"Hahaha... So he bet on himself. No wonder, no wonder."

"Confidence is a good thing, but not realizing how ridiculous you look is just sad."

"He's the biggest idiot in the world. Case closed."

"I've seen plenty of fools in my time, but this is the first time I've ever seen one this monumental."

"..."

Almost simultaneously, all the gamblers erupted in mocking laughter, looking at Zhang Bin as if he were an idiot.

Betty and her two friends felt extremely awkward. They quickly moved to one side, putting distance between themselves and Zhang Bin to signal that they didn't know him. They weren't friends with an idiot.

Something isn't right here. Every time people have laughed at Zhang Bin for being an idiot, it turned out that the ones laughing were the real idiots, and he was about to come out way ahead, Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue thought at almost the exact same time. It had been just like this last time, when Zhang Bin won 16,400 USD at the Dawang Casino in the Island Nation.

They exchanged sly glances, instantly reaching a silent agreement.

Then Ma Rufei said naively, "I'll also bet one million USD on Zhang Bin. I'm betting he'll make it into the top one hundred."

"Me too..." Chen Chaoyue added with the same foolish grin.

They weren't pretending; they were genuinely smiling like fools, imagining how in just a few days, their one million USD would turn into two hundred million.

Since Zhang Bin owed each of them 1.5 billion USD, they didn't have much money left. It was a struggle for them to even scrape together one million USD. Otherwise, they definitely would have bet more.

In truth, their main purpose for attending the World King of Gamblers competition with Zhang Bin was to pick up women, but they also harbored intentions of getting rich alongside him. Although they were profligate playboys, they had a sharp eye for business.

"Wahaha... To think there are three such fools in the world..."

"There are fools every year, but this year has more than its share..."

"..."

The crowd roared with laughter, some nearly suffocating.

It made sense, logically speaking. If someone possessed incredible gambling skills, they wouldn't remain unknown. They would either be at a casino winning huge sums of money or accepting a lucrative position as a resident expert. Who had ever heard of an obscure master gambler?

Life wasn't a novel, nor was it a myth. It was impossible for a master gambler to just appear out of thin air.

Soon, the three of them had completed the process and received their betting slips.

Then, with their arms around each other's shoulders, they walked out, bathed in countless gazes of disdain and mockery.

Only when they had stepped out of the betting office did a blushing Betty and her two friends rejoin them.

"Betty, didn't you say you wanted to gamble? Why didn't you place a bet?" Zhang Bin asked with a wicked smile, wrapping an arm around Betty's slender waist.

"I'm waiting for the top one hundred to be announced before I place my bet," Betty said awkwardly.

"Oh, Betty, you've missed a golden opportunity to get rich," Ma Rufei said with a sigh. "I can assure you that Zhang Bin is as miraculous at this as he is in bed. In a few days, you'll be kicking yourself."

Chen Chaoyue simply looked at Betty as if she were an idiot. She's already slept with Zhang Bin, and she still doesn't believe in his abilities? What a foolish woman. I have no idea how she became the deputy leader of the Phoenix Organization, he thought.

"Zhang Bin, can you really make it into the top one hundred?" Betty asked, looking at him very seriously.

"I can't make any guarantees," Zhang Bin said with a sly smile. "But since you want to gamble, the possibility of losing is always the highest. So, just place a bet on a whim. Who knows? You might get lucky."

"Elsa, you go. Place a bet of ten thousand USD on Zhang Bin winning the World King of Gamblers competition," Betty ordered.

"Ten thousand USD?"

Zhang Bin and his two friends nearly fainted. They had thought Betty was going to make a huge gamble, but who would have guessed she was only betting ten thousand USD? This woman was absolutely hilarious.

Elsa reluctantly went to place the ten-thousand-dollar bet and was, of course, laughed at like a fool. Betting on an unknown Chinese contestant to win the title of World King of Gamblers? What was the difference between that and being a fool?

However, Betty was brimming with pride. "If I lose, it's only ten thousand USD, which I can afford. But if I win, I'll get ten million. That is the highest truth of gambling. Your bet of one million to win two hundred million? In terms of true gambling philosophy, you can't even compare to me."

Zhang Bin and his friends were left completely speechless.

Meanwhile, Elsa whispered to Marian, "I bet one hundred thousand. Fifty thousand for each of us."

"Sure," Marian nodded nonchalantly.

"See? Now they're the ones who have reached the highest realm of gambling," Zhang Bin said, looking at Elsa and Marian.

Betty stamped her foot in frustration. "You two idiots! How many times have I told you not to place large bets on dark horses? It's simply impossible..."

"Maybe we'll win this time," Elsa retorted, unconvinced.

"Yeah, it's not like Zhang Bin is guaranteed to lose," Marian chimed in.

"Then give me one reason why Zhang Bin could win," Betty challenged.

"His 'ding ding' is number one in the world," Elsa said with a mischievous smile.

"His staying power is also number one in the world," Marian added with a smirk. "Betty, you of all people must know that's true, right? Are you convinced now?"

"..."

Betty was so angry she was speechless.

Zhang Bin was stunned.

Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue, however, burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Naturally, it was the two of them who had told the girls about Zhang Bin's abilities in that particular area. They were just joking around and teasing them for fun. They never expected the girls would remember it so vividly, clearly envious of Betty.

They soon arrived at the hotel, checking directly into the presidential suite Zhang Bin had already booked online.

That night was particularly sensual and enchanting.

「The next day, Zhang Bin went to compete.」

Ma Rufei and the other four naturally went to the venue to watch.

The first round would eliminate over two thousand players, leaving only the top one hundred to advance.

The contestants were divided into fifty groups of sixty people each. The first and second-place player from each group would advance, while the rest would be eliminated.

The game was roulette.

A huge wheel spun counterclockwise. The croupier would then place an ivory or plastic ball on the wheel's slightly convex surface, spinning it in the opposite, clockwise direction. Gamblers could place bets continuously while the ball was in motion. As the ball slowed, it would drop into one of the slots between metal dividers, which were marked with the winning numbers and colors. The croupier would then collect the losing bets and pay the winners according to the rules.

Each contestant received one million USD in chips and could place up to ten bets. The two players with the highest winnings would be declared the first and second-place winners for the group.

During this process, any money won was yours to keep, even if you didn't advance. If you lost, however, the money was gone for good; there were no refunds.

The money won by the house was used for the prize pool.
