The casino was right downstairs, incredibly convenient.
This was also the reason why Camille Victoria chose to log out here; otherwise, she wouldn’t be willing to log out at this place.
Rooms in Paradise Hotel were anything but cheap!
It was only at this point that Shuihua realized that the hotel rooms above the casino were actually for logging out and saving!
Thinking of the free membership card she received during the closed beta, Shuihua felt heartbroken again.
But it was too late to say anything now. Holding her aching heart, Shuihua left the room with her teammates and entered the hallway.
On the corridor, there were not only them, but also several players coming out of their rooms and heading towards the elevator.
However, these people were puzzled when they saw ten people continuously coming out of one room, and one even came up to ask, “What’s going on with you guys? So many people in one room?”
But soon, the people beside him recognized Camille Victoria and Super Tomato and excitedly came up to ask for group photos.
Not only Camille Victoria and Super Tomato, even Shuihua was asked by them for a group photo.
Since the accidental exposure of [Freedom Day], Shuihua gradually became accustomed to appearing in her real image and rarely used the disguise plugin that Lincoln gave her.
When the live broadcast room saw this, many people started to tease:
“You can find the Goddess of Luck anywhere except for her own live broadcast room. What? She doesn’t have a live broadcast room? Never mind then!”
“Daily Triple Question: Did Lincoln’s house get its windows smashed? Did Roger win the championship? Did the Goddess of Luck start her live streaming?”
“Actually, they just wanted to take photos with the Goddess of Luck to share her luck. However, to save face for Camille Victoria and Super Tomato, they took a picture three times──The bystanders are really too gentle!”
Skipping the small interlude on the way, the group finally arrived at the casino and exchanged chips.
Super Tomato, using his previous experience in card counting, sat at the gambling table again──Although the previous experiment was not successful, it was difficult to say how valuable it was…
Shuihua and Xiaomei, having successfully helped Camille Victoria cheat before, resumed their old roles, peeking at opponents’ cards and relaying the information to Super Tomato.
The key difficulty lies here: players sitting at the gambling table cannot receive private messages from players inside the casino.
This most straightforward and rude private message loophole for exposing the bottom card was blocked by the development team at the earliest, and it could not even be transmitted to Lincoln.
Next was the interference group. Once a player won a lot, casino staff would gradually adjust their actions to approach the winning player more closely.
This would obviously make the player’s cheating window smaller and the difficulty greatly increased.
The interference group players were responsible for interfering with casino staff during this stage.
Whether it was talking, consulting, requesting alcohol, or even simply blocking the line of sight, malicious collision and pulling were also possible if needed.
In short, they would spare no effort to provide cover for Shuihua, Xiaomei, and Super Tomato.
Camille Victoria was in charge of coordination, constantly observing the whole field and filling in any gaps as needed.
With everyone in place, the [King of Thousands]operation began immediately!
With an abundance of information and preparation beforehand, the start was very smooth.
Super Tomato won six consecutive rounds, breaking his previous record by a large margin.
The originally prepared 100,000 chips easily rose to 480,000!
The previously lost 300,000 were quickly earned back in one breath.
However, when he looked up at Camille Victoria, he found that her hand was on her waist, subtly waving at him.
Super Tomato got the hint and deliberately lost three rounds with smaller bets.
Shuihua and Xiaomei also stopped their actions and switched to fully passive roles.
After three rounds, Camille Victoria saw that the two waiters who had changed their movement routes in the first place changed again, no longer approaching Super Tomato.
So she silently nodded her head, signaling the operation to continue.
Super Tomato immediately increased his chips, won four rounds in a row, lost two, and then won another two.
Even if he lost four games in a row after that, it would be impossible to continue misleading the casino staff.
That’s because the pile of chips in front of Super Tomato had already exceeded 1.2 million!
This amount of money, in top-level casinos in real life, might go unnoticed.
However, in Night City, if a player gets a million, the system can’t ignore it!
Two waiters changed their routes, constantly wandering around the gambling table with alcohol and snacks.
The interference team immediately stepped forward to request drinks.
But when the waiter got busy, a key companion gambler approached Super Tomato, showing great interest in the big winner.
Super Tomato’s mind was very clear, and he said rudely: “Please keep your distance, you’re interrupting my good luck.”
The sexy companion gambler had a stiff expression but didn’t leave. Instead, she directly replaced a gambler at the gaming table and joined the game.
At this stage, there was no need to pretend to lose anymore. As long as the cards in his hand could win, he would go all-out to win!
Win as much as possible!
Finally, before they were completely caught, they escaped and then—divided the money, becoming wealthy in one stroke!
With this mindset, the pile of chips in front of Super Tomato began to grow rapidly!
Everyone took action, doing their best to interfere with the NPCs.
Even the other players in the casino, especially those who were watching the live stream and found themselves in the same game, came forward to actively help interfere with the NPCs.
At one point, two players even stand in front of the casino inspector, refusing to give way until they were dragged out by the casino security.
Seeing this, Camille Victoria and Super Tomato weren’t only happy but also immediately began planning their retreat.
Lincoln outside the screen also thought they should retreat.
Because those familiar with the players know: Players are chaotic, and many times can be classified into a chaotic evil faction.
When many players help you, you can be happy, but you must be vigilant as there are definitely some ready to take advantage.
Sure enough, a player’s yell erupted in the casino-
“They’re cheating!” The player jumped onto the table, pointing at Super Tomato and Xiaomei, shouting loudly, “There are ten of them, working together to cheat!”
In an instant, Camille Victoria in the crowd, Super Tomato who called the service staff to clean up the chips, Shuihua and Xiaomei who silently withdrew from the crowd, and the interference team members all felt tense.
Then, all the visible staff in the lobby turned their eyes to them!
They all looked at each other silently, conveying their thoughts through eye contact—
Should we run?
Run! Take the chips and run!
Just possessing the chips could be exchanged for money, at most divide them into several parts and exchange them multiple times!
However, just as Super Tomato pounced on the chips, something unexpected happened to everyone—
Boom!!!
A loud noise came from the entrance of the casino.
Immediately afterward, a dense burst of gunfire erupted!
Several stray bullets even entered the lobby, and two gamblers were shot in the head and fell dead on the spot!
The next moment, panicked gamblers running around, security rushing towards the entrance, staff trying to protect the chips, Camille Victoria’s team members rushing to help Super Tomato grab chips, and players nearby seizing the opportunity to rob the chips…
Everyone took action!
There were chaotic crowds everywhere, noisy yelling, and gunfire and explosions close to the ear!
The entire casino was instantly plunged into chaos!
