Chen Mo paused when he heard this, thinking to himself: Could that boss Wang be Wang Xiaorui's father? So it turns out I won the money from her family!
Thinking about this, Chen Mo let out a dry laugh and changed the subject, "Wang Xiaorui, why didn't you apply the brakes just now?"
Wang Xiaorui immediately shifted her attention. She patted her slightly protruding chest and said, "The brakes weren't very responsive. I was really scared just now. I thought I would fall and die, but fortunately, I landed in the sand pile. Otherwise, the consequences would have been serious—oh, are you okay?"
Chen Mo wasn't seriously injured just now. Apart from a bit of pain on his waist, his clothes weren't even torn. He smiled and said, "I'm fine."
After they picked up all the coins, Wang Xiaorui stood up and went to help the bicycle. Chen Mo saw this and said, "Wang Xiaorui, I'm leaving first."
Wang Xiaorui immediately dropped the bicycle and turned to ask, "Chen Mo, are you free tomorrow?"
Chen Mo was curious, "Why do you ask?"
Wang Xiaorui looked forward to it, "The classmates have planned to go out and play tomorrow. I wanted to ask if you want to join us."
Chen Mo lost interest when he heard this. He apologized, "I'm really sorry, I have something to do tomorrow and can't get away. I wish you all a good time. Goodbye."
Chen Mo turned and left. Wang Xiaorui stood there for a moment, then sighed and pushed the bicycle home.
The next morning, Chen Mo set out with over 300 yuan in coins. He left the banknotes at home. In his view, 300 yuan was more than enough as gambling capital, and carrying too much money was unsafe.
Chen Mo planned to go to the neighboring town to continue making money. To avoid drawing attention, he wore a hat. After arriving at the bus station, Chen Mo waited quietly.
The neighboring town, Shanfeng, was not far from Jiangkou Town. It would take about an hour to walk there. In the past, Chen Mo would have walked, but now that he was wealthy, he didn't mind spending 1.5 yuan on the bus fare.
After less than 15 minutes, the bus arrived. Chen Mo bought a ticket and found a corner to sit down. He then lowered his hat and closed his eyes to rest.
After less than 20 minutes, the bus stopped at Shanfeng Town. Chen Mo got off with the crowd, looked around, and headed towards the town center.
Shanfeng Town was closer to the county, so it was more prosperous than Jiangkou Town, with a larger population. Chen Mo arrived at the town center and saw a fairly large supermarket.
After searching for a while, Chen Mo easily found a game room next to the supermarket. He entered the game room and went straight to the gambling machine area.
This game room was much larger than Wang Xiaorui's, with many more machines and newer models. After observing for half an hour, Chen Mo found a machine that no one was using and started inserting coins.
From his half-hour observation, Chen Mo discovered that the machines here, like those at Wang Xiaorui's place, had a winning rate set. The rate here was just a bit higher.
Since the machines were similar, Chen Mo believed that these gambling machines also had a hard-to-detect jackpot point. He thought it was too slow to win money by following the machine's payout pattern and decided to find the jackpot point directly to make money faster.
Shanfeng Town was quite large, and there were many game rooms. Chen Mo wanted to hit all the game rooms in one day, so he didn't have the time to wait for the machines to pay out.
After sitting down, Chen Mo took out 10 yuan in coins and started trying.
With yesterday's experience, Chen Mo's actions today were very smooth. He only spent 9 yuan in coins to find the jackpot point of this machine. While others were frustrated by not winning, Chen Mo's machine started to pay out.
The sound of coins pouring out drew the attention of the people around, who all looked at him with envy.
Chen Mo called the boss to exchange the coins for banknotes. After waiting a few minutes, he moved on to another machine.
This time was even faster. Chen Mo only spent 5 coins to find the jackpot point of this machine. Watching the machine spew out coins, Chen Mo remained calm. He had basically mastered the trick of finding the jackpot point, and winning money was now a routine matter for him.
Chen Mo remained calm, but the others in the gambling room were shocked. Many had seen him win money just now and were surprised that he won again so quickly.
Chen Mo didn't care what others thought. He called the boss again to exchange the coins for banknotes.
This time, the boss started to pay attention to Chen Mo. No one who runs a gambling room likes to see gamblers win all the time. After exchanging the coins for banknotes, the boss stood at a distance and quietly observed Chen Mo's every move.
The boss thought Chen Mo must have used some trick to win. If he could catch Chen Mo cheating, he would teach him a lesson. Otherwise, if Chen Mo kept winning, how could he run his gambling room?
Chen Mo sensed the boss's thoughts but didn't care. He wasn't carrying any tools, so how could he be accused of cheating? Even if the boss wanted to frame him, he would need evidence. Otherwise, how would other gamblers view him? Would they still come to play?
Some people in the gambling room were also watching Chen Mo, just to see the show. Apart from envying his good luck, they had no other thoughts.
Under the watchful eyes of some people, Chen Mo calmly approached the third machine. This time, he only spent 2 coins to make the machine pay out. The people watching Chen Mo were completely shocked, many with their mouths agape, unable to say a word!
In just a few minutes, Chen Mo had won nearly 1,000 yuan. Such a thing was unheard of!
The boss of the game room also stared with wide eyes, speechless. He had been closely watching Chen Mo and hadn't seen any signs of cheating. He only saw Chen Mo take coins from his hand and insert them into the machine. His movements were very natural, and when he inserted the third coin, the machine paid out!
The boss was shocked: What's going on? Could this kid's luck really be that good??
"Boss, can you help me exchange the coins?"
Chen Mo's tone was very calm, showing no signs of excitement. The boss hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Oh, I'll come over."
Actually, the boss wanted to deny the win, but he hadn't seen Chen Mo cheat. Seeing Chen Mo's calm demeanor, he felt he couldn't quite figure out this boy. To be safe, he decided to exchange the coins for banknotes first and then think of a plan.
Chen Mo roughly guessed the boss's mindset. After exchanging the coins, he put the money in his pocket and left.
Chen Mo decided to move on after a quick win. He wouldn't win too much money in one game room. Even if he hadn't cheated, if he won too much, the boss would definitely get angry. It was better to make a quick profit and leave to avoid trouble.
The boss of the game room was still thinking about what to do when Chen Mo turned and left. The boss was puzzled: What's this kid's background? It's a good thing he left. If he kept winning like this, I would be in trouble—speaking of which, will he come back later?
The boss shuddered at the thought...
