I rely on unlimited life extension

Zhong Chuxiong's eyes were instantly drawn to the stack of banknotes. He nodded hurriedly and said repeatedly, "I believe you, I believe you, Baldy."

Lin Zhihao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go and exchange for chips."

Zhong Chuxiong waved his hand and explained, "No need. Except for those big players who like to exchange chips, small fry like us just throw cash onto the table."

"Hao, Baldy, come with me." With that, he led the way into the casino.

Zhong Chuxiong strode ahead, looking arrogant, while Lin Zhihao followed leisurely behind.

Along the way, Lin Zhihao noticed that Zhong Chuxiong was greeting people enthusiastically from time to time. Judging from this, the guy was obviously not lying and did have some influence in the casino.

Zhong Chuxiong led Lin Zhihao through the casino, showing him all the gambling halls that individual gamblers could enter and letting him experience all the different games. Finally, he led him to the dice table where people played dice games.

"Baldy, it's all up to you now," Zhong Chuxiong said, leaning closer to Lin Zhihao in a low voice.

Lin Zhihao calmly pulled out a stack of banknotes worth about ten thousand yuan and gently tossed them into the area representing "big". The dice cup was opened, and the three dice showed 2, 4, and 2, totaling 8 points, which was "small", and he lost this round.

Lin Zhihao remained calm, took out another 10,000 yuan, and placed his bet on "small" again. The dice landed: 1, 5, 2, 8 (small), and he won this round.

Immediately afterwards, he bet another 10,000, but the result was still "small". The dice rolled 4, 5, 6, and 15, which was "big", and he lost again in this round.

After a dozen or so rounds, the overall result was more losses than wins.

After all, Lin Zhihao stubbornly bet on "small" most of the time, and unknowingly lost nearly 100,000 yuan.

Zhong Chuxiong watched from the side and couldn't help but feel anxious. He secretly calculated in his heart that 100,000 yuan was no small amount; it was enough for him to live a carefree life for a month.

Lin Zhihao calmly pressed down on Zhong Chuxiong's hand and asked in a low voice, "What is the maximum betting limit here?"

Zhong Chuxiong quickly replied, "5 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhihao did not hesitate to take out 5 yuan in cash and throw it neatly into the "large" betting area.

All eyes were fixed on the dice cup. As the dealer gently opened the cup, the numbers on the three dice were revealed, and this hand was indeed a "big".

Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhihao seemed to be blessed by Lady Luck, as if divinely aided, and every bet he placed was accurate in predicting the outcome.

The atmosphere in the game grew increasingly tense, and more and more onlookers gathered around, exclamations of surprise rising and falling.

Only one hand resulted in a triple (333), which, according to the rules, meant the casino won all the hands. Even so, Lin Zhihao subsequently won over a dozen more hands in a row.

Zhong Chuxiong watched with bated breath, his heart pounding in his chest. Unable to contain his elation any longer, he began to dance and shout wildly, his hearty laughter echoing through the casino, releasing the surging excitement within him.

However, just when everyone thought Lin Zhihao would press his advantage, he suddenly stopped, gathered the money he had won, neatly packed it up, and turned to leave.

Zhong Chuxiong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Baldy, don't go, keep playing."

Lin Zhihao grabbed his arm and said firmly, "Calm down first, then we'll continue playing."

After saying that, he went and exchanged a full bag of change without further ado. Then he walked over to the slot machine and said to Zhong Chuxiong, "Let's play the slot machine for a while to clear our heads."

After playing the slot machines for a while, Zhong Chuxiong's emotions gradually calmed down.

Lin Zhihao then explained, "If I had continued playing, the casino owner would have invited us in for a 'good chat.' Didn't you notice that some casual patrons have started betting alongside us?"

Zhong Chuxiong was unconvinced and retorted, "Doesn't that just prove that you, Baldy, are a skilled gambler? It's normal for people to follow your bets."

Lin Zhihao rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "Normal my ass! When we win money, the casino loses money. If you were the casino owner, would you be happy?"

Zhong Chuxiong was speechless for a moment, then retorted, "So what? Are casino owners afraid of people winning money?"

Lin Zhihao smiled and patiently explained, "Winning money is certainly possible, but it depends on who it is. If a big client wins 1000 million, the casino isn't afraid, because he'll definitely come back to play again."

