"Pop—Puff—Puff—"

Unable to dodge in time and struck by the Dragon-Shaped Energy, it was almost no different from being really hit by a punch. Xue Jing touched the dragon head imprint on his cheek and shook his somewhat dizzy head.

On the deck, the walls, and the glass, dragon head-shaped holes were everywhere.

After having a blast, Xue Jing exited the Consciousness Simulation.

Walking back inside from the balcony, Xue Jing went to take a shower in the bathroom and then stepped out.

Ning Fengwan was lying on the bed, chin propped on a pillow, her hands in front, flipping through a magazine.

She wore a light pink silk summer pajama set, shorts and a T-shirt, her glaringly white slender legs kicking up and down. Her unpainted toenails shone like jade and her black cat tail with a tail ring swayed in the air, suggesting she was in a good mood.

"Teacher Wan, I\'m ready. Shall we go out and have some fun?"

Xue Jing proposed.

This cruise ship had numerous entertainment facilities. It seemed a waste not to enjoy them given this rare opportunity.

Ning Fengwan yawned, showing her sharp yet adorable little tiger teeth, her weary eyes shedding some tears.

.

"...No, I want to sleep."

Xue Jing glanced at the completely darkened sky outside, "It\'s only eight o\'clock."

"Eight o\'clock is very late for a little kitty."

Ning Fengwan closed the magazine in her hands, tossed it to the bedside table, and buried her face into the soft pillow, appearing to have fallen asleep already.

"Alright then."

Xue Jing shrugged his shoulders and took a wine-red suit out of the wardrobe.

This was a gift from Senior Sister Zhu Shanying. The first time he received a commission from Hidden Dragon Dojo to go to Rui Zhu Hotel, Zhu Shanying recommended this attire.

He didn\'t know which brand it was; there was no label, but he could tell from the feel of the fabric that it was expensive.

Xue Jing changed into the clothes, tied his tie, and looked at himself in the mirror.

Suits can look odd on someone without broad shoulders, but Xue Jing certainly didn\'t need to worry about this. His physique, sculpted by numerous skills from Ban and professionally certified by Master Li Qi, was arguably the most balanced and perfect of the human species.

His Power circulated, reaching the realm of Strength Reaching Four Extremities, causing his moderately long hair to automatically sweep back and form a smoothly styled back.

Dressed in an elegant suit and his hair combed like an adult.

His overly youthful face, supported by the attire and hairstyle, also took on a more mature look, diminishing the sense of youth and replacing it with a sexy charm.

Lying on the bed, Ning Fengwan turned her head to sneak a peek at Xue Jing, her cheeks immediately flushing a rosy hue, her thighs involuntarily rubbing together.

Fastening the button at the cuff of his wrist, Xue Jing walked out of the room.

The reason for this outfit was because the destination was somewhat special.

— The casino.

It wasn\'t that the casino required formal dress; he simply wore it out of admiration for the "Gambling God," seeking to embrace that kind of atmosphere.

"Drugs and gambling are things ordinary people should absolutely never touch; one directly changes the structure of the body, the other changes the structure of the spirit."

As Xue Jing headed towards the casino, he thought to himself.

Gambling addiction and drug addiction are no different in essence.

For those addicted to gambling, their pursuit is no longer just \'winning money\', but the \'thrill of winning at gambling\', an addiction that could completely destroy a person. Emotions, willpower—nothing stands a chance against this absolute spiritual pleasure.

However, for Xue Jing it didn\'t matter.

Becoming addicted requires valuing something, like \'money\'.

Only if one values money enough can it stir one\'s spirits, and \'winning money\' becomes a thrill.

Yet Xue Jing\'s pursuits had long since moved beyond money itself.

His visit to the casino was simply to gain some new experiences, to broaden his knowledge, and to experience things he hadn\'t before.

...

The grand double doors, flanked by two waiters in suits, swung open as Xue Jing stepped into the casino.

