Chapter 58: Chapter 49 Ten Million
Chapter 58 -49 Ten Million
After the upgrade, the Eyes of Identification provided a hint:
“Every casino has small mechanisms, and Happy Paradise is no exception. The winning number in roulette is not entirely random; it’s predetermined.
Quietly informing you, in the next round, the ball will land on number ‘8’.
By the way, don’t win too much in the same game, and don’t keep winning consecutively. The more you win, the higher the risk of exposure. At that point, Happy Paradise will target you, making you lose everything.
After showing off a little, you can go check out the boxing match next door.”
“Casinos are all the same…” Zhou Yuan muttered inwardly and immediately placed the chips on ‘8’.
The Goblin sneered and also put down his chips.
The surrounding gamblers, seeing the new round starting, placed their bets on their chosen numbers.
“In that case, I’ll join in the fun.”
Reagan chuckled and pushed a 500,000 chip onto ’19’.
—500,000 was the betting limit in roulette.
Whiz!
The clockwork dealer spun the roulette and released the ball.
The ball spun rapidly for several turns, then bounced around inside the roulette.
The gamblers shouted their bet numbers, hoping the ball would land on theirs.
Plink.
The wheel stopped, and the ball rested on ‘8’.
“Oh?”
Reagan raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at Zhou Yuan, “You actually hit it, but unfortunately, with such a small bet, you didn’t win much.”
“Just win a few more times.” Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, taking the chips handed over by the clockwork dealer.
The roulette odds were 1:35. Zhou Yuan had only bet 10, so even with the winnings, including the initial bet, he could only get 360.
“Next is 21.”
Then, Zhou Yuan bet all 360 on number ’21’.
Whiz!
The roulette spun, and the ball went in.
“21!” Someone exclaimed, looking at Zhou Yuan in disbelief; he hit it again!
“Next is 30.”
“Continue.”
Zhou Yuan bet all over 10,000 on ’30’ and provocatively looked at the Goblin, “Don’t you even have the guts to bet 500,000? Coward.”
“Go fuck yourself.” Enraged, the Goblin immediately took out a 500,000 chip and bet it.
“Nice, showing some courage.”
“Who needs you to say that?” The Goblin’s face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on the roulette. To him, 500,000 was a huge sum.
Plink.
The ball slowly stopped.
“30!” A chorus of gasps erupted from the gamblers; Zhou Yuan had hit it again!
So, Zhou Yuan’s amount of chips doubled to 441,000.
Just by winning three rounds, 10 had doubled to 440,000.
This is why countless people are obsessed with gambling. Overnight riches are not a dream.
“Your winning streak has caught the casino manager’s attention; go play something else.”
“No fun, let’s play something else. Anyone want to join?”
Zhou Yuan smiled at the Goblin, Reagan, and the surrounding gamblers:
“This is a rare opportunity, let Wang help you quit gambling.”
“You arrogant bastard, I will beat you!” The Goblin’s eyes were bloodshot, clearly losing control.
“Interesting.” Reagan, wealthy and unconcerned with the small amount of money, was intrigued by Zhou Yuan’s provocation.
Most of the gamblers, hot-tempered, decided to follow Zhou Yuan’s challenge.
“Let’s play Big or Small.”
Big or Small is the most crowded game in any casino because it’s straightforward, with no complicated rules. Even someone who knows nothing can play.
Arriving at the table, the clockwork dealer had just finished shaking the dice.
“The total is 12, all three dice show four.”
Zhou Yuan went all in, betting all his chips on all three dice showing the same number.
“Then I’ll bet Small!” The Goblin pushed out a 500,000 chip on Small.
Reagan bet Big, also putting 500,000, which was the game’s maximum.
In addition to betting Big or Small, players could also bet on the individual dice values and the total.
However, the odds for hitting 12 weren’t high, so Zhou Yuan didn’t bet on it.
A moment later, all the gamblers had placed their bets, with some following Zhou Yuan, believing in his luck.
“No more bets.”
The clockwork dealer lifted the cover, revealing all three dice showed four!
“Ahh!!!”
The gamblers who followed went crazy. One rabbit-man even jumped three meters high, screaming incessantly.
“Tsk.” Reagan clicked his tongue, but his expression remained unchanged, as losing that money was nothing to him.
“This… this is impossible!”
The Goblin’s eyes were red with rage; the hundred thousand he had just won was nearly all lost!
“You must be cheating!”
“Empty words, where’s your proof? Don’t slander without evidence.”
Zhou Yuan calmly took the chips pushed by the dealer.
All three showing the same number had odds of 1:24, now his total chips had skyrocketed to 10,584,000, reaching the ten-million level.
