Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2115

The item to be drawn was like a massive disc, with numbers from one to one hundred marked on it. At the very top was a pointer, which, once activated, would randomly rotate. It was controlled by a special formation, making it impossible for anyone to cheat.

When the disc began to spin, it would be concealed by a formation. When it stopped, people could place their bets and buy the corresponding numbers.

The operation was very simple. It was the same as buying and selling in a casino. There were no rules.

Zhang Xuan walked up to Zhang Xuan, and with just a single glance, he had already mastered the technique.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the semi-annual trip to the Divine Mountain will begin tomorrow. There are only 30 spots left, and they will all be sold today. Those who haven’t bought any, hurry up! Regardless of whether there are any Semi-Divinity realm cultivators in your clan who have yet to reach the Semi-Divinity realm, this is an opportunity that you can’t afford to miss! ”

A young man in charge of selling the quota looked around and shouted, “Begin!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the disk began to spin. Then, it was concealed by the formation, making it impossible to see through it.

“With such a fast speed, according to my experience, the number should be below ten!”

“That’s not necessarily true. I also encountered such a situation last time. If it were me, I would choose between eighty to ninety!”

“You’re all wrong. Last time, it was eighty, and the time before that, it was nine. This time, I think it will be around twenty … The range of twenty to thirty hasn’t appeared for more than ten times.”

…

The moment the disk was covered up, the people below immediately broke out into discussion. All sorts of people who understood the situation voiced their speculations.

The array formation stopped shaking, as if the disc had stopped.

Swish swish swish.

Someone had already taken out a notebook and calculated the initial angular velocity of the disk, combined with air resistance, mechanical friction, and so on.

“Place your bets!” the young man in charge said.

No one was in a hurry. Instead, they waited to see how others were buying.

Eye of Insight! Zhang Xuan’s eyebrows shot up as he gazed into the depths of the formation.

If he could see through the formation, he might be able to peek at its contents without wasting money.

He shook his head.

As powerful as the Eye of Insight was, it was apparent that the formation was set up by a God King as well, so he was unable to see through it.

“What about the library? Flaws! ”

Due to the concealment of the formation, the crowd was unable to clearly see the contents of the disk. Thus, it was equivalent to the formation still being activated. There was no need to touch it to produce the book.

He gently flipped it open.

“Twilight City’s selection formation. Flaw 1 …”

The book recorded the flaws of this formation. There were problems with the materials used, the inadequacies of the person who set it up, and even the flaws of the formation itself.

What he wanted to know was what kind of numbers the needle was pointing at, but that was useless to him. Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan was just about to close the book when he suddenly saw the last line.

“Defects 68: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 …”

It was a row of numbers, ninety-nine of them. Only 73 was not among them.

“Could it be … that the needle is pointing at number 73? The others all have flaws because they weren’t pointed out? ”

Zhang Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.

If that was the case, it would be equivalent to participating in a gamble. If they knew the size of the bets in advance, wouldn’t they win every bet?

“Sun Qiang, buy number 73!” Zhang Xuan instructed without any hesitation.

“73？” Sun Qiang frowned. “Young Master, I just saw that others have to buy numbers between thirty and forty to have a chance. The difference between seventy and seventy is too big …”

In just a short moment, many of the top students in the room had already calculated the range where the needle would stop based on the angular velocity.

Even though it was impossible for them to be precise, it was already impressive that they were able to calculate this range.

“I’m telling you to buy it, so buy it!” Zhang Xuan harrumphed.

Sun Qiang shook his head helplessly. He walked up to Zhang Xuan and said, “I’ll bet on number 73!”

After saying those words, he passed a Divine Coin over.

“Bet on 73? Hahaha, it seems like there’s someone who isn’t afraid of death! “Seeing that the first person to buy the number 73 had actually bought such a ridiculous number, the crowd burst into laughter.

Someone had already made a calculation earlier, and while there was no exact value, it was clear that the odds of winning were the highest within that range.

“Friend, are you betting on number 73? You’ll definitely lose out. Listen to me and change it to number 36. I guarantee that you’ll win! “A white-haired elder walked up to Zhang Xuan confidently.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

“You don’t know who I am, do you? I am Yaoshan, and I have been here ever since the selection began. Over the past few decades, I have never left the premises of any of the selections. In the past, I have helped more than thirty people successfully buy their number 73! How about it? Listen to me, I’m an expert! ”

Yaoshan said confidently.

“Expert?” Zhang Xuan shook his head. “May I know why Elder is so eager to help me?”

“It’s simple. If I win, pay me ten Divine Coins as compensation. If I don’t win … If the difference is within three numbers, pay me one Divine Coin. If the difference is within ten numbers, pay me one Divine Coin. Of course, if the difference is more than ten numbers, I’ll still pay you one hundred Divine Coin. ”

Yaoshan said.

Zhang Xuan smiled calmly. “What if the difference is more than thirty?”

“If it’s more than thirty, I’ll pay you one Divine Coin,” Yaoshan said confidently.

