The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

"Great, let's play a few rounds."

Fang Xiaohui said joyfully.

The Monkey was surprised, suspiciously eyeing this woman.

Really, you can't judge a book by its cover; who would have thought this refined woman would come to gamble?

Gambling truly knows no gender boundaries.

"It's simple. Three playing cards, and one is an Ace. Watch closely, I'll place and shuffle these three cards around randomly. At the end, you just have to guess which one is the Ace, and you win. Best of three games; if you win two rounds, you can earn up to ten bucks."

The Monkey explained while swiftly moving the cards; for him, it's all about quick hands and sharp eyes.

As for this girl here, he believed he could hoodwink her without much effort.

The Monkey pointed to the three cards in front of him.

"Let's start."

Fang Xiaohui took a look; she had never encountered such a thing in her life.

She neither understood the explanation, nor grasped the concept, and certainly didn't see where the card went.

Yet, she trusted in her Unlucky Talisman.

Now, the sleazy man opposite her was surely at his unluckiest, and naturally, her luck would be at its peak.

Fang Xiaohui casually pointed to a card.

"This one!"

The Monkey smirked triumphantly.

"Alright young lady, take a look."

He forcefully lifted the card and slammed it onto the table.

Then stood dumbfounded.

What the hell! He swore he hadn't placed the card there!

Fang Xiaohui smiled a tight-lipped smile, exactly as she anticipated; she hadn't expected such a result from her Unlucky Talisman.

Why hadn't she thought of this before? When utilizing the Unlucky Talisman, she shouldn't just aim for points.

She should consider how to leverage it for greater benefits.

Power and wealth could be hers for the taking.

The Monkey, with a haunted look, appealed to her.

"Come on, didn't you say best of three games?"

The Monkey scratched his head, carefully checking the card again. It was indeed his card. The young lady hadn't touched the cards, so there was no way she could have tampered with them.

Perhaps he got flustered seeing such a beautiful young girl, fooled by her looks.

"Alright, let's go again!"

"This card!"

"Again!"

"This card!"

"Again!"

"That card!"

"Again!"

...…

Two hours later, Monkey was sweating profusely.

Initially, he was confident. He found it hard to believe his quick reflexes and sharp eyes couldn't beat this girl across from him, but now it was beyond winning or losing.

The girl had already won 3000 bucks from him.

Her luck was simply extraordinary.

Monkey was trembling slightly.

He couldn't keep playing any longer. He had brought some cash when he left to put on a front, Brother Jin had given him extra cash thinking 500 bucks would suffice.

Now he'd shelled out 3000 bucks.

Eventually, the Monkey realized he had a gambling fever, more akin to a compulsive gambler; the more he lost, the more he wanted to gamble, and the more he gambled, the more he lost.

Now, he found himself 3000 dollars in debt, his misfortune snowballing.

Monkey was so worried he was scratching his ears and cheeks.

"Alright, stop gambling; if you continue, you'll probably lose even your pants. Give me all my winnings, let me cash them in and head home."

Fang Xiaohui was feeling rather smug.

Her face was bright, her eyes were radiant, and her whole persona was glowing with energy.

At this moment, Fang Xiaohui suddenly felt like she was opening the door to the entire world, realizing how amazing and magical her powers truly were.

Previously, she'd been narrow-minded. Why had she wasted so many years?

This Unlucky Talisman in her hands had become a mere trinket, only causing small things.

Seeing its true potential now, she could have money when she wanted, power when she wanted, and anyone who dared to cross her would find themselves in dire straits.

This was truly a weapon of mass destruction.

The Monkey's face turned dark.

"What, you don't want to pay up? You said it yourself, all these people saw it."

Fang Xiaohui pointed to the crowd watching around them; it was clearly Monkey who'd announced the winnings.

Even if the cops came, this couldn't be seen as gambling.

Monkey was in a tight spot.

"Young man, doing business requires honesty. You said yourself if the guessing was right in two out of three rounds, there would be winnings. We all heard it crystal clear. If you don't honor it, it's fraud."

"Exactly; if someone didn't win, he'd happily take their money, and I saw him collecting quite a bit this morning."

"Surely the girl saw through his tricks and came specially to settle scores with him. A guy like him is definitely a conman looking to scam money."

The crowd's indignation grew, pointing fingers at Monkey, reprimanding him. No wonder, his demeanor really didn't help.

To everyone, he was just a street thug, while Fang Xiaohui appeared as the righteous and wronged party.

Everything Fang Xiaohui said was believable.

The Monkey opened his mouth in helplessness, not having enough money on him.

What to do?

Might as well run.

Secretly regretting, earlier Qin Dazhuang didn't fall for his tricks and left, and he could have packed up and left too.

Why did he have to provoke this woman? Now he'd dug his own grave.

And this pit was impossible to climb out of.

Someone patted the Monkey's shoulder.

The Monkey turned irritably.

"What do you want?"

And then saw Jin Dachuan had come, standing beside him.

His spirit faltered.

He lowered his head guiltily.

"Young lady, a bet is a bet. Since we're running a business, we're committed to honesty. Here is 3000 bucks, take it. You won, and it should rightfully be yours."

Jin Dachuan amiably handed over the money, and the crowd gasped in surprise, not expecting this stall owner to honor the debt.

This was 3000 bucks, equivalent to 100 years of wages to ordinary folk.

"Well, thank you, boss."

Fang Xiaohui gleefully slipped the 3000 bucks into her purse, tossed a satisfied glance at Monkey.

This time the sleazy man was humbled, unable to deceive her any longer, unaware of just how powerful her Unlucky Talisman was.

She turned and left.

Seeing Fang Xiaohui actually took the 3000, others quickly crowded around.

"I want to play."

"I want ten rounds."

"Me too!"

Jin Dachuan quickly waved them off. "Everyone, listen to me, we're closing the stall now. Not running anymore."

"Why not running, just because you lost?"

"Why could that woman play, but not us?"

"Because we haven't eaten lunch yet, we need to go back for a meal first; only when we're fed can we have the energy to run the stall. Right? We can't serve you on empty stomachs."

Jin Dachuan dragged the Monkey through the crowd away.

"Tsk, must've been a setup between that woman and them to lure us into their business."

Someone suspected.

"Are you stupid? How could they be in cahoots? If they were, with everyone eager to play, why wouldn't they seize the chance to collect money?"

People gradually dispersed.
