The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: There’s No Way to Respond to That

Wu Yong’s arrogant demeanor, to be honest... makes you just want to punch him.

But no one actually dares to touch him, not because he’s the second in command of Black Gold, but because he’s a customer!

In a situation where the gambling hall is already in the wrong, hitting a customer would mean no one would want to do business in Kanyue City anymore, and it might even implicate the entire gambling hall.

Hei Mazi, supported by his men, finally stood up from the ground. If that slap was only a superficial wound, that kick afterwards truly caused internal injuries! His stomach throbbed with a burning pain, making it hard to even breathe.

Even though his heart was filled with hatred, he couldn’t show it and had to keep his subordinates in check, which wasn’t easy at all.

”Mr. Lin, we really apologize, this...”

Before Hei Mazi could finish speaking, Lin Tian waved his hand and said, ”Don’t give me any of that fake apology crap. Even if we take a step back, even if it’s just the two machines that have bugs, that’s still negligence and error on your part, so why should I foot the bill? You guys just can’t stand someone winning, right folks? Isn’t that the logic here?”

The onlookers, who had been silently observing, began to speak up after hearing Lin Tian’s words.

”If you can’t afford to pay, you shouldn’t run a gambling hall, seriously.”

”Makes sense, expecting others to pay for your own mistakes, have to admit, this line of thinking is crazy, are you mentally challenged or something?”

”This gambling hall is really shady! Smiling when others lose money, and now pretending to be innocent when they have to compensate. In my opinion, they shouldn’t even run a gambling hall, just turn it into a brothel.”

Most gamblers win less and lose more, and they know how shady these gambling halls are. They already dislike them, and now having caught an opportunity, they curse relentlessly. It’s almost like a public denunciation meeting.

Lin Tian couldn’t be happier. Look at them, the way they curse sounds so perfect! I didn’t even give them money, yet they curse with such enthusiasm, maybe it’s because they feel the same way.

Hei Mazi, true to his name, with dark skin and many pockmarks on his face, looked still dark-skinned while he was so angry he might vomit blood.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Tian interrupted him again: ”I suddenly realized, you say these two machines have a bug, their payout rate is wrong. Then I want to ask, what’s the payout rate on the other machines? Are they pathetically low? Low enough that people keep losing money? In my opinion, your so-called normal payout rate is exactly what’s robbing everyone.”

The power of the public is great, and using their power to pressure the gambling hall can not only make sure he collects all his winnings but also deal a significant blow to this place. After all, these customers are what support the gambling halls. They’re the last people the gambling halls should offend.

Lin Tian’s words were quite incisive.

Cheating in gambling halls is something everyone knows but can’t stop. Even if everyone knows it clearly, no one would say it out loud. The truth is bloody, and exposing it would leave everyone in an awkward position.

They all know the gambling halls cheat, but they still come, isn’t that admitting to being a fool?

But they wouldn’t direct their resentment towards Lin Tian, they’d shift it to the gambling hall, and Hei Mazi as the person in charge would naturally become the target of their anger.

”Mr. Lin, you can’t say it like that. If something has lower odds, naturally, the payout rate is higher, and if the odds are higher, the payout rate is lower, it’s a very normal ratio. If a tenfold payout appears regularly, that’s not logical. So, it’s all about luck.”

In just a few minutes, Hei Mazi truly hated this Lin Tian to his core. He was here to solve a problem, but Lin Tian threw him a new challenge... those gamblers’ stares were unnerving!

”Hmm, you make it sound reasonable. It’s just... isn’t it true that for some things, the payout rate is ridiculously low?” Lin Tian said, ”I want to ask on behalf of everyone, just about the instrument I was using earlier. What are the payout rates for all the things inside? We’re here to spend money, even if we lose, we need to know how we lost, don’t you all agree?”

”Yes!”

”...”

Hei Mazi really wanted to strangle this guy, why are you deliberately causing me trouble?

The payout rates for these things fluctuate slightly every day, and if this information were to be revealed, any future changes might be detected, causing even more trouble, this is like a ticking time bomb!

Gritting his teeth, Hei Mazi said, ”Honestly, I don’t quite understand these data, but as far as I know, these payout rates fluctuate within a range, so your luck determines how much you win.”

After saying this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this explanation shouldn’t cause any problems. He understood these people were stirring trouble, they didn’t want an exact number, just an explanation.

Lin Tian sneered, ”Payout rate fluctuation is a normal phenomenon?”

Hei Mazi nodded, ”It’s a normal phenomenon.”

After hearing this, Lin Tian flew into a rage, pointing at the screen, ”Since payout rate fluctuation is normal, how come my winning so much due to luck is suddenly a bug, are you crazy?! Can’t I just have good luck today?”

”...”

Hei Mazi didn’t expect this guy to jump back to the original topic so quickly and caught him off guard again.

Forcing himself to respond, he said, ”But... the two machines you two were using, the payout rates were too abnormal.”

Lin Tian argued, ”It’s called good luck! Is it not part of my luck if your machines malfunction?”

”...” Hei Mazi really didn’t know how to respond to that.

Lin Tian continued, ”If the bug today didn’t result in such high payout rates, but instead they were abysmally low, low enough for people to lose everything, would you still come looking for me like this, humble and saying a bunch of nonsense, and then offer a two-million compensation per person?”

”...” Hei Mazi really wanted to dishonestly say, ”I would!”

But that would be too hypocritical, even he wouldn’t believe it, how could he expect anyone else to? It would only invite more disgust.

So once again, he had no idea how to respond.

Where did this Lin Tian come from! Is he heaven-sent to torment me?

Lin Tian glared at him, demanding, ”Why aren’t you saying anything?!”

Hei Mazi was almost in tears, I don’t even know what I should say here!
