Chapter 59:
Since it was a double payout, Lin Chuan won 500,000 in this round.
Ning Wenrou, who had followed his bet with 1,000, also earned 1,000.
Though her earnings couldn’t compare to Lin Chuan’s, she was still overjoyed.
For a family like hers, 1,000 yuan was already a significant and unexpected fortune.
Her father used to work hard for a whole week and still couldn’t make this much.
Yet she had simply followed Lin Chuan’s bet and earned 1,000 with no effort at all.
Making money was way too easy like this!
Chen Yu stared blankly at Lin Chuan.
How could his luck be this absurd? He guessed it right again?!
Another round, and he had earned 500,000 more.
Where was the fairness in this world?
Lin Chuan glanced at her. “See? This is what happens when you don’t trust me. Lost again, didn’t you? If you want to make money, just follow my bets.”
Chen Yu had actually planned to follow Lin Chuan’s bet in the next round.
But she couldn’t stand his smug face.
Hearing him say that only fueled her defiant streak. “Tch, what’s there to be proud of? I don’t believe in this nonsense. I’m going to bet against you!”
Lin Chuan shook his head. This woman… truly had no self-awareness.
At that moment, the dealer pushed Lin Chuan’s winnings toward him.
Now, in front of him sat a tower of chips, with another 500,000 added to the pile.
The gamblers at the table stared in envy.
Earning half a million so quickly—his luck was ridiculous!
“Tch, what’s there to be proud of? He just got lucky.”
“Yeah, it’s just one round. What does that prove?”
“I don’t believe it. His luck has to run out at some point.”
“For the next round, we’re sticking with Grandpa Rat’s bet. Let’s see how long this guy can keep smiling…”
Even the dealer couldn’t help but take a deep look at Lin Chuan before starting the next round.
Clatter…
The dice cup spun skillfully in the dealer’s hand, producing sharp, crisp sounds.
Lin Chuan didn’t look at the dice cup, but his ears were fully focused on it.
According to his Grandmaster-Level Cheating Technique, there were two types of cheating: Soft Cheating and Hard Cheating.
Soft Cheating relied on technique, observation, hearing, and sleight of hand.
Hard Cheating relied on mechanical devices or hidden tools.
Hard Cheating was easier, as it didn’t require years of training—just the right equipment.
But its flaw was that it left physical evidence.
If someone caught you using a tool, there was no escape.
Soft Cheating, on the other hand, was undetectable as long as surveillance didn’t catch you in the act.
However, mastering it required years of ruthless practice.
The system’s reward gave Lin Chuan Soft Cheating expertise, including its techniques and muscle memory.
Because of this, he could use it instantly, skipping the years of hard training.
Among these skills was the Art of Hearing Dice.
By listening to the way the dice hit the cup, one could judge the numbers rolled.
This technique was extremely advanced—even with talent, it took 10 to 20 years to master.
Bang!
The dealer slammed the dice cup onto the table and shouted, “Place your bets!”
Everyone turned to Grandpa Rat again.
His beady eyes locked onto Lin Chuan. “If you’ve got guts, bet ‘Big’ again! Whoever backs down is a coward!”
Lin Chuan rubbed his nose. “Since you’re so insistent, I’ll listen to you.”
Then, he pushed all his chips onto ‘Small’.
“All-in!”
Gasp…
The table erupted in gasps.
Lin Chuan had just placed his entire 1.5 million on a single bet.
This was insane!
Now, the pressure was on Grandpa Rat.
Grandpa Rat was shocked.
He had only wanted to provoke Lin Chuan into making a bigger loss.
He never expected this madman to go all-in!
He was trapped now.
If he didn’t match the bet, he’d lose face.
But if he also went all-in, he might lose everything.
It was 1.5 million, after all!
Lin Chuan smirked. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you just say, ‘Whoever backs down is a coward’? You backing down now?”
Grandpa Rat’s eyes flashed with rage. “Brat, don’t get cocky! Think I’m scared?!”
He shoved all his chips onto ‘Big’.
“I’m all-in too!”
“Whoa!”
The entire casino was shocked.
This was a 3-million-yuan showdown.
“This is insane! It’s only the second round, and they’re already going all out?!”
“These two are absolute madmen! If they lose, they’ll be ruined!”
“But if they win, they’ll be rich!”
“No matter what, one of them is going to lose everything.”
“Who should we bet on?”
“I trust Grandpa Rat! I have 30,000 yuan left. All-in!”
“Screw you, 30,000 is nothing! I have 50,000—all-in!”
The massive bet even drew players from other tables.
Such high-stakes gambling was rare in an underground casino.
Soon, most gamblers followed Grandpa Rat and bet on ‘Big’.
Chen Yu hesitated slightly before placing her bet on ‘Big’ as well.
Ning Wenrou, however, remained loyal to her master and placed her 2,000 chips on ‘Small’.
Then, the shouting began.
“Big! Big! Big!”
Ning Wenrou clenched her small fists and whispered, “Small… Small…”
The dealer gripped the dice cup, sweat forming on his palms.
A 3-million-yuan pot—even he was nervous.
With the crowd shouting louder and louder, the dealer slowly lifted the cup.
Shhh…
Everyone leaned forward, holding their breath.
The three dice showed: 4, 4, 2.
Total: 10.
Small!
“…!”
The gamblers, who had just been shouting for ‘Big’, froze.
The table fell into dead silence.
Then—
Thud!
Everyone turned to see Grandpa Rat had collapsed onto the ground, his face blank.
“H-How… is this possible?”
“How could it be… ‘Small’?!”
The gamblers stared at Lin Chuan.
He sat there, completely calm, as if he had expected this all along.
1.5 million!
Doubled to 3 million!
For anyone else, this would have been life-changing money.
Yet Lin Chuan showed no excitement at all.
Did he not care about the money?
Or had he already known he would win?
