The new gambler continued walking.
For a second, nothing happened.
Then a call came.
His empty space started ringing loudly.
He opened his empty space and took his phone out of it.
He picked the call and said, "Who are you?"
Kuou Shen Yin said, "I have made a new game. I know it seems bad to play the games of the immortal. I am hosting it right now. You can come. So basically, let me tell you how to play it and everything. First, you have 10 types of wood. First wood, the number 1 wood is small. Number 2 wood is little big but bigger than the wood number 1. Wood number 3 is also a little big but in the size map, it is bigger than number 3. Then the number 5 is bigger than the number 4. The first thing what it is called, what we call very big. Then the sixth one is the... So, very big, but it is bigger than a number 5, and the number 7 is extremely big, and it is bigger than the previous number, and now the 8th wood number is bigger than the 7th wood number, and that is what we call too big. Right, the number 9 is very, very, very extremely superly big, the 10th is bigger than anything, this wood is very extremely superly godly big. So, you can list the small numbers, and if, example, you do wood number 3, the opponent does wood number 5, you win. Would you like to participate in the game?"
Ril replied, "Yes, give me the location."
Kuou Shen Yin sent it.
Ril opened his phone, then saw the location.
The link was in Google Maps, so he gave in it and looked how close he was.
It was the same place where the game of the immortal was.
He walked and walked, then opened the door and entered the game.
A servant said, "Welcome to the game called Wood Gambling Game, also known as gambling for wood. So, he might not explain you something. Let me say it. The thing what he cannot said would be these things. You put, you bet for money. In the first round, you do a random move, then bet for money. The other also needs. That is the only thing what he might not explain or a name. His Highness might not explain."
Ril said, "Okay," and came in.
He saw many gamblers around him.
There was a girl smoking.
It was his enemy.
The girl looked at Ril, black t-shirt, black pants, and green eyes. White hair.
The girl was a changer.
That was looking like a superstar.
Because also looking like a top bodybuilder and rich from his golden shoes.
The girl stopped for a second, then she continued smoking.
Ril took out an alcohol bottle from his empty space.
It was very cold.
It was so cold, it was making the air nearby get cold.
And Ril just casually drank it.
This was looking like ice, but it was water.
No, it was even colder than ice, but it was water because it's an alcohol.
Ril drank, then he put the cap back, then put it back on the empty space.
The empty space was the one making it cold, like a fridge.
The game begins.
Ril looked shocked, then he placed one hundred thousand money on the board.
The girl threw her cigarette on the ground, then smiled.
The girl pushed one hundred and seventy thousand money on the board.
In the first, Ril takes the board number five, because it was the best one yet.
Meanwhile, the girl didn't want to waste the bigger wood just yet, but she then.
Then the girl will lose 170,000 money if Ril does not lose.
The girl still grabbed wood number 3.
Then the girl placed it at the board.
After a second, Ril turned around and instantly without seeing, Ril put wood number 5.
The girl nodded.
Wood number 5 and wood number 3 is a different.
Ril pointed at the girl.
Then he said, "You know what to do."
The girl said, "Yes, I know."
The girl threw 170,000 money on Ril's face.
But before it was going to land on Ril's face, Ril caught it and also took his own 100,000 money.
Then, after combining and counting the money, he slowly put it at his empty space, but not the same one where he put his alcohol.
He put it somewhere else.
The wood was big.
Then both took the wood and threw it at the trash can, because it was eliminated.
This trash can didn't hold actual trash, but this was a box where all the wood gathered every round they do.
After the game was over, everyone gets their wood and everything, they take back those woods and they place it at this trash can, taking it down and using this.
Using the slipster, round one was over.
Ril won it.
The second round begins without wasting and second.
Just in the starting, both start calculating.
The girl thinks, if the girl puts the and higher numbers, that would be lost, then what's their best?
The girl thinks, and...
After thinking, there was an answer.
The girl will put 700,000 money on the board, because the girl will do the eighth number.
Put number eight, then the girl puts 700,000 money on the board.
Seeing that, Ril starts thinking.
The girl is confident for this one.
Her expression looks like the girl is overconfident on this.
