The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Fortune Turns for the Better

Mrs. Liu had won quite a lot today, adding up to around seven or eight hundred thousand, but at this moment, he was in a foul mood. Because he was mocked by some young kid! And getting mocked using his own words no less, made his anger worse.

If it wasn’t for the oversight present here, he would’ve taught this young upstart a lesson!

Earlier he said he would quit gambling if he hit a three-of-a-kind, but those were mere words of frustration. How could LuuYong, such an unlucky guy, who lost five consecutive rounds betting on highs and lows, suddenly win by betting on three-of-a-kind?

Yet faced with the reality, Mrs. Liu was speechless; even a blind cat can sometimes get a dead mouse.

Even more unexpected, LuuYong, this guy, actually took his words seriously and persuaded him to quit gambling. What a joke!

”Hmm, just got lucky with one win, better head home early with that luck of yours. It’s just five million; it won’t be long before it’s all gone.” Mrs. Liu sneered.

LuuYong had long been displeased with this fellow. He couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at the mountain of chips before him: ”Fortune indeed turned in my favor, seems like today I’m going to make a fortune.”

”The heart is never content, like a snake wishing to swallow an elephant.” Mrs. Liu sighed, not believing this unlucky fellow could win.

The two exchanged words, each refusing to concede, both taunting each other, but neither daring to make a real move, as this was the Wang Family’s place.

The croupier acted as if nothing was happening and began shaking the dice again, that crisp sound exciting everyone listening.

Following Lin Tian’s gesture, LuuYong again bet on three-of-a-kind this round! And with half of his chips, no less — two hundred and fifty thousand!

Over two hundred thousand, that’s a big gamble. If LuuYong’s one-million bet on three-of-a-kind before was a desperate move, then this two hundred and fifty thousand is sheer madness. No one’s ever played like this before! And he’s just a novice!

LuuYong ignored the gazes around him, feeling apprehensive yet fearless inside. Even if he lost this two hundred and fifty thousand, he’d still have two hundred fifteen thousand in hand, so why worry?

”Crazy!” was Mrs. Liu’s assessment.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the dice cup was opened, and the croupier announced loudly: ”Five twos, three-of-a-kind!”

Wow~

The hall erupted; this scene was too dramatic! The chance of hitting three-of-a-kind twice in a row is extremely low, hard to encounter. More astonishing is that someone bet on it both times, and it’s a newbie!

Is this a beginner’s luck, a true turnaround of fortunes?

This explanation seems more reasonable; as for cheating, that’s completely out of the question, utterly impossible, right?

”Two times five is ten, five squared is twenty-five, total is... twelve hundred fifty thousand!” LuuYong’s eyes widened, filled with excitement. How long had it been? Less than ten minutes, and with his two hundred fifty thousand on hand, it’s now fifteen million!

His excitement caused his heart to race, goosebumps covered his skin. At this moment, LuuYong truly understood how enticing this was! It was exhilarating! Especially when he saw the envious gazes of those around him, his vanity received immense satisfaction!

When the croupier finished shaking the dice cup again, LuuYong saw the gesture and pushed all five hundred thousand onto the ’small’ bet.

”Is this kid crazy? Betting so big?”

”Heh, clearly a blind gamble; I don’t believe he can be this lucky again, we’ll bet on ’big’!”

The surrounding people were buzzing with discussion, most pressing their bets on ’big,’ and naturally, Mrs. Liu was among them.

Gamblers are superstitious, they believe in luck. Luck, like the concept of extremes turning into their opposites, suggests that after hitting three-of-a-kind twice, the next is likely to lose, but he doesn’t get it, brazenly throwing out five hundred thousand — truly brainless!

This theory might sound unconvincing, but in the eyes of gamblers, luck means everything!

...

In the corners around the card expert arena, several compartments are built up. Each compartment is furnished with various gaming tools, comfortable tables and chairs, and sells various drinks. Of course, prices here are much higher than outside, at least threefold, but for these wealthy gamblers, even if the price were ten times higher, they wouldn’t ask; they’d just buy directly.

Gamblers earn money fast, and spend it just as quickly, adhering to the motto ’Heaven has its use for my talent, when a thousand pieces of gold have been squandered, they’ll return.’ Naturally, they spend lavishly!

At this moment, two men and a woman sat on the comfortable sofa in one of the compartments, watching the dice table below and discussing something.

”Ah C hasn’t arrived yet?” It was a foreign man who spoke. With wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, and a well-shaped nose, he was evidently an East Continent native, yet he spoke fluent Celestial Dragon Continent’s language. He was one of the overseers of this card expert arena, nicknamed DS, standing for the initials of ’Saint of Gambling’ in Celestial Dragon Continent pronunciation.

”He’s on the way.” Shan said calmly, his gaze always fixed on Lin Tian and the other two, with no mind to care about anything else.

Shan asked, ”What do you think, will this round be big or small?”

”Small.” Zhang Ya’Er exhaled a puff of her lady’s cigarette and said. She was a very elegant woman with a sense of style. Her long fingers holding the cigarette, and her red lips gently pursing, were like performing an art, very watchable. But of course, the most watchable was her explosive figure, extremely alluring.

”Why?” Shan frowned; he hoped these people wouldn’t keep winning!

”Intuition.” The two words floated with the smoke from her red lips.

Intuition for a gambler is as important as a dog’s nose or a cat’s whiskers. If a gambler can’t trust his intuition, then what else can he trust?

”I think it’s ’big,’ just like your chest, hahaha...” DS raised his eyebrows, laughing loudly, even reaching out a perverted hand towards those ample bosoms.

Snap!

Zhang Ya’Er smacked down the pig hoof with one hand, laughing and cursing, ”You old dog, dare to come for me in your desperation?”

”Hehehe, if this one’s ’big,’ how about keeping me company tonight?” DS laughed.

”What if it’s ’small’?”

”Then I’ll accompany you to bed!”

”Truly an old dog.” Zhang Ya’Er snuffed out her cigarette, nodding, ”Alright!”

”Hahaha, Xiao Shan, want to join in?” DS smirked.

They are gamblers; such wagers happen every day, and they love this thrill.

Shan listened to this couple flirting before him but remained unmoved. He just looked at the gaming table below and said, ”Quiet, it’s starting!”

Instantly, all three turned their eyes towards the gaming table, and just like the other gamblers, their spirits grew tense.

”One one two three five, twelve points, small!” The croupier loudly announced, looking at the dice points in the cup!
