Chapter 160 Gambling

As the system notification sounded, Ji Yi's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Under normal circumstances, the difficulty of a dungeon will not change on its own easily, but if we are looking for the reason, the problem should lie in Ji Yi's actions just now.

After all, such reckless behavior is not something a normal person with normal intelligence would do.

'Hmm, that's troublesome.'

The problem wasn't the dungeons; whether it was normal or easy, Ji Yi didn't see any difference.

The problem is that the penalty for failing at the normal level is dropping one level, and if you don't eat cilantro, your level will drop to zero, and then you will die.

"So, this marriage is absolutely necessary?"

Ji Yi stroked his chin, deep in thought, completely ignoring the group of fierce-looking people around him.

"Pretend, you're about to die and you're still pretending." Yao Shaojie said viciously, "The opportunity is right in front of you, you'd better think it over carefully. Don't think that just because you're in Xia Country I can't do anything to you, I have plenty of ways to kill you."

"Brother Ji."

Chicken Leg panicked and looked at Ji Yi with a pleading expression.

Clearly, this is a situation that a relatively unknown author would not know how to handle.

After all, most dungeons involve puzzle-solving and combat, and a shut-in like him couldn't handle interpersonal conflicts with such a disparity in strength.

Meanwhile, Cilantro remained calm and quietly took out her phone to blindly dial the police number behind her back. Ji Yi noticed her small actions.

The little girl was clever this time, but the process for completing the task was not like that.

Ji Yi stepped forward and grasped Xiangcai's wrist: "Leave the rest to me. It seems we're determined to clear this dungeon today."

Cilantro didn't object and softly replied, "Mmm."

At this moment, Ji Yi finally looked at Yao Shaojie: "You want my girlfriend to only stay with you for a few days? Is that enough? How about we place a bet?"

Yao Shaojie raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

“I’ll use her as collateral to gamble a couple more times at your casino. If I lose, you can take her with you. But if I turn my luck around and win big, paying off all my debts, then you shouldn’t have anything to say, right?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

That's such a scumbag!

How could he gamble with people? Besides, would his girlfriend be happy about that?

Sensing the surprise of the chicken leg behind him and the slight anger in the coriander's eyes, Ji Yi calmly turned around to comfort him: "Trust me, nothing will happen."

Cilantro still had a hint of hostility in her eyes, but she slowly loosened her grip on her dress.

Ji Yi felt that her reaction was a bit excessive.

They're not even really boyfriend and girlfriend, why are you so angry?

I don't know where this little girl got her stubbornness from, but thankfully she's fairly obedient.

Yao Shaojie became interested: "You think she can just gamble like that? Do you think she'll agree?"

Ji Yi nodded: "Of course, you can ask her if you don't believe me. Since the human trafficking contract is illegal, let's get a loan of one million in her own name, what do you think?"

Seeing that Xiangcai showed no sign of resistance, Yao Shaojie quickly revealed a lewd grin: "Alright! I'll do as you say!"

Chicken Leg approached Ji Yi somewhat uneasily: "Brother Ji, are you confident? I've heard that shady dealings are common in casinos, are you..."

"Just watch the show."

Ji Yi smiled calmly: "I've never lost a game of cards."

Seeing this, Chicken Leg said no more. After all, he hadn't been in a dungeon for a long time and knew nothing about Ji Yi's abilities.

Ji Yi was certainly not blindly confident.

Not to mention possessing the eyes of data and the vision of God, Ji Yi is able to know all the information about the gambling game.

In addition, items like the [Magic Arcane Gloves], [Joker Card], and [Clown Mask] are all powerful tools for cheating in casinos, and...
The dungeon does not restrict these equipment.

Aside from abilities involving violence, most equipment and abilities are available.

Unfortunately, the amazing skill "Winners go to the table, losers eat dirt" has been banned.

This is a powerful skill that allows you to take one of the other person's items at will by comparing their strengths. With Ji Yi's intelligence, she could easily trick Yao Shaojie out of everything, leaving him with nothing, and complete the game in a flash.

It's a pity it can't be used.

After some thought, Ji Yi and the other two were forced into a car by a group of burly men.

Long City does indeed have the Yao family's legal gambling businesses, but they are much more regulated than the underground gambling dens in Southeast Asia, so there's no need to worry about losing your money; you can just play as much as you want.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ji Yi's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

He shared a car with the cilantro and chicken leg, and since this car was sandwiched in the middle of the convoy, it naturally couldn't pull any tricks.

