Uncle Lin was a little tipsy, squinting for a long time, unable to remember what he had come for.

Lin Xiaoxi really couldn't stand it anymore and spoke for Old Lin, "It's like this, didn't my dad hear that you were going on a trip? So he wanted you to take me along. I just graduated from senior high school, and my family wanted me to go out and see the world. With you around, they'll feel more at ease."

"That's right!"

The tipsy Uncle Lin slapped the table, full of vigor.

Li Yao felt something was off.

Why entrust this to me? Couldn't Uncle and Aunt Lin take Lin Xiaoxi themselves? Did something happen to the Lin family? Li Yao couldn't help but overthink. Now, his Goldfinger Daddy was the Lin family's eldest daughter; how could he not care? So he wanted to ask what was going on, but before he could even open his mouth, his ever-helpful mother "swoosh" pressed Li Yao's face into the rice bowl, "It's settled! My Da Yao agreed!"

Li Yao: "???"

Do I even have any say in this family?!

He struggled to lift his head from the rice bowl, glaring at his mother, "Uncle Lin, I'm going to Macau, leaving tomorrow. That requires a Hong Kong and Macau Travel Permit, which isn't easy to get in a short time."

Uncle Lin waved his hand, "Xiaoxi's passport and Hong Kong and Macau Travel Permit were processed months ago, just waiting to be used!"

Li Yao: "..."

Uncle Lin scratched his flushed face, a little dazed, "Da Yao, when did you book the flight? I'll buy a ticket for the same flight. Uncle Lin has money! Doesn't lack money!"

He "slapped" the table, shouting that he wasn't short of money.

He was really drunk.

Seeing this, Dad stopped offering more wine. Now that the goal was achieved, he quickly asked Mom to bring some hot, thick soup to sober him up.

After Uncle Lin left the Li family, full and satisfied, Mom's smiling face immediately changed, poking Li Yao's forehead in disappointment, "Useless thing, Mom has paved the way for you to this extent, and you're still pushing it away! What's your family background? You can't even appreciate such a good girl? Old Li, do we own a mine or something?"

Old Li lay on the sofa, stroking his slightly full belly, squinting his eyes, "What mine? Where did a mine come from? How come I don't know?"

"Look at you!"

Mom scolded before going to clean up the dishes...

The next day, Uncle Lin and Lin Xiaoxi arrived with their suitcases. Uncle Lin said, "The tickets are booked, just need to print the boarding passes at the airport. Da Yao, this is Xiaoxi's spending money, please take care of her. Things are a bit hectic at home right now, so I have to trouble you."

Li Yao nodded.

This could be considered a kind of overseas study tour.

Normally, parents would be the best choice to instill values and broaden horizons.

But now, the Lin family was going through a difficult time, so they had to rely on him.

He nodded, "Don't worry, Uncle Lin, I will take good care of Xiaoxi."

Lin Xiaoxi: ╮( ̄⊿ ̄")╭

Heh, who knows who will be taking care of whom!

After giving instructions, Old Li stood up and patted his butt, "Old Lin, go ahead and get busy, I'll see the kids off."

Uncle Lin smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Don't mention it!"

Old Li waved his hand and took Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi out. After saying goodbye to Uncle Lin downstairs, Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi got into Old Li's Volkswagen Lavida, heading straight for the airport.

After some bumpy travel, they finally arrived in Macau, settling in at the booked hotel.

Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi booked two adjacent rooms. Li Yao was tidying up in his room, planning to visit the casino later. He was planning to go to the Grand Lisboa Casino, which had a big reputation, good credibility, and high turnover, so there wouldn't be any vulgar scenes like in novels. There would even be someone to protect you and transfer the money you won into your bank account.

That's what the novel said anyway.

As for whether it's true...

Let's test it in practice.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, "Li Yao, open the door."

Li Yao got up and opened the door, pulling a long face, "Why don't you call me 'brother'?"

Lin Xiaoxi was wearing trendy clothes, chewing gum, dressed like an underground rapper. When did this girl change her clothes? Quite liberated. Lin Xiaoxi said, "Li Yao, where's the money my dad gave you?"

Li Yao: "What are you doing?"

Lin Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, "Don't spend it. Give it back to me when we go back, and I'll give it to my dad. I have my own money, almost twenty thousand, which is enough to spend."

Li Yao was shocked, "You just graduated from senior high school, right? Where did you get so much money?"

Lin Xiaoxi smiled triumphantly, "Wasn't there the World Cup a while ago? I won it."

Li Yao suddenly gasped.

Damn!

How much principal can a high school student have? How did she win twenty thousand? Did you just bet on the score directly? Li Yao asked his doubts, Lin Xiaoxi thought for a while and said, "I watched what the Weibo big V said, some followed the bets, some bet against them, and then I accidentally earned so much. Tsk, making money is so easy."

Hehe.

Li Yao rolled his eyes, "You don't need to spend your money either, your brother didn't come here to spend money this time!"

He's here to rob money!

No, even robbing isn't as fast as this.

He urged Lin Xiaoxi to go back to her room and change into a more mature outfit, lest she be stopped later. Macau's casinos require you to be 21 years old to enter, of course, not everyone is stopped, mainly those who look young... This has led to many older girls putting on a youthful appearance to be stopped on purpose, and then posting it on Douyin to show off.

Heh, women.

However, Lin Xiaoxi didn't want to, she questioned, "You're here to gamble? Are you any good?"

Li Yao's heart fluttered, he glanced at the wide, soft bed, and thought to himself, how good I am, you can try it yourself.

Forgive me, forgive me!

This is my old buddy's sister, can't mess with her...

He changed his clothes, took his wallet and documents, and said confidently, "Let's go play Roulette, bet whatever you want, I'll cover the losses!"

Lin Xiaoxi immediately jumped off the table, "You said it!"

The so-called Roulette is a wheel with small squares. The wheel rotates clockwise, and after the betting time is over, the ball will pop out in the counterclockwise direction and roll on the wheel, and finally stop in one of the small squares. The purpose of the game is to predict which color, number, or combination of numbers the ball will land on.

The odds for betting directly on the numbers are the highest—1 to 35, which means you can win 35 times the bet!

This is Li Yao's goal.

With his current ability, only this kind of gambling is suitable for him.

Inside the Grand Lisboa Casino, there are densely packed gambling tables, with many different games, poker, mahjong, pai gow, slot machines, fishing machines, everything you could want. People with different preferences are in front of different gambling tables, staring intently at the cards.

Here, the fragrance of wealth and greed intertwined and fermented is intoxicating.

Enough to make people forget time.

And in the sudden gains and losses, the adrenaline secreted rapidly in an instant is enough for gamblers to feel the reality of this world to the greatest extent... Only at that moment do they feel that they are alive.

In front of the Roulette, Li Yao had been observing for a while, and had already seen several people suddenly become rich, and also seen several people suddenly go bankrupt...

In this chaotic and decadent atmosphere, Li Yao's mind was exceptionally clear.

Finally, he stopped watching, and when the Roulette turned again, Mage Hand was launched with a bang
