Chapter 93: The Great Explosion of Human Character
Guo Ming fiddled with the ten chips in his hand and tilted his head, "Which game makes money the fastest?"
"What's the fastest way to make money? Mingming was taken aback, then said that if you want to talk about making money quickly, of course it's roulette, but the possibility of losing is also the greatest."
Kuo Ming directly skipped her second sentence and said, "Then let's go play roulette."
The wheel is a multi-player game with 64 small balls, numbered from 1 to 64. There are two ways to play: one is direct selection, which means directly betting on numbers, but the probability of winning is too low and few people bet on numbers in this way. However, the payout for direct selection is also the highest, with a 32-fold return if you win. The second way is to bet on odd or even numbers, which has a 50% chance of winning, but the casino takes a 10% commission each time.
Guo Ming listened to Mingming's introduction and didn't immediately take action, just quietly watching like that.
The lottery official was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was seen holding a staff in one hand and shouting loudly: "Hurry up and place your bets, it's about to open soon! Come on, don't miss this opportunity! Speed, speed!"
Surrounded by many people, carefully weighing whether to press odd or even numbers, of course there are also those who want to rush in big multiples.
As the croupier's hand moved, the sixty-four small balls began to roll from top to bottom. Everyone else was watching the ball, but Guo Ming stared at the croupier's movements, his expression very serious, while the people below were frantically shouting.
"Odd number, odd number."
"Even number, even number."
"Number thirty-two, number thirty-two."
All sorts of voices shouted wildly, and soon a small ball fell to the ground with the number three. Guo Ming carefully observed the expressions of the crowd, and indeed, more people with even numbers were disappointed, while those who chose odd numbers did not have a single one in their midst.
Haha, as expected, it's interesting. After three rounds, Guo Ming understood everything. There must be a trick in this, and the dealer is always manipulating things. In any case, the casino is the one that makes money, and they make more of it.
Although he saw Guo Ming only looking and not pressing down, he also had some itchiness in his heart, and softly said: "Young master, why aren't you pressing down?"
"Uh, then just call me by my name, I'm not used to being called 'young master', said Guo Ming shaking his head."
"When is next time?"
Mingming's gaze softened as he looked at Guo Ming, and he smiled upon hearing the words: "You wouldn't think of directly forcing a win, would you? The probability of winning is too low that way."
"Don't say that, one sixty-fourth is already a big probability. Tell me, what's your lucky number?" Guo Ming held out his hand to stop her from continuing, saying "Enough."
Seeing Guo Ming make up his mind, Mingming had no choice but to say, "My lucky number is five."
"Alright, then I'll bet five. Guo Ming directly took five chips and placed them on the number five, instantly causing a wave of gasps. Here, it's not that no one has ever made a single bet, but it's rare to see someone like Guo Ming make such a large bet all at once."
Mingming was also startled and just wanted to open his mouth to persuade him. Thinking of his own identity, he immediately let go of the hand placed on Guo Ming's hand.
Guo Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he turned back with a faint smile.
His excited heart calmed down instantly, as if Guo Ming's smile had a soothing effect on his mind.
That customs officer also smiled slightly, but the disdain in his eyes couldn't escape Guo Ming's notice. He said loudly, "Everyone hurry up and place your bets, hurry up and bet, it's about to open soon."
After others have finished betting, the croupier pulls a lever and sixty-four small balls start rolling down, with people around starting to shout wildly.
She was also staring at the small ball that kept falling, after all, she had been working here for several years and knew some of the tricks of the trade in the casino. People like Guo Ming who bet alone rarely won, the casino only let people win occasionally for promotional purposes, but those people were mostly insiders.
It's likely that Guo Ming won't win, but she still hopes he does, as it would be beneficial for her too. If the guests lose too much, how can they be expected to give big tips?
The little ball number six stopped first, and with a gurgling sound was about to fall from the small hole, when another little ball rushed over, which was number seven. Number seven went back and forth several times, and it seemed that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be the one to fall down. The lottery official's mouth curled up into a confident smile, as six was indeed the number he had changed.
When the No. 7 ball was about to come down, it didn't expect that another small ball would rush up from behind and hit the No. 7 ball flying, and it fell straight down due to a sudden drop in speed. The people around suddenly let out a burst of booing.
The referee was stunned, staring blankly at the little ball falling down from No. 5. What's going on? Is it because he's getting old?
Akane grew up and said after a while: "It's number five."
Guo Ming smiled and nodded, saying: "Go get our reward!"
Mingming nodded happily and took a plate from the counter with 160 blue chips on it, handing it to Guo Ming.
Guo Ming hehe smiled and said: "Your lucky number is five, then I'll give you five as a gift, sister!"
After finishing speaking, he directly handed over the remaining five in his hand to Mingming's hand.
It's really surprising, someone as generous as Guo Ming is rarely seen. Suddenly taking out 50,000 yuan, only people in the VIP area would have such a big hand.
She stared blankly at the five blue chips, her gaze towards Guo Ming filled with gratitude and a hint of curiosity. Who exactly was this mysterious young man? Young and wealthy, yet not even a bit spoiled like the rich kids from affluent families.
