I Became the Savior on the Fourth Day of Disaster - Chapter 41: (Including 9.8k Nutrienont Solution Bus) ^^...

Chapter 41: (Including 9.8k Nutrienont Solution Bus) ^^…

Though utterly defeated, ACE still maintained confidence in his gambling skills.

Special ability prowess had nothing to do with gambling proficiency. Moreover, just from the way the black-haired youth held his cards, ACE could tell he was a complete novice. ACE had defeated countless seasoned gamblers, let alone a pure beginner.

As long as he won back his life, then he could gamble for the other’s life…

Yunxi casually extended his hand: Sure.

Thus began ACE’s nightmare.

He watched helplessly as Yunxi flipped card after card with seemingly no thought at all, while he, as the other person at the gambling table, didn’t even get a chance to play.

Yunxi said casually: Big, small, big, big…

When it came to the final card, feeling two taps on his shoulder blade, Yunxi naturally flipped the card: …small.

All correct!

ACE was already sweating profusely.

Especially when Yunxi continued: Ending so soon, how boring. Shall we keep gambling? I’ll wager your life and all the Port Mafia intelligence you possess. What will you bet?

ACE gritted his teeth: I’ll bet! I’ll wager all my assets, including my subordinates!

But this time we’re changing the game! Let’s play Blackjack!

With Gogol’s assistance, Yunxi won again, and again, and yet again.

ACE: Again! Again! Again!

Yunxi casually tossed the chips in his hand: Do you have anything left to bet?

ACE’s eyes were bloodshot: Yes, I’m willing to bet everything, including information about my special ability! But this round I want to change the game to Russian Roulette!

Yunxi blinked: Alright.

This was even simpler – he didn’t even need Gogol’s help, as his good luck would automatically secure his victory.

Sure enough, when it came down to the final shot that was guaranteed to be loaded, it was ACE’s turn again.

Yunxi handed over the pistol: Your turn.

ACE: ……..

Damn it, is this guy heaven’s favorite son or something?

ACE decided to risk everything. He suddenly stood up, aiming the gun at Yunxi: The next shot is definitely loaded, and you still dare to hand me the gun? Even Transcendents can have brain problems! You know what? If I shoot you right now… Huh?

ACE pulled the trigger, only to find this shot was also empty.

Disbelieving, ACE pulled the trigger four more times in succession – still no bullets.

ACE: ???

Did this guy not load any bullets at all?

ACE was furious. He aimed the gun at his own arm: Fine, fine! Then I’ll shoot myself, and this round continues!

He wanted to see how this guy across from him planned to end this game!

With this inexplicable confidence, ACE pulled the trigger. The next moment, accompanied by a loud bang, a bloody hole appeared in ACE’s arm.

ACE: …

Yunxi shook his head and tutted twice, saying: This isn’t my fault – you’re the one who chose to shoot yourself.

But now, the game should be completely over, right? Yunxi stood up, stretching his limbs as the full power of his Transcendent special ability activated. Do you want to voluntarily hand over all your possessions and come back with me, or do you want me to beat you half to death before forcing you to come along?

ACE initially wanted to struggle, but now, watching the vast, swaying flames that illuminated the entire sky as bright as daylight, he felt his name flickering on the ledger of life and death.

He forced a strained smile: I’ll voluntarily give you all my things and go back with you.

Damn, he’s an offensive-type Transcendent! Why didn’t he say so earlier? If he had known, why would he have played Russian roulette with him!

And so, ACE reluctantly disclosed everything he owned and the mechanics of his special ability.

My special ability, [Jewel King’s Aberration], can transform the lives of those who willingly wear my collar into jewels.

ACE raised his hand, pointing to his collared subordinates. All of these people can be converted. If you don’t want to bring them along, I can turn them all into jewels…

Yunxi couldn’t help but remark: Your methods are even more capitalist than Fitzgerald’s.

ACE thought Yunxi was criticizing his cruelty, but the next sentence followed immediately: But I quite like this ability. How about you just give it to me?

After all, you won’t need it anymore. I’ll have [Sky Casino] send people to protect you, Yunxi added.

ACE: ???!!

ACE tried to resist but failed, helplessly feeling his once freely controllable special ability vanish.

ACE was left breathless.

Yunxi casually removed the collars from the minor subordinates’ necks, muttering to himself: Such important collars embedded with jewels should be reserved for powerful individuals. Wasting them all on ordinary subordinates is such a shame…

The subordinates nearly knelt in gratitude the moment they were freed, while ACE completely shut down emotionally.

Thus, having lost all his chips, ACE bid a half-dead farewell to his luxury cruise ship and the subordinates he once commanded like dogs, boarding a private jet to [Sky Casino] with Yunxi.

But it must be said, ACE’s self-confidence remained remarkably intact.

Two hours later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. Looking at the Transcendent beside him and the obedient Clown at the Transcendent’s side, ACE felt his confidence returning.

Hadn’t he originally wanted to join the Port Mafia precisely because the title Port Mafia Executive sounded prestigious in Yokohama? Now that he was associated with the even more prestigious Transcendents, what did he have to complain about?

