Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 367
Advertisement
Ryder stepped out of his Ferrari Whirlwind and started going towards the beautiful building in front of him, which had a digital board that had its names shining brightly.
He walked with Keia towards the building.
"This is called the Moneyhub Casino. It's one of the biggest casino chains in the country, with their casinos in every state. They deal with hundreds of millions of dollars daily," Ryder explained to Keia.
"Hah, I never expected that you would bring me to a Casino. This can be fun, though. Are you an expert gambler?" Keia asked Ryder.
"Hah, I'm not. It's kind of my first time coming to a Casino. You can call me an expert in Horse Race betting, though. Unfortunately, I'm banned in all those places," Ryder replied as he smiled wryly.
"Why? Did you do something bad there?" Keia asked Ryder as she chuckled.
"Nah, I don't do anything wrong. I didn't even cheat," Ryder replied as he sighed.
"Why did they ban you then?" Keia asked Ryder in confusion.
"It's because of my luck. I won a little too much," Ryder told Keia as he smiled wryly.
He pushed the door open for Keia as he entered the Casino.
He walked to the counter and bought a card and charged them with a hundred thousand dollars. Ryder had heard about when casinos used chips, but during his time, the casinos had changed. They used a system similar to credit cards.
The Casinos provided the people with cards after a low safety deposit, which the people could recharge the cards with. They bet with cards and got credits in their cards, which they could directly transfer to their bank accounts.
"Since you're my lady charm, how about you choose for me?" Ryder asked Keia as he held her hand and pushed her towards a table which had a card game.

The host pulled out one random card and said six numbers. The selected card was one of those six numbers. As long as the person guessed the card right during gambling, they won the money. Depending on the number of people, the earning rate changed, but on average, it was a hundred percent increase in the money if a person won.
Ryder explained the game to Keia as he sat at the table with her.
"Pick," he told the host as he gave him his card and bet ten thousand dollars worth of credit.
The host of the table picked a card from his deck and looked at it. He placed it facedown on the table.
"Six of Spades, Three of Heart, Ace of Diamond, Seven of Club, Two of Heart and Three of Diamond," the Host gave them options.
" Uh, I don't understand anything," Keia asked Ryder in confusion.
"Pick a number from the ones he said basically. Oh right, Ace means one in a way," Ryder explained to Keia.
"Oh, I chose Ace. It sounds nice," Keia selected.
"I selected Ace of Diamond," Ryder told the Host.
The host smiled as he reversed the card, revealing the Ace of Diamonds.
" Congrats on winning. Your money has tripled," the host said, congratulating Ryder as he transferred the money.
'What the? She actually got it, right?' Ryder thought as he looked at Keia with a surprised look on his face.
Keia also looked happy. Even though she didn't understand what this game was, she liked the feeling of winning. Ryder also liked seeing that child-like happiness on her face.
"I would like to continue. I'm putting Twenty Thousand," Ryder told the host.
The Host picked another card from the same deck.

Three of Spades, Seven of Heart, Two of Diamond, Seven of Club, Three of Heart and Five of Diamond," the Host gave them options again.
"That was fun. I selected Five of Diamonds!" Keia chimed in without waiting for Ryder to ask her.
The host looked at Ryder for confirmation since he was the one putting his money on line.
Ryder nodded his head as he went with Keia's choice.
The host showed the card, once again congratulating Ryder.
"I must say, Sir, your lady luck is really good," the host said as he smiled.
Ryder, on the other hand, looked at Keia, wondering if she was actually lucky or if she could see the future. If she could see the future, she might know a few things about him since he'll be coming back in time to get the benefits of his knowledge.
If it were the past, he wouldn't have believed that seeing the future was possible, but after what he had gone through in the past related to his powers and Dark Uprising, anything was possible.
He decided to test her luck even more in the next hour.
He kept getting her to select a card. After a while, he was sure that it was her luck and she couldn't see the future since out of the Twenty Times he bet with her help, he only won fifteen times.
' Does she really can't see the future, or is she losing intentionally to remove suspicions from her?' Ryder thought, looking at her.
'This much should be enough. I know the answers to Twenty cards. These should be enough to win enough money,' Ryder thought as he stood up.
He started using his Ruler of Time's Active Skill that allowed him to go back in time equal to the number of his levels in minutes at most.
Snapping his finger, he used the ability and went back in time.
He went back just enough not to waste any time repeating the same things in the past.
He found himself in front of the counter, getting his card for the first time.
This time he credited his card with fifty million dollars instead of the original ten thousand dollars attracting various gazes from the people inside the casino.
"Ah, isn't that a bit too much for gambling?" Keia asked Ryder in concern.
"It's fine. Come," Ryder said as he held Keia's hand and walked towards a table.
Sitting down at the table, he played the same game as last time, keeping everything the same.
He didn't ask Keia for the answers this time since he knew that he was going to win an absurd amount of money today. He didn't want to paint a big target on the back of Keia because of that.
" Pick a card. I'm betting twenty-five million dollars!" Ryder declared, attracting the attention of the host, who seemed to be shocked since no one bet this much at once. This seemed to be some type of a record of betting here on first then.

This boy is called Jing Guanyu, a physically crippled boy who cannot has a crippled body and no energy system, preventing him from embarking on the paths of Essence and Energy Cultivation. The only path left to him is the path of Divine Cultivation, a mystical cultivation path that focuses on the soul and forming contracts with the Spirits of powerful Spirit Beasts that have taken human form. However, when he spends over 4 years trying to sense the spirit force of his first Spirit Beasts Spirit Realm, the rest of the clan deem him as a complete waste. One day, when the young man was 13, he met his first spirit contract, and his Legend begun there. The Legend of the creator of the ultimate cultivation Scripture in history. The creator of the Primordial Evolution Scripture, Jing Guanyu! The Primordial Emperor! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The inspiration for Book (brackets say roughly what I got inspiration from) Do note: I do completely copy anything from any books. All of this book is original and all the books mentioned below are simply inspiration that gave me the ideas in regards to whats in the brackets. It may seem similar (like with MW I also use the E-E-D cultivation but my definitions and cultivation realms are different from the inspirations) > Martial World (Cultivation Paths) > Lord Xue Ying (Non-Generic Plot) > Stellar Transformations (Unique Cultivation Technique) > Consuming Earth, Devouring Skies (Character Development) > Ancient Godly Monarch + Invincible (Martial Spirits + Own touch to this idea) > The Storm King + Lament of the Fallen (The Soul Realm/Soul Domain) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Final words: Ok, I will just say that there are several reasons why the MC's cultivation speed is so mediocre despite how "talented" he is. There are logical reasons and they will be explained when necessary. Just remember that cultivation speed isn't everything. Hope you enjoy. I will take constructive feedback and logical criticism. However, I will not even reply to illogical criticism, rants or salty people who got pissed off because the main character didn't get "that divine medicine" or "this divine sword" or whatever. Note: I have marked all 4 of the content warning boxes due to a uncertainty in how dark, gory, descriptive or traumatizing my story will get. Btw, the cover isn't my property but was gotten from a website on mythology (greek I think). IF they ask me to take it down, then I shall. IF NOT, then IDGAF. LOL
