"What!" Luo Chao was shocked upon hearing this, "You almost vomited blood on the spot? Just how explosive was that IOU for it to make you so angry?"
"Hahahahaha." Hearing Luo Chao's words, Zuo Dahai laughed maniacally instead, "Explosive, indeed it's explosive! Do you know what was written on that IOU?"
"I don't know." Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi both shook their heads honestly.
"Heh, let tell you, the IOU was written like this: On the 29th of this month, at 9:33:42 PM, our company lent Mr. Zuo Dahai six million Huaxia Coin. Mr. Zuo Dahai shall repay our company sixty million Huaxia Coin, principal plus interest, before 9:33:42 PM on the 30th, for a period of 24 hours." Zuo Dahai said angrily.
"My goodness!" Upon hearing this, even Luo Chao, who had always been knowledgeable and unflappable, felt incredibly shocked.
"Those loan sharks actually demand you repay sixty million in 24 hours, that's ten tis the interest!" Luo Chao exclaid, "Ten tis the interest is indeed high, but it's not uncommon for so insane loan shark companies. Yet demanding full repaynt of ten tis interest in just 24 hours isn't just insane, it's pushing you to a dead end!"
"Hahahaha, I knew you'd say that. Well, doesn't it sound ridiculous to you too? Let tell you, I found it even more absurd at the ti, but what can I do, I was broke! Back then, my mind was solely focused on gambling, thinking if luck favored , I could profit a billion overnight with six million, pay off the sixty million, and still have forty million in hand, wouldn't that be wonderful!" Zuo Dahai said with a bitter smile.
"You're speaking as if it were completely reasonable!" Luo Chao looked at Zuo Dahai with an incredulous expression, "At that ti, regardless of whether you could win or not, even if you won every round, turning six million into sixty million in 24 hours is an extrely difficult task!"
"To accomplish such a daunting task: one, you must be a gambling god; two, it's not enough to just be a gambling god, there must also be a particularly wealthy fool at the casino willing to lose money to you. Without eting both criteria simultaneously, how could you possibly win sixty million at the casino overnight with six million?"
Hearing Zuo Dahai's story, Luo Chao truly thought the past Zuo Dahai was a super fool. He couldn't believe there were people like Zuo Dahai who had completely lost the ability to think in the world.
According to Luo Chao's experience, although those gamblers in the casino were addicted to gambling, winning less than losing, their minds were at least normal, knowing how much they could gamble and how much they couldn't.
However, based on Luo Chao's judgnt from Zuo Dahai's story, Luo Chao believed Zuo Dahai wasn't rely a gambler but a gambling fanatic!
A so-called gambling fanatic is soone who can disregard everything for gambling, even dare to gamble their life recklessly.
Yet, based on Luo Chao's experience, gambling fanatics compared to gamblers are rather lazy in gambling techniques and almost always end up losing.
However, aside from their rotten gambling skills, gambling fanatics are usually those who were richer before, arrogant and proud, thus after repeatedly losing, they turned crazy, eventually becoming gambling fanatics.
And Zuo Dahai was obviously the most classic and live case of a person who turned insane from gambling, thus becoming a gambling fanatic!
Although Luo Chao had many thoughts, Zuo Dahai didn't know what Luo Chao was thinking. Otherwise, his mood might turn extrely bad upon knowing.
However, after listening to Luo Chao's words, Zuo Dahai showed a strange expression and said, "Brother Luo Chao, your analysis is spot-on. Actually, I had thought of what you said back then, that's why I almost vomited blood, because I knew it was nearly an impossible task."
"But, the twist cos here, just when I was about to give up, those loan sharks gave a tip."
"They said, tonight a foolish rich guy with both poor gambling skills and bad luck would be at the casino, and this foolish rich guy particularly enjoys playing the gambling ga I'm best at and love. If I could manage to play against him tonight, there's a good chance I could win a billion from him!"
"At that ti, hearing them say that felt like seeing a reflection of myself years ago. Initially, I hesitated, since it's rare to co across soone so similar to oneself, I felt bad about taking advantage of him. However, after so inner conflict and the loan sharks' coercion and inducent, I decided to take the gamble!"
"So, I took the money, signed that IOU, and the loan shark company arranged through special ans to have play in the sa gambling session with that foolish rich guy. At that ti, I thought, heaven treated kindly, giving such an opportunity to turn things around!"
"Once I sat at the gambling table, I imdiately spotted the foolish rich guy. He was a chubby, goofy-looking old man wearing a floral shirt, evidently a rural rich bumpkin! His image matched my ntal expectation of a foolish rich guy precisely."
"Thus, that night, full of confidence, I played with that foolish rich guy over several dozen rounds, the gambling ga spanned more than twenty hours. Even the guinea pigs switched several tis. In the final hour before the IOU repaynt deadline, I managed to win sixty million from that foolish rich guy!"
"After winning sixty million consecutively, I felt a bit carried away, completely forgetting the money wasn't mine, forgetting I still had to repay. When I realized it, I started to panic."
"Because I knew once I repaid the sixty million, I'd still be penniless, basically rendering my whole night a futile endeavor!"
"Hence, in the final round, greed got the better of , I chose to bet the entire sixty million at once. However, inexplicably the foolish rich guy had a stroke of luck and won!"
Luo Chao nodded secretly upon hearing this, realizing there was no such coincidence in the world, that so-called foolish rich guy was anything but simple!
Zuo Dahai continued, "Just like that, maybe as revenge, the foolish rich guy took away all the money I won that night, turning from a penniless man into a real foolish person owing sixty million in loan shark debt!"
