Chapter 56:
Ning Wenrou stared blankly at the mountain of chips in front of her, unable to believe her eyes.
Lin Chuan had turned fifty thousand into one million in an instant, multiplying his money twentyfold.
The sight of the chips pouring out like a waterfall had left her completely stunned.
She had casually picked a symbol, yet he had actually won.
Was making money really this easy?
At that moment, Chen Yu happened to walk over. Seeing the pile of chips in front of Lin Chuan, she blurted out, “You reckless spendthrift! Why did you buy so many chips? That must’ve cost over a million!”
She assumed Lin Chuan had purchased them.
Such extravagance—it was beyond reason!
Lin Chuan felt the need to correct her misunderstanding. “I won all of these.”
“Heh, do you think I’ll believe that? You expect me to believe you made this much money in just a few rounds?” Chen Yu scoffed, completely unconvinced.
But then, she noticed the stunned, envious, and jealous expressions of the people around them.
Wait…
Could these chips really all be his winnings?
“Did you buy more chips later?” she asked.
That was the only explanation she could think of.
Maybe Lin Chuan lost that initial one-thousand-yuan chip and then bought more.
If he had bought nine hundred thousand worth of chips and won back a hundred thousand, it would make sense.
But Lin Chuan shook his head. “Nope. I won all of this starting from one chip.”
He pulled out the original one-thousand-yuan chip and tossed it in the air.
Chen Yu blinked, stunned.
Then, after a long pause, she let out a shriek. “What did you say?! You made all this from just that one chip? You—you’re not joking, right?!”
Lin Chuan shrugged and gestured toward the crowd. “If you don’t believe me, ask them.”
Chen Yu turned to look at the onlookers.
Everyone nodded, confirming his claim.
“Yeah, it’s true! This guy started with just one chip, won eighty thousand, lost thirty thousand, and then hit the twentyfold multiplier to win over a million!”
“I’ve been playing slots for years, and I’ve never seen anyone win this much before.”
“This is crazy! From one thousand to one million—how many times did he multiply his money?”
“No need to calculate—it’s exactly one thousand times!”
“Damn, one thousand times?! That’s insane…”
Hearing these comments, Chen Yu was completely dumbfounded.
She had just lost her entire one hundred thousand worth of chips.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan had turned one thousand into one million.
Comparing yourself to others really was self-torture.
“I never thought… you were a gambling god?”
She examined Lin Chuan closely, as if she were seeing him for the first time.
“You still have a lot to learn about me,” Lin Chuan said, standing up.
Then, he flicked the one-thousand-yuan chip to the staff member.
“I told you—if I won, I’d tip you a thousand. Here, take it. It’s a lucky chip. Maybe it’ll bring you good fortune.”
Then, he turned to Ning Wenrou. “Take care of my chips. If even one goes missing, you’ll have to answer for it.”
With that, he casually wandered off, looking for his next target.
Meanwhile, in the casino manager’s office…
The casino manager, Yang Sanpao, was sitting on the couch, flirting with a sultry woman.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and a subordinate rushed in, looking flustered.
“Boss! We have an emergency—”
CRASH!
Yang Sanpao hurled an ashtray at him.
“Emergency my ass! How many times have I told you? Knock before entering my office!”
The subordinate scurried out, closed the door, and knocked properly this time.
“Come in!”
When he re-entered, Yang Sanpao was sitting upright, looking serious.
The seductive woman behind him also stood obediently, as if nothing had happened.
The subordinate blinked in confusion.
Had he just imagined the scene from a moment ago?
“What is it?” Yang Sanpao asked casually.
Casinos always had the same problems—
Either sore losers causing a scene, or cheaters getting caught.
Nothing new.
He picked up his tea and sipped leisurely.
The subordinate quickly reported, “Boss, a guy just won one million from a slot machine.”
“PFFT—!”
Yang Sanpao spat out his tea.
“HOW MUCH?! A million?! Are you sure you’re not mistaken?!”
The subordinate nodded frantically. “It’s true! He only exchanged one one-thousand-yuan chip. He played five rounds and won a million!”
Yang Sanpao slammed his cup onto the table.
“Where the hell were the slot machine staff?! They just let him win?! Didn’t they adjust the difficulty?!”
The subordinate stammered, “Boss, according to Xiao Liu, he followed the standard procedure—baiting for three rounds, then harvesting on the fourth.
“And that kid did lose on the fourth round… but then, on the fifth round, he hit twenty times the payout and won big!”
Before he could finish explaining, Yang Sanpao stormed out of the office and marched straight into the surveillance room.
The slot machine staff member was already there, pale-faced.
Seeing the boss enter, he broke out in a cold sweat.
“Boss! I swear, I adjusted the difficulty! I have no idea how he still won!”
Ignoring his excuses, Yang Sanpao stepped up to the monitors.
“Pull up the footage of that guy. Start from when he entered the casino.”
The staff hurriedly played back the surveillance video.
At first, everything looked normal.
Then, after winning three rounds in a row, Lin Chuan stood up—as if he was about to leave.
Yang Sanpao narrowed his eyes. “What happened there?”
The staff member quickly answered, “He said he’d won enough and wanted to leave. I tried persuading him, and he eventually stayed.”
Yang Sanpao kept watching.
From start to finish, Lin Chuan’s actions seemed completely ordinary.
There was no sign of cheating.
Still, something felt off.
“Rewind to when he stood up to leave. Slow it down—fifty times speed.”
The footage played in slow motion.
Yet nothing suspicious appeared.
Lin Chuan chatted with the staff member, then sat back down and continued playing.
Yang Sanpao frowned. “Are you sure you adjusted the difficulty?”
The staff member nodded rapidly. “Boss, I’ve been in the casino business for a while. Using that remote is simple—I wouldn’t have made a mistake.”
Yang Sanpao turned to a technician.
“Have you checked the remote control?”
The technician replied, “Yes, boss. No issues with the remote.
“Also, according to the system logs, after that guy won three rounds, the difficulty was raised to the highest level.
“But for some reason… after the fourth round, it was reset to the lowest level.
“That’s how he won big on the fifth round.”
Yang Sanpao stroked his chin.
Then, he suddenly locked eyes with the staff member.
“Be honest… Are you working with him?”
