冲冲冲！
It seemed opportunities truly came like a flood, impossible to hold back.
As expected, the gambling house would have substantial funds within.
Currently, the travelers and the enforcers of the gambling house were facing off, looking as if they were about to fight, which indicated the gambling house was in a state of vulnerability.
If not now, then when?
Glancing at the duration of his disguise skill, to avoid any issues, Chen Yu specifically changed into another set to re-trigger the disguise state and charged towards the gambling house.
"So many people?"
"Are you trying to make a move against us travelers?"
"This is truly a dark city."
"The things you do are truly sickening."
A sneering whisper escaped from the lips of the girl in the long robe. Chen Yu, hugging the wall, skirted past the two groups and headed for the main entrance. Along the way, he could still hear the girl's taunts and the travelers' responses.
It seemed the gambling house had lost money and refused to honor the payouts.
The situation had escalated quite a bit.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have reached a standoff between both sides.
Although Chen Yu didn't know the specifics, he was absolutely on the side of the travelers. If you're going to run a gambling house, then run it properly; if you can't handle losing, then don't run one.
Smiling gleefully when winning, but wanting to cheat when losing.
What kind of business is this?
Furthermore—
Even if they wanted to cheat, they shouldn't be so blatant. Wouldn't it be better to send a few people to follow him and mug him when he leaves the city?
Stupid!
With the situation so tense, who would dare come and play again?
Shaking his head, he sighed.
Chen Yu glanced at the person wearing the straw hat opposite him. Judging by the positioning of the enforcers, that person was likely the lord of this city.
Not very bright.
Chen Yu didn't pay much attention to it. Taking advantage of their standoff, he directly slipped into the gambling house.
Everything was as he had anticipated.
Empty.
On over a dozen gambling tables, gold coins remained, not yet collected.
"Collect, collect, collect~"
Be it gold coins, silver coins, or copper coins, Chen Yu took everything he saw without leaving a trace.
"Boss?" Hei Dou on his shoulder suddenly whispered. Chen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. "What is it? Hey, can you find the gambling house's safe for me?"
"Back door."
Hei Dou nudged slightly.
After collecting the gold coins from the gambling tables, Chen Yu pulled open the back door. Dozens of locked chests, along with several unlocked chests gleaming with gold and silver light, were piled on the ground.
Without hesitation, Chen Yu put the chests into his bracelet.
And also,
He collected two large sabers as well. These sabers were silver-grade.
Clearly, they were also valuable.
Presumably, these weapons were used by the gambling house's thugs. Since Chen Yu had seen them, there was no reason to leave them for them. Never mind that they were silver-grade weapons; even if they were rotten wood, he would still take them.
Several minutes later—
Chen Yu had emptied the gambling house, leaving not a single gold coin or weapon behind. He even collected two unopened loaves of bread into his bracelet.
It was just a pity that the gambling tables and counters were too large.
They couldn't fit.
Otherwise, Chen Yu would have wanted to take the gambling tables too.
Of course, the gambling tables couldn't be taken, but the chips could. And the dice in the gambling house, Chen Yu had truly left nothing behind.
This time, the harvest was quite substantial.
Over a dozen gold chests of gold coins, at least several hundred thousand. He had collected over sixty silver-grade weapons. He would check their attributes when he returned.
If the attributes were good, he would keep them for himself.
If the attributes were still worse than his Perfect Trio Set and Adventure Sword, he would sell the equipment. Anyway, equipment was never a problem to sell.
"Comfortable~"
Looking at the bracelet on his wrist, Chen Yu showed a satisfied smile.
Tonight.
He had earned a fortune.
He didn't need to go to any other resource points and could directly return to the camp. The city would surely conduct a city-wide search for such a large loss of supplies, making operations more troublesome.
Chen Yu had to leave before they discovered him.
Moreover—
His bracelet was completely full now.
"Dou'er, you called me earlier. Was there something you wanted to tell me?" Chen Yu whispered. Hei Dou was stunned for a moment and then realized. "No, it's just that when we came over, I smelled a familiar scent."
"Ah?"
"A rotten smell and a fragrant smell~"
What on earth?
Chen Yu glanced at Hei Dou for a while, unable to figure out what he was trying to convey.
"What are you saying?"
"It's just that there's an acquaintance here. Even if we're not familiar, we've definitely met before." Hei Dou said confidently. "I'm very sensitive to smells, I have an impression."
"Oh really?"
Chen Yu, wearing the Demon King's cloak and disguised, arrived at the entrance.
They were still confronting each other.
These two groups were all cave dwellers. Chen Yu looked around but didn't find anyone familiar. Hei Dou, perched on his shoulder, kept twitching his nose.
Bang bang!
Chen Yu felt Hei Dou's little paws pat his shoulder twice. Chen Yu, understanding, retreated back into the gambling house.
"Necromancer!"
Hei Dou lowered his voice, squinted, and nudged towards the person wearing the straw hat outside.
"This kid is the necromancer we tied up last time. I don't think I'll ever forget this rotten smell. He stank so badly last time, it made me nauseous for an entire night."
Hiss!
A necromancer?
Chen Yu's eyes widened in surprise as he peeked outside.
Is it really him?
Chen Yu had wondered before if this might be the necromancer's city, and it turned out to be this kid's.
"Are you sure?"
"Certain!" Hei Dou said confidently. "It's truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow path. We let this brat escape last time, and I didn't expect to run into him again here."
Bang.
Before Hei Dou could even finish speaking, Chen Yu flicked his small head.
"Don't talk nonsense. This is a benefactor!"
What enemies meeting on a narrow path.
He was clearly a benefactor radiating holy light.
When Chen Yu needed obsidian the most, his appearance provided him with ample obsidian, allowing his camp to make a leap in progress.
When he left, he even left Chen Yu with scrolls.
And gave Chen Yu a city.
This…
Isn't he a benefactor then?
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. This kid is our benefactor, a big fat sheep." Hei Dou also realized and nodded, then said with a smile, "Boss, when we attack the city, will this kid's mind be completely muddled?"
"Muddled, his second brother will be as hard as a rock."
"He doesn't have one."
"Oh, right, he doesn't." Chen Yu suddenly remembered the scene when he pulled down his pants and found nothing there. "So pitiful. After cultivating necromantic magic, his second brother disappeared. Hey, do you think Kuka will also...?"
"No way?!"
Hei Dou's eyes widened in surprise.
"Or, when we go back, should we pull down his pants and take a look?"
"That has to be done secretly. Kuka is one of us, we should leave him some dignity," Chen Yu said in a low voice. "Hey, then who is the fragrant smell you mentioned?"
"I can't recall either."
Hei Dou tilted his head, trying to recall, while outside the argument had already reached a boiling point.
"Then try touching me!"
A sharp, girlish shout.
The girl in the long robe ripped the robe off. The moment Chen Yu saw the girl, his eyes widened. At the same time, Hei Dou on his shoulder also exclaimed.
"Boss, I remember who she is. She's..."
"Iliya!?"
