Chapter 304 - 304 Instinctive Planning
304 Instinctive Planning
Incarnation Randy may have no idea what the two casino girls wanted to achieve by clinging to him, but he didn’t like it when people got in the way of his fun.
Incarnation Randy observed their unsightly appearance and coldly said: “How many times did I tell you not to touch me?! Don’t blame me for being rude, then!”
“You’re so mean, esteemed guest! We’re only trying to keep you company!”
The two girls pouted with seductive expressions as they skillfully and gracefully got up from the floor. The two stood there naturally, acting as if they had never fallen in the first place. The other players in the building also pretended that they didn’t see anything.
Incarnation Randy stared at the two casino girls and coldly retorted: “And didn’t I already say that I didn’t need your company?! Please find someone else to mess with and leave me alone! You’re only disrupting my game here!”
The two casino girls were left speechless by Incarnation Randy’s reply. Meanwhile, after bluntly speaking his mind, Incarnation Randy no longer paid them any attention and turned to face the old man.
“Now then, what were you saying again?”
“Fine! Seeing how ruthless you were toward those two beautiful girls, I will trust that you didn’t cheat… for now. However, let’s play one more game. If you win again, I will officially acknowledge you.”
“Not that I need your acknowledgment, but whatever. Let’s play one last game. This time, I will be going all in, so prepare yourself.”
.....
“Hahaha! That’s more like it!”
…
The top floor of the casino.
Inside an office.
The two casino girls from earlier stood in front of a stout middle-aged man, sitting behind his desk and smoking a cigar, reporting to him. Based on his demeanor, he seemed to be the owner of the casino.
The stout middle-aged man took a long drag and then let out a puff of smoke and said: “So you mean to tell me you failed to hook that brat who had been stealing my money nonstop since he stepped foot into my casino? And also, you claim you couldn’t find any storage pouch or ring on him even after searching him? How is that possible? Then, where is he keeping all the money he won?”
“We don’t know either.”
The two casino girls shook their heads, and the one who was the oldest among them said: “He only had on a black coat and a bangle on his wrist. Maybe the bangle is his storage equipment?”
“A bangle?”
The stout middle-aged man pondered and said: “No one had such a design for a storage artifact. However, it’s not impossible for one to get it as a reward from a dungeon. That means he is either a Dungeon Hunter or he stole it from someone else. After all, I haven’t heard of a Dungeon Hunter like him in this city. He must be a newbie, Dungeon Hunter.”
The two casino girls nodded in agreement: “We think so as well.”
“Hmm…”
The stout middle-aged man took another drag of his cigar and then let out a puff of smoke that shaped itself into a human skull before scattering into a mist.
He then instructed: “If that is the case, then I will leave the rest to your discretion. Find him after he leaves and try the peaceful approach to get him to hand over the money he won. In the event that he refuses, eliminate him and bring me his bangle... Don’t forget to bring his black coat with you. From my experience, I think that the black coat would fetch quite a sum of money due to its unique design.”
“Understood, sir!”
The two casino girls bowed their heads and replied solemnly. Then, suddenly, the corners of their lips curled up, revealing the devilish and wicked smiles on their twisted faces.
Earlier, when they searched and couldn’t find any money or an artifact holding the money on Incarnation Randy’s body, they became disappointed. They had no choice but to employ their impeccable charming skills to keep him company. Then, they planned to find an opportunity to prompt him to show them where he was keeping his money.
Incarnation Randy, however, had treated them as if they were nothing but nuisances in front of his eyes. This caused the two of them to become furious, as his actions hurt their pride as the favorite casino girls of every man that visited their establishment.
They planned on exacting their revenge on him, now that they had discovered that he might just be a rookie Dungeon Hunter. In their opinion, he might have been lucky and got his hands on some money to mess around with in the casino. They wanted to torture him like they did most of the arrogant men that wanted to take away all the money they earned. Those men refused to abide by the hidden rules of gambling in their establishment. Therefore, they were dealt with accordingly.
