Oddities' Strange Argument

Seeing Chen Nan's skills and hearing his words, Jiang Lili had nothing left to retort. However, she still felt that the way Chen Nan made money wasn't entirely clean. Thinking of this, she even glanced at Feng Wu, her meaning obvious.

But fortunately, gambling, for men, was something women could somewhat tolerate.

This was unlike an affair; if caught, it was basically unforgivable. Moreover, with Chen Nan's newfound abilities, he was clearly different from a gambler and likely wouldn't share their tragic fate.

With the woman's issue resolved, the rear was stable. For a man, this was of utmost importance.

At this moment, Chen Nan casually said, "Feng Wu, I advise you to quit that line of work. The forces threatening you are gone. Isn't it better to find a legitimate way to make a living?"

Chen Nan was essentially sticking his nose where it didn't belong, meddling in other people's business.

As expected, Feng Wu sneered, "You're truly naive. Once a woman opens that door, how can it be so easily closed? All we learned in the orphanage was how to please men in bed; we have no other means of survival.

Besides, this kind of thing... it's like drug addiction... you wouldn't understand, it's not that easy."

The mention of drug addiction struck a nerve with Jiang Lili, who snorted, "A slut is a slut, and then she makes excuses? Even drug addicts can get clean. You just want quick money and can't control yourself, so you do this vile work!"

Feng Wu immediately straightened up and said, "This isn't vile work; it's a straightforward service industry. Without women like us, how would men who can't marry solve their physiological needs?

This is human nature. If it's not properly channeled, it leads to psychological distortion. Some become perverts, some become dark, causing extreme social instability.

We are making a huge contribution to national and social stability.

I'm not boasting, but with my gentle demeanor, how many men's inner turmoil have I soothed? Some cry in my arms, some howl, some act like spoiled children...

We are the embodiment of supreme goodness, like water, washing away the suffering and darkness of those men. They throw their money at us, becoming radiant and energetic, leaving only the filth for us to bear moral condemnation and public scorn.

But—

In this world, who the hell is clean? Why all the pretense?

You—"

She pointed at Jiang Lili, saying emotionally, "You have property and land, and you haven't had a life as difficult as mine, so you can shamelessly look down on me and curse me. But, ask yourself, without a man, have you always remained pure under pressure?

Has no man touched you? Can you swear to that?

Honestly, what we sell openly is cleaner than what you do behind closed doors, right?

What kind of world is this? Rich men have one woman at home and then embrace mistresses, number two, three, four, five, six outside, yet society and the law don't condemn or punish them?

We are the ones solving social problems, paying a physical and mental price, yet we are constantly demeaned and cursed by hypocrites like you, who are saints on the surface but thieves and whores in secret. What gives you the right? What face do you have to judge me?"

After saying all this, Feng Wu's face was as if splashed with blood, her heaving chest rising and falling, a clear display of the tempestuous emotions within her. It was said that natural phenomena often corresponded to the human body.

Her words completely stunned Chen Nan and Jiang Lili, leaving them somewhat speechless.

What was even more infuriating was the phrase "thieves and whores."

Chen Nan thought that he had indeed stolen; Jiang Lili thought that she had also had a one-night stand online. Could it be such a direct correlation?

Jiang Lili wanted to fight back, at least to reclaim her lost dignity, but Feng Wu had hit her deepest vulnerability. It was like a liar facing the person they lied to; psychologically, they had already lost a significant part and couldn't speak.

Chen Nan, however, could speak freely, showing that men were somewhat more shameless than women. He smiled weakly and said, "You don't need to get so worked up. Regardless of whether what you say makes sense, a job like yours can't last forever, can it?

What will you do when your beauty fades?

Since you've already contributed so much to society and the country, and society and the country offer you no way out, you have to think about your own future, right?"

These words struck Feng Wu's soft spot. She slumped onto the sofa and said tearfully, "What future do I have? I'll just drain myself dry and then jump into the river. What hope or future can someone like me have?

What I said so eloquently was just a defensive retort. In reality, who would choose this path if not forced by circumstances?

What I endure is something unimaginable to those of you who live in the sunlight!"

Chen Nan was about to say, "Why don't you find an honest man to marry?" But that would be too despicable and malicious. Which honest man, upon hearing this, wouldn't curse his ancestors' graves? Even though those graves were on Earth, if he could transmigrate, couldn't a curse?