Based on his many years of research, he had already formed a system and pattern that only he could understand. The way the wheel spun earlier was similar to what others had calculated. The difference should be between thirty and forty, but it was impossible for it to be more than thirty.

Zhang Xuan nodded. “I’ll still bet on my number 73. You can bet on your number 36 or find someone else to bet on it. If my number wins, you’ll pay me two Divine Coins. If yours wins, I’ll pay you two Divine Coins. How about it?”

Yaoshan hesitated for a moment.

In truth, what he had been doing was to gain something without risking anything. As long as there was someone who believed him, he would be able to earn a huge sum of money. Through this method, he had earned quite a bit over the years. In fact, he had even managed to buy his own residence in Twilight City.

It had two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

Yet, he was actually asking him to bet two Divine Coins …

“What if neither of us wins?”

“If neither of us wins, I’ll pay you two Divine Coins,” Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

“Very well!” Yaoshan nodded. He turned around and walked into the crowd. A moment later, he returned with a young man. It seemed like the young man had listened to his words and bought number 36.

After discussing for nearly ten minutes, all of the numbers were selected.

“Since you’ve bought all of the numbers, I’ll remove the formation and announce the ownership of the slots!”

The young man on the stage laughed heartily as he flicked his finger.

Hu!

The formation began operating once more, and the mist on it gradually dissipated. The appearance of the round wheel also became clearer.

“Just wait for your loss,” Yaoshan said with a smirk as he looked at Zhang Xuan.

His calculations were infallible, and yet, the young man before him actually dared to bet with him. Needless to say, even if he didn’t win this time, he would still be able to earn at least two Divine Coins!

Just as Yaoshan was wondering whether he should buy the latest carriage or find a beautiful lady to spend his time with, the young man on the stage suddenly announced the result.

“The person who has won the slot this time is … number 73!”

“Seventy-three?” Yao Shan was taken aback. He quickly raised his head and saw that the needle on the round wheel had stopped at seventy-three. It was a far cry from the thirty-six that he had predicted.

“How is this possible? Did we make a mistake? ”

“Just because one person made a mistake doesn’t mean that so many people made the same mistake, right?”

“I told you all that the results are random, so it’s impossible for the results to be correct … but you just wouldn’t believe me!”

…

Yao Shan wasn’t the only one who was dumbfounded. The top students from before were also dumbfounded.

There was no mistake in their calculations, but why was there such a huge difference in the results?

“Alright, this slot goes to … Sun Qiang!” Paying no heed to the discussions below, the young man in charge passed the special deposit for the slot to Zhang Xuan.

Holding the deposit in his hand, Sun Qiang looked at the young master before him once more, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Previously, so many people had calculated the same result, between thirty and forty, but the young master had casually said seventy-three. They had thought that the difference was too great, but who could have thought that it would be exactly the same?

“Young Master …” They couldn’t believe their eyes. It was as if the young master before them was a master of divination.

“I was just lucky,” Zhang Xuan replied calmly. He turned to Yao Shan and said, “Two Divine Coins!”

“Alright!” Yao Shan’s face reddened before paling. Gritting his teeth, he took out two Divine Coins and passed them over.

Having been here for several decades, he could be considered as a reputable figure. If he were to go back on his words, it would be hard for him to continue living here.

“Do you dare to continue with the bet?”

Seeing that the disc had stopped moving once more, Yao Shan turned to look at Zhang Xuan once more.

“Sure!” Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.

“I’ll bet on Number 57, and it’ll be within ten!” Yao Shan’s eyebrows shot up. “Same as before, two Divine Coins!”

“Alright,” Zhang Xuan replied with a smile. He turned to Zhao Ya and said, “Go over and buy Number 95!”

“Yes, teacher!” Zhao Ya stepped forward and bought the number.

Yao Shan hesitated for a moment before looking for another person to buy the number as well.

A moment later, the number appeared.

95！

Yao Shan grabbed his hair in frenzy.

He had calculated it twice, and both times, he was far off. Just how in the world did the other party do it?

Wasn’t it random?

Could it be that the other party was able to calculate it as well?

Gritting his teeth, Yao Shan tossed away the two Divine Coins as his body trembled uncontrollably.

Having been here for several decades, he could easily tell that this was the first time that the young man before him was here. That was also the reason why he came to look for him to fish up a rich man, but who could have thought that … he would end up getting hooked!

In an instant, he had lost four Divine Coins!

More importantly, the other party had even managed to get two slots!

“Do you want to continue?”

Seeing that the round plate was spinning once more, Zhang Xuan turned to look at it with a smile.

This fellow sure was a good person. If he kept giving money away, not only would he be able to get the slots for free, he might even be able to earn some money from it …

“It’s fine …” Yao Shan shuddered as he nearly burst into tears.

If he were to continue with the bet like the previous two times, the house that he had just bought would probably be gone … Even now, a toilet had already disappeared …

After shuddering, Yao Shan took a closer look at the young man before him, and his eyes widened in disbelief … Could the young man before him be the reincarnation of the Gambling God?
