Gold and Silver Alchemist

“Twenty-three please!”

With my cry, the dealer threw a marble.

slither-

The beads started spinning vigorously.

The first ever 100 million bet!

It was a phenomenal game where you could either lose 100 million won or win 3.5 billion won.

Not only me and the dealer, but also the pit boss and the female server near the table watched the marbles with nervous eyes.

and finally,

Dalgrak-

The marbles stopped.

However, I entered a completely wrong number, not 23.

It was my defeat.

1 billion lost.

“yes!”

Pit Boss really liked it.

Only the female server looked at me with a sad look.

Still, there was one person on my side.

The dealer took the 100 million won chip I bet on.

Then, with a triumphant expression, he opened his mouth.

“I hoped it was real. Is it a form of hypnosis to manipulate the behavior of others with words?”

As soon as he heard her story, Pit Boss took out a walkie-talkie and called somewhere.

It was probably calling the security team.

the dealer continued.

“But what? It doesn’t work for me. I can’t hear your voice at all.”

She brushed her hair behind her ear.

Then, the earphones in her ears were revealed.

“I’m listening to heavy metal with earphones that block outside noise. turn the volume up to maximum. I can’t hear you at all, so I’m not hypnotized.”

If you block my voice, you won’t be enchanted. Thanks to that woman, I learned an important piece of information.

“is it so? But how did you understand what I just said?”

“I am reading the shape of your mouth.”

For a non-Korean, non-Korean, to know what I was saying just by looking at the shape of my mouth, I was an extremely smart woman.

“We have nine games left. I wish you luck.”

The reason I asked to play 10 games without dropping out was to get back all the 1 billion won I had won so far.

clap clap clap-

The pit boss clapped his hands and gave the dealer a thumbs up.

“Definitely different from Las Vegas! Michelle, you look great!”

At Pit Boss’s praise, a woman named Michelle teased her proudly.

“In Las Vegas, we are creating different guidelines to deal with all situations. Just as the U.S. military has guidelines for an alien invasion, Las Vegas managers have guidelines for psychics.”

It was then.

rumble-

Dozens of security staff with clubs surrounded the roulette table.

All of them had earphones plugged into their ears.

Before I knew it, Pit Boss, who had earphones plugged into his ears, shouted at me.

“Just do stupid things until the game is over! I’ll beat you up very well.”

I smiled at the pit boss’ threat.

Then he looked at the dealer and said.

I spoke clearly so that she could read my mouth.

“thank you.”

At that, the dealer smiled arrogantly as if looking down at the loser.

They must have understood my words as an ironic way of saying, “I’m sorry you made this situation happen.”

But it wasn’t irony.

I was really grateful to her.

It’s the first time I’ve been in a ‘crisis’ situation since my job at the bar.

‘I am the strongest when in crisis.’

Just-

I snapped my fingers.

Then a fire broke out in the air.

I wasn’t trying to overcome this impasse with fire magic.

This was just a signal to provoke the enemy.

“I told you not to do anything stupid! Are people funny? let’s get it right You can play the game slowly after that.”

The pit boss gestured to the security team members.

Then dozens of people raised clubs and charged at me.

They were all wearing earphones, so I couldn’t stop them.

I can attack using fire magic, but if I start a flame indoors, a fire will break out and eventually burn me to death.

Because I don’t have resistance to fire yet.

In a word, I am now faced with a crisis from which I cannot escape on my own.

swish-

The security guard who rushed ahead brandished a club at me.

The moment the club was about to touch my body,

Finally, the voice he had been waiting for came.

[It is in a crisis situation.]

It was the voice of the manager who manages the Elixir system.

At the same time, everything around me stopped.

To be precise, it started moving very slowly.

As the elixir was supplied to the brain, the rotation speed of the brain increased.

The manager spoke bluntly.

[You created this situation on purpose. Trying to use ‘Alan’s emergency card’.]

The final purpose of signing the document, knowing that it was a trap and a reckless bet that I openly bet only on number 23, was to put myself in a crisis situation.

Because you can use the emergency card only if you grow your business as you want and you are on the verge of a slope.

Finally, I was able to use ＜Deceit＞ to finish the job perfectly.

[I made an emergency card to use as a preparation for a crisis situation, but on the contrary, you deliberately created a crisis to use the emergency card!]

‘Thumb up or run over, isn’t that what it is?’

pat-

Three cards came to mind.

‘There’s something I want to ask you, but does ＜Deceit＞ work only if the other person hears my voice?’

[Yes, it works even if the language is different, and even animals can communicate, but basically, you must be able to hear your voice because you use your voice as a medium to exercise your magic.]

It was said that the mana that binds the opponent is transmitted through the voice.

In the end, in order to properly use ＜Deception＞, I had to take off all the enemies’ earphones first.

I had already thought of a way to do that.

‘There is something I want to do before using the emergency card.’

[You mean you want to speed up your body?]

The manager understood my intentions right away.

