I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 100
One Week Before the World League (4)
League Casino is a mega-sized casino representing England.
It was established three years ago, and according to rumors, it has surpassed the market capitalization of Las Vegas Sands?
The reason was obvious.
Because the World League, humanity’s greatest sport, is held in England.
From accommodation facilities to card games, slot machines, pachinko, roulette, and so on.
A place was born where you could legally enjoy everything gambling-related.
“Wow.”
The guild members who arrived looked around like country bumpkins who had come up to Seoul.
The place was so crowded it was bursting at the seams.
Not just players, but people from all over the world who came for League tourism were packed into one place.
“Look over there! There’s even a Player Shop!”
Yu Ji-a, excited about her first overseas trip in a long time, pointed here and there as she reported.
‘Player Shop?’
Baek Jin-woo’s gaze turned.
‘Ho.’
From what he could see, it seemed they had made it luxurious like a luxury goods store to sell items.
Due to the possibility of theft, they had elegantly written everything on golden cards.
If you bought those, would the shop owner handle the transaction directly?
“It’s not a bad method, is it?”
“Right!”
Yu Ji-a took out her notebook and eagerly wrote something down.
“Rather than selling at the marketplace, if you brand it and create the perception that it’s luxurious, it would be easier to raise prices too. We should benchmark this right away.”
Wow.
Truly a businesswoman.
Even when out for fun, she’s studying.
“Guild Master, this way.”
Having done quite a bit of research, Hwang Ju-won led from the front.
Winding through the maze-like paths, pushing through people, a secretive sign appeared.
“Here it is. If the outer part is for ordinary tourists, this inner area is specifically for players and the wealthy.”
“Ooh.”
Yu Ji-a exclaimed in admiration.
“So this is how it was.”
“You need to put down a 1 billion deposit to enter, but we were planning to spend it all anyway.”
“Right.”
“Then let’s go in. Everyone brought their passports, right?”
“Yes.”
“Yep!”
There were exactly two things needed for entry.
A passport, and a credit card.
Specifically, a VIP card that could guarantee 1 billion.
“Welcome.”
Upon entering the room, staff members dressed neatly in suits greeted them with bright smiles.
We scattered individually and received guidance from the staff.
“You need to consent to spending the entire 1 billion on internal betting. Also, the maximum amount you can take from here is 100 billion per person.”
Oh, these guys.
They definitely used their heads well.
They allow betting, but don’t permit payout rates beyond a certain limit.
‘Even if you’re lucky, you can only take up to 100 times your bet.’
I acknowledge it.
‘From their perspective, they need to prevent irregulars like me from coming and cleaning them out.’
“If you agree, please sign here, Player Baek Jin-woo.”
The staff, having dealt with many high-ranking people, showed no change in expression even when a national team player came.
They only responded with the same smile as always.
Well.
In a place like this, even more famous players might be present.
Maybe Rachel is here too?
Swish swish.
After signing, they handed over an entry ticket.
The casino VIP room was prepared deep underground.
Was it for thorough security?
All sorts of muscular men with weapons surrounded the area.
Swoosh.
As soon as Baek Jin-woo entered, he looked around.
The room was spacious.
About the size of Seoul Olympic Main Stadium?
It was a hall large enough to accommodate about 100,000 people.
In the very center was a space where you could bet on the League like sports betting, and delicious food and alcohol were provided unlimited around the area.
And there were many people too.
From famous pop singers to quite familiar overseas influencers, businesspeople, tycoons, and so on.
But what stood out most was still…
‘Players.’
As expected.
We weren’t the only ones who came here.
Quite many famous players from countries around the world had gathered.
‘Shusuke is there too.’
Baek Jin-woo, with his good eyesight, could even spot Takahashi Shusuke, whom he had once faced.
It feels like just yesterday that I threatened that guy, but he’s laughing brightly and chattering about something so enjoyable.
“Come on, everyone gather around.”
Hwang Ju-won led the betting.
Had he enjoyed sports betting from before?
“This is similar to horse racing, you know? Predicting wins and losses requires designated groups, so you bet by predicting who will win or what place they’ll get.”
Ho.
Well, if it were a win-draw-loss system, there would be many problems like match-fixing.
In that case, they would have completely restricted betting by players directly involved in the League.
“Of course, England winning has low odds. 1.24. If you bet 1 billion, you can only earn 1.24 billion.”
“That’s stingy, really stingy.”
“Since the majority invests in England, it can’t be helped.”
Naturally, the five famous powerhouse countries had the lowest odds.
England, Japan, USA, Russia, Taiwan.
‘I’d rather not bet than invest there.’
Then what are our country’s odds?
[South Korea : 24.00]
“24 times.”
“That’s lower than expected?”
“Right. It should give us at least 100 times.”
These guys.
They’re quite greedy.
Even 24 times would be 24 billion… They absolutely want to take all 100 billion…
‘I should take it.’
Baek Jin-woo grinned.
“That can be done by combining the folders.”
He pointed at the LED board.
Over there.
Compared to England’s championship odds of 1.24, England’s runner-up odds were 3.14.
Quite high.
“Since the tournament bracket is determined by preliminary scores anyway, if we just get the highest score, we’ll have the highest probability of meeting England in the finals.”
The bracket isn’t decided by luck.
It’s designed by the system’s calculations so that the best teams meet at the very end.
Even if we’re unlucky enough to meet England in the group stage?
It doesn’t matter.
