Chapter 3941 Concept God? [Inevitable Victory in Every Gamble]?
"You lost, Captain~"

Bang-!
Suddenly, a deafening gunshot rang out in the control room... The crew members who were operating the flagship trembled slightly, but none of them dared to turn around and look.

At the same time, a dark scar appeared on the forehead of the captain of this flagship!

Even an Immortal of the [Morning Star] level, unless they possess a physical specialty, would find it difficult to emerge unscathed from such a powerful [scientific] pistol without using any force.

Of course... he couldn't possibly die, after all, he had the foundation—but the enormous impact still caused the captain to faint, and then he collapsed and died on the ground.

The Star Witch watched this scene expressionlessly... It was a gamble with absolutely no skill involved: a powerful pistol with twelve magazines and a single bullet; they would decide who would fire first by playing rock-paper-scissors, until the bullet was fired...

However, in the third round, the flagship's captain was shot by Xiao Meng.

The witch didn't know if the captain and Xiaomeng had really made many bets and lost every time—but the captain was clearly not in a good state right now.

...I have a feeling that this woman named Xiaomeng is dangerous?

"He's not dead!" Having finished her bet, Xiaomeng walked up to the witch with her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward. Her long, straight black hair fell naturally, and she looked up at her from the side. "But the feeling of revenge is really exhilarating!"

The witch's eye twitched almost imperceptibly... She felt more and more that this little dream was like a venomous snake—the sixth sense of immortal beings is usually quite accurate.

"By the way, you seem to be quite skilled at this kind of thing?" the witch said abruptly.

"Such a thing?" Xiao Meng blinked, not at all like someone who had just finished a high-stakes gamble.

The witch said irritably, "I mean, when it comes to betting against others... are you really just a logistics worker at a supply depot?"

Xiaomeng lightly touched her red lips with her finger, "Maybe it's because someone in my family works in a casino, so I've been exposed to it since I was little? But actually, I quite like gambling... that feeling of my heart pounding when facing an unknown outcome."

"...A casino?" The witch suddenly frowned.

She had just escaped from the Void Capital, so she couldn't help but react excessively to the word "casino."

"It's just a small local gambling den!" Xiao Meng said with a slight smile. "It's for adults, like merchants traveling by, to have some entertainment. Is there a problem?"

"No..." The witch shook her head and stopped dwelling on the question.

—Maybe I'm just being too sensitive?

—How could this girl who was captured and brought aboard the ship be related to [Eslord]?

After ceasing her obsession with Xiaomeng's origins, the witch turned to the question that truly interested her. She spotted a high-ranking-looking crew member in the control room and said calmly, "Come here."

The man who came over was a man in his early twenties with gray skin all over his body, short hair, pointed ears, and a crescent moon mark between his eyebrows.

This is a very common race on the [Science Side], who have a special talent for mental power, making them well-suited to use [Science Side] ships with telekinetic transmission systems.

"name?"

"Guest..." The guest stood tense, his eyes only daring to look straight ahead, his hands tightly clasped together.

The witch rested her chin on her hand and casually asked, "Why is the Tiannan family's fleet taking such a remote route, and with such a large escort? What are you transporting?"

"This..." The guest hesitated, glancing subconsciously at the captain who had just lost the bet and was now lying unconscious on the ground.

The witch immediately sneered, "So, this is how you plan to 'join forces' with me?"

"I...I'll talk, I'll talk!" The guest was immediately shocked and then told the whole story.

……

In the distant border between the [Scientific Side] and the [Magic Side], there exists a chaotic region... Within this region, the two different forms of void order can exhibit a limited degree of fusion.

The Tiannan family is one of the great noble families belonging to the Atlantis Empire, one of the great empires of the Science Side. The items they are transporting this time are a rare resource produced in that fusion region.

The reason for taking such a remote route is that the Tiannan family is involved in smuggling.

The planet that produces this rare resource is nominally a collaborative project between the royal family of Abrier, another major power on the scientific side, and a powerful god on the magical side.

This matter cannot be exposed, otherwise even with the power of the Tiannan family, they might not be able to withstand the wrath of the powerful gods of the Magic side and the royal family of Abriel!

"So it was smuggling, no wonder." The witch narrowed her eyes. "However, this kind of smuggling is quite risky... The Tiannan family only sent a five-star Morning Star to be in charge, they're really bold."

The guest said nervously, "Actually, this is only a small part. The real bulk is escorted by a [Radiant Moon] expert, taking a different route. For each shipment, the [Tiannan] family dispatches at least ten caravans..."

"Oh ho?" The Star Witch raised an eyebrow. "So, I'm pretty lucky, aren't I? I've picked up an easy target right away."

