I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Chapter 65: Chapter 62 Seek Wealth in Peril! Chapter 65: Chapter 62 Seek Wealth in Peril! Convenience Store.
Just as the blond young man who wanted to eat instant noodles left the table to eat, it resulted in one less person on the battlefield.
Since they were short of players and couldn’t continue the game, everyone was just about to call it quits and head home to find their respective mothers, when Chen Xixi volunteered bravely.
“If you guys want to keep playing, I can stand in for a bit,” Chen Xixi said as she tossed the instant noodle bowl, soup and all, into the trash can and walked into the room.
The other three lads weren’t quite done playing and weren’t too keen to leave the table.
Mainly because they were having an unlucky day today, constantly losing, and it was really uncomfortable not to win some Money back.
The blond young man who had just gone to eat instant noodles had wanted to go home for a meal long ago, but had not managed to leave because the others were holding him back.
One of the buzz-cut lads lifted his head to look at Chen Xixi’s simple, innocent, and obedient face, which didn’t seem like the face of someone who knew how to play, perhaps just wanting to play for fun.
However, this was also a good opportunity for them to win back some Money, having lost all day.
The buzz-cut lad said casually: “Let’s play then!”
Chen Xixi is pretty, a real beauty, but there’s no father-son relationship at the gambling table, nor special treatment of the opposite sex, so none of the three lads at the same table with her had any intention of giving her an easy time.
In their eyes, there was only winning and losing.
[Can Chen Xixi really do it? Convenience stores are usually where the village experts gather. The sixty-three yuan Chen Xixi just earned might not even cover her losses!]
[I think it’s doubtful, too. Those who play in the convenience store are generally not bad players. Is Chen Xixi so desperate for prize money that she’s trying to take a risky, high-reward approach?]
[I think, based on Chen Xixi’s past performance, she definitely wouldn’t do something she’s not sure of. I believe in Chen Xixi!]
[What past performance? She wouldn’t do something she’s not sure of? Have you guys forgotten about her wanting to compete with Zheng He in fishing this morning? If Zheng He had really agreed, she’d be completely broke right now! So I think she’s just never suffered a big loss, so she’s not afraid of anything and doesn’t realize how treacherous the world is. Just wait a bit, she’ll be in tears!]
Forty minutes later, when the three lads took out Money again, they were utterly dumbfounded!
Who says a girl who looks like a little bunny must be obedient?
Chen Xixi completely shattered their impression of a well-behaved girl!
Because she knew how to play even better than they did!
The blond young man had won as well, but in terms of winning rate, he was no match for Chen Xixi.
The three people who had hoped to win back some capital from Chen Xixi were now close to losing their shorts.
The buzz-cut lad, looking at the cards Chen Xixi had pushed down on the table, incredulously asked, “How come you keep winning? How do you do it?”
Chen Xixi casually leaned her elbow on the edge of the table, then looked at the buzz-cut lad, raised her hand, and pointed to her head, not saying a word.
Chen Xixi could almost remember clearly what cards were played on the table, so guessing what someone would win with or what they were short of was not guaranteed to be accurate nine out of ten times, but she could make a pretty good guess seven or eight times out of ten.
In the world of casual players, this could be considered quite a masterful skill.
Chen Xixi neatly arranged the Twelve yuan she just won, along with the previously won thirty-six yuan, and placed them under the table mat to keep the Money a little flatter.
The other three lads: “…”
Although Chen Xixi was just stating the facts, why did they feel like their souls had been hurt?
Another lad, who had lost Money, felt his heart bleeding as he skeptically asked Chen Xixi, “Did you cheat?”
“No,” Chen Xixi denied.
The buzz-cut lad scratched his head, feeling uncomfortable with the losses but didn’t want to go home just like that, it was too hard to accept, he really wanted to win back the lost Money!
In the end, he decided he would sit through one last round, he was sure he could win it back in the last round!