Although their establishment did not require identification in order for their guests to remain anonymous, most of the people who had visited their establishment in the past were poor people in search of ways to make quick money. Even if they were Dungeon Hunters, their ranks were not too troublesome to deal with. With that being the case, the two casino girls were confident in being able to handle the case with Incarnation Randy.
…
At the same time.
Inside the casino room downstairs.
Incarnation Randy was on a winning streak as he beat a few more casino games. He had earned himself a few million gold coins, which had been turned into golden cards for him to carry. For some reason, some of the casino games of Earth, such as poker, were available in Acruxia.
Furthermore, as Randy was someone who used to play games with Jiang Chen, Emilia, and his little brother, Rex, when he was young, he had built up ample knowledge and experience, enough to be able to beat the inexperienced players of Acruxia.
Naturally, Incarnation Randy, who was Randy’s incarnation, certainly had the same extensive knowledge and experience. As a result, he was able to beat everyone he came across in the casino who claimed to be champions in their field.
Although Incarnation Randy should be puzzled by the fact that there were Earth games in Acruxia, that was not his concern as he only cared about making money. After all, he was making millions simply by spending a few thousand gold coins from the money he received from Barian and Zante, the two Holy Knights. That money served as both payment and a catalyst to aid in searching for their captain.
Of course, he never planned on finding their captain since everything he said to them was an elaborate lie he devised on the spot in order to win their trust before he left them for good. As for looking for their captain? He didn’t need to do anything as he already knew where he was and what had happened to him.
As for the repercussions of his actions, he would leave that for his main self to handle since that was the only method he could think of to avoid any unnecessary commotion. With that conclusion, he decided to clear his thoughts and let loose in the casino, completely unaware that he was being monitored by the owner of the establishment.
…
Midnight.
Outside the casino.
Incarnation Randy leisurely stepped out of the casino building with a wide smile on his face. He had amassed a total wealth of 100,000,000 gold coins, which were converted into 100 gold cards, each containing 1,000,000 gold coins.
With the amount of money he had on him, he could get a luxurious inn to stay at. In addition, he could use the remaining money to buy himself a custom gauntlet. He didn’t want to keep using his bare fists to fight his enemies in the future.
…
At the same time.
Inside the Safe Room.
Randy who had synchronized his mind with his Incarnation had witnessed everything he did up until he left the casino and then he fell into deep thought.
Even though it appeared that his incarnation was messing around by visiting the many established streets in the Imperial City, he noticed that his incarnation was not just messing around and that he had his own plans.
The reason why he believed that to be the case was due to how he schemed his way to get the pieces of relevant information from the two Holy Knights, the subordinates of the Holy Knight Captain that he killed. Although he initially hated the incarnation’s idea of approaching them carelessly, he soon realized after seeing the results that his incarnation’s methods were efficient.
Despite the risk that came with the methods employed by his Incarnation, the results were far more rewarding in his opinion.
Furthermore, the elaborate lie that his incarnation came up with wasn’t a completely baseless or random lie. As for why? It was because he, Randy still had the corpse of the Holy Knight Captain in his spatial ring.
Before handing the storage bracelet to his incarnation, Randy transferred the corpse into his spatial ring. As soon as he took the corpse out, he also triggered the sea of knowledge in his mind. This allowed specific knowledge to resurface and become clear in his mind. He acquired the base application of that knowledge. This knowledge came from the Ancient Black Tome, so it was quite useful.
That knowledge also coincidentally required that the caster possess a [Mental Seed] with ‘Mental Force’ in order for it to be useful. Randy assumed [Mental Force] to be another term for [Psionic Energy] based on the description stated about mental force’s nature.
Taking into account the application of the acquired knowledge, Randy could determine that somehow his incarnation might have also received that knowledge and acted based on that knowledge. If that was not the case, then his incarnation was somehow instinctively planning his next steps for him without his consent.
In other words, whatever careless action, no matter how brazen or crazy his incarnation might have seemed, it would always benefit him in some way.
