"That." Longdan clenched his fist and coughed lightly. "Actually, there's no need for that. I feel much better now. If I take medicine for a few more days, my pneumonia will be cured. There's no need to see a doctor."

"It is necessary, because it can make you get better faster. Stop talking nonsense and follow me." Moonlight didn't even give him a chance to refuse, and turned around and left.

Tianyang spread his hands towards Longdan, while Xiao Xitong sucked her fingers, looked at Longdan with her big round eyes, and then giggled.

Longdan chased after him and tried to persuade Yueguang: "Have you forgotten that I am an ascender? Although I am only a rank 2, I am still an ascender after all. My body material is much stronger than that of ordinary people. This little illness will not bother me. Why should we waste time?"

But Moonlight didn't listen at all, Longdan could only follow helplessly. The three of them drove the magnetic car on the Golden Castle Road. After passing two blocks, Moonlight parked the car outside a casino with a bright red main color. On the gate of the casino, there was a symbol of the sun.

This is the Red Sun Casino.

The casino entrance was bustling with people coming and going. The receptionist in a red tight dress smiled brightly and greeted every guest in and out warmly.

Moonlight got out of the car and said, "The doctor's name is Li Yufeng. He's a good doctor, but a terrible gambler. He won't go home until he loses everything. It's still early now. If he comes to the casino tonight, we should be able to find him."

So the receptionist at the door saw a strange combination. In front was a beautiful woman with short hair, blue eyes and white skin. Behind her was a man with a sad face, in his thirties, but with a good appearance. At the end was a young man with silver hair, holding a baby and looking curious.

The two receptionists had seen countless people, and every time they saw a guest, they could roughly tell their relationship. But it was this combination, and no matter how hard they racked their brains, they still had no idea what the relationship between these three people was.

After entering the casino, there is a magnificent hall. Opposite the door is a golden bull sculpture. Pillars that require several people to hug support the dome. The dome is inlaid with multi-faceted glass, which reflects the lights in the hall and highlights the magnificence of the casino.

There is a row of work windows in front of the hall where guests line up. People can exchange chips through these work windows or exchange chips for cash.

"Wait here for a moment."

Moonlight walked towards one of the exchange windows where there were few customers, and soon she came back.

She was carrying a small silver suitcase full of chips. She gestured to Tianyang and the other man and walked towards the entrance at the back of the hall.

After a series of inspections, they finally entered the casino. It was also a hall, but it was larger than the one outside and there was basically no end in sight.

The casino hall was crowded with gamblers wandering between different gambling items. Some observed calmly, some placed bets rashly, some won money, and some lost money.

It was Tianyang’s first time to come to such a place, and for a moment, he was mesmerized by the sight.

There are so many gambling items in the hall, and they are so varied that it is hard to see. There are dealers, betting against machines, and even dog fighting and cock fighting.

Longdan saw Tianyang staring at him intently, and smiled, as if he was coming over.

The man said, "These are all relatively low-end projects, like the most high-end casino in Golden Castle, the King's Casino. They even hold a team competition every year, with 18 teams signing up to participate. From the preliminary round, to the semi-finals, quarter-finals, semi-finals to the final, there are handicaps for gamblers to place bets."

"That kind of gambling match is really exciting. You never know who will win until the end. Well, if we calculate the time, the competition should be held in the next day or two. If we stay for a few more days, we can watch one or two games before leaving."

Longdan seemed to have accepted his fate and no longer stopped Yueguang from finding a doctor for him. He picked up two drinks from the tray of a waiter passing by and handed one of them to Tianyang.

Little Xitong was very interested in this bubbling drink. She stretched out her little hand to grab the cup, but was stopped by Tianyang. The little guy was unhappy. Fortunately, she didn't cry, but her expression looked aggrieved.

Tianyang gently scratched her face with his fingers, and the little girl had a new target. She used her two chubby little hands to catch Tianyang's fingers and never got tired of it.

After finishing the drink, they saw the moonlight beginning to penetrate deeper into the hall. Tianyang quickly put down the cup and followed Longdan.

Long Dan walked beside Xiaochang and said, "The doctor should be in the VIP room. Every casino has a varying number of VIP rooms. The VIP rooms only offer one type of gambling, and the stakes there are regulated."

"Unlike the lobby outside, guests can place bets at will regardless of the size of the bet. Moreover, there are certain asset requirements to enter the VIP room. If you don't bring enough money, you can't enter."

