Chapter 71 Du Shuhao
The second coin was placed inside the lid.
"what about this?"
"It should be correct," she said, pointing downwards with tears in her eyes.
"And the last one?"
"It must be the opposite" upwards.
"All three coins have been tossed. Place your bets now. Place your bets and you're done," the dealer said elegantly.
Undoubtedly, Di Xing lost again, but Ai Xiao, who bet against him, made a fortune—a 7x payout!
At this moment, Di Xing seemed to have noticed something. "Lei Xi, I've discovered something."
Hearing this, Lei Xi became a little nervous. Had he discovered their actions? "W-what's wrong?"
"I've figured it out! The order of the lottery draw was completely opposite to what I guessed. So, does that mean I can win by betting the opposite way from now on?" Di Xing revealed a confident smile, his eyes gleaming with self-assurance.
Lei Xi awkwardly suggested that he could try it. She could roughly guess that Di Xing's causal weapon was definitely the opposite of what he bought. Even if he thought it was positive and bought the opposite, the result would still be positive. That was why she hadn't told Di Xing about their plan.
So she gave Ai Xiao the same hints as Di Xing's picks, and the lottery was drawn again. Unsurprisingly, Di Xing chose all the wrong numbers again, and Ai Xiao made another fortune.
At this moment, Di Xing was completely out of control, ignoring the coin toss and randomly choosing, only to make the wrong pick every time. The causality weapon was terrifyingly powerful.
He quickly ran out of money and asked Lei Xi for more. Lei Xi pretended not to give him any, saying, "Di Xing, stop gambling. You're getting carried away."
"I can definitely turn this around, I've done it in every duel... Maybe you're right."
"No, you can't give up yet!" Lei Xi shouted in her heart, hurriedly pretending to comfort the dejected Di Xing, "Don't be discouraged. How about this, let's try the five-coin gamble again. The odds are higher there. If we win, we can break even; if we lose, we'll leave."
"Great!" Di Xing's eyes lit up. Back in the day, he, Chen Daozai, could win 3700 million with 20 dollars. Today... "Wait, do we still have any chips? I feel like I've lost a lot."
"Um, and also, I only ever give you a very small amount," Lei Xi said guiltily.
So they moved on to the five-coin premium game. During this time, Ai Xiao went to the restroom and changed her disguise again. Although her goal was to cause a commotion and get to the manager, she was happy to win as much as possible now that she had such a useful tool as Di Xing. Ai Xiao didn't want to be discovered by the casino so soon.
Furthermore, she knew that the casino wouldn't actually prevent them from leaving, because the casino operates on a commission system, so no matter how much they gambled, the casino wouldn't lose; they were just curious about people who kept winning.
Of course, even if they do resort to violence, Ai Xiao isn't afraid. She can just call Didi to quickly defeat the White Bone King. Besides, she already transferred her main deck over last night, so she's not afraid of this little casino at all.
Afterwards, they used the same trick again in the high-level five-coin betting game, dominating the field. However, Di Xing, the one who was killed, started sobbing while holding Lei Xi. Lei Xi helplessly comforted him. Just then, a well-dressed young waiter approached the disguised Ai Xiao and politely said...
"Miss, our manager would like to invite you in."
Wearing a top hat, monorimmed glasses, and a fake mustache, leaning on a cane, Ai Xiao, looking like a short, old scholar, turned around impatiently and said to the waiter, "Are you kidding me? Can't you see I'm a man?"
The young waiter smiled and said, "But our waitress just saw you come out of the women's restroom, and about ten minutes before you came out, she saw a man wearing a cowboy hat go into the restroom and never come out again."
"Ha, it seems we've been watching for a while now." Ai Xiao decided to drop the pretense, removing her disguise, her chestnut hair fluttering in the wind. Smiling, she took Di Xing's hand. "Come on, let's go see the person in charge."
Di Xing was completely bewildered.
At this moment, Lei Xi hurriedly took his other hand, and Di Xing went upstairs with the help of the two beauties. Di Xing guessed Lei Xi and the others' plan, so he asked in a low voice, "How much money did you make?"
Ai Xiao replied softly, "A lot, enough for five years of my brother's salary."
Holy crap, I don't know how much Captain Ace's salary was, but the phrase "five years" is pretty scary.
Upon reaching the second floor, the waiter politely said, "Our manager is very particular about attire, so we would like to ask the three of you to change into suitable clothes before meeting him."
The three then went to the dressing room separately, where they found it filled with a dazzling array of formal wear. The male lead, imitating Chen Daozai, wore a black suit with a white shirt and a black collar.
Stepping outside, I was immediately struck by the sight of two girls. Ai Xiao was wearing a red, light V-neck halter-neck dress with bows at the back of her neck and waist, looking both elegant and adorable.
Lei Xi wore a pure white Greek-style dress, with a sheer shawl trailing on the ground, making her appear mysterious and elegant.
Seeing that Di Xing's eyes were wide open, Ai Xiao teased, "Don't fall for us, okay?"
Di Xing quickly coughed twice. "Let's go inside."
Led by a waiter, the three entered the room where the manager was located. The room was large and spacious, with a huge Texas Hold'em poker table in the center. The manager, dressed in a white suit, stood with his back to the door in front of a panoramic glass window, looking down at the chaotic casino filled with greed.
The waiter reported very respectfully, and the manager turned around, giving Di Xing and his companions an elegant bow. "Greetings, gentlemen. I am the manager of this casino. My name is Du Shuhao; you may call me Mr. Du."
Wow, good at gambling? Does that mean you have to boast about your name like that?
Du Shuhao smiled as he looked the three of them over, his gaze finally settling on Ai Xiao. "May I ask how the three of you are addressed?"
"Just call me Mr. Black," Di Xing said.
"My name is Miss Bai," she said tearfully.
"Call me Miss Hong," Ai Xiao said.
It's clear that none of the three intend to reveal their real names.
Du Shuhao didn't hesitate and looked at Ai Xiao, "Miss Hong, is that right? You're such a good gambler, why do you need to disguise yourself?"
"Hmph, isn't it because they're afraid of being targeted by you?"
"Miss Hong, you've misunderstood our casino. Our casino is perfectly legitimate and wouldn't do anything so despicable."
"Then why did you call us here?"
"I was wondering if any of you three have any plans to join our casino?"
"no"
Before Ai Xiao could answer, Di Xing interrupted and answered.
"I'll get straight to the point: I believe your casino is cheating."
"Oh? What makes you say that, sir? Although I know you've lost 12 consecutive rounds, and one more loss would break our casino's losing streak record, that's none of our business."
Di Xing scratched his face awkwardly, but there was actually someone who lost even more than him?
"That's why I said you guys cheated, otherwise how could I have lost so much?"
"Is it possible," Du Shuhao looked at Di Xing with amusement, "that you're just too incompetent?"
Di Xing didn't even try to smear me as a noob. "Mr. Du Shuhao, why don't you try it yourself?"
"Oh, are you challenging me?"
