Things did not get worse.

At 1 pm in the afternoon, Xue Mingjie finally closed his stall and went to a nearby local bank. After a while, he walked out with a suitcase.

‘Although the box is not big, there should still be three to four hundred thousand yuan…’

Knowing what he was going to do and that he had just left the bank, Xia Xu naturally guessed what was inside.

After leaving the bank, Xue Mingjie hailed a taxi. Fortunately, Xia Xu had already considered the possibility of him taking a transportation vehicle, so he stood at the corner of the street where there were often motorcycles pulling customers.

Xue Mingjie had just flagged down a taxi and didn’t have the time to get on it yet. Xia Xu immediately got on the back of a motorbike and motioned for the driver to follow the car.

The sound of the motorbike moving was loud and with the wind blowing in your ears, it was difficult to hear. Therefore, the bike rider was not as talkative as the taxi driver. After negotiating the price, he followed behind.

After a dozen bends, Xue Mingjie’s taxi finally stopped at a deserted residential area.

The nearby areas were all newly developed or undergoing development, so there was basically no one around. Only a few construction teams were still working at the construction site, while the rest of the place was cold and cheerless. The ground was either full of pits or dirt.

In order not to stand out too much, Xia Xu asked the motorbike to follow him from a distance. After watching the taxi enter an empty residential area, he got down the bike, paid the bill, and walked over.

After walking into the residential area, he saw the taxi leaving. Xia Xu followed the direction and quickly found Xue Mingjie and Yao Dawu.

The six people on Yao Dawu’s side were still in suits and leather shoes. They stood in an open-air shed, with a square table inside. Except for the slightly deserted place, it was no different from ordinary poker games.

‘This is the kind of gamble? I thought it would turn into the scale of a Macau casino.’

Xia Xu watched this scene from a distance and pouted.

Due to the influence of various gambling films, when he saw the gambling challenge, he subconsciously thought that it might be an underground casino. He didn’t expect it to be the same as ordinary gambling, and that they just found a remote place to set up a shed.

But thinking about it, according to the plot summary of «Person About to Die», Zhang Jianmin did not deliberately seek to gamble, but instead accidentally bumped into them after getting drunk. This showed that the location of Xue Mingjie and Yao Dawu’s bet wasn’t really hidden, and it was basically not the kind of professional casino in an indoor area like a gambling film.

The two main supporting characters of the first scene were already in place, and the main character was just short of stepping on stage.

Before the protagonist appeared, Yao Dawu and Xue Mingjie had already gone to the table to gamble. Three of the four people sitting at the table were Yao Dawu and his subordinates.

He could see that the four of them were playing poker, but Xia Xu didn’t dare to get close, so he couldn’t see the specific gameplay and the situation, nor was he in the mood to play poker. His entire attention was on the surrounding roads.

A card game was just a small plot for Person About to Die. The core of the entire plot was still the protagonist, Zhang Jianmin. It didn’t matter if he missed the card game, as long as he found the protagonist, he would still have other opportunities to gain benefits.

‘He’s finally here.’

The surroundings were quiet and empty. If there were people walking on the roads, they would be very obvious.

More than ten minutes after the game began, a haggard-looking middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes staggered over. When he passed by Xia Xu, he smelled of alcohol.

Name: Zhang Jianmin

Lifeform Level: 1

Potential Destiny: [Main Character: «Person About to Die»]

Talent Potential: Driving (1 Star)

Speciality: None

Obsession: I must play to my heart’s content before dying.

Favorability: 0

Xia Xu checked Zhang Jianmin’s attributes and found that he was quite mediocre. He thought that this kind of main character would have some kind of heaven-defying ability or special talent, but he was a little disappointed.

There was no time to think. Seeing that the ‘main character’ had already entered the venue, Xia Xu immediately perked up and focused on observing the development of the situation.

Zhang Jianmin was probably still drunk after a night of sleep, not to mention that he only had a month left to live. He had no worries at all.

He was definitely the most hysterical and dangerous person in the world right now. He was absolutely fearless in everything he did.

He walked past the shed where Yao Dawu, Xue Mingjie, and the others were gambling. He must have wanted to try it, so he walked over without caring whether he recognized it or not. After being stopped by Yao Dawu’s subordinates, he directly stated his intentions and slammed his bank card on the table.

Both Xue Mingjie and Yao Dawu were experts in the gambling industry. Yao Dawu would definitely not let go of such a fat lamb.

Although Xue Mingjie kindly advised him, he was in a difficult position. Moreover, Zhang Jianmin was determined to try gambling, so he didn’t listen to anyone’s advice. Therefore, one of Yao Dawu’s subordinates stepped aside.

‘The main event begins.’

Xia Xu smiled when he saw everything clicking into place.

According to the normal plot development, after Zhang Jianmin participated, he should be playing around, but he relied on his luck to win all kinds of money, creating a contrasting comedy effect.

If he could go over and follow Zhang Jianmin, he could make a lot of money.

However…

“Hello, is this the police? I want to report this, I noticed that there are people gambling…”

Xia Xu silently dialed a three-digit number.

Run over to gamble like Zhang Jianmin?

What a joke, he was a law-abiding citizen, a flower under a red flag, a proper red scarf.

Okay… In fact, he had checked before this. Star City was recently cracking down on public gambling.

According to the reward measures for Star City’s reporting of gambling, one could receive a percentage bonus based on the amount of bet they confiscated, and one could receive 6% of the total bet amount.

The bet between Xue Mingjie and Yao Dawu was obviously not just a few hundred or a few thousand yuan. Moreover, Zhang Jianmin had thrown in his entire fortune, so he definitely had a few hundred thousand yuan in gambling. Just the reward alone was a lot of money.

As for his participation, Xia Xu never thought about whether he would win more money or even win all of them.

When Yao Dawu went to find Xue Mingjie, the column clearly stated that he wanted to also let Xue Mingjie taste the feeling of being bankrupt.

This ‘also’ was the main point. Just this one word was enough to infer the reason for the bet between the two. It was obvious that Xue Mingjie had once won money from Yao Dawu.

Yao Dawu obviously had a dirty background. This time, he came to Xue Mingjie’s door and forced him to gamble so he could take revenge.

If Xia Xu participated in this and won Yao Dawu’s money, he would probably be entangled with Yao Dawu like Xue Mingjie. Yao Dawu might even employ more drastic measures.

If he could force Xue Mingjie to gamble with him this time, he could force him next time. He might even rob him.

He, a small high school student, had no ability to resist against these people with shady backgrounds. With the special ability to check status, he would have plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. There was no need to take such a huge risk for greed. The risks were not proportional to the benefits.

Moreover, even if he liked to take risks, it was useless. With his current situation, he had no right to participate.

Could he even use the face of a high school student and run over there with less than four thousand yuan in his card to say that he wanted to participate in the gamble?

It would be ridiculous for someone to think highly of his three to four thousand dollars when they were betting a suitcase full of cash. This obviously childish high school student would only be regarded as a bratty kid.

So what if he participated? A bet with the protagonist, Zhang Jianmin? He knew that Zhang Jianmin’s luck was heaven-defying, so he would lose.

As for letting him bet for fun or what not, he was just a kid who was not even a supporting character in the storyline.. How shameless was he to make others agree to let him bet for fun, with his three thousand yuan in his card?