But if a casual customer wins 200 million, they might never come back again in their lifetime, do you believe it?

Casinos aren't afraid of you winning money; they're afraid you'll win and then just walk away, never to return.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Chuxiong said, "Baldy, you're right. How about we go and win a dozen more rounds against him, and then stop? Okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhihao couldn't help but laugh out loud and retorted, "I'm asking you, what are we here for?"

Zhong Chuxiong scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then replied, "We're just here to have fun, aren't we?"

Lin Zhihao nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we're here to have fun and relax, not just to win money, and we certainly can't offend the casino owner. Come on, let's count how much we've won so far?"

Zhong Chuxiong did as instructed, setting aside the bag full of coins and beginning to carefully count the banknotes.

Not long after, he excitedly shouted, "Baldy, after deducting the initial investment, we won 55! Wow, we're rich now!"

Seeing that Zhong Chuxiong was getting excited again, Lin Zhihao quickly snatched the money and said, "Now, I'll play the slot machines here. You take the 50 and go play in that VIP card room we just went to."

"You've come all this way, so let you have a good time. As for the remaining 5 yuan, we'll go out for supper later, and then we'll head back to Hong Kong."

However, just as Zhong Chuxiong excitedly accepted the 50 yuan with a beaming smile, stuffing the banknotes into his upper and lower pockets until they were full, he swaggered out arrogantly.

Seeing this, Lin Zhihao quickly added, "Be careful! If you lose all your money, come out quickly and don't offend anyone."

Zhong Chuxiong laughed nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've been around here for years. Whether they're big shots or small fry, who would dare not give me, Killer Xiong, some face?"

After Lin Zhihao had walked away, the nonchalant expression on his face gradually faded.

In fact, when he had just won more than ten games in a row, he had to exert a lot of effort to control his excitement.

After all, this was his first time entering such a legitimate casino, and the first time he had ever used the miraculous detection ability of the Divine Healer skill's effect five to know the numbers of the three dice in advance with only 1 point of energy each time. This allowed him to maintain a winning position and keep winning money even if the casino did not cheat.

As Killer Bear jumped around excitedly, he suddenly realized that there were many more people around him. Although he didn't know how many of them were from the casino, he was certain that he was being watched.

Even though Lin Zhihao was sitting there alone, playing the slot machine half-heartedly, there was still a pair of men's eyes watching him closely from behind.

Less than an hour later, Zhong Chuxiong returned dejectedly.

He plopped down and began to recount his experiences in the VIP room.

He said he met Liu Yaozu and Ms. Mengna there. At first, everything went smoothly for him. He got three 7s in a row, outmaneuvering five opponents and making a profit of 18.

However, his good fortune didn't last long. After that, his luck took a sharp turn for the worse, and he eventually lost all the change in his wallet.

Lin Zhihao smiled and comforted him, "Come on, I have some change here. Let's put it all in and then go back."

Zhong Chuxiong, however, was unwilling to give up and pleaded, "But, Baldy, I'm not willing to give up. Let's go to the gambling den one more time. If we win another 50, we'll turn around and leave, okay?"

Lin Zhihao's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Your mentality is wrong. You're really treating the casino like your own ATM. If it's just small bets, the casino might not care, but once you cross the casino's bottom line, I guarantee you'll be floating on the sea tomorrow morning, swimming back to Hong Kong on your own."

Upon hearing this, a look of fear immediately appeared on Zhong Chuxiong's face.

Lin Zhihao smiled and patiently advised, "You have to remember that any casino opens for business to make a profit. No one will willingly hand over the money in their pocket."

If you even consider treating a casino like an ATM, you're not far from disaster. I once read a novel where an old man said he'd won his whole life at casinos, yet no casino ever refused him, because he wasn't greedy. Understand?

Zhong Chuxiong shook his head helplessly and said, "I was just saying it casually. Who wouldn't want to win more money?"

The two then threw all the remaining coins into the slot machine, intending to decide the winner in one go.

Unexpectedly, this time their luck was off the charts, and the machine actually won a jackpot of 50 times the original amount, turning the original 7000 yuan into just a few yuan.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Chuxiong burst into laughter again and couldn't wait to run over to claim his award.

