Chapter 5: A Small Fortune

After being reborn, Li Mo found that his ability to analyze and understand had become very strong, just like this time, in order to be able to make money through his abilities, and he didn't want to expose himself and arouse the suspicion of others, Li Mo went to various game rooms in the county every day after studying, observing the flow of customers in various time periods of the day.

First of all, you can't go to the game room at noon or evening every day, because this time is when the school is out, there are many students in the game room, Li Mo If he goes at this time, there are many people, and he may be seen by a familiar student, gambling is a disgraceful thing after all, he knows deeply that low-key is king. The wise saying on the online novel is to be a low-key person, do things in a high-profile manner, and give full play to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

After more than a week of observation, Li Mo decided that 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the afternoon every day is the best time, there are some students in this time period, but there are not too many, most of them skip class to play in the game room for a while, because every afternoon there will be physical education classes in each school, and some students will try their best to skip class and leave the school. In the small county town of Jingcheng, there are not many Internet cafes, only 4, the Internet is 2 yuan an hour, for most of the students from the countryside, it is still very expensive, the time to go to the Internet café to surf the Internet is only a few times a week, and the game room can buy two boards as long as it costs 5 cents, and the powerful students can play for an hour, so it has become the main entertainment venue for students.

The third period on Thursday afternoon is physical education, and in high school physical education, in addition to those students who love basketball and other sports, some students will leave by climbing over the wall.

"Xiao Ming, go to the game room for a while?" Li Mo and Hu Xiaoming suddenly asked when they walked to the corner of a wall, because Li Mo felt that he had a good relationship with Hu Xiaoming, and taking him with him could allow his classmates to share profits and risks with him, this is not that Li Mo wants to use him, after all, there is a gain and a pay.

"What are you going to do in the game room, or are we going to surf the Internet?" Hu Xiaoming was stunned for a while and said.

How can you go online in order to make money? Li Mo knew that the matter of the ability was definitely not to be said, "What's the point of going online every day, or accompany me to the game room to play," Li Mo and the two directly climbed over the wall, "Why don't we go to the game room to play first and then go online?" ”

The county seat of Jingcheng is divided into two parts in the north and south by a river, and the Li Mo School is located in the north, which is the main commercial center of the county and the location of the political axe; The south side is dominated by residential areas and the No. 1 Middle School. Li Mo took Hu Xiaoming to a game room near the river in Beicheng District, next to the game room is the only vegetable market in the whole county, there are a lot of people coming and going every day, so this game room called "Feifei" is also the largest in the whole county, with nearly 100 game machines and various gambling machines, according to some senior players here, the owner of the game room has a close relationship with a leader of the Cultural Bureau, so these gambling machines can be placed there in a grand manner without fear of being investigated and punished.

Li Mo and Hu Xiaoming exchanged 20 yuan coins from the owner of the game room, and pulled Hu Xiaoming, who was full of puzzlement, to sit down in front of an idle slot machine, Li Mo just looked around, and knew that there were 7 slot machines in the entire game room, 8 poker machines, 4 horse racing machines, and the rest were ordinary game machines, because it was the afternoon, the school had not yet ended, there were only a dozen people in the game room, most of them were playing game machines, only 3 people were playing on the slot machine side, and there were two students wearing a middle school uniform on one machine, The other is a man in his 30s.

There are a total of 36 patterns in the slot machine (fruit machine), such as watermelon, apple, double 7, double star, etc., its game rules are 1 yuan 10 points, you can choose the pattern you bet on on the 8 buttons on the machine, the score is 1 point - unlimited.

"Li Mo, you're going to play this today?" Hu Xiaoming was very surprised when he saw that Li Mo wanted to play slot machines, he had never heard that Li Mo liked to gamble before.

"Don't worry, I'll invite you to dinner when I win money today." Li Mo smiled mysteriously, didn't say much, and threw all 20 coins in his hand, a total of 200 points; The first time Li Mo only got 5 points each of the apples and the double stars, after the machine started, Li Mo secretly used his ability to observe the slot machine, and found that this kind of slot machine is similar to the principle of the horse racing machine, both are a circuit board to drive the mechanical arm to rotate. (The setting in the slot machine is different from reality, this is a novel).

The first one, the slot machine is out of oranges, Li Mo did not hit, but he has discovered the law of the slot machine, knowing that the next round will be out of watermelon, the odds of watermelon is 1:5, Li Mo added 10 points to the watermelon, and 3 points to the orange. A circle down, sure enough, the watermelon. Now the points are displayed as 297 points.

"Really hit the mark!" Although Hu Xiaoming doesn't play this, he is still very happy to see Li Mo win, if Li Mo wins, he will have a treat at noon.

"I didn't expect me to be lucky, I just won once."

"I think it's still a watermelon." Hu Xiaoming didn't care about Li Mo's reaction, and directly went up and down 10 points for watermelon.

Li Mo's heartache, he knew that this was an apple, but since Hu Xiaoming had already placed it, he didn't bother to place anything else, and pressed start directly. Because he decided to use the ability every few times, after all, using the ability consumes his physical energy, and there are various side effects, such as dizziness.

Gao Zhengfei was very depressed today, and when he was on vacation, he was going to come to the game room for a pastime, and he gambled happily, who knew that he later gambled on anger and lost nearly 500 yuan, 500 yuan is not a small amount in this county, like Li Mo's monthly living expenses are about 200 yuan. So Gao Zhengfei decided to spend it with this slot machine, but because he only brought more than 600 yuan when he went out today, he only has more than 100 left on his body; Gritting his teeth, Gao Zhengfei continued to exchange 100 coins at the boss, looking at the boss's smiling face, Gao Zhengfei really wanted to beat him into a pig's head.

"Missed again!" Gao Zhengfei slapped the machine hard, and heard the music constantly playing on the machine next to him, which was automatically broadcast by the machine when he won.

"Brother, how's your luck?" Gao Zhengfei saw that Li Mo and Hu Xiaoming were hit again, and felt that these two students were very lucky, and wondered if he was also here to follow the two of them a few times.

Li Mo and Hu Xiaoming are very excited, and they have won more than 400 so far, mainly because they have won several big three yuan and big four wins. Hearing the question from the man in his 30s next to him, Li Mo smiled and said, "Today's luck is okay, almost the capital is guaranteed." ”

Gao Zhengfei is also a civil servant, working in the county public security bureau, although he is just an ordinary criminal policeman, his ability to observe people is much stronger than that of Li Mo and Hu Xiaoming, looking at the smile and excitement on the faces of the two, he will believe Li Mo's words.

"Two classmates, my name is Gao Zhengfei, I have bad luck today, let me press a few with you, how about it?" Gao Zhengfei's face was still a little red when he spoke, after all, a big man and two students asked for it, it was very shameless, just to go home today and not be scolded by his wife.

Li Mo could see from Gao Zhengfei's face that this person was not bad, not that kind of gambler. He nodded and said, "We don't win every time, and you know that winning or losing this is all about luck." Hu Xiaoming didn't say anything when he saw that Li Mo agreed, but he just wondered if he would also exchange some coins.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you for losing." Gao Zhengfei said stiffly.