He turned his head and looked at the blond young man eating chicken feet next to Chen Xixi, and an idea suddenly came to him, he quickly said, “Finish up quick and get over here, come on!”
Having the blond young man return to his original seat and swapping out Chen Xixi would make it easier for them to win.
After all, Chen Xixi was too skilled.
The blond young man, thoroughly engrossed in watching Chen Xixi play cards, replied, “No, you play. I find her play very interesting, I want to watch closely and learn.”
Chen Xixi was playing so well that admiration and respect were evident in the blond young man’s eyes as he watched her.
The other three: “!!!” You’re still learning, keep it up and we’ll black-list you from our mahjong circle!
[I really thought Chen Xixi was going to lose, but who’d have thought she’d win so much money! I was wrong about you, Sister Xi, I shouldn’t have doubted your skills behind your back. I’ll punish myself by going to stand in the corner!]
[Chen Xixi is so awesome! Speaking of which, since she’s won so much, she should treat herself to some ham, right? I felt like she was drooling over it while standing in front of the shelf.]
[Just go home after losing so badly, why even play mahjong with skills like that!]
[Why does Chen Xixi always fold her money so neatly?]
[Speaking of which, is this considered gambling? I’m a bit worried that Chen Xixi might get taken away…]
Chen Xixi played another round and, after winning 111 yuan, she glanced outside the window; the sky had already turned very dark. Stretching her body, she said, “It’s late, you all should head home for dinner.”
The buzz-cut guy, gritting his teeth, still refused to give up: “No way! Another round, let us win some back!”
Just then, the other four guests who had been sitting by the fishpond all afternoon walked in.
Upon seeing Chen Xixi sitting inside, Zheng He quickly approached, “Chen Xixi, why are you playing mahjong here?”
Chen Xixi looked up at him and blinked, “Do I have to report to you when I play mahjong? Besides, who said mahjong is off limits?”
Zheng He was rendered speechless by her retort.
Following that, Zheng He saw Chen Xixi pull out a neat stack of change from under the table mat, aligning and pocketing the money neatly.
Where the money came from goes without saying.
Zheng He’s heart was nearly sprouting a whole lemon tree!
Seeing Chen Xixi starting to collect her money, the buzz-cut guy hastily said: “Don’t leave, play another round!”
Zheng He, realizing that Chen Xixi was about to leave the table, yet the loser didn’t want her to go, immediately spoke up: “She’s done playing, I’ll take over!”
Chen Xixi didn’t mind; she always preferred to quit while she was ahead.
As soon as Zheng He had spoken, Chen Xixi got up to make room for him and left with her remaining bucket of instant noodles.
In the convenience store, the buzz-cut fellow just wanted to win back his capital. He didn’t particularly care who he played with, as long as the game didn’t break up.
But for them, Chen Xixi leaving the table was truly a relief.
Now that Chen Xixi wasn’t there, they were sure to turn the tables with the wind in their favor!
Zheng He sat down in Chen Xixi’s spot and then asked the buzz-cut guy sitting across from him: “How much are you guys playing for?”
Buzz-cut guy: “One yuan.”
Zheng He with a disdainful face: “Just one yuan? Can we play for ten or five?”
He had never played for less than five yuan; winning a mere one yuan just wasn’t satisfying.
The buzz-cut guy glanced at the other two and said: “Sure.”
For these regular players, playing for five and ten yuan wasn’t unheard of, so there was nothing unacceptable about it.
But two hours later.
The buzz-cut fellows collapsed again!
This guy also played pretty well, winning over four hundred yuan from them in just two hours!
[Damn! Zheng He is pretty good too!]
[Turns out Zheng He’s strength lies in mahjong!]
Zheng He, looking at the over four hundred yuan in his hand, was excited beyond belief.
“Come on! Let’s keep going!”
The moment Zheng He’s words fell, suddenly, a stern voice tinged with righteousness came from the doorway:
“Don’t move! Don’t touch anything on the table, stay right there and don’t you run anywhere!”
