Li Jun brought three thousand yuan up the mountain, without carrying any other bank cards, and even his ID was temporarily recorded as a fake. There was a police department data entry officer who temporarily set it up like this to prevent being suspected, tracked, and caught by wrongdoers.
"Alright, a thousand yuan, that makes it fifteen hundred. Come over here, young man, here you go."
The boss smiled slightly and said, but internally he chuckled, "Another fool has been tricked. Watch how you lose everything, even your pants, and let's see how you pay up."
From the boss's years of experience, once someone enters the game, they become helplessly trapped, akin to drug addiction. The Earth Dragon Organization needs such people, and this boss is essentially an intermediary, specifically recruiting for the Earth Dragon.
"Hmm, alright."
Li Jun wasn't worried about prevention. As for winning or losing, it didn't concern him at all. After throwing down a thousand yuan, he took the fifteen hundred in bets and started moving towards various gambling tables.
"Hey, young man, you don't get it yet. Let me guide you for a few rounds."
The boss was a seasoned veteran and couldn't let Li Jun gamble on his own. If he truly didn't know how to play and lost everything in one go, he definitely wouldn't be in the mood to gamble further. But if he won the first few rounds, he would feel that making money was easy, and he'd continue to gamble.
No doubt, the casino boss was a master of psychology.
In many instances, bosses are like psychologists; they understand your psyche so well that they've already set the trap for you, and once you fall into it, you can't extricate yourself.
"Oh, alright." Li Jun couldn't act too disinterested, as it might arouse suspicion. He decided it was best to follow the regular routine.
"Haha, don't worry. I'm an expert; I guide all newcomers. You don't want to start by losing money, do you? After this, it's all up to your Qi. You know, I'm the casino boss. If I kept helping you earn money, wouldn't I go bankrupt quickly? Don't you agree?" the boss laughed heartily.
"Yeah, true. No worries, I'm just playing around. Lead me for a couple of rounds then." Li Jun didn't want to say much more and directly agreed.
The boss walked over to a table where they were playing a dice game, which was the easiest for newcomers to get into and also their favorite.
He pointed to the gambling board in front and said, "Alright, this is the dice game, and the odds are quite high. My estimations have about an 80% success rate, so for this round, bet on high; you're sure to win."
"Sure to win? Really? If so, I'll bet all I have," Li Jun acted like a greedy gambler, which made the boss absolutely certain.
"Haha, you're funny. I said there's a chance; I can't guarantee it. If you bet everything and lose, what then?" the boss smiled wryly. This guy was genuinely greedy, but he liked greedy people.
"Alright then."
Li Jun didn't say much more and placed five hundred yuan on high. As the dealer pressed the button, the numbers started to roll. Damn, it was just like a lottery.
However, there were quite a few people betting here, with more than a dozen surrounding the table.
Li Jun started getting into character, feeling somewhat nervous without realizing it. After all, this was gambling, and as the five-digit numbers rolled, there was a small window on the side dedicated to showing results, much like a slot machine.
"High! Got it."
The people around started to shout excitedly, but they all seemed to be veterans with both wins and losses. Li Jun, on the other hand, was like a novice, not even realizing he won.
"Haha, it's a high, young man, you've won!"
The boss noticed that Li Jun showed no excitement, indicating that he probably didn't realize he had won.
"Huh? I... I won?" Li Jun said in surprise.
"Yes, you won; see, listening to me wasn't wrong, right? Now, bet on high again, add more," the boss found his plan going smoothly and wanted Li Jun to taste more success, as only then he'd become more addicted.
"Oh? Double the bet. Isn't that a bit risky?" Li Jun asked, stunned.
"Haha, trust me, just bet; you definitely won't lose," the boss said confidently.
"Oh, alright, then I'll bet a thousand yuan."
Li Jun didn't hesitate further. Procrastinating wouldn't be favorable here.
This time, he just followed the plan, grooming himself to become a compulsive gambler, or else he'd be closely followed.
After tensely waiting for ten minutes, suddenly someone shouted, "High again, it won!"
Li Jun rejoiced, seeing the display screen showing 32, knowing it was high. "Haha, it really won. Boss, what do I bet on next? Should I increase the bet?"
"Increase it, your Qi is strong right now; you have to increase your bet and continue with high," the boss said firmly.
This time, Li Jun bet everything he had because he believed he would win again. If he were truly a gambler, he wouldn't leave.
Without allure, if the third round is lost, who would dare continue?
Another high opened, "Is today's high bewitched? Damn, I've won three consecutive times, haha, I'm rich now," one of the nearby gamblers excitedly shouted.
"Hey, you won again. Alright, you have a good amount now; play slowly," the boss guided for three rounds and couldn't remain, so he turned to leave.
"Boss, hey, don't go yet. What should I bet on for this round? Tell me one more time, and I'll bet it all," Li Jun appeared insatiable and said.
"..."
The casino boss was speechless. This guy was truly greedy, but that's precisely what he liked, as he feared no greed, but greed inevitably leads to downfall.
So he reluctantly smiled and said, "Alright, continue with high, but I advise you not to bet so much. I'm not very clear on this round, so you handle it yourself. Alright, I'll leave now, play slowly; there are other guests to attend to."
What the boss said made sense, as there's more than one person in a casino. He couldn't risk losing that much business for just one person.
Therefore, Li Jun turned back and started playing on his own. Honestly, gambling is truly enticing. It was a thousand yuan just moments ago, and now it's seven or eight thousand; no wonder it's so tempting.
"Alright, let's bet on high… um, how much? Three thousand it is," Li Jun mumbled to himself.
A few minutes later, it opened, and surprisingly he lost this time. Recalling the boss's words earlier, he had warned not to bet much; it was his own decision.
"Huh… what to bet for this round?"
Li Jun looked around, saw everyone was betting on low, so he went over and asked, "Hey big brother, is there a big chance for low this round?"
"Damn, how should I know? If I did, I'd bet my possessions. Silly," a bald-headed man scolded.
"Huh? Alright then, I'll bet on low too." Li Jun quickly blended in with these people, and indeed won, then continued playing for half an hour.
At this moment, Li Jun was sweating heavily, left with his last one thousand yuan. It was his capital, so if he lost, it would be a loss. After some thought, he decided to follow others and bet on low.
