101: Chapter 0101 One Hour

After hearing this, Li Size pondered for a moment.

He knew that his status as a VIP only allowed him to bring one companion up to the sixth floor.

Originally, he was worried that Gelia might feel uncomfortable, and he planned to spend some more time getting a VIP card for Gelia.

Now that Gelia proposed relaxing in the gambling area downstairs, it conveniently saved him a lot of time.

Li Size secretly found it amusing, not expecting his bureau chief wife to actually possess the potential of a gambler.

Concerned that an overly excited Gelia might lose too much money, Li Size quietly explained some common gambling game rules and techniques to her.

However, looking at Gelia's shining eyes and eager expression, he wasn't sure how much of the content she actually absorbed.

Felina, standing nearby, saw this scene and also worried that Gelia might lose control due to being too excited. Thus, she proactively volunteered to Li Size:

"dear, I will stay behind to accompany Gelia. I will teach her all the techniques you just mentioned."

Li Size raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised that the relationship between Gelia and Felina had become so good.

A thought suddenly struck him; perhaps in the near future, the dream of a true threesome could be realized.

He nodded, leaving the two girls downstairs, and proceeded alone to the VIP area to look for Fei Li...

Li Size possessed an extremely high Mental Energy attribute, which greatly enhanced his memory.

Even people he had only met once, he could remember them perfectly clearly.

As he surveyed the VIP area, he noticed that most of the Faces seemed to be the familiar ones from last time, with Fei Li prominently among them.

However, some previously familiar Faces were now gone, and at the same time, there were a few new Faces he had no impression of at all.

Li Size was very clear in his heart that the owners corresponding to those vanished Faces probably would never have the chance to 'stand up' again.

This was the fate of gamblers; as long as they couldn't quit the bad habit of gambling, they were ultimately destined for a path leading to destruction.

At this moment, Li Size gently patted Fei Li's shoulder and spoke up:

"Hey! Friend Fei Li, I have something I need to ask you about. Do you have any free time right now?"

Fei Li was excitedly and nervously waiting for the next card to be dealt, but being so suddenly interrupted by Li Size instantly ignited a surge of anger in his heart.

He turned around, originally intending to curse out the person who interrupted him.

But when he clearly saw that it was Li Size, the Wizard who had taught him card skills, he forcefully swallowed the curse words that had reached his lips, and quickly responded:

"Oh, it's Wizard Li Size! My friend... please wait for me a moment!"

Just as Fei Li remembered that the next card was about to be revealed, he immediately stopped talking and turned his gaze back to the card table.

The new card dealt made him extremely excited—it was actually a Three-Ring Sorcery Card!

Li Size saw the other three cards Fei Li already held, and they were all Three-Ring Sorcery Cards as well, specifically of the Earth, Water, and Fire elements.

Adding this newly received Wind-element Three-Ring Card, this directly completed the four major elements, forming the so-called 'Bomb' hand pattern.

With this, Fei Li's hand instantly advanced from the mediocre middle-tier level it was before to a top-tier hand that guaranteed victory.

Fei Li secretly thought that Li Size truly was his lucky star.

Not only did he generously impart those precious card skills to him, but this time, just by coming to find him, he brought such good luck, allowing him to get a 'Bomb' hand.

Fei Li struggled to suppress the excitement surging within him, and following the techniques Li Size had previously guided, he held his breath and concentrated his spirit.

He did not choose to raise the bet, but instead continued to maintain the previous chip amount, attempting to lure more opponents into the trap.

However, he turned around and said excitedly to Li Size:

"Haha! My dearest friend, it's wonderful that you came to find me at this moment!

Oh, please give me a little time, half an hour maybe, no, an hour would be better!

Shall we have a good chat together after one hour?"

However, the barely concealed joy in his words still revealed some clues.

Four or five experienced regulars across the table exchanged subtle glances. They all sensed that something was amiss, so they all chose to forfeit this round...

Although he didn't hook those old foxes this round, it was clear that Fei Li was still very excited and pleased. Li Size surmised that it certainly wasn't because of his arrival.

If a gambler is happy, there can only be one reason: they won money!

As for the specific reason leading to the victory?

Perhaps the card skills he previously taught him finally took effect, or maybe his recent luck was exceptionally good; of course, it could also be a combination of both.

One must know that a gambler deep in a game cannot be reasoned with.

The fact that Fei Li agreed to settle and end this round of cards after one hour was already showing him considerable Face. Therefore, Li Size could only wait patiently for now.

The hour passed quickly, although Fei Li looked very reluctant.

In his heart, he felt that with such good luck combined with superb skill today, if he continued gambling, he would surely dominate the card table.

But Fei Li was still a person who valued credit. Since he had promised Li Size to end the game in an hour, he chose to honor his commitment and concluded the gambling session after sixty minutes.

Those who could become a Wizard Apprentice among the masses could certainly not be completely useless individuals.

From this perspective, perhaps this Fei Li still had merits and possessed the potential for salvation.

"Ha! dear Li Size, did you come this time to share your exclusive card skills with me again?"

Fei Li in the lounge looked to be in a great mood. As he spoke, he happily poured Li Size a glass of fruit drink.

Li Size took the drink and took a small sip. The drink was sweet and sour, not quite his preferred taste.

He remembered that Felina seemed to like this flavor, whereas he preferred lightly sweet beverages.

However, he still spoke appropriately:

"Card skills? Not this time.

My return to Wojin City this time is for another matter where I need your help; mainly, I need you to help me gather some information."

When Fei Li heard this, his Face showed a clearly disbelieving expression. He thought to himself that Li Size definitely didn't want to impart his secret techniques to him.

However, he didn't dwell on the matter of card skills and instead followed Li Size's lead, asking curiously:

"Oh? What information is it?"