The logic made sense, but today was Saturday.

Soon enough, ACE’s indulgent fantasies were shattered by harsh reality.

ACE was tossed about by the White Whale’s movements and, being the newcomer, didn’t even have a secure seat to grip.

His face turned deathly pale, eyes filled with despair. As Yunxi and Gogol each demonstrated their extraordinary skills to easily navigate the corridor that seemed endlessly long to him, he finally reached his breaking point.

ACE: Masters, is there any easier, more dignified way for an ordinary person like me to get across…

Yunxi seemed to remember only then that ACE wasn’t good at physical combat. He turned and said, Ah, yes. Just let your butt go first.

ACE was puzzled: What do you mean let my butt…

Suddenly! A guest slid across to the other side with a Sea Bull! while using his butt, then grabbed the railing by the wall just before being thrown off again!

Sea Bull! The White Whale thrashed once more, the guest lost his grip, landed on his butt again, and went flying back.

This time, the guest stopped trying to stand up.

But this way, the guest became completely safe.

Except for the guest’s mouth continuously sending telegraph-like screams and his butt constantly sliding back and forth on the floor, everything seemed absolutely perfect.

Yunxi demonstrated: Just like that. Let your butt go first.

ACE: .

Maybe these two should just throw him off the White Whale directly!!!

After an unknown amount of time, Yunxi finally brought ACE before Sigma.

Unlike others, ACE was a rare talent needed by the casino, so he had to be permanently stationed there.

Even if most other employees could take weekends off.

Before leaving, Yunxi called ACE over one last time.

ACE, I’ll be leaving soon. Considering your talent, I’ll give you one final gift.

The previously half-dead ACE: !!!

He struggled to stand upright on the swaying White Whale: Master, what gift are you giving this humble one…

Yunxi pulled out a steel wool pad.

ACE was confused: This is…

Wealth and honor. Yunxi said gravely.

Gogol couldn’t hold back: Pfft pfft pfft!

Yunxi turned his head in confusion, glanced at Gogol, and when Gogol stopped laughing, turned back.

Yunxi continued: This is my blessing for you, and also a reminder…

Whoosh! ACE, who was listening attentively to Yunxi and not paying attention to the White Whale’s movements, was thrown off again.

Just like that, ACE slide-tackled several staff members along the way. Fortunately, these staff members all had ACE as cushion when they fell, so the impact when they hit the ground was just right – stunned but not brain-damaged.

ACE had it worse. When the White Whale changed position and he slid back, he looked almost dead.

Yunxi looked at ACE who had slid back before him and continued quietly: I wanted to remind you that the White Whale has a spicy temperament. You’ll have to endure it a little.

ACE: .

Ropes always break at their thinnest point, misfortune always torments the unfortunate.

Gogol finally lost all restraint and laughed uproariously: HAHAHAHA!

That’s right, just endure it! Being too close to Yunxi means being too far from heaven!

Even after leaving the place, Gogol still wore an exaggerated smile on his face.

Sitting in the private cabin of his exclusive plane, Gogol pressed his head against the airplane window, watching the White Whale still tumbling in the sea of clouds for quite a while before pulling back his head and saying cheerfully:

Little Yunxi, do you think the overlap rate between the [Sky Casino] Sigma wanted to go to before coming to our world and the [Sky Casino] you gave Sigma could reach even 10%?

Yunxi: ?

How would he know?

Also, why is the similarity rate Gogol mentioned so low? Wasn’t the [Sky Casino] he gave Sigma good enough?

Gogol seemed to read Yunxi’s thoughts and started giggling again.

Unwilling to concede, Yunxi suggested: How about this, Korya? Tell me where you stayed before, and I’ll try to recreate it. Let’s see how high the similarity rate can reach?

Gogol feigned surprise: Oh? Does little Yunxi want to learn about the clown’s past through this method? No can do!

Yunxi, whose intentions were instantly seen through, first felt guilty, then angry: Why can’t you tell me? Aren’t we lovers?

Haha, why indeed? The clown can’t say!

Yunxi watched the white-clad clown spinning before his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and calmed down.

Then what if I have Sigma exchange information from you…

Gogol stopped spinning and gave a definite reply: Of course! If Sigma-kun can manage it without little Yunxi’s help!

But little Yunxi, I am a space-type ability user after all. Aren’t you underestimating me too much?

Just before another hand forcibly invaded his mouth, Yunxi’s final thought was: That’s powerful, yet vulgar.

Gogol watched Yunxi’s swaying earring and raised an eyebrow: Mhm!

He didn’t even refute it!

To obtain Gogol’s information, Yunxi began reporting to Sigma with Gogol punctually every Monday through Friday.

But with Gogol always prepared in advance, Sigma’s chances of actually touching him were practically zero.

Consequently, after all these days, not only had Sigma made no progress in gathering information, but he’d also wasted considerable time that should have been spent handling [Sky Casino] affairs.

Under Sigma’s death glare, Yunxi guiltily said: Sorry, Sigma… How about I help you deal with the troublesome customers outside later, and also repair the buildings over there?

Sigma was satisfied.

Yunxi, who could easily handle these tasks, was also satisfied.

