Calculating the size of the dice by sound is not something just anyone can do. Chen Haoxuan did not take the money off the gambling table; it was clear he wanted to raise the stakes, starting with a capital of ten thousand plus another ten thousand he had just won, totaling twenty thousand Renminbi.
Watching Chen Haoxuan and his group gamble, Liu Junfeng felt envious. They were betting tens of thousands at a time; that kind of boldness and charisma was beyond him. Even if he had several thousand Renminbi, he wouldn't dare to gamble it all at once, unlike Chen Haoxuan, who casually tossed out ten thousand Renminbi without batting an eye.
"Small."
Chen Haoxuan won again. To avoid drawing too much attention, he pocketed the two ten-thousand Renminbi chips that the dealer had given him. These chips could be exchanged for cash at the counter or transferred; cash was also an option.
After winning two rounds in a row, Yang Lin couldn't sit still anymore. He felt envious and decided to follow Chen Haoxuan's bets.
His choice proved to be correct; by following Chen Haoxuan's lead, he won right away. Liu Junfeng couldn't help but pull out a hundred yuan to place a bet alongside Chen Haoxuan. To keep others from realizing he could hear the size of the dice, Chen Haoxuan often pretended to lose intentionally; he would lose small amounts and win big, gradually accumulating his winnings.
Yang Lin lost track of his limits. Excited and frustrated, he kept betting large amounts, which led him to unknowingly lose all his money.
Turning to Chen Haoxuan, Yang Lin awkwardly said, "Xuan, can you lend me some money?"
"Your luck isn't good today; you shouldn't gamble," Chen Haoxuan replied. It wasn't that he was stingy; it was just that Yang Lin would gamble away whatever amount he borrowed. Chen Haoxuan would rather give him several thousand directly later than lend him money now.
"Just one thousand, just one thousand will do. Please? I promise I'll pay you back tomorrow," Yang Lin pleaded.
Seeing Yang Lin's gambling demeanor, Chen Haoxuan thought that once they returned home, he should give him some lessons. If things continued like this, Yang Lin would inevitably become a gambling addict. To temporarily silence Yang Lin, Chen Haoxuan handed him one thousand yuan.
After gambling for over an hour on high-low games, Chen Haoxuan left to try other games: Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, Dou Di Zhu, Slot Machines… He nearly played through all the games available in the casino.
At two in the morning, Chen Haoxuan and his friends finally left the casino and came out of the nightclub. Yang Lin couldn't help but ask Chen Haoxuan, "Xuan, I saw you had good luck today! How much did you win?"
"Not much, just over five hundred thousand," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
"Wow, this guy is infuriating! Not only did I lose all the money I had on me, but I also owe you RMB!" Yang Lin said sadly.
"Don't be discouraged; I've already won back what you lost. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow," Chen Haoxuan comforted him, patting Yang Lin on the shoulder.
Upon hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Yang Lin waved his hand and said, "No, no, no... I lost that money myself; how can I let you pay for it?"
After Chen Haoxuan explained, Yang Lin reluctantly accepted his kindness. He was amazed by Chen Haoxuan's hearing and intellect; calculating based on sound required a great deal of mental effort! At the same time, Yang Lin realized that the dealer often manipulated the game, turning wins into losses for those who were originally winning. After listening to Chen Haoxuan, Yang Lin vowed never to gamble again.
Liu Junfeng, being the Student Council President, was naturally sharper than most. He followed Chen Haoxuan's betting strategy closely and quickly understood his intentions. He began to imitate Chen Haoxuan's approach of betting small to win big. As a result, he put in one hundred yuan and won over ten thousand.
All of them had bet alongside Chen Haoxuan; while Liu Junfeng won, he was the only one who lost, which made him feel quite embarrassed.
By the time Chen Haoxuan returned to his place, it was already three o'clock. Exhausted, he collapsed into bed and fell asleep immediately.
The next day, after Chen Yina prepared breakfast, she went to call Chen Haoxuan. However, he just stayed in his room and said he wasn't going to class today. Chen Yina felt disappointed; she wanted to share the good news that her acne and scars were fading with him!
Chen Haoxuan slept straight through until the afternoon. When he finally got up and washed his face and brushed his teeth, he went out to eat. After finishing his meal, he returned to New City University because he wanted to look up more information related to electronics.
When Chen Haoxuan arrived at the library, he selected the books he needed and took them to his usual spot from yesterday to read slowly. As he set down one of the books, he noticed that the notebook he had looked at yesterday was still there. "Hmm, this seems newer than yesterday," Chen Haoxuan muttered to himself as he picked it up. Upon opening it, he found that it was filled entirely with question-and-answer items.
On the first page of the notebook, it read, "Mysterious Good Person, I hope you can help me answer these questions." Chen Haoxuan smiled and said, "Alright! I'll help you out!" He answered Zhang Beining's questions with his views on life.
Chen Haoxuan spent ten minutes answering all of Zhang Beining's inquiries. Once he was done, he began to read his book.
Two hours later, Chen Haoxuan left the library and called Chen Yina before taking a ride back to Chen Family Village. Chen Haoxuan now had over seven hundred thousand. If he sold the stones he had at home and the handmade dolls he started making a long time ago, he would have one million Renminbi. He could open a small factory, produce items, and have Zhang Tianqi help him sell them, which would solve most of his problems.
Not long after Chen Haoxuan left, Zhang Beining returned to the library. She had already come four or five times that day just to see if the mysterious person had helped her answer her questions. When she opened her notebook, she found that all her questions had been answered. Zhang Beining read through them carefully and when she reached the last one, she couldn't help but read aloud: "If you want happiness, don't think too much, because the more you know, the more hypocritical your life will become."
Holding her notebook, Zhang Beining went to find the librarian to inquire about who had sat in the spot where she left her notebook. The librarian's response did not satisfy her; he told her that many people had sat there before, but one person stood out in her memory—Chen Haoxuan. He had stayed for over two hours, but she hadn't seen him take Zhang Beining's notebook.
As Zhang Beining left the library, she frowned and muttered to herself, "Chen Haoxuan? No way! Although he's not as timid as before, he definitely doesn't have such profound knowledge." Little did she know that Chen Haoxuan came from the future; one could say he had lived two lives and thus had a certain understanding of life.
Chen Haoxuan was also ranked first on the New City University Campus Heartthrob list, so it was normal for Zhang Beining to know him, especially since she was also considered a campus beauty.
