Chapter 41: Making Two Million in Three Minutes

"Huh? Aren't you from the sales center? What are you doing here?"

Xu Yi was somewhat surprised, his attention immediately drawn to Yang Tingting's long, slender legs. They were incredibly fair!

Yang Tingting was wearing a tight, black bunny girl uniform, red high heels, and a pair of red bunny ears on her head, looking both charming and playful.

Hearing Xu Yi's words, Yang Tingting quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Shh! I'm filling in for a friend; I heard the tips are high here! You must not tell Manager Chen."

Xu Yi chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm not a blabbermouth."

Yang Tingting's mind raced. Seeing that Xu Yi was alone—with no sign of the part-time student from the sales center—she realized her chance had arrived. Her eyes lit up.

"Brother Xu! Are you here alone? This must be fate! Why don't you let me keep you company today?" Yang Tingting smiled and naturally linked her arm with his.

Xu Yi instinctively wanted to refuse, but he looked around the casino and saw almost every man accompanied by a beautiful woman. He thought to himself: *If I want to show off and make a statement today, the more beautiful the woman on my arm, the more attention I'll attract.*

With that, Xu Yi reached out and wrapped his arm around Yang Tingting's waist. It was slender and soft—simply wonderful.

Far from being offended, Yang Tingting was ecstatic. "Hehe! Brother Xu, let me take you to exchange your chips!"

*Haha! No meddlesome part-time student to ruin things today; I am definitely going to land this high-potential guy! Wait... actually, I'm the one who's part-time...*

At the chip exchange counter, Xu Yi only exchanged 500,000 in chips. This amount had been agreed upon by Xu Yi, Huang Dabao, and Zhang Fengzi. The goal was to keep Xu Yi's background simple. If Luo Hao wanted to recruit him, he would surely investigate, and it would be easy to uncover that Xu Yi had recently won about 600,000 from a scratch-off lottery ticket.

After exchanging the chips, Xu Yi pulled out a yellow chip worth 10,000 and slipped it into Yang Tingting's hand. Her eyes brightened instantly.

Xu Yi said indifferently, "Miss Tingting, this ten thousand is your first tip of the night. There are some things that can be said and some that are better left unsaid. If you understand that, there will be a second tip. Got it?"

Yang Tingting wouldn't dream of disagreeing. Men, when they're out, just want to be given plenty of face. She beamed, "Don't worry, Brother Xu! I understand!"

Xu Yi nodded, satisfied, and looked around. What should he play? With his X-ray vision, he could play almost any card game, but the simplest and fastest way was to bet on dice. He led Yang Tingting to the dice tables and sat down at an empty one.

The dealer was another beautiful woman, though unlike Yang Tingting, she wore a suit and gloves, looking quite professional. Seeing Xu Yi sit down, she smiled slightly, "Sir, if you are ready to place your bet, shall I begin?"

"Start," Xu Yi said calmly.

"Very well." She smiled charmingly and shook the dice cup. Three seconds later, she slammed it down. "Sir, please place your bets!"

Using his X-ray vision, Xu Yi saw the dice: 4, 5, 6—Big! He pushed all 490,000 of his chips onto the "Big" section.

The dealer: ??
Yang Tingting: ??

The dealer’s smile froze, and she forced herself to say, "Sir, are you sure you want to wager all your chips?"

"Why? Is it not allowed?" Xu Yi asked.

"It's not that," the dealer said awkwardly, "it's just that we rarely see guests bet like that."

"Then open it," Xu Yi said, tapping the table.

The dealer nodded, took a deep breath, and lifted the cup. It was indeed a 4, 5, 6—Big!

"You won! Oh my god! Brother Xu, you're amazing!" Yang Tingting shook Xu Yi's arm excitedly, her chest pressing firmly against him.

"Hehe," Xu Yi laughed, "I guess I'm just lucky today."

"Congratulations, sir," the dealer said, pushing the corresponding chips toward him.

Xu Yi picked up another 10,000-value yellow chip and gave it to Yang Tingting. "Here, sharing is caring. This is your second tip."

"Thank you, Brother Yi!" she chirped sweetly.

"Sir, shall we continue?" the dealer asked.

"Continue."

The dealer took a deep breath and began shaking again. This time, she shook for a long time before slamming the cup down. Xu Yi used his X-ray vision and thought: *Oh, she’s got some skill. This beauty actually rolled a triple.*

Xu Yi smiled and pushed his 970,000 in chips onto the "Triple" spot. He turned to Yang Tingting and said, "If you want to make money, you can follow my lead."

Yang Tingting’s eyes lit up, but she hesitated. The two chips Xu Yi had given her were worth 20,000, more than a month's salary. If she won, it would be great, but if she lost, it would be a waste.

After much hesitation, Yang Tingting shook her head. "No, Brother Yi! My luck with gambling is terrible; I don't want to ruin your streak."

Xu Yi didn't force her. He looked at the dealer and said, "Open it."

The dealer's expression was grim now. She tried to smile, but it looked worse than crying. Nobody knew that she had intentionally rolled a "Triple." Following professional conduct, she lifted the cup.

4, 4, 4—Triple!

"You won! You won again! Brother Xu, you're a genius!" Yang Tingting screamed, nearly throwing herself at him. She couldn't help it—it hadn't even been three minutes, and 500,000 had turned into nearly 2,000,000! She was delirious, and at the same time, she was kicking herself for not betting those two chips.

The commotion Xu Yi created was significant, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. Curious gamblers rushed over, and upon hearing that he had made nearly two million in just two "all-in" bets, they gathered around in a dense circle.

The dealer was nearly in tears as she pushed the 1.94 million in chips toward Xu Yi. She forced a strained smile. "I'm sorry, sir, I’m feeling a bit unwell. We will be swapping in a new dealer; please wait a moment." She left the table, whispering frantically into her headset.

A gambler nearby shook his head. "The kid is pushing his luck. I don't know if he has great hearing or just great luck, but he could have played it slow. Going all-in twice like that, the casino is definitely sending in a pro."

Another gambler agreed. "A pity. I wanted to follow his lead, but now that they're swapping in a master, even if the kid has amazing hearing, it won't matter."

The murmurs of the crowd cooled Yang Tingting down. She wanted to tell Xu Yi to quit while he was ahead, but remembering his warning earlier, she kept her mouth shut.

Just then, a new dealer arrived. He was a sturdy, muscular middle-aged man with arms thicker than Xu Yi's thighs; his shirt looked like a second skin.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir. I am A-Jie. I will be taking over as the dealer. Is that acceptable?"

A-Jie's voice was a low, steady bass. Though quiet, everyone heard him clearly.

Someone gasped, "What? Even A-Jie, the King of Dice, is here? Rumor has it that with him dealing, even the sharpest gamblers can't hear the dice. His technique is godly."

Another mocked, "The kid just had a lucky streak. With A-Jie here, let's see if he dares to go all-in again! If he does, I'll eat my own chips!"

In an instant, all eyes were fixed on Xu Yi.
