Chapter 282: "Capturing Monsters"
When Ainsley heard that from the 51st floor to the 99th floor, the betting chip would no longer be energy crystals, she almost fainted.
I thought I'd just asked Zack for five-coloured crystals this time and play!
The baby didn't know that five, six, and seven-coloured crystals were so precious that no one would take them out just to gamble at the casino.
Thus, the term changed into betting one's treasure.
There were already lots of appraisers at the gambling hall, ready to appraise the treasure's value for the gamblers.
One could find rare potions used as a gambling chip, a unique herb, stones, artefacts, beasts, monsters, and so on.
Of course, not many would bring live beasts and monsters, so they'd just offer the body parts.
Not only the 51st floor and beyond were treasure paradise, tons of mercenaries, treasure hunters and collectors also mingled inside.
The casino ensured the safety of the treasure owners, but only before they gave it away as a betting chip. After they registered their treasure as a betting chip, they had to protect it from thieves and bandits.
Well, there weren't a lot of robbery cases since the gamblers here could afford to hire some high quality bodyguards. Or they themselves were strong ability users.
"M-miss Godtoddler, you can show your treasure you will use as the betting chip a-at the staff responsible for specific games…"
The casino staff didn't notice Ainsley's dark face and kept blabbering. He thought that someone as famous as the Godtoddler would lack no treasures.
And since she never lost even a single gamble, she could just place one gambling chip and would never lose it, right?
However, the reality was quite different. Ainsley had to rack her brain to get a valuable treasure to use as a gambling chip.
'Should I call Zack? But lately, I've been relying on his help...if I keep going like this, my mission rating will drop.'
That's what Zev said the day before to remind Ainsley not to rely on external help heavily.
Thus, this time, she's determined to find her own treasure. But what treasure should she find? After all, there's no way she'd use Cellino as a gambling chip, right?
He's not a thing, and she had no right to pawn him off.
But what treasures did she have? There's none, currently. Only her carriage….and it would be a hassle to show the enormous carriage to every gambler she met.
The treasure wasn't the carriage, anyway. It was the two horses...and it's inconvenient to bring them here.
Ainsley paced back and forth in front of the gambling hall's entrance, deep in thoughts. The baby didn't realise that the gamblers on the floor already caught the news about her.
"What? The Godtoddler is here? Perfect! I shall see what kind of treasure she will use as her betting chip!"
One of the nouveau riche gamblers in the gambling hall almost rushed to the baby to see what kind of treasure she would offer.
As someone with a mysterious image, lots of gamblers thought highly of Ainsley, the Godtoddler. The treasure she would use should also be something rare and valuable!
The collectors, the treasure hunters and the businessmen in the hall also eagerly waited for Ainsley's arrival.
Each of them was itching to gossip about the current Billios Casino's rising star.
Alas, little did they know that the baby was in a pinch. She kept thinking of what treasures she could obtain as fast as she could...but got nothing.
Should she pawn her dimensional bracelet? She wouldn't lose it anyway…
[Don't even think about using your bracelet as a betting chip! All items coming from the system can't be easily used by others aside from the host and the host' closest people!]
With Zev yapping here and there, Ainsley had to cancel her thought of pawning the dimensional bracelet.
Thus, the baby sunk into deep thoughts once more when the silent Godfather suddenly yawned.
[This lord didn't think that you brat is so stupid…]
[Huh? Wha– what? What do you mean, uncle??] Ainsley almost choked on her saliva.
Why are you suddenly roasting me? To think that I admire you, Godfather–
But before Ainsley could curse, the Godfather pointed at Jevon's dragon-like monster and snorted.
[Don't you have that? With your charm ability, you can tame living monsters and even make other non-monster tamers contract it.]
...what? Wait, really??
Ainsley's mouth opened wide. She blinked her crimson eyes at the Godfather, gobsmacked.
I didn't know I could even let non-monster gamers contract a monster that I charmed?
It's common sense that only monster tamers could contract a monster due to monsters' extreme hostile nature toward humans, unlike beasts that could form a contract with non-beast tamers as long as the tamers assisted them.
If Ainsley's charmed monster could actually form a contract with non-monster tamer ability users…
Wouldn't that be terrific?
She...she didn't know she had this ability all along!
[Duh. Of course, you're different from monster tamers. Monster tamers tame monsters for themselves but not using charm ability. It's another type of ability to instill fear and obedience to the monsters.]
The Godfather started to yap, and he truly sounded a bit irritated at Ainsley's blank gaze.
[Yours is different. You make the monsters willingly follow you through love. Even if you ask them to become a slave for other humans, they will comply.]
And once they're bound with a contract, even if they hate the contractor, they can't go against the contractors.
That's how Ainsley could make living monsters as her betting chip. It's indeed a treasure even more valuable than any other treasure!
Enlightened, Ainsley's eyes instantly lit up at the Godfather's words.
[I see! Thanks, uncle Godfather.]
Off we go capturing monsters!
