["Continue!"
Qingque spat out the word through gritted teeth.]
[You had already given Qingque a chance, but unfortunately, she didn't cherish it. You choose...]
[1. Let her off the hook.]
[2. Double down and teach her a lesson she won't forget.]
"Hmph!"
Victor snorted coldly.
He had already given her a chance, but she didn't appreciate it. So why should he be polite anymore?
He was a scoundrel, not a saint who would turn the other cheek.
Victor chose '2' with almost no hesitation.
[On the fifth day, you arrived at the mahjong parlor as scheduled.]
[After a round of games, Qingque's eyes were red from losing. You showed her no courtesy today, winning four million credits from her directly.]
["Will we continue tomorrow?"
you asked coolly.]
["Continue! We'll continue tomorrow! I'll definitely win it all back!"
Qingque stared fiercely at Victor.]
[You sneered without saying a word.]
[Since someone was courting death, you were naturally going to oblige her.]
[On the sixth day, you won another four million credits from Qingque.]
[The seventh day...]
[The eighth day...]
[On the ninth day, you noticed Qingque's hair was a mess, and her cuffs and collar were stained. It was clear she had been under immense pressure these past few days, not even taking the time to properly groom herself.]
[But you held nothing back, once again dealing her a crushing defeat.]
[On the tenth day, you overheard some of the regular players discussing how Qingque had even mortgaged her house.]
[You felt not a shred of pity, only sneering inwardly.]
[This is the fate of a gambling addict!]
[A few days later, Qingque had lost every last one of her borrowed credits.]
[Watching Qingque's dejected figure retreat, you murmured to yourself, "Looks like it's time for the next phase."}]
Victor read the text in the simulation and couldn't help but gasp.
He thought making Qingque lose her entire fortune was cruel enough, but he never imagined 'he' had even more vicious methods up his sleeve.
As expected of the 'himself' with no bottom line.
To his greater surprise, Victor found that faced with Qingque's 'miserable' plight, he didn't feel a trace of sympathy or pity. Instead, was he secretly enjoying it?
[When Qingque appeared before you again, you smiled and said,
"We're old Celestial Jade buddies who play every day. I see you're having financial difficulties recently, so how about this: if you win, I'll pay out the credits as usual; if you lose, just bark like a dog a few times~"]
Victor almost burst out laughing.
Qingque dared to slack off every day while working under Fu Xuan. With how thick-skinned she was, what was barking like a dog a few times?
As expected.
[Qingque didn't hesitate for a second, eagerly agreeing as if she was afraid you'd go back on your word.]
[And then, Qingque lost again.]
[This time, however, Qingque didn't try to weasel out of it. She straightforwardly barked like a dog a few times.]
[At this stage, you didn't bother asking Qingque if she would continue tomorrow. You knew she would definitely come.]
As a clear-headed outsider, Victor knew there was no turning back for Qingque now.
The immense sunk cost was forcing her step by step into the abyss.
[The next day, Qingque showed up at the mahjong parlor on time.]
[This time, you made a new demand.
"The rules are the same. If you win, you can take the credits. But if you lose, you'll have to get on your knees and bark like a dog..."]
[Qingque hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.]
[Two hours later, the game ended. Qingque, unsurprisingly, had lost.]
[Her face was flushed crimson, and she was reluctant to fulfill the terms of the bet.]
[You smiled faintly.
"Since you can't afford to lose, let's just call it quits. No need to continue tomorrow..."]
[Before you could finish, Qingque hastily stopped you.
"Wait! I'll do it!"]
[After speaking, she knelt on the ground with a look of shame and began barking. Qingque's exaggerated actions immediately drew a crowd of onlookers.]
[After fulfilling the bet, Qingque scrambled up from the ground and looked at you with anticipation.
"Will you still continue tomorrow?"]
["Of course!"
Looking at Qingque, who was now completely caught in the trap, you gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.]
[Once a person crosses their own bottom line, there's nothing they won't do.]
[After that, you began to up the ante layer by layer.]
[You treated Qingque less and less like a human, and under your manipulation, she continuously broke her own boundaries.]
[Of course, you would also intentionally lose a few million credits sometimes to give her a glimmer of hope that she could win back her principal.]
Victor shook his head. That glimmer of hope was nothing more than a carrot dangled in front of a donkey—visible, but forever out of reach.
Poor Qingque was being completely toyed with. But since it was himself doing the toying, then it was fine...
Of course, the most excessive thing 'Victor' did was make Qingque get on all fours and act like a dog, but that was all.
He didn't make a move on Qingque.
After all, Qingque was flat-chested and had no butt. Her figure and face could only be considered pleasant, and her personality was that of a comedian.
Victor only wanted to teach her a lesson and humiliate her; he had no worldly desires for her whatsoever.
The proof was that the simulation never once entered Reality Mode...
[Qingque's strange behavior finally caught the attention of her superior, Fu Xuan. Being skilled in the art of divination, Fu Xuan quickly found you.]
[When she found you, she was shocked to discover a pitiful girl groveling at your feet, barely distinguishable from a dog.]
["Qingque!?" Fu Xuan called out tentatively.]
[The girl lifted her head and looked towards Fu Xuan, her eyes unfocused, her expression completely numb.]
[Fu Xuan forcibly took Qingque away. As the head of the Divination Commission, there was nothing you could do to stop her.]
[Watching Qingque's back as she left with Fu Xuan, a meaningful smile once again appeared on your face.]
[A slave who has already been 'trained' won't return to a normal life so easily, especially since she hasn't won her credits back yet~]
[Several days later, you looked at Qingque outside your door and revealed a victorious smile.]
[Fu Xuan, in the end, I was the one who won.]
[Fu Xuan had originally helped Qingque pay off her gambling debts, but it wasn't long before she discovered that Qingque had returned to the casino, and of her own free will.]
[After trying to manage her a few times, Fu Xuan became completely disappointed with Qingque and directly removed her from the Divination Commission.]
[Not long after, you had a new 'pet' at your feet...]
Just as Victor was engrossed in the story, a system prompt suddenly appeared.
[This simulation is complete. Completion standards have been met. Now evaluating...]