For the safety of his ancestors' graves, he looked at Jiang Lili instead.

At this moment, Jiang Lili had lost her imposing aura. It was said that women were made of water, so they were very soft-hearted.

Of course, they could also turn into ice in winter.

But at this moment, Jiang Lili was in a flowing state, unable to solidify into ice. She said to Feng Wu, "Chen Nan is right. You have to make plans for your future."

Feng Wu said tearfully, "I am making plans! If this kid can win some money gambling, I can get some too. And while I'm still young, I can save up more money for my old age. Otherwise, what else can I do?"

Jiang Lili said, "How about this? I have a formal job, and I'll be busy with collecting rent and other things. You can fully manage my rental properties and rent collection. We'll split the rent, and that can ensure you have food and shelter, okay?"

Feng Wu looked at Jiang Lili, wiped away her tears, a hint of shame coloring her cheeks. She smiled and said, "If you can accept me, it would truly be the honor of my life. I'm just afraid that such a good thing might be a dream that disappears upon waking?"

Chen Nan thought to himself, Alright, my plan to go out gambling shouldn't have any problems. He smiled and said, "It's so late. Why don't we sleep, and we'll see tomorrow if it was a dream."

Jiang Lili looked at the time, past two in the morning, and said in surprise, "It really is that late. Let's get some rest quickly; I have to go to work tomorrow."

And so, the three of them went to sleep. Fortunately, Jiang Lili had a three-bedroom apartment, and Chen Nan escaped to a small bedroom, avoiding being cuddled like a doll between the two women.

The next day, the three met in the living room. Although there was some initial awkwardness, it soon became comfortable.

Feng Wu changed into Jiang Lili's clothes and started learning how to cook. After breakfast, Jiang Lili went to work.

That evening, after a hearty meal, the three, with Jiang Lili as the driver and Feng Wu as the secretary, headed straight for the casino after ten o'clock.

During the day, Chen Nan had spent almost the entire day at home practicing listening to dice. He estimated that winning money at the casino shouldn't be a problem.

Upon entering the casino, Chen Nan bought a hundred yuan in chips and went to the big-or-small betting table.

Before gambling, Chen Nan focused on the dice being shaken by the dealer, using his auditory discrimination to determine the numbers. Soon, he had a number in mind: this time it was 4, 5, and 6, totaling fifteen points, which was big!

He lifted the dice cup and, as expected, it was exactly as he had predicted.

So, when the dealer shook the dice again and the gamblers began to bet on big or small, Chen Nan made his move.

Naturally, Feng Wu placed the chips. After all, she was playing the role of his secretary. At this gambling table, with two beautiful assistants by his side, Chen Nan was truly the only one who looked this distinguished.

The chips here were divided into three types, representing ten, fifty, and one hundred yuan respectively. Chen Nan bought ten ten-yuan chips and this time, only placed one bet, still on big.

"Bets are closed!" the dealer shouted. The cup was opened amidst the bloodthirsty, greedy gazes of the gamblers. "3, 6, 6 – Fifteen points, big!"

Curses and celebrations mingled, creating a human tragedy and comedy. But no matter what, life had to go on, and these gamblers were no different; they began to prepare for the next round of betting.

Chen Nan listened intently, distinguishing the sounds of the dice hitting the cup amidst the din, analyzing the frequency, pitch, timbre, and other details of their vibrations, discerning which sounds were from collisions and which were from friction...

Within these complex sound variations, they transformed into various parameters. Under the operation of Chen Nan's nervous system, they formed an XYZ three-axis coordinate system. These parameters formed complex sine wave patterns, distributed within the coordinate system.

These changes, combined with Chen Nan's imagination, quickly allowed him to establish the rolling situation of the dice within the cup.

As the gambling continued, Chen Nan discovered that his ability had improved to a terrifying degree. He could not only hear the final points of the dice but also the situation of each moment as they rolled inside the cup.

Combined with Chen Nan's visual analysis – the dealer's shaking speed, force, angle, and so on – he found that he could determine even more.

Previously, Chen Nan had to wait for the dice to settle before he could determine the points. Now, he could actually determine the points as the dealer tapped the dice cup down.

The reason he found this so terrifying was that he knew that, even for a simple computer, determining the points of the dice in this manner would involve extremely complex and extensive calculations.
