Chapter 7: Spirits Soaring (1)

  A female waitress came over and took a look at the machine, pulled out the member's magnetic card and took the middle-aged man with an excited face to the counter to make change.

  "What luck, I only had 10 bucks left and I bet it all on the big seven, and he actually hit it!" A man next to him who was also playing slots chose to bet a dollar on the big seven, seemingly trying to rub off some good fortune.

  "Ah! I also got a big seven! Damn it!" The man pressed the start button, and the flashing cursor landed on the big seven again.

  A burst of clinking coins, a hundred one-yuan coins were withdrawn from the slot machine. The man saw his good fortune and collected the coins to exchange for banknotes at the counter.

  "Big brother, give me a coin." Several students wearing school uniforms immediately surrounded the winning man. The man immediately took out several coins and threw them to the students. The students immediately put the coins into the slot machine and lost everything in an instant.

  Haha! It's not that easy for you to win, if everyone wins, this boss will go bankrupt! Lu Xiaoqian sneered in his heart. This kind of slot machine has a chaotic mathematical formula and a certain return rate, relying solely on luck, the winning rate is lower than being struck by lightning in one's lifetime. (Indeed, stay away from gambling.)

  At this time, a young man wearing Armani with an arrogant face walked into the entrance of the hall, followed by two men who looked like bodyguards.

  "Hey! Isn't this Young Master Lei? Please come in quickly!" A bald-headed man, who looked like a security guard, stood up from the sofa where he was resting and said respectfully to a man wearing a famous brand.

  "Hey, Baldy! Are there any available seats?" The young man who was called Le Dashi seemed to know Baldy.

  "Yes, someone just hit a big seven in a row! Right over here!" The bald man nodded and bowed as he led Lei Da Shao towards Lu Xiao Qian.

  "Brother Qian, Brother Qian!" Lei Da Shao's eyes landed on Lu Xiaoqian, his face showing some surprise.

  Lu Xiaoqian had already seen this young man called Lei Da Shaoye, who was also a rich second-generation from Gusu. His family's business was doing well, but compared to Lu Xiaoqian and his friends, Lei Da Shaoye could only be considered as a follower. "Ah, Lei Zi, you're here to play?"

  "Ah, yeah, recently Brother Qian, you've been making a big fuss about something and my old man won't let me play with the big boys, so I can only come here to have some fun. " Lei Da Shao saw Lu Xiao Qian alone and asked strangely: "Brother Qian, why aren't you playing? Did you...?" The implication of Lei Da Shao's words was clear: did this good-for-nothing son lose all his money again?

  Lu Xiaoqian smiled and took out a coin, saying: "It's just one yuan, you play."

  Lei Dashao himself was not familiar with Lu Xiaotian, and when he saw Lu Xiaotian, he thought he had made money from somewhere to gamble again. Unexpectedly, he really only had one dollar left. Since he had no money, he wasn't a person of the same world anymore. Without another word, he immediately sat down in front of the slot machine.

  A bodyguard behind him pulled out a card similar to a debit card from his pocket and inserted it into the slot of the slot machine. The slot machine immediately displayed a number with many zeros, and the onlookers around whispered in shock. Those who have this kind of card are all VIP users, with at least 180,000 yuan inside. These people come here to gamble big, and can't be compared to those small-time gamblers. Lu Xiaoqian counted and found that he had 1 million points, which is equivalent to 1 million RMB! This is an arcade, not a casino. (I've seen many cases of people losing tens of thousands of yuan in this game hall, some even committing suicide on the spot after losing money... Okay, let's just play another round on the simulator.)

  The crowd's exclamation immediately attracted many gamblers, and in no time, the gambling machine next to Lu Xiaoqian was surrounded by three layers of people inside and out, with the number of people constantly increasing. Whenever there are big gamblers like this, there are always many good things for people to watch, and if they win, as long as you open your mouth, you can't let you leave empty-handed.

