Chapter 227: The Pleasure Throughout the Body
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yue Xin heard Denise’s pleasant voice behind her. She stood directly behind her. Her hand that was holding the cards paused, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. Since she wanted to learn about the human heart, she had to see more things, so even if she discovered some abnormalities, she wouldn’t care.
The rules for drawing turtles were very simple. After playing two rounds, Yue Xin completely understood. On Yue Xin’s right was No. 12, and on her left was Yi Chengxuan, so she drew Yi Chengxuan’s card, and No. 12 drew her card. There was an advantage to this order. It was impossible for E.P. to tamper with her card. At least on the surface, it looked fair, as if it was really a game of luck.
E.P. would always talk to No.12 while they were playing, and although No. 12 ignored him, he never got tired of it.
Yi Chengxuan didn’t express any objections to E.P.’s noisy behavior, and Yue Xin didn’t say anything.
In the first round of the game, Yue Xin won as expected. Moreover, Yue Xin was the first to win after receiving the hand cards. The person who lost in the end was not E.P., not number 12, but Yi Chengxuan.
When this result came out, not only was Yue Xin surprised, but even E.P. could not help but exclaim. He quickly turned around and shouted to his subordinates, “Quick, spread it out! The person in charge of Building No. 5 lost to me! He lost to E.P.! Hahahaha…
The subordinate who received the order ran quickly, afraid that he would be caught by Yi Chengxuan. However, Yi Chengxuan had no intention of chasing after him. Instead, he said indifferently, “My luck has always been bad. If I rely on luck alone, I will always be the loser.” Yi Chengxuan seemed to be talking about a bet, but it was only a bet.
E.P. laughed for a long time before pushing the chips in front of Yue Xin. He smiled and said, “Little kid, your luck is pretty good. Shouldn’t you take advantage of your luck to play another round?”
Yue Xin nodded, and the smile on E.P.’s face deepened.
No.12 frowned at the side. He had been observing E.P.’s technique, but he could not see anything for the time being. Yue Xin still won this round and she was not the loser in the next round.
After Yue Xin won another round, when E.P pushed the chips to Yue Xin, he inadvertently looked at the time and suggested, “It’s quite a long time to play a round. Why don’t you bet more chips? The earlier you win, the earlier we can leave.”
Yue Xin glanced at E.P. and nodded again. E.P.’s smile was bottomless. Another new gambler had taken the bait.
Yue Xin lowered her head. On the surface, she had fallen into it like the other gamblers, but in fact, she was only recording and analyzing E.P.’s words. She was thinking, So that’s how it is. To lure people into a trap, you have to use chips to take it one step at a time. If you’re too anxious, it will arouse people’s vigilance. You have to gradually give them some benefits in order to achieve the effect of boiling a frog in warm water.
The last “reasonable” suggestion made it impossible to refuse. It was as if he was doing it for her own good. The people in Building No. 8 were indeed impressive. She would play another round and see what kind of words E.P.
would use next time.
E.P., who was trying to figure out how to win money, didn’t know that he was not facing a greedy gambler, but an emotionless learning machine. And that machine was now imitating and analyzing his behavior.
Yue Xin actively accepted E.P’s suggestion and bet half of the chips she had just won.
When E.P. saw this, he immediately pushed out his chips and coaxed, “You have to bet boldly while you’re lucky. You’ll only get returns if you’re willing. Moreover, the chips beside you are won. It’s not a loss even if you bet all of them. However, if you win, your winning chips will double.”
When Yue Xin heard E.P.’s words, she pushed out all the chips she had just won without hesitation.
No. 12 wanted to stop her, but before he could, the chips had already been pushed out. Since she had already placed her bet, there was no way he could get it back.
Seeing this, E.P. laughed. “Good! You have guts! I like to compete with people like you.”
Yue Xin raised her head slightly, and her impression of E.P. changed a lot. If the impression that E.P. had left on Yue Xin just now was that of a speechless pervert, at that moment, Yue Xin experienced the charm of E.P. She described the impulsive actions of gamblers as bold, the gamble as a competition, and the abyss of despair as a battlefield for heroes to fight. This was the illusion created by E.P.’s short sentences and hearty smile just now.
Yue Xin originally thought that she would no longer have desires for anything, but when she withdrew the chips just now, even if it was only for a moment, she experienced a thrill that spread throughout her body..
