Chapter 232: Chapter 232: 100,000, Big (First Update)
Gambling, gambling, nine out of ten times you lose!
This saying holds true, otherwise who the hell would be bored enough to open a casino and give away money?
So when the lobby manager heard "five million," a number immediately popped into his head—five hundred thousand!
Which means, if Lin Xi lost everything, he could get a commission of five hundred thousand, equivalent to several years of his income.
"Exchange one million first." After Lin Xi swiped his card, the teller placed the chips on a special tray. Just as Xu Fei was about to take them, the lobby manager jumped in first, obsequiously saying,
"I’ll do it, I’ll do it, I’ll do it."
Xu Fei was a bit speechless, giving him a disdainful look and said, "Aren’t you supposed to be working upstairs?"
The lobby manager quickly shook his head, "Serving the VIP guests is the most important thing, there are naturally people responsible upstairs."
"What would the boss like to play? I’ll take you there." He warmly said to Lin Xi.
"Let’s take a look first." Lin Xi walked towards the gambling area, the group of eleven looked quite spectacular, attracting a lot of attention, especially since there was a designated tray-carrier, prompting speculation about which family’s offspring they were.
But nobody recognized them, although some partially recognized Shi Bao and Xu Hong among them, and couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts, wondering how these two got together.
Xu Hong was not much, in their eyes he was at most a street thug, but Shi Bao was different, even some prominent families had to take him seriously.
"Could it be Su Xiong’s children?"
"No, Su Xiong only has a daughter."
"To have Shi Bao accompanying them, their status should be at least equal to Su Xiong’s, yet they’re so young?"
"They should be a core member of some family, but in Chuzhou City, there are only a few families that Su Xiong would go out of his way for, yet none fits."
"Could they be from the capital?"
"Looks like Su Xiong has latched onto someone important, gotta tell the family when I get back..."
"..."
At this time, Lin Xi also walked over to a crowded gambling table, several people instinctively made way, and others curiously looked at Lin Xi.
"This one will do." Lin Xi stepped forward and sat down, saying.
The lobby manager saw this and was instantly thrilled—this table was for playing dice, a game that seemingly relied entirely on luck without much skill involved.
But he, who knew the truth, thought otherwise. For instance, he recognized the dealer at this table, whose dice skills ranked among the top three in the entire casino, able to manipulate the dice outcome with almost 70% accuracy.
In the next moment, the dealer shook the dice cup more than a dozen times before stopping, very ordinary without showing any special techniques.
When it was time to place bets, there was a brief silence.
The dealer noticed everyone was staring at Lin Xi, seemingly waiting to see what he would bet, because when the dealer shook the dice, Lin Xi showed extreme professionalism in listening, much like a master in movies, and seemed to discern something.
"One hundred thousand, on big." Lin Xi decisively said.
The lobby manager also noticed this and wondered if Lin Xi was an expert. But he still quickly placed the chips on the table.
Seeing this, others couldn’t understand if Lin Xi really knew what he was doing or was just pretending, but betting so much must mean confidence, so several people followed Lin Xi and bet on big, though cautiously.
However, some refrained from betting, wanting to see what would happen, while others bet on small or different numbers, trusting their own judgment.
As the dealer called out for final bets and then revealed the dice, he announced, "3, 5, 6, fourteen points, big!"
PS: Thanks to "This Wound Is Not That Sorrow" for the 100-point reward, everyone keep up the votes!