The only one suffering was ACE, who constantly had to clean up the messes Yunxi left behind.

Whether it was If you’re so idle, why not move your shoulders first and pop that zit between them, or Your top priority should be finding cabbage and vermicelli, or Would it be your dad who dies if you cut your hair in the first month? or Did your family really have to save money on that one condom back then? – Yunxi would spout these remarks without hesitation.

After enraging customers, Yunxi would even cover his ears and leisurely add, Is someone pushing from behind? Why so loud?

Highly damaging, and deeply insulting.

If not for ACE – who regardless of time or place would willingly set aside his dignity to roll over and offer high-EQ comfort to everyone, even proactively seducing certain customers who favored his type of elite Asian handsome guy with blond hair and purple eyes – the [Sky Casino] would likely have ten times more enemies than customers after just one month of operation.

But after this month, even ACE had truly reached his limit.

He went to Sigma, humbly begging whether Sigma could please stop using Yunxi because he was genuinely terrified.

ACE wasn’t afraid of being killed by customers, nor was he afraid of being forced to sell himself, and he certainly wasn’t afraid of developing some peculiar affection for customers after being bullied by them repeatedly.

ACE was afraid that if things continued this way, Yunxi might be in the middle of provoking someone when he suddenly dropped to his knees, only for Yunxi to turn around and say, I’m scolding him, why are you raising your ass preparing for punishment?

That would completely shatter the soul of ACE, who was once considered a formidable figure in his own right.

As for why he asked Sigma to speak to Yunxi instead of doing it himself, it was naturally because ACE vaguely knew that Sigma was Yunxi’s relative—a connected insider with backing. Unlike himself, whose only backing was his own ass.

ACE finished explaining.

It was only then that Sigma learned what Yunxi had been doing to the guests and ACE.

After verifying ACE’s account, Sigma let out a sharp cry of disbelief and, for once, mustered the courage to directly kick Yunxi and Gogol out of the [Sky Casino].

Yunxi had been thoroughly enjoying the base-building and management gameplay, so being expelled by Sigma left him utterly confused about what had happened.

But it didn’t matter. Coincidentally, the 7-day time limit was almost up.

Yunxi proactively chose to [pause in-game time] and exited the Holographic Pod early.

However, Yunxi’s mind was still fixated on the management mechanics of the [Sky Casino]. He searched online for several similar mobile management games but found them all lacking.

Finally, Yunxi decided to ask the AI provided by The Sims: Yokohama for its beta testers whether the company had any plans to develop a Holographic management game in the future.

The AI replied: [Dear player, there are no such plans at the moment. The Sims: Yokohama is an ultra-large-scale Holographic Game, and the company currently lacks the resources to develop additional games (sad yellow bean emoji).]

Alright, that’s reasonable, Yunxi muttered as he continued typing, Then after the official launch, are there plans to let players choose their own Identity Plates?

For instance, he desperately wanted an Identity Plate like [Sky Casino Manager]. If Sigma weren’t the current manager of the [Sky Casino], players would definitely try to snatch it directly!

The AI seemed to glitch from Yunxi’s question.

[Randomized Identity Plates are one of this game’s key features. The official version will most likely not change this…]

[Unable to resolve player’s query! Warning! Transferring to human agent… Transfer failed! Activating deep thinking mode!]

[Detected that the player’s true intention is not selectable Identity Plates but obtaining an Identity Plate that enables base-building or management gameplay.

AI is revising requirements and searching for solutions…]

Just as Yunxi marveled at the AI’s intelligence, the ellipsis representing loading abruptly vanished, replaced by two giant fireworks on the screen.

[(Fireworks)(Fireworks) Detected that the player has met the conditions to trigger a special DLC! In this DLC, players can obtain a management-type Identity Card usable only within the DLC. Would you like to download the installation package now?]

[Reminder! This DLC is unfinished, has short gameplay duration, and does not provide a complete story background. Therefore, frequent in-game prompts that may break immersion will appear…]

Yunxi: !

It actually exists!

Driven by curiosity for new experiences, Yunxi completely ignored everything that followed and eagerly clicked [Confirm].

For Yunxi, who was still riding the high, even a second of hesitation would be a disservice to himself!

Download! It must be downloaded!

The 24-hour countdown for the Holographic Pod ended, and Yunxi immediately entered the pod at top speed, selected the DLC, and launched it.

Hmm, the DLC is called ‘Circus,’ so my identity is…

An exquisitely crafted special Identity Plate unfolded before Yunxi.

Yunxi widened his eyes: Circus Master?

And it’s a blank slate Identity Card? Aside from the Savior’s unique 200% attribute bonus and Immortality, all other items, skills, and attributes can be carried over to the Circus Master?!

That’s awesome!

Still, the circus setting gives me a strong sense of déjà vu, as if I’m about to run into Korya any second now…

Whoa. The game began, and Yunxi stared dryly at the white-haired boy, covered in wounds and looking no older than ten, who had been delivered right in front of him.

The player was just joking—how could it actually be Korya delivered to the player?!

And it was even a Korya without a scar on his left eye… Game company, just what year have you thrown the player into?
