Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 337

341

Mamon’s treasure was indeed powerful.

Ganesha’s Broken Tusk. As a treasure imbued with the power of the god of luck, it was bestowing immense fortune upon Se-un.

Jackpot!

Whirrrrr-

Another jackpot.

Of course, even a lucky item imbued with divine power isn’t all-powerful.

Firstly, the cost of the material purchased to use it, the ‘Left Horn of a Bicorn’ [a mythical two-horned creature], was enormous, making it difficult to break even unless he quickly went up to the second floor.

Secondly, the luck gained from possessing it wasn’t absolute.

As evidence, not every spin of the roulette resulted in a jackpot. However, there wasn’t a single instance of landing on a bust.

“Hey, looks like you’ve used up all your luck for life here. Why don’t you stop?”

“C-Could you give me just one silver coin? You have so many…”

“Yeah, splurge a little! Huh? You have to share at times like this to gain good fortune!”

As jackpots continued to hit even after he moved to different slot machines, more and more people flocked around Se-un.

The cheers grew louder, and many flattered him, hoping to get even a single coin.

Meanwhile, a man exuding an aura completely different from the common players on the first floor approached Se-un.

‘Faster than I thought.’

It was Clover, one of the four managers in charge of the casino’s first floor.

The most crucial type of anomaly that the managers handled was precisely the kind of behavior Se-un was exhibiting.

Although he wanted to clean out one more slot machine, judging by the atmosphere, it seemed like it was time to leave.

“Player Jeong Se-un, may I have a word with you?”

Though a bit regrettable, the most he could gain by hitting jackpots here was limited to silver coins.

Hitting ten jackpots here would be equivalent to or less than hitting one jackpot upstairs.

Se-un decided that it was more advantageous to quietly follow than to cause trouble, and he nodded, rising from his seat.

“Oooo!”

“They’re taking him away because it looks like he’s going to clean them out! Cheapskates!”

“H-Hey, can’t you give me just one coin?”

“Ugh, stingy, taking it all for himself!”

“W-Wait a minute. Isn’t that… that guild’s mark?”

“What guild?”

“Haven’t you heard? I’m telling you, don’t just stay in the casino, get out and live a little.”

“So, what guild is it?”

“It’s allied with the Valhalla Guild. The Diablo Guild…”

“V-Valhalla?!”

Only belatedly did the people who had been following him recognize Se-un’s guild mark, stopping in their tracks and whispering among themselves.

That concluded the troublesome situation.

Although it was due to Valhalla’s fame rather than Diablo itself, avoiding the hassle alone made the alliance with Valhalla worthwhile.

It’s only this much for now, but as he ascends the floors, the alliance with Valhalla will offer even greater significance.

“Thank you for following me, Customer.”

“Are we going to the second floor?”

“According to the records, this is your first visit, but you seem to know our casino well.”

Se-un thought they would investigate how he did it, but Clover didn’t ask any questions and simply guided Se-un towards the stairs to the second floor.

After all, what Se-un had been doing until just now was playing the slot machines.

Even if it were a different game, it would be nearly impossible to cheat with slot machines. He had hit a lot of jackpots, but it was still just silver coins.

It seemed they chose to pass Se-un on to the second floor rather than antagonize him, who had exchanged 50 million points for coins from the start and was practically a VIP in waiting.

“Originally, customers who make a net profit of up to 100 silver coins on the first floor are guided to the second floor.”

“Is that all?”

“There are other conditions, such as the total amount used, but this is the condition that applies now. You’ve had a total of four jackpots and haven’t failed even once.”

There seemed to be a barb hidden in his words.

Even for a lucky player, the probability of winning coins consecutively without a single bust, let alone hitting four jackpots, was close to impossible.

In fact, the message that all the coins had run out was said to be a first in the casino’s history.

Yet, Clover didn’t pry into Se-un’s method. He simply understood his role well and guided Se-un.

Since he was only the manager of the first floor, unless he could figure out the trick, it was the right decision to send him upstairs rather than unnecessarily provoking the player.

“The game types will be quite different, but I’m sure you’ll be satisfied. From the second floor, you can use gold coins.”

“I see.”

“Nine gold coins. No, if you exchange your silver coins for gold coins on the way, you’ll have even more.”

It was quite a short time from when Clover noticed Se-un’s performance to when he started talking to him.

Yet, he clearly understood how much Se-un had exchanged for which coins.

Indeed, even as a manager of the first floor, he was quite capable.

“From the start, wasn’t your goal at least the third floor?”

“It’s better to play in bigger waters if possible.”

“I thought so. You wouldn’t have exchanged for platinum coins unless you were aiming for the third floor or higher.”

The limit on the first floor is silver coins. The second floor is gold coins. The third floor allows the use of platinum coins.

He had heard that diamond coins, signifying 100 million points of contribution, could be issued on the fourth floor, but Se-un didn’t know if this was true.

From the start, the casino’s fourth and fifth floors were unknown territories to players, so Se-un had only obtained some uncertain information by chance before his regression.

