Chapter 1086: Chapter 1093: Won Once, Then Stopped
In terms of both dress and demeanor, Lin Yanxia doesn’t look like the kind of person who gambles.
It’s even safe to say that she seems completely out of place in the casino atmosphere.
Yet, undeniably, she is indeed a gambler.
And she’s the obsessive kind, without a shred of skill to speak of.
Lin Xi and Zhu Ying are standing directly behind her.
Since they arrived, she’s placed bets four times, and each time, it’s been on the same number.
And the result is, she lost all four times.
It looks like she’s about to bet on the same number again for the fifth time.
Lin Yanxia is anxious, even though she doesn’t know how much those chips are worth, it’s certainly a lot.
Because it’s clear from the expressions of others and how they bet.
"What are we still watching for? Watching her lose money?" She said angrily and whispered to Lin Xi.
If Lin Xi hadn’t stopped her, she would have dragged that fool away long ago.
How could she let her lose four rounds straight!
The most crucial aspect is, judging from her understanding of Lin Yanxia, she would keep betting on that number until she wins once.
Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t give up.
Moreover, because she gambles entirely on whims without any strategy or skill, it’s one of the main reasons she never wins.
"What else then?" Lin Xi retorted.
Zhu Ying, "..."
Seeing she was about to get upset, he quickly explained, "Think about it, even if we drag her out, we can’t return right away!"
"And we’ve been on the ship the whole time."
"On the ship, can you keep an eye on her every moment?"
"Once you lose sight of her, she’ll just go gambling again!"
"Rather than that, it’s better to let her keep gambling, ideally losing everything!"
Zhu Ying, "...."
She suddenly felt regret, why did she ever call Lin Xi here?
Moreover, if Yanxia loses everything, then what’s the point of coming here?
The whole reason for being here is to stop her from losing money!
Now Lin Xi is saying something like this, she feels as if she could spit curses.
Lin Xi chuckled, "Losing everything is not a big deal, isn’t it fine as long as I’m here?"
"I can win it back for her, can’t I?"
Zhu Ying, "...."
With Lin Xi saying so, she fell into thought.
She knows how impressive Lin Xi is, there’s a chance he might actually pull it off, especially since he’s achieved things way beyond imagination before.
Gambling shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
"Are you sure?" She still felt a little uneasy.
Lin Xi assured, "Leave it to me!"
"If I don’t win, I’m not short on money; whatever she borrowed from the school, I’ll just settle it!"
Zhu Ying said, "That’s ten million!"
"Only ten million, just a small change!" He said truthfully.
After all, he was a man worth billions before.
Even though Bai Bing spent most of it, there were still several billion left.
So ten million, to him, really isn’t much at all.
Someone with sharp ears heard Lin Xi saying ten million is just small change.
Immediately, they cast a look of disdain.
In their view, dressed like that, you don’t even look like you’re worth two hundred!
And yet you have the face to say ten million is small change.
Is it that he’s out of touch with the times, or are today’s young people boasting like their lives depend on it?
As expected, just as Zhu Ying said, Bai Bing kept betting on that number and lost ten times in a row. On the eleventh time, she finally got it right and won the last round.
But overall, she still lost more than half.
After that, she switched to another number.
The new number also made her lose eight times in a row; she only won on the ninth try.
She kept doing this, something that, in others’ eyes, seemed bound to lose.
When it comes to analyzing gambling strategies or assessing opponents’ minds, or relying on sharp hearing like in movies, she doesn’t do any of that.
She’s fully relying on whims and preferences to place her bets.
Half an hour later, the chips on her table were down to less than one-thirtieth of what she started with.
At this point, she sat upright rather than slouching and seemed to ponder, then angrily pushed all her remaining chips in as a final bet.
Lin Xi held Zhu Ying’s hand, noticing that her palm was almost entirely sweaty.
One can feel how nervous she is at this moment.
"Don’t worry!" Lin Xi comforted.
Zhu Ying glanced at Lin Xi and felt slightly reassured.
At this juncture, she had no choice but to trust Lin Xi.
"She’ll definitely lose this round!"
Zhu Ying, "...."
"Look at the people’s expressions around!" Lin Xi added.
Then, she glanced around at the people, noticing some were a bit excited.
Why are they excited?
Does it have anything to do with them?
Even if it does, or they’re interested in Yanxia, shouldn’t they be nervous or concerned about something now?
A few seconds later, without much suspense, Lin Yanxia lost all her chips.
Meaning, if she wants to keep gambling, she’ll have to borrow money from the casino.
And in her current state, she doesn’t look good either.
She looks more and more upset, muttering, "I just don’t believe it, ten rounds of betting and losing every time!"
"I’m sure by the eleventh time, I’ll definitely win!"
Upon saying this, she looked at the dealer, asking, "Hey handsome, lend me some chips?"
Hearing her words, the dealer looked a bit troubled but seemingly reluctant to refuse her, so after pondering for about ten seconds, he decisively shook his head and kindly advised, "Miss, your luck isn’t great today, how about you rest for a few hours and then try again?"
"You’ve already lost a million!"
Hearing this, Zhu Ying felt like she was about to black out and faint.
This fool has already thrown away all the money!
How long has she been on the ship!
Is she burning through money?
Even if she is, it wouldn’t be this fast!
She assumed she might have lost a couple hundred thousand at most, thinking that was already significant.
Who knew she’d lose everything!
No wonder even the handsome dealer couldn’t stand it and advised her!
Of course, a lot has to do with her looks, try being not a divine-level beauty and see?
That dealer wouldn’t even bother advising!
"That wasteful woman!" She cursed angrily under her breath.
This time, she was ready to step forward and teach this fool a lesson.
But, once again, Lin Xi held her back.
"Why are you holding me back again?" She turned to Lin Xi, lowering her voice angrily.
"Let’s wait a bit longer!" Lin Xi ignored her anger, and continued, "Didn’t I say the people around are waiting for an opportunity?"
"Hmm?"
"The opportunity has arrived!"
"????"