So, the girl will do probably like a high number, like wood number six, wood number seven, or wood number eight, or wood number nine.
The girl won't go to wood number 10 because in the starting, the girl was playing soft, accusing three and totally lost the round one.
So, the girl wants and revenge Ril.
Knows he cannot even place so higher number because that will be saved later.
So, he will do probably wood number 2 when the girl will waste and bigger numbers like that.
The girl will crush the round.
But that's why the new gambler is not placing so much money.
Ril places her tea money on the board, nothing else, 30.
Nothing a little higher.
And you cannot change if you are already best, you have to play the round.
Slowly and slowly, when the girl looks, Ril only placed 30 money when she placed 700,000 money on the board.
Her expression changes.
The girl's face turns pale in an instant, and the girl cannot change the bet what she just did.
The girl starts slowly regretting to do the first, but her hearts didn't change from just shocking part.
The girl placed wood number eight on the board and at the same time, Ril placed wood number three on the board.
The girl totally crushed that round but the girl wasted and big number four.
Only thirty money.
She took the thirty money and her seven hundred thousand money.
She placed it at her empty space.
The girl stared at Ril.
Ril had not said anything.
He met his the third and the girl either.
Round three begins.
There will be ten rounds each.
In the starting of the round three, without hesitation, the girl placed her 300 money on the board.
She laughed loudly.
Nobody answered.
Ril this time was going to win, but they forgot to eliminate.
Ril said, "We forgot to eliminate."
The girl instantly nodded.
She placed her wood number eight on the trash can.
Ril put three on the trash can.
Then Ril placed seventeen hundred thousand money on the board.
They both stared at each other.
For a second, no one said nothing.
They continued staring at each other.
Then Ril and the girl placed wood number seven at the board.
The girl placed wood number two on the board.
They waited at the exact same time.
Ril took the 300,000 money.
Lift it on his empty face, then start walking away.
Nobody stopped him.
The match wasn't over yet.
But Ril had never played games seriously.
He never took it seriously.
He just walked and got out.
This was likely and Sabbath.
But in reality, it was not.
Ril walked out of the place.
Meanwhile, Gu Yanshu looked around the kid's set.
"Yeah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
Then his face turned pale.
Everyone launched out of the base of the great ship.
This formed. into the same road.
Nobody said anything.
Then Dragon Moon said, "We escaped it. That was incredible. Anyways, who did it?"
Po Jun Zing says, "I don't know."
Gu Yanshu says, "Not me."
Qu Yaoyang says, "Not me either."
Lan Wege says, "I don't know, but it was not me."
Qiu Weiran says, "That was sudden. I don't know who was it. Not me."
He Mulin says, "Me either."
Bao Yuan says, "I do not know. Not me either."
Dragon Moon says, "Also not me either. means that was a sudden behavior by the system, but that was good for us. Our main plan indeed."
Then, the first blacker, the second blacker, the third blacker, the fourth blacker, and the fifth blacker start walking away.
Then the deadly travelers too, Po Jun Zing too, and finally Dragon Moon also.
Everyone start walking away.
No one stopped.
No one rushed.
No one screamed.
They just walked.
They walked and walked.
Then Gu Yanshu started going to random places again, running.
Just because Gu Yanshu was running, everyone starts ready to following Gu Yanshu.
Gu Yanshu starts running fast and starts getting unseeable.
The deadly travelers follow him at the same speed.
No one questioned why.
They just walked, run, actually.
Running and running, Gu Yanshu stopped.
He started heavily breathing.
The others too.
Gu Yanshu and the deadly travelers stood up at the same time.
They were in area 917, north side.
It was snow, just five meters away, but there was not snow in these five meters.
It was only snow in there.
Gu Yanshu opened the empty space and took out his beard.
Then Gu Yanshu slowly raised it and said, "We are here."Gu Yanshu walked into area 917, north side.
The snow covered almost everything around him.
Cold air moved through the streets slowly.
Gu Yanshu already had his blade in his hand.
His footsteps crushed the snow beneath him as he walked forward calmly.
Then Gu Yanshu saw the emperor girl being chased by a monster.
The monster was large and fast.
Its body was covered with dark fur and sharp claws.
Zia Ji Sheng ran across the snow while breathing heavily.