This was an incredibly vast and expansive three-level casino, and upon entering, he was greeted by the noise that swelled around him, with countless men and women mingling within.

Contrary to Xue Jing\'s expectations, there were far fewer people in formal suits and gowns than he had anticipated—only about half, which somewhat disappointed him and diminished the atmosphere he had hoped for.

Walking up the stairs carpeted in red, Xue Jing entered deeper into the casino without a clear idea of what he wanted to do when a hurried figure approached him.

"Mr. Xue, you\'ve arrived!"

Director Chen greeted him.

"Director Chen, you really are everywhere."

Xue Jing smiled.

Chen Liang replied respectfully, "It\'s a coincidence, just a coincidence. I heard from the staff below that Mr. Xue was coming, and I happened to be here, so I came to greet you."

Xue Jing walked ahead, with Chen Liang trailing a half-step behind him.

His outstanding appearance drew the gaze of those around him; some even became so distracted they forgot they were in the middle of a card game, quieting the normally bustling casino significantly.

Without a doubt, the moment he entered, he became the most dazzling presence in the entire casino.

Xue Jing, long accustomed to such attention, showed little reaction and casually said to Chen,

"Speaking of which, the ship hasn\'t reached international waters yet, has it? Is it okay to open the casino now?"

In Zhuxia, gambling is prohibited; casinos on cruise ships must first reach international waters, beyond Zhuxia\'s jurisdiction, before they can operate.

"We\'re not yet in international waters, but, the passengers here aren\'t \'gambling\' at the moment, they\'re just playing cards."

Chen Liang chuckled.

"Currently, all the chips in the hands of the passengers...aren\'t bought with money...It\'s just like the chips in \'Monopoly,\' solely for playing games."

"Zhuxia doesn\'t forbid people from playing \'Monopoly.\'"

Chen Liang looked meaningfully at the various expressions—excited, tense, despondent—on the faces of the passengers at the tables.

He said profoundly, "Once the ship officially reaches international waters...there will naturally be ways..."

He didn\'t finish his sentence, but Xue Jing already understood.

"The methods of exploiting loopholes in every industry are indeed numerous." Xue Jing laughed.

Seeing that Xue Jing seemed unbothered by this, Chen Liang relaxed slightly and smiled, "Yes... Our cruise company doesn\'t rely on ticket sales for revenue; the main income comes from the casino, so naturally, we find ways..."

The two chatted casually as they walked.

"Mr. Xue, would you like to try your hand as well? I\'ll have someone bring over some chips for you..."

Chen Liang said.

Xue Jing had not yet replied when a soft touch suddenly spread through his right arm.

"Handsome boy, you look really good. How about playing with sister?"

A seductive, mature female voice rang in his ear, and Xue Jing turned to look.

Staring back at him was a woman around twenty-five or twenty-six, with a pretty face and unnaturally pale skin, her short hair framing her features as she smiled sweetly at him.

The woman, clad in a deep blue low-cut gown that showcased her ample bosom worthy of a European cup title, held his arm wrapped in hers.

Xue Jing, his gaze deep, observed several subtle indentations on the woman\'s face, barely noticeable under her makeup.

He had seen these kind of marks before.

\'What level of protective membrane is this...\'

How could there be someone with an alien implant on a cruise in the Outer Ring?

"Come on, let\'s play together... If you lose, it\'s on your sister; if you win, it\'s all yours, okay?"

The woman nuzzled Xue Jing\'s arm with hers, constantly touching him softly and speaking in a coquettish manner.

Xue Jing pondered for a moment, then revealed a smile as radiant as the warm sun.

"Sure, let\'s play together, big sister."

The woman\'s eyes momentarily glazed over, nearly swooning from his charm.

She then couldn\'t help but lick her lips and clasp her legs together to avoid revealing too much.

"This must be your first time in a casino, right... Come on, sister will teach you. There are many other things... sister will teach you all of it."

In the distance, a tall man playing cards glanced at this scene and clicked his tongue in displeasure.
