Luo Chao quickly concluded from his analysis that the lab mice used in that gambling game were hypnotized by the gambling grandmaster of that time.

Luo Chao was surprised by this conclusion, but he found it acceptable.

Because when Luo Chao listened to Zuo Dahai narrate this story, he had already deduced that the gambling grandmaster would employ hypnosis, given the master's identity and the circumstances of the time.

However, the surprising aspect for Luo Chao was that he hadn't anticipated the grandmaster could hypnotize the mice by leveraging their genetic advantages.

Transforming the advantages of other creatures or objects into one's own, Luo Chao discovered that the gambling grandmaster in the story had achieved an extraordinary level of skill in gambling, almost reaching the realm of a gambling deity!

Faced with such a divine figure, Luo Chao couldn't help but feel a genuine sense of admiration.

When Zuo Dahai hesitantly revealed the specific details of the gambling game, he stole a glance at Luo Chao, only to find that Luo Chao's expression remained unchanged, which made Zuo Dahai feel that Luo Chao was inscrutable.

At the same time, Zuo Dahai felt increasingly confident in relying on Luo Chao in the future to help him complete his revenge.

"Brother Luo Chao, what do you think? Isn't this gambling game fascinating?" Zuo Dahai asked tentatively since Luo Chao hadn't spoken for a while.

"Mm, it's indeed fascinating," Luo Chao replied directly, without any unnecessary words, because, although he had figured out how the gambling grandmaster used techniques to win against those rivals, the game itself was undeniably interesting.

"Oh, Brother Luo Chao, I'm not sure if it was right for me to tell you about this gambling game today, although I know you would have asked others about it anyway. But if you get addicted because I told you, I would feel so guilty that I might as well be dead!"

"So, having told you the game's details today, I, Zuo Dahai, must take responsibility for you starting from now!"

"I've been obsessed with this gambling game before, so I know how powerfully enticing it is. Once an ordinary person plays it, they won't be able to stop until they've lost everything!"

"So today, as your big brother Zuo, to be responsible, I must force you to do one thing!" Zuo Dahai said with a face full of worry.

"Force me to do one thing?" Luo Chao was a bit curious when he heard this.

Generally, being forced to do something is not a good thing, but Luo Chao couldn't think of a reason why Zuo Dahai would harm him. He was evidently trying to win his favor, so why would he force him to do anything bad?

However, if what Zuo Dahai wanted him to do was good, why use the word "force"?

Luo Chao couldn't grasp the meaning of Zuo Dahai's words, and it was as if he was completely baffled!

As a result, Luo Chao could only question Zuo Dahai, "Big Brother Zuo, just tell me straight what you want me to do. If it's something I can do, I will definitely complete it, but if I don't want to do it, no amount of forcing will work. I can say with certainty that in this world, no one can force me, Luo Chao, to do anything. Only I decide my actions. So, let's clarify—what exactly do you want me to do? Although I trust that Big Brother Zuo won't harm me, I still need some time to weigh the pros and cons, don't I?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing Luo Chao's heartfelt words, Zuo Dahai showed a wry smile and shook his head helplessly.

Then, Zuo Dahai sighed and, with a bitter smile, said, "Brother Luo Chao, you think too much. First of all, I, Zuo Dahai, am straightforward; why would I want to harm you? Secondly, when I said forcing you to do something, it wasn't truly compelling you. Actually, even without my urging, you might end up doing it on your own!"

Upon hearing Zuo Dahai's words, Luo Chao was even more intrigued.

What the heck? What exactly does Zuo Dahai want him to do?!

Just as Luo Chao was puzzling over it, Zuo Dahai finally spoke, "Actually, what I want is simple, but truly doing it is somewhat challenging—it's just two words: quit gambling!"

"Quit gambling?!" Luo Chao was startled, and at the same time, he understood the meaning behind Zuo Dahai's words.

Indeed, quitting gambling is something many have attempted but failed dramatically.

Because scientific research shows that a substance called dopamine exists in the human brain.

And dopamine can grant feelings of pleasure, stimulating adrenaline and producing endorphins for pain relief and enjoyment.

According to genuine scientific research, hearing a joke can increase dopamine secretion by thirty percent.

Eating delicious food can lead to a seventy percent increase in dopamine.

Love can make one's dopamine secretion increase by one hundred or two hundred percent.

However, using drugs like methamphetamine can increase a person's dopamine secretion by five hundred or even a thousand percent!

Nonetheless, none of these dopamine-stimulating activities compare to gambling!

Scientists have measured with the most advanced instruments and found that when humans gamble and see the stakes, their dopamine secretion can increase by one thousand to two thousand percent!

Therefore, prolonged gambling can keep a person in a high-dopamine state.

Nothing else can catch their interest—not due to lack of self-control, but due to physiological causes.

It's like people who fall in love, quarrel, or breakup; they understand the rationale but cannot control their emotions!

However, although Luo Chao knew quitting gambling was difficult, he wasn't afraid.

The main reason is that Luo Chao isn't fond of gambling!

Kidding aside, Luo Chao himself is a super-skilled gambler, so perhaps no one understands gambling's harm and deception better than he does in this world!

Just like how those who sell gutter oil won't eat street food, and drug dealers won't use drugs, it all comes down to the same principle!
