She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!
Chapter 499 - 498: Infinite Stream Cannon Fodder: Holiday Cruise 5
"1/10 price!" Bai Chao said with a straight face, not feeling at all that it was a problem to offer such a steep discount.
Ah Chen smiled and said, "Alright, if there’s any trouble, I’ll definitely come to you."
But she really didn’t need it.
Actually, Bai Chao knew that she didn’t need it either. She was very capable, far more so than he was back in the day, never seen in a fluster.
He offered her a 1/10 price, with genuine sincerity.
Over the years, he had occasionally given some adventurers favorable treatment. For someone of his level, it was permissible to care for adventurers he particularly admired. This place needed people, especially those with good temperament and wisdom, which the Main God hoped would stay forever.
But a 1/10 price truly hadn’t been given before.
Ah Chen and Bai Chao went to the restaurant, and indeed, the food was more delicious than the restaurant they ate at at noon.
As darkness fell, Bai Chao didn’t say much more and escorted her to the door of her room, instinctively cautioning, "Don’t come out tonight."
Despite knowing how capable she was, he couldn’t help it.
That night was quite peaceful, the warnings had stated that the night was dangerous, so presumably, no one went courting danger.
The next day, Ah Chen woke up as soon as dawn broke.
She still only carried her purse as she left the room, noticeably feeling the room card had become grayer. After she had breakfast, the room card slowly disappeared from her hand.
Ah Chen didn’t hesitate much and went to the game room.
Today’s manager did not refuse her entry but instead asked her, "Does the guest want to exchange chips?"
"How does the exchange work?" Ah Chen asked.
The manager said, "100 yuan can be exchanged for one chip."
"Alright, let’s exchange for 50 chips," Ah Chen said, which should be enough for her. She wouldn’t allow herself to lose, knowing winning would certainly have advantages.
She already thought about what to play, just betting on size, simple and fast, winning chips quickly.
She had a total of ten thousand yuan in hand, leaving some room for the end. She believed many others shared her thoughts.
But coming to this game room today, getting out easily wouldn’t be simple.
Unsure of how to pass the test, is it to win a few rounds, play a few games, or is there a time limit?
After exchanging chips, Ah Chen held a basket filled with chips and counted them, discovering there were 50 silver chips and 50 blue chips inside.
"How come there are fifty extra chips?" she asked the manager, but the manager only smiled, not answering the question, kindly hoping Ah Chen would have fun.
Seems like he didn’t want to reveal more to her.
Ah Chen didn’t insist, carrying the basket around the game room.
It was called a game room, but it was more like a casino, with all kinds of games available.
Ah Chen had arrived at the spot for betting on size but didn’t rush to start. She waited ten minutes to see if there were any further hints.
She didn’t wait long, perhaps because all the adventurers had arrived, a voice devoid of emotion sounded over the broadcast, "Presumably, everyone has exchanged chips, now try them out. If you can win five rounds, a generous reward awaits."
The adventurers’ faces turned heavy, win five rounds? It didn’t seem like much, but many here hadn’t played these games much, the chips in their hands were few, and winning five rounds wasn’t easy. Plus, there were many more games ahead, perhaps needing money, so none dared to exchange all of their money for chips.
Like Ah Chen, they only exchanged half their money.
After confirming there were no more hints, Ah Chen stood by, observing for a few minutes before preparing to act. For her first bet, she placed on small, putting the entire basket on it.
She didn’t use her sense to penetrate the dice tower but simply listened to the sound. For someone who had lived for an unknown number of years, these little things were truly not difficult.
The dice tower opened, and indeed, it was small.
As a new game started, she again chose to bet on small, still putting all her chips up, with no intention of holding back. The dice-shaking NPC couldn’t control a twitch at the corner of his mouth, wondering where this Immortal came from.
Second game, it was indeed small.
Ah Chen started to draw some attention, as she placed her third bet, some gathered around, though didn’t have time to follow her bet.
Third game, again Ah Chen won.
Fourth game, many people were following her bet.
She didn’t mind, observing was their luck.
Effortlessly winning five rounds, Ah Chen had amassed a big basket of chips, and already a server approached to serve her. Though unsure if these chips had any use for them, she grabbed a handful to tip them.
Seeing the server’s face smile broadly, evidently satisfied, Ah Chen knew that obtaining chips benefited these servers too.
At this moment, another seemingly higher-ranking person approached, asking Ah Chen if she wanted to play something else.
Like casinos outside, you win and want to leave, they’ll surely try to stop you.
Of course, if she insisted on leaving, they probably wouldn’t forcibly stop her.
But she couldn’t lose, so why not play with them? After all, if she left, she’d have to find another place to play.
So, Ah Chen was invited to a room upstairs, filled entirely with NPCs who seemed to be playing mighty characters, from gentle and refined to fiercely aggressive, and even lazy playboys.
They brought her up here, so she didn’t hold back.
"Didn’t she already win five rounds? She’s still going up? Now would be the best time to leave to avoid any unforeseen events. If she wants to leave, I don’t think these people would stop her much."
"Her gambling skills are formidable, she must be confident to dare go up."
"Formidable gambling skills are one thing, but fear those above might cheat; this is a complete casino simulation. I don’t believe such circumstances don’t exist."
Indeed, someone did cheat in the room, caught by Ah Chen in real time.
Facing Ah Chen’s subtle smile, the cheating NPC secretly lamented, where did this psycho come from? They used to rely on this move to trap adventurers here, yet she discovered it outright, and he didn’t even catch her in action.
Running into a hard nut!
The cheating NPC forfeited all his chips to Ah Chen.
Meanwhile, the theatrics here were substantial, taking that NPC outside to publicly cut off his fingers, startling those downstairs. Upon learning a cheating NPC was caught, the adventurers were all a bit shocked.
She’s really formidable!
The vacant seat quickly got filled, and the next two rounds saw no cheating.
But in the third round, Ah Chen caught another one, saying, "You have too many unruly people here, can we play properly today?"
The crowd below saw another finger-cutting NPC, a bit numb yet subtly satisfied.
Serves them right; these NPCs aren’t they quite obnoxious? Constantly hassling them, finally someone comes to sort them out.
Ah Chen hadn’t the intention of leaving, but the manager wanted to invite her out. Inviting her up was meant to win back the chips she held, driving her to total loss. They were so confident because their own planned to cheat.
But it was caught.
She seemed uninclined to leave.
As the saying goes, easy to invite the gods, hard to send them away.
