On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Bin visited Xiaofang's Home to extend his New Year's greetings. On the second day, he and Liu Ruolan paid a New Year visit to the Liu Family. By that afternoon, he had disguised himself as Chen Junheng and visited the Liu Family again, presenting a newly created painting that astounded everyone. Elder Master Liu was the most pleased and became extremely excited. Therefore, the matter concerning Chen Junheng and Liu Ruomei naturally received the Liu Family's approval.

「On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year」

Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue came to extend New Year's greetings to Zhang Bin, bringing very generous gifts. Upon meeting, Ma Rufei said secretively, "Master, your chance to make a fortune has arrived."

"That's right, Brother Bin, you're about to strike it rich! We're here to congratulate you," Chen Chaoyue said, thrilled.

"What opportunity to make a fortune?" A look of anticipation appeared on Zhang Bin's face. He disliked being in debt. I really need to earn 3 billion USD right away to repay these two brothers.

"Let me tell you, in one month, the World Gambler Championship will be held in Las Vegas, America," Ma Rufei explained. "All participants must submit an entry fee of 1 million USD. After successive rounds of competition, the final top ten will all receive huge cash prizes. Additionally, the organizers and sponsors have set up extra lavish prizes. Professional analysts predict the first-place winner, the world's King of Gamblers, could take home more than 3 billion USD. Master, you have to participate in this!"

"Brother Bin, with your miraculous Gambling Skills, you'll definitely overcome all obstacles and become the King of Gamblers, gaining instant fame and shocking the world," Chen Chaoyue added, gesticulating wildly, as if he could already see the beautiful moment Zhang Bin was crowned.

The last time they went to the Dawang Casino in the Island Nation with Zhang Bin, his incredible Gambling Skills won so much money that the casino almost went bankrupt, triggering a series of events. To this day, neither of them had figured out how Zhang Bin cheated. With such skill, Zhang Bin surely had a chance to contend for the title of the world's King of Gamblers.

"Why hold a World Gambler Championship and offer such a generous prize? What's the purpose of the organizers?" Zhang Bin asked cautiously. He was secretly delighted, feeling as if the championship was tailor-made for him. That prize of over 3 billion USD seems to be beckoning, promising a swift way to repay my debts.

"Heh heh... Master, you wouldn't know," Ma Rufei said with a mischievous laugh. "The global gambling industry is a massive sector. Hosting the World Gambler Championship is like placing an advertisement for the entire world, and it will boost business for all casinos.

"Moreover, if a casino has a top-ten gambler from this championship on its staff, its reputation will soar. Gamblers won't have to worry about cheaters; they can bet with confidence and rely on luck. That's why every casino supports the World Gambler Championship and sends their best players. In fact, each casino will contribute sponsorship money, possibly millions or tens of millions of USD, which adds up to a huge sum."

"Besides, the championship captures worldwide attention," Chen Chaoyue added, his face animated. "The television broadcasts, live audiences, and advertising revenues all amount to a huge fortune, comparable to the World Cup. Compared to that income, the prize money is actually nothing."

"I see," Zhang Bin muttered, his heart beginning to pound with excitement. He declared resolutely, "Very well, I'll participate."

"YES!" the two friends cheered, high-fiving each other.

"You two seem even more excited than I am. You're not planning to join the World Gambler Championship too, are you?" Zhang Bin asked, surprised.

"Of course we're going with you!"

"Heh heh... The World Gambler Championship is full of beautiful women," the two said with lecherous grins.

Zhang Bin was completely speechless. They really are two animals. He couldn't help but ask, "What about the women you hooked up with in the Island Nation?"

"Once we've slept together, I forget all about them," Ma Rufei said with a strange laugh.

"I don't forget," Chen Chaoyue added with his own odd laugh. "Next time we go to the Island Nation, we can still have another go."

After the two animals left, Zhang Bin immediately asked Tutu to gather information on the World Gambler Championship. His friends hadn't lied; the competition was real and would take place in about a month. He was secretly overjoyed and had Tutu collect information on gambling experts. Gradually, however, his expression became extremely serious.

Many of the gambling experts were terrifying, their Gambling Skills so magical they seemed impossible. Most of them were Superpower Users with years of practice, far beyond what Zhang Bin could compare to. In the World Gambler Championship, relying on Tutu to cheat would be nearly impossible. The automatic mahjong machines weren't custom-made and lacked special control programs, so he couldn't control the tiles drawn. With card games, even automatic shufflers had no program to control the order of the cards. In dice games, one simply guessed high-low or the exact number, but the person throwing the dice could be your opponent, leaving no way to control the outcome. Therefore, Tutu couldn't play a crucial role.

However, Tutu could still be useful. Tutu could hack into monitoring systems and view the footage, which would give Zhang Bin a certain edge. But it was nowhere near enough for him to breeze through the competition, not with so many experts. Each one had their own unique tricks and Special Abilities—perhaps x-ray vision, Mind Reading, control, hypnosis, or even more bizarre powers.

Moreover, the competition venues were specially designed to prevent Cultivators from using their Divine Sense. This meant he couldn't even rely on his Divine Sense. What was more troubling was that the participants in the World Gambler Championship weren't just Supernatural Experts, but also Cultivators who had reached the Golden Core Realm. After reaching the Golden Core Realm, Cultivators would manifest various Special Abilities of their own.

Of course, the cream of the crop among Genetically Enhanced Humans would also participate. Many Genetically Enhanced Humans were already Superpower Users. After Genetic Enhancement, their abilities would become incredibly powerful, often resulting in multiple Special Abilities.

Therefore, for Zhang Bin to aim for the championship in the World Gambler Championship, to become the King of Gamblers, was a task more difficult than ascending to heaven. With my current level, I don't stand a chance.

Luckily, there was still a month. He could learn Gambling Skills in the Virtual World.

"Tutu, immediately create software for learning Gambling Skills. I must master every gambling technique," Zhang Bin ordered.

Many casinos had surveillance footage, and many gambling experts had their own training videos, which they reviewed closely to find flaws and areas for improvement. This made it convenient for Tutu to collect the necessary material. Otherwise, Tutu wouldn't have been able to create software for learning Gambling Skills from scratch.
