Looking at the slot machine she had won, Cao Mingxian asked in a weak voice, "Shall we continue playing?"
Yang Hao and Xin Xiulan now finally understand why there seems to be no way out. In this situation, is there really anyone who could survive?!
Isn't Cao Mingxian a prime example? She used a small amount of money to try and make a lot more, claiming it was for the mission, but in reality, her body couldn't resist.
Yang Hao shook his head and quickly stepped back. He was determined not to touch it; he had seen too many feng shui sites.
Many people asked him to look at the feng shui, saying that their family was having a bad year, but the real reason was that there was a bottomless pit in their house, which couldn't be solved by feng shui.
Even a wealthy businessman he once knew, who had hired a highly skilled feng shui master to build his mansion, was found to have had his mansion changed hands long ago, all because of a business trip he thought was just a casual hobby. The businessman had also disappeared after accumulating huge gambling debts.
After that, some people in the industry even tarnished the reputation of that feng shui master, saying that the master took money and set up a feng shui arrangement to harm wealthy businessmen. The rumors were so detailed that they even included the master's name, the method of the arrangement, and the location of the meeting, as if someone had witnessed it firsthand.
But if one were to do something so clandestine, how could one possibly let anyone see it? Or, would the master use his own merits to harm someone he has no connection with, not to mention that all the wealthy businessman's assets ultimately went to the casino, and the master only received the initial feng shui fee?
Instead of reflecting on the fact that it was the wealthy businessman who gambled away his entire fortune and lost everything, even though no one was holding him hostage, these other people are just making excuses to cover up their own misery.
Many people think that casinos have both losers and winners, but no one has ever thought that casinos also have a house.
Regardless of whether you win or lose, there will always be a house that makes a guaranteed profit.
After Yang Hao left to look for other ways out, Xiao Bai sighed, looked at Cao Mingxian, and finally offered a few words of advice, "Brother, it's best not to touch this thing if you can avoid it. This isn't a slot machine, it's a deadly machine."
Cao Mingxian's eyes flickered slightly. "I didn't mean to play around; I just wanted to get this key."
"This key looks like you can't get it without enough chips. Don't think this is just a game; this is gambling. Gambling is terrifying. The people I know who run casinos don't gamble themselves. Brother, no matter how big your pocket is, it'll never be full."
Xiao Bai tried to persuade Cao Mingxian earnestly, and Cao Mingxian nodded in agreement, but after getting up, she couldn't help but look back at the slot machine.
Du Ruoxi witnessed this scene and said, "Xiao Cao, don't be fooled by the fact that this is a simple game that you can win easily. You're in that line of work, don't you know how good this thing is?"
Cao Mingxian immediately thought of his master, and his face instantly turned as if facing a formidable enemy. His master always said that his family used to be very wealthy, with generations of ancestors, but in the end, it was all ruined by his master.
At first, he would listen attentively and agree with me, saying that he would never gamble.
But now he was having this terrifying thought that this was just a game. He could recite his master's experiences by heart, yet he was still being deceived by this packaged "gambling."
At first, they'll make it easy for you to win, turning one dollar into ten times the initial amount. Perhaps it's a packaged card game, or perhaps you're just playing for fun.
He thought of a young man who had contacted him for help some time ago. The young man had accumulated a huge debt online and, instead of questioning the legitimacy of online games, suspected that his luck had been bad lately.
Cao Mingxian was incredibly disdainful at the time. Even if those websites weren't scams, and you successfully withdrew a lot of money, it wouldn't matter. Movies show people cheating right in front of you without you noticing, let alone the internet, where someone is separated from you by a wire and a virtual webpage can easily deceive you.
They've been controlling things from the back end for a long time, and it's even better than before. In the past, at least those con artists in movies had to practice hard, but now it's all automated.
Cao Mingxian felt a chill run down his spine. He had almost followed in his master's footsteps. Seeing this magnificent secret chamber again, he felt as if he were being pricked by thorns.
"Thank you, Sister Du. Let's figure out a way to get out of here quickly."
[This episode is even more despairing! I know something's wrong, but I just can't escape it!]
【ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh, how should I put it? Everyone, please don't think you're immune to being fooled. It's packaged very well now. Many people know this is an abyss, yet they still try to profit from it, only to fall into it in the end.】
[Agreed. I had a friend who said he had great self-control. I heard he could easily win and withdraw his winnings at the beginning, but he wanted to make two hundred yuan and then quit. He jumped off a building last year, leaving his parents with a mountain of debt. Seriously, never think you can do it.]
I know many people go in hoping for a chance to experience it, but humans have desires. Just like this escape room, it subtly and constantly amplifies your desires, making it impossible for you to leave once you're in. The best approach is not to enter in the first place, because there's no way out of this escape room.
Now I understand why the masters' expressions were all off after the initial divination. Was there really no way out of this secret room?
[The production team really knows how to create fun; this escape room gave me the creeps. What I thought escape rooms were, puzzle-solving and exploration, is now a nightmare – a nightmare from Feiyang Entertainment, a place of devil's whispers.]
[I agree. The library in the last episode felt like a metaphor for the first half of one's academic journey. Anyone who tries to escape or avoid learning will be eliminated. Only those who are passionate about learning and single-minded can ultimately succeed in the library.]
Lin Xiaoxiao, behind the monitor, was stunned. No?! She didn't mean that!!!
She initially just wanted to design an escape room where people would be eliminated if they escaped, and she thought she would see how these masters would use their unique skills. After all, you can't do metaphysical variety shows, but escape rooms are very mysterious.
Just thinking about it is exciting; a master and an escape room are such a perfect match.
How did it get so overhyped?! Seriously, you contestants and netizens, stop stirring up trouble!! This is just a regular escape room reality show, okay? This sudden shift in its perceived value makes her seem a little flustered, like she didn't expect it at first!!
Wang Li nodded as he watched the online comments from behind Lin Xiaoxiao, thinking to himself, "President Lin truly deserves to be called an outstanding young entrepreneur; her sense of responsibility is completely different." He hadn't initially understood President Lin's deeper meaning, but now, after reading the comments from netizens and guests, he completely understood.
He initially had doubts about letting those masters participate, wondering what would happen if it were too easy for them to pass. But President Lin had arranged everything perfectly.
Lin Xiaoxiao: ........Do you want to hear what you're all saying?! Did she choose this library and casino setting?! She only set up a game segment where escaping meant elimination, everything else was just a coincidence!! So many accusations are being leveled against her, she's feeling guilty!!!
