The Seventh Base - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Betting on One’s Life

Xu Mo seemed to have noticed something and raised his head to take a look. He then immediately saw that man in glasses. This man’s gaze made Xu Mo feel very uncomfortable as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake.

The other party also saw Xu Mo looking toward him and broke into a smile. However, his smile gave one the shivers.

“His name is Cobra. You killed his subordinates before,” Ye Qingdie whispered next to Xu Mo’s ear.

Hearing this, Xu Mo’s pupils contracted and he withdrew his gaze.

“Sister Die, if we continue, I fear that there might be trouble,” Xu Mo said next to Ye Qingdie’s ear.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Ye Qingdie was very confident. “We’re waiting for someone. Help me to win against him.”

Only after hearing Ye Qingdie’s words did Xu Mo instantly understand that her goal in coming to the gambling den wasn’t just to earn federal coins.

However, since she wasn’t afraid of getting into trouble, she should have the means of getting away safely.

Many people came down from upstairs, and the guy with the gold-wire glasses was also standing by the gambling table, smiling as he looked at Xu Mo.

At this moment, a man in black clothes and a black hat walked over from the crowd. When the people saw him, they immediately made way for him, and a series of commotions broke out around the gambling den.

“Senior Apprentice Brother!” The guy with the gold-wire glasses called out at the black-clothed guy.

Many people were also looking downward from upstairs. At this moment, the gambling table Xu Mo was at became the center of attention in the huge gambling den.

“Tang Sen, a gambling expert, has the title of Dice King. Specializes in hunting and killing experts.” Ye Qingdie embraced Xu Mo’s arm, and her mouth almost stuck against Xu Mo’s ear. She spoke in an extremely soft voice, “He possesses origin energy and can change other people’s dice. Are you confident? If not, we’ll retreat right away.” Her main target for coming to the gambling den this time around was Tang Sen.

Xu Mo nodded gently. Being able to see through dice and change them with psychokinesis, he was invincible on the gambling table.

“Let’s play a round?” Tang Sen asked Xu Mo.

“What’s the bet?” Xu Mo asked.

“All of your federal coins, her, and one of your hands,” Tang Sen said to Xu Mo.

“Vicious!” commented the people nearby immediately. Not only did Tang Sen want Xu Mo’s federal coins, but he also wanted that s*xy lady, as well as one of Xu Mo’s hands.

Was he seeking revenge for his junior apprentice brother?

Xu Mo frowned as if hesitating. Next to him, the guy with the gold-wire glasses smiled and said, “If Mister Hunter doesn’t dare, we can lower the bet. For example, we can bet on just federal coins and the woman.”

After that, sneering laughter directly rang out around them.

Xu Mo didn’t answer immediately but looked toward Ye Qingdie. He had no right to use Ye Qingdie as his gambling chip.

When Ye Qingdie saw Xu Mo’s gaze, she understood his intention and asked smiling, “Can you win?”

“I won’t lose,” Xu Mo answered.

“Then we’ll bet.” Ye Qingdie looked toward Tang Sen and asked, “What are you going to bet?”

She had reminded Xu Mo of Tang Sen’s means, but Xu Mo was still insistent. Hence, she chose to believe him.

“Double the federal coins,” Tang Sen replied.

“Add one of your hands as well,” Ye Qingdie said. Tang Sen then stared at her. “So greedy?”

Xu Mo’s bet was 150,000 federal coins. Although this woman was beautiful, twice the amount of federal coins in addition to one hand… Was she worth 150,000? This wasn’t a small amount.

“You don’t dare?” Ye Qingdie sneered.

sne

Immediately, booing sounds rang out around them. To think that the Dice King was held in contempt by a woman for being cowardly?

“Alright.” Tang Sen then stared at Ye Qingdie with an evil smile in his gaze. He was already thinking of how he was going to deal with Ye Qingdie after winning.

After saying that, he took out thirty notes that were worth 10,000 federal coins, pushing them to the attendant.

