Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Based on what he had seen and heard in the first three areas, he had basically figured out the structure of the Gold Rush Casino.

This towering, enormous building actually has only two floors.

More accurately, only two floors are open to the public. The first floor is the work area and basic entertainment area, and the second floor is the VIP entertainment area.

The basic entertainment area is further divided into four square zones, with each zone catering to guests of progressively higher social status, from the first to the fourth.

The first area is the experience and play area, which is specifically open to those who have obtained a few days' pass to visit the inner city. This should be what Bota of the Chamber of Commerce promised Luo Xiu at the beginning.

However, it is already considered luxurious inside, with everything from the decor and furnishings to the escort service. Moreover, as long as you stay in the casino, you can enjoy unlimited food and drinks, as well as free accommodation.

If you win 50 or more coins in the first area, you will receive some unspeakable services as a bonus.

Compared to the first area, the second and third areas are several levels higher in terms of food, decor, and the attractiveness of the companions. There are also some small rooms specifically for people who like to use special alchemical potions to enhance their brain activity.

In the third area, there is a huge venue filled with crazy men and women who are obsessed with worldly affairs. Everywhere you can see couples indulging in their bodies, completely disregarding the opinions of outsiders.

Luo Xiu hadn't entered the fourth area yet, but he could already guess that it would be even more extravagant than the first three areas, because the fourth area was for the casino's VIPs.

Everyone here is a prominent figure in Kanriel, and a single word they utter can have a significant impact.

Luo Xiu guessed that Alger must have been in this area before, but he didn't know if he was still there.

Luo Xiu looked at the gate with the words "Fourth District" engraved on it, then pushed the door open and walked in.

To his surprise, this area was not as crazy as the previous two.

Although you can still see gamblers and their companions openly engaging in lewd acts around some gambling tables, it seems rather rare compared to the scenes in the previous areas.

The fourth area was very quiet. At each gambling table, you could only hear the dealer's voice. Most gamblers were just silently watching their own games.

Is it because his status and position in Kanriel have already reached a certain level, and he has tried everything, so he has lost interest in ordinary entertainment? Luo Xiu wondered.

As Luo Xiu walked further in, he became increasingly certain of his idea.

Because the games at the gambling table gradually became strange and dangerous.

Luo Xiu saw a gambling table where a game similar to Russian roulette from his previous world was being played. A group of masked gamblers were lying face down on the table, and above their heads, a magic circle was slowly rotating.

Whenever the dealer activates the magic, the magic circle spins faster, and a missile is launched at high speed, randomly shooting towards the head of someone on the table.

After that person's head is blown off, the remaining players can choose to take their share of the money on the table or continue the game.

If one person chooses to continue the game, the remaining players can only leave with a small amount of money, and all the money goes to the last person who stays.

The table that Luo Xiu saw started with seven people but eventually had only three left before they all chose to stop gambling and split the 1500 gold coins worth of chips on the table.

500 gold coins per person is neither a lot nor a little for the guests in this area; perhaps they are simply enjoying the thrill of life and death.

The gambling tables in the fourth area were numbered starting from table 560. Luo Xiu identified the number cards on each table and walked towards table 607.

Upon arriving at the gambling table, Luo Xiu immediately spotted the only woman on the table.

The woman's identity surprised him. He had only guessed that it was possible that the person he was supervising was someone he knew, but he didn't expect it to be true.

The woman wore a wooden mask that covered the upper half of her face, while the lower half was painted with colorful patterns, whether from dye or colored clay. She was wearing a high-necked priest's robe.

Elijah.

If Luo Xiu remembers correctly, this is the name of the woman in front of him.

Before the competition began, he tried to harm himself, but in the end, he managed to steal all his valuables and even used a person to exchange for the heart of a stone man.

Luo Xiu was still very impressed by this.

Why is she here?

Luo Xiu became interested and slowly approached.

There were still three people at the gambling table. One of them, a man, sat next to Elijah. He was dressed in all black, with a black robe, black trousers, and black boots. His black hair made his skin appear exceptionally fair.

Luo Xiu glanced at it and felt even more surprised, because the light on this person's body was half blue and half green, belonging to the upper fourth level.

Kanriel had only a handful of young, fourth-tier high-ranking individuals, and this person was clearly a complete stranger.

Is it one of the remaining few? Luo Xiu pondered, feeling it was unlikely.

The person in front of him lacked the madness of the Kanriel people, and his demeanor was inexplicably elegant.

This elegance was natural, with a touch of arrogance; Luo Xiu had only ever seen it in one person.

Hup when we first met.

Of course, you can't tell he has this trait now, but it was very obvious when we first met.

Then Luo Xiu looked at the other side of the gambling table, where two gamblers were also sitting.

Luo Xiu glanced at the gambler on the left and hurried past. He was only a third-rank gambler and wore a noble badge. He looked like an ordinary nobleman who came to the casino to have some fun.

There aren't many chips in front of them, probably only worth two or three hundred gold coins.

But the gambler on the right made Luo Xiu's gaze unusually sharpen.

Because the gambler's aura was mostly cyan.

Another being about to reach the fifth rank.

