Phantasmal Genesis

Chapter 24: 5 men



Chapter 24: 5 men

If it was anyone else, they wouldve lost this game already.

But Meng Ke was different.

Unbothered by their gaze, Meng Ke calmly flipped over his three cards.

Excuse me, I win.

And after he spoke, he immediately took all the cash on the table.

With illusions, not just 88K, even winning with the biggest possible hand every round was easy.

They wouldnt be able to find out anything even if they checked his cards.

It was impossible to be accused of cheating, there were the right amount of cards, the dealing was done by the house, and during this entire time, Meng Ke only touched his three cards when it was flipped.

If he could cheat in such a situation, then even these people would think that they were in a nightmare.

As such, it was impossible for these three people to suspect him.

Organising the money, Meng Ke started to shuffle the cards and cut them. Since he had won the last game, he was now the dealer for this game.

He dealt the cards. His luck this round was good, with a pair of 9s.

The money accumulated on the poker table again. Meng Ke swept through it with his spiritual power, the only person with cards bigger than him was a flush from the cap-wearing mans 345.

And in the end, only the two of them were left.

The two had chosen to not reveal their cards, instead relying on their luck and waiting for the opponent to open their cards because of their impatience.

But this time, Meng Kes gaze wavered as if he was hesitating. Suddenly, he peeked at his own cards first before throwing some cash to open the opponents card.

Seeing the last card, he sighed a breath of relief as a suppressed smile appeared on his face.

How dangerous. Sorry, it seems like I won. He took the money on the table yet again.

After two rounds, he had finally gathered some capital.

In the third game, after looking at his cards, Meng Ke watched a man with cards bigger than his, fold even without using his illusion ability in the second round.

Winning twice in a row had grabbed their attention, and if he won the third round easily again, they would start suspecting him.

How could you constantly win in poker?

He just had to balance his win rate well to prevent losing his capital.

As he played, his capital went as low as ten thousand to as high as ninety thousand.

And as the game slowly continued, he was now sure that none of the four men on the table was cheating, they were playing with their luck and experience.

And they were truly rich, one of them had lost more than 200 thousand, but his calm expression didnt falter in the slightest.

This was the last game.

Meng Ke looked at his cards.

AAK

Looking around the table, he folded without a second thought and left the game.

Its quite late, and its almost time to eat. Lets play again next time, Ill head off first.

And after he spoke, he stored his winnings in a black bag and left the room.

Walking out of the small shop, he immediately headed off to the bank in a cab.

The 3 digits in his bank account quickly raised to $135,700. (USD 26,000)

Did he do anything?

No!

He didnt do anything, he just played an afternoons worth of Fried Golden Flowers.

And easily got $130,000.

This was an amount that some office workers couldnt even earn after a few years!

He was overjoyed.

As he headed back home, Meng Ke was in high spirits.

Returning home, he pulled open his curtains, allowing the golden rays from the sunset to shine onto his face and sat back down on his desk, closing his eyes in thought as his fingers tapped the table.

Developing his ability was his priority, earning money was secondary, and $130,000 was definitely sufficient.

Afterwards, Meng Ke organised his thoughts.

His body strengthening was on track, but the absorption of testosterone required time, and he was already speeding it up.

Meng Ke rubbed his temples. Putting this aside, his earth plan was his first concern. However, it was hard for his illusions to affect reality.

However, after he realised he could affect the beggars subconscious, he had a bold thought.

Creating a subconscious world!

With his control over illusions, creating a world in his illusions through Meng Kes ability would make him a being that was akin to the creator god.

As long as he had the guts, nothing was impossible.

Was this the true way to unlock his ability?

Thats right, if illusions affected ones senses, even players could enter this world!

It was like how Chen Li had entered the body in his illusions, despite his consciousness being able to control his body, as long as Meng Ke used his spiritual power to take control, his body would seem as if it had lost its soul.

Maybe I should look for people in vegetative states?

For them, he wouldnt even need to control their bodies, he just needed to switch their senses to their body in the illusion.

Meng Kes consciousness travelled to a nearby public hospital, using his spiritual powers, he immediately identified a few targets.

Suddenly, his eyebrow twitched. He found two familiar figures within this group, it was the mocking woman and the muscled man.

Excluding these two, Meng Ke attached his spiritual threads to the remaining five people.

Blocking their five senses, Meng Ke created the same illusion in all of their minds. In the next second, he connected them to their body in the illusion.

You guys are the worst quality Ive seen!

Wh-What?

Fang Bei crawled up from the ground, in his surroundings were four people dressed in modern fashion lying down in a crude tent.

A white-haired, mysterious man was standing near them, he had a face full of countless spiral-patterned red lines and was dressed in a black robe with a blood-red sword on his waist.

Where is this? Didnt I die?

An elegant man with glasses crawled up as well and started to survey his surroundings.

Fang Bei!

Fang Bei suddenly recalled his identity, this bespectacled man was his friend Ji Zhen, who was in the same vehicle that he was in, andthe vehicle flipped

Fang Bei cautiously pulled Ji Zhen away from the remaining unconscious people, and the two of them stood at the side. Fang Bei pointed at the mysterious man nearby, signalling for Ji Zhen to keep quiet.

It didnt take long for another person to wake up.

It was strange, this man was surprisingly calm and simply stared at the mysterious man, before taking a look at Fang Bei and Ji Zhen who didnt dare to speak. After that, he simply stood there.

After a while, the last two men woke up as well.

Fang Bei, do you know whats going on?

This strange place had frightened Ji Zhen, and he turned to ask the calm Fang Bei.

In his memory, the bus they were in crashed into the railing with a loud band, and now they were here.

Tch, you guys are of the worst quality Ive seen.

No one talked for a while until the mysterious man suddenly spoke, and a strange coldness surged into everyones hearts as they turned their shocked gaze towards the man.

Who are you? Why are we here?

A skinny old man dressed in a black Chinese tunic stumbled forward, his eyes filled with shock.
