Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Complete Failure! Is He Deliberately Trying to Lose?

Two times in a row, a one-in-one-hundred-and-eighty chance.

He actually pulled it off?

Even though each event was independently distributed, this kind of game result was clearly unacceptable to everyone.

Especially the audience. Especially the millions watching the strongest player.

【: No way, bro, can someone explain what the hell this means?】

【: This luck is insane!】

【: Luck? Are you stupid, dude? How could this be luck—was there cheating? Or did “Sin” figure out some kind of trick?】

【: Any hidden info? Anyone got a microscope? Check if there’s anything we missed when they explained the rules earlier.】

Almost no one believed that “Sin” had really done this just by luck—two times in a row, one-in-one-hundred-eighty odds!

Everyone was saying something different, and the once-luxurious hall turned into something like a marketplace.

As they watched Lu Ce once again place his entire fortune—an unimaginable number of Stars—onto red, everyone’s brains began to glitch.

—What gives him the nerve?

—Why does he dare?

—Does he... really have a guaranteed win?

In that moment, people even started loudly questioning the Slime about the fairness of the game, but the Slime didn’t respond at all.

He just felt annoyed by the noise.

“Let me tell you all a secret.”

In front of the roulette wheel, amid everyone’s doubts, Lu Ce suddenly spoke.

On the Purple Mask, a chilling smile reflected in the light, and the voice behind the mask said loudly:

“Actually, I’ve got magician hands. I can control air, luck, and probability.”

“When I play this game, I always win. If you want to win too, I suggest betting with me.~”

“Time’s running out. The game’s almost over. Come on, bet on red! Wager everything you’ve got.”

“Trust me!”

Lu Ce’s voice was loud, echoing through the entire space, riling everyone up.

But at this moment, no one moved. Everyone’s minds were completely maxed out.

Now, no one could think, judge, or make any kind of decision.

Over 700 Stars—just thinking about it made their brains crash. No one could keep playing the game.

Remember, everyone started with three Stars. Even if you counted all 100 Fake Humans, even 200 people together wouldn’t add up to 700!

And he had 700 by himself?

Their overloaded brains froze. Nobody knew if they could believe “Sin” anymore or what to do next.

“Three!”

“Two!”

Xie Antong’s gaze was dazed. A strange impulse suddenly rose in her heart—she suddenly felt like she should rush up!

She took two steps forward, but her enhanced brain snapped her back to awareness. She froze in place, cold sweat soaking her back.

What the hell?

Just now... why did I feel that way? That wasn’t me. Someone was controlling me?!

“One!”

Everything happened in an instant. Even though a lot went through her head, in reality, Lu Ce had just finished counting one second.

“Ah, no one dares, huh? Looks like none of you really want to seize the opportunity.”

Lu Ce looked bored. In the end, it was still just him playing the final game.

The entire roulette wheel still only had one bet—his.

The wheel began to spin. Xie Antong instinctively looked up, and her whole body trembled when she locked eyes with “Sin.”

On the Purple Mask, a teasing smile appeared, then he turned back around.

Xie Antong suddenly felt something was really wrong—like she’d missed something in her reasoning.

That feeling earlier... was it him?

Xie Antong suddenly realized she’d been watching the whole game, yet she still didn’t understand what “Sin” was really trying to do.

Every time she thought she had him figured out, she’d realize she was completely wrong. There was no pattern at all.

And now, the game had started again. He had once more placed all his fortune on a one-in-one-hundred-eighty shot.

725......

If the Slime couldn’t manipulate probability, and he couldn’t either, then... did he have some luck-boosting item?

That theory seemed way too busted, but it was the only explanation that made sense.

Right now, Lu Ce had total control over everyone in the room. Every heartbeat followed his gamble, every breath was ruled by that tiny little ball.

Lu Ce stood with his arms crossed, smiling at the roulette wheel. It seemed like he was the only person there not feeling tense—the only player involved.

Even the Slime was trembling all over, like he was about to climax!

As the ball began to slow down, it was like lightning flashed through Xie Antong’s mind, lighting up all the darkness and unanswered questions.

Maybe... the truth was—there was no secret at all?

Probability can’t be controlled.

“Sin” never had any guarantee to win. He was really just playing.

The two previous wins? Just pure luck.

And the reason he kept going wasn’t because he was certain of winning or had some kind of trick.

It was... he just wanted to keep playing. Playing the lowest odds, with everyone’s heartbeats on the line. Keep playing until...

He lost everything?!

He wanted to play until he lost everything? So, in the end, he wanted to lose?

The moment that thought entered her mind, Xie Antong felt like everything around her suddenly made sense—like a pitch-black window had shattered and all the answers were clear!

Except... the idea itself was completely absurd!

He entered the Hell Mode Game. He was the strongest player. He’d always chased Perfect Completion.

Why would he want to lose?

Xie Antong was frozen. At that moment, she felt like her whole body had been paralyzed, stuck in this hall full of madness, disconnected from everyone else.

Only a few seconds remained.

The roulette wheel, almost like it was on purpose, slowed down together with the last seconds of game time.

The ball landed on the red groove, but then bounced.

And landed next to it.

The wheel stopped. Everything ended.

725 Stars, lost at the last second—back to zero!

The moment Xie Antong saw the result, her brain felt like it exploded.

She looked down at the 15 Stars on her chest.

A strange, icy chill wrapped around her.