Luo Xiu quickly concealed the surprise in his eyes and stood behind Elijah as if nothing had happened.

His seemingly empty gaze was still subtly observing the gambler.

It was a man with black hair, dressed in standard aristocratic attire, and with a mole at the corner of his right eye.

Looking at his face, Luo Xiu felt a sense of familiarity.

But searching his memory, he was almost certain that he had never seen the man in front of him before.

He smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that as his rank increased, his memory gradually improved, and he found himself becoming more and more familiar with things.

Beside him at this gambling table, there were two other mushroom monsters standing behind the two gamblers opposite him.

Both mushroom monsters were level three mushroom monsters; one was a red-clothed mushroom monster, and the other was a gold-clothed mushroom monster.

The third-tier golden mushroom monster is a head shorter and thinner than the fourth-tier one, and its facial expression is more rigid.

Using a Tier 3 mushroom monster to monitor that man who is about to break through to Tier 5? Luo Xiu quickly thought of a possibility: the man must have some method to hide his Tier.

What puzzled him even more was why there was no mushroom monster supervising the man in black next to Elijah. Had the mushroom monster supervising him gone to someone else?

"Your Excellency Elijah, is this the best place in Kanriel that you mentioned? To be honest, it doesn't meet my minimum expectations."

The man in black picked up a chip and placed it on the betting area of ​​the table. He spoke slowly, sounding as if he knew Elijah.

Upon hearing this, Elijah's expression changed, and she said respectfully:

"Your Excellency, this is only the first floor; the second floor is where the real fun begins."

"Then why are we still here? Perhaps my friends are right, there is no place more interesting than the capital. I think I shouldn't have come to Kanriel."

The man in black had a magnetic voice, but his overly complicated word choice made his words sound somewhat effeminate.

"No, no, Your Excellency, the second floor here will not disappoint you, please believe me."

Elijah gritted her teeth and looked at the chips in front of her:

"We just need a few more chips to get to the second floor."

She was feeling rather annoyed. The man beside her was from a merchant guild in the capital. Rivers from the Kanriel Merchant Guild had given her a strict order to keep the man company, and had even given her 800 gold coins as a fee.

But even after she took the man on a huge tour of Kanril, he didn't find anything interesting about it.

Left with no other option, she brought the man to the Gold Rush Casino.

To access the second floor of the casino, one must not only be a guest in the fourth zone, but also win 1000 gold coins at the gambling table.

This was no easy task, but she was still quite confident because, as the only high-ranking fourth-level priestess in Kanriel, she possessed a summon that could significantly increase a person's luck.

With an initial capital of 800 gold coins, winning 1000 gold coins is not impossible.

But today, for some reason, every time she won a little, the two opponents would win it all back.

Unlike the other gambling tables in Zone 4, this table was playing a very simple gambling game from the Kingdom of Dorant called Doubling Cards.

This game has no skills or methods; it's purely based on luck.

Am I just having really bad luck today?

She gritted her teeth and bet a small portion of her chips. She couldn't delay any longer; if Gane beside her lost interest and left, she would definitely be punished.

After Rivers paid to buy her back last time, he had always disliked her. If she fails again this time, her position within the organization is likely to decline further.

Lodey... is not without the possibility of advancing to the upper fourth rank.

In addition, the Chamber of Commerce can also spend money to hire other fourth-rank officials. After all, the Chamber of Commerce is different from the Academy and the Knights Order, and does not require everyone to be trained by themselves.

But things didn't go as planned. Soon, as the dealer revealed the cards, her small portion of chips was lost.

That was worth nearly 200 gold coins, which vanished in an instant and went into the pocket of the gambler on the left.

The gambler raised his hand in celebration, clutched the chips to his chest, and prepared to quit while he was ahead.

Seeing this, Elijah panicked. She already had a bad temper, and now that she had lost nearly 200 of her 800 gold coins, and the other party was about to take the money and leave, she was about to explode on the spot.

But a thin, withered hand reached out and pressed down on her shoulder.

"Please be quiet, sit down, hee hee—"

Luo Xiu, in his mushroom-like form, spoke, but this did not deter Elijah in the slightest. Instead, she turned around and glared fiercely at Luo Xiu:

"You really think you're the manager? You think you can stop me?"

director?

Luo Xiu's eyes darted around, a slight thought stirring within him. Sure enough, there were beings stronger than these lower-level fourth-tier mushroom monsters.

A surge of energy erupted from Elijah, and Luo Xiu's hand was pushed away.

He's currently playing the role of a lower-level fourth-tier mushroom monster; if he slaps Elijah down, the performance will be a disaster.

And if this continues, the supervisor that Elijah mentioned will definitely be brought to light, and then it will soon be clear whether he is a mule or a horse.

But the scene Luo Xiu had envisioned did not occur; someone called out to Elijah:

“Your Excellency Elijah, if you continue to behave so rudely, I will be unable to accompany you.”

Upon hearing what Gane said, Elijah's energy instantly weakened and dissipated. She hurriedly explained to Gane:

"I'm so sorry, Your Excellency, I acted impulsively for a moment."
