"How is it?"
"What do you feel?"
After taking Amy aside, Qin Xuan sat on the chair, his expression as usual as he looked at her.
It was as if he had just lost not ten million US dollars, but a pile of blank paper.
Amy opened her mouth at the words.
She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to express it.
Qin Xuan saw this, shook his head gently, and said to her, "Just now at the gambling table, you made three very fatal mistakes."
"First, being too eager for success."
As he spoke, he slowly extended one finger.
"In the seven times we bet just now, apart from the one time I deliberately changed my approach and bet on big or small, the other six times, you chose the method with the highest odds."
"For an esper who can see the final outcome, this method is not unreasonable."
"But you overlooked the presence of others."
"Your actions will not only alert the casino staff, but also draw the attention of other ill-intentioned people."
"Do you remember the people who bet with us just now?"
"What do you think their mindset was?"
"What would they think of you?"
After the first question, Amy's expression changed.
Qin Xuan paused for a moment, then extended his second finger and continued to speak to little Amy, "Second, being easily controlled by emotions."
"Before you confessed to me, you said that your teacher told you not to reveal your esper identity to outsiders."
"You did that, and you kept it a secret well."
"But think carefully about what you did just now. Although you didn't explicitly say you had clairvoyant abilities, your words and actions all revealed that you could see through the dice cup and obtain the final result of the dice game."
"Although most people in this world don't believe in superpowers, would your behavior really not attract the attention of those who are interested?"
After Qin Xuan finished speaking, Amy's expression changed again. She cautiously turned her head and saw one or two familiar figures lingering not far away.
The fear in her heart deepened with the gaze of the familiar figures, and her soft little hands began to tremble unconsciously.
"It's okay, with me here, you don't need to worry about these people."
Knowing that Amy had noticed something was amiss, Qin Xuan stopped scaring her.
He straightened his body and continued to extend his third finger to the little girl.
"As for this third mistake, it's actually very simple, and that is you trust the word 'rules' too much."
"Especially in the territory of the rule-makers."
"Las Vegas is indeed a place where gambling is legalized and relatively fair."
"But casinos are ultimately run by people."
"They can't let you touch their interests."
"That's why the scene of the dice game's outcome changing happened just now, do you understand?"
Amy: "..."
Amy had never thought about what Qin Xuan was saying.
She just thought that as long as the casino could operate openly, it would strictly abide by local laws.
She didn't realize that behind this bustling scene, there were so many hidden complexities.
"No wonder Teacher Gan said that even when I grow up, I should avoid gambling."
"So, he already knew what the casino was like behind the scenes..."
After a long silence, Amy finally understood why Qian Xing had repeatedly emphasized that she should stay away from casinos.
It turned out that he was not only afraid of her superpowers being exposed, but also afraid that she would not be able to outsmart the people behind the casino.
And when she thought about what she had done just now, Amy's cold sweat soaked her clothes.
This time, if it weren't for Brother Qin Xuan being by her side, helping her out of trouble, she would have already fallen into an irretrievable danger.
This wasn't human kindness, it was a life-saving grace!
After thinking this through, Amy recalled Qin Xuan's actions just now.
As a child who had been wandering since she was young, she was already more steady and intelligent than her peers.
With a little thought, she immediately understood Qin Xuan's good intentions.
A warm current surged through her pure, young heart.
Her gratitude towards Qin Xuan reached its peak at this moment.
"Have you figured it out?"
Seeing Amy's eyes gradually clear, Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask with a smile.
Amy nodded, her voice trembling, and said with great guilt, "I've figured it out."
"I thought everything was too simple."
"Thank you, Brother Qin Xuan, for personally accompanying me in this foolishness to help me understand these principles."
"I will never forget your kindness in this lifetime."
"Heh heh, such a wise child."
Qin Xuan cursed with a smile, feeling immensely gratified.
This little girl was pure-hearted, and her personality was also the type he liked.
If these actions today could make her life easier in the future,
Then it wouldn't be in vain for him to put so much effort into guiding her.
"Alright, since you've figured it out, let's not waste any more time here."
"Let's go."
Qin Xuan slapped his thigh and stood up from the chair, refreshed.
Amy was stunned, "Where are we going?"
"Of course, to continue gambling!"
"Ah, okay!"
"But Brother Qin Xuan, why didn't you mention greed among the three mistakes I made?"
"I've already made so much money, but I still want more."
"Greed, you say..."
"Isn't that human nature?"
"As long as you have your own bottom line and the ability to protect the wealth you've gained, what's wrong with being a little greedy?"
...
After going around, Qin Xuan and Amy eventually left the complex area.
After all, apart from the dice game, other projects either took too long or were not conducive to the use of clairvoyance.
Taking two drinks from the passing beauties, Qin Xuan heard Yuan Mengqi calling him from not far away again.
When Qin Xuan took Amy away earlier, he didn't bring Yuan Mengqi with him.
And Yuan Mengqi had already gotten tired of playing blackjack in front of her.
If Qin Xuan hadn't instructed her to stay and hold a spot before leaving, she would have already left and gone to find her other sisters.
"Thank you for your trouble, you are free now."
Taking over Yuan Mengqi's spot, Qin Xuan apologized to her with a hint of embarrassment.
Yuan Mengqi waved her hand gently, but did not leave from behind Qin Xuan.
"Sir, are you ready?"
"If so, I will begin dealing the hole cards."
After Qin Xuan was seated, the beautiful dealer Lucy looked at Qin Xuan with a smile.
This table was playing blackjack, so after all players had placed their bets, the dealer (i.e., the croupier) needed to deal two hole cards to each player (including herself).
Before coming to the casino city, Qin Xuan had specifically studied this knowledge, so he appeared calm when facing Lucy's inquiry.
First, he placed a $100 chip as a bet, then extended his right hand, signaling her to begin in a gentlemanly manner.
Lucy smiled gratefully at this and dealt two hole cards to the six players in order.
Qin Xuan took the hole cards and examined them carefully.
Three of Clubs, Six of Diamonds.
A total of nine points.
