After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

Chapter 86 - 86 Making a Choice Again



86 Making a Choice Again

Whether the 25% would jump to 100%, or the 75% would drop to 0%, hinged entirely on this last card.

The cheers died down, leaving everyone staring plainly at the last unopened card.

...

In this tense atmosphere, the dealer pinched the last card and slowly flipped it.

One could almost hear the impatient tapping of shoes all around the venue.

As the dealer’s finger tapped the table, everyone saw the card clearly.

The 3 of Hearts!

The points added up exactly to 11!

The boy at the table and the patrons in room no. 9 will split all the chips between them!

Sounds of regret and swearing rang out from below. Everyone else in the glass rooms turned to look at room no. 9 in unison.

Even the way Song Wenqi’s lackey looked at Lu Ning changed.

When room no. 9 had chosen ’11’, their initial reactions were almost the same as everyone else below. But now, it was this impossible number ’11’ which allowed them to win.

The corners of Lu Ning’s lips curled up, her smile hidden behind the mask. She inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.

She had taken a risk, as she was actually uncertain about the last card.

The dealer’s technique was too brisk, so she was unsure if it was ‘8’, or whether it was simply an afterimage of ‘3’ that made her see ‘8’.

In the end, she decided to trust her gut.

The atmosphere downstairs was tense and mercurial as the staff distributed to the boy his share of the chips. He sidled his body sideways and tilted his head upwards slightly, up towards room no. 9.

Lu Ning also glanced in his direction, and their eyes met.

The next round soon began.

Almost everyone present had their eyes glued on the dealer’s hands. However, regardless of how much effort they put into memorizing the cards during the unveiling, they were unable to recall the cards once they were covered; there was not even a need for the dealer to shuffle the deck.

Furthermore, he was able to perform all kinds of fancy shuffles to dazzle the spectators.

This round, the dealer selected the four cards closer to him from the right and placed them in their respective positions.

When it was time to place their bets, everyone looked at room no. 9 in concert.

It’s a coincidence, it must’ve been a coincidence…

Thinking that, the patrons hesitantly placed their bets on the points they wanted.

Almost all of them bet on points above 15; only a brave few bet on points between 10 and 15.

As for the boy who changed his bet in the previous round, he actually pushed all his chips onto the smallest point which no one had ever chosen.

It was as though he was being contrary again. Before everyone could be surprised at his choice, the large screen displayed the choices of everyone in the glass rooms.

The bet of room no. 9 naturally attracted a lot of attention.

And they actually chose ‘4’ points!

This was the smallest number on the gambling table; the probability of it was even lower than 2%, at 0.1%.

This meant that all four cards had to be Aces.

And this bet happened to coincide with the boy’s.

The first whistle blew.

Within two seconds, three people bucked the trend and thrust their chips to ‘4’.

Everyone else was wavering, but none of them moved because they did not believe it.

The chance of all four cards having the same points was way too low. It’s impossible!

However, if all four cards were of the same points, the payout for this round would be double; it was a golden opportunity. Before the second whistle sounded, another three people had bet on ‘4’.

They chose to take the gamble.

The remaining patrons chose to keep their current bets. It was a tantalizing prospect, but if they blindly followed them, not only would their payout not double, they would also lose everything they had. After careful consideration, they chose not to move.
