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

Chapter 342 First Prize Pot 7

A giant slot machine appeared in the center of the venue, with the classic three reels on the screen. The leftmost reel was already stuck at the '7' position.

"You're really cunning," Di Xing said with a serious expression.

"Hahaha!" Du Shuqiang laughed wildly, "Victory is everything, blame your greed!"

"W-what do we do?" Opal panicked completely. "Now all of Di Xing's methods of winning are blocked!"

“No, there are other methods, but Di Xing’s current deck can’t do it,” Li Fei Hua Yue said with a serious expression.

"Then, then we..."

"Wait, it seems like Danna is still executing that loop. Won't that cause them to lose the game?" Sendou Shinki asked incredulously.

"Yeah, what is idiot Xing thinking! And Shenji, don't try to muddy the waters, that 'Dan' you mean 'husband'! Change it back to Xing-jun!"

"Cut~"

"I activate [Synchro Release], and because [Singing Zombie] is Special Summoned, I send two more cards from your Deck to the Graveyard."

"What are you doing? Giving up on yourself? Knowing this will lead to death, are you trying to commit suicide? Ha, your wish is about to come true. Look, another [Jackpot 7] has been sent to the grave."

The jackpot 7 flashed briefly in the graveyard before departing for another dimension.

However, Di Xing revealed a wicked smile, "Have you forgotten that I set a card on the field with Absolute King J Revolution?"

"What!?" Du Shuqiang's smile froze.

"I activate the Trap Card [Eternal Separation]. You can only activate 1 card with this name per turn. Target up to 5 cards in your Graveyard and the same number of cards you banished. Banish those cards from your Graveyard, and return the banished cards to the Graveyard. I banish two cards from your Graveyard, and then select two [Jackpot 7] cards you banished and return them to the Graveyard!"

"What? You bastard!"

"That's great!" Opal excitedly pumped his fist. "As expected of the Big Dipper, it's truly amazing!"

"Now you won't be able to collect three copies of the 'Jackpot 7' card. You're finished. I'm sending your entire deck to the graveyard!"

The endless loop continued, and Du Shuqiang watched in horror as his deck completely collapsed.

However, when the last card in Du Shuqiang's deck was sent to the graveyard, "You're the one who's doomed!"

Du Shuqiang let out a wild laugh, casually tossing 100 gold coins into the slot machine in the center of the field. Then, a card from his graveyard returned to his deck, and the second reel of the slot machine spun rapidly before stopping, revealing a 'Cube Man' icon.

"W-what's going on?" Opal couldn't even remember how many times his emotions had surged today.

"When the last card in my deck leaves the deck, I can pay 100 gold coins, draw a random card from my graveyard, have both players confirm their cards, and then activate this effect. That card is returned to my deck."

"W-what!?" Di Xing finally panicked. "How could this be? There's no such clause in the contract!"

"Hahaha, scared out of your wits, huh?" Du Shuqiang left his console and strolled over to the slot machine. "It's so easy to fool people like you. This clause is in the contract..."

"This clause is hidden in the small crevice at the bottom right of the page with the victory clause in the contract, right? I saw it." A flash of fear crossed Di Xing's face, replaced by a smug smile.

"W-what? You knew that, yet you still..."

"Of course I'm confident I can beat you! I activate 'Neighbor's Grass Cut,' because you only have one card left in your deck, so I send my entire deck to the graveyard!" Di Xing's entire deck also collapsed to the graveyard, but unlike Du Shuqiang, Di Xing was extremely smug.

"What nonsense are you talking about? As long as I keep paying out gold, I can definitely return the two Jackpot 7s from the graveyard to the deck, and then your Bone Tower's effect of absorbing essence will send them to the graveyard, and you'll lose!"

"That's true, but you have over 40 cards in your graveyard right now, right? That means you only have a 1 in 40 chance of returning the jackpot 7 to your deck. You can't touch our prize coin. I don't believe you have unlimited coins!"

"Come on, now it's real gambling! We'll gamble on whether you can get lucky and draw those two jackpot 7s before you run out of money! I'll perform another Synchro, then activate [Synchro Release]!"

"You bastard! I'll pay 100 gold coins!" Du Shuqiang angrily threw 100 gold coins into the slot machine, then forcefully pulled down the lever.

The second reel of the slot machine began to spin rapidly, eventually stopping at the "Handbook Kill" position.

"Too bad, it didn't hit. I'll activate [Synchro Dispel] again!"

Du Shuqiang inserted another 100 gold coins, angrily pulled the start lever, and the wheel spun rapidly. This time, the [Dark Realm's Guide] appeared.

"Activate [Synchro Disconnect] again!"

With 100 gold coins, the lever was pulled, and the [Test of Courage] race appeared.

"Synchro disengage!"

100, Activation lever, Hand card erasure

"Damn it, win!" With Du Shuqiang's defiant roar, the cycle repeated 40 times. Du Shuqiang frantically threw coins into the slot machine, pulled the lever, and was met with failure after failure. At this moment, Du Shuqiang was just like those down-on-their-luck but crazed gamblers in the shop earlier.

"Damn it, why? This is already 50 tries! Shouldn't it be out by now according to the probability?"

"Probability isn't something you can get by doing 50 draws out of 1 in 50. As a casino owner, don't you know that?"

"Damn it!" Du Shuqiang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly turned to the female customers below the stage who were looking at him with concern, saying, "Princess ladies, I'm in big trouble! Please help me!"

"Ah~!" The female customers screamed, "Okay, Mr. Du Shuqiang!"

The female customers began frantically throwing their valuables onto the stage, which the male escorts and bodyguards quickly collected and converted into gold coins, which they then provided to Du Shuqiang.

"Are you cheating?"

"How can this be considered cheating?" Du Shuqiang shrugged smugly. "We didn't agree on where the gold coins would come from."

Then Du Shuqiang smiled and looked at Di Xing, "How about that? This is the right way to use a gigolo. Just by snapping his fingers, he can make those stupid women obediently offer themselves up. I became a gigolo for this wonderful sense of control!"

"What a twisted sense of humor! Too bad you can't control probability."

"With unlimited money, probability becomes inevitability, just like how I'm destined to walk out of this junkyard on the fourth level, climb to the upper levels, conquer more women, even the city lord, and then rule the entire Duskwood."

Wow, you've got some serious ambition! Too bad the city lord is a lesbian.

Du Shuqiang laughed and pulled the lever again, and this time the second wheel stopped steadily in the position of [Prize Pot 7].

"Haha, how about that! I told you I was destined to be the victor, completely different from those idiots in Qiuye Plain! Only I! Will never go back to that dilapidated orphanage with drafts everywhere!"

Opal looked at the frenzied Du Shuqiang, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Don't get too excited, you still need a jackpot 7 to win."
