In the end, there were actually four people who wanted to gamble with Xiaofan. Apart from the 300,000 already bet by the young man playing dice with Xiaofan, an additional 300,000 was added to the stakes.
Xiaofan was getting into the game. Anyway, he had money on him now, and his view of money wasn't as frugal as before.
Thinking back to the days when he lived with Shen Zuimo, they would work part-time for one or two thousand yuan. Though it was tough back then, the rewards were joyful.
Now, Shen Zuimo had left him seven million, and Ouyang Xiong also gave him one million. He had money. But Xiaofan couldn't find the same happiness as before.
The challenge competition was ongoing. Everyone knew that although the six stages didn't seem difficult, clearing them all within two minutes was quite a challenge.
It was merely a probability problem, and an average person couldn't figure out how to clear them in such a short time.
For instance, the first young man to bet with Xiaofan bent over and touched the ground with his left hand, pinched his nose with his right, and spun around twenty times. His sense of balance vanished. If he tried to go through that narrow challenge track now, he was likely to either step out of bounds or knock down obstacles.
Yet if you waited until your head wasn't as dizzy, the two minutes would slowly tick away, and you'd still be out.
However, these fellows had experience, knowing to walk slowly while waiting for their heads to be less dizzy.
Most only made it through the third or fourth stage, with the young man who played dice with Xiaofan reaching the fifth stage. He hit the bullseye with two darts, but the third dart unexpectedly missed.
"Damn, what a pity." He said regretfully when he came out of the track, looking intent on finishing the course.
"There are five minutes left until midnight. Let's welcome tonight's last challenger. Whether the prize returns to 200,000 or this nearly a million prize goes to the final winner along with winning the beauty all depends on this challenger."
Xiaofan stepped onto the starting point of the challenge, glanced at Chen Mei'Er on stage; winning the beauty? Playing like this, sooner or later you'll get burned.
"Hey, Ye Xiaofan, we've all at least cleared three stages, don't get knocked out right at the start. If you do, you'll lose it all." The young man reminded jokingly.
"No problem, participation is what matters." Xiaofan smiled slowly, then prepared himself.
"First stage, spin twenty circles in place, timer starts..."
"One, two, three, four, five... "
Since he was the last one, everyone naturally started cheering for Xiaofan, while the young men sat with their legs crossed, eager to see Xiaofan lose and have to pay.
However, after twenty spins, Xiaofan passed the challenge track straight and jumped over all obstacles, then easily solved three math problems. Only thirty seconds had passed.
Saying it was a fluke that he could walk a straight line after spinning might be plausible, but those obstacles weren't easy to bypass. Accidentally knocking one down would mean immediate disqualification, but this guy just breezed through them.
Someone earlier wasted all their time on the mental math in the third stage, stuck on a problem like seventy-eight times eighty-seven, ending up eliminated.
In the fourth stage, the punching machine only allowed one hit; if you're too hasty and don't gather enough strength, you can't score above the set points.
Yet, Xiaofan landed a casual punch over eight hundred points, then advanced directly to the fifth stage.
The final two stages weren't just a matter of luck. From four meters out, hitting the bullseye wasn't something reliant on sheer fortune. The young man earlier managed to hit two darts on the board simply because he practiced secretly at home.
But hitting three darts on such a small red bullseye from four meters away was incredibly difficult, and the distance wasn't short.
'Thud, thud, thud.'
Three darts landed accurately on the bullseye. The audience was momentarily stunned.
Just a minute had passed; that meant if this guy guessed the dice points right at the end, then, he'd clear the course.
The young man's group almost forgot their bet with Xiaofan; they gathered nervously around, recalling how many times he hit correctly in the dice game earlier. Would he still be that lucky this time?
"Hey, Ye Xiaofan, go for it. You said you could see through the dice cup. We're rooting for you." A 300,000 wager was nothing; they loved the thrill, and if Xiaofan indeed cleared the course, tonight was going to be fun.
"Go, go..."
"Shh, don't make noise. Don't make noise..." Xiaofan was seriously listening to the dice cup's sound; if disturbed by noise, he wouldn't be able to hear a thing.
"Okay, please state the total number of points inside." The dealer stopped shaking and asked Xiaofan.
Upon hearing, Xiaofan curved a slightly intriguing smile and turned his gaze to Chen Mei'Er not far away.
"If I clear the final stage, the money up there is mine, right? And her, she's mine tonight, right?" Xiaofan deliberately asked Chen Mei'Er, suddenly indulging in playful curiosity about whether this woman would back out later...
"Everyone knows I, Chen Mei'Er, stand by my word. As long as you guess right, tonight I'm yours." Chen Mei'Er replied loudly.
"You all heard that. Alright then..."
"Ye Xiaofan, there's no time, hurry and guess." The young men urged. Having already lost, they cheered for Xiaofan too.
"Three ones, three points." Xiaofan loudly declared to the dealer.
And at that moment, the dealer opened the dice cup. Sure enough, three red dots appeared inside.
"Wow."
The entire room erupted in commotion. To think there was really such a person, breezing through every stage and seemingly without effort.
"Haha, this guy is seriously something else." The young men laughed out loud too, their initial desire to tease completely dissipated.
Convinced, they were completely convinced. Each instantly transferred the lost amount to the account Xiaofan mentioned earlier. A bet is a bet; losing it was a basic principle, no need to back out. But this showed they just liked to play; their character was still alright.
However, while these young men were willing to lose gracefully, what would Chen Mei'Er do in the end?
"There's 947,000 in this card. This is the casino's VIP card. As agreed, tonight I'm yours. Let's go..." Chen Mei'Er, expressionless, came to Xiaofan's side, handed him the two cards, then gently wrapped her arm around his wrist.
