7 Bet Anyhow, Count It On Me if You Lose

Uncle Lin was feeling a little light-headed. He squinted for a long time and could not remember what he was here for.

Lin Xiaoxi could not watch any longer. She spoke up for Old Lin. "So my dad heard that you will be traveling, and he wants you to bring me along. I just graduated from high school, and my family wants me to go out and take a look at the outside world. With you around, they feel more assured."

"Right!"

Uncle Lin, who was almost drunk, slammed the table. He was full of energy.

Li Yao found something odd.

Why are they handing her to him?

Can't Uncle and Aunt Lin bring Lin Xiaoxi? Has something gone wrong in the Lin Family?

Li Yao could not stop thinking about it. The person who could be a great source of wealth to him was the eldest daughter of the Lin Family. How could he not agree? So he wanted to clarify his doubts, but before he could even speak up, his mother pushed his head towards his plate and immediately answered. "Easy! Our Big Yao agrees!"

Li Yao was stunned. "???"

Do I have any place in this house?!

He struggled to look up from the plate and glared at his mother. "Uncle Lin, I am going to Macau, and I'm leaving tomorrow. You need an EEP for that. You can't get it done so soon."

Uncle Lin waved. "We've already done her passport and EEP. We're just waiting for it to be put to use!"

"…" Li Yao was speechless.

Uncle Lin's face was red. He was a little confused. "Yao, when is your flight booked for? I'll buy tickets for the same flight. Uncle Lin is rich! I don't lack any money!"

He slammed the table and ranted about how he did not need more money.

He had really drunk too much.

Seeing the current situation, his father stopped giving him more beer. Anyway, they had gotten what they wanted. He quickly made his mother serve some hot soup to get him to become sober.

When Uncle Lin, who was full from the food and beer left the Li House, the smile on his mother's face disappeared in an instant. She expected better from Li Yao, and she poked him on the head. "You useless thing! Mom has already paved a road for you, why are you pushing it away? Look at your own family background, why won't you fall for such a great lady like theirs? Old Li, do we have some big plot of land?"

Old Li lay on the sofa and touched his full belly. He squinted. "What land? From where? Why do I not know of it?"

"Look at yourself!"

His mother yelled and went to clean up the table.

The next day, Uncle Lin and Lin Xiaoxi brought their suitcases here. Uncle Lin said, "I've booked the flight. If you go to the airport, you just have to scan the boarding pass. Big Yao, this is Xiaoxi's travel funds, please keep it well. Things are a little busy at home now, so we can only trouble you."

Li Yao nodded.

I guess this could be considered learning abroad.

It would have been the best choice for her parents to bring her abroad and impart good values to her.

But there were many things going on with the Lin Family, so they had to trouble him.

He nodded. "Don't worry, Uncle Lin. I will surely take good care of Xiaoxi."

Lin Xiaoxi: ╮( ̄⊿̄")╭

Eh? We don't know who's going to be the one looking after who!

After final reminders, Old Li stood up and patted his butt. "Old Lin, go on with your work. I'll send the kids."

Uncle Lin smiled. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you."

"No trouble at all!"

Old Li waved and went out with Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi. After bidding goodbye to Uncle Lin downstairs, Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi got on Old Li's Volkswagen Lavida and headed towards the airport.

After some minor bumps, they finally arrived in Macau and at the hotel that they had booked.

Li Yao and Lin Xiaoxi's rooms were side by side. Li Yao was packing his items in the room and intended to visit the casinos at a later time. He was preparing to go to the Grand Lisboa Casino. It had big decks, a good reputation, and great cash flow records. There would be no low actions like those in novels. There would even be someone to protect him as he transferred the money that he won into his bank account.

All these were mentioned in the novel that he read.

As for whether it was true…

He had to see it for himself.

Just at this moment, there was a series of knocks from outside. "Li Yao, open the door."

Li Yao got up to open the door and pulled a long face. "Why aren't you calling me 'brother'?"

Lin Xiaoxi was wearing branded clothes, and she was chewing gum. She looked like some rapper. When did she change her clothes? She's really letting loose, huh?

Lin Xiaoxi said, "Li Yao, where's the money that my dad gave you?"

Li Yao replied. "What do you want?"

Lin Xiaoxi rolled her eyes. "Don't spend it, give it to me later. I'll return my dad the money. I have my own, about 20,000. It's enough for me to spend."

Li Yao was shocked. "Didn't you just graduate from high school? Where did you get all that money?"

Lin Xiaoxi smiled gleefully. "Wasn't there a world cup recently? I won it."

Li Yao took a deep breath of cold air.

Damn!

How much capital does a high school student have? 20,000? How did she even win it? Do you simply bet the exact score?

Li Yao expressed his doubts, and Lin Xiaoxi answered after pondering. "I see how verified Weibo accounts are predicting, and sometimes I follow what they say. Sometimes I go against their predictions and accidentally win so much. Tsk. Money is so easy to earn."

Hehe.

Li Yao rolled his eyes. "Don't spend your money. Your brother isn't here to spend!"

He's here to rob!

Nah, even robbing wouldn't be this quick.

He hurried Lin Xiaoxi back to her room and asked her to wear something more mature before they get stopped by someone. In Macau, the age restriction for entrance was 21, but they did not stop everyone. They only stopped the people who looked young… This made a lot of overage ladies put on makeup to look young so that they could get stopped at the entrance of the casinos and then post their experience on TikTok to show off.

Ha. Girls.

But Lin Xiaoxi refused. She questioned. "You're here to gamble? Can you?"

Li Yao's heart twitched. He looked at the big and soft bed. Whether it would work or not, one had to try.

Sorry! Sorry!

This is his close friend's younger sister. He can't mess with her.

He changed his clothes and took his wallet and important documents. Then, he said confidently, "Let's go play the lucky roulette. Bet anyhow, if you lose, count it on me!"

Lin Xiaoxi jumped from the table. "You said it!"

The so-called game of roulette consisted of a revolving wheel with small square compartments on it. The roulette wheel would rotate clockwise. After the betting time was over, the ball would pop up counterclockwise and roll on the roulette; finally, it would stop in one of the small squares. The purpose of the game was to predict which color, number, or bet number combination the ball would stay in.

Betting straight on the number yields the greatest returns. 1 to 35. Which means they could win 35 times of what they bet!

This was Li Yao's goal.

With his current abilities, only this kind of betting suited him.

In the Grand Lisboa Casino, there were densely packed gaming tables. They had all types of games such as poker, mahjong, card nine, slot machines, and fishing machines. People with different preferences were very focused on all different gaming tables.

Here, wealth and greed were intertwined. They rotted together, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

Enough to make one forget about the concept of time.

And in the big ups and downs of sudden gains and losses, all the adrenaline that was secreted in the gamblers was maximized. They could sense the reality of this world. Only at this moment… did they feel like they were alive.

Li Yao had already been observing the lucky roulette and seen a few people striking rich. He also saw people lose all their money.

In such a messy atmosphere, Li Yao was exceptionally clear.

Finally, he no longer just observed. The moment the roulette spun, he released his magic abruptly…
