Mysterious Revival

At this moment, Yang Jian was wandering alone in Daxing Entertainment City, opting not to go along with others.

Because he knew, the moment he stepped in here, he would inevitably attract many people, so the best way was to go solo.

The bustling hall was crowded with people.

Yang Jian himself didn’t know where he had wandered to, just that everywhere was filled with various machines and gambling games, but he wasn’t interested in these things. He was interested in whether he could find any ghostly traces, after all, that was what he was good at.

He could feel that indeed something paranormal existed within this entertainment city, but it was deeply hidden.

He passed by a gambling table.

Noticing something, Yang Jian leaned over to take a closer look.

A lot of people were seated near the table, one by one dropping their point chips and placing their bets.

Yang Jian looked towards the dealer and found that these people were playing a very traditional dice game, but the dice cup was special; his ghost eyes couldn’t see through it.

“It’s a container made of Gold; supernatural powers can’t peer through it. Boss He seems to have some tricks up his sleeve, having upgraded here when supernatural powers appeared to prevent paranormal cheating.”

“Such defensive measures are quite limited, but enough to deal with ordinary ghost handlers. Truly skilled ghost handlers probably wouldn’t be stupid enough to use supernatural powers to make money in a casino, given there are cameras everywhere. If an issue arises, you’d probably be invited to the VIP room immediately.”

Yang Jian’s mind immediately recalled some memory and knowledge about the entertainment city.

He roughly understood some insider information.

The reason the entertainment city is always profitable is due to cheating, merely different methods of cheating vary across different establishments. Some cheat through probability, some through technique, some through technology, and some with bizarre rules… The primary goal is consistently reducing the player’s winning odds.

Some players might luck out and win some points from Daxing Entertainment City.

But most will lose.

After observing for a while, Yang Jian left, having roughly figured out the cheating method here.

For ordinary players, the entertainment city can win purely on probability.

But if you play big, probability becomes unreliable. Because no matter how you calculate, players still have a chance of winning, and the dealer wouldn’t allow such things to happen. Therefore, for major players, the dealer would manipulate using various strategies.

So.

There’s no such thing as a fair gambling game; it’s merely competing on both sides’ cheating methods.

Yang Jian had no interest in money, so he didn’t even think about cheating.

While he was aimlessly wandering, on the other side.

Zhang Wei furrowed his brows as he approached the entertainment city’s electronic gaming area.

“Trying to win one hundred points against the opponent’s eight hundred million points is slightly challenging for me, Ah Wei, so I must multiply my point holdings by hundreds of times in one go. Achieving this through normal means is impossible; I must bet small to win big, hitting a jackpot with these hundred-point chips.”

He stared at these entertainment machines in front of him.

Playing once costs one hundred points, rewards ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands, but there’s a grand jackpot of fifty thousand points, although the chances are tiny, nearly impossible.

After observing for a while, Zhang Wei gave a cold laugh and marched towards a machine, sitting down.

Without any hesitation, he tossed his hundred-point chips into the machine.

One chance.

After pressing, the symbols on the entertainment machine spun.

Zhang Wei was very confident, his eyes seemingly seeing through the future, as if a jackpot was beckoning him.

Soon enough.

Accompanied by the music from the entertainment machine, the result emerged. This chapter was made possible by the MV_LEMPYR community.

“What? I, Ah Wei, bet my lifetime luck and only won a mere two thousand points?” Zhang Wei stared at the screen’s display, eyes wide, standing up immediately.

He couldn’t accept this outcome.

But the two thousand-point chips had already been dispensed from the machine.

“Damn, I can’t accept this, again.” Zhang Wei was furious, and without another word, he shoved the chips back in.

With the press of a button, the music began again, and soon, the result appeared.

At this moment, Zhang Wei’s lips started to tremble.

Six thousand, this time spent two thousand points just to win six thousand. Oh heavens, since when did I become so unlucky? At this rate, I don’t know when I’ll win eight hundred million points.

“I don’t believe it, again.” Zhang Wei’s hot temper flared up, refusing to give up on the machine.

Ten thousand?

Oh heavens, I spent a full six thousand points just to get ten thousand, is fate out to destroy mighty Zhang Wei?

“All in, go all in.” Zhang Wei was extremely angry, furiously shoving the ten thousand-point chips back in.

Soon, the result came up.

Zhang Wei almost spat blood: “Only won twelve thousand points? This loss is unbearable.”

He refused to give up, continuing to exert himself.

His luck seemed to have run dry, each time only managing to earn a mere one or two thousand points, the unluckiest even netting just one hundred points.

Nearby gamers passing by saw Zhang Wei’s frantic look and found it somewhat amusing.

“How much has he lost, feels like his brain’s gone haywire.” A guest on a nearby machine said with a laugh to their friend.

“Looks like he’s lost at least tens of thousands. They play small here, can’t lose much.” The friend replied.

“I think it’s more than that, his chips are already at thirty thousand. I reckon he’s definitely one of those big players from over there who lost everything and came here to try for a jackpot and make a comeback.”

