Chapter 2379 — Finding the Reason
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Sure enough, this time, by Shen Yushu's method, the result matched the pattern she had bet on. Shen Yushu let out a "Yay!" and began betting again with full confidence. But this time the outcome was a tragedy—the result differed from her calculation.
"Why isn't it working again?" Shen Yushu frowned, somewhat displeased. Theoretically, if the first calculation had been correct, then the next one should work as well—yet somehow it simply would not.
Shen Yushu switched to yet another machine. Again the first round worked, and then the second did not. This left her rather bewildered...
In the surveillance room, the monitors frowned as well. If she kept playing this way, switching machines every time, she really could win once or twice! After all, it took some time for them to gain control of each terminal machine.
But Shen Yushu clearly had no intention of switching machines, which rather relieved the surveillance staff.
Shen Yushu began studying this machine again, but no matter how she studied it or what she bet on, the results were always different—because those results were the product of the surveillance staff's artificial interference, leaving Shen Yushu no way at all to calculate the pattern!
"What on earth is going on?" Watching the chips before her dwindle, Shen Yushu grew anxious. Rather than studying the machine's pattern any further, she began studying the machine itself. She circled around it front and back, and suddenly her eyes lit up!
Because she saw a network cable port at the back of the machine, with a cable plugged into it—and the cable's data-exchange light was blinking! What was more, only her machine's data-exchange light was blinking so rapidly; the other slot machines were not blinking nearly so fiercely!
Clearly, this slot machine was constantly exchanging data with the server, which was why this was happening. Shen Yushu had learned similar things in her computer classes at school, so she instantly understood the reason she was losing money!
Her slot machine had probably been targeted by the people at the server's main terminal. Whatever bet she placed, they interfered with it artificially over there—so of course she could not win! At this thought, Shen Yushu felt a surge of anger. She had come here to gamble and had not cheated, yet they had the nerve to interfere artificially?
Wasn't that a bit too petty? Shen Yushu simply yanked the network cable out, then went back with a grin and continued betting. Sure enough, the calculated result matched the final displayed result once more!
Just as she thought! This time Shen Yushu went straight to placing high-stakes bets, and very quickly the chips before her went from a pitiful two million or so remaining to over ten million!
And at that moment, the surveillance room was in an uproar—because the monitors discovered that they had lost connection with Shen Yushu's slot machine. They could no longer control that machine from the main terminal, yet judging by the surveillance footage, the machine was still working normally, endlessly spitting out large-denomination chips!
The surveillance staff were frightened badly and hurriedly began checking the server's wiring, hoping to find the problem in the server's lines and repair it quickly!