Her black soft hair moved behind her.
She wore a golden dress and diamond slippers, looking like someone from a royal family of area 917, north side.
Gu Yanshu looked at her for a second.
Then he instantly moved.
The monster rushed toward Zia Ji Sheng.
At the same second, Gu Yanshu appeared beside it and sliced the monster apart with one clean attack.
Blood scattered across the snow.
The monster's body fell into the ground instantly.
Then Gu Yanshu calmly stood there talking to Zia Ji Sheng.
Meanwhile, Bao Yuan looked around and said, "What a joke. Why is there snow all around me?"
Then Bao Yuan looked toward Gu Yanshu.
Gu Yanshu had disappeared from where he was standing before.
Bao Yuan looked forward again and saw Gu Yanshu slicing the monster.
After slicing it, Gu Yanshu started talking to Zia Ji Sheng.
Bao Yuan instantly jumped upward.
He moved through the air and kicked toward Gu Yanshu's head.
Gu Yanshu blocked the attack immediately.
Then Gu Yanshu grabbed Bao Yuan and slammed him into the ground many times.
The snow exploded upward around them.
Then Gu Yanshu looked at Bao Yuan and said, "I see."
That was all he said.
Nothing else.
Zia Ji Sheng slowly looked at Gu Yanshu and said, "Thanks for saving my life. I owe you a big favor."
Gu Yanshu looked at Zia Ji Sheng.
He did not say anything.
Then Gu Yanshu started following her.
Zia Ji Sheng took him toward a house covered in snow.
For a second, Gu Yanshu thought it looked like a mansion.
A real large one.
But after entering inside, all he saw was old wood.
There were almost no valuables.
The ground was dusty.
Large stairs stood inside the mansion, but they were old and damaged.
Zia Ji Sheng said quietly, "This was my father's house. Before dying, he gave this place to me."
Qu Yaoyang, Lan Wege, Qiu Weiran, He Mulin, and won tai were already at the house.
Gu Yanshu looked toward two boxes near a bed.
He pointed at them and asked, "What are those?"
Zia Ji Sheng replied, "My father left both of those boxes."
She pointed at the red box first.
"In there is a sword capable of hurting a very powerful being. That being once fought against three hundred thousand soldiers. All of them charged attacks strong enough to slice an entire mountain apart together. That attack was called the Earth Base."
Zia Ji Sheng's eyes slowly narrowed.
"Not even a scratch happened to him. But the sword inside that red box was able to hurt him."
Gu Yanshu looked at the red box and said, "Interesting."
Then he looked toward the blue box.
"But what about that blue box?"
Zia Ji Sheng replied, "Inside the blue box are two knives capable of hurting another powerful being."
"He is weaker than the first one, but still a powerful opponent."
"That is all about it."
She looked toward the blue box quietly.
"These knives could still injure that powerful being."
"Both of those powerful beings are still alive."
"They are ruling over the north side of area 917."
Gu Yanshu looked at her and asked, "Still inside area 917?"
Zia Ji Sheng nodded slowly.
"Yes. Area 917 is too large for a normal town."
The room became quiet.
Snow hit softly against the windows outside.
Then Zia Ji Sheng spoke again.
"As repayment for saving my life, I can give you the sword inside the red box."
Gu Yanshu answered simply.
"Thanks."
He walked toward the red box.
Gu Yanshu picked it up and slowly opened it.
Inside was an ancient sword.
The blade looked extremely sharp.
Even the air around it felt dangerous.
Gu Yanshu picked up the sword slowly.
Then he raised it.
"This is what I need."
Then suddenly, Gu Yanshu opened the door.
Cold wind instantly rushed into the mansion.
Snow entered from outside.
After opening the door, Gu Yanshu unleashed the sword.After Gu Yanshu unleashed the sword, he swung it once.
The swing succeeded, but it was so strong that the snow on the ground melted into water.
The cold white ground turned wet.
Then the ground finally showed through.
The force was so heavy that Gu Yanshu almost dropped the sword, but he instantly grabbed it back.
His hand turned black.
Then he started swinging again.
After he continued, the sword stopped moving for a second.
Then a big explosion happened.