“Makes sense. Looks like he’s lost at least several tens of millions.”

While the two were discussing, Zhang Wei angrily kicked the machine and left with his chips: “Pah, played so many rounds and only won a hundred thousand points. When has Ah Wei ever suffered such humiliation? I’m done here, I’ll try another place.”

After saying that, he grumbled in annoyance and slipped away.

No one else knew that Zhang Wei only started with a hundred points, and in less than half an hour on one machine, he had increased his points a hundredfold.

“All in.”

Running to a table, Zhang Wei slammed his chips onto the table without even looking.

The people next to him immediately laughed, shaking their heads, thinking he was a fool who didn’t even know how to play.

But soon, Zhang Wei’s hundred thousand points turned into two hundred thousand. He went all in again, turning two hundred thousand into four hundred thousand, and then four hundred thousand into eight hundred thousand, and continued….

“Playing so many rounds and can’t even play cards, what’s the point, I’m out.”

In the end, when Zhang Wei grumbled and left with three hundred and twenty thousand points, the surrounding people suddenly changed their expressions.

“Little brother, don’t go, keep playing.” A fellow gambler nearby laughed and urged.

“Are you trying to teach Ah Wei how to do things?” Zhang Wei glanced at them, then left without looking back.

He felt that not being able to play cards was boring, and it was too slow. Although he had some points, it was still hard to win eight hundred million.

Zhang Wei continued wandering around the Entertainment City, and his points slowly increased. But at the same time, quite a few gamblers followed him. Some noticed Zhang Wei had very good luck and wanted to get rich by following him, some were curious and wanted to tag along, and some thought something was off and wanted to investigate.

There were also some hoodlums trying to mooch off a piece of the action.

So, unwittingly, wherever Zhang Wei went, he was followed by a large group like he was the center of attention.

Anyone unaware might think some big shot had arrived.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A dealer responsible for dealing cards was sweating on his forehead. Around this table was also a large crowd, and opposite him was a kid about ten years old.

The scary thing was this kid had already won over twenty hands in a row.

His points had gone from a thousand to several tens of millions. If it weren’t for the maximum limit on this table, he might have already won several billions.

“This is such a boring game, there’s no challenge at all. Such a trivial matter needs Daddy Xiong’s involvement? It seems Xiao Yang is really getting worse.” Xiong Wenwen propped his head up, speaking in a bored tone.

He similarly had no interest in money, just thought it was amusing.

Didn’t expect the game to be so uninteresting.

“Play for another half an hour and we can complete the task early,” Jiang Yan said with a smile, who also followed Xiong Wenwen to rake in cash.

Their private money was skyrocketing at an eye-catching speed.

“What? Still need to play for half an hour? No way, too long. I don’t want to play that long. I’ll only play for another ten minutes.” Xiong Wenwen shook his head.

“No, you can’t complete the task in ten minutes,” Jiang Yan replied.

Xiong Wenwen said, “Who told them not to allow big bets, that’s not my problem. Wait, something seems to be happening…”

Suddenly.

He turned his head in a direction.

At that moment, a man wearing a dealer’s outfit, with a deathly pale face and a dry smile, was striding over: “Bored of playing small? I’ve authorized lifting the limits on this table, would you like to play big?”

“A little no-name thing trying to scare me? Do they really think Daddy Xiong is scared easily? Isn’t it just going all in? I can do that too.”

Xiong Wenwen stood on the chair, pushing all his chips out in front of him, scattering them across the table.

“You idiot, can’t you tell there’s a master at play here?”

Jiang Yan panicked and tried to pull Xiong Wenwen to stop him, but couldn’t hold him back.

“What master? Is Xiao Yang tall enough? Still has to call me Daddy Xiong.”

Xiong Wenwen curled his lip, full of disdain: “Besides, whatever I play, I win, what’s to fear.”

“Bets placed, deal the cards.” The pale-faced man smiled like a mummy.

He replaced the previous dealer, dealing cards to Xiong Wenwen.

But the moment his cold palm touched the cards, Xiong Wenwen immediately cursed, “Damn, you’re cheating.”

The anticipated outcome had changed.

This round he was supposed to win, but due to supernatural interference, he ended up losing.

“The cards aren’t dealt yet, how can you say I’m cheating? Kids shouldn’t talk nonsense. Our Entertainment City prides itself on credibility.” The pale-faced man’s head slightly lowered, his expression instantly darkened.

The surrounding lights flickered, as if interfered with by something.

Realizing what was happening, Jiang Yan hurriedly reached for the cup next to the table.

But being too anxious, she accidentally knocked the cup over.

The water from the cup spilled onto the tabletop, forming a puddle.

Under the puddle, in the depths of the shadow, an Evil Hound bared its teeth, glaring fiercely at the man, seemingly ready to leap out of the water.

The pale-faced man’s eyes narrowed at once, subconsciously stepping back a few paces.
