At the end of their gambling session, Chen Li won a lot from Bald Jiang, and he decided to quit because Bald Jiang had no chips left. "Hey, I'm fortunate tonight; I won five million with only one hundred thousand yuan in capital."
After that, he immediately exchanged all his chips for cash because he didn't want others to discover that he was Chen Li.
The bald Jiang couldn't help but stare at him angrily; he took out his smartphone and sent someone a message. 'Since you humiliated me tonight, you will have to pay the price!'
After Chen Li got his money, he was about to leave the casino, but a man approached him. "I'm sorry, sir. Young Miss invited you to meet her because she wants to cooperate with you."
"Your young miss is Nan Xinyue, right?" The man nodded to him; Chen Li smiled faintly and said. "Alright, I'll accept her invitation."
"Please follow me, sir." Chen Li then followed the man to a special room, and the room was filled with luxurious furniture and some unusual equipment. "You can wait a little longer, and young miss will see you soon."
"Alright." Chen Li nodded in agreement as he sat down on the empty sofa. 'Hmm, the Nan family is indeed extraordinary, they can even dominate the underworld for a very long time, and no other family can shake their position, including the Long Family. Oh, right, open the Starter Gift Package.'
[Necklace Of Destiny x1 Obtained]
'Hmm? Necklace of Destiny?' Chen Li muttered while observing the gold necklace in his hand, with nine small holes in the necklace. 'What is the function of this necklace? And why are the nine orbs missing?'
"I didn't expect the Necklace of Destiny to be in Master Song's hands." Xiao Huoli said it in surprise.
'Do you know anything about this necklace, Sister Huoli? And what is the use of these nine holes?' Chen Li asked curiously.
Xiao Huoli sighed softly, and she then explained to him. "Necklace of Destiny is the legacy of the late Emperor, and it can transform into various kinds of weapons according to its owner's will. Those nine holes are used to embed nine elemental orbs, and they were created by the ancestors of the Spirit Race. Fire, Water/Ice, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Light, Darkness, Space, and Time Orbs."
Chen Li's eyes lit up hearing Xiao Huoli's explanation; until now, he didn't have a suitable weapon, but now he has a Necklace of Destiny that can transform into various kinds of weapons. 'This is great! Fortunately, I've learned many weapons from Weapon Mastery for nearly three years. But where are the nine elemental orbs now?'
Xiao Huoli sighed again, looking sad; then she explained it to him again. "Even the late Emperor only had a space orb; it was given to him by Sister Kong'er, and it was in her hands now. The time orb was in Big Sister Shijian's hands, but she never gave it to him. As for the other seven orbs, no one knows their whereabouts. In the past, the late Emperor and Master Song tried to find the other seven orbs, but they never managed to find them."
Chen Li disappointedly sighed; if the late Emperor and Song Tianyi couldn't find the remaining seven orbs, how could he find them?
Xiao Huoli shook her head at his disappointed expression; she then patted his shoulder. "Hey, you don't need to be disappointed, Chen Li. Even without the nine elemental orbs, the Necklace of Destiny is already powerful. Moreover, if the elemental orbs are complete, you won't be able to use them because the Qi consumption is very high."
'Sigh, you are right, Sister Huoli. I should be grateful to get a weapon as good as this.' Chen Li replied with a nod; although he felt disappointed, what Xiao Huoli said was true.
Soon, Nan Xinyue walked out of a room wearing a one-step white dress, and the young girl followed behind her.
'Hmm? Why do I feel like I've met this man before? But where did we meet?' Nan Xinyue wondered in her heart; she sat before Chen Li and asked without beating around the bush. "Did you use your superpower while gambling with bald Jiang earlier?" Newest update provıded by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Oh? How can you think that, Miss Xinyue?" Chen Li asked back with a faint smile. 'Even though her body is very slim and flat-chested, I must admit that her face is beautiful.'
"I'm just guessing because bald Jiang often uses his superpower for gambling, but you can beat him so easily." Nan Xinyue then curiously asked. "So, do you have a superpower or not?"
"Unfortunately, I don't have any superpowers, and my victory was pure luck." Chen Li didn't lie to her because he had no superpowers but was a cultivator. Seeing Nan Xinyue's disbelieving expression, he pointed at a device under the table in front of them. "Isn't that a device for detecting superpowers? If you don't believe me, you can test me directly; that way, you can know whether I have superpowers."
"Alright." Nan Xinyue immediately took it and placed it on the table. "You can put your hand in this contraption."
Chen Li smiled faintly and unhesitatingly placed his hand on the device. After waiting a while, the device didn't react because it couldn't detect a cultivator's cultivation. "Do you believe me now, Miss Xinyue?"
Nan Xinyue sighed softly and nodded. "Even though I've seen it myself, I still can't believe your luck is so incredible that you can even beat bald Jiang's superpower."
"Hehe." Chen Li chuckled at that. "I don't know myself, but I have high luck as if the goddess of fortune is always by my side. So what kind of cooperation do you want from me?"
Nan Xinyue directly explained the matter to him. "Frankly speaking, I'm dealing with an expert gambler, and my casino has already lost a lot because of him. Since you could easily beat bald Jiang, I want you to represent my casino and gamble with that person."
"Oh? Then what will you give me if I help you defeat that fellow?" Chen Li himself still needed a lot of money to carry out all his plans because his enemies were not ordinary people; they came from big families, so he would not waste the opportunity to use Nan Xinyue for his benefit.
Nan Xinyue didn't immediately answer his question; she observed Chen Li seriously for quite a while, and only then did she answer. "If you can beat that guy at the gamble, then you can have all of your winnings, and I will also add another two hundred million as your service."
"Alright, I agree with that." After that, Chen Li gave his number to Nan Xinyue. "If that person comes again, you can contact me immediately."
After saying that, Chen Li immediately said goodbye and left the room. Nan Xinyue then ordered the young girl behind her. "You can follow him, but don't make him suspicious, Nan Yi."
"Yes, young miss." Nan Yi instantly disappeared from the room like a shadow.
