Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 333 Card Opening Gambling Game

Du Shuqiang brazenly sized up the others, "Is there anyone else who wants to stand up for someone?"

"Let's talk this out, let's talk this out," Di Xing chuckled, quickly stepping forward to help Opal up.

He didn't mind fighting these people directly, but Ms. Mi Nuo hadn't arrived yet. If she came in and saw a fight breaking out in the store, would she get angry and turn around and leave? So Di Xing decided to solve the problem in a different way.

"Miss Opal is still a lady, after all. How can you, as male escorts, lay a hand on a lady?"

The burly man who had pushed over the opal stepped forward and said, "Heh, I'm going to do it, so what can you do about it?"

"Oh dear, it doesn't bother me if I hear that, but what if Ms. Minuo hears it?"

Du Shuqiang's expression changed instantly. Indeed, it would be troublesome if Ms. Mi Nuo found out about this.

But he already knew that Ms. Mi Nuo was coming today, so he was determined to get his hands on this goddess no matter what. Du Shuqiang didn't want to be subservient to the Leppard family forever.

"Alright then," Du Shuqiang plopped down on the sofa, crossing his legs, "I'll give you a one-day grace period for the repayment date, but you need to lend us half of the shop today."

"What are you dreaming about?!" Opal roared.

"If you don't agree, I'll have my people block your shop entrance demanding payment, and then no one will be able to receive Ms. Mi Nuo."

Opal was helpless; Ms. Mi Nuo was their shop's only hope for revival, so they could only grit their teeth and accept it.

"You agree? That's good. Then I'll trouble all your people, and all these low-class customers, to go to the other half of the shop, the one closest to the door. I'll take that half."

"Are you kidding me? Isn't this just blocking our door and preventing us from doing business?"

"Little girl, don't push your luck!"

The burly man behind Du Shuqiang was about to attack again, but Du Shuqiang raised his hand to stop him.

"It's not worth getting angry with someone like him. How about this, I'll give you another chance," Du Shuqiang gestured to the male escort bodyguard behind him.

The bodyguard immediately walked towards Red, the host in Akiyahara, and then grabbed the Yu-Gi-Oh! card pack hidden behind his back.

"What are you doing? I just got that today!"

Red immediately yelled and tried to snatch back the card pack, but the burly bodyguard punched him hard in the face, knocking him unconscious. Since it wasn't a female bodyguard, there was no need to hold back.

The gigolo bodyguard respectfully handed the card holder to Du Shuqiang. Du Shuqiang glanced at the card holder, let out a disdainful sneer, and then threw it on the table like trash.

"Let's make a bet on the combined star levels of the monsters in this card pack. The person who guesses closest wins, and the winner gets to choose which half to operate in."

"you!"

"What? I've already conceded so much, and you still don't agree? Then I'll just have to send my men to collect the debt at the gate."

"I...I agree," Opal had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

The card pack that Di Xing recognized was a cheap card pack sold by the third-tier card shop, [APPLE PIE], specifically for the poor people on the fourth tier. It mostly contained level 1 monsters and simple spell and trap cards.

Although it's advertised as cheap, for most ordinary people on the fourth floor, it still requires a bit of splurge to walk into the card shop and buy just one pack.

Today, as soon as Di Xing entered the store, he saw Red excitedly taking the card holder from the deliveryman. Red couldn't wait to open it, but a customer arrived, and the dedicated Red had to hide the card holder behind his back and attend to the customer first.

But this card holder, which Red cherished like a treasure, was treated like trash by Du Shuqiang, instantly igniting a fire of anger in Di Xing's heart.

Du Shuqiang recognized that card pack too. He knew those kinds of trash card packs, specifically sold to poor players. They were full of level 1 normal monsters and low-level spell/trap cards. Each pack contained ten cards, with about five more normal monster cards than spell/trap cards.

