12: Chapter 12: Casting a long line to catch a big fish? Don't be ridiculous!

"How many chips would you like to exchange, sir?"

The speaker was a receptionist. She was quite good-looking, with a professional smile on her face that was sexy without losing its charm.

Chu Xiao thought for a moment, took out his phone, and said, "Please exchange ten thousand yuan worth of chips for me."

Hearing that he was only exchanging ten thousand, a hint of disdain flashed in the receptionist's eyes, but she hid it well. Smiling, she took out a single chip and said, "I'll scan your code."

Chu Xiao picked up the chip, an inexplicable smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Half an hour later.

In the back office of the casino, inside the main monitoring room, a stern-looking man wearing a white suit and a gold necklace narrowed his eyes. His gaze was fixed on the screen, watching Chu Xiao, who was laughing wildly.

He frowned and asked, "Who is this person? Have we looked into his background?"

"Brother Long, we've already investigated. His name is Chu Xiao, the eldest Young Master of the Chu Group. He ran away from home three years ago and only suddenly reappeared yesterday."

"Chu Group? Do you mean the Chu Group with assets exceeding 50 billion?"

"Yes, Brother Long! What should we do now? That kid turned ten thousand yuan into fifty million in winnings. He has more and more chips, and his rate of profit is getting faster. Many gamblers saw his luck and started following his bets. Our losses have already reached over 300 million! If we don't find a way to stop him, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses tonight!"

"Is this kid cheating?"

"Our people have been watching him for a long time. He's not cheating; it's just pure luck!"

"What! Pure luck?"

The stern man named Brother Long laughed, then narrowed his eyes with a deep gaze. "Keep an eye on him for now. Let him win tonight. As long as he gets addicted, he'll definitely spit it all back out twofold in the future. This is a big fish; naturally, we have to play the long line and use heavy bait. By the way, have Rose go and make contact."

"Brother Long is indeed Brother Long. I understand!"

On the other side.

Chu Xiao was surrounded by the crowd. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot with excitement, fanatically shouting, 'God of Gamblers! God of Gamblers!'

Many beautiful women even approached him, offering olive branches and flaunting their charms, wanting to get to know Chu Xiao and perhaps earn some pocket money.

Chu Xiao used the System to scan the area and found that these women were all tarnished goods. There was even an old woman in her 40s who dared to wink at him.

Truly, money dazzles the eyes.

Just then, a young woman in a red evening gown walked over. She didn't look very old, maybe in her early 20s, with fox-like eyes, a beauty mark, a high bridge nose, and a willow waist. Every frown and smile was incredibly alluring.

"Handsome, you don't mind if I sit next to you, do you?"

She was called Red Rose. Her real name was unknown, but she was a star in this casino. As soon as she appeared, people gave up their seats very politely.

"I don't mind. Have a seat!"

Chu Xiao nodded and used the System to scan her.

[Name: Wang Xi (Nickname: Red Rose!)]

[Age: 22]

[Height: 169cm]

[Weight: 48kg]

[Beauty: 89 (Out of 100)]

[Physique: 90 (Out of 100)]

[Background: Core member of the Qianmen Society!]

[Education: Vocational High School!]

[Hobbies: Conquering men!]

[Number of Relationships: 78 (Currently cheating...)]

[Favorability toward Host: 0 (Max 100!)]

[Conquest Reward: 999 pleasure points!]

Chu Xiao frowned. He had never heard of the Qianmen Society, but the name suggested an organization made up of gamblers, likely one that couldn't see the light of day.

Heh!

Interesting!

Chu Xiao continued to place bets calmly. In reality, he hadn't purchased the [Extraordinary Gambling] Golden Finger; his ability to keep winning relied entirely on the exploit of his X-ray Vision.

"Handsome, don't you find it boring just betting on Big or Small? Why don't we find a quiet place to play something else?"

Red Rose's voice was full of seductive magnetism. She believed no man in the world could refuse such a suggestive invitation.

However, Chu Xiao responded politely, "Sorry, I think betting on Big or Small is quite interesting."

Red Rose frowned, doubting her own ears. This young man had actually rejected her? Was her hint not obvious enough?

A trace of self-doubt arose in her heart. Was her voice not sweet enough, her figure not hot enough, or was she not showing enough cleavage?

How could she know that besides betting Big or Small, Chu Xiao had no confidence in any other games? Card games, roulette, slot machines—those were pure luck, which was as good as giving money away.

"Big Brother! I'm out of game coins!"

A childish voice rang out as Chu Lingyin's little head squeezed through the edge of the table, her dark eyes staring intently at the chips in front of Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed her little head and pushed most of his chips toward her, saying nonchalantly, "Take them and play! Come back to me if you lose them."

"Thank you, Big Brother~~ I knew you were the best to me!"

Chu Lingyin giggled and left with the chips. The surrounding crowd made way for her.

Good heavens!

That pile of chips was entirely composed of high denominations worth millions. From the look of it, there were probably seventy or eighty million.

Just given to a little girl to squander like that?

Holy crap!

Who on earth was this young man? His generosity was simply too extravagant.

What kind of family did he come from?

The surrounding gamblers were all trembling with shock. That many chips were enough for an ordinary person to live on for several lifetimes. They became even more curious about Chu Xiao's identity.

But Chu Xiao didn't care. He had no interest in money; he only came to this place to gamble and have fun for the sake of pleasure points.

Every time he won a bet and earned a large amount of chips, the surrounding gamblers would cast looks of extreme envy and jealousy, contributing a lot of pleasure points.

Doing the math...

Since Chu Xiao sat down to bet, he had already harvested over a thousand pleasure points.

This was much more than he got from driving a luxury car aimlessly around the streets.

Sure enough, finding the right method was important.

However, Chu Xiao soon noticed something was wrong. He checked his System back-end and saw that the pleasure points earned from the gamblers had been decreasing since the beginning.

What was going on?

Why were the pleasure points getting fewer and fewer?

System, are you being stingy?

[Ding!]

[pleasure points are obtained by converting various emotional values. The reason they are decreasing is that this batch of gamblers has already become numb!]

[If you want to obtain more pleasure points, you can earn them by stimulating the emotions of others!]

The System's notification sound faded.

Chu Xiao suddenly understood. He looked around and found that the surrounding gamblers were indeed quite numb; their eyes no longer held the initial envy and jealousy when looking at him.
