He had just married a policewoman when he was diagnosed with criminal genius.

Lu Chen found it amusing.

He spent the entire afternoon studying the skills of the King of Gamblers.

He had to admit—this skill was indeed a bit too overpowered.

If used in a casino, it would be a game-changer, capable of crushing opponents.

Becoming a gambling god is a piece of cake, but unfortunately, a hero has no place to use his talents.

But...

It's still good for teasing your wife.

This can be considered one of the few "practical uses" of this skill.

Soon, the two sat down facing each other at the table.

Mahjong cannot be played by two people; they can only play cards and dice.

The poker game they played was Texas Hold'em.

Jiang Xue didn't understand the rules of Texas Hold'em at all; it was Lu Chen who taught her.

Of course, Lu Chen himself only mastered the King of Gamblers skill without a teacher after acquiring it.

After all, he had no prior gambling experience, so who would bother to study these rules?

But now, those card combinations, probabilities, and techniques are like they're etched into my mind.

The result was predictable...

Jiang Xue is defeated!

I played more than ten rounds and didn't win a single one.

"I'm not playing anymore!" Jiang Xue angrily pushed the cards away and switched to dice to compare sizes.

Jiang Xue was so angry that she switched to playing dice to see who was bigger.

In the end, they still lost miserably.

"I'm not playing anymore, I can't beat you."

Jiang Xue slumped into her chair like a deflated balloon.

But then her eyes lit up, and she sat up abruptly, her eyes gleaming: "Honey, how come you're so lucky? Why don't we go buy lottery tickets today!"

Lu Chen was amused by her "discovering a new continent" expression: "I'm not just lucky."

He shook his head, his tone becoming more serious, "You should know the saying 'nine out of ten bets are rigged,' right?"

Jiang Xue nodded: "That means that out of ten betting games, nine of them may involve cheating."

"Yes, but the core meaning of this proverb is far more profound than its literal meaning."

Lu Chen put down his cards and said slowly, "In the card game I played with you, I used some cheating techniques—what people in the industry call 'cheating tricks'."

"Otherwise, how could I possibly win every single game against you?" Lu Chen added with a chuckle.

Jiang Xue was taken aback: "Ah, when did you learn to cheat? How come I didn't notice at all?"

"If I let you know, will that still be called cheating?"

"...Oh, you're right!"

Jiang Xue nodded thoughtfully, and then—

I suddenly realized what was happening.

"Wait a minute, honey, how come you know how to cheat? You wouldn't happen to... gamble too, would you?"

Thinking of this, her face turned deathly pale.

As a frontline police officer, she was all too aware of the extent of Xia Guo's crackdown on gambling.

Even if the amount is small, the punishment will never be lenient, let alone if your husband is actually involved in gambling...

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Xue's mind, and the more she thought about it, the uglier her face became.

Lu Chen could tell from her expression that she had misunderstood, so he quickly stopped her: "Hey, hey, hey, you really don't trust your husband that much?!"

"Think about it, if your husband really is a gambler, would he let you know I know how to cheat? Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?"

"Besides, if I were a gambler, would I still want to marry you?" He shrugged. "That would be like lighting a lamp in a latrine, it's suicide, don't you think?"

Jiang Xue was taken aback by what he said.

Upon closer examination, it does make sense.

Yes, if Lu Chen were a gambler, he wouldn't have married a policeman like himself.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted her heavy chest, and her expression softened.

"Then why do you know how to cheat?" Curiosity replaced worry as she tilted her head and asked.

"When I was young, I watched foreign movies about gambling gods and became very curious, so I studied them for a while."

Lu Chen said without changing his expression, "Maybe I'm a genius in this area. I can easily figure out some winning techniques for playing cards."

"Really?" Jiang Xue asked, half believing it.

"Of course it's true," Lu Chen said firmly.

There may be geniuses in this field in the world, but he is definitely not Lu Chen.

However, he only dared to say these words in his heart.

Jiang Xue stared at him for a few seconds, but couldn't find anything wrong with him.

"Your husband is good at a lot of things, you just don't know it."

Lu Chen added with a smile, then his tone became more serious, "I can assure you that I will absolutely not use cheating techniques to do anything that violates the laws of our Xia Kingdom."

"Okay!" Jiang Xue nodded, completely trusting Lu Chen.

Seeing that Jiang Xue believed him, Lu Chen quickly changed the subject, as he didn't want to be questioned about the origins of his cheating techniques.

"Honey, what are your thoughts after playing against someone like me who knows how to cheat?"

Jiang Xue pondered for a moment: "If I had known that the person I was playing against had your skills, I definitely wouldn't have gambled."

"No, even if I had half your skill, I wouldn't gamble, because it's almost a guaranteed loss."

Recalling her match with Lu Chen just now, even though she was completely focused, she couldn't find any flaws in Lu Chen's play.

Every game I lose is inexplicable; I don't even know how I lost. This feeling is terrifying.

Lu Chen laughed: "That's right. For ordinary people, going to participate in a gambling game is almost like giving money away to others."

Jiang Xue nodded.

It's common knowledge that gamblers lose everything because they are destined to lose.

Sometimes, even winning is just a prelude to losing even more in the next round.

But knowing this is one thing, but it wasn't until he personally experienced being cheated tonight that he truly understood—this wasn't gambling, it was simply giving money away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xue suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

If gamblers gamble because they hope to win money.

What if we let them know that the bet was a guaranteed loss from the start?

I doubt anyone will gamble anymore.

Isn't this the best anti-gambling propaganda?

She became more and more excited as she thought about it, rather than just giving a dry lecture in front of the camera.

Why not set up a stage and let Lu Chen play against passersby, so that those onlookers can personally experience the despair she felt tonight?

The live stream would be absolutely phenomenal.

She immediately told Lu Chen her thoughts.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Xue to set her sights on him.

But thinking about it carefully... it really is a good idea.

As the king of gamblers, understanding people's psychology is one of his skills.

He knew very well that if ordinary people witnessed firsthand the deceptive tricks and schemes involved in gambling...

Knowing that every bet is controlled by someone else, they will definitely stay away from gambling in the future.

This might save countless families.

"Then this... doesn't count as gambling!" Lu Chen hesitated.

Jiang Xue smiled: "As long as it's not gambling with money, it doesn't count as gambling, so don't worry."

"I'll apply for some toys and dolls as prizes, no problem."

Lu Chen nodded: "Then there's no problem."

"Are you sure you're okay?" Jiang Xue stared at him, her tone becoming more serious. "You'd better promise not to lose tomorrow, otherwise our anti-gambling campaign will be much less effective."

"Don't worry about that. I'll definitely complete the task my wife assigned me and support her work." Lu Chen gave a proper salute, full of confidence.

With his skills as the King of Gamblers, Lu Chen was naturally not afraid of losing.

For him, since he couldn't make money with the King of Gamblers skill, he might as well let it play its due value—even if it only helped one person, it wouldn't be a waste of the skill.

"Okay, I'll report to Director Ding right away and see if he agrees," Jiang Xue said, picking up her phone.
