"I want three cherries, five times the usual amount!" she declared resolutely.
"Okay." Draco nodded. "Let's go all in."
This time, Diana didn't object. She tossed in all three coins, the screen scrolled rapidly, and then came to a steady stop.
Three cherries, five times the bet, another perfect hit!
"Clatter, clatter..." The sound of coins falling filled the air, as if a small rain of metal was falling from the slot machine's coin dispenser!
"Ah!" Diana covered her mouth and gasped softly.
"Five times! I really won five times!" She couldn't contain herself any longer and excitedly grabbed Draco's arm and shook it.
"Young lady, you're amazing! Your mouth must have been blessed by the boss! You can say whatever you want and get it right, it's incredible!"
The words "blessed" struck a nerve with Diana, causing her face to flush bright red again. She quickly released Draco's arm and stammered, "No, we were just lucky..."
After these repeated instances of words coming true, the people around them were no longer just skeptical, but shocked!
"It hits the mark perfectly, like chanting a spell!"
"I don't think it's luck; there's definitely something to it..."
"This is bizarre, so bizarre!"
Is there something wrong with this machine?
Nobody's betting on them losing anymore.
Everyone pushed forward, eager to see this woman, whose mouth seemed to have been blessed, announce the multiplier again and witness even more miracles.
The atmosphere suddenly became frenzied and tense, as if they were watching a magic show rather than gambling.
Draco, however, still had his hands in his pockets.
Diana's breathing quickened as she watched the increasing number of coins, but Draco remained calm. "Next multiplier."
"I want... three oranges, ten times the payout!" Diana's eyes quickly scanned the slot machine's payout table.
Draco tilted his head to look at her, a faint smile playing on his lips, "Now you trust me to guarantee victory, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Diana nodded in agreement. "Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to win just because someone says it's a certain multiplier!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go all in!"
Draco waved his hand dismissively.
Diana put three more coins into the container.
As expected, three oranges, neatly arranged!
Ten times the prize!
The slot machine burst into cheerful music, and a large pile of shiny coins poured out of the coin dispenser. At that moment, the sound was simply the most beautiful symphony in the world!
"Wow--!" The crowd erupted in a unified gasp!
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
"Ten times! Ten times! That's amazing!" Diana was so excited she almost jumped up on the spot. She had completely forgotten her composure and reached out to hug Draco's arm.
The sudden contact made Draco stiffen, but he quickly relaxed and laughed, saying, "Look at you, so pathetic!"
"That's ten times the amount! Anyone would be excited!" Diana retorted, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Next, how much?" Draco stopped arguing with her, his gaze falling on the even more impressive stack of chips, and asked.
The surroundings fell silent instantly; everyone pricked up their ears, waiting quietly for Diana's verdict.
"Twenty times, three bells!" This time, Diana decisively inserted the coin after saying that and pulled down the lever without hesitation.
And then I won again!
The surrounding area was completely in an uproar.
"Holy crap! It actually worked!! Twenty times the payout!!"
"This is unbelievable!"
People who were just standing by watching the fun suddenly started pushing and shoving like crazy, crowding around the slot machines.
Some people stood on tiptoe, some craned their necks, and some even leaned half their bodies in, afraid of missing a single second of the exciting scene.
The doubts on everyone's faces had long since vanished, leaving only naked shock and envy. They looked at Diana as if she were a lively, leaping human koi fish.
"Little girl, you're amazing!"
"Boss, where did you find this precious assistant?!"
Diana, however, was now blinded by ecstasy.
Looking at the small mountain of coins in front of her, she acted impulsively.
She stepped forward, hugged Draco briefly, then quickly let go. Before Draco could react, she stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick, light kiss on the cheek!
A kiss is like a butterfly lightly touching the water, fleeting and brief.
After the kiss, she was stunned, and her face turned red.
This action caught Draco somewhat off guard, and he could still feel the moist, soft touch on his cheek.
"Ahem!" he said.
Didn't I tell you not to touch me?
"I got too excited... I won't do it again next time..."
"Next time?" A bystander who had been watching the drama unfold immediately chimed in with disbelief, "That's impossible! Next time it'll be fifty times! Can you really resist getting excited?"
"I'll hold back... really..." Diana choked on the question, lowered her head even further, and stammered softly.
As soon as he said this, the onlookers burst into laughter.
"Haha, the little girl's face is all red, but she's still being stubborn!"
"If it really hits, you might just pounce on it!"
"That's right, that's right, don't go back on your word!"
I bet a bag of candy she'll kiss me again next time!
Everyone laughed and joked, exchanging knowing, teasing glances as they moved back and forth between Diana and Draco.
The atmosphere was more heated than ever before, with everyone eagerly waiting to see if she would dare to bet fifty times the stake in the next round, and even more so to see if she could refrain from making a move.
To avoid the jeers and mocking glances around her that made her blush, Diana simply lowered her head, her gaze fixed only on the pile of metallic chips in front of her.
Her frantic heartbeat and the heat on her cheeks made her feel dizzy, and also gave rise to a reckless impulse.
Before Draco could even ask about the next multiplier, Diana simply grabbed three coins and tossed them into the slot machine.
Then, amidst the background noise of everyone still laughing and discussing, she confidently declared, "I want three sevens, fifty times!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the lever down hard.
The turntable spun wildly in an instant.
Bells, numbers, and fruits appeared as a blur on the screen, and the entire room fell silent instantly, even the breathing became soft.
One lap... two laps... three laps...
The turntable gradually slowed down, and finally came to a sudden stop.
Three bright red 7s lined up in a row
The colored lights on top of the machine flashed instantly, and a piercing winning sound effect echoed throughout the area: the 50x jackpot had been won!
The crowd fell into a deathly silence for a second; you could hear a pin drop.
The next second, the crowd went completely crazy.
"Holy crap!" Someone slapped himself hard across the face, wincing in pain but ignoring it, and exclaimed in disbelief, "This isn't a slot machine, it's a wishing machine!"
Some people went right up to the machine, examining it from head to toe, and even tapped on it. "Have you tampered with this machine? How can it be so accurate?"
Some people looked at Diana devoutly and shouted, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Beautiful lady! Help me make a wish too! What should I bet on next? Tell me, and I'll share half with you!"
