Chapter 473: 467, Master Level Gambling Skills?!(First Update)_1

Steve had been frequently mocking Ren He these past two days, and Ren He had long wanted to use the Tear Potion on him. Today’s fake fundraising for Steve’s alleged bladder cancer was killing two birds with one stone, and Ren He thought he was simply too clever.

Once the first person donated, the second followed, and many spent nearly 20 minutes eating while watching, just to see if this was real or not.

Who says there can’t be scammers on a cruise? There are even beauties in luxury cars who lie about running out of fuel on the highway.

After watching for more than 20 minutes, Steve finally felt his tears were about to stop, and he was somewhat relieved that he wouldn’t have to cry anymore.

Although he didn’t know why he was crying, Steve was no fool. He was certain that this had something to do with Ren He, he just didn’t know how Ren He had managed it.

He was very aware that Ren He must have utilized some method to exploit him for everyone’s sympathy; his crying would probably convince them.

But... Steve would rather not have the money!

His tears gradually stopped, and then someone approached to inquire, "I’d like to know the specific symptoms of bladder cancer."

Ren He saw that the look in the questioner’s eyes was not confusion, but suspicion, which was a critical difference.

It’s very possible the questioner knew what symptoms bladder cancer caused, and the question was meant to see if the two of them were scammers.

However, the bladder cancer story was purely fabricated by Ren He; how would he know what symptoms it involved? How should he respond?

Steve, observing Ren He stealing glances at him and pretending to remain silent, suddenly had an ominous feeling...

All at once, everyone saw Steve, whose tears had almost stopped, suddenly burst into crying again with a loud wail. Someone by his side began to blame the inquiring man, "Can’t you see how pitiful he is and you still doubt him?"

The man who had asked was also a bit stupefied; how come he had started crying again...

It was this turn of events that resulted in everyone in the restaurant beginning to donate one after another, some even taking out 100 US dollars, and another person, who looked every inch the successful businessman, took out 500 US dollars and earnestly comforted Steve...

At that moment, Steve felt as if he were screwed over by fate, his tears, which he had almost managed to stop, inadvertently burst out again without any defense on his part!

Green US dollars fell into Ren He’s arms like snowflakes, and when Ren He felt it was about enough, he pressed Steve to bow to everyone.

He was clear that Steve hadn’t been planning to fully cooperate with him during this period, and might even be thinking of how to trick him, so Ren He felt no guilt at all.

Besides, the money was for Steve anyway!

After both of them returned to the dorm and washed off their makeup, Steve, with a dark face and red eyes, re-applied Ren He’s original makeup.

Ren He, sitting on the bed counting money, was shocked to find that they had managed to raise over 30,000 US dollars in one go! He hadn’t expected to raise so much; indeed, Steve’s 40-plus minutes of crying were worth it, he thought gleefully.

Steve looked on eagerly at the over 30,000 US dollars as Ren He counted out 10,000 US dollars to hand to Steve.

Steve was instantly bewildered, "Isn’t the fundraising for me? What are you keeping so much for!?"

Was there no justice? They had raised over 30,000, he had cried for over forty minutes, and you take the lion’s share? At least split it evenly!

However, Ren He’s mission was to donate the 10,000-dollar prize to someone else. The Divine Punishment System didn’t say he had to donate all the money...

However, after some thought, Ren He decided to play it safe. For the sake of a Perfect Level reward, Ren He counted out 500 US dollars and handed it to Steve, who nearly threw the cash on the floor in shock. Who the hell do you think you’re fooling!

But 500 US dollars is still money, after all. He only had 2000 US dollars on him originally, and it was shocking that he had managed to raise so much in less than an hour.

Steve started to think, why bother being an art thief when he could just cry every day and get paid for it?!

He realized something: what seemed to be such a difficult task for the average person no longer seemed to be an issue for Ren He at all. This miraculous feeling had indeed begun to earn Steve’s admiration.

The Knight truly was extraordinary, and not just in the realm of extreme sports. The more he interacted with Ren He, the more Steve felt he had wasted the first half of his life!

At this moment, the Divine Punishment System began to announce the reward: "Host has completed the task, evaluation: Perfect Level, can selectively choose a reward."

"Host has completed the task, evaluation: Perfect Level, can selectively choose a reward."

Having completed both tasks with Perfect Level ratings, Ren He was quite satisfied. He would be able to go to the casino and make a killing tonight.

In his previous life, he had played card games, including blackjack and Texas Hold’em, but he lost more often than he won. Ren He didn’t have a gambling addiction; it was purely for fun.

Now, however, he wanted to see just how magical gambling skills could be.

With Advanced level skills, he shouldn’t lose, right? Otherwise, what was the use of this skill?!

"Select, the gambling skill direction!"

The Divine Punishment System replied calmly, "Detecting that the host already has Basic Level gambling skills. Awarding Advanced Level gambling skills."

At that moment, the techniques of card counting were forcefully instilled into Ren He’s mind by the Divine Punishment System.

When Ren He heard this, he was stunned. His own skills qualified as Basic Level gambling skills? The first reward had already elevated him to Advanced Level gambling skills, and he was now confident that with card counting he could dominate blackjack. What would it be like to have his gambling skills upgraded to Master Level with the second reward...

Would it be like those magical tricks seen in movies where gamblers shoot cards or subtly switch them for deceit?

At this thought, Ren He held his breath, overwhelmed with surprise that came so abruptly he was utterly unprepared!

With excitement barely contained, Ren He said, "Choose, the gambling skill direction!"

"Gambling skill direction selected. Rewarding the host with Advanced Level card shuffling techniques."

Card shuffling techniques...

Techniques...

What a load of crap! Ren He felt his face darken immediately. He had a hunch that the Divine Punishment System wasn’t going to be that generous!

Why the hell would he need card shuffling techniques? In a real casino, you’re not allowed to touch the cards dealt to you, so shuffling cards is out of the question!

Ren He, with a scowl, left the dormitory, ready to test out his Advanced Level gambling skills. At the end of the day, he had only planned to upgrade to the Advanced Level anyway, so this result was somewhat acceptable.

Meanwhile, Steve laughed behind his back, clearly understanding what casinos were like. A novice trying to get an advantage in a casino was simply impossible.
