(PS: The protagonist uses his X-ray vision not just for gambling; he will use this function in many important plot points later on.)
As for some readers saying that the plot is prone to collapse after the third eye is opened, you are overthinking it. Some books collapse because the authors' writing skills and plot design abilities are inherently poor.
On the contrary, the "clairvoyance" element in the book's outline is one of its key components, and many exciting plot points later on rely on it: the initial meeting with Ye Zhihuan, the dramatic turn of events on the gambling ship, the annihilation of the Flying Tigers in Hong Kong, the Russian roulette in northern Myanmar...
Having just become a billionaire, I'm about to have another 100 million yuan taken from me by the system. This black gold system is truly ruthless.
But having made up his mind, Lin Dong had to accept it, no matter how painful it was. So he gritted his teeth and issued the enhancement command:
[Ding! 100 million wealth points consumed. Your upper dantian has been strengthened, your third eye has been opened, and you have gained super X-ray vision.]
Lin Dong felt a heat rising from the area between his eyebrows, followed by a strange sensation of clarity and vision.
At this point, the previous dice game had been paid out, and the dealer covered the black cup.
Lin Dong stared intently at it.
[1, 4, 6, 11 o'clock.]
Three white dice were clearly visible before my eyes.
Holy crap, it actually works?
Lin Dong was so excited that his whole body went numb. This move was just too incredible!
The next bet is about to begin.
Lin Dong seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned to ask the beautiful Xiao Fei behind him:
"Xiaofei, what's the best odds to bet on dice?"
Huh? What's this?
Two small, white hills are so close together, they're almost blinding! And on the top of each hill, a delicate pink lotus blooms…
Holy crap, they saw I was wearing clothes?
Uh, sorry, I forgot to turn off my X-ray vision for a moment, but it's okay, Xiaofei doesn't know anyway.
"Mr. Lin, in dice games, the one with the highest odds is the 'betting on all dice'."
This involves betting that all three dice will roll the same number, and that you must correctly predict that number; the payout is 150.
Xiao Fei saw Lin Dong's eyes suddenly light up as he looked at him, and his face flushed red, but he didn't forget to explain softly:
"There's also the option of betting on the entire set. You don't need to bet on the exact number; if you get a triple (all three dice), you'll pay out 24 times the bet."
Other games, such as betting on the sum of three dice, pay out between 6 and 50 times the sum depending on the number of points rolled…
Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction, turned his head reluctantly, and said with lingering satisfaction:
"Xiao Fei, I'll reward you handsomely when I win some money."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Xiao Fei smiled sweetly.
To Lin Dong's left sat a thin man in his thirties. He stared at Xiao Fei with shining eyes. This woman was really pretty.
Of course, in order to serve Lin Dong well, Guo Shi'an wouldn't just find anyone to deal with.
Xiao Fei is probably the most beautiful waitress in the entire casino.
"Hey beautiful, how about I reward you when I win some money?"
The skinny man reached out a groping hand and groped Xiaofei's buttocks, grinning lewdly.
Xiao Fei awkwardly shrank to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
Casino rules state that customers are God; they come to have fun and to give away money, so they can't be easily offended.
"I'm serious, this pretty boy doesn't even understand odds. If you follow him, you won't even get a taste of the good stuff."
Follow me, the next round will definitely be low, I'll win it all back in one go, hahaha..."
Seeing that Xiao Fei didn't resist, the skinny guy became bolder and reached out his groping hand, wanting to relive the soft and elastic feel of his hand from before.
A long, slender hand reached out from the side and clamped down on him forcefully:
"Brother, don't touch women while gambling, or you'll lose everything."
When the skinny man saw that it was Lin Dong who was obstructing him and even cursing him to lose money, he immediately refused to cooperate and started cursing loudly:
"Fuck you, you brat! Who do you think you are? Let go of me now!"
"I can let go, but don't cause trouble. What I hate most is having a fly buzzing in my ear when I'm gambling."
Who are you calling a fly?
...
At this point, the dealer announced the start of a new round of betting.
The dice were rolled, and the gamblers at the table placed their bets, with the vast majority still betting on small numbers.
"Let go, you brat! I'll settle the score with you after I win this round!"
Lin Dong released his grip and turned his gaze to the black lid of the cup.
No way? It really is a leopard?
In the bizarre X-ray vision, three dice inside the black lid of the cup lie quietly on the cup mat.
The upward-facing side is all 5 points.
Lin Dong calmly took out 100,000 chips and placed them in the betting box for 5 points in the dice game.
"Whoosh!"
A murmur rippled through the crowd. Was this guy crazy? Betting 100,000 on a leopard on his very first bet?
"Kid, you'll lose everything if you play like this."
The skinny guy bet all his remaining 30,000 chips on small, and sneered when he saw Lin Dong's shrewd move.
"Young man, you should have bet on small this round. You've had 12 consecutive big bets."
"Yes, betting on a triple is very difficult to win. Is this your first time playing Sic Bo?"
"What a pity, 100,000 yuan has gone down the drain."
...
Listening to the advice and discussions around the gambling table, Lin Dong just smiled and remained silent. How could you ordinary people understand my abilities?
"Place your bet and you're done."
With the bookmaker's clear announcement, "Ding!", the bell rang, and betting stopped.
"open!"
The dealer called out and slowly lifted the lid of the cup.
"Little, little, little..."
The gamblers' collective shouts of "small!" echoed throughout half of the casino.
