Chapter 1239: Something Fishy
"Damn it, lost again!"
"That kid won again, did he step in dog shit before coming?"
"I don’t believe he can win next time!"
The people around were discussing fervently, and their expressions were quite marvelous. LuuYong’s expression was also intriguing as he watched the croupier return a thousand casino chips; his mouth was nearly stretched to his ears.
Gathering that small pile of chips in front of him, LuuYong laughed at Mrs. Liu beside him: "A true man doesn’t win the first five rounds; the initial wins are paper, but the later wins are money!"
"Humph, petty triumph! I think you’ve won enough. Go home and sleep on your money to avoid being an eyesore to me." Mrs. Liu waved dismissively at him, looking at LuuYong as if he were a bothersome fly.
The card skill arena never fears people winning; it only fears them not coming!
Once addicted, even a mountain of gold can be squandered empty!
In Mrs. Liu’s eyes, LuuYong was already addicted, so he would definitely come back!
"Hey, the momentum is hot; why leave?" LuuYong laughed triumphantly, his chips tallying up to twenty million!
Lin Tian and Wu Yong stood by the gambling table, watching this scene. Lin Tian’s expression was fairly normal; after all, everything was under his control, seeing through it all, what’s the point?
As for Wu Yong, the kid who already had quite a gambling addiction, it was stronger now as he rubbed his hands and whispered in Lin Tian’s ear: "Tian, how did you figure it out? Teach me."
Lin Tian chuckled: "Have you watched Journey to the West?"
"Nonsense!"
"Then you surely know the Fire-Eyed Golden Gaze. Jump into the furnace and train there for eighty-one days, and you’ll have it," Lin Tian said with a serious face.
Wu Yong was initially interested but rolled his eyes after hearing this. This is trying to cremate me!
"Actually..." Lin Tian turned his head and whispered, "I have X-ray vision."
"..." Wu Yong rolled his eyes again, speechless: "You sure are badass!"
Lin Tian shrugged, indifferent if you don’t want to believe me.
Truthfully, besides X-ray vision, Lin Tian was also cheating!
He had played with dice before, through Spiritual Qi he could control the numbers, and with more skill he could even smash the dice. However, the dice box and dice at this card skill arena were very different from before, with many uncontrollable factors.
At the moment the dice box landed and the croupier’s hand left, Lin Tian flicked a tiny mung bean filled with Spiritual Qi into the dice box, making the dice inside flip over once or twice.
Initially, the force was somewhat off, but after doing this many times, he grasped some patterns. And those two times he rolled three of a kind were precisely his handiwork!
The reason for letting LuuYong sit at the table was because Lin Tian needed to perform these small actions; he had to avoid being at the gambling table to not attract others’ attention, letting everyone focus on LuuYong. But as a newbie, how could this kid have flaws? Even if he did, it would be when glancing at Lin Tian’s gestures. However, Lin Tian was within his line of sight; he just needed to give a glance and then immediately avert his gaze.
This way, they could silently make a fortune, and once they’ve earned enough, they could sneak away quietly!
As for Wu Yong, he was somewhat impatient, coupled with his time at Black Gold, he had developed a bit of a rogue demeanor; if he sat up there gambling, he might expose a flaw or get into a fight with someone.
LuuYong, on the other hand, was different; he had been a talent scout for so many years, his temperament had been smoothed out, nothing would stir him up.
Like Mrs. Liu constantly provoking him, if it were Wu Yong, he might have started brawling with him already.
They were here to make money, not trouble! Naturally, they didn’t want to attract attention.
...
"You lost." Zhang Ya’Er lit another cigarette, speaking amidst the smoke.
"Haha, no worries. At worst, I’ll take a loss and spend the night with you." DS laughed heartily. Regardless of win or lose, he wouldn’t be at a loss.
Shan didn’t appear as relaxed as them, he sipped his drink gloomily and asked: "Do you think this is luck?"
If it was, the luck sure was booming!
"Maybe," Zhang Ya’Er said casually.
DS shook his head: "I don’t think so. What’s this kid’s background?"
He turned his gaze to Shan, knowing he must have figured it out.
"This guy... used to be our Crown Prince’s subordinate, just a lustful talent scout, disappeared inexplicably recently, went to the hospital half a month ago, and only got out today. Never been to a card skill arena before; you can see his clumsy demeanor," Shan said.
After listening lazily, Zhang Ya’Er’s gaze became sharp. "So he’s turned traitor. Maybe the Crown Prince’s downfall is related to him."
"Definitely related! When the Crown Prince died, he disappeared; now suddenly showing up with Lin Tian, how can there be so many coincidences?" Shan scoffed.
The Crown Prince they were talking about was naturally Wang Sicong. They were well aware of the enmity between the Wang Family and Lin Tian; it was intense enough to be rendered irreconcilable. If LuuYong were not a traitor, he couldn’t have been seen with Lin Tian, especially when behaving so close before.
"Heh, I couldn’t care less if he’s a traitor or not. I’m only interested in how he’s winning," DS said, holding his glass and swirling it: "The dice are specially made; no one can cheat. How did that kid do it?"
"Could it be that Lin Tian? Wasn’t he the backbone of the Xianglong Tea House?" Zhang Ya’Er asked.
Shan stroked his chin thoughtfully before saying: "Unlikely, Lin Tian hasn’t touched the table; he’s far from the croupiers and that kid. It’s not scientific for him to cheat."
"Why don’t we just invite them for a few rounds? I refuse to believe, they can walk out with all that money!" DS said gruffly and stood up.
"Sit down!" Zhang Ya’Er said, watching the table intently: "Know thyself and thy enemy, win a hundred battles, let’s observe a few more rounds!"
In the following rounds, LuuYong had somewhat reined in, his bets were not as large as before, but each stake was still one million. Over several rounds, he generally won, lost few, and hit another three of a kind, his winnings soared! The chips nearly reached forty million!
The gamblers around, seeing his luck, also placed bets following him. Although they each only wagered around a hundred thousand, given their numbers, every time there was a loss of two million, who could withstand it?
But after observing for so long, there wasn’t a trace to be found, making it all the more intriguing!
"Damn it, can’t wait any longer! Let’s go meet those punks!" DS flicked his golden hair again and stood up. Zhang Ya’Er didn’t stop him this time, just extinguished his cigarette and followed him with a sullen face along with Little Shan.
