Xia Lina seemed much less angry now and was even in a better mood.
Smiling, she said:
"Just what do you think you can do with a ten-yuan chip? You'll probably lose it in one round. And when that happens, don't go back on your word and ask for more money to buy chips."
"Hehe, a promise is a promise. If I lose, I'll keep my word."
Su Ming chuckled and walked toward the gaming table. At the same time, he held onto Xia Lina's hand.
The underground casino was chaotic, filled with all kinds of people. If they got separated, who knew what might happen to such a beautiful woman?
Feeling Su Ming holding her hand so intimately, Xia Lina felt a brief flutter of shyness, though it quickly disappeared.
Standing behind him, she watched the gambling table. Around it, many people had already placed their bets and were waiting for the result.
The game was simple: betting on Big or Small. Win or lose depended entirely on the roll of the dice.
"Come on, open it already!"
"Seriously, can you move any slower? We're tired of waiting!"
Several impatient gamblers shouted at the dealer, urging her to start.
Su Ming glanced at the table and smiled.
Although he only had a single chip, he was completely confident that he could turn it into a fortune.
He quietly activated one of his supernatural abilities.
A mysterious power flowed from his right hand.
The dealer, wearing a revealing outfit, had no idea that for the next ten minutes, every outcome of her dice rolls would be under Su Ming's control.
This was an ability he could use on objects.
For ten minutes, he was practically a god.
At least at the gambling table, he could not lose.
Standing close behind him, Xia Lina watched curiously.
Would he bet on Big or Small?
This was her first time in a place like this. She couldn't help wondering whether gambling was really as exciting as people claimed.
"Anyone else placing bets? Please do so now."
A waitress beside the dealer smiled.
Su Ming casually tossed his ten-yuan chip onto Big.
Then he folded his arms and waited with a confident smile.
"You're betting already? Aren't you going to watch a few rounds first?"
Xia Lina asked.
"No need. I won't lose anyway."
Su Ming grinned.
"Really? You're that confident?"
"Of course."
"Fine. But if you lose this chip, you're coming back with me and accepting your teacher's punishment."
"No problem."
Su Ming smiled calmly.
"The key point is that I won't lose. Just watch how I make a fortune today."
"Open!"
The dealer lifted the cover.
The result was exactly what Su Ming expected.
"Damn it! Big again!"
Someone cursed unhappily.
Those who had bet correctly happily collected their winnings.
Su Ming doubled his chip from one to two.
The payout was one-to-one.
"Oh wow! You actually won!"
Xia Lina smiled in surprise.
Her beautiful face lit up with a gentle, innocent charm.
Seeing Su Ming win made her strangely happy too.
As someone who had never gambled before, this first taste of victory gave her a small thrill.
"Didn't I tell you?"
Su Ming laughed.
"I can make a fortune from a single chip. Looks like you'll have to stay here with me a little longer, Teacher."
Then he pushed both chips onto Big again.
Everything looked casual, but he knew he would win.
Xia Lina pouted.
"Why are you betting Big again? It just came up Big. How could it possibly be Big twice?"
"Teacher, are you worried?"
"W-Worried? Of course not!"
She pretended to be angry.
"I'd rather you lose quickly so I can drag you back."
Su Ming found it amusing.
She was clearly enjoying herself but insisted on acting upset.
Women really were impossible to understand.
"Congratulations. Big wins."
The bunny-girl dealer smiled.
"Damn it! What kind of garbage is this? Big every time!"
One gambler cursed and stormed off.
Su Ming smiled and collected his winnings.
For the next several minutes, he never lost once.
His chips grew from one to one thousand.
That was 10,000 yuan.
Watching this, Xia Lina stood frozen in shock.
After a long moment, she finally recovered.
Looking at Su Ming as if he were some legendary gambling king, she asked:
"How are you this good? What gambling technique are you using?"
"I don't have any gambling technique."
Su Ming shrugged.
He didn't have gambling skills.
He simply had a superpower far more powerful than any gambling skill.
Xia Lina didn't believe him.
How could someone win over ten thousand yuan without losing a single round if they weren't incredibly skilled?
"Come on. Let's go to the high-stakes table and win a million or two before we leave."
Su Ming smiled.
He led her toward the largest gambling area in the casino.
There were far more people gathered there.
Each round involved bets totaling hundreds of thousands—or even millions.
Su Ming only had ten thousand yuan in chips, which was just enough to participate.
At this table, the minimum bet was ten thousand yuan per round.
That was why he had abandoned the smaller table.
One bet here was worth hundreds elsewhere.
Without hesitation, he pushed all ten thousand yuan onto the table.
He activated his ability again.
Everything remained completely under his control.
He could not lose.
Ten thousand became twenty thousand.
Twenty became forty.
Forty became eighty.
Eighty became one hundred sixty.
As high-value chips piled up in front of him, his winnings quickly exceeded two million yuan.
Not once had he lost.
By now, casino staff had taken notice.
Many gamblers nearby looked at him with envy.
Others simply admired him.
Incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
Su Ming remained calm.
At that moment, a casino manager approached with a smile.
"Sir, would you be interested in playing on the second floor?"
The second floor wasn't for ordinary casino guests.
It was reserved for wealthy businessmen and high rollers who gambled with astonishing sums of money.
Su Ming blinked.
"Me? Can I?"
He only had two million yuan in chips.
Was that enough?
The manager nodded politely.
"Certainly. A seat just opened up. If you're interested, you can head upstairs now."
Su Ming was about to agree.
But Xia Lina immediately objected.
"No!"
"You're not going."
"At first it was one yuan, then ten yuan, then ten thousand. What's next? Millions?"
"If this keeps going, I absolutely won't let you continue."
"Now I finally understand why gamblers never want to leave."
"They always want more money."
"They become obsessed and stop thinking clearly."
"Really? I'm not thinking clearly?"
Su Ming asked.
"Yes!"
"Right now all you can think about is money."
"Come with me. We're leaving. You are not staying here another minute."
Grabbing his arm, Xia Lina dragged him toward the exit.
Su Ming could only smile helplessly.
"Wait, wait. At least let me cash in my chips first."
He turned apologetically toward the manager.
"Sorry. Looks like I can't join after all. You'll have to find someone else."
The manager smiled knowingly.
"I understand."
He could clearly see Su Ming's predicament.
Meanwhile, Xia Lina secretly regretted ever letting him gamble that first ten-yuan chip.
If she hadn't kept such a close eye on him, he might already have become completely addicted.
