Betting Big or Small

"Gentlemen, buy the room, buy the sky!" the official shouted twice. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he pressed a button on the table. The dice inside the glass case were launched by a slingshot, tumbling and rolling. After about three or four seconds, the three dice lost their momentum and came to rest, revealing three "☐" dots.

"Three '3 points'!"

The dealer glanced at Liu Kun, and upon seeing Liu Kun's expression, he secretly nodded. These subtle actions were noticed by the observant Li Wei, who chuckled inwardly.

"My lord, congratulations! Haha, you're incredibly lucky! You got off to a winning start in the very first game, what a good omen!" Liu Kun said with a smile.

"Luck, just luck!" Li Wei replied simply, but inwardly he sneered: They want me to have a taste of success first, and then they'll try to cheat me when I lower my guard and increase my bets.

Li Wei's senses had been constantly on the croupier ever since he pressed the button on the table. Li Wei always felt that if a casino owner couldn't control the dice rolls, he was essentially risking his life. The scale of this place couldn't possibly be built on just "luck." Therefore, Li Wei was 100% certain that they had the means to control whether the dice rolled big or small.

In the next round, Li Wei still bet on "small," and Liu Kun bet on "big" again. The other three gamblers did the same as in the previous round.

After seeing everyone place their bets, the dealer glanced at Liu Kun unconsciously, then tapped the button on the table again. The three dice were ejected again, rolled, and then another low (small) was drawn.

Without a doubt, Li Wei had won again. In no time, he had won four Destroyer Coin. He thought to himself, no wonder so many people like gambling. If one's mind is not strong, one will become deeply involved after winning a few times. Once one loses, one will desperately want to win back the losses. At this time, one trap after another awaits him. By the time he realizes what is happening, he will probably be trapped and unable to extricate himself.

Judging from the way Liu Kun and the dealer cooperated, this must have been their first time, and it was definitely not a coincidence that the dealer was able to get "small" twice.

At least Li Wei didn't believe it was a coincidence.

At this moment, the woman who had been accompanying Li Wei brought over a drink, then pressed the seemingly delicious-looking drink against Li Wei's body, occasionally squeezing Li Wei arm with her ample breasts.

Li Wei did not refuse, because he saw that besides himself, Liu Kun also had a woman sitting on his lap at the table, and he was openly kneading the woman's breasts with his hands.

After several more rounds, Li Wei was winning more than he was losing, and his chips had accumulated to over 10,000 Destroyer Coin. At this point, Liu Kun, seeing that the time was right, laughed and said, "Sir, your luck is on fire, why not press your advantage and bet a few hard rounds!"

Li Wei glanced at Liu Kun, smiled slightly, and then pushed all the chips in front of him without hesitation.

"This time, I'm going big, I'm betting 10,000, and I'm also betting on small."

Seeing Li Wei's "generosity," a glint of shrewdness flashed in Liu Kun's eyes, and he quietly made a hand gesture to the croupier.

The dealer, understanding the implication, saw that the other gamblers had also placed their bets on "big" and "small," and then slammed his hand on the button on the table.

Just as the dealer's hand touched the button, a faint burst of energy beat him to it, pressing down on the red button. Everyone present was a master, and they all sensed the energy, their expressions changing drastically. Liu Kun glared fiercely at Li Wei.

The button was pressed first by Qi Jin, and the taro inside the glass case rolled around for a moment before stopping, revealing its "dots".

"Sorry, it's me again, haha," Li Wei said without changing his expression, patting the bunny girl clinging to him. "Take back all the chips I won."

The bunny girl, having no fighting ability, naturally couldn't sense the hidden force just now. Seeing that Li Wei had won, she happily puffed out her huge breasts and swiped the chips on the table over.

Surprisingly, none of the people at the table stopped them. Except for Liu Kun, whose eyes held a hint of hatred as he looked at Li Wei, the other three all looked approving.

"Brother, impressive skills!" A gambler smiled politely at Li Wei. "I am Greedy Wolf from the Werewolf Star Domain, and these two are my companions. The three of us have already lost no less than 10 million Destroyer Coin here, and we've been trying to find the secret... but alas, you saw through the Mysterious Sect with just a few glances, brother..."

Casinos cheat; this is an age-old truth, and the gamblers who come here are well aware of it. However, most people simply don't notice the problem. Although they lose repeatedly, the more they lose, the less likely they are to stop. That's the strange psychology of gamblers.

Greedy Wolf was also a C-level expert, so he could naturally sense the hidden force that Li Wei had just sent out. Therefore, he guessed that the other party must have found the secret to controlling the toss.