It was like a small nuclear blast.
It exploded across three hundred meters nearby.
It was extremely big, but it did not reach the house.
Meanwhile, Zia Ji Sheng came outside.
Then she ran and looked at Gu Yanshu.
Gu Yanshu was still focused on training, blasting many meters nearby with every swing.
Gu Yanshu looked backward.
Then he saw Zia Ji Sheng.
Without wasting any time, Zia Ji Sheng said, "You are also not looking like a beginner. After that big explosion, you managed to survive. That confirms you are not a beginner. Beginners could not even hold this sword because it has all the energy, but you are holding and swinging it. That only means you are experienced with another sword."
Gu Yanshu wielded his old blade, put it back into the empty space, and said, "So you were watching me the whole time?"
Zia Ji Sheng said, "Indeed, but not fully. A guest came yesterday looking for you. I cannot imagine just a new helper died holding this sword. Do you want to hear my father's past?"
Gu Yanshu replied, "No, not yet."
Meanwhile, Won Tai was sleeping in her bed.
She was extremely big, standing eighteen meters tall, and the bed was standing thirty meters tall, as this was a mansion and it could handle their weight and their size.
Then an alarm started ringing.
The alarm was low.
Won Tai instantly woke up.
She had already broken the alarm many times before.
It had become a habit.
Won Tai opened her door, then started walking.
At the stairs, Qu Yaoyang looked up and saw the big shadow.
Qu Yaoyang instantly went into a fighting mood.
Then Won Tai said, "Where is she?"
Qu Yaoyang instantly thought, She was not unannounced.
Then he said, "I don't know."
Won Tai said, "I understand that, but who are you anyway? The disciples of the clock family?"
Won Tai questioned herself and the clock family.
She fell into a deep thought.
Meanwhile, Gu Yanshu said, "I don't need it yet. I am getting busy with work right now. You can tell me the story another time. If I say right now, no, not yet."
Zia Ji Sheng said, "I should not be too rude to a girl who saved my life. So I will go."
The amplifier gun struck once.
Gu Yanshu continued his training.
His hand was still black, without gloves.
Gu Yanshu swung it strongly.
That was one.
At first, it did nothing.
Then, after just a second, the whole area was blasted.
Not the full area, only around seven hundred to eight hundred meters.
Gu Yanshu's body dropped.
He became unconscious.
Meanwhile, Won Tai kept thinking.
She saw someone opening the door.
It was Zia Ji Sheng.
Zia Ji Sheng said, "You are awake?"
Won Tai said, "Indeed, I have—"After three hours, Gu Yanshu opened his eyes.
His gaze was awake.
He looked at the sword in his hand.
Gu Yanshu said, "Interesting."
He shielded the sword.
Then he started walking.
The door opened.
Won Tai instantly reacted.
"How many people are there?"
Zia Ji Sheng said, "People, stop being rude to the man who saved my life."
The door opened wider.
It was Gu Yanshu.
Won Tai said, "He does not even look as strong as you are saying."
"He is the man who saved your life," she said, laughing loudly.
Won Tai kicked her in the face.
"I said stop saying bad things about him."
Won Tai fell down, still laughing.
Gu Yanshu looked around.
Same things.
Same everything.
Nothing changed.
Same mood.
Gu Yanshu sat on a chair.
Qu Yaoyang, the strongest disciple, stood up and said, "Can I take that blue box?"
Zia Ji Sheng said, "Are you a friend of his?"
Gu Yanshu replied, "Indeed, he is my friend."
Zia Ji Sheng said, "So you can take it."
Won Tai, seeing the strongest sword in history in Gu Yanshu's hand, instantly grabbed Zia Ji Sheng by the face and slowly dropped her to the ground.
Then she rushed at Gu Yanshu and said, "You thief! Give our father's sword back!"
Zia Ji Sheng said, "No. I gave him that sword because he was the only one who could save my life. I do not want to start an argument with you for being rude to everyone, including me, and that is not the behavior you should have. Come on and think."
Won Tai grabbed Zia Ji Sheng and slammed her to the ground multiple times, then threw her into the wall.
She crashed into the wall.
Then Won Tai jumped up, trying to punch her again.
