Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Su Yang had been instilled with the idea of ​​staying away from pornography, gambling, and drugs since childhood. He avoided these places like the plague and was well aware of their harm, so he was somewhat resistant to them.

Seeing that Su Yang and Lin Anlan seemed confused and hesitant, the man said, "It seems you two ordered the 'Life and Death Bond' special wine by chance. And judging from your appearance, this is probably your first time in such a place. If you don't know how to play, that's fine. I can give you ten gold coins to try your luck. If you lose, consider it a gift from me. If you win, you don't need to give me any more; just return the gold coins to me. How about that?"

Su Yang was about to refuse when Lin Anlan, who was standing to the side, agreed. She had been focused on improving her strength and knew nothing about these worldly matters. Since she was already there, she figured she couldn't satisfy her curiosity without trying her hand at it: "Okay, you can introduce it to me first."

"No problem!" The man was also very excited and introduced with a cheerful smile: "We have two games here, Crazy Solitaire and Deadly Slate. Both games are very simple. Let's talk about Crazy Solitaire first. Each person will receive two cards at the start. The sum of the points on the cards is the initial points. If the sum exceeds ten points, the two cards can be separated and bet on separately. Our dealer will then deal the cards separately. If the final sum of the cards exceeds twenty points, you lose. If it doesn't exceed twenty points, or is less than the dealer's total, or is the same, you also lose. But if it's greater than the dealer's total, you win and can earn double the amount bet. However, if you lose, you also have to pay double."

He paused for a moment, then continued his explanation: "This Deadly Stone Slab game is simple to play, but even more exciting. You can gamble with money, or you can gamble with other things. As for what you gamble with, you can decide for yourself. Each person has three stone slabs and a stone hammer. Both sides use their stone hammers to strike the other's stone slabs. The side that breaks the most pieces at the end wins. It's that simple. Please, you two."

After saying that, he led Su Yang and Lin Anlan to a table. Su Yang whispered to Lin Anlan, "Let's play a couple of rounds and then leave quickly. This place isn't good."

"What's there to be afraid of? They can't eat me, can they? We can just lose all ten gold coins and leave, or win and give them back and leave. Let's play a couple of rounds." Lin Anlan's curiosity was completely piqued. She had never known that there was such a strange way to play. After hearing the introduction, she was even more eager to try it.

Upon arriving at the table, they saw seven or eight chairs around it. After the two sat down, the other seats at the table were quickly filled as well. Lin Anlan chose to play Crazy Solitaire first. As the cards were dealt, Lin Anlan picked one up and looked at it. She saw that two cards had 7 and 10 written on them. Su Yang thought that he should separate the cards and place his bets, but Lin Anlan folded the cards after glancing at them. When it was his turn, he placed a bet of one gold coin and stopped dealing cards, calling for a stop.

Su Yang was taken aback, then realized that seventeen was almost twenty. Rather than splitting up and increasing the risk, it was better to maintain the status quo. After everyone had been dealt their cards, it was the dealer's turn to deal. He first looked at his own hole cards, then dealt one card. After looking at it, he stopped. When the cards were revealed, everyone else either had more points or were lower than the dealer's. The dealer's three cards were 5, 3, and 8, which was exactly sixteen, only slightly lower than Lin Anlan's.

After successfully winning two gold coins, Lin Anlan excitedly patted Su Yang on the shoulder and said, "You know what, it's quite interesting!" At that moment, a person on the second floor was watching the two downstairs' every move with a sneer, and said disdainfully, "Two idiots, get excited, but in the end you'll still be ruined by these cards."

This man was none other than Boan Xiu. This enormous venue was a combination of a casino and a brothel, which he and Viscount Alban jointly owned. It was also the largest casino under his control, making a fortune every day. Therefore, he would come here to check on things from time to time.

Lin Anlan played several more rounds, winning every single one. At first, he bet one gold coin at a time, but after winning several rounds, he started betting two or three coins at a time, and then doubled his winnings again. His gold coins gradually accumulated to more than fifty. Lin Anlan then generously bet ten gold coins, but unfortunately, he lost to the dealer in this round, losing twenty gold coins in one go.

But Lin Anlan didn't seem very willing to give up. He looked at the more than thirty gold coins in his hand, then placed another ten bets, but still lost. He lost another twenty gold coins. Lin Anlan was a little annoyed, so he simply switched to playing the Death Stone Slab.

After the game was changed, everyone at the table left, leaving only one or two people willing to continue. Lin Anlan chose one of the uncles and smashed the stone slab with the stone hammer in his hand. Instantly, the stone slab shattered into pieces. After three smashes, the uncle only had eighteen pieces, while Lin Anlan had twenty-six pieces.

Since the bet was one gold coin, the uncle readily handed one gold coin to Lin Anlan, indicating that she should continue. The two then agreed on a new bet of two gold coins. This time, Lin Anlan won again, which restored her confidence and made her spirits rise.

Su Yang saw it all and understood that it was all a casino's scheme to slowly arouse people's gambling instincts and trap them. Once trapped, whether they won or lost was not so simple.

After several rounds of competition, Lin Anlan won every time, and her gold coins increased to more than fifty. Then she became bolder in her betting and placed a bet of twenty gold coins in one go. But this time something seemed strange. The uncle was still the same uncle, and the stone hammer was still the same stone hammer. However, this time Lin Anlan only broke thirteen pieces of the stone slab, while the uncle broke a full thirty-two pieces of the stone slab.

Anyone with eyes could see something was wrong, but the people at the table and Lin Anlan seemed oblivious. After a moment of confusion, Lin Anlan became somewhat annoyed and shouted, "Let's continue! This time I'm betting all my gold coins, thirty-four gold coins!" Hearing Lin Anlan's words, Su Yang couldn't help but feel anxious. If he let her continue like this, what would he use as a bet for the next round if he lost this one?

As expected, Lin Anlan lost the game again, and even lost all ten gold coins that the man had given her at the beginning. Just when Su Yang thought that Lin Anlan would not stop, Lin Anlan clapped her hands and said in a relaxed tone, "It was quite interesting. Let's go. I've had my fill of playing."

Su Yang was overjoyed and quickly prepared to leave with Lin Anlan. At this moment, the man reappeared and stopped the two, saying, "You're having so much fun, don't you want to continue? Do you think you can vent the frustration you feel after losing?"

"But we're out of money, how are we supposed to play?" Lin Anlan asked, blinking her eyes.

"Money is a small matter. I have plenty of money. How about this, I'll give you another ten gold coins, but this time I can't just give them away for free. I have to calculate some interest, like 30% interest. How about that?"

After hearing this, Su Yang silently calculated in his mind: "Thirty percent? 30% of ten gold coins is three gold coins, and 30% of three gold coins is nine silver coins, which is almost one gold coin. Goodness, 10% interest, that's really outrageous."

She subtly tugged at Lin Anlan's clothes, and Lin Anlan, understanding her meaning, said, "Let's forget it. We had a lot of fun today. Let's come again another day when we have time. We have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."

As she and Su Yang prepared to leave, the man's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Stop." Lin Anlan turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"You can leave, but you have to pay back the money first."
