Killing Spree: You're Playing Cards With Me, A Magician?

Chuan Liu has always believed: “Chaos is not an abyss, chaos is a ladder.”

Therefore, the magician Chuan Liu chose the criminal exile island – “Paradise Island.”

On this islan...

Chapter 7 Red Heart Casino

Chuanliu silently followed the group of homeless people and walked southwest for a long time until they arrived at a building.

More than half of the rooms in the building were unoccupied, the rooms were wide open, a cool breeze blew the curtains, and the surroundings were quiet and desolate.

Looking out the window, the starry night sky shone brightly, and the bright moonlight illuminated the city. The quiet night was filled only with the chirping of insects, which stirred the heart.

She took out the playing cards she had exchanged with Qian Chuan, carefully examined them to see if they were marked, and only put them back in her sleeve after confirming that they were correct.

A "3 of Diamonds" was exchanged for a "6 of Diamonds".

That's a great deal.

Although it's risky to do this, they need evidence even if they want to find something wrong with her.

With this in mind, Chuanliu handed over "her" cards in front of everyone, making everyone her witnesses.

All I can say is that Qian Liu arrived at the perfect time.

The next day.

Chuanliu left early, not lingering at his residence, but discreetly leaving the city and arriving at the City of Hearts, which represents desire.

What she needs to do now is to maximize the value of this "6 of Diamonds".

The City of Hearts is adjacent to the City of Squares, but their styles are completely different. If the City of Squares is a city in a mirror, then the City of Hearts is a neon city.

The dazzling neon lights seem to stir up people's desires, making it the city with the largest crowds.

The desires for wealth, sex, and power... can all be satisfied here.

Compared to the blocky skyscrapers, the City of Hearts is more like a lavishly decorated royal palace hotel.

In the heart of the city, a huge red heart is placed directly in front of the most luxurious palace hotel.

Men and women of any standing were dressed in finery, walking into the building with handsome men and beautiful women in their arms; occasionally, one could even see a car drive by, with bodyguards accompanying the person who got out, and a dozen or so waiters coming out to greet them.

This is the place.

The largest casino on Paradise Island is the "Red Heart Casino".

Unlike others who would change into more presentable attire, Chuanliu wore a mask, pulled his baseball cap down, and wore loose sportswear, and swaggered in.

A waiter approached, assuming it was some homeless person who had wandered into the wrong place, and said dismissively:

"Go away, little brat, where did you come from? Don't you know you don't accept homeless people here?"

Chuanliu gave him a cold look, his deep eyes sending a chill down the waiter's spine.

There was no truth to the claim that they didn't accept homeless people. The waiter felt a little guilty, but he still insisted, "If you don't leave, I'll call security."

The girl looked around and, before the waiter could react, walked straight toward the cashier's window inside the casino.

"How much do you want to exchange?" the staff at the exchange counter asked.

A playing card, face down, is placed in the window.

Chuanliu had no money or rare resources. The only valuable thing he had was the "6 of Diamonds".

And indeed, just as she suspected, at the Red Heart Casino, identity cards could be exchanged for chips. In fact, they were even more valuable than money.

The cashier glanced at her in surprise, thinking: "Looks like another one who lives for the moment." She then explained:

"The higher the identity card points, the more chips you can exchange for."

Numbers 2-5: 2,000-5,000 yuan;

Numbers 6-9: 60,000-90,000 yuan;

Numbers 10-K: 1,000,000-1,300,000 yuan;

Number A: 10,000,000 yuan.

Your ID card will be held until you leave the casino. If it is not redeemed before you leave, it will be destroyed. Do you understand?

Chuanliu: "Understood."

Upon hearing this, the clerk skillfully picked up the face-down playing card, but when the six diamonds on the card were revealed, his hand froze in mid-air.

Just then, the troublemaking waiter stormed over, yelling, "Hey kid, so this is where you've been! I'll teach you a lesson..."

"Shut up! How can you treat a customer like this?" The clerk frowned unhappily, immediately dampening the waiter's arrogance by half.

The clerk took another look at the mysterious young man and confirmed, "'Six of Diamonds,' redeem 60,000 yuan worth of chips in full."

Chuanliu nodded, took the chips, and walked into the casino without looking back.

Behind them, the waiter remained stunned, unable to recover for a long time. "Brother... you said that little brat was '6 of Diamonds'? This... how is that possible!"

The clerk rolled her eyes at him through the window, "You need to control your temper in the future. How he got this card is none of our business."

"You mean...he stole it?"

The clerk remained silent, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The waiter glanced fiercely in the direction Chuanliu had left, as if he had made up his mind, and then hurriedly left.

Shouts and cries echoed around the gambling tables.

At the Red Heart Casino, there are two types of people: the privileged "aristocrats" who possess high net worth; and the desperate gamblers who are fascinated by the thrill of winning and losing, hoping to turn their fortunes around in one go, and betting more and more.

Due to the unique nature of playing cards, the casino on Paradise Island does not offer poker games. Apart from slot machines, the main games are pinball (a guessing game) and dice games.

A crowd gathered around the dice game table with a 1:1 probability.

Chuanliu selected a few game tables with fewer players to observe, calculated based on probability, silently counted the number of times the numbers were large and small, occasionally betting 100 points to test the waters, and then moved to another table to continue observing.

"Damn it! It's small again? I'm not betting anymore."

One of the Chinese speakers was disappointed and, after seeing the result, wanted to leave with his chips.

The burly man practically shouted it out, and his booming voice immediately drew everyone's attention.

He was about to take the money and leave when he was stopped by security personnel.

"I'm sorry, sir, once you've placed your order, it's non-refundable."

The burly man tried to act like a rogue, shoving and pushing his way out. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen security personnel rushed out, subdued him instantly, and escorted him away from everyone's sight.

A person nearby joked, "Someone is actually stupid enough to act like a scoundrel at the Red Heart Casino, it's hilarious."

Another person said, "No wonder, he placed four bets in a row, all big, but he didn't win a single one."

"That's really a tight spot."

People around were discussing it, and quite a few curious onlookers followed the security guards to see what was going on.

Everyone knew that if that big man dared to cause trouble at the Red Peach Casino, he would be beaten half to death, if not killed.

Chuanliu took in this whole incident, and while the onlookers were still eagerly watching what would happen next, he quietly sat down in front of the dice-rolling guessing game.

Seeing that a customer had arrived, the dealer immediately said, "Please place your bet."

Without hesitation, Chuanliu took out 10,000 chips and placed them all on the "big" side.
