of your virtual game is quite interestingly designed."
Despite the situation, Chen Dubei still had leisure to examine other things.
"If I’m not mistaken, it should have a final win condition to determine victory or defeat."
"Can you tell me what the condition is for determining the winner?"
Shang Jianyue stared at Chen Dubei, trying to discern other emotions on his face, but found none.
Chen Dubei maintained his mocking smile.
"Of course." Shang Jianyue withdrew his gaze. "The victory condition for the dice game is when one party’s assets reach zero."
"And you will very soon be brought to zero."
As a black account, the Lifespan Coin System department would quickly act to confiscate all of his "illegally obtained" lifespan coins.
As such, Chen Dubei’s assets would inevitably be reduced to zero.
This was Shang Jianyue’s second line of preparation.
"Splendid, splendid." Chen Dubei couldn’t help but applaud as he heard this.
"Finally, after so many years, there are some interesting figures emerging in the cosmos."
"Utilizing my character flaws, designing a gamble, using power and talent to create a barrier, investigating my identity truth..."
Every move in Shang Jianyue’s series of strikes was deadly, each one hitting its mark with precision without surprise.
"Unfortunately... none of them caused any harm." Chen Dubei suddenly grinned and said.
As he smiled, outside the gambling arena, another subordinate appeared hurriedly, rushing directly towards them.
Shang Jianyue had a bad premonition.
He raised his hand, enveloping this subordinate within the barrier as well.
The subordinate’s panicked voice immediately rang out: "Lord Shang, it’s over!"
Shang Jianyue: "..."
"Just now, the Lifespan Coin System department sent the latest message, saying they made a mistake!"
"Made a mistake? What do you mean?"
"Upon careful re-examination, they found Chen Dubei’s account is indeed a VIP account, not a black account!"
"That’s impossible." Shang Jianyue said in a deep voice.
On the brink of delivering the final blow, events took a turn; he looked up at Chen Dubei, realizing that the latter seemed to have anticipated this all along.
"Chen Dubei disappeared for over a hundred and fifty years, he couldn’t possibly be a Paradise VIP, nor could he gain a VIP status."
"That’s right, but the time the VIP account was issued was a hundred and sixty years ago."
The subordinate’s answer made Shang Jianyue’s heart skip a beat.
It seemed like he realized something, and suddenly looked up.
"A hundred and sixty years ago, Paradise sent a VIP invitation to the then-renowned Lucky Gambler, Chen Dubei."
"However, at that time, Chen Dubei did not choose to accept the invitation to attend the Pure Beauty Paradise event, and the matter was left at that."
"But ten years ago, Paradise updated its rules, and according to Paradise Rule 9310, any VIP who ever received an invitation in history would permanently retain VIP status!"
"Because it was a new regulation, the Lifespan Coin System department hadn’t recorded it into the system, leading to the initial misjudgment."
So, because Chen Dubei received a VIP invitation a hundred and sixty years ago, and because Paradise’s rules had just happened to be updated ten years ago.
He was no longer a Paradise black account, but a genuine Paradise VIP!
And because of the Lifespan Coin System department’s misjudgment, my entire plan was exposed, putting me in a completely passive situation!
Everything was connected in a coincidental manner, finally presenting itself before me.
Damn rules, damn VIPs!
In his heart, Shang Jianyue couldn’t help but curse.
"So, can we continue our gamble?"
Chen Dubei, who had not spoken all this time, leaned forward slowly, speaking mockingly.
"Coincidence is also a part of luck."
The situation had turned disadvantageous.
Currently, in the dice game, Chen Dubei’s total asset value had reached 126w Lifespan Coins.
As the banker, Shang Jianyue’s total assets amounted to 582w Lifespan Coins, which was the entirety of the circulating Lifespan Coins held by the gambling arena he represented.
It could be said that Shang Jianyue had wagered everything in this dice game.
But now, he was highly likely to lose it all.
"The chips in my hands are growing larger, Mr. Shang Jianyue."
"Do you have a way to turn the tables?"
Chen Dubei continued to taunt at this moment.
This was his mischievous pleasure.
He enjoyed watching others give their all, only to realize they still couldn’t achieve victory, facing despair.
Only in this way could the fruits of victory become sweeter and more delicious, even more exhilarating!
Both of Shang Jianyue’s plans had completely collapsed.
The subordinates around him had already begun to show despair.
"Will we... win?" One of the subordinates couldn’t help but murmur.
"We will win."
Suddenly, a voice echoed beside them.
At this moment, both subordinates, Chen Dubei, and Shang Jianyue all simultaneously looked toward the direction of the voice.
There, two figures appeared.
Seeing the figures, Shang Jianyue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Zhan had arrived.
If there was anyone who could make the proud Shang Family Ancestor submit, it was only the rocket-like Han Zhan who unified Blue Star.
For Shang Jianyue, whatever challenge he couldn’t handle, Han Zhan could definitely resolve; this was trust.
"Sorry for being a bit late."
Han Zhan and Luo Qiuhong entered the dice game, and Han Zhan nodded to Shang Jianyue as a greeting.
"Oh? More help?"
"But it’s useless, no amount of help could defeat me in a gamble."
"There never was, and there never will be!"
Chen Dubei arrogantly laughed.
His laughter didn’t last long.
Because a flash of a sword suddenly appeared in front of him, abruptly halting his laughter, forcing him to lean back, dodging the unexpected attack.
"Dare you strike at me?!"
"I am a Paradise VIP, dare you violate Paradise rules?!"
"Correction." Han Zhan interrupted him. "The rule you mentioned only applies to Paradise staff, not to other VIPs of Paradise."
"She and I are also Paradise VIPs."
"A battle between VIPs, Paradise can attempt to mediate, but it does not violate any rules."
"Now, do you have any other questions?"
