"A fifty percent discount? That sounds good. I've never been here before, so I don't really know how to play..." Su Han said. He had contacted the informant for this place before coming, but upon arrival, Su Han decided to check things out himself first.
"Mm-hmm, your first purchase can be fifty percent off, up to two thousand yuan. If you win, the money is yours. If you lose, you only lose half!"
Only lose half!
Su Han chuckled dismissively. He didn't want to lose a single cent. However, to conduct his investigation, he decided to spend two thousand yuan and play around.
"Give me two thousand worth!"
"Alright, please follow me!"
Soon, led by a scrawny man, Su Han entered the illegal casino. The place was bustling with noise. As soon as he stepped inside, the entire hall was filled with smoke, making it quite suffocating.
After exchanging his money for chips, Su Han began to look around. It was clear that this place was quite shady.
Su Han saw that many machines had very low payout rates, and most people were losing.
It was only because the environment was somewhat decent, with free cigarettes, drinks, and many brightly dressed dancers performing in the center, that the place still had good popularity.
"The information said there's a hidden soul-devouring monster here. Many people who come here for a long time end up becoming mentally incapacitated. I wonder if it's true!"
Su Han thought about the contents of the information and decided to test it himself!
Generally, as long as one performed exceptionally well, they would be invited to the VIP room, where the legendary soul-devouring monster would drain the gamblers.
"Come on, bet big or small, place your bets!"
In front of a dice table, Su Han sat down and pushed all his chips forward.
He was different from others. Through Da Hong, who was by his side, he could smell special scents, allowing him to judge the bets. With this help, Su Han quickly won the first round!
"Wow, I really didn't expect you to be so lucky, sir. You won two thousand in the first round, that's amazing!"
The scrawny man who had just sold Su Han chips immediately came over. Seeing Su Han win two thousand at once, he strongly encouraged Su Han to continue playing, as if afraid Su Han would leave immediately.
Su Han knew exactly what was going on, but he showed nothing on his face, continuing to place his bets!
"All in again!"
"Heh, this kid is really a fearless newborn calf. He's so daring. If he keeps playing like this, he'll definitely lose it all."
"Heh, let's just watch the show. It's obvious this kid is a newcomer!"
The crowd bantered, and soon the results were out.
To their great surprise, Su Han actually won. This time, the chip count had reached 8,000, which was eight thousand yuan. The chips Su Han had won were enough for many people to earn in a year. In 2006, this amount could accomplish quite a bit.
The scrawny man's eyes lit up.
He quickly whispered, "Sir, how about this? Since you're so lucky today, why don't you go play in the VIP room? That's where the big players are, winning and playing big. With your luck today, you might get rich in just a few rounds!"
Su Han shook his head. Although this was his goal, he still wanted to wait.
"I'll just play here... Heh heh."
"If you go to the VIP room, I can tell the boss to give you a girl for free today!"
Upon hearing this.
Su Han immediately showed an 'interested' look, thinking to himself that there were indeed many tricks in these illegal establishments, luring people to the VIP room where other schemes would unfold.
"Really?"
Su Han asked. His reaction immediately made the scrawny man let down his guard, and he nodded repeatedly, "Really. You can come with me to see. As long as you go to the VIP room now, I'll immediately call a pretty girl to accompany you. As long as you're here tonight, she's yours for the whole night!"
After saying that, the scrawny man waved his hand, and several female dancers came over. Although they looked like common beauties, there were one or two who were quite stunning.
Su Han chose the one who looked the most beautiful and had the best figure.
"Xiao Li, come here."
This woman's name was Xiao Li. She was a dancer here, wearing a beautiful bunny girl outfit and long stockings on her legs. She was very attractive.
"Hello, sir. My name is Xiao Li."
She seemed a bit shy. Xiao Li was likely a newcomer.
Su Han said directly, "Good, it's her!"
Following the scrawny man into the VIP room, Su Han noticed that there were significantly fewer people inside. Moreover, the people playing cards paid no attention to the entrance, as if they were engrossed. With the help of the dancers accompanying them, they puffed smoke and occasionally took a sip of wine.
"Sir, may I ask your surname?" Xiao Li asked.
Su Han chuckled and said directly, "Just call me Mr. Su. Xiao Li, I want to ask you, among those who come to play in the VIP room, do more people lose or win when they leave?"
Xiao Li heard this and fell into thought. She shook her head, "Actually, I've only been here for a few days. Please have a seat, sir. You can exchange your chips here, and then I'll introduce you to whatever you want to play."
Su Han soon entered a mahjong room!
It was clear that there were a total of ten mahjong tables in the establishment. Each table was occupied by several people, but newcomers generally received special attention.
As Su Han took his seat, a middle-aged man sat over.
After sizing Su Han up, the middle-aged man said directly, "Young man, I see you're new here. How about this, come with me to pay respects to the living immortal. I guarantee your gambling luck will be prosperous, and you'll make big money, hahaha..."
Living immortal?
Su Han was puzzled and immediately looked at the middle-aged man beside him, having a bad premonition.
"Hmm, okay."
Su Han followed immediately, calculating in his mind whether this living immortal was the legendary soul-devouring monster. Thinking of this, Su Han kicked the Lava Crystal Beast.
The Lava Crystal Beast immediately perked up, its previously lazy demeanor replaced by alertness as it looked around.
As they spoke, the man and the dog followed the middle-aged man into a small room in the backyard!
"The living immortal is inside. Offer incense to the living immortal, and I guarantee your fortune will be continuous, hahaha. Hurry in, young man!"
Su Han's lips curved into a smile. He gave Da Hong a look, and the latter immediately followed him into the small courtyard room.