Gu Yanshu said, "Are you both sisters?"
Zia Ji Sheng replied, "Yes, we are. But she was normal until our father died in an execution. After that, she still did not understand anything."
"And if I give away some paintings in this house, ones that are not valuable and extremely insignificant, she always beats me up, saying we have to keep this house in good shape, we cannot give that away, we need to find a worthy man who can do it. It is always the same excuse. She has likely been repeating that pattern for many years. She changed when our father got executed. She cared less about me, and she always remembered our father. Why did he die? She always thought about it in her mind, but no answer ever came."
"She has not changed yet."
Gu Yanshu said, "Okay."
Then Zia Ji Sheng started walking away.
She sat in a chair.
Qu Yaoyang took the blue box, placed it on the ground, and said, "I do not want more violence. If I do this, this whole thing will become more violent, and that is not what I want, even a little. I will place this down for peace."
Qu Yaoyang sat in a chair beside Gu Yanshu.
Meanwhile, Qiu Weiran said, "I do not understand why there is violence when it was supposed to be peaceful."
Bao Yuan replied, "Because it should."
Qiu Weiran asked, "Why should it?"
Bao Yuan replied, "Because it can."
Qiu Weiran said, "What do you mean by that?"
Bao Yuan said, "It should, and it can."
Qu Yaoyang said, "Stop this argument, you two. We just had violence, and for a second we had peace. If you start talking and making violence again, we are not here for violence. Remember that."
Bao Yuan said, "Huh? You are creating that."
Qiu Weiran said, "Enough. He is right. He is saying the truth, but you are pushing him."
Then Qiu Weiran looked at Bao Yuan and asked, "How did you even meet our master?"
Bao Yuan said, "Because it can, and I was not in the same text where that bastard was in."
Qiu Weiran's expression darkened.
"Do not dare call our master that bastard."Bao Yuan said, "No. He is still that bastard."
Gu Yanshu was looking at the situation calmly.
The pattern was normal.
Arguments.
Protecting.
And finally, violence.
Won Tai said loudly,
"You never protect someone that much. Not even our father. Do you love that man?"
Zia Ji Sheng's face instantly turned red.
To hide her embarrassment, she turned around immediately.
Won Tai laughed.
"I cannot see you as a true sister."
"These things are pathetic."
"Make me see you as a sister. A true one."
"Believe in your sister."
"That is why you are protecting him so much."
"You would never protect our own father that much."
"No."
"Turn around."
Nothing happened.
Won Tai said again,
"Turn around."
Gu Yanshu was still looking at the situation.
He did not move.
He stayed completely out of it.
Then Bao Yuan started speaking again.
"Wowwowwow."
"Just love him already."
"After only a few movements, this is already becoming pathetic."
Qu Yaoyang instantly stood up.
"Enough."
"If you continue insulting our master, I will kick you out."
"Or I will kill you right away."
Gu Yanshu stood up calmly.
Then Gu Yanshu slowly stroked Qu Yaoyang's head.
"Do not become aggressive."
"He is only saying what he feels."
"Opinions are artificial."
"Some opinions say I am bad."
"Some opinions say I am good."
"And stop giving warnings to him. Understood?"
Qu Yaoyang's eyes instantly became wet.
"Master…"
"Master…"
"I see now…"
"You are…"
"You are my true master…"
Qu Yaoyang started crying loudly again and again.
Meanwhile, Bao Yuan started clapping repeatedly.
"Wowwowwow."
"One side is embarrassment."
"The other side is a crying adult."
"Wow."
"And this is what all of you call dignity?"
Qiu Weiran instantly jumped upward.
He punched Bao Yuan directly on the face.
"Enough!"
Qiu Weiran grabbed Bao Yuan by the clothes and started slamming him repeatedly.
The floor shook multiple times.
Bao Yuan was about to punch Qiu Weiran back.
But before he could—
Gu Yanshu suddenly appeared beside them.
SLAP.
SLAP.
SLAP.
Gu Yanshu slapped Bao Yuan multiple times.
"That is enough."
Bao Yuan slowly sat back down again.
After that, Bao Yuan stayed completely quiet.
He did not say anything for many minutes.
