Chapter 4: Chapter 4 I am so terrible!
The sound of rain gently pattered outside the rented room’s window, rhythmically in the silent night, occasionally a whiff of wind would slip through the cracks of the window, stirring the eardrums, composing a soothing and light folk song.
The gloomy weather of the day, like many worries knotted in the chest, Lin Chuan liked it better now, with a little rain.
Listening to the voices in his mind, Lin Chuan revealed a smile.
A new profession, a new life, had arrived.
It was less to call it a life experience, and more a pass that allowed Lin Chuan to walk from reality into the Virtual World.
This Virtual World was just like opening a blind box—there was an unknown expectation waiting for Lin Chuan.
“Experience a new life immediately!”
The next instant, Lin Chuan’s vision began to intertwine reality with the Virtual Reality.
He could hear the rain outside the window, feel the chill of the night wind penetrating the room, and he could also experience the fresh sensory impact brought by another Virtual World.
“I hope this time it’s a beautiful life experience.”
Lin Chuan silently prayed in his heart.
[Each experience is your beautiful memory.]
[This system will save this memory for you in the form of a novel.]
[In this experience, your profession is…]
[Swindler!]
Lin Chuan’s eyes bulged.
Swindler?
Alright, alright, so this is how you play, system?
Last time, Thief.
This time, Swindler.
You’re too cruel!
[Congratulations, host. You have obtained a skill—Cheating Techniques.]
[Using ‘Virtual Reality’ technology, we are creating a new world for you.]
With the drop of the sweet electronic sound, a new world gradually appeared before Lin Chuan’s eyes.
In the Virtual New World, Lin Chuan had clear sensory perceptions of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste, and moreover, had a high degree of freedom to control his own behavior.
He could do whatever he wanted.
Inside the new world.
In a huge and luxurious hall, exquisite sculptures, dazzling crystal chandeliers, and glittering gold decorations—the hall’s neon lights flashed non-stop, weaving into a colorful tapestry.
Dreamlike and hazy.
Amidst the crowded throng, Lin Chuan was there, the scent of perfume and tobacco flooding his nostrils, his ears filled with a cacophony of sounds.
Some laughed loudly, some cheered, and others wailed in despair.
“This must be a casino,” Lin Chuan muttered to himself.
Where a Swindler appeared, a casino was the likely place.
This life experience was truly cruel!
Lin Chuan quickly made his way through the crowd, and a beautiful waitress in a white shirt and a tight-fitting black skirt, with a graceful figure, immediately greeted him.
“Sir, how may I assist you?”
“I’d like to play a couple of hands.”
Lin Chuan had acquired the system’s gifted Cheating Techniques; his mind was filled with information about dice, cards, mahjong, and more.
“Very well, sir, please follow me,” the pretty waitress beckoned Lin Chuan up to the second floor.
On the second floor, there were spacious lounges, noisy and bustling with loud voices and foul language amid the din.
“To hell with it, I’m flowering on the gang!”
“Damn it, All-in!”
“You wretched little cheat, your grandpa’s got four Ks!”
“…”
Lin Chuan strolled leisurely, casually entering one of the lounges.
Inside the lounge, a group of gamblers with stern faces surrounded a gambling table, their eyes bloodshot from concentration, gazing intently at the table, full of expectation and tension.
In front of the gambling table stood a sexy woman.
She shook the Dice Cup in both hands; the dice spun and tumbled inside it, making a crisp colliding sound.
In the casino, this woman was known as Dice Girl.
Lin Chuan’s ears twitched; he could clearly hear the sound inside the Dice Cup, and every collision was subtly different.
If it were another time, Lin Chuan, the casino newbie, surely wouldn’t have been able to distinguish it.
But now, he was a master of Cheating Techniques, no longer a newcomer.
Clack!
The Dice Cup landed on the table, and the dice settled with a clear sound to the ear.
The gamblers hastily placed their bets.
Lin Chuan lit a cigarette and casually tossed a chip onto the table.
Bet small.
