Chapter 25: Chapter 25 1'm Going to Start Making Money

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Xiaoman, following Huang Xiaolong's instructions, immediately went to the nearby supermarket to buy him the 'Phidoya Chocolate' he needed. Then, trembling with fear, she accompanied Huang Xiaolong to Brother Hut s “place”.

Brother Hu's casino is located on the mid-section of Hua Lake Street, in a two-story building that doesn't stand out.

Downstairs, a few emo kids with flamboyantly dyed hair were smoking while scanning their surroundings with hawk-like alertness.

“Little Long, this is the place…” Su Xiaoman whispered shakily. “Do we… do we really have to go in?”

No doubt, Su Xiaoman was terrified of the casino- her younger brother had gambled away their family fortune here and had remained missing ever since.

“Sister Xiaoman, don't be scared… We're just going in for a little while.” Huang Xiaolong said smiling.

His smile was like a beam of sunlight piercing through the dark clouds, instilling an inexplicable sense of safety in Su Xiaoman.

Ever since Su Xiaoman had met Huang Xiaolong, she felt a strong sense of security around him. She gritted her teeth and nodded. “I will go in with you.”

Just before stepping into the casino, Huang Xiaolong began to mumble to himself, “Mom, dad, mister village leader, I didn't become a delinquent. I'm not going to gamble, I'm helping Sister Xiaoman to settle her debt… I won't touch money earned immorally…”

After talking to himself, a relieved expression crossed Huang Xiaolong's face.

Then, he strode into the casino with Su Xiaoman following closely behind him.

The emo kids guarding the entrance didn't stop them and just leered at Su Xiaoman's retreating figure and whistled lewdly.

Upon entering the casino, Huang Xiaolong's eyes brightened.

In front of him was a giant hall, well over hundreds of square meters, filled with raucous voices and a lavish crystal chandelier casting a splendid glow.

The song “Within My Song” by Qu Wanting echoed in the hall. There were dozens of tables and machines — slot machines, fishing games, fruit machines. Each table or machine was crowded with people of all sorts: common laborers, white-collar workers, nouveau riche flaunting gold necklaces…

Staff members, wearing uniforms and carrying walkie-talkies, moved between tables with serious expressions and alert eyes.

Towards each table, there was a gorgeous, scantily clad woman dealing cards or throwing dice.

This was quite a large casino!

“Little Long… I…l…l'm a bit nervous…” The casino atmosphere was overwhelming for Su Xiaoman. She subconsciously clutched at Huang Xiaolong's sleeve and hid behind him.

As for Huang Xiaolong, the moment he set foot in the casino, he exuded an indescribable aura. His eyes gleamed with a faint sharpness.

If there were an idiom to describe Huang Xiaolong at this moment, it would be like a fish in water!

At the same time, the moment Huang Xiaolong walked into the casino, dozens of surveillance cameras began recording his every move!

Second floor of the casino!

In a room filled with computers, over a dozen men and women were lounging in front of the screens, snacking and drinking beer.

Brother Hu and Brother Earthworm were sitting behind one of the computers, legs propped up lazily.

“Brother Hu, that country bumpkin came with Xiaoman…” Brother Earthworm pointed at the surveillance footage on the computer screen.

“Hahahaha… so he really dared to come?” Brother Hu laughed heartily, then

clapped his hands, “Everyone, perk up! See that country bumpkin? Keep an eye

on him!”

All the staffers in the room immediately straightened up and began to monitor Huang Xiaolong and Su Xiaoman on the surveillance screen.

“After tonight, the secret recipe for that duck dish will be mine!” Brother Hu's eyes burned with anticipation, “Finally, I'm gonna get rich… my ancestors' graves must be smoking!”

“Hehehe, Brother Hu, Xiaoman… she can't escape this time, right?” Brother Earthworm had a lewd grin on his face, “Brother Hu, when you've had your way with Xiaoman, don't forget to share the joy with your brothers…”

“You have such low aspirations? Once we've got the secret recipe, we can have any girl in Binhai! Hahaha!” Brother Hu laughed wildly.

