25: Chapter 25, A lavish expenditure! All for a smile from a beauty!

Vienna Casino.

Surveillance Room.

"Brother Long, that Chu Xiao is back! He beat up our men last time; today, we must make him lose until he doesn't even have his underwear left!"

Someone said while looking at the surveillance footage.

Nearby, Long Aotian was flirting with two women. Upon hearing this, he immediately narrowed his eyes, a gloomy look flashing through them as he said, "Hehe! No! Let him keep winning today! I want him to fall completely in love with gambling! To be unable to extricate himself! Only then can we squeeze even more value out of him!"

"Brother Long! He beat up our men! Are we just going to let him go like this?"

"What do you know? A gentleman who cannot endure small setbacks will ruin great plans! He beat up our brothers, so of course we can't just let it go! It's just not the time yet!"

"Alright! Brother Long! We'll do as you say!"

Half an hour later.

Inside the surveillance room.

Someone said with a slight tremble in their voice, "Brother Long, that Chu Xiao has already won 300 million! And he keeps increasing his bets! He goes all-in every single time! If this continues, I'm afraid our cash flow won't be enough to keep things running!"

Long Aotian climbed off the women. He stared at Chu Xiao, who was continuously winning money on the screen, and frowned. "How is that possible? It's only been half an hour! Has he been winning the whole time?"

The man swallowed hard. "I've been watching him the whole time. From the very first round, he hasn't placed a single wrong bet! He's won every hand! The surrounding gamblers are going crazy! What should we do?"

Long Aotian crossed his arms, narrowing his cold eyes as he said gloomily, "We can't let him play this anymore! Make the machine malfunction! Force him to play something else!"

"Alright! Brother Long!"

Inside the casino hall.

It was incredibly lively. Everyone had gone mad, following Chu Xiao's bets and winning until their pockets were overflowing.

Pei Yimo said with a smile, "See! I wasn't wrong, was I? Chu Xiao's luck is exceptionally good! He keeps winning!"

Li Qingxue stared at the table in utter shock. Her brain was practically short-circuiting; she couldn't understand what was happening. How could someone win every single bet?

What kind of insane luck is this!

Ye Fan snorted coldly in his heart. He had been playing the role of a background character the entire time. To avoid making Li Qingxue dislike him, he hadn't participated in the gambling at all, simply watching Chu Xiao win over and over.

From a starting capital of ten thousand yuan, he had won nearly 300 million in just half an hour!

So much money!

It was simply an astronomical figure!

Chu Xiao was already numb from winning. He didn't have much interest in money, but he was raking in pleasure points like crazy!

This time, not only did he have the goddess buff from Pei Yimo, but he also had Ye Fan, that attention-seeking clown, constantly providing pleasure points nearby.

You have to remember, Ye Fan is a Child of Fortune!

Every time a bet was won, Ye Fan would provide anywhere from dozens to hundreds of pleasure points. In just half an hour, he had provided Chu Xiao with over 2,000 pleasure points.

It made Chu Xiao feel almost bad about making a move to kill him!

In Chu Xiao's eyes, Ye Fan was like a rooster that laid golden eggs. Not only was he a Child of Fortune, but he was also a petty, jealous, and resentful scapegoat.

System!

How about we negotiate?

Don't kill Ye Fan!

I can't bear to let him go!

Chu Xiao amused himself internally, knowing that the System would never take back a mission.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Suddenly, bursts of smoke rose from the gambling table, causing the people around to cry out in alarm.

"Sorry, everyone! This machine has malfunctioned! It won't be fixed anytime soon!"

"How about you all go play something else instead?"

"We have many different games here!"

A waiter in a black vest came running over, bowing repeatedly to the crowd with a subservient attitude.

The surrounding gamblers began to curse!

They were in high spirits, their wallets bulging with winnings. Hearing that the machine was broken now made them very angry.

"Damn! If you at Vienna can't afford to play, then don't open for business!"

"Exactly! I just started winning a bit, and the machine breaks? What a coincidence! It didn't break earlier or later, it just had to break right when I'm winning money!"

"Damn it! Great Wealth God Chu, say something! Isn't this clearly bullying people?"

The people around shouted.

Chu Xiao stroked his chin without speaking, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He knew better than anyone whether the machine was broken; under the power of his X-ray Vision, everything was clear.

This machine wasn't broken at all!

However, he couldn't really say anything!

After all, this was someone else's casino. He had won so much money and kept winning; anyone would get anxious. Making the machine smoke on purpose was already a polite way to discourage him.

Chu Xiao shook his head with a smile and split the chips in front of him in two. He pushed more than half of them toward Pei Yimo and said, "Take them! Like we agreed, half each!"

Pei Yimo's mouth fell open, her star-like eyes sparkling. She said blankly, "You're giving them all to me? You're not joking? There's 150 million here!"

150 million!

For a wealthy young lady like her, that was still a massive sum of money.

Chu Xiao nodded. "We agreed on half each! Why would I lie to you? Do you want it? If not, I'm taking it back!"

Hearing this, Pei Yimo quickly lunged onto the chips, a blissful smile on her face. "I want it, I want it! Why wouldn't I? Chu Xiao, you're so good to me! I love you to death! Mwah!"

[Ding!]

[Pei Yimo's favorability toward you has increased by 15 points!]

[Current Favorability: 100 (Max 100!)]

[Congratulations, Host, for completing the Goddess conquest. Rewarding 9,999 pleasure points!]

The System's voice echoed in his mind.

Hiss!

The conquest is already complete?

Chu Xiao was instantly ecstatic.

[Ding!]

[Ye Fan feels envy, jealousy, and hatred toward you. pleasure points increased by 800!]

[Ding!]

[Gamblers feel envy, jealousy, and hatred toward you...]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

...

A series of System notification sounds followed.

"Holy crap! 150 million given to a woman without even blinking! He's a total god-tier tycoon! I wish I were a girl!"

"Is this what it means to squander a fortune just to win a beauty's smile? I'm so jealous!"

"My god, I'm lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a god-tier tycoon's world! Only today do I realize that I'm the frog at the bottom of the well!!"

"Wealth God Chu! Do you still need a dog by your side? I'm a super-tier bootlicker!"

The surrounding gamblers spoke up one after another.

At the same time, almost all the women present were incredibly envious of Pei Yimo. They wished they were the female companion by Chu Xiao's side.

Unfortunately, they couldn't even compare to Pei Yimo's toes.

Of all the women present, only Li Qingxue was qualified to stand alongside Pei Yimo and compete with her. They were like two gorgeous, ethereal celestial flowers, making all the other women unable to hold their heads up.

Clap, clap, clap!

Not far away, the sound of clapping rang out.

A handsome man in a sharp suit walked over. With a smile on his face, he said, "Young Master Chu is truly generous! Squandering a fortune just to win a beauty's smile! I am truly impressed!"

This man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with sharp features and a robust build. His soul-stirring eyes carried an innate aura of pressure, making people instinctively feel that he was extraordinary.

He also wore a thick gold chain around his neck, which made him look somewhat arrogant.

Chu Xiao turned his head to look.

Instantly, the System notification sounded in his mind!

[Ding!]

[Child of Fortune discovered!]