In the tavern, the body speed could not be increased due to lack of elixir.

But things were different now.

[You can use an elixir to speed up your body. However, large quantities of elixirs are used to protect the body from the enormous load. With the elixir you currently have, you can move quickly for a very short time.]

‘A moment is enough.’

[Supply the elixir to the whole body.]

When the elixir was supplied to the whole body, the body, which could not move, became able to move freely as if the paralysis was lifted.

As much as the faster brain rotation speed, the body speed also increased.

Turbuck-

I took the first step in a stopped world.

I’ve only seen this in movies.

‘oh my god!’

I walked among the stopped people and took the earphones out of their ears.

After taking out all the security team’s earphones, I took out Pit Boss’s earphones.

The female serving staff was not wearing earphones in the first place.

And finally, I pulled the earphones out of the blond dealer’s ear, who was making an arrogant expression.

‘Now, let’s try using the emergency card.’

[Which of the 3 cards would you like to use?]

‘Of course it’s ＜deception＞.’

[You have selected ＜Deception＞ among Ellen’s emergency cards.]

pat-

The card disappeared with a flash of light and objects around it began to move.

“Stop everything!”

Everyone stopped acting.

The ＜deception＞ effect works.

‘okay!’

First I ordered the pit boss.

“All the dealers who played games with me at the general store today, call them here.”

He nodded and called the dealers on the walkie-talkie.

After a while,

Dealers arrived.

I said to everyone

“Listen to me from now on!”

From now on, everyone’s memories will be manipulated.

“You guys didn’t notice anything strange while playing games with me today. It’s just that I was incredibly lucky and won a lot of money. Did you understand?”

Everyone nodded, including the blonde dealer and the pit boss.

As a result, no one thought I had special abilities.

It achieved the greatest purpose of using ＜deception＞.

‘Now it’s time to raise the extra income.’

I walked over to the roulette table.

And I took 350 100 million won chips from the chip box next to the dealer and stacked them on my seat.

Then he said to everyone.

“You guys wanted to get back the money I lost, so I suggested a game with a betting limit of 100 million won. I also wrote a pledge that I must play 10 games without giving up.”

Up until this point, it had nothing to do with the truth.

“But what to do with this, I won all 10 rounds. The money I won per game is 3.5 billion, which is 35 times the bet amount! In the end, I earned 35 billion won. Did you understand?”

Everyone nodded.

Then, the head of the security team was manipulated to delete all the scenes recorded on the CCTV.

‘End of the situation.’

No evidence left.

This time, he used ＜Deceit＞ to clean up the situation perfectly.

100% in my favor.

It brings out the best results that can happen here today.

I approached the roulette table and took my seat.

Then, I took a sip of the remaining Iced Americano.

‘Ready, action!’

After ＜Deceit＞ was lifted, everyone started to do their jobs.

I looked at the dealer’s face.

His arrogant expression began to contort, and his complexion turned pale.

dump-

Eventually, he stumbled and sat on the floor.

“How can it be… that I lost 35 billion won…”

dump-

I heard the sound of someone squatting from behind, so I turned around and saw the pit boss sitting on the floor muttering something I couldn’t understand.

“Ah, f*ck… I’m going to get scolded by my uncle.”

The head of the security team approached me and politely bowed his head and opened his mouth.

“We will take you safely to the place where you exchange money.”

The group that had attacked me earlier had now turned into bodyguards.

“congratulations!”

The female server came running and smiled at me.

While the pit boss and the dealer sat down in frustration, congratulating me with a smile like this,

this girl really doesn’t care

No, maybe he is doing his job diligently.

“thank you. Here’s a tip.”

I handed her a 1 million won chip.

I won 35 billion won, but giving only 1 million won as a tip felt weak, but I had no intention of giving more.

‘Because if you give too much, you’ll get spoiled.’

She received the flounder chips.

“thank you!”

I threw a 1,000 won chip at the blonde dealer who was bewildered.

“You did a good job too.”

.

.

.

The money won from normal betting was 1 billion won.

And the money earned by over betting after an agreement with the casino was 35 billion won.

A total of 36 billion won was earned!

I exchanged my chips for cash and asked the teller.

“How much is the tax?”

I heard that if the jackpot hits, the tax is deducted by 22%.

22% of 36 billion is over 7.9 billion.

however,

“Roulette is tax free.”

“yes? Is it raining?”

“You don’t have to pay taxes.”

Table games such as roulette do not have to be taxed separately.

oh my god! 36 billion was entirely mine.

I struggled to hold back the laughter that was about to come out of my mouth.

I put all the money I earned into my bank account.

36 billion won is stuck in my account, which has never exceeded the balance of 10 million won!

‘Oh my God!’

I got out of the gambling den and completely out of the casino building.

The sun was still overhead.

I entered in the morning and won 36 billion in just a few hours.

‘Let’s fly to Hawaii right now!’

It was then.

“Brother! Let’s see us for a second!”

A group of men walked towards me.