—After all, the upper and lower limits of [Radiant Moon] fluctuate greatly... Who knows what special abilities the other party [Radiant Moon] has? Even she could be caught off guard at any time.

The guest casually delivered a rainbow-colored attack, saying, "That's only natural. After all, you are a witch who can navigate the encirclement of the three great empires with ease. There must be a reason for that!"

The witch said calmly, "Take me to see that batch of supplies... Also, transfer all the balance in your accounts to this account."

After saying that, the witch threw out a bank card with the [Void Bank] logo—a very common type of anonymous blank card.

Everyone was taken aback.

The witch smiled and said, "You haven't forgotten, have you? I'm here to rob you, have you?"

"...How...how could this be!" The guest, with a smile that was more like a grimace, slowly took out the bank card... The operation was very simple. He gritted his teeth and actually transferred the entire balance, leaving only a fractional amount.

……

The crew on the flagship didn't earn much, but the large quantities were plentiful and filling... The witch, whose wallet had recovered a little, was in a good mood as she looked at the smuggled rare resources with amazement.

As a witch born on the [magic side], she was extremely familiar with the origins of this rare resource!
"It's actually [Shadow Silver]... This thing is really rare!" The witch's lips were already cracking open. The depression brought on by a long period of bad luck was finally getting better.

"What is this? Is it valuable?" Xiaomeng asked curiously. "It's such a small piece!"

The Shadow Silver was currently being stored in a special container, which was only one cubic meter in size—while the Shadow Silver inside was only about the size of a basketball, pitted and irregular.

"This is just the raw ore," the witch said calmly. "After it's fully purified, it'll be about the size of a fist, weighing only a few kilograms. Don't underestimate this lump of stuff. After deducting transportation costs and refining expenses, you can probably earn tens of millions of small world origin units."

"So many!!" Xiao Meng was immediately shocked. "The guests just said that there are ten caravans smuggling goods, tens of millions multiplied by 10, that's so much!"

“You can’t calculate it like that.” The witch shook her head. “It’s valuable, but the key is how much can be sold at once. Moreover, the mining of Shadow Silver is extremely difficult, and the mining cycle is equally outrageous… It seems that the Tiannan family’s smuggling business is being supported by a mole within the Abriere royal family, and they must be taking a large cut.”

Xiao Meng stuck out her little tongue. "Now that we've discovered this secret, we won't be silenced, will we?"

Miss Witch simply shrugged—there were countless reasons why she could be silenced by the three great empires on the [Science Side], so one more wouldn't make a difference.

She immediately took action, opening her exclusive [Star Creation Realm] and directly containing the cubic container inside—the [Shadow Magic Silver] ore was extremely valuable, and directly creating it through [Star Creation] would be counterproductive.

—We need to find a suitable place to sell the stolen goods!
—As expected, I still have to go to the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness…

"guest!"

"exist!!"

"Use this set of coordinates to initiate a space jump," the witch calmly instructed. "Also, sever all communication with the escort ships."

The guest was taken aback and quickly glanced at the coordinates given by the witch... Damn it, it actually required fifteen consecutive jumps!
Of all the caravans, only this flagship could withstand the strain—but its engines were probably on the verge of failure.
……

"Hmm... What's going on with the flagship? Why did it suddenly activate spatial jump? We haven't reached the next jump node yet! Let's find out what's going on!"

"The flagship has severed all signal links... The flagship has activated spatial acceleration!"

"Oh no! The flagship is in trouble... Is the captain going to abscond with the funds?! Is he betraying the Tiannan family?"

"Lock onto the flagship immediately, we can't let it get away!"

"They...they've left!"

"Damn it!"

"Report to headquarters immediately and say that Tian Nanqi stole goods and fled!"

……

Jump, jump, jump...

After four consecutive space jumps, the escort ship was unlikely to catch up—after all, this was a route personally designed by the witch, so the speed could be slowed down a bit to allow the flagship's engines to rest.

In Captain... Tian Nanqi's room.

"Alright, you're free now. I'll have someone take you to the nearest planet. There's some travel money here; it should be enough for you to get home."

The witch took out some travel supplies... since they were all contributed by the crew members on the flagship, she didn't feel bad about using them.

Xiao Meng didn't take it, but asked curiously, "Where are you going next?"

The witch raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "What, you're planning to come with me? Someone like you... a nobody of unknown origin? Actually, with your abilities, leaving this ship shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Xiao Meng remained silent.

The witch crossed her long legs and said, "Although Tian Nanqi is a piece of trash in my eyes, a five-star [Morning Star] is not some Void Immortal moe pig... Would he be so easily toyed with by you, wishing he were dead?"