Seeing Ji Yi's serious expression, Chicken Leg asked uncertainly again, "Brother Ji, are you really confident? Don't scare me."

"Yes, of course it is."

Ji Yi rubbed her temples: "But winning money is just the most insignificant step next; I'm thinking about other things."

Since we're already here, how can we not pull off a big heist and make a killing before leaving?

Half an hour later.

A line of black cars pulled up in front of a very luxurious-looking building.

Ji Yi's eyes showed a slight emotion, but she still calmly got off the car with cilantro and chicken leg.

Yao Shaojie also got out of the car at this moment. He looked at Ji Yi with the same eyes he would when looking at prey, his eyes full of mockery.

Everyone knows that gambling is a losing proposition, yet some people always think they will be the lucky one.

Unfortunately, Ji Yi, a lamb already caught in the trap, will only lose every time he gambles, losing all the money he borrowed, and then sinking deeper and deeper until he is bankrupt.

But that's not all.

He also planned to force Ji Yi to sign a labor contract to go abroad, but once she was on his turf, well...
The women stayed to play, while the men were tortured and abused.

Yao Shaojie tried his best to conceal the malice in his eyes, but the look of looking at an ant was ultimately hard to hide.

"So, you've always gone to the branch venues before, right? Is this your first time at headquarters?"

Yao Shaojie said flippantly.

As the largest casino in the area, even ordinary casual patrons who come here have hundreds of thousands of dollars in their pockets.

"Yeah, first time."

Ji Yi said nonchalantly, taking Xiangcai's hand and walking towards the door, with Chicken Leg following closely behind.

Yao Shaojie was ignored as if he were invisible, and was simply overlooked.

"Humph."

He snorted coldly, beckoned to one of his men, whispered something to him, and the man quickly ran inside.

Upon entering, Ji Yi and the other two first passed through an electronic gate, scanned their ID cards to confirm their age, and then went through a security check.

Inspect dangerous or prohibited items, cheating devices, etc.

After completing the inspection, the three finally arrived at the lobby, which was quite lively, mostly consisting of casual tables and slot machine areas. For more advanced tables, a dedicated person would be needed to assist them.

Many people, their faces flushed, sat around the table, staring expectantly at the cards on the gambling table. Then, as the dealer revealed the cards, some cheered and shouted, while others were filled with regret.

Look at these fools, endlessly playing an unfair game of luck. Even if the house doesn't cheat, they'll only lose more and more, eventually falling into the abyss.

Ji Yi keenly grasped the information from the Data Eye, which quickly provided the corresponding information: [Whether it's the table, the cards, the dealer, or cheating devices and techniques, these people have an endless array of ways to manipulate things. Generally, they wouldn't use such methods lightly, but clearly you don't fall into this category.]

"Interesting," Ji Yi murmured.

Under normal circumstances, casinos don't need to go to such extremes, because it's just standard practice. According to probability and the house's cut, even without cheating, the organizers would still be 100% profitable.

But for clients like Ji Yi who are specifically targeted for special treatment, they simply don't listen to reason, and it's a losing proposition from the start.

"Hello, Mr. Yao asked me to process your loan application."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a warm smile came up to Ji Yi. He looked refined and his smile seemed harmless.

"Well, let's go."

After calling for cilantro and chicken legs to follow, the group arrived at a small private room.

Ji Yi glanced at the contract on the table.

"Oh? There's also a labor contract? I remember this is different from what I told Yao Shaojie."

The middle-aged man's smile remained warm: "If you're confident you can repay the debt and win back your chips, what difference does the content of the contract make? Besides, even if you can't repay, we've already arranged a backup plan for you, haven't we?"

Ji Yi chuckled: "Hmm, that makes sense."

According to the above, if Ji Yi is unable to repay the debt, he will have to work for a company owned by the Yao family in Southeast Asia, and once he goes abroad...
Needless to say, their fate was sealed.

After a while.

"What are you all standing there for? Sign the contract!" Ji Yi said.

Chicken Leg: "Huh? Brother Ji, I have to sign too?"

"Since we can get more leverage, we might as well sign it quickly."

Even as Ji Yi was speaking, Xiang Cai had already taken action.

This young lady is quite capable; she's decisive and doesn't procrastinate.

This is a basic quality that a pro player should possess, and Ji Yi is appreciating her more and more.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Since Xie Jiayi is an ordinary person and shouldn't be implicated by me, shouldn't I find another good match?

This girl looks pretty good, with a nice figure, but she's a bit cold and has an inexplicable aversion to Ji Yi. I wonder if it's because he's too handsome that he's seen as a jerk.