Since we’re allies anyway, we can score similarly and then absorb overwhelming points elsewhere.
Now then.
[South Korea : 24.00]
[United Kingdom : 3.14]
If we combine these two folders?
[Total : 75.36]
A monstrous odds ratio of over 75 times is born.
If we bet 11 billion, it’s odds that could earn us 829 billion.
“Even if we lose, it’s only 11 billion, and if we win, isn’t it just right for pocket money?”
Baek Jin-woo said with a slight smile.
Really.
What a feeling.
To think the day would come when I could call 829 billion pocket money.
By the way, the odds are calculated including all taxes.
If things go as planned, we can receive exactly that much!
“I’ve decided!”
Yu Ji-a shouted.
“If we win this, I’ll build a magnificent SKY headquarters next to Yubaek City!”
“Ooh!”
“SKY headquarters?”
“This is getting me motivated!”
The guild members clasped hands with each other.
“Even if winning is difficult, it’s worth trying.”
“Right, gambling is originally about having fun with small money anyway.”
Whether 11 billion is small money is questionable, but the Players here are qualified to think so.
‘That’s right.’
Baek Jin-woo doesn’t even consider 11 billion as money these days either.
“Will you all be betting with this composition?”
The dealer in charge muttered in surprise, and that’s when a commotion broke out.
“You’ve got some guts, don’t you?”
Step, step.
Because some man was walking over from far away, clapping his hands.
“Huh.”
“That, that person is.”
Seeing the guild members getting agitated, he must be quite a famous person…
‘Ah, Jenos?’
That’s right.
The person who approached was Jenos from America.
Since he had memorized his face through searches, Baek Jin-woo could recognize him immediately.
America’s #1 ranking.
One of the Five Emperors.
‘Wow.’
Baek Jin-woo was glad to see him.
His flattering chat messages at age 32 still remained in his memory.
“Are you South Korea’s national representatives?”
At that moment.
Jenos and Baek Jin-woo’s eyes met.
Baek Jin-woo’s lips curled up slightly while Jenos licked his lips with his tongue.
By the way, on Baek Jin-woo’s shoulder sat the translation bird he received from Jasim.
“Perhaps.”
“…”
“Would it be rude if I asked to speak with you privately for a moment?”
32 years old.
Jenos was gentlemanly.
He politely requested a conversation with Baek Jin-woo, and it was the guild members who were surprised by his demeanor.
‘Ooh.’
‘That proud Jenos is acting like that?’
‘The guild master’s class is definitely different.’
‘The Five Emperors really think the guild master is Jinugod.’
The guild members looked back and forth between Jenos and Baek Jin-woo with admiring eyes.
Baek Jin-woo nodded.
“Sure.”
Jenos and Baek Jin-woo moved to a corner of the room.
“I’ll be honest.”
It was Jenos who spoke first.
“I did some background research on you.”
“…”
“Right on the day the world changed, you had a traffic accident. You woke up three years later. Don’t get too angry. Any of the Five Emperors who knew about you would have done at least that much.”
Well, it’s not that I’m angry.
I expected it to some degree.
If Baek Jin-woo had been in their position, wouldn’t he have done the same?
‘I should rather think it’s fortunate.’
That they left me alone despite knowing.
Honestly, if they had been even a little malicious, they might have tried to eliminate me, saying they needed to crush the sprout.
For now.
‘Jenos is 100% certain I’m Jinugod.’
I don’t know the reason.
That’s just the feeling I got.
If that weren’t the case, would he really approach me like this and say such things?
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Just because.”
Jenos answered immediately.
“Be careful, Jinugod.”
“Of what?”
“Not all of the Five Emperors are friendly toward you.”
“…”
“You’re independent. You’re not cooperative with information exchange. And you’re too outstanding. You’re a natural target for restraint. Rachel doesn’t seem to think that way though.”
“I have a question.”
“Speak.”
“Why are you 100% certain that I’m Jinugod?”
“Hmm.”
Jenos closed his eyes slightly and pondered.
“To be honest, it’s not so much certainty as it is trusting Rachel.”
“Rachel?”
“Yeah, she’s convinced of it. Rachel’s insight when I met her in real life is extraordinary. She thinks you’re Jinugod and genuinely wants to interact with you.”
“For all that, there hasn’t been any contact from her?”
“Because she doesn’t know your intentions.”
“…”
My intentions?
Jenos chuckled and continued.
“Have you ever contacted Rachel first?”
“…No?”
I honestly hadn’t given it much thought.
Rather, I was only thinking about not getting caught by the Five Emperors and building up my strength…
“Rachel is exactly like that. A dog waiting for its master.”
“…”
“She’s probably panting like a dog, waiting only for your contact. How about it, do you want to meet her?”
“Now?”
At Baek Jin-woo’s words, Jenos smiled broadly.
“Rachel, Sugoi, Moscow Man, Baekcheon… They’re all here. They’re watching from the real VVIP Room that ordinary people don’t know about.”
“Crazy.”
There was even a VVIP Room inside the VIP Room?
At this rate, won’t a VVVIP Room appear too?
‘Hmm.’
Meeting the Five Emperors.
Baek Jin-woo was curious too.
To see the faces of those he’d shared bonds with for 5 years in reality?
Just as he was pondering this.
KWAAAAANG!
That’s when an eardrum-splitting explosion came from the entrance.
“What the hell is that now?”
Baek Jin-woo frowned.
