Free Web NovelChapter 229: The Addiction Never Dies, Origin Credit Lost! Plotting to Extract, Golden Chamber
At the same time, in the town, Jennifer and Ryan were speaking with the town head, David Wilson.
"It is good that you guys ditched Chad and that kiddo Caelus." David burst out laughing upon hearing the two.
"Caelus is a joker who has no value to my town. Chad, on the other hand, refuses to listen to me. He does as he pleases."
"We were wrong for entering his party in the first place," Jennifer said.
"He was wasting our time, helping his bum friend level up. He did not value our time at all."
"If he dies, then it is his fault, not ours," Ryan added.
"Very good," David said with a smile. "I like both of your temperaments. I will arrange a new party for you, do not worry."
"Thank you, David," Jennifer and Ryan said in unison.
They felt guilty for ditching Chad and Caelus before, but after talking with David, that feeling was completely gone. It was replaced with reverence for this man who lent a helping hand to them.
David smiled.

Caelus’s vision blurred. The next moment, he and Chad appeared in the market.
Endless chatter flooded his mind. People were negotiating, crashing out, getting angry, and businessmen were convincing people to buy things.
Many stores were present. They surprisingly looked both modern and ancient at the same time.
"We are going straight to the place that buys monster cores here in the market. Got it?" Chad said.
"No gambling dens," he added.
"Fine." Caelus’s lips twitched.
This guy thought too poorly of him. He was not some gambling maniac who would immediately get triggered by something as simple as gambling.
------
A few minutes later, Chad and Caelus stood in front of a building that read: Origin Credit Gambling Den.
The one who ran this was a non-player from the Origin Expanse who had gold teeth and a crooked look.
"Wow, young master, look at the wheel rolling. I am sure you will hit at least a 10x rebate from this."
A few minutes ago, Caelus and Chad were approached by this man to try out a simple game of gambling.
It was a cashback gamble. The fee was 100 Origin Credits because that was all he had. If they put it down, they could go as far as a 100x rebate, meaning his 100 Origin Credits could become 10,000 Origin Credits. If it was a 1000x rebate, he could get 100,000 Origin Credits!
The starting number could be 100,000 Origin Credits, and if he hit 1000x on that, it would be even more!
The money they gave to the owner could not be taken back. That was his, and the player only got the rebated money.
The gambling wheel of the NPC was illusory, and he waved his hand to create the wheel. He wondered, did this guy have a gambling talent, or was this some illusion? But he saw the Origin Credits entering the wheel, so he was even more confused.
He did not ask the man immediately. The man did not seem like he would answer even if he asked.
Caelus looked at it with an expectant gaze, while Chad on the side facepalmed.
This guy, was he perhaps physically attracted to gambling? It took two normal words to sway this guy into committing a gamble.
If he asked this question directly, Caelus would without a doubt reply he was only attracted to Sylvia. Gambling was second in his heart, Sylvia was first.
Soon the wheel stopped spinning, and Caelus’s face dimmed.
Chad sighed.
The arrow landed directly on 0x. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Meaning he had lost.
The person running the den wore an apologetic smile.
"Looks like your luck ran out, friend," he said.
"You can always come try tomorrow."
Caelus almost cursed hearing this.
He did not do it in the end. It was just 100 Origin Credits. He would get more as soon as he sold the monster cores.
"I will not be coming back tomorrow," Caelus replied darkly.
The guy let out a chuckle.
"Well, if you want to come back, then feel free to come. I will not force you, boss. My name is Mason."
"Mason." Caelus remembered the name. "By the way, do you have a talent related to a gambling wheel?"
Mason froze hearing this, but he shook his head.
"Talent? Talent awakening is rare. How can I have such a thing?"
Caelus gave him a suspicious stare. He was now more sure that this dude had some talent.
If he did, Caelus was going to ask him for a friendly match that had respawns and kindly kill him so he could acquire it.
This gambling wheel did not have the logo of Origin Credits until the time Mason put his Origin Credits into it. Meaning, it must be a very versatile gambling wheel!
As a professional gambler, he naturally paid attention to such things.
He must come back here and get friendlier with this guy to reveal whether he had it or not.
He would maybe also gamble a few more times on the way.
Killing two birds with one stone, as they called it.
Afterward, Caelus said his goodbyes to Mason and left with Chad. Their next destination was a place where they could sell the cores.
Chad said he knew a place. It was called Golden Chamber.
They were a big figure in the world and bought large amounts of monster cores from players to make stat-increasing chips and for other refining purposes.
They basically bought it from players and sold it at a higher price for profit.
That was what all other establishments across the world that bought monster cores from the players did either way.
One could even sell it to the US government. But the majority went for Golden Chamber due to their trust and the benefits one got from becoming an official partner who provided monster cores.
They set a tier system for players. For a player forming a partnership with them to sell cores, they get an instant 3% off on every purchase and sometimes a 3% cashback.
That was a Tier 1 player of the Golden Chamber.
They soon found the building of the Golden Chamber and entered it.
It was filled with many players, chattering, buying, and selling.