“I don’t know what method you’re using, but it won’t be easy from the second floor.”

They arrived at the stairs leading to the second floor.

There were guards protecting the stairs, but at Clover’s nod, they bowed their heads and stepped aside.

“Please, enjoy our casino.”

Se-un left Clover, who was bowing politely, behind and ascended the stairs.

Unlike the damp Lilac Street, the casino’s stairs were all decorated with red carpets, various paintings, and jewels, making it feel luxurious.

Se-un thought it was a bit excessive, but…

– The Constellation, ‘The Bowing Crow,’ is watching the design of the stairs with interest.

– The Constellation, ‘The Bowing Crow,’ is beaming, saying that the owner here seems to have quite the sense.

Mamon’s thoughts seemed different.

As he climbed the surprisingly long stairs, a space appeared in the middle, like a 1.5th floor.

Various masks hung on the walls there.

‘This is my first time seeing them in person.’

Unlike the first floor, which anyone can enter, the second floor is mostly populated by people with a certain amount of capital, whether they are good at gambling or not.

As such, there were several people who wanted to hide their identities. These masks were for them.

[ Black Tiger Mask ]

Category: Mask

Grade: A

Description: An artifact mask created by the Lilac Casino to protect the identity of its VIPs.

Abilities: 1. Tiger Mask – Transforms the face into the shape of a tiger mask, preventing physical and magical scrutiny.

2. Recognition Impairment – Lowers the wearer’s presence, reducing the awareness of those around them.

3. Recording – Records and stores the wearer’s vision.

The masks hanging there were half-masks that only covered the eyes and forehead, but once worn, they could cover the entire face with a magical effect.

There was also a function to cover the entire exposed skin if desired.

‘The recording is… probably for them rather than the customers.’

Recording.

At first glance, it might seem like it’s to protect customers, but in reality, it’s clearly to determine a customer’s cheating when an anomaly occurs.

They would somehow hide the scams they commit themselves.

Like the masks, there were also robes next to them that could cover the entire body.

The difference was that they had beautiful patterns and sparkling jewels, unlike ordinary robes.

‘It’s impossible to hide your identity in the casino anyway, but…’

If they were determined to find you, they wouldn’t fail to find you even if you wore a mask and robe. Most of the players who had established themselves here had that much information power.

Still, it’s possible to create a bit of confusion in case of an emergency.

Thinking so, Se-un picked up a red wolf mask and a black cloak.

– The Constellation, ‘The Serpent Enclosing Jealousy,’ smiles gently, saying that the mask and robe suit you very well.

– The Constellation, ‘The Bowing Crow,’ regrets that you didn’t choose a more flamboyant robe.

The preparation was complete.

Se-un, who activated the mask’s magic to cover his entire face, stepped onto the second floor.

Immediately, a brilliant light obscured his vision.

It wasn’t just bright lighting, but the light was reflected by all sorts of jewels, catching his eye.

“Welcome, customer.”

He thought the first floor had a classy atmosphere, but this place was incomparably more luxurious. It felt like he was participating in a party that nobles would enjoy.

There were places for simple entertainment and relaxation in various spots, and high-end dishes and desserts to fill one’s stomach were emitting sweet smells in the center.

Waiters wearing white masks with flower patterns were carrying high-end wines and champagnes, offering drinks.

Looking at it again, it looked more like a noble’s party than a casino.

“I will guide you. This way.”

As if he had received prior notice, one of the waiters approached Se-un and explained the surrounding systems.

There were various things, but what Se-un focused on, of course, were the types of gambling.

Unfortunately, there weren’t any slot machines, but there were quite a few games he roughly knew the rules of.

“You can eat as much food and drinks as you want. If you play a game more than once a day, you can fully enjoy the facilities here.”

He had only come up to the second floor, but he was already receiving treatment close to that of a VIP.

No, the players here probably actually think of themselves as VIPs.

He had heard that the number of players who go up to the casino’s third floor is very small.

“I will be in charge of you from now on, so please feel free to tell me if you have any inconveniences.”

“I will.”

“Please, enjoy our casino.”

The man who introduced himself as ‘Spade One’ bowed politely and left.

Se-un, who hadn’t had a proper meal yet, headed to the long table in the center.

Each and every item was worthy of being called a top-class dish.

To provide these for free showed how much the casino cared about the guests on the second floor.

‘It’s definitely hard to tell who’s who because of the masks and robes.’

He was going to check if there was anyone he knew from his memories before regression, but it was difficult to identify them because the masks and robes had the function of blurring the wearer’s presence and concealing their power.

Se-un, who swallowed a piece of sweet meat pie, looked around widely.

The type of game he wanted was one where he could maximize the power of luck residing in the ‘Ganesha’s Broken Tusk’ hidden in his pocket.

Blackjack, where you compete with the dealer in numbers, or Baccarat, which is called the king of casino games, etc.

There were various games, but since this was his first time here, he excluded games that required extensive knowledge or skill.

Then.

‘That looks good.’

Se-un, who found just the right game, moved his feet.

A game called the Queen of the Casino.

It was Roulette.
