96 A New Game
Lu Ning successfully hopped down, and got into the car.
Song Wenqi turned his head to glare at her. “So slow.”
Lu Ning was not flustered. “I got stuck.”
Song Wenqi sized up her petite body. How could something small enough to be blown away by the wind get stuck?
However, he did not probe further. The car drove towards their usual destination.
——————
The underground casino in F Prefecture was noticeably much livelier today.
As soon as Lu Ning followed Song Wenqi in, she was engulfed by shouting and cheering from all around her.
Not two steps in, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and swiveled to look in a certain direction. Everyone there was busy cheering for their wins, however, so Lu Ning did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
Song Wenqi turned to glance at her. “What’s wrong, brat?”
Lu Ning shook her head, and followed him into the special passageway.
At the location where she had just been looking, the people in front who had been cheering moved to the side, and a few familiar figures appeared.
Gu Chen, Gu Zi, Ninth Brother, and Sixth Brother.
The four of them heaved a sigh of relief.
We did our best to hide, but why did it seem that she still sensed us?
They watched her enter the special passageway, and soon after, Room No. 9 lit up. Lu Ning sat on the sofa in the middle and was very easy to observe. Although she was wearing clothes that concealed her physique, it was very easy for them to recognize her since they knew her.
Gu Chen whispered, “Why isn’t Qinglang here yet?”
Ninth Brother leaned close to his ear. “He has something to settle and will take a while. Let’s take a look around first.”
They had spent a few million to get into this place; it would be a waste if they did not win some of it back.
…
And today’s game was even simpler, even more exciting than before.
The card game for today was: ‘Guess the suit’.
With a deck of poker cards as usual, four cards will be chosen, and players will guess the suits of each of these four cards separately. The more guesses they got right, the more they would win; and if they guessed all of them correctly, they would double their winnings.
Ever since this game was implemented, very few people were able to guess all the cards correctly. Thereafter, the person-in-charge increased the payout odds, and so even more people went crazy about this game.
This was because the game was simple, yet left no room for any mistakes.
There were four suits: Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds.
Suppose Spades, Hearts and Diamonds appeared in a round. If you bet on any two of these three suits, you would win; however, if you bet on Clubs—which never showed up—you would lose everything.
Everyone would want to bet on more suits to increase their chances of winning. However, if they ever bet on the wrong one, they would lose everything. Hence, this game was a test of human nature; everyone wanted to win more, but everyone also did not want to lose everything.
Those who were greedy and bet on many suits would often lose entire rounds. On the other hand, those who were cautious and only bet one suit at a time could surreptitiously win; they won less each time, but they won more times overall.
Therefore, this game was far more exhilarating than other games.
…
As everyone was preparing to start the game, they suddenly realized that Room No. 9 had lit up; the people below could not help but jump for joy.
A few days ago, they had really won by following their bets. However, they did not know if they could continue winning this game today.
A new round began. Everyone stared at the dealer’s hands, but they all gave up due to his fancy, intricate shuffling.
They could not even see the cards clearly, let alone memorize them.
After the cards were picked, the patrons began to place their bets. Before the whistle sounded, they hesitated and could not help but look up at the big screen; they wanted to see if Room No. 9 had placed any bets, and wanted to follow suit.
This was because there was no rule which permitted players to follow the glass room bets in this game. Everyone only had one chance.
However, the results of Room No. 9’s bets did not appear until the whistle sounded. At this point, everyone had already placed their bets.
When everyone looked up at Room No. 9’s bets, they could not help but be shocked again.
