I Transmigrated Into a Villain and All the Heroines in This Novel Have Systems?

Chapter 54:

“Yes, it’s my first time here,” Lin Chuan replied with a smile.

“Slot machines are quite simple to play, perfect for beginners. Would you like me to explain the rules?” The staff member asked politely.

“Sure.”

Even though Lin Chuan already knew the rules, he had to maintain the act of a clueless first-timer, so he didn’t refuse the offer.

The staff member immediately began explaining the gameplay.

At that moment, a player who had lost all his chips angrily slammed the slot machine before getting up and walking away.

Lin Chuan took the seat but still pretended to be clueless. “Where do I insert the token?”

The staff member pointed to the slot above. “Right here.”

Following the instruction, Lin Chuan inserted his only chip.

With a soft clang, the screen displayed “10 points.”

“What does that mean?” Lin Chuan continued playing dumb.

The staff member patiently explained, “You now have 10 points. After selecting a fruit symbol, you can bet up to 10 points…”

“Oh,” Lin Chuan nodded as if he only half understood. “Then I’ll pick… watermelon.”

He pressed the watermelon button and bet all 10 points.

“Start!”

As soon as he pressed the button, the spinning lights on the screen began flashing rapidly, illuminating and dimming various fruit symbols.

Standing behind him, Ning Wenrou was more nervous than Lin Chuan, staring intently at the screen.

The spinning slowed down gradually until it finally stopped on the watermelon symbol.

The multiplier display lit up, followed by an automated voice announcement: “10 times!”

Meanwhile, the points on the screen changed from “0” to “100.”

“I won!”

Lin Chuan shouted excitedly, instantly drawing the attention of many players around him.

Ning Wenrou cheered along with him. “Master, you won! You won so many points!”

The surrounding gamblers looked at Ning Wenrou with envy, especially after hearing her call Lin Chuan “Master.” Some even felt a little jealous.

“Tch, it’s just ten thousand yuan. Is it really worth making such a fuss?”

“Clearly a clueless newbie—probably never been to a casino before.”

“Heh, so what if he wins once? He’ll lose it all soon enough…”

Lin Chuan ignored their mocking remarks and pressed the “Cash Out” button.

A series of clinking sounds followed as tokens rained from the machine.

Beside him, Ning Wenrou’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

This money… was way too easy to earn!

But Lin Chuan knew this was all part of the casino’s plan.

To lure customers in, casinos often let first-time players win a few rounds, creating a false sense of success.

Once they get hooked, that’s when the real losses begin.

Most gamblers, after experiencing the thrill of easy money, find themselves unable to stop.

The more they bet, the more they lose.

And the more they lose, the more desperate they become to recover their losses.

At that point, they’d do anything—sell their homes, land, even their families—until they were utterly ruined.

These cases were far too common.

As a first-time visitor, Lin Chuan was still in the “baiting” phase of the casino’s strategy.

As he predicted, the next two rounds went exactly as expected.

For the second round, he bet two thousand yuan, won ten times the amount, and cashed out twenty thousand.

In the third round, he raised his bet to five thousand, hit another ten times, and cashed out fifty thousand.

Within moments, his initial one thousand yuan had ballooned into eighty thousand.

Ning Wenrou was beyond thrilled.

Staring at the growing pile of chips, she grabbed Lin Chuan’s arm excitedly. “Master, so much money! You’re amazing!”

Her admiration boosted Lin Chuan’s ego. He grinned proudly. “Of course! Do you even know who I am? I’m a future gambling god!”

Of course, he deliberately said that for the nearby staff member to hear.

Sure enough, when the staff member heard his arrogant claim, a barely noticeable smirk appeared on his lips.

Lin Chuan knew that now came the casino’s counterattack phase.

They wouldn’t let him keep winning.

At that moment, he keenly noticed the staff member discreetly slipping a hand into his pocket—most likely adjusting the machine’s difficulty settings.

Lin Chuan smirked. Without hesitation, he stood up. “Let’s go home. I’m done playing.”

Ning Wenrou clapped happily. “Yay! Let’s go home!”

She was easily satisfied.

Winning eighty thousand from just one thousand was already an enormous amount in her eyes. There was no need to keep gambling.

The staff member, however, panicked upon seeing them leave.

This guy wasn’t following the script!

After three straight wins, he should be hooked—so why was he leaving?

“Sir, are you sure you don’t want to keep playing?” The staff member quickly stepped forward to block Lin Chuan. “Your luck is incredible. It would be a shame to stop now.”

Lin Chuan flashed an innocent smile. “Contentment brings happiness. I’ve already won plenty—I’m satisfied.”

Saying that, he grabbed Ning Wenrou’s soft little hand and turned to leave.

The staff member quickly stepped in front of them again. “Sir, if you don’t enjoy slot machines, how about trying something else? We have many other exciting games.”

“No thanks,” Lin Chuan shook his head. “The other games are too complicated—I don’t know how to play.”

After saying that, he tried to leave a third time.

“Stop!”

The staff member blocked them once again, his expression turning unpleasant.

Lin Chuan’s face darkened as well. “What’s the meaning of this? Are you forcing me to play?”

He intentionally raised his voice, drawing the attention of many gamblers nearby.

The staff member’s face stiffened before forcing a smile again. “Of course not! Our casino always allows guests to come and go freely. We would never force anyone to play. I was just thinking, with your luck, it would be a huge loss not to continue.”

Lin Chuan pretended to hesitate. “You make a good point. I couldn’t earn eighty thousand in a whole year of work, but I made that much here in minutes. Maybe I should keep going?”

The staff member, thinking he had convinced him, eagerly nodded. “Exactly! If you rely on a regular job, you’ll never achieve financial freedom. But with your luck, you might just win enough for a lifetime tonight!”

His words were highly persuasive.

If Lin Chuan were truly a clueless gambler, he might have fallen for it.

Lin Chuan nodded seriously. “You’re right. If I do achieve financial freedom tonight, I’ll tip you ten thousand yuan.”

“Haha, then I’ll thank you in advance!”

The staff member’s words were polite, but deep inside, he was sneering.

Financial freedom in a casino?

Dream on.

Tonight, they’d strip him clean.
