Zhuang Li understood his situation in an instant.

A popular star and a compulsive gambler, if you put these two labels together, fans will definitely be furious.

Although the handsome man sitting next to him kept urging him to stop, there was a hint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

From this, it can be seen that he hopes the original owner will continue to gamble crazily.

"7480, is this man next to me in collusion with the casino?" Zhuang Li flipped over his cards nonchalantly and calculated the points carelessly.

"It's more than just collusion! This man's name is Fang Yu. Before his rebirth, he was a minor celebrity on the 38th line. After his rebirth, he got a golden finger system and fawned over you, which is how he gradually became famous.

"He's a stud with lots of girlfriends. Even the female owner of this casino has fallen for his suit pants! He told her to send her best gambler to play with you because you're rich and impulsive, making you a fat sheep. He'll even take 10% of your losses! You lose tens of millions, but he pockets millions!"

7480 held his breath and continued, "He's still your best brother! He was able to enter the entertainment industry thanks to your connections! You gave him a lot of resources, took him to various activities, introduced him to big directors, helped him hype himself up, and even invested in his movies. You took care of him like your own brother, and this is how he hurt you!"

7480 logged into the network and took a look, his mouth spitting out anger. "This is killing me! This Fang Yu even used the Golden Finger system to open a live broadcast room on the Internet, broadcasting your gambling addiction to the whole world! I'll shut down the live broadcast room for you right now and delete all the videos!"

"Don't move, let the live broadcast continue." Zhuang Li threw the losing hand of cards on the table.

The foreign man sitting opposite him raised his hands and laughed wildly, then took the chips covering the table into his arms.

Many people standing around the card table showed excitement. They also wanted to make some money from Zhuang Li, the stupid and fat sheep, so they waited patiently for the other five people at the table to leave.

Fang Yu tugged at his sleeve again and said, "Zhuang Li, please don't gamble anymore. You don't have much money left. Don't try to be so shameless as to go after the fat guy. Let's at least save some money for the return ticket."

When talking about such private matters, Fang Yu should lower his voice to prevent outsiders from hearing.

But he didn't. Instead, he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear clearly. This was because he knew that Zhuang Li was very concerned about his reputation and had a strong desire to win. To prove that he was rich and that he could win, he would only continue to gamble, and the bets would get bigger and bigger.

Fang Yu brought Zhuang Li to this island for vacation for three reasons: first, he wanted to drain all of Zhuang Li's savings; second, he wanted to completely ruin Zhuang Li's reputation; third, he wanted to cut off Zhuang Li's star career.

He wanted to take away everything that Zhuang Li had.

As expected, Zhuang Li ignored him and ordered the dealer, "Deal the cards."

The dealer pursed his lips and smiled, then opened two brand new decks of cards and quickly cleaned them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuang Li asked the gambler next to him: "What are the rules here?"

7480 tried to dissuade him earnestly: "Master, do you know that you are being watched by tens of millions of fans? You still gamble? Do you not care about your reputation?"

"If they want to see it, I'll let them see enough. I am indeed a gambler, but I only win, not lose." Zhuang Li smiled disapprovingly.

The gamblers standing around him were also laughing and sneered, "Little brother, you've been gambling for half a day, and you don't even know the rules? No wonder you lost so badly. Okay, let me explain it to you..."

Zhuang Li calculated quickly as he listened, then chuckled in his head, "Under this rule, I can get a 3% advantage."

Gambling is just a numbers game for him, and blackjack is another simple way to play with probability and combination.

"Even you only have a 3% advantage?" 7480 muttered in surprise, "Then what are you still playing for? Retreat immediately!"

"A 3% advantage combined with a foolproof strategy will only result in a 100% chance of winning. Bet small when you're sure to lose, and bet big when you're sure to win. The tens of millions you lost will slowly come back. I just came here, and my mind isn't fully clear yet, so playing a game is a good way to clear my head."

Zhuang Li tapped the table with his slender fingertips, signaling the dealer that he could deal the cards.

7480 is convinced. He plays cards even though he's not in his right mind, and claims to have a 100% chance of winning. The owner is truly arrogant.

Zhuang Li picked up the card, glanced at it, and asked casually, "What is this place?"

"This is an island, known to the outside world as a den of illicit wealth. It's a Chinese territory, but it was once colonized by foreign invaders, so its legal system is different from other places. It's completely independent politically and economically, primarily focusing on gambling, entertainment, and tourism. It's a place coveted by gamblers, wealthy people, and powerful people from all over the world. Here, you can win or lose a lot of money, buy whatever you want, or lose it all overnight. It's a world completely shaped by money."

"I understand. This is a wild paradise." Zhuang Li concluded.

7480 flipped through the script and suddenly burped. Of course, it wasn't because it was full, it was because it was scared.

"Master, I have good news for you. Shen Ling is the richest man here. He owns this casino, and Fang Yu's girlfriend is just managing it on his behalf. You'll be able to meet him soon. Let me take a look at the script first and help you sort out the relationships between the characters."

7480 spat a little on his fingers and began to flip through the book frantically.

Upon hearing the news about his lover, Zhuang Li smiled happily, then turned his attention back to the card table.

A few minutes later, he got blackjack and won.

The people around him thought he was just lucky occasionally and shouted at him to continue.

Half an hour later, Zhuang Li's hands were already piled high with chips. The five people who had originally played cards with him had all lost their money and left, replaced by five others.

