Chapter 166

Little do they know, suffering always exists in various forms at every point in one\'s life. The other choice you thought might have been better actually leads to suffering in a different form.

Weak people who are unwilling to face adversity always resort to fantasies, fantasizing about being able to alter a choice made in the past to escape their current predicament.

But if a person does not change themselves first, they will always end up with the same outcome.

And was his outcome not already predetermined?

No. 14 gazed at Shen Yue. There was no confusion in his eyes.

That night, Shen Yue lay in bed, intending to properly rest for once. It was only today that she realized how hard her bed was.

This wasn\'t a bed at all. It was no different from sleeping directly on the ground.

How strange. Why had she never noticed before how uncomfortable this bed was? How did she manage to sleep in it for that period of time?

Only at this moment did Shen Yue realize that during that time, her mind had been tense, unable to accommodate anything other than Masha\'s affairs. And in Building No. 8 recently, she not only learned to analyze others, she also understood better what she wanted.

For instance, what she wanted now without a doubt was a soft mattress.

Out of habit, Shen Yue placed her hand on her earpiece, about to ask No. 14 to replace her bed. On second thought, never mind.

The other day, she overheard an inmate chatting with LA mention that the expensive mattress he had asked the Warden to buy for him from outside would arrive in a few days.

That man used to be the young master of a wealthy family. Although he had fallen from grace and was thrown into prison now, he couldn\'t resist getting himself a more comfortable resting environment the moment he got his hands on some money.

Hmm...he should be at Table No. 5 at 3 p.m. tomorrow. I\'ll propose a gamble with him then.

I have to win that mattress from him.

When a person has a goal, they can become incredibly powerful.

This saying applied equally to Shen Yue.

The next day, Shen Yue went all out at Building No. 8, slaying gods if they blocked her path and slaying Buddhas if they blocked her path.

Left with no choice, the croupiers had to hurriedly find LA.

"Boss! Your disciple has gone nuts!"

"What nuts has she gone? The big kind or the small kind?" LA was unconcerned, fiddling with the tobacco he had just bought.

"The really big kind!"

"Damn it! I\'m asking what nuts has she gone?"

"She has won all the casino patrons\' chips today!"

"So what if she\'s won everything? What\'re you shouting about?...Wait, she\'s won what?"

The underling repeated again, "She\'s won all the chips of everyone who came to gamble today!"

"Holy sh*t? Everyone\'s?!" LA finally put down his tobacco and started looking everywhere for his fur coat.

"Boss, the central air-conditioning is on. It\'s not cold!" The underling\'s intention was to hint to LA that if he really couldn\'t find his coat, don\'t bother looking for it and waste time.

But LA glared at him. "What do you know? Do you know why I\'m the boss and you\'re not?"

"Because you\'re awesome!"

"Bullsh*t. I\'m the boss because I get to wear fur while you only wear uniforms, got it? Stop wasting time, go help me find my coat. I think I left it somewhere randomly today..."

While LA was looking for his coat, Shen Yue had won yet another man\'s pants.

This is what happened: That man had lost his final chips to Shen Yue but stubbornly insisted on playing one more game of pure chance with her.

And so, with many witnesses, the dealer randomly inserted a card while Shen Yue and the prisoner guessed the suit and number value of the card face. Whoever guessed correctly first would win.

Since both had their backs facing the dealer, there was no way for them to know the shuffling method or spot where the dealer drew the card from. It seemed they could only depend on luck.

The onlookers had varied reactions the moment the dealer drew the card. However, one couldn\'t determine anything just from their expressions alone.

"You may start guessing," said the dealer after drawing the card.

No one spoke first. In this game that seemingly relied on luck, if either person stated their answer first, the other could glean something from the facial expressions of the crowd who now knew her answer.

It was like one try to get it wrong.

That was the only chance that man had left. And so he pleaded with Shen Yue, "Take pity on me, let me answer later, I\'m scared."

Shen Yue was also very easygoing. She promptly gave her answer, "8 of Diamonds."

The crowd immediately showed exaggerated expressions after knowing Shen Yue\'s answer. But the man couldn\'t make out anything even after scrutinizing them. He could only randomly guess, "King of Hearts."

The actual card drawn was 8 of Clubs. Shen Yue won.

She had won herself a pair of pants.

That man wept as he shyly asked where he should remove them. No. 14 scowled upon seeing this. These people had lost every shred of dignity.

He stepped in front of Shen Yue. "Let me collect in your stead. You need not dirty your hands."

Shen Yue nodded. Not long after, shrieks of embarrassment mixed with horror rang out from that man. Danni La inched closer to Shen Yue, seemingly frightened.

After No. 14 had stripped that man naked and thrown him out, LA finally showed up fashionably late, draped in a seemingly expensive fur coat that clung tightly to No. 14\'s waist.

Of course, snuggling up to No. 14 did not stop him from scolding Shen Yue.

As LA ran about clinging to No. 14, he yelled at Shen Yue, "You\'ve only studied for a few days and you already dare to destroy your master\'s turf? Do you believe I\'ll kick you out or not!"

Shen Yue explained calmly, "I only wanted to gamble with one person originally. But he said I was unqualified to play him until I had defeated all the gamblers on this floor."

Upon hearing this, LA was no longer calm. "Who! Who dares say you\'re unqualified!"

Just then, a delicate-looking man piped up from the crowd, "Boss LA, it\'s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

LA went up to him and kicked him. "What misunderstanding! Who did I think it was? Acting so arrogantly after just reaching the 15th floor! Hurry up and gamble with my disciple!"

The assaulted delicate-looking man was in great pain. "But she wants Young Master Lai Xiu\'s bed that he bought for me. If Young Master Lai Xiu knows I lost the bed he got me, he\'ll brutally kill me."

He just felt Shen Yue was very dangerous so he absolutely could not agree, which was why he deliberately imposed such an unreasonable condition. But unexpectedly, Shen Yue was actually crazy enough to do it.

LA patted him on the shoulder. "Don\'t say that. My disciple has only studied for a few days. As if you could lose to a newbie like her!"

Successfully hoodwinked by LA\'s earnest words, the delicate-faced man ended up losing the precious mattress he had yet to receive.
