The sound of the machine dispensing coins caught the attention of a few people at the neighboring gambling machines. Seeing that Chen默 had won so much money so quickly, they all looked at him with envy.

Chen默 chuckled at the sight but said nothing. He called the boss over and had most of the coins exchanged for paper money, keeping only about fifty coins as his gambling capital.

It was already noon, and there weren't many people around to gamble at the moment. Chen默 tidied up his coins and left the gambling room, planning to find a place for lunch and then continue in the afternoon.

Before 1 PM, Chen默 returned to the gambling room, where the number of people had increased again. Chen默 originally intended to continue winning money on the same machine, but the others seemed less interested in it and were playing other machines.

Seeing this, Chen默 quietly shifted his attention to other machines and began observing. This time, he observed five machines simultaneously, which wasn't too difficult for him.

Chen默's method was very effective; as long as one had a good memory, it could be applied to other machines as well. Chen默 wanted to earn enough money quickly to buy a computer, so he didn't plan to rely on just one machine.

After more than an hour, Chen默 had a good grasp of the five machines, but since others were playing, he couldn't just jump in. His strategy was to target the machine with the fewest players.

In the following half hour, Chen默 won over 580 yuan on two of the machines, which finally drew the intense attention of the other gamblers.

A few young men saw Chen默 win big twice and one of them couldn't help but say, "Little brother, you're pretty good! You're like a gambling god!"

This guy clearly looked like a street thug. Chen默 didn't want to provoke him and humbly smiled, "Big brother, you're flattering me. I just had good luck."

Everyone laughed at Chen默's response. Clearly, they all agreed with him, never suspecting that he had won through detailed observation and calculation, thinking he was just lucky.

One of the guys, who had probably lost a lot, heard Chen默 say he was lucky and angrily slapped the machine in front of him, cursing, "Damn it! What a lousy machine! It's swallowed hundreds of my yuan without paying out a single coin!"

Chen默 knew the machine this guy was playing was just 50 yuan away from a big payout. However, the guy had already put in nearly 500 yuan, so even if the machine paid out, he would still lose at least half of his capital.

The guy's violent action caught the attention of the game room owner, who merely glanced at him but said nothing. He wasn't afraid of these people; anyone who could run such an entertainment venue had connections. As long as the machine wasn't damaged, it was fine for the guy to vent his frustration.

After cursing, the young man wanted to continue gambling but found his pockets empty. He turned to his companion and said, "Huang Mao, do you have any money? Lend me some, and I'll pay you back when I win."

Huang Mao, a young man with yellow hair sitting next to him, took out three 10-yuan bills and handed them to the young man, saying, "Liu Ge, this is the last of my money. If you lose, don't gamble anymore, okay?"

Liu Ge nodded with a grim face, "I know!"

He exchanged the money for coins and continued gambling. Chen默 watched coldly, praying, "Don't let this guy win! It's better if I do it!"

Chen默 had calculated that the machine would pay out after taking in another 50 yuan. If Liu Ge was lucky, he might hear the machine dispensing coins with his next coin. If that happened, Chen默 would be out of luck.

"Clunk!"

"Clunk clunk!"

"Clunk clunk clunk!"

Chen默 watched Liu Ge insert coins and continued praying for him to have bad luck. Sure enough, Liu Ge's luck was really bad. Even after he put in the last 10 yuan he had borrowed, the machine didn't pay out!

Chen默's face remained calm, but he laughed inwardly, "This isn't my fault. Who would have thought your luck would be this bad? Why don't you move aside and let me try?"

Liu Ge, having lost more money, became even angrier. He punched the machine hard, and this time the noise was even louder. The owner, however, remained silent, knowing that these desperate gamblers could turn violent if provoked.

Liu Ge's eyes were red with anger, and his breathing was heavy. After smashing the machine, he turned to the others and shouted, "Damn it! I don't believe it! How much money do you have left? Put it all in! If we win, we'll split it! If we lose, I'll never come back here again!"

The others, seeing Liu Ge's anger, didn't dare to say no and emptied their pockets.

Liu Ge looked at the dozen or so coins in his hand and said irritably, "That's all you guys have together?"

One of the young men said with a bitter face, "Liu Ge, you've been playing these machines for days. We've all lost our money to you."

Liu Ge snorted, "Don't argue with me! I'll pay you back!"

Liu Ge exchanged the coins for more and continued gambling. He had just put in 30 yuan, leaving only 20 yuan before the machine would pay out. Chen默 saw that he had borrowed 17 yuan and thought that even if Liu Ge's luck was bad, this time the machine should pay out. He no longer had much hope of winning on this machine.

Chen默 turned to look at the other machines. A moment later, he heard Liu Ge cursing, "Get out! I'll never come back here again! Damn it! I've never seen such a lousy machine!"

Chen默 was slightly stunned and then turned to see Liu Ge and his friends getting up to leave. He couldn't help but laugh inwardly, "This is unbelievable!"

Seeing Liu Ge and his friends leave, Chen默 immediately sat down at the machine and took out three one-yuan coins, ready to seize this golden opportunity.

Huang Mao was the last to leave the gambling room. Seeing Chen默 sit down at the machine Liu Ge had been playing, he couldn't help but stop to watch, curious if this lucky guy was really that lucky.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Chen默 inserted a coin, the machine started dispensing coins!

Huang Mao was completely stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn! This kid is really a gambling god!"