  This slot machine has a total of nine fruit patterns and a big seven pattern, with corresponding buttons below each pattern. Each press is one cent, and you can choose to double, triple or quintuple the bet, or even higher multiples. Different fruits have different winning multiples, ranging from 1x to 7.5x.

  Each time the prize wheel pointer stops, it will only land on one pattern, so no matter how many patterns you press, only one can be won.

  Lei Dashao seemed to want to show off in front of Lu Xiaotian, and as soon as he came up, he had his bodyguard press 100 yuan on the lychee and Big Seven. Under the eager gaze of the crowd, the marker landed on the banana, but Lei Dashao didn't mind this small amount of money and continued to let his bodyguard press hard, almost every time pressing 100 times more than Big Seven.

  Lu Xiaoqian didn't take his eyes off the slot machine from the moment Lei Dashao started playing the first round, constantly recalling Lei Dashao's winning records. After Lei Dashao's thirty-seventh spin, he finally hit a big seven, and with a base of 1,000 yuan, he won 100 times that amount, which was 100,000 yuan! The bald-headed onlooker also looked a bit embarrassed at the sight.

  "Boss, give me a few coins!" Several young students immediately surrounded Lei Da Shao.

  Lei Da Shao rarely showed his might in front of Lu Xiao Qian, and immediately ordered the bodyguard: "Go exchange 200 game coins for me, give 10 to each person!"

  Lei Da Shao's reward of a few hundred yuan is still not enough for some people, after all, winning 100,000 and only getting a reward of 200 yuan is a bit of a loss. The ones who actually go to Lei Da Shao's bodyguard agency to collect the prize money are basically just students and small-time thugs.

  Lei Dashao had been observing Lu Xiaoqian all along, but seeing that Lu Xiaoqian didn't go to the bodyguard to collect his winnings, a hint of disdain flashed across his face. "Xiaoqian, you only have one chip left, right? Go to Ah Fu's place and get ten more, I'll win again later and give them to you."

  The people around only then discovered that Lu Xiaoqian was actually friends with Lei Dashao, but since they were friends, giving him ten coins made it sound somewhat uncomfortable. Lu Xiaoqian naturally heard the mocking tone in Lei Dashao's voice, intentionally humiliating him for not participating and just watching. Feeling a bit annoyed, it seemed Lei Dashao didn't know about Zhang Xiaoliang's situation.

  "You play first, I'll win back the money you lose." Lu Xiaoqian's words stunned the onlookers, and Lei Dashao's two bodyguards also cast a cold glance at him.

  "Lu Xiaoqian! What did you say?" Lei Dashi gave Lu Xiaoqian a cold glance.

  Lu Xiaoqian calmly said: "Do I need to repeat myself?"

  Lei Da Shao burst out laughing and said: "Lu Xiao Qian, what are you now? You dare to speak to me like this?" After finishing his sentence, he waved his hand, indicating that the two bodyguards were about to take action.

  "Lei Da Shao, with a spirited and vigorous appearance, is indeed Zhou Dong's." The bald-headed man said to Lei Da Shao with some warning tone.

  "Stop!" Lei Da Shao heard two words from Zhou Dong and quickly stopped the two bodyguards who were about to take action.

  "Hmph! You want to win with just one dollar?!" Lei Da Shao's expression turned somewhat chilly. Lu Xiaoqian had humiliated him in front of so many people, and if he hadn't been a bit wary of that person called Zhou Dong, he would have had his bodyguards beat Lu Xiaoqian to a pulp long ago.

  Lu Xiaoqian saw Lei Dashao stop the bodyguards who were about to take action when they heard the two words "Zhou Dong". He felt a bit depressed in his heart. For those who wanted to humiliate him, Lu Xiaoqian always wanted to find an opportunity to educate them. Although he didn't fight back, Lu Xiaoqian was not in a hurry. Earlier, he had memorized the winning rates of Lei Dashao and others at a glance, and had almost deduced the Chaos Math Formula. If his deduction was successful, then a 100% winning rate would no longer be a myth.
