CHAPTER 722: CHAPTER 720: THE WHEEL [FIRST UPDATE]
Lu Xiaobu arrived at the roulette wheel with the bewitching cat, quickly drawing a large crowd of spectators.
"Hiss! Who’s that short guy with? Is that the bewitching cat?!"
"Good heavens! I always knew the bewitching cat had a great figure, but I didn’t expect it to be this good! Tsk tsk tsk! Those legs, that fierceness, I’m drooling here!"
"You better take your eyes off her! Careful or the bewitching cat will play you to death!"
"Hahaha, that’s also true!"
"But man, this kid really has some guts! He actually dared to make a move on the bewitching cat! Does he not know how the previous ones were played to their deaths?!"
"There are always a few who don’t cherish their lives every time, it’s quite normal!"
"..."
The customers discussed in low voices.
The chosen one, with disheveled hair, was unlocking the shackles on his limbs.
And if you looked closely, you could see a number on his shackles, which should be his code—46!
Yet, 46’s gaze was fixed on Lu Xiaobu, his eyes filled with cruelty and bloodthirstiness.
If he didn’t have some tricks up his sleeve, could he have survived this life-gambling game for so long?
Zhang Meng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice audible only to him and Lu Xiaobu, "Young Master, unless I’m mistaken, this person should be able to see the location of the bullet."
There are indeed uniquely gifted individuals in the world.
If he could accurately find the bullet’s location, then what is a life-gambling game for others would be child’s play for him!
"See it clearly?"
Lu Xiaobu’s mouth curled into a faint smile.
He had found a new game, more fun than simply using a Shield to withstand directly.
One billion, 100 points of Intelligence Attribute, activate!
Lu Xiaobu immediately entered the Microstate, where everything in his eyes became incredibly slow.
Let’s see if it’s you who sees clearly, or me.
"How much is the bet?"
Lu Xiaobu tilted his head to the side.
"A base of fifty million! We’ll provide the opponent’s betting capital!" the bewitching cat said with a coquettish smile:
"Then it’s a billion per shot! You point the gun at your own head and fire a shot, and we raise a billion! If you don’t fire at yourself, you owe us a billion!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a cunning tactic."
Lu Xiaobu clicked his tongue in admiration.
It sounds fair, but in reality, it’s a game the dealer almost can’t lose.
Put yourself in this situation, would you choose to shoot yourself in the head, or hand over a billion?!
Obviously, you’d hand over a billion!
After all, there’s no need to gamble with your life!
But in doing so,
there are only two ways left to win!
First, make the opponent fire the first shot and hit the target, raking in fifty million.
Second, you can only shoot yourself in the head and then extremely luckily win the final victory!
Otherwise, the dealer almost never loses!
Of course, you might say, ah, I’ve calculated the odds, decided how many shots not to fire, then give up and so on!
You certainly could do that.
But what I want to ask is, is there really a huge difference between firing one shot at your head and firing a few shots?!
"This game was originally prepared for regular customers, we hope the master won’t mind."
The bewitching cat’s supple body leaned against Lu Xiaobu, swaying from side to side, full of seduction.
By ’regular customers’ she meant those who were blinded by their gambling but lacked the capital to turn the tables!
For these ’regular customers’, a billion per shot is quite the temptation!
Then she whispered into Lu Xiaobu’s ear: "Besides, we still have an extra bet, right?"
Her whisper, coupled with the soft breath and the music and lights that rapidly induced secretion of male hormones, I believe, not many people would refuse.
"Of course, I understand. Let’s get started then."
Lu Xiaobu nonchalantly went along and his hand boldly wandered up and down.
"Begin!"
The bewitching cat immediately gave the command.
A Russian hulk beside them took out a revolver, opened the cylinder for everyone to see clearly, then in front of everyone, inserted one bullet.
The Russian brute raised it again, signaling that he had not tampered with it.
Finally, he began to spin the cylinder.
"Swish!"
As the cylinder spun, the eyes of number 46 immediately fixed on its rotation.
Lu Xiaobu’s eyes also followed the motion, locking firmly onto the position of the bullet.
The demon cat watched Xiaobu’s movements, the corners of her mouth curling into a cold arc.
Do you think you are number 46?
You want to see the position of the bullet?!
Wishful thinking!
She knew this was just like those fledglings who enter the casino for the first time, pretending to listen to the rolling dice just because others do!
But you can’t hear a damn thing!
"Click!"
And at this moment, the spinning of the revolver stopped.
Number 46 immediately showed a smile—good, the bullet was in the fifth or sixth position, this round was as good as won.
Indeed, even he did not dare to say he could see it clearly, just a rough estimate, but that was enough!
What? You ask why he’s certain he’s won?!
Simple, as long as he fires four shots at himself, then victory is certain!
Would that pretty boy on the opposite side dare to bet against him with a one in two chance?
A normal person wouldn’t.
After all, simply giving up means losing only fifty million!
But if he fires and chooses not to shoot at his own head, it will cost an extra billion; even winning means losing!
As for shooting at his own head, hehehe!
Would he dare?!
Number 46 was full of smug satisfaction, but Lu Xiaobu also revealed a smile, as he saw clearly—the sixth bullet!
"Slap!"
The Russian brute slapped the revolver down on the table: "Who’s first?!"
Number 46 automatically reached for the revolver.
After all, as previously said, for a normal person, the chances of winning are higher with the first shot, as explained above.
However.
"Hold on!"
The demon cat stopped number 46’s motion, her body truly sticking to Xiaobu like a cat, as she whispered enticingly into Xiaobu’s ear: "I like brave men."
What did that mean?!
It meant letting Xiaobu go first.
This kid surely wouldn’t dare to fire, so he would only throw away a billion!
You think you’re so rich!
I’d like to see just how much money you have to burn like this!
Seeing the demon cat’s action, the surrounding guests shivered one by one.
"It’s starting!"
"The demon cat is about to devour someone!"
"This kid’s done for."
"..."
"Of course, I am the bravest." Xiaobu pressed his hand on the revolver.
At the same time, his previously roaming fingers plunged in deeply once more!
"Hmm!"
The demon cat’s face suddenly flashed an unnatural flush, her teeth almost shattering—feeling proud, aren’t you? I’ll see how long you can keep that up!
"What? You really want to go first?!" Number 46 sneered at this scene, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty excitement: "Then please, be my guest."
This kid is completely captivated by the demon cat!
Since the other party is willing to give an extra billion, he certainly wouldn’t refuse!
After all, he had a share in it too.
Lu Xiaobu slowly picked up the revolver!