In other words, the total star rating of a card pack should be around five stars. This is something neither side would find hard to guess. So, while it's called gambling, it's actually a race to see who can declare the total star rating first. So, the moment Opal nodded, Du Shuqiang immediately said, "I bet it's five stars!"

"You, you!" Opal was taken aback, realizing he'd been tricked.

Du Shuqiang revealed a sinister smile. This girl was still so naive; he was certain to win this bet. He had set a trap, because he had just said that the closest guess would win. In other words, even a direct guess wouldn't count as a win; regardless of whether the result was 4 stars or 6 stars, he would still win.

You asked if Du Shuqiang would lose if it were exactly 5 stars? Sorry, but he's strong. If it really is 5 stars, then the word "close" means exactly what's going on. That is, regardless of whether the result is 4, 5, or 6 stars, Du Shuqiang will win! He has a sure-win strategy for this gamble!

Opal had no choice but to stammer, "I...I bet 4..."

"Wait a minute!" Di Xing interrupted Opal.

We'll bet 13 stars.

"What? Are you stupid? How could there possibly be 13 stars in that trash card pack?" The gigolos behind Du Shuqiang immediately burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, the male escorts and customers on Di Xing's side started whispering among themselves.

"Is Teacher Beidou confused? How could those card packs possibly accumulate to 13 stars?"

"But that's Beidou Sensai, I think he must have his reasons."

Du Shuqiang revealed a sinister smile. "Looks like Opal has a problem with his judgment of character, actually hiring an idiot to be a gigolo."

"He's not stupid, he's an important newcomer at our host club. He just broke your record from back then!"

"What?" Du Shuqiang smiled with interest. He didn't look at Di Xing, but at Opal.

"So, you've finally torn off your hypocritical masks and started squeezing money out of these stupid women by any means necessary? Well, they're so easy to fool. Ah, that's why I love gamblers and stupid women the most. Boss, he regrets firing me back then, doesn't he?"

"Bullshit! Beidou doesn't make money through despicable means like deceiving women like you do. He makes money honestly and fairly. He's a real gigolo."

Di Xing scratched his head: Although the money I just earned doesn't seem to have anything to do with the gigolo profession...

"Really?" Du Shuqiang looked unconvinced, but didn't intend to press the matter further. "Then does what he said count?"

Opal hesitated for a long time before finally nodding heavily.

"Alright, let's reveal the cards."

The burly male bodyguard behind Du Shuqiang opened the card wallet and began arranging the cards one by one on the table.

First card - Heart Key Fairy (1 star)

Second image—Soul of Ice

Third card - Loading

Fourth card - Mediocre Ghost (1 star)

Fifth card - Half-wounded but not broken

Sixth card - Bone Rat (1 star)

The seventh card—the Wanbao Hammer

Eighth card - Green caterpillar (1 star)

Ninth image—Little White Rabbit (1 star)

"Great! It's already 5 stars! Manager, you're guaranteed to win!" The gigolo bodyguard behind Du Shuqiang started flattering him.

"Haha, only one card left! That idiot's doomed! How dare he guess 13 stars!" The male escort bodyguard laughed smugly.

Opal's face was ashen, and the other male prostitutes and customers in Qiuye Plain were also sweating nervously. But what no one noticed was a pair of eyes in the crowd, excitedly watching the betting game.

"This is the last one," the burly man sneered, placing the last card face down on the table before slowly turning it over.

At this moment, the entire Autumn Night Plain fell into extreme silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath, watching the burly man's movements. Opal could almost hear his own heartbeat.

"Thump!" Opal looked worried.

"Thump!" Nami and the others clenched their fists.

"Thump!" The male prostitutes of Qiuye Plain turned pale.

"Thump!" The female customers nervously covered their faces.

"Thump!" The gigolo's bodyguards burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Thump!" Du Shuqiang's face was full of mockery... but the next moment, his smile collapsed!

The burly man flipped the cards over completely. Looking at the star ratings, he could hardly believe his eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "The tenth card—Sleeping Giant, ten...ten stars!"