"I...I have..." Xiaomeng hesitated, "...a reason I can't tell..."

"Then I have even less reason to let you follow me." The witch sneered. "You should get off the ship now. Sending you to the nearest planet seems too merciful. I'll just give you an escape pod."

Xiao Meng thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really need money?"

"uh-huh?"

Xiao Meng said seriously, "If, if I can help you make a lot of money, could you let me stay temporarily?"

The witch rubbed her chin. "You?"

Xiaomeng nodded seriously, "I can prove it to you!"

The witch, with a "no harm in trying" attitude, chuckled and said, "Then you'd better not disappoint me... But how are you going to prove it on this ship?"

"I will try my best!" Xiaomeng said, clenching her fist.

……

“…Win?”

Miss Witch gasped in disbelief—she was wondering how this mysterious Xiaomeng would make money, but she never expected it to be such a simple and brutal method!

Gambling – Virtual Online Casino!
Here's roughly what happened.

Xiao Meng borrowed 1,000 units of small world essence from her and then entered a certain [XX Royal Casino Online Platform] - half an hour later, Xiao Meng won ten games in a row, and her 1,000 units of essence grew to more than four million!
Damn it! ?
"You... how did you do that? You can influence the rules of this platform, can you?" The witch frowned—in this kind of money-grabbing platform, to win ten games in a row, it would be a miracle if there was no cheating.

"Can...can you keep this a secret for me?" Xiaomeng asked hesitantly.

Miss Witch shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

Xiao Meng took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I was born with a special ability that allows me to win every bet!"

The witch's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly. "Win every bet?"

Xiao Meng nodded. "Yes, no matter who the opponent is, what the stakes are, or how the bet is made, I can win if I want to... However, this ability can only be activated about once every seven days. I have tried it many times."

The witch gasped inwardly!
Winning ten times in seven days—what kind of incredible feat is that?! The void may be full of wonders... but does such an outrageous divine skill really exist?!
If it's true, then Xiao Meng is no trouble at all!

This is practically a golden egg-laying harem! Even the witch can't resist the urge to lick it!

"...How many people know about your ability?" the witch asked abruptly.

Xiao Meng could only say, "Only my mother... Because of this ability, I've been imprisoned by her since I was little. Relying on this ability, my mother is actually... actually a powerful immortal being. Actually... actually, I escaped and hid in the supply point's base, trying very hard to conceal myself..."

"Your story is terrible."

"I had no choice!" Xiaomeng stuck out her tongue and chuckled. "Because even I can't explain this ability, I could only come up with a really bad story... So, are you satisfied with my money-making ability?"

"Well..."

The witch narrowed her eyes. "It's not impossible for you to follow me for now, but you can only use the [Win Every Gamble] ability with my permission, and during this time, you must follow my orders."

"Ok!"

"Let's make a contract." The witch chuckled and waved her hand, sending out a beam of divine light. "This is a soul contract. If you break it, your soul will be burned... It'll be very painful, almost like being stabbed a thousand times per minute with a spiked club."

"..." Xiao Meng blinked, but instead of signing, she asked curiously, "What if you break your promise and abandon me?"

A princess with the divine ability to lay golden eggs, and who is bound by a contract to obey her orders—she really couldn't think of any reason to drive her away.

"If I abandon you, then I will suffer the same pain as you under our contract, okay?" the witch said casually.

"That's too cruel!" Xiaomeng shook her head, thought for a moment and said, "How about this, if you don't want me anymore, then you'll have bad luck for the rest of your life, you'll trip and fall while walking, you'll choke on water, you'll have nightmares while sleeping... all the money you earn will disappear, but at least you'll still be alive!"

The witch couldn't help but hum in disbelief... Damn it, what kind of wicked vow is this?

She had no idea that the soul contract she had drawn up would have such a miraculous effect!
—Do you even know what it means that the copyright holder has the final right of interpretation... you slut!
Because it was a contract she herself had drafted, she could break off the relationship at any time if she wanted to. Therefore, the great Star Witch signed the agreement with Xiaomeng without any pressure and ultimately gained a princess with the divine skill of "always winning at gambling" and the ability to lay golden eggs!
...However, the only trouble might be the mother that Xiaomeng mentioned.

Although Xiaomeng's story is terrible and mostly made up... her mother probably does exist. And given Xiaomeng's special abilities, her mother must be incredibly powerful after all these years.

[Radiant Moon]...or even, the pinnacle of [Radiant Moon]?
But who cares about that? As the saying goes, the bold get rich while the timid starve. At worst, we can just find a place to hide. If Xiaomeng's mother had any ability, she would have already caught her and taken her back. How could it be her turn?

In short!!
—In seven days, I'm going to be rich!!!
