Chapter 2711 - You’re Good (1/2)

Han Sen had heard him repeat those three words several times while they gambled. Han Sen had won seven times. By now, the bull monster’s eyes looked as if they were going to burst into flames. Han Sen was worried that the beast might attack him out of frustration.

“How about you shake the coin, and I will guess?” Han Sen suggested, setting the coin down in front of the monster.

When the bull monster heard him say this, his bull eyes brightened. He reached out a massive hand, using a power to pull the coin up into his coarse palms.

“You will do the guessing. We are still betting for that shield on your back and the deified geno cores that I lost. You will have to give them back,” the bull monster said to Han Sen while holding that coin.

“Sure. I’m willing to bet it all.” Han Sen blinked and went on to ask, “Brother Bull, what are you going to bet?”

The bull monster hesitated. It only had seven geno cores, and they had all been lost to Han Sen. It had nothing more to gamble with.

There were many elite and powerful xenogeneics scattered throughout the universe, but few of them would think of hiding something on purpose. They tended to be amazingly honest.

The bull monster wasn’t really giving up as much as it might have seemed. It had seven geno cores, but it had only created one of them by itself. The other six had been stolen from other xenogeneics it had killed.

“Stolen” probably wasn’t the right word, though. The bull monster had eaten the bodies of the xenogeneics, and when he ran across their geno cores, he thought they might prove useful. Therefore, he took them. And now, on this day, he had used them for gambling.

Han Sen noticed that the bull monster wasn’t speaking. He suspected that it had nothing left to use as a wager. He was worried that the bull monster might get upset if it really had nothing left to offer. He quickly said, “How about this, Brother Bull? You’re smart and powerful enough to beat all the deifieds you come across. You could probably gather ten shields and 100 geno cores without much difficulty, if you wanted to. How about you do a favor for me as a bet?”

“What favor would that be?” The bull monster was honest, but he wasn’t stupid. He looked slightly warily at Han Sen.

“Actually, the favor wouldn’t really be helping me. I feel bad for you, Brother Bull. It was that godd*mn *sshole that summoned you. He didn’t bring you a sacrifice. He was just playing you. If I see him again, I will try to punish him on your behalf. But I’m so weak… I’m not sure if I can fight him. It would be very embarrassing if I had to ask you to fight him on my behalf,” Han Sen confessed, looking at the bull with embarrassment.

When the bull monster heard this, he thought Han Sen was a very nice person. He actually wanted to help him. He looked at Han Sen and nodded. “You’re good.”

“Then it is settled. If I lose, you can have the shield and your geno cores back. And if you lose, when I find that guy again, I will ask you to help me out with him. And you will help me, then and there,” Han Sen explained, carefully confirming their arrangement.

“Sure,” the bull monster said with a nod. Then, he proceeded to shake the coin.

Han Sen watched the way the bull monster shook the coin. He knew that the creature wasn’t very good at gambling.

After shaking it for a while, the bull monster held his hand out in front of Han Sen. With an awkward look, he said, “You can guess.”

“Brother Bull, do you know if it is the image or the number?” Han Sen asked with a smile.

“About that…” The bull monster tried to think. He opened his hand and glanced at the coin. Then, with a confident look, he said, “Of course I know what it is. Hurry up and guess.”

“I guess…” Han Sen drew his voice out deliberately. He watched the bull monster’s face. The bull monster looked very nervous, and then he went on to say, “It is the image.”

When Han Sen said that, the bull monster’s face collapsed.

“Do it again.” The bull monster gnashed its teeth and started shaking the coin.