“Can you guarantee that the bet will be carried out smoothly?” Ye Qingdie looked at the attendant and asked, causing the latter to be stunned and look at Tang Sen. The attendant seemed a little hesitant.

“Of course.” When this voice rang out, the crowd immediately made a path.

“Master Qin.”

“Master Qin is here.” Everyone started greeting him. At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared in front of the gambling table and said to Ye Qingdie, “In the gambling den, any bet can be carried out smoothly.”

After saying that, he walked toward the attendant and said, “Let me do it.”

The attendant made way.

“Brother Tang, I haven’t seen you play for very long. How about me being a witness for you?” Qin Zhong smiled at Tang Sen and said, “I can earn some tips while I’m at it.”

“Master Qin must be kidding. Since that’s the case, we’ll be troubling Master Qin,” replied Tang Sen. He didn’t mind who was the one to do the job.

“Mister Hunter, I’m the person in charge of the fighting arena and the gambling den, and I have seen Mister Hunter’s fight previously. It was very exciting,” Qin Zhong said to Xu Mo. Hearing this, Xu Mo nodded.

This person mustn’t be underestimated considering that he could be in charge of the gambling den and the fighting arena. However, he looked a little dignified and polite, seemingly a little out of place considering the gambling den’s atmosphere. Qin Zhong checked the dice cups and dice once again. After that, he pushed them toward Tang Sen and Xu Mo respectively. He then said, “Please!”

The people around the gambling table immediately became a lot quieter. At this moment, many people were crowded around here, and the ones upstairs were probing their heads out to look down. It was a gamble with a total of 450,000 federal coins on the line. In the Subterranean World, 450,000 coins could buy many lives.

Moreover, one of Tang Sen’s hands was on the line, and Qin Zhong was the attendant for this bet.

This Hunter, who had only made a few appearances, was really gutsy.

Both Xu Mo and Tang Sen stared at each other. They then picked up the dice cups concurrently and started shaking them. Everyone around was staring at their hands, while some experts perked their ears to listen.

Many people here were well-experienced gamblers. However, at this moment, even they were a little nervous.

Xu Mo was the first to put down the dice cup, and the instant the dice cup landed, he moved his hand away. The rule of the gambling den was that after the dice cup was placed down, one’s hands mustn’t touch the gambling table anymore.

Seeing this, Qin Zhong smiled and looked at Xu Mo. He already knew what Xu Mo’s points were.

On the other hand, Tang Sen revealed a brutal smile to Xu Mo. The moment Xu Mo put down his dice cup, he put down his as well.

In this instance, an invisible energy wave moved along the gambling table, causing Xu Mo’s dice that hadn’t stopped to roll a little.

Xu Mo instantly squinted his eyes. He sensed ‘origin energy’, but there were no tremors on the table.

He had rolled out the largest point possiblethree sixes.

However, at this moment, all three dice were changed into two, three, and five!

After that, Tang Sen’s hands left the gambling table. His dice were five, six, and six respectively. It should have been three sixes, but the instant they landed, one of the dice rolled a little, becoming a five. It was a minor mistake.

Tang Sen didn’t know that this wasn’t his mistake. He should have gotten three sixes.

However, this didn’t influence the results.

The dice cups had been placed and everything was decided.

Now, Tang Sen’s gaze when looking at Xu Mo had additional hints of brutality. He then took a look at the s*xy Ye Qingdie, already thinking about some wonderful things.

Ye Qingdie felt a little disgusted by Tang Sen’s gaze. She was also feeling a little nervous even though she had reminded Xu Mo that the opponent could change the dice. However, since Xu Mo still had confidence after finding out about this, he should be able to do it.

Despite this, she felt a little nervous. If Xu Mo were to lose, things would be a lot more troublesome.

“Who’s going to open first?” Qin Zhong looked at the two of them and asked.

“Master Qin, please hold on.” Tang Sen looked toward Xu Mo and asked, “Shall we raise the bet?”