"Hey sister, let's go have some fun somewhere else?"
It was clear that there was no objection. Just as the two were about to leave, the official on stage couldn't help but say: "Is this young master's courage so small that he won't play another round?"
Although he didn't know what had just happened, with his many years of experience, he always felt that there was something fishy about the other person. Having lost so much money all at once, he couldn't help but feel a bit resentful, and so he opened his mouth to make a sarcastic remark.
Guo Ming originally meant to stop while he was ahead and didn't want to make things difficult for the other person, but since the other person provoked him like this, Guo Ming no longer felt the need to give them any face.
Pushing through the crowd, Guo Ming held onto Mingming with one hand and grasped his chips with the other, smiling as he said: "Since you've said that, I'll play another round. Let's see if my luck will explode again today!"
"Alright, I'll see if you have what it takes?" The official sneered with a smile on his face. Although he was smiling, his eyes were icy cold. Kid, no matter what, last time I underestimated you, but this time I will definitely make you lose.
Guo Ming put all the chips on the tray in position 5 and smiled, "I'm going all-in on number 5."
The whole audience was shocked, no one had expected Guo Ming to have such a big hand, that's 1.6 million, just like that, directly crushing, determining the outcome! This is too crazy, right? They didn't think Guo Ming would win, last time it might be a matter of luck, but if he wins again, it's absolutely impossible. According to probability, 64 times 64, what a huge probability.
The customs officer was also startled, he didn't expect Guo Ming to be so crazy. If he won, it would be 51.2 million yuan at once, such a large odds is not something he can control.
Guo Ming felt a tug on his right arm, turned around to see worried eyes, and smiled softly, "Life is just a gamble, but if I lose, I might have to borrow money from you, sister."
Just then he slightly loosened his grip on Guo Ming's arm and nodded: "This is indeed your brother's money."
"Mistake, it's yours, I'm just borrowing. But since your lucky number is five, sister, the goddess of luck will always be with me, won't she?"
"Ah, yeah!" he said with a forced calm tone. But in his heart, he couldn't help but think, "You foolish kid, this time they will absolutely not let you win any money, you're doomed to lose everything." He let out a soft sigh.
This time is undoubtedly more crazy than last time, almost everyone's attention is focused on Guo Ming, in fact, every person has a violent factor in their heart, and gambling is undoubtedly to meet this demand. A big player like Guo Ming is rarely seen. Such people are not non-existent, but they all appear in the VIP area, they will not show up here.
The official's hand trembled slightly, he understood that if he made another mistake, he would probably be finished, and as for this job, it was not even worth thinking about. As for Guo Ming, even if he won the money, he absolutely couldn't take it away. You can win money, but if you win too much money and don't have any backing, then sorry, you'll have to stay here!
Sixty-four small coins rolled non-stop, and people in this area went crazy shouting.
Guo Ming's eyes were calm, as if these things had nothing to do with him. Mingming was originally also staring at those constantly rolling small balls, but soon her gaze turned to Guo Ming's body, plain and elegant, as if all things were not stained with dust, coming and going at will, that kind of calm and empty quality made her heart skip a beat. Originally, the heart that had been dormant for a long time was once again lively.
What kind of person is he after all?
Those crazy fast little balls slowly came down, the 34th ball slowly came down. The dealer didn't plan to cheat this time, what he cared about was not the odd or even issue, but that Guo Ming's No. 5 couldn't come over.
His eyes were fixed on the spinning ball while paying attention to Guo Ming, he wanted to see how Guo Ming was going to cheat this time.
Suddenly, his mind moved and the little ball No. 5 was actually squeezed and knocked over by two small balls. He was startled this time, and hurriedly operated in secret, beginning to consciously control the little ball No. 5, intending to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, no matter how he manipulated behind the scenes, he was always inferior to Guo Ming's divine mental power.
Guo Ming's divine sense had long been locked onto the hole and the No. 5 ball, as long as he wanted, no ball could fall in, even if it was at the hole.
Ball number five shot out of the dealer's control and flew rapidly, while at the same time ball number thirty-four finally came to a stop, looking as if it was about to drop in the next second.
Guo Ming's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment, and indeed, the casino would not let him win. The people around him also looked at Guo Ming with pitiful eyes, in their opinion this kid was just a standard prodigal son, you took away more than a million yuan and now you have nothing left.
Unfortunately, for some reason, No. 34 ball stopped for 0.5 seconds, and No. 5 ball was hit flying from this side but flashed back from this side, suddenly hitting No. 34 ball, which seemed to be falling down, the crowd burst into another shout of surprise.
The official's face turned green, if this little ball fell down, it would be more than 50 million! He could no longer afford to hide his clumsiness, even if people saw the problem, he had to get rid of No. 5, but he soon discovered that his covert operation seemed to have failed, and No. 5 still fell down after shaking a few times.
A shocking reversal, no one had expected.
Guo Ming smiled calmly and said, "It seems I really had a big explosion of character."
Haha, a loud and arrogant voice came out of Guo Ming's mouth, at the same time, a layer of dark clouds appeared on the face of the official on the other side.