First floor of the casino.

Huang Xiaolong was looking around casually, noticing all kinds of gambling games available in the grand hall. They had everything – roulette, blackjack, showhand, guessing high or low card, 5-card stud, dice… In other words, any form of gambling you could possibly think of was available.

“Sister Xiaoman, let's get some chips,” Huang Xiaolong said eagerly, pulling Su Xiaoman to a counter.

The casino chips were available in several denominations – $10, $50, $100, $500, $1000, topped off at $5000.

Huang Xiaolong took a crumpled ten-dollar note from his pocket, handed it to the bunny girl behind the counter, and gave her a cheeky grin. “Can I get a chip worth ten bucks, please?”

“Sure, please wait, ” The bunny girl reluctantly took the note from Huang Xiaolong, then handed him a tiny red chip.

'Such a bumpkin… bet he's some construction worker from around here trying to get licks in on a ten-dollar bet. What a joke. The rural population sure has a negative IQ' she thought, feeling utmost disdain for Huang Xiaolong.

“Sister Xiaoman, I've got the chip, let's go play!” Huang Xiaolong seemed to be in a hurry now.

“Um… Little Long, this chip… it's so small. Isn't it?” Su Xiaoman was somewhat embarrassed.

Just ten dollars!

They're like kids playing house!

“Sister Xiaoman, ten dollars is plenty… Let's head to the baccarat table first.” Huang Xiaolong, holding Su Xiaoman's hand, led her to a baccarat table.

Baccarat, meaning '0' in Italian, is a card game that originated in France and is popular in European casinos. In the 20th century, Mr. Ye Han introduced Baccarat from the United States to Macau, giving it an oriental name Baccarat. To this day, Baccarat is one of the most popular games in casinos worldwide. Simplicity, suited to all ages, makes it essentially a one-play learn.

At this baccarat table, there were six players and a quite attractive, young brown-haired croupier in her twenties dealing the cards.

Huang Xiaolong was not looking at the beautiful croupier nor placing his bets immediately. He was staring intently at the card dispenser.

“Sister Xiaoman, are you familiar with this game? Called 'Baccarat' , it's a pretty simple gambling game. It's basically comparing card values, and you can bet on the 'Player, Banker, Tie, Pair.' There's a saying – 'Follow the banker, follow the player, follow the break, stop at three losses, return wins at five, stop at five-five'…” Huang Xiaolong explained nonchalantly.

Su Xiaoman was flabbergasted.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong's demeanor began to change somewhat. He became more mysterious, elusive, and calm. His eyes were like a whirlpool, captivating people.

“So… Little Long… how do you plan on betting?” Su Xiaoman curiously asked.

“Wait a bit longer…” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Sister Xiaoman, I'm observing the programming pattern of the card dispenser. Every machine in the casino works on preset programming. Once I figure out the pattern, winning money will be child's play.”

“Programming pattern of the card dispensing machine?” Su Xiaoman was even more bewildered.

Second-floor control room.

“Brother Hu, that rube keeps observing and hasn't rushed to place bets yet..

worker furrowed his brows, “He looks like he's calculating something…”

“Calculating my ass!” Brother Hu laughed nonchalantly. “A bumpkin with mud-caked shoes, what's he gonna calculate, the programming pattern of the dispensing machine? Do you think he's a god of gamble? 'Calculating a pattern'… ha ha ha ha… the guy turned in a ten-dollar note for a chip… I've never seen anyone as stupid as him in all my life!”

After observing a dozen or so rounds, Huang Xiaolong nodded, smiled knowingly, and then casually unwrapped a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth, the bitter and smoky taste slowly spreading.

“Sister Xiaoman, I've figured it out. Now, it's time to start making money.” Huang Xiaolong then sat at the baccarat table and casually tossed his small chip.

The tiny ten-dollar chip landed directly in the 'Pair' betting area.
