Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1038 740: Fine-Based Gambling Rehabilitation

Li Zheng was curious and asked, "Can you tell me how to quit? I'd like to broaden my horizons."

"Well..." the casino boss lowered his voice and said, "This method must not be heard by the person involved, otherwise it won't work."

"Alright." Li Zheng did not press further and said to him, "As long as you can handle the business properly, there will be benefits for you."

"Don't worry, sir."

The casino boss signaled to an employee nearby, and instantly two burly four-armed men, like black towers, each carried a metal box with its lid open, walking toward Hu Er.

Li Zheng looked on curiously; the boxes were filled with colorful balls made of special materials, which seemed to function the same as the chips he was familiar with.

Sure enough, Hu Er's eyes were fixed on those boxes, unable to look away for even a moment, eager as he swallowed and asked, "Is all this for me?"

The two burly men replied, "Our boss said that you can play with these chips freely, even if you lose them all; there will always be more whenever you need."

"But there is one condition: you must come to the casino daily to gamble on time, no late arrivals or early departures. Any violation will result in three days of cleaning the casino toilets."

"During this period, the casino will cover your daily meals and accommodation, and every seven days you'll receive two hundred White Crystal Coins as pocket money; you can save it or buy other food to improve your meals but are forbidden to use it for gambling."

"What if I win?" Hu Er caressed those colorful balls, greedily asking.

"Win?"

One of the burly men said, "If you want to take away the money you win, that's fine, but you must follow our casino rules. As long as you agree, you can start immediately."

"Start?"

Hu Er thought the term was odd, but he didn't think much about it and hurriedly grabbed a handful of colorful balls running towards the electronic gambling machine nearby, shouting, "I agree, let's follow your rules!"

He dragged over a chair to sit down, tossed the balls into the machine, and couldn't help but mumble to himself, "The boss is so kind to me, actually giving me money in such a way! Haha! I'm the future legend of the casino!"

The machine started, flashlights of various colors lit up, paired with exciting sound effects, thrilling every person sitting in front of the machine, making them nervously excited.

Li Zheng saw the casino boss take out something like a remote controller and operated it a few times towards the machine, after which the machine emitted an especially exaggerated clattering sound. Hu Er jumped up excitedly, "I hit it! I hit it! The highest multiplier of a thousand times!"

The next second, he was full of regret, "Why did I only bet ten Crystal Coins worth of chips?!"

He smacked himself, thinking if he had put all chips in, he could have made a fortune!

"But ten thousand White Crystal Coins is okay too." He ran to the casino boss, stretching out his hand, "Quick, give me the ten thousand White Crystal Coins!"

The casino boss had already hidden the remote, laughed, and said, "Since you want to cash out the winnings, you must follow the rules. You can only withdraw when the jackpot accumulates to fifty thousand White Crystal Coins.

However, let me warn you, those rules are very strict, and if any are violated, part of your jackpot will be deducted as a penalty. Moreover, once you agree to the terms, you must comply, otherwise all chips given to you will turn into your debt.

Hmm... Approximately worth eighty million White Crystal Coins."

Eighty million White Crystal Coins!

Hearing this number, the first thought that crossed Hu Er's mind wasn't about breaking the rules or how to repay the debt if he changed his mind, but if he had bet all eighty million, how much would he win after multiplying by a thousand?

He calculated in his mind for a long time but couldn't figure out how much eighty million times a thousand is.

The casino boss smiled and asked, "So, have you made your mind? Do you want the jackpot or not?"

"I want it!" Hu Er insisted, "Isn't the fifty thousand withdrawal threshold just a matter of luck, easily within reach!"

"Good!" the casino boss spoke loudly, "Now the agreement is effective, it's gambling time; you must start your gambling within ten seconds, or face a penalty!"

"Ah? Is it starting now?" Hu Er hurried back to the machine, tossed in a ball, hesitated, then flung ten identical colored balls into the machine continuously.

Just after the eleventh ball was tossed, one of the burly men suddenly appeared beside him, loudly saying, "Rule violation, extra ball added, penalty one thousand!"

"What?" Hu Er was stunned, "This warrants a penalty?"

No waiting for his further questioning, the burly man continued loudly, "Breaking focus during gambling, penalty one thousand!"

Seeing the jackpots quickly reducing to eight thousand, Hu Er couldn't care anymore, refocused on the machine, pulled the lever, watching the light flashing.

Meanwhile, he instinctively shook his leg a few times, the burly man loudly said, "Leg shaking, penalty one thousand!"

Hu Er was instantly enraged, scared to continue shaking his leg, trying hard to suppress the reflex, straining his back into a hunch.

The burly man kept on, "Hunching, penalty one thousand!"

"Damn it!" Hu Er erupted, "This is penalized too, that's penalized too, I quit!"

The burly man's expression stayed unchanged, loudly said, "Violation, debt eighty million!"

"Wait!" Hu Er glanced at Li Zheng, gritting his teeth and smiling, "I was joking just now, it doesn't count, okay?"

The burly man ignored him and shouted again, "Breaking focus, penalty one thousand! Chit-chatting during gambling, penalty one thousand!"

Less than two minutes of bonuses reduced to four thousand, Hu Er was about to cry without tears, could only refocus on the machine, then quietly asked the burly man, "Brother, what exactly are those terms, I forgot to ask earlier, can you tell me, I'll split half with you when I cash out!"

"Distracted, chit-chatting, penalty one thousand!" the burly man unmoved, like a machine reporting Hu Er's infractions.

Even asking isn't permitted?

Hu Er had no choice but to shut his mouth, sitting straight up, poker-faced like a student in school listening intently, staring at the machine.

The second round of results came out, hitting again but only a hundred times.

And because Hu Er had previously placed eleven marked as violations, it was only counted for a single ball capital, i.e., a ten thousand bonus.

"Awesome!" Hu Er clenched his fist, cheering, "Jackpot's up to thirteen thousand!"

Fifty thousand only, a cinch!

Kept going, tossed in more chips, however "luck" turned again; this time the result was only ten times, the bonus added up to fourteen thousand.

The burly man spoke again, "Repeatedly playing the same gambling item three times, penalty five thousand!"

"Damn it!"

Hu Er spat.
