Chapter 1519: Chapter 488: Big Number Tendency

Outside the casino, it indeed has a mechanical world style.

But inside the casino, it appears extremely traditional. Wen Xishu, upon entering, almost thought he had arrived in Macau from his previous life.

Of course, the casino is extremely luxurious, with a golden splendor that catches the eye.

The hall is an infinitely extending vertical space with no floors. If there’s any difference from a traditional casino, it’s probably that the game tables are in a floating state.

There are many guests.

There seems to be a lucky winner tonight.

The giant screen in the hall is showing the recent results of this lucky person.

In a card game, this person, who was almost just a low-level mechanical life of a c-grade body at first, pawned the memories from when he was a human to exchange for nineteen chips.

These nineteen chips surprisingly won eleven thousand.

Eleven thousand is enough to upgrade from a c-grade bottom-level mech body to the latest humanoid body.

The thrill is indeed significant.

What Wen Xishu would have to work three hundred years for to exchange for a humanoid body, this person accomplished in just one card game.

And this guy is still winning. Now, his Mechanical Coin chips have already piled up to nineteen thousand.

It can be said his life has been completely changed.

The people in the casino, however, appear extremely calm. Indeed, the casino relies on commissions; winning and losing against clients isn’t their main income. But this doesn’t mean they can let a guest win continually unchecked.

They will check to see if a guest with unusually good luck has hacked into the casino’s random simulation terminal.

They will thoroughly inspect whether the guest is hiding any interference devices.

However, this guest has only won a little over ten thousand Mechanical Coins, which isn’t enough for the casino to treat him as a threat.

The calmness of the casino staff comes from having witnessed many such "miracles."

And also from...

Once people get a windfall, they tend to become addicted to that feeling.

You may win today, but tomorrow you’ll eventually give it back.

Win once and then stop?

Such stories are rare.

The Non-human Association eradicates humanity, but it retains a crucial thing—greed.

Wen Xishu also noticed the casino staff. Inside the casino, the service personnel were all uniformly modeled, aesthetically perfect Mechanical Bodies, known as Fate Attendants.

They wore well-fitted white uniforms, with smiles calculated precisely, their mouths curved upwards at 27 degrees, resetting after 8 seconds.

Their eyes never focus on any gambler, but rather gaze at the real-time value assessment data above the gamblers’ heads.

Since all Mechanical Bodies rely on various applications, and all applications require a heap of permissions—

Users have no privacy to speak of. They can know various properties of users and the tendencies of their financial management.

For example, Wen Xishu is now seen through by a Fate Attendant.

"Sir, you are a respectable person. To have so much in savings in this city, you surely are not a person who likes to gamble."

"You are the kind of person who lives steadily. I shouldn’t advise you, but actually, your best choice now is to leave here."

"Believe me, there are winners who come here, but they are, after all, the minority."

Wen Xishu looked at the Fate Attendant in surprise.

What sort of strategy is this?

A prelude to extolling?

They actually advised me to leave?

Wen Xishu feigned anger:

"What do you mean? Are you saying I’ll lose?"

The Fate Attendant promptly responded:

"No no no... Well, let me be honest with you. Actually, the more someone like you, diligently accumulating wealth step by step, enters the casino, the more we fear. Such accumulated fortune is something we dare not imagine."

"I can sense the temperature of your processor rising. It’s evident you truly desire to change your fate. How about this, give it a shot. Perhaps you are suited to play the Fate Roulette with the highest stakes."

The roulette is a classic game, with rules that I won’t elaborate on—it’s roughly guessing a number. Guess right, and you hit the jackpot.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment, then decided to give it a try.

The Fate Attendant secretly rejoiced; this was too easy to guide.

Wen Xishu also realized that this Fate Attendant must be thinking—this person is indeed a first-timer, too gullible, even believing in such nonsense like accumulated fortune.

However, indeed, this method of initially refusing, then claiming you have incredible fortune while feigning ignorance... easily deceives those who are arrogant.

From the start, Wen Xishu deliberately behaved arrogantly, and likely because of this, the casino began arranging attendants to analyze his character profile and then implement corresponding scenarios.

Wen Xishu could even imagine—after losing everything, the attendant would say his fortune didn’t manifest and might offer loans or something.

Presumably, this would be the beginning of an irreversible downfall.

Wen Xishu soon arrived before the Fate Roulette.

It’s actually quite similar to standard American roulette, with thirty-eight numbers on the wheel, including one to thirty-six, alongside "0" and "00."

There are numerous ways to bet on the wheel. Wen Xishu paused momentarily, noting many other Mechanical Bodies also playing the roulette.

The lucky person from earlier had also played but left after losing ten thousand Mechanical Coins.

"How do you plan to play? Would you like me to explain the rules?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

"I want to guess a number, a single number with the highest multiplier. Place my bet on number 07."

The odds for guessing a number are thirty-five to one.

This made the attendant even happier:

"Of course, no problem. I wish you good luck. If you need anything, feel free to call me. I’ll be at your service tonight."