Tian Yang nodded: "It should be easy for doctors to make money, especially those with good medical skills."

Yueguang should know what games Li Yufeng often plays. She walked towards a VIP room with a clear goal. A tall dark-skinned man was standing outside the room. When he saw Yueguang, he stretched out his hand to stop her.

Moonlight showed him the suitcase, and the big man opened the door after seeing it.

Tian Yang was confused, but luckily Long Dan, who was standing next to him, explained to him, "Usually, only when exchanging a large number of chips will the casino prepare a suitcase for guests to carry."

"And these suitcases are all coded, and each casino has a different code, but the function is the same, which is to indicate the number and amount of chips in the box."

"In this way, casino staff can know what level of guest the other party is and which corresponding venues they can enter just by looking at the code. This not only saves time in checking the guest's qualifications, but also shows respect for the guests."

Tian Yang said with a click of his tongue: "That's quite thoughtful."

Long Dan laughed: "It's a casino. If they want you to lose all your fortune in one night, this little service is nothing."

Following the moonlight, we walked into the VIP room. As soon as the door closed, it was quiet. The VIP room was very spacious, with several areas separated, including a rest area for guests, a small bar, and a smoking room.

As for the gambling, it is held in a carpeted hall. Of course, it is not as spacious as outside and there are not many furniture. In the middle of the hall there is a gambling table that can accommodate more than a dozen people. It is surrounded by high-backed chairs inlaid with gold, which is quite luxurious.

At this time, a beautiful female dealer was distributing cards to the guests around her.

Longdan whistled: "They are playing poker."

"What is poker?" It was the first time Tianyang heard of this thing.

Long Dan smiled and said, "Poker, a gambling game, came from the Western Continent. To be more precise, it is a 'game' found in a certain world of reversal. It uses a combination of cards with different patterns and certain rules to develop many different ways of playing."

"Let me see. They should be playing 'Big or Small'."

"This game is very simple. At the beginning, the dealer will give each person two hole cards. You have to cover these two hole cards. Only you know them. Then, the dealer will give each person 5 community cards. The so-called community cards are cards that are facing up so that others can see your pattern and your points."

"The public cards are dealt in three rounds, three in the first round and one in each subsequent round. In each round, you can call, call, and raise until no one raises or only one person remains."

"Finally, you can choose any three of the two hole cards and five community cards to make a combination. Whoever has the bigger one wins."

Tian Yang roughly understood what he heard, and quickly figured out the key: "The key lies in your two hole cards. Before the showdown, gamblers will conduct a series of psychological warfare based on their public cards in order to make themselves the most advantageous party in the game."

"Well, this is another level of 'battle'."

Long Dan glanced at him and said, "Now I finally understand why amazing guys like you seem to be exceptionally better than others no matter what they do."

"Because your ability to understand things can only be described as talent."

At this time, Yue Guang walked towards one of the gamblers, pushed aside a guest next to him quite domineeringly, and then slapped his hand in front of that person: "Li Yufeng."

The doctor named Li Yufeng raised his head, saw the person in front of him clearly, and laughed: "It turns out to be you, Yueguang. Never mind when you came. It doesn't matter when. What's important is that you are here. Let's sit down and play a few games together."

Yue Guang pushed her chip box in front of him and pointed at Long Dan: "Li Yufeng, help me treat him, all the chips in this box are yours."

Li Yufeng whistled: "What a big deal, Moonlight, you must have made a lot of money recently."

He turned his head to look at Longdan, then shrugged his shoulders: "It's just ordinary pneumonia, nothing to see. Okay, okay, put your box away, don't disturb me playing cards."

Yue Guang frowned, turned his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Look carefully!"

Li Yufeng spread his hands helplessly: "Miss, don't you see where we are? Without any equipment, relying only on my eyes and experience, I can only see this much."

"If you want to be more specific, wait until I get back and talk to you."

Moonlight didn't have such good patience. She patted the chip box and said, "Go now. I'll give you another box like this one!"

Li Yufeng looked at her and said, "Yueguang, I'm not a doctor now. I've been busy for half a month and I finally got a break today. Can you let me have fun? It's okay. Don't insult me with your dirty money. As a gambler, a professional gambler, I enjoy the happiness of gambling more than the money."

Moonlight sneered: "You won't leave until you lose everything, right? Fine, I'll make you lose everything."

She looked at the dealer and said, "Give me one too."
