"..." Everyone watching had a dark expression, as the beast seemed to be scoffing at the horses that had fallen, its haughty face as if to say,
"Losers, thought you were fast, huh? Fell down, didn’t you? I’m just gonna walk right over here, no need to run."
Then, everyone watched as horse number six leisurely walked toward the finish line.
"I, damn." Finally, the silence in the stands erupted as people began to shout.
"What the hell is going on? How did number six win? I..."
"My God, I must be dreaming. Quick, someone slap me and wake me up."

Lin Tian was the only one smiling at the situation, then he went to the bewildered betting area and said, "Should you be paying me now?"
"Huh? What?" When they heard Lin Tian’s words, the casino staff still didn’t catch on.
"..." Lin Tian looked at them speechlessly. "I won, should you be paying me now?"
"Oh, yes, yes." Only then did they react, quickly handing over one million in chips to him.
Those who had lost bets watched as Lin Tian instantly won a million, their eyes turning red with envy; damn, that was their money.
Chen Xiaoxin looked at Lin Tian, his eyes conveying a different meaning. How come all the other horses fell except for number six?
Knowing that under normal circumstances number six had no chance of winning, why did he still bet on it? And yet he had won, as if he knew what was going to happen.
This was all too unscientific.
The failure of one race didn’t drive the gamblers away. One by one, they rallied and came back to the betting point, ready for the next race.
"Damn it, I don’t believe this. I’m betting on number seven next."
"That was a fluke, last time must have been a fluke. I’m sticking with number three."
"This time I’m definitely going to win."
"..."
The gamblers continued to place their bets, all except Chen Xiaoxin, who wasn’t in a rush. He was watching which horse number Lin Tian would choose.
"Since number six won last time, I’ll keep betting on number six then." Lin Tian looked at horse number six, still unclaimed, and cheerfully tossed his million in chips over. "A million on it."
"Hiss..."
The other gamblers gasped when they heard Lin Tian bet a million, thinking, Damn, even if you’re rich, that’s no way to burn money, right?
He got lucky last round and won, but does he really think he can win again? Dream on.
"I’ll also bet on number six, one hundred thousand." That was Chen Xiaoxin also placing his bet, throwing his chips out.
"Cough, cough..." A gambler drinking water choked upon hearing someone else betting on number six, and with one hundred thousand at that. He started coughing violently, spitting out the water he’d drunk and his face turned red.
Everyone’s look at Chen Xiaoxin was as if they were staring at an idiot.
"Can’t believe it, one lunatic wasn’t enough, here comes another."
"Ha ha... It’s an eye-opener indeed. Someone else is following the bet, really think they can keep this luck going?"
"This idiot, wait till you are crying later."
"..."
As Chen Xiaoxin joined Lin Tian in betting on number six, everyone started to laugh, none believing they could possibly win.
The people at the casino were also stunned, but they were all holding back laughter. They were scared Lin Tian might just run off after winning so much money, and if that happened, they would be in big trouble. Losing so much money all at once, the boss would definitely not let them off the hook.
But seeing that Lin Tian didn’t leave and even bet all his money at once, all on number six, they snickered to themselves. They didn’t believe the same surprise from the last race could happen again.
"Aren’t you afraid of losing to me?" Lin Tian asked Chen Xiaoxin with a smile.
"Haha… There’s no sure win in gambling. Seeing you got such nerve, brother, I naturally followed suit," Chen Xiaoxin replied with a laugh.
In reality, he wasn’t feeling confident either; this one hundred thousand was all he had. He had always mingled in this casino, always careful and cautious, usually betting on horses with more wins than losses, so he had some discernment indeed.
"My name is Chen Xiaoxin. May I know what to call you, brother?" Chen Xiaoxin asked Lin Tian.
"Heh… That name is careful enough, but I don’t see much caution in what you do," Lin Tian teased after hearing his name. "I’m Lin Tian."
"That’s not necessarily true," Chen Xiaoxin said meaningfully. "Didn’t brother Lin Tian win the last race?"
"Last race? That was just luck. I was blindly betting," Lin Tian said nonchalantly, ignoring Chen Xiaoxin’s gaze. "This time, I’m just betting the money I won."
"…" Seeing Lin Tian’s demeanor, Chen Xiaoxin suddenly felt insecure and even regretted gambling all his one hundred thousand. If he lost, wouldn’t he be losing everything?
"Hehe… Brother Lin Tian must be joking. I believe we will win again this time," Chen Xiaoxin said with a forced smile.
Soon, the horse race began again. After the seven horses took their positions, the referee fired the starting gun.
The seven horses burst out, and indeed, horse number six fell behind right from the start, with the others racing ahead, making Chen Xiaoxin turn pale.
"It’s over, it’s definitely over… This time it’s a real disaster," he thought to himself.
Watching the six horses leading in the front, the spectator stands erupted again. They had forgotten the defeat of the last race and were shouting with all their might.
"Run, run!"
"Catch up, hurry!"
"Win, run fast, you must win!"
"…"
All six horses, which were newly replaced, were roughly equal in strength; they were almost running neck to neck, none letting the other overtake.

Even as they approached the last twenty meters to the finish line, none had a significant advantage.
"My god, why on earth did I bet on number six?" Chen Xiaoxin lamented as he watched horse number six only halfway through the race.
Just when he resigned himself to fate, the six leading horses, with a "swoosh", all fell together, collapsing just five meters from the finish line.
"Clang!" A spectator who was drinking water dropped his bottle to the ground in shock at the sight, staring open-mouthed at the scene, not blinking an eye.
Everyone else had the look of having seen a ghost, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
"Damn, what the hell is this."
"Fuck, again?"
"I’m fucking done, you’re kidding me."
"…"
The spectator stands suddenly erupted, with the betters swearing loudly, spitting, throwing whatever they could find, and those without anything to throw slapped themselves hard to see if they were dreaming.
Only Lin Tian had a slight mischievous smile on his lips, as if all of this was within his expectations.
