Chapter 57: Chapter 48 Betting Strange
Chapter 57 -48 Betting Strange
The mechanized doll laughed mechanically twice: “This type of abnormal creature is obviously more valuable alive.”
Zhou Yuan suddenly understood: “Oh, I get it, raising them to produce resources continuously, right? That’s indeed more valuable.”
“You don’t get it at all.” The mechanized doll couldn’t hold it in but still kept smiling, “It will become an employee of Happy Paradise and work for a long time to repay its debt.”
Zhou Yuan looked at her in extreme shock: “You guys are actually this kind?”
Owing money, yet not having hands or feet chopped off, tendons pulled, tongues cut, eyes gouged, or kidneys sold, but instead getting a job?
He originally thought this was a dirty black market chain, but he hadn’t expected it to be quite humane?
“Our boss is a celestial being, not as evil as humans.”
“…Okay.” Zhou Yuan suspected the other party was insulting him, and he had solid evidence.
He glanced around and soon found the driver of the 106 bus, Reagan the manager, a deep-sea merfolk, a goblin, a playboy angel, and a goat demon, all at different gambling tables.
Zhou Yuan walked to the driver’s side and took out his terminal: “Sir, let’s add each other as friends, and call me when you start driving.”
“Okay, okay, no problem.” The driver’s stagnant face revealed a smile, having evidently just won a lot of money, and he took out his terminal to add Zhou Yuan as a friend.
“Do you want to play too?” he asked, “Since you’re here, not playing is simply a loss. Look at me, I’ve made three hundred thousand just now.”
“I’ll pass.” Zhou Yuan shook his head.

His parents were both gambling addicts, so he absolutely detested such things.
“Hey, isn’t this the little buddy?”
Reagan the manager walked over at this time, beaming, “Why aren’t you playing? Is it because you don’t have money? I can lend you some.”
Saying this, he reached into his briefcase and pulled out a gold bar, handing it to Zhou Yuan: “Considering our bond, I’ll lend it to you, no need to return it.”
“Ha ha.”
Zhou Yuan sneered without taking it. This trick was too obvious; on the surface, it seemed like they lent you money without needing you to return it, but the real aim was to drag you into this bottomless pit. Once you’re in, that’s when the nightmare begins.
[A hypocritical person, a deceitful person, a vengeful person. He bore a grudge because you cheated him out of a few snacks and wanted to drag you into the abyss of gambling.]
Even the Eyes of Identification gave a hint.
“Come on, he’s even lending you money. Just take it.” The driver saw Zhou Yuan unmoved and directly snatched the gold bar, “If you don’t want it, give it to me.”
“Then it’s yours.” Reagan the manager smiled.
“Such a coward.”
At this moment, an unexpected disdainful laugh came from beside them—it was the goblin from before, full of contempt. “You don’t even dare play when someone lends you money, pathetic coward.”
[Because he lost a lot of money, plus you look better than he does, he naturally targets you.]
“With your foul temper, your luck can’t be that good.”
Zhou Yuan gave a faint smile, with his 11 points of charm making his sarcasm particularly stylish, “May I ask how much you’ve won?”
“You son of a…”
Stabbed right in the sore spot and crushed by looks, the goblin almost ground his teeth to dust. His green face turned dark and uncertain.
But in the next second, as the ball on the roulette table stopped, the goblin froze and then laughed wildly in joy.
He hit the jackpot!
“I won one hundred and twenty thousand! Talk now! Coward, say something!” The goblin immediately started to boast.
If you don’t boast when you win, is it so you can be mocked by others when you lose?
And the surrounding gamblers also cheered, hurling jeers at Zhou Yuan.
But Zhou Yuan was stunned at this moment, a prompt appeared as he looked at the gambling table.
[Eyes of Identification level insufficient, unable to discern, requires level: LV2]
[Upgrade it, and you shall become a gambling monster here.]
Huh?
This meant if he upgraded the Eyes of Identification, he could see the results in advance?
The Eyes of Identification was currently at LV1, and the highest level was only LV5.
To upgrade to LV2, it needed 10,000 star coins.
But Zhou Yuan currently had only 7,500 star coins, unless he sold those few snacks.
Zhou Yuan calculated it; if he could win using the Eyes of Identification, losing a few bags of snacks wouldn’t be a loss.
But he felt very conflicted inside.
Because of those scoundrels, he deeply hated gambling. Now being asked to join a gambling game, he felt extremely resistant.
“Coward, just leave if you don’t want to play. Don’t be an eyesore.” The goblin laughed.
“Get out! Get out! Get out!” The gamblers started to cheer, shouting all kinds of nasty words.
Zhou Yuan lowered his eyes.
Gambling was the root cause of his miserable childhood. He didn’t want to touch such things, didn’t want to follow in his gambling addict parents’ footsteps.
But the significant gains in front of him made it hard not to be tempted.
Surely every gambler before being trapped in the pit had the same mindset, believing they could turn their lives around and become billionaires, reaching the peak of their lives…
From gambling money to spending on lottery draws, everyone had a glimmer of hope before starting, thinking they could win a fortune, but it always ended in smoke and mirrors.
Gambling is the quickest way to get rich, making a beggar an instant billionaire, but it also turns a billionaire into a beggar.
Many people knew gambling was bad, but it had a kind of power that made people addicted.
Silence.
In the midst of countless boos, Zhou Yuan fell into a long silence.
“Heh heh… heh ha ha ha ha…”
Suddenly, Zhou Yuan laughed, confusing everyone present.
He had figured it out.
Gambling was an uncertain thing. It was the mystery and the huge ups and downs brought by uncertainty that made people addicted.
But he had a cheat.
With the Eyes of Identification’s hints, he wasn’t gambling.
He was in control, in control of everything!
Stomping on luck, stomping on probability!
After a bout of laughter, Zhou Yuan seemed to be a completely different person, his eyes and demeanor undergoing an indescribable change.
A thing called confidence appeared on him.
“I originally didn’t want to come out, but alas, there are always some petty people who are so presumptuous.”
Zhou Yuan looked at the mechanized doll, “What’s the minimum bet?”
“The smallest chip is 10 federal coins.”
Zhou Yuan took out a 10-dollar bill from his backpack: “Exchange this for chips.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!” The goblin burst into laughter, “Where did this pauper come from? I thought you were going to pull out hundreds of thousands! Ten bucks? Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Zhou Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, giving a calm smile:
“Back then, Chen Daozai used 20 bucks to win 37 million. Me, Wang Zhen, winning 74 million with 10 bucks is no problem.”
