Chapter 47 Encountering an Acquaintance

Staring at the score on the screen, Su Ming began to rethink.

He was now certain that this gambling skill was a genuine reverse buff.

Whatever he invests in, he loses money.

"What if you invested all of it yourself?"

"There are only 8 patterns to bet on. What would happen if I bet on all of them?"

With this in mind, Su Ming decided to conduct another experiment.

This time, he bet 2 points on each of the 7 patterns other than BAR, for a total of 14 points.

Then he placed a bet of 1 on the BAR icon.

A total of 15 points were bet.

He pressed the start button.

The aperture wheel spun rapidly, accompanied by a burst of nostalgic electronic music.

Su Ming stared at the screen, and soon the aperture slowly came to a stop.

Unsurprisingly... the aperture stopped on the small icon.

The small icon for BAR.

From an odds perspective, the odds are lowest when the aperture stops on the small icons of other patterns.

This means Su Ming will lose money on his bet this time.

But the aperture stopped on the BAR icon, which, even though it's a small icon, offers odds of 50.

In other words, after deducting the 15 points Su Ming received, he actually gained 36 points this time.

Based on this situation, it seems that the buff from this skill is targeted at Su Ming's investment amount.

Investing a large amount will result in losses, while investing a small amount will result in profits.

Of course, this only applies when there are no other options.

Su Ming decided to try again.

He clicked "Start" once, so it would repeat the betting from the previous round by default.

Then he pressed the start button again, and the aperture started spinning rapidly.

The aperture stopped, and sure enough, it landed precisely on the BAR icon, with odds of fifty times.

1分变成50分，其他7个图案的14分打了水漂，净赚36分。

"It seems we've figured out the pattern. Under the influence of this gambling monster's skill, there are no other options."

The smaller the investment option he makes, the higher his chances of winning.

Simply put, if he wants to win, he has to do the opposite.

Furthermore, you should invest the least amount of money in the projects you want to win, and spread your cannon fodder funds across other wrong options.

It sounds a bit far-fetched, but the fruit machine in front of you is indeed like that.

"Let's try one more time, this time all in."

Looking at the 363 points remaining on the screen, Su Ming took out his phone and used a calculator to do the math.

He determined the numbers he should bet on: apples, oranges, watermelons, etc., each of these seven patterns worth 46 points.

BAR placed a bet of 41 points.

After the points were distributed, the remaining balance was instantly cleared to zero.

"Come on, let's see if you're really that good."

Su Ming muttered to himself, his finger hovering over the start button before he pressed it hard.

With a whoosh, the wheel began to spin wildly.

Su Ming's heart also jumped. He stared at the screen, the electronic sound effects sounding particularly loud in the empty corner.

The speed slowed down.

The aperture began to sweep across the apple, across the stars, until it slowed down and finally stopped on the BAR icon.

41 points multiplied by 50 suddenly becomes 2050.

After deducting Su Ming's 500 points, he suddenly earned 1500 yuan.

Su Ming sat in the chair, staring at the numbers on the balance sheet, and remained stunned for more than ten seconds.

Then, an indescribable ecstasy surged within me.

"I'm a fucking genius! I can even test the rules of this kind of skill."

After the initial euphoria, he calmed down.

The current skills are only for this kind of simple game; if it's more complex, it's still quite troublesome.

After all, he can't invest in every option every time; that's impossible.

"Looks like we'll have to test something else."

With this in mind, Su Ming decided to lose some points first, and then withdraw the money.

He quickly regained his composure, and as expected, he lost every time he gambled, losing 550 points in no time.

Then he called the receptionist to help him withdraw the money. The receptionist was a little envious when she saw that he had earned 1000 yuan in one go.

However, there are also times when customers are lucky and 1000 yuan is not a lot.

The young lady didn't seem to care much and readily scanned the cash for Su Ming.

"Hey handsome, don't you want to play a little longer? We have other fun things to do here too."

After the young woman helped Su Ming withdraw his money, she subconsciously started promoting other products.

This is also part of her job: to get customers to spend as much money as possible.

Su Ming thought for a moment and decided to conduct more tests, so he asked:

"What other projects are there?"

The young woman smiled, and just as she was about to say something, she saw a man come out of the inner room.

That area is for staff and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Su Ming followed the young lady's gaze and realized that the person looked very familiar.

Soon, the person approached, and the young woman went to greet him.

"Brother Feng, leaving so early today? Aren't you going to stay out a little longer?"

Only then did Su Ming remember who this person was: Shen Feng, Shen Yue's brother.

He looked somewhat dejected, his eyes were lifeless, and his hair was a bit messy, as if he had stayed up all night.

"What's the point of playing anymore? Go home and sleep."

Shen Feng seemed very unhappy and answered impatiently, then his gaze fell on Su Ming.

Su Ming saw Shen Feng's eyes light up and he walked towards him.

"I recognize you! You're Shen Yue's boyfriend, right?"

In Shen Feng's memory, Shen Yue had almost no male friends.

That day at the KTV, Su Ming was sitting next to Shen Yue. Shen Feng immediately assumed Su Ming was Shen Yue's boyfriend, so he gave him a few hard looks.

He remembered Su Ming's appearance, so he recognized him at a glance.

Just as Su Ming was about to explain, Shen Feng spoke again, sounding somewhat urgent.

"Hey...brother-in-law, you like coming here to play too? That's perfect, lend me 2000, I'll go and make back what I lost, and then I'll pay you back."

Shen Feng had a roguish look on his face, a smirk playing on his lips, as if he was certain that Su Ming would lend it to him.

Su Ming understood immediately after hearing Shen Feng's words.

So there's more to it than meets the eye. Shen Feng was gambling inside, and it seems he's lost all his money.

"He's a gambling addict. Looks like he went to Shen Yue last time to ask her for money."

Su Ming made a conclusion in his mind, and all the signs pointed to this.

Judging from Shen Yue's expression at the time, she didn't like this brother, and even loathed him.

"interesting."

Su Ming smiled, his face breaking into a warm smile.

"Hey, Feng-ge, you're hanging out here too?"

Su Ming stood up, walked over, and put his arm around Shen Feng's shoulder.

"Look at what you're saying, do you really need to borrow 2000 yuan? Come on, bro, take me out for some fun, and I'll give you the 2000 yuan."

Shen Feng's eyes lit up when he heard Su Ming's words.

This brother-in-law is great; he comes right up and gives money, unlike that stingy little woman, Shen Yue.

For the first time, he felt that his younger sister, Shen Yue, had found a good boyfriend.

"Sure thing! Come on, brother-in-law, I'll take you to dominate the battlefield today."

As he spoke, Shen Feng pulled Su Ming toward the inner room.
