Chapter 259 Heading to the Poker District

"Wow, it actually landed!"

"Brother Qin Xuan, you're too lucky!"

Seeing the final result of the roulette wheel, Little Amy was the first to exclaim.

In American roulette, the odds of hitting a single number are as high as 35:1, with a probability of only 2.63%.

Qin Xuan had guessed this low probability correctly on his first try.

This luck was definitely the best among their group.

"It's just a shame the chips bet were a bit too small."

"With 100 US dollars in chips, the profit is only 3500 US dollars..."

"You little girl, you're not old but you have quite a gambling streak!"

Qin Xuan playfully tapped Amy's head, feigning annoyance.

"3500 US dollars is enough for a month's work as a guide, and you say it's not much? How much is much?"

"But 3500 US dollars here can't even cover a serious illness..."

Qin Xuan: "..."

Amy's aggrieved words left Qin Xuan stunned.

He had indeed heard that medical care in the United States had always been expensive.

But 3500 US dollars was nearly 20,000 Dragon coins!

To think that so much money here couldn't even cover a major illness was truly outrageous.

"I'm sorry, Amy. I didn't understand your life situation well enough, and I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."

Sensing Amy's lingering distress, Qin Xuan quickly apologized.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Amy began to cry.

"No, Brother Qin Xuan, Amy doesn't blame you."

"It's just, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's Teacher Gan." Amy sobbed.

"He's very, very sick and needs treatment."

"But I don't even have the money."

"I can't even take him to the hospital!"

"So you came out to be a guide by yourself, just to earn medical expenses for Teacher Gan?"

Hearing Amy's intermittent sobs, Qin Xuan finally understood why this young girl, who should have been in school, was working as a guide.

However, he was still unclear about one thing.

Why did she insist on being paid in chips instead of usable cash?

"That's right."

Amy nodded. "Teacher told me that one must rely on oneself."

"So, to treat him, I come out every day to guide tourists."

"I managed to buy a special medicine from a seller, but after Teacher took it, his condition worsened."

"He coughs desperately at home every day, and in the past two days, he's coughed up a lot of fresh blood."

"I'm so scared, scared he won't be able to hold on."

Amy became more and more distraught as she spoke.

Teacher Gan was almost her only family.

If she were to lose him one day, it would be an incredibly painful experience.

But before long, the little girl wiped away her tears.

After a slight sniffle, she looked back into Qin Xuan's eyes.

"But it's okay, I believe with my abilities, I can definitely get him to the hospital."

"Then, I'll have him stay in the best ward and receive the most advanced treatment!"

"Okay, I believe you!"

Seeing the determination shining in Amy's eyes, Qin Xuan was moved by her resilience.

If this little girl could maintain such a mindset, regardless of her background, she would undoubtedly grow into an excellent person in the future!

Having calmed her emotions, Little Amy returned to her previous lively and cheerful demeanor.

After watching Qin Xuan and the others play a couple more rounds of roulette, she led them further into the casino.

In the center of the casino was a bar where players could purchase common drinks.

Of course, if they were hungry, they could also go to the buffet restaurant next to the casino for a delicious meal at $20 per person.

"From this machine onwards is the poker area."

"Blackjack, Texas Hold'em, Baccarat, etc., are all over here."

After buying drinks for everyone at the bar, Qin Xuan and his group were led by Amy to a massive machine.

Above the machine was a large LCD screen displaying a beautiful dealer.

Below the screen were many horizontally placed small screens used for dealing cards.

This was a smart poker machine.

In the casino, the establishment missed no opportunity to make money.

Therefore, if someone disliked having a live dealer, they could play virtual poker games here.

"The Golden Casino does not engage in any cheating, but machines are programmed."

"Therefore, compared to machines, gamblers prefer to play at the tables."

"If you like, you can try a couple of hands on the machines first to get familiar, and then move to the tables."

After introducing the poker machine to everyone, Amy also explained the rules and details of various classic card games.

It had to be said that although the girl was young, she knew the rules and specifics of every gambling game like the back of her hand.

"I don't think it's that interesting. What do you think, Mi Wei?"

"Machines are indeed boring. The live dealers look more fun!"

After a brief discussion, the girls all felt that the live dealer tables inside were more engaging.

Qin Xuan also felt indifferent towards the cold machine, so the group reached a consensus and bypassed the machine, heading straight to the poker area.

This area was slightly different from the outer sections.

The number of people seated at each table was limited.

And between the tables, countless sexy waitresses were serving drinks.

Clearly, the environment and service here were slightly better than outside.

It was a pity that with better environment and service came more players.

Qin Xuan and his group looked around the vicinity but couldn't find any available tables.

As a result, they could only stop in front of tables that interested them and observe.

Watching others play might provide some useful experience.

Ten minutes later, just as Qin Xuan finished watching a game of Blackjack, a faint voice reached his ears.

He listened carefully and realized the voice belonged to Yuan Mengqi.

However, the voice was intermittent and buzzed like a mosquito.

If not for his extraordinary hearing, he might not have been able to hear what she was saying.

"Qin, Brother Qin Xuan, come here, there's an empty seat."

"Pfft..."

"I'm coming."

Following the sound, Qin Xuan almost burst out laughing.

He saw Yuan Mengqi, usually confident and cool, looking around awkwardly.

She looked like a thief who had just stolen something, afraid of drawing attention to her actions.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan quickly walked over.

Only when he reached Yuan Mengqi's side did she quietly sigh in relief and whisper into his ear, "General Qin, this is also Blackjack."

"Two people just left, you and I together can grab a spot first."

Qin Xuan nodded, a smile still on his lips.

Yuan Mengqi's pretty face flushed, and she pretended nothing had happened, directly taking the seat beside him.

Just as the dealer, seeing that the players were ready, was about to deal again, a commotion suddenly arose from a nearby table.

Qin Xuan curiously looked towards the source of the commotion, only to find that the center of the disturbance was none other than that petite and cute, yet poorly dressed little girl, Emily!
