"Aren’t you quite familiar with her? I heard you had a good chat with her yesterday. Can you find an excuse to take her away?" The manager of the ga room was at his wits’ end and approached Bai Chao for help.
Bai Chao had a pleasant chat with Ah Chen yesterday, and he didn’t hide it at all. All the NPCs on the Blue Crystal were talking about it for quite so ti, and nobody expected this big shot to be interested in won. It was truly as rare as seeing an old iron tree blossom.
Previously, when they heard he would guest as an NPC, they were puzzled about the reasons.
It all made sense yesterday.
"You hired her. Why should I be the one to get her out? Don’t be a sore loser." Bai Chao had no intention of making excuses to take her out, "It’s just so chips; you won’t really lose anything."
The manager sighed, "Even if we don’t lose much, the performance trics look really bad."
"After all these years, how many people have you conned? It’s normal to occasionally get taken down." Bai Chao said gleefully. "If she can beat you at your own ga, it’s her skill. Why should I intervene? Are you trying to get in trouble?"
The manager realized it now; if the big shot really liked the woman in there, it wouldn’t be wise to seek her out.
He had been foolish.
Over the years, they hadn’t suffered many losses, the last one being in front of this very person. However, this person wasn’t as ruthless as the lady inside, who could see through their tricks in casual conversation.
"Will she stay here in the future?" The manager gossiped, then noticed the smile disappear from Bai Chao’s face, and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
Forget it, let her enjoy herself.
The manager originally thought Ah Chen would play for a long ti, but after five rounds where they earnestly accompanied her, she said she wanted to leave. The manager and other NPCs were overjoyed. In hindsight, they should have taken better care of her, and there wouldn’t have been so many issues.
The folks on the first floor were amazed when they saw the manager nodding and bowing while escorting Ah Chen to the door, personally converting her chips into cash and loading them onto a card. It felt surreal yet deserved.
Ah Chen watched as the manager handed the fifty blue chips to the administrator.
Then the manager reported the amount to her, but it didn’t include the fifty blue chips. It turned out to be a trap, a very obvious one. Soone smarter would notice the two colors of chips and wouldn’t dare to touch one color if they weren’t sure what it was for.
But so people aren’t that smart and, hoping for a turnaround, feel compelled to move them regardless.
In all this ti, so people had lost everything and even wanted to borrow, but the only place to borrow was the ga room; Adventurers weren’t allowed to trade among themselves.
Bai Chao was also in the ga room, and people were already looking for him.
But for those who had lost everything, even if they knew Bai Chao might have a way to win, they couldn’t afford it, which was really... a twist of fate.
So people were cautious and hadn’t made any moves. Upon learning that Bai Chao could sell winning streak charms, they were overjoyed.
Others had been waiting for Bai Chao to appear so they could buy a winning streak charm from him.
However, it seed there were no five-win streak charms, only three-win ones, and the cost was not cheap at 5000 each. Considering the money Adventurers had, it really was cutting them close. After winning, they might get so money, but there were still many levels ahead, and if they couldn’t seek help from Bai Chao, they would have to use props, which could only be used once each, and there were still many days to go.
Ah Chen placed the card in her bag and, instead of leaving the ga room, went over to Bai Chao.
He was surrounded by many people, all intending to buy winning streak charms.
Ah Chen had no intention of squeezing in until Bai Chao was done. Then she went over and said, "Luck was on my side today, made a bit of money. Want to grab so coffee?"
NPCs passing by couldn’t help but twitch their lips upon hearing this. They were quite professional, but couldn’t help it.
A small amount of money?
Which decent person walks in with a hundred chips and ends up making a few million in no ti!
Bai Chao was naturally willing to go, even eagerly so.
So when soone stopped him for help, his face fell, making him look particularly unhappy.
"Take care of that first, there’s no rush," Ah Chen said, amused.
Bai Chao didn’t make it difficult for the Adventurer seeking help; after making the transaction, he quickly left with Ah Chen, worried he’d be stopped again.
In reality, he needn’t have worried as those who wanted to buy winning streak charms had already done so, and those remaining didn’t have money to buy them.
It was another easy day. Ah Chen took note of tomorrow’s agenda: the gym.
She looked down at her footwear, which was totally unsuitable for exercise. She was even wearing a dress, and the clothes in her suitcase weren’t fit for exercising either.
After parting with Bai Chao, she initially planned to return to her room, but suddenly rembered that tomorrow’s agenda involved the gym.
And the clothes and shoes she was wearing weren’t suitable for exercise. If she rembered correctly, the clothes in her suitcase weren’t suited for exercise either.
She searched for the cruise ship’s map in her mind and quickly found the existence of the shopping street.
It wasn’t even five in the afternoon, so it should still be open.
Upon reaching the shopping street, it was indeed bustling, but currently only NPCs were entering and exiting.
She quickly found the sportswear section, where she purchased a set of sports clothes and a pair of sports shoes. Actually, sports clothes weren’t urgently needed, but she didn’t lack money—her card held several million now.
When she was about to pay, she rembered the swimming pool in the upcoming events and picked up a swimsuit as well. Not only that, she also checked for evening dresses, which were indeed available, with the lowest price starting at tens of thousands.
She gazed at the price list thoughtfully. Such expensive dresses weren’t sothing everyone could afford, especially the lucky ones who drew a ship ticket.
For the ball, evening wear was a must; otherwise, they might not even get through the door.
Not everyone could easily win money like she did; most people couldn’t even afford an evening dress.
She guessed that the people on the cruise would likely prepare for them, but if they didn’t ask, they might not be reminded.
The whole place was full of traps, and she had almost figured them out; many things required them to inquire themselves.
For instance, yesterday in her room, if she needed anything, she just had to call the extension. Otherwise, why was there a phone in the room?
Ah Chen didn’t buy an evening dress and left after paying.
On the third day, Ah Chen dressed in her sportswear and shoes. An hour after breakfast, she headed to the gym.
Quite a few people were already there, but the gym hadn’t opened yet, so everyone waited outside. When the crowd had mostly gathered, she roughly scanned and found there were only over sixty Adventurers left, indicating many were eliminated yesterday.
What would today’s challenge be?
Soon, the gym opened, and the manager appeared, lazily scanning the people outside, "Welco."
"Please present your gym card if you have one. If you don’t, please register for one."
Everyone now realized that getting a card would cost money!
Seeing no one moving, Ah Chen stepped forward, "Is there a one-ti experience card?"
The manager’s eye twitched slightly—another big shot—given how impressive she was yesterday, she surely was soone significant. The manager beca more serious, with a smile spread across her face, "Yes, ma’am."