"Brother Greedy Wolf, you flatter me. I cultivate martial arts techniques. Just now, I was just a little careless and used my inner strength to press the button. I didn't expect it to actually open the 'small' button. It was just luck. As for any mystery, there's absolutely none of it. What do you all think?" Li Wei returned the greeting and asked in return. Greedy Wolf and the others looked blank, wondering if they had guessed wrong.

The dealer quickly chimed in, "Of course! Everything here is absolutely fair; there's no trickery or cheating involved. Please don't make any unfounded guesses."

Li Wei chuckled, then continued, "I heard from Little Rabbit that if guests like, they can also set up the gambling equipment themselves. Is that true?"

The "rabbit girl" was the one clinging to Li Wei. Although Li Wei asked the croupier this question, he also glanced at Liu Kun.

"Yes, casino rules state that if guests wish, they can press this switch themselves to demonstrate that there are no cheating mechanisms on the gambling equipment. Please rest assured, guests!" the dealer hurriedly said, though sweat was already beading on his forehead.

He was fully aware of the secrets of the gambling equipment, but he didn't believe his opponent had discovered them. The score just now was probably just luck on their part.

Hearing this, Liu Kun was filled with doubts, but he also felt that the casino's secrets were extremely well hidden. Even he himself had only heard of them but never knew what they were. This country bumpkin in front of him probably didn't know either, so he must have just guessed randomly. He probably saw that the stakes were too high and wanted Liu Kun to shake the dice.

When the three Greedy Wolf heard the dealer say this, although they didn't believe it, they couldn't find any problem with it for the time being, so they just snorted and continued to sit down and gamble.

Li Wei just won 10,000 Destroyer Coin in one go. Including his initial investment, he now has over 10,000 chips. In a casino, this is no small sum.

The gambling continued, and Li Wei's luck was exceptionally good. He won several more rounds, and his chips had reached a staggering 40,000. Liu Kun, on the other hand, grew increasingly gloomy. He had intended to trap Li Wei and make him lose money, but the result was completely the opposite.

"Could this country bumpkin really be that lucky?" Liu Kun wondered anxiously. Just then, Li Wei slapped the bunny girl's shapely bottom and laughed, "I'm tired of playing too. Good luck, made quite a bit. Let's go up to the third floor and see if there's anything else fun."

Now Liu Kun was in a panic. If he let the other party leave like this, how would he explain the boast he had made to that "big shot"? He had guaranteed that he could make the other party lose all his money at the casino and then use the Destroyer's City to pay off the debt. Now, not only had the other party not lost, but he had also made a fortune.

If this matter falls apart, Liu Kun himself will likely face dire consequences.

In a moment of desperation, he stood up and said, "Sir, your luck is so good, how can you stop now? You should press your advantage and play a few more rounds!"

Li Wei waved his hand, pointed to the chips in front of him, and said, "I've already won so much. Look, Greedy Wolf and the others are out of money. Nobody's going to gamble with me, so what's the point?"

Liu Kun was anxious, but his mind was in turmoil. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you're in such a good mood, sir, why don't I join you for a few rounds? Of course, to make sure you have fun, our minimum bet is ten thousand, and we won't bet on big or small. You and I will each press the button to roll out the dice, and the one who rolls the higher number wins. How about that?"

They're finally about to show their true colors!

Li Wei sneered, but on the surface he carefully considered the matter and said, "'That's a good idea, but...'"

Seeing Li Wei hesitate, Liu Kun said urgently, "Sir, please speak freely if you have any concerns. Since I'm gambling with you, I will naturally listen to your every word."

Li Wei chuckled, thinking to himself, "That's exactly what I wanted to hear." After pretending to consider it for a while, he said, "I think betting 10,000 is a bit too little, not enough fun. How about... we bet at least 40,000? That would be more exciting."

Everyone was stunned.

Liu Kun, who had assumed Li Wei didn't want to gamble, was already thinking about how to stop Li Wei from leaving. However, he didn't expect to hear what the other party said, and his expression froze. For a moment, his mind couldn't process it.

The three members of the Greedy Wolf also gasped. They had encountered situations where they bet 40,000 Destroyer Coin at once before, but those were things that only Destroyer of Starfields Level 5 and above could afford to do. Now that they had actually encountered someone like Li Wei, they were naturally shocked. However, they had nothing to hide, and after their initial surprise, they cheered loudly, then turned their gaze to Liu Kun, looking at him with amusement.

They weren't fools. Liu Kun's repeated attempts to lure Li Wei into gambling clearly showed his ill intentions. His final suggestion of a one-on-one bet further revealed his intention to make things difficult for Li Wei. Liu Kun, however, thought he was being brilliantly manipulated, completely outmaneuvered. This time, if he didn't refuse the bet, he would lose face big time.
