Chapter 413: 413 Lucky Number

413 Lucky Number

Of course, Touan Xiaole had ulterior motives in bringing Yuchi here. If Yuchi lost, he would try to cajole him into borrowing money from the boss to continue playing, which would then earn Touan Xiaole a commission. The more Yuchi borrowed, the more he would earn.

This place was indeed akin to a casino, though it leaned toward the underground type. The odds were heavily stacked in favor of the dealer.

In any case, once he got addicted, he would definitely suffer a loss. This much was obvious to Yuchi. However, Yuchi was not an ordinary person. After observing several rounds of the game, he could already tell, no sense, the difference between the medicinal herb seeds.

In essence, he could easily predict the winning seeds based on the amount of Heavenly Dao contained within each one. After verifying his conjectures and assumptions by observing three games, he was now certain.

His method of ‘cheating’ would work.

Alright.

Since he had no better way to earn money, and doing it the normal way would probably take him thousands of years, it was better to take the shortcut.

Then, a new batch of seeds appeared in everyone’s field of vision, and everyone began to use whatever methods, superstitious or otherwise, to make their own deductions.

Three minutes later, all the chips had been wagered.

As for Yuchi, he also placed a chip on the seed with the number 23.

When Touan Xiaole saw this, he was overjoyed.

‘As expected, foreigners aren’t all that bright. Number 23 won earlier, so how could it win again? The probability of this happening was far too small.’

He started to prepare his spiel to get Yuchi to borrow money from the boss.

In any case, he did not intend to swindle Yuchi for too much money. He would probably ask Yuchi to borrow 10,000 from the boss, which would earn him about 200 as the middleman. At that time, Yuchi would only be forced to work for the boss for three or four months at most to pay off the debt.

The other people also saw Yuchi’s actions, and simply shook their heads in silence.

This guy was really a fool. Why was he buying No. 23 at this time?

It was obvious that No. 23 was not a good seed. Not only was it not big, but there were also some messy patterns on it. From their perspective, there was no way that seed would win. This guy was just throwing away money.

Yue Hanjiang waited with bated breath. She wanted to see these guys taught a lesson by her master. After all, she could also sense the amount of Heavenly Dao contained within each seed.

The result was just as Yue Hanjiang had expected. Shortly after, 20 chips were handed over to Yuchi. These were his winnings from the round.

Touan Xiaole was speechless.

How could it be number 23 again? What were the odds of that happening?

“It seems like his luck is pretty good to be able to guess correctly.”

“A 1/60 probability.”

“That seems to be the case.”

The others who had lost looked at Yuchi with resentment, attributing his success to newcomer’s luck.

“Tch, when I was a newbie, I won my first game as well, but after that, I experienced a string of losses.”

“That’s right, newbies have all the luck at first, but it won’t last forever.”

When the second round began, Yuchi once again placed his bet on number 23. Of course, when Yuchi himself did this, he felt a little helpless. After all, the probability of this happening so many times in a row was really too low.

On the other hand, Touan Xiaole was instantly elated.

‘Hahahaha, this guy really thinks he’s the god of luck. He won by betting on No. 23, and now he’s still betting on No. 23. I guess he doesn’t care much about money.’

Beside him, the rest of the participants were amused. Even the judge who was hosting the game laughed out loud. They did not know what he was thinking, but such slow-witted participants were always welcome.

Ten minutes later, the crowd burst into an uproar.

“No way, it’s really number 23 again? Is number 23 on steroids? For three consecutive matches, number 23 grew the fastest!”

“Is there something wrong with number 23’s container?”

“That can’t be. We’re all watching it with our eyes!”

“How could it be number 23 again?”

Everyone was in a state of shock.

Touan Xiaole was also dumbfounded.

Then, while everyone was still in a daze, Yuchi laughed bitterly. He placed the 400 chips in his hand on number 23. Then, when everyone stared at him incredulously, he said awkwardly, “Number 23 is my lucky number.”