He had never been so rich.
Don’t think it’s simple to become a millionaire. In the casino, the rise of a millionaire means countless gamblers have lost everything.
Just this round, countless gamblers lost their fortunes, crying in despair.

Failure is the norm in the casino. Everyone thinks they can be the lucky one, but they’re just an NPC contributing money.
The total losses of these gamblers even exceeded Zhou Yuan’s winnings; it’s said customers might win a little, but the house never loses.
Having won, Zhou Yuan was very pleased, but this feeling wasn’t the excitement and thrill of winning because he wasn’t gambling.
Gambling is gambling because winning is about probability; perpetual winning isn’t gambling.
So he wasn’t ‘gambling’, but ‘winning’!
Since there was no gamble, there were no gambling-related emotions; apart from some joy, Zhou Yuan felt more serenity.
It was too easy to win, it’s rather boring.
“No fun, I’m done.”
Zhou Yuan knew when to quit, fearing he’d attract the attention of Happy Paradise’s upper echelons if he kept winning.
But the Goblin, having nearly lost everything, was not happy, angrily yelling, “Don’t you dare leave, play cards with me! If I don’t beat you, I’ll kill myself here!”
“No, thanks.”
Zhou Yuan walked towards the exchange counter with a big pile of chips without looking back.
“Ahhhh!” The Goblin yelled to the sky, regretting it, slapping himself. Why didn’t he quit while he was ahead?
“Sir, please wait.”
At that moment, a voluptuous blonde woman in revealing clothing stopped Zhou Yuan, with a charming smile, “Interested in boxing bets? There’s no upper limit, and the winnings… aren’t just money.”
“As a lustful witch, it’s natural for her to be in Happy Paradise, right? She’s interested in your body, so she approached you.”
“Damn my charm, the second witch wanting to sleep with me…” Zhou Yuan mused, intrigued by her offer: “What do you mean, not just money?”
“Didn’t you see what happened to that werewolf earlier?
Some gamblers, after massive losses, bet everything they have, like their body, their personality, their Aoneng Power…”
The blonde witch leaned closer in a revealing evening gown, exposing large areas of pale skin and emitting a unique scent that stirred a burning desire within Zhou Yuan. She extended her hand with a smile, “By the way, I’m Julie.”
Zhou Yuan shook her hand, showing a hint of puzzlement: “Aoneng Power?”
“Yes, thanks to Happy Paradise’s special rules, Aoneng Power can also be used as a bet… This place has quite a background.”
Julie smiled, “I won two types of Aoneng Power from others, but using Aoneng Power to trade is rare and hard to come by.”
She then whispered in Zhou Yuan’s ear, “Not just Aoneng Power, even lifespan, soul, identity… everything you can imagine can be staked.”
The warm breath tickled Zhou Yuan, increasing his sense of heat and agitation. It’s no wonder witches have top-notch seduction skills.
Intrigued by her invitation, Zhou Yuan said, “Take me to see.”
“Sure.” Julie tried to wrap her arm around Zhou Yuan’s, but he stepped back a bit.
“You’re quite cautious.” Julie didn’t mind, just laughed.
As a witch, she could tell Zhou Yuan was a rookie, so his behavior wasn’t surprising.
Julie led Zhou Yuan to the boxing area, where two figures were fiercely battling on the stage.
One was a burly human muscleman, the other a strange creature with a tiger head and human body.
Their fight was brutal, with each punch resonating with the audience, sending the atmosphere into a frenzy, with cheers as loud as an avalanche.
“These are the lowest level gamblers, the real big shots are in the private boxes.”
Julie looked at Zhou Yuan with seductive eyes and invited, “Want to come to my box?”
“That’s basically walking into a trap…” Zhou Yuan politely declined, “No, thanks, I’ll just watch.”
“Then let’s watch here.”
Julie brought Zhou Yuan to the betting counter, “Two bets of 500,000 on Zhang Ji to win.”
Then she turned and chuckled, “My treat.”
Nothing is more expensive than free… Zhou Yuan felt cornered, her level was too high for him to handle.
Suddenly, Reagan and the Goblin approached, the former calmly saying, “Two bets of 500,000 on the tiger-man.”
Zhou Yuan squinted slightly, still going against him? And they seemed to have reached some cooperation…
“The Goblin has gone mad. To get back at you, he decided to mortgage himself to Reagan.”
Unrepentant, destined end of a gambling addict.
Zhou Yuan sneered.
No big deal, even if they cooperated, he had pulled out, making him invincible.
This trip’s gains were enough; waiting for the driver to finish and head off.
From now on, he would play it safe.
