001. The Strongest Lucky System

John Doe woke up abruptly.

He was about to see who dared to disturb his sleep, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a magnificent casino.

He froze for a few seconds.

If he remembered correctly, he should be dead.

A thought flashed subconsciously in John Doe's mind:

Is it possible? Could I have been reborn?

Soon, he confirmed it—he was indeed reborn. And not just anywhere, but in a casino!

In his previous life, John was a young and promising CEO. Due to a careless friendship, he was tricked into gambling away his entire fortune and ended up owing hundreds of millions.

In desperation, he jumped off a building.

He had sworn he would never step foot in a casino again!

And now, of all places, he was reborn in one?

John sighed helplessly.

"God, are you trying to play me to death?"

Shaking his head, he glanced around this den of sin.

Just as he was about to leave, a mechanical voice sounded in his ear:

"Ding, congratulations to the host. The Good Luck System is being bound."

"1%... 20%... 50%... 70%... 99%..."

"Ding, congratulations to the host. Good Luck System binding is successful."

"Ding, the only function of this system is to increase the host's luck to 100%!"

John was stunned.

Sure, he said he'd never step into a casino again, but... two, three, four steps wouldn't hurt, right?

This system—it was practically tailor-made for him!

John adjusted his clothes and took two steps forward when he realized a serious problem.

He didn't have any money.

Frowning, he muttered to himself, "Is my rise to fortune going to end before it even begins? What about this 100% good luck system?"

Just as John was cursing in his heart, he felt something under his foot.

He bent down and picked it up...

Two hundred dollars!

"Whoa! This luck is amazing!"

With renewed confidence, John walked into the casino with his head held high.

...

The casino was not only large and luxurious but also offered a wide variety of games.

Although John wasn't a veteran gambler, he knew that before stepping fully into the world of gambling, one must pass three mental checkpoints.

If you could clear those, you'd do well today. Otherwise, it was best to go home with your remaining money.

But now that John had a Good Luck System, what did he care about checkpoints?

Without hesitation, he walked up to a game table and sat down, straightening his clothes.

"Shall we play?" he asked casually.

For a moment, no one responded. John looked up.

Surprised!

Sitting directly across from him was none other than Black Widow, from the Avengers!

Could this be... the Marvel Universe?

"Sure," Black Widow replied with a smile.

John blinked in surprise. He didn't know if it was the system or his rebirth, but Black Widow's words were automatically translated for him.

"What would you like to play?" she asked, her eyes gleaming with amusement.

John cleared his throat, pushing aside his surprise, and responded lightly, "Whatever you like."

Black Widow smiled. "Then, let's play Blackjack."

She waved her hand, signaling the dealer to deal the cards.

As soon as they began playing, a crowd gathered around, whispering in hushed tones.

The cards were dealt to John, but he kept his eyes on Black Widow, unable to look away.

She truly was a stunning woman—flawless skin, a perfect figure, and a dangerously alluring charm.

John had seen many beautiful women in his life, but Black Widow stood out as exceptional in every aspect.

"Five hundred thousand," Black Widow said, snapping John back to reality.

He was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but think: No wonder she hangs around Tony Stark, her bets are just as extravagant!

And this was all in U.S. dollars!

After placing her bet, Black Widow glanced at John.

With a sheepish grin, John placed the few chips he had on the table. "Two hundred dollars."

"Pfft..."

The crowd couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Seriously? Betting only 200? Did he lose everything already?"

"I thought he was going to be some high roller, turns out he's just a nobody."

"Yeah, better head home before you lose your shirt too."