Lin Zhihao was very generous. When he returned, he immediately gave him 20 yuan, saying, "Take this money and consider it your earnings for today."

Lin Zhihao checked the time and asked, "It's almost two o'clock, do you still want to play a little longer?"

Zhong Chuxiong's face was full of eagerness, but when he thought about his luck tonight, he reluctantly gave up the idea and replied, "Forget it, let's go back first, and come back to dominate tomorrow night."

As the two walked out of the casino, Zhong Chuxiong said enthusiastically, "I won money today, so it's my treat for supper."

Lin Zhihao asked with some difficulty, "It's so late, what should we eat?"

After a moment's thought, Zhong Chuxiong said, "There's a very famous Tan Family Shark Fin restaurant on Da'ao Street. I've wanted to try it for a long time. Now that I have the money, let's go!"

The two arrived at Tan's Shark Fin Restaurant by car. Although it was already 2 a.m., there were still quite a few customers in the restaurant.

The bright red signboard at the entrance of the shop, with its gilded characters slightly covered in soot, and the exterior walls adorned with numerous photos showcasing various shark fin set meals.

Zhong Chuxiong shouted loudly and casually, "Give me two servings of the most expensive shark fin!"

The owner hurriedly came forward and said, "The premium abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw meal is 2688 per person. Is that alright with you?"

Zhong Chuxiong, with his wealth and arrogance, said, "Give me five portions. Eat two here, and pack the other three to take back to Hong Kong."

The boss nodded repeatedly, responded, and then turned and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Before long, the owner appeared, his hands seemingly carrying immense strength, steadily holding two stone pots.

The stone pots resembled two small volcanoes, continuously spewing out hot and enticing aromas.

Inside the stone pot, shark fin, like an elegant dancer, dances hand in hand with abalone, fish maw, and sea cucumber.

The tender texture of shark fin glides lightly across the tongue, then bounces back instantly, as if telling the secrets of the deep ocean.

The abalone is firm and chewy, the fish maw melts in your mouth like a dense cloud, and the sea cucumber carries the strength and resilience of the sea.

The broth is like the essence of time, so rich and flavorful that it's impossible to forget, and every drop contains countless delicious stories.

Sprouts and coriander, like lively sprites, leap and weave on this culinary stage. Their freshness adds a bright touch to this rich and savory picture, making it more layered, as if presenting the entire universe of taste in this small stone pot.

Zhong Chuxiong's eyes were already fixed on the stone pot, just like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey.

As soon as the stone pot was placed in the ground, he started eating as quickly as a tiger pouncing on its prey.

The slurping sounds of eating and the blowing sounds of blowing on hot food seemed to be playing a unique battle song for this culinary feast.

His face was filled with ecstasy and satisfaction, and his body swayed slightly involuntarily. He was completely immersed in this unparalleled culinary extravaganza, as if everything around him had ceased to exist, and only the delicious food in the stone pot was everything at this moment.

Before he'd even taken a few bites of the shark fin soup in the first stone pot, he picked up another one, excitedly exclaiming as he ate, "This stuff is so delicious! I've never had the chance to eat it before. I'm going to eat my fill today!"

Lin Zhihao, however, had no interest in the food. He asked with focused attention, "You just saw Liu Yaozu and Mengna in the VIP room? Tell me what kind of people they are."

Zhong Chuxiong swallowed the food in his mouth and joked with a smile, "What? Baldy, you also want to get to know the upper class? That's easy to arrange."

Liu Yaozu wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked very refined.

However, based on my ten years of experience in prison, that kid is definitely a typical two-faced type.

He appears refined and cultured on the surface, but is actually full of bad intentions; he's definitely not a kind person.

As for Miss Mona, she was breathtakingly beautiful, especially her figure—it was absolutely mesmerizing! Those long legs of hers felt longer than my life!

Seeing that Zhong Chuxiong's topic was starting to veer off course again, Lin Zhihao shook his head helplessly, thought for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "If you were asked to pursue that Miss Mona, do you think you could do it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Chuxiong immediately put down the shark fin he was holding, his eyes shining as he asked, "Baldy, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Zhihao calmly explained, "I think you're quite handsome and charming. Chasing after Miss Mona shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
