Lily spoke so nonchalantly, as if winning a billion with a hundred bucks was as simple as a walk in the park. Danny was speechless. “A hundred bucks to win a billion? Lily, why don't you just give me a dollar and ask me to win a billion?”
"Because the cheapest chip in there is a hundred bucks! If I gave you a dollar, you wouldn't be able to play at all! See how much I care about you?" she said with a playful smirk.
"You love me so much you could kill me," Danny joked.
...
Upon entering The Big Dipper, Lily led Danny through a lavish hall that stretched over tens of thousands of square feet. It was a casino in all its splendor, bustling with all sorts of games.
"Go exchange that hundred for chips," Lily instructed, handing him the money.
Danny rolled his eyes at her and nonchalantly walked over to the service counter humming a tune. The stunningly beautiful cashier, clad in a thigh-high slit dress showing off her long, silk-clad legs, greeted him with sparkling white teeth and dimpled cheeks. Her voice was sweet as honey as she asked, “Handsome, how much would you like to exchange for chips?”
Slapping the hundred-dollar bill on the counter, Danny cheerfully added, "Just a hundred bucks’ worth!"
"What's so funny?" Danny asked.
"I'm laughing at you, country boy. Do you think you’re a fool? You actually believe you can win a billion with just a hundred bucks? The Big Dipper casino has been around for a thousand years. Less than a hundred people have ever won money here—that means, on average, just one person every ten years walks away with winnings. Converting a hundred bucks into a billion is dreaming of winning a million times your wager. No gambler in a thousand years has had such luck here. You, a country boy, dreaming of a million-fold profit, it's utterly ridiculous!"
"Whether it's crazy or not, just sell me the hundred-dollar chip, let me play, and we'll see, won't we? After all, I’m a once-in-a-millennium kind of guy!" Danny grinned confidently.