But feelings can be cultivated.

'Wait, what am I thinking?'

Wouldn't that make us seem too casual, thinking that if someone is pretty and has a good figure, we don't need to be picky?
Although I don't want to admit it, it seems to be true.

Strange, I clearly don't have those kinds of feelings for Xiaoqin, so why does Xiangcai give me a strange sense of familiarity and acceptance?

However, Ji Yi still felt a strange moral dilemma, subconsciously believing that doing so was wrong.

Even though he and Xie Jiayi were not even officially dating, he still had a kind of moral fastidiousness. Once he liked a girl, he felt he shouldn't have any feelings for other girls.

After thinking it over, Ji Yi also signed the contract.

His blank and stunned expression was clearly seen by the middle-aged man, whose expression was particularly meaningful.

Having worked here for so long, I've seen all sorts of people. Ji Yi is a typical brainless idiot. It won't be long before he loses everything.

That's how young people are. When they first enter society, they feel confident and full of potential, but in reality, the consequence of blind self-confidence is often suffering losses.

The saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit." This young man's mistake has cost him his entire life; he's really unlucky.

As the middle-aged man was thinking this, Ji Yi suddenly turned her head:
Were you cursing me in your mind just now?

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then flashed his signature smile:
"Sir, how could that be? I've been the most highly rated employee for many years. Besides, you don't have mind-reading abilities, how would you know what I'm thinking?"

Ji Yi smiled: "You are not me, so how would you know whether I know what you are thinking?"

His smile was enigmatic and mysterious, almost giving the middle-aged man the illusion that "he really can read minds."

bluff.

The middle-aged man made a quick decision, but out of professional ethics, he didn't take it seriously and instead stated in a businesslike manner:
"Now that the contract has been signed, I will take you all to collect your chips. As Young Master Yao instructed, each person will receive one million chips, so you can get a total of three million chips."

Despite the casino's apparent generosity, everyone knows that chips are just an empty number and cannot actually be converted into money.

They can only escape if they win a game with those three million chips and know when to quit while they're ahead.

Theoretically speaking, the probability of winning a game is not low, and losing money is often due to greed.

The middle-aged man thought to himself, his eyes filled with indifference as he looked at Ji Yi and the other two.

'What a pity, what a pity, you couldn't win a single game.'

Soon, he led Ji Yi and the other two to the exchange counter, where each of them held one of the three pink chips.

"Would you like me to show you around and explain how to play? We also have a VIP room with even more activities to enjoy," the middle-aged man asked.

Ji Yi waved her hand: "No need, we'll just look around on our own."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man didn't say much, but still stood aside and said, "Alright, I'll stay by your side. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

Normal people don't receive this kind of treatment; it comes from Yao Shaojie's "special care."

Ji Yi immediately beamed with joy: "That's great! Go get three cups of bubble tea for the three of us, with extra tapioca pearls!"

Middle-aged man: "?"

You idiot, you actually dare to make demands? Can't you tell I'm here to spy on you?
"What? Didn't you just say you could ask me anything if you needed anything? Pfft, with this kind of service attitude, you think you deserve to be the most highly rated employee?"

Faced with Ji Yi's disdainful mockery, the middle-aged man secretly suppressed his anger.

Be arrogant now, the more arrogant you are, the more embarrassed you will be later!
After a long pause, the middle-aged man forced out, "Okay. Please wait a moment," and then hurriedly left.

Ji Yi smiled and focused her gaze on the nearest gambling table.

"X Jiale... is not easy to deal with."

That's absolutely true. No matter whether you bet on Banker, Player, or Tie, you'll always lose.

This was within Ji Yi's expectations. This game involved placing bets first, and then the dealer would draw cards. Ji Yi could only watch the whole thing.

There are many more things that can be done here.

But the devil may be one foot tall, but the righteous path is ten feet tall.

Ji Yi looked at the description of the [Magic Secret Technique Gloves] on her hand.

Effect 2 "Lucky Draw": When drawing cards, your probability of getting the card you want increases by 50%.

"This ability seems to activate simply by touching the card table; I don't need to draw cards myself."

I'm just unclear about how this result should be settled.

The dealer can perform cheating techniques that are difficult to detect with the naked eye when drawing and revealing cards. If the skill is activated when drawing cards, what will happen if the opponent changes the cards later?

Hmm. Worth trying.

"Wow."

Ji Yi threw out twenty chips.

This action drew the attention of those around them, who all looked at the card table in surprise.

"Pressure and harmony?"