Half an hour later, the five people also left. Zhuang Li had too much chips to store, so the casino staff helped him sort them out and packed them into several boxes and placed them on the table.

Another half hour passed, and no one dared to play cards with this oriental man.

As time went on, everyone realized that the tens of millions he had lost were just a joke, just as he had said. He was not some stupid fat sheep at all; he was setting a trap for others!

Seeing that he had lost so much money and that his luck seemed to have run out, people who played with him were always willing to bet big. In view of these huge bets, he began to show off all kinds of fancy moves.

Facing the dealer's up-card A, he dared to split the cards even though he got two 8s; facing the dealer's up-card 5, he chose to double his bet even though he got an A; he dared to continue bidding even though he got 20 points; he seemed to always know what card he would get next and whether he would bust.

"He can remember cards!" The gambler standing nearby shouted in sudden enlightenment.

But it was too late. The chips in Zhuang Li's hand had already far exceeded the amount he lost.

Only then did he lazily lean back in his chair, cross his long legs, and laugh heartily. The dazzling crystal chandelier above his head shone with tiny glints of light, but it was far less dazzling than his incredibly handsome face.

He spread his hands, his voice as deep and moving as a cello: "God can testify that I didn't cheat. Your rules are too favorable to the players, and I couldn't help myself, so I had a little too much fun."

The dealer's face turned green when he heard this.

Damn, it's in the players' favor! The rules of their casino are based on meticulous calculations by countless actuaries, and the players' odds of winning are basically negative!

It's impossible to win all the time! This person must be cheating!

The dealer immediately took out the walkie-talkie to contact security.

The security guard knew this man wasn't cheating. He was the casino's top target today, his every move monitored by cameras, and he'd been searched several times. He had no chance or tools to cheat, and no signs of it.

If he had to be accused of cheating, then his brain might be his only cheating tool.

He can remember cards, count cards, and manipulate the game by cutting, changing, and adding cards. In short, he is a calculating monster, similar to a computer!

The security guards knew that this man was a very famous star and the gambling process was being broadcast live. If they really ran down to catch him, the casino's reputation would be ruined.

Every gambler comes to a casino with one dream: to win! Lots of money! If they knew the casino wouldn't let winning gamblers leave safely with their fortunes, they wouldn't come back.

There are many casinos in the den of vengeance, and gamblers have no shortage of places to gamble, so there is no need for them to take risks in such black shops that specialize in ripping off customers.

By then, the casino's business will inevitably plummet and even face bankruptcy.

Therefore, if there is no evidence that the customer is cheating, the security guards must not arrest the customer. If they arrest the customer, they will cut off their own source of income.

If Zhuang Li was not a star and was not doing live broadcasts, they would not be in this dilemma.

Tens of millions of people were watching this gamble online, and the number of people in the live broadcast room surged again when Zhuang Li started winning money like crazy. Even the security team was watching from the room, their phones in hand.

How dare they resort to violence when everyone is watching?

With no other choice, the security captain had to call the person in charge, Sun Xiaojia.

Sitting next to Zhuang Li, Fang Yu looked at the boxes of chips he had piled high, his eyes brimming with anger. If it weren't for his exceptional acting skills, his ability to perfectly control his expression, he would have been furious to the point of turning green.

He never thought that the pit he dug for Zhuang Li would bury himself instead.

Zhuang Li won hundreds of millions of chips in one go. Sun Xiaojia must be mad, right?

---

Sun Xiaojia was indeed furious, but he still retained a trace of rationality.

She took several deep breaths before she took out her phone and called her boss, saying hurriedly, "Godfather, there was an accident in the casino..."

She quickly recounted what had happened, but concealed the fact that she and Fang Yu had secretly colluded to plot against Zhuang Li.

As a manager, she absolutely couldn't treat her customers like fat sheep to be slaughtered. The gamblers playing cards with Zhuang Li were actually the casino's carefully trained experts. After taking their commission from Zhuang Li, they would give the rest to the casino. This was cheating.

She just said that Zhuang Li was good at counting cards and won too much money at one time, and he was doing a live broadcast, which had a bad impact, so she asked her godfather what to do.

A commanding voice came from the other end of the line: "Since he's won so much money, you should help him throw a grand celebration banquet and tell all gamblers that if they come to our casino to play cards, they will receive unexpectedly generous rewards. Do you remember what the casino needs most?"

Sun Xiaojia nodded and said unwillingly: "I remember, it's a source of customers."

"When everyone knows that you can win big money playing cards in our casino, do you think we will still lack customers? With a constant stream of gamblers, are you still worried about not making money? When did you become so petty?" the man asked in a cold tone.

Sun Xiaojia's heart trembled, and she immediately lowered her head and replied: "Godfather, I understand. I will help him hold a grand celebration banquet."

"Don't interrupt the livestream, otherwise everything you do will be meaningless. You must not only ensure that he can safely leave the casino with the money, but also ensure that he can return to the mainland alive.

"Before we return to the mainland, if anything happens to him in this place, people with ulterior motives will blame us. Other casinos might even use this as an excuse to discredit us and steal our customers. You're in big trouble, don't you know? If you're not smart, don't try to rip off customers like others do. When the customers are smarter than you, you're the real winner."

The man smiled coldly and hung up the phone. He knew everything that happened in the den of brothel.

It's impossible to do anything behind his back.

Sun Xiaojia looked at the slowly darkening phone screen, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
