Li Ling didn't linger and went straight to the roulette gambling area, with Gu Ziyun following behind.
Roulette is a game where a small ball is placed on a wheel with individual squares. The wheel spins clockwise, and after the betting period ends, the ball is launched counterclockwise and rolls on the wheel until it comes to rest in one of the small squares.
The goal of the game is to predict which color, number, or combination of betting numbers the ball will land on.
The odds for betting directly on numbers here are the highest – 1 to 35, which means you can win 35 times your bet!
This is Li Ling's goal. 百镀一下“Wishing Star of All Heavens and Realms爪书屋”最新章节第一时间免费▅读。

Chapter 142 Everything Starts with Luck
The Grand Lisboa Casino is filled with countless gambling tables, offering a wide variety of games including poker, mahjong, dominoes, slot machines, and fishing games. People with different preferences are attentively staring at the cards at their respective tables.
Here, the fragrance of wealth and greed fermenting together is intoxicating, enough to make one forget time.
In the midst of sudden gains and losses, the rapid release of adrenaline creates a sensory experience that allows gamblers to feel the reality of the world to the fullest extent... Only at that moment do they feel alive.
Li Ling had been observing the roulette wheel for quite some time, witnessing several people suddenly become rich and several others suddenly lose everything...
Amidst this chaotic and decadent atmosphere, Li Ling's mind remained exceptionally clear, for he had experienced the taste of immense wealth in the mission world.
In the world of "A Better Tomorrow," he is not only a triad boss but also owns several large companies. The life-and-death trials in other worlds, along with his own martial arts skills, have further tempered Li Ling's nerves, making him even more resilient.
He wouldn't be moved by the current scene, especially since he's a man with a cheat device.
Finally, he stopped watching and, as the wheel of fortune spun once more, unleashed his mental power...
The ivory ball rolled in the roulette wheel, drawing the attention of the gamblers around it. Unbeknownst to them, the ivory ball was already under the control of a young man.
Finally, under Li Ling's control, the ball landed steadily on the odd number "17." Immediately, those around the roulette wheel were filled with joy and sorrow, revealing the complexities of human nature. A slight smile played on Li Ling's lips—
All done!
They glanced at Gu Ziyun beside them and smiled at each other.
"Smack!"
Li Ling placed his 30,000 chips on a single number – "17"! Gu Ziyun followed suit and placed his 20,000 chips.
A bald gambler who had just lost a round laughed when he saw this: "Young man, young lady, you're something else. You bet on a single number on this roulette wheel. I've never seen that before in all the time I've been playing. You have guts."
Li Ling chuckled and shrugged, saying, "I've always been very lucky."
Koo Ja-yoon also said, "I believe in my husband's luck."
Ever since Li Ling extended his evil claws and devoured Gu Ziyun, the two have started addressing each other more affectionately.
The bald gambler who had spoken earlier laughed upon seeing this, and said with a "heh," "Everyone who comes to the casino thinks they're lucky, but there's more than one person who loses everything except their underwear every day here."
He seemed rather dismissive of the good luck that Li Ling and Gu Ziyun had mentioned.
Li Ling didn't seem to care about his tone and raised an eyebrow at him, saying, "Then I'll broaden your horizons."
The bald gambler: "???"
The roulette wheel began to spin, and under Li Ling's mental control, the ivory ball finally landed steadily on "17".
"Wow!"
The surrounding gamblers all screamed in surprise.
Betting on a single number offers the highest odds, a full 1 to 35, so Li Ling's 30,000 chips suddenly became 1.05 million! Gu Ziyun's chips also became 700,000.
Gu Ziyun's pretty face lit up with joy. She jumped into Li Ling's arms and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Although she had experienced many ups and downs, she had never seen so much money before. She was very excited and carried back a bunch of chips.
The gambler who had just spoken stared wide-eyed; he had actually bet on a number correctly!
Li Ling released his mental energy to observe his surroundings. Apart from the gamblers around him, no one paid any special attention to him.
Although gambling is unpredictable, Li Ling couldn't be sure if it would attract the attention of the casino. Although mental energy is invisible and traceless, what if there are extraordinary people in the casino?
Although spiritual energy is almost non-existent in modern society, with a global population of seven billion, there must be some extraordinary powers existing, right?
He released his spiritual energy and waited for a while. Seeing no unusual activity, he said to Gu Ziyun, who was still in a state of joy, "Wife, let's continue."
Gu Ziyun nodded happily, holding all her chips as she continued betting...
Li Ling glanced at Gu Ziyun, who raised an eyebrow at him. Li Ling knew that Gu Ziyun was going to take control of the situation this time.
This time, Gu Ziyun is still using number 17.
Are you crazy?
ah!
The bald gambler who had just seen Gu Ziyun bet everything burst into laughter: "I really learned something new just now. Why don't you show me something else?"
Gu Ziyun glanced at the bald gambler and retorted defiantly, "Uncle, then let me show you!"
She turned to Li Ling and said, "Honey, this time it's 17 too! Your wife's luck is pretty good too!"
"Ha, you two are so capable! Calling me 'uncle'? Am I that old?" The bald gambler curled his lip, then touched his bald head, secretly feeling sad.
Li Ling glanced at him and then said, "I also believe in my wife's luck. Let me show you again."
Without hesitation, he placed all his chips on the single number "17".
