Chapter 1567: 400: Gambling City Turmoil, Praise for Emperor Zhao

The next day, dawn gently broke. The doors of Destiny Casino slowly opened amidst the misty sea fog.

The lingering warmth of the previous day’s revelry had not entirely dissipated, yet the silhouettes of otherworldly visitors, unable to suppress their curiosity, clutched their casino tokens and stepped into this realm shrouded in the unknown.

The scenery inside the casino seemed like a world apart from the outside.

Visitors who entered were instantly enveloped in supreme luxury.

The high, distant domes were not physical structures but were instead composed of flowing silver runes.

Soft light poured down, illuminating every corner of the different architectural areas inside without being glaring.

The floor was paved with deep purple Crystal Stone, beneath which lay a sealed, flowing star river; with every step a visitor took, fine starlight rippled from beneath their feet, slowly dissipating several meters beyond.

The columns supporting the hall were carved with dark golden giant beasts spiraling upwards. Embedded within the gaps of their Scale Armor were dazzling energy gems, with the beast heads held high, gripping crystal lamps in their mouths, splitting the casino’s light and shadow with rich layers.

The gaming tables inside were also carved from whole Spirit Crystals, exquisite like works of art.

Even the air was filled with fragrance, personally blended by Life Throat using various Spirit Plant spices, a breath of which would elevate the spirits of visitors.

The luxurious structures were built with significant sacrificial power.

These seemingly meaningless arrangements were actually sensory traps woven by Life Throat.

Before crafting this casino, he had studied a vast amount of psychology materials in the library and had deep discussions with Ah Lan.

Thus, the initial framework of the casino was constructed.

The luxury decor served four deeper purposes beyond showcasing Destiny Casino’s wealth.

The first goal was to establish a subliminal sense of disparity.

This extremely luxurious environment would invisibly elevate the casino’s status, causing the visiting Alien Race to psychologically feel inferior.

Giving them the impression that here, resources they treasure in daily life appear insignificant.

This sense of disparity would weaken their judgment, making them more susceptible to the casino’s established rules.

Subconsciously, they believe that operators capable of running such a place must be strong and a symbol of "fairness."

The second point was to weaken rationality and stimulate desire.

Every resource in the casino, when placed outside, could be converted into resources, even war resources.

This was a great temptation for the visitors.

They must surely wonder why resources with practical utility were used as decoration.

When senses are enveloped in luxury far beyond everyday consumption, the ability for rational thinking becomes impaired.

This environment keeps amplifying the visitors’ inner greed because wealth is just within reach.

In such an environment, thoughts of a single win changing fate constantly attack reason.

The third goal was to create an immersive experience, blurring the concept of value.

So that Alien Race visitors fully immerse themselves in this game of money and luck.

Believing that here, the use of chips is merely part of the game, making them easily bet and call, forgetting the real resource cost behind the chips.

The fourth goal was to provide winners with extreme vanity and satisfaction.

After winning chips, they could quickly convert them into resources or go experience the entertainment facilities of the affiliated casino.

Exchange them for delicious Spirit Food and various other services.

What Alien Race visitors gain, beyond resource earnings, is a sense of psychological satisfaction akin to an identity elevation.

This experience is something only Dream Island can offer.

No other region in the Bright Star Sea Area can be found.

This is the addictive nature brought by the realization of benefits.

Driving gamblers to constantly pursue the next victory, wishing to repeat this illusion of nobility.

The opulent casino built by Life Throat with a huge investment is essentially a grand application of psychology.

Dismantling visitors’ defenses in the gentlest way, stirring their hidden desires.

Allowing every Alien Species stepping into this place to, while indulging in the utmost visual and sensory enjoyment, unknowingly lower their guard against risks.

Willingly becoming a cog in the wheel of Destiny Casino’s development.

At this moment, most new Alien Race visitors, holding chips in hand, did not place bets but curiously observed the gameplay at the tables.

Meanwhile, the busiest area in the casino was a shop to the right of the entrance.

There were no gaming tables there; it was the pawnshop set up by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce in Destiny Casino.

Several players, wearing the sharp uniforms of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, were busily working inside.

They were all dispatched by Ah Lan, providing resource exchange for chip services here.

The core purpose of this pawnshop’s existence was not to profit from exchange differences.

Here, whatever value the resource holds, so too is the number of chips it exchanges for.

There is no discount on purchasing resources.

After all, the casino is built on Dream Island, where the core is the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.

And the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce’s strongest business is resource trading and resource cashing.

Gamblers wanting to convert resources into chips can always head to the adjacent Trading Market, without selling at a discount within the casino.

The downside is that Alien Race gamblers need to frequently travel between the casino and the Gold Coin Trading Market to convert resources into chips.

This hassle might cool off the impulsive urge of Alien Race members.

Many fleeting betting thoughts might dissipate on the way back and forth.

Therefore, the core mission of this pawnshop is: ultimate convenience, zero-cost conversion.