“What do you want to add?” Xu Mo asked.

“Your life,” Tang Sen replied, his gaze gleaming with a murderous gleam.

Next to him, the guy with the gold-wire glasses smiled as he watched everything. His gaze when looking toward Xu Mo also had a hint of brutality in them.

“You’re also going to bet your life?” Xu Mo asked.

“Mn.” Tang Sen nodded.

“Alright,” Xu Mo answered. The gambling den was instantly thrown into a commotion. This was really crazy.

Was he courting death? To think that he’d dare to bet his life against Tang Sen.

Tang Sen was the Dice King in the gambling den. He specialized in going after experts.

“Master Qin, please,” said Tang Sen.

Qin Zhong nodded and then revealed Tang Sen’s points.

Five, six, six. Xu Mo would only be able to win if he were to get three sixes.

Some experts knew that Xu Mo was doomed.

At this moment, Cobra, who was upstairs, looked at Xu Mo with a hint of a cold smile in his gaze. It seemed that he didn’t have to make a move personally. Tang Sen was his cooperative partner, and he naturally knew of Tang Sen’s gambling skills.

Qin Zhong also looked at Xu Mo. At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on Xu Mo’s dice cup.

However, Xu Mo didn’t look at it and looked toward Tang Sen instead. He saw the eerie smile on Tang Sen’s face, as if the latter was looking at a dead man.

“Mister Hunter, I’ll be opening it,” said Qin Zhong. He then reached out his hand. Under many gazes, he revealed Xu Mo’s dice cup.

Many eyes in the gambling den were staring at it.

Boom… At the instant Qin Zhong revealed the results, the gambling den was instantly thrown into a commotion.

Xu Mo had gotten three sixes.

Exciting!

To think that the Dice King Tang Sen had slipped!

Even the people upstairs were thrown into a commotion, with everyone discussing amongst themselves.

On the other hand, the gaze of the guy with the gold-wire glasses was in disbelief.

“This is impossible!” Tang Sen’s countenance instantly turned ghastly pale.

“Brother Tang Sen, you’ve lost.” Qin Zhong looked toward Tang Sen and smiled. As the person in charge of the gambling den, he had nothing to do with the win or loss.

“He cheated!” Tang Sen stared at Xu Mo and said, “He must have cheated!”

“Brother Tang Sen should know about the gambling den’s rules more clearly than I do,” replied Qin Zhong.

Cheating?

Didn’t Tang Sen cheat?

According to the gambling den’s rules, it wasn’t considered cheating as long as one wasn’t caught doing so.

Hence, Tang Sen got up and kicked the gambling table, knocking it toward Xu Mo’s body while he wanted to flee.

“Bang, bang, bang!!!” Gunshots rang out and Tang Sen, who had wanted to flee, was hit in the head, falling to the ground.

The first slip that the Dice King made cost him his life.

Xu Mo then looked at the machine above his head and stood up. Seeing this, Ye Qingdie quickly kept the money and gave Qin Zhong a 10,000 coins tip.

“Thank you,” Qin Zhong smiled and said.

“Let’s go.” After putting away the money, Ye Qingdie pulled Xu Mo and headed out. The crowd made way for them, with many pairs of eyes staring at Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie. They had 450,000 federal coins on them, and this was enough to drive all gamblers crazy!

Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie were constantly stared at by countless pairs of eyes while they walked out of the gambling den. Everyone there knew that they had 450,000 federal coins on them!

However, the two of them didn’t say anything. Both of them were clear about what they were going to face. Ye Qingdie probably had a plan for this.

After they left the gambling den, many people followed after them. Ye Qingdie then pulled Xu Mo’s arm, making Xu Mo stop and look at her. After that, he saw Ye Qingdie bending over and taking off her high heels.

Holding onto her high heels in her right hand, Ye Qingdie smiled at Xu Mo. She then threw her high heels hard toward the back and pulled him, saying, “Run!”

Xu Mo: “??”

This was what you meant by leaving things to you?!!
