Chapter 1806 - 1806: Underground Gambling Den

“l didn’t expect this underground gambling den to really be underground... I thought the word underground is just metaphorical. I didn’t expect it to be so literal!” Qiao Mei said to herself, a little lost for words.

Qiao Mei used her foot to tap on the manhole cover forcefully. When the people below heard the sound, they opened the entrance door. Qiao Mei went down the stairs to the bottom and discovered a different world below. It was a very grand-looking place. The entire room was filled with smoke and everyone looked very euphoric. Everyone here was looking for that one chance which could reverse their fortunes and change their lives. This was the first time Qiao Mei had seen so many gamblers in one place.

“Miss, are you here alone?” the guard at the door asked.

“Yes, why? You don’t allow lone players?” Qiao Mei questioned.

“It’s not that. Miss, please exchange for chips here. We do not allow anyone to bring any communication equipment or other things into this place. Only money is allowed. Please put all your belongings in the cabinet over there,” the guard at the door said.

Qiao Mei only exchanged 50 dollars worth of chips. Big bets were still uncommon in this era. After all, in this era, the average income was very low and the bets commensurate with the situation. However, even then, these gamblers could still rack up more than 10,000 dollars in gambling debts, sometimes even more than 100,000 dollars.

Qiao Mei observed the surroundings. There were many different ways to play.

“Everyone, place your bets. I’m going to open it now.” After saying that, the croupier opened the dice cup. The number of points added up to “Big”.

“Damn it! This woman actually guessed it right!”

“Oh my... Seriously... This woman is just lucky! She won’t be so lucky in the next round! ”

Qiao Mei smiled disdainfully. This was only the beginning. In the next hour, Qiao Mei did not lose a single round and there was a mountain of chips in front of her by now. Qiao Mei toyed with one of the gambling chips. She looked at the croupier expressionlessly and the croupier was so nervous that he was sweating. He had never met someone like her before. No one could keep winning at the gambling den, unless the person cheated.

However, croupiers like him knew how to cheat too. Moreover, they had all been trained to prevent those really lucky people who won a lot of money from leaving immediately with their winnings. Otherwise, the gambling den would make a loss. The croupiers would cheat to make these people lose all their winnings. This was how the gambling den kept these gamblers coming back.

Qiao Mei, on the other hand, was different. No matter how the croupier cheated, Qiao Mei could accurately know the number of points the dice added up to every time. He did not believe that Qiao Mei did not cheat.

“You cheated! You must have cheated!” shouted a gambler beside Qiao Mei as he pointed at her. He had already lost nearly 5,000 dollars.

“If so, did you see how I cheated?” Qiao Mei questioned.

The rule in the gambling den was that everyone could win money using their own abilities. There was a common understanding that it did not matter if one won through cheating or by luck. One could cheat as long as one could remain undiscovered. However, if one was caught, one would have to leave behind one’s pair of hands..
