"This way, please," the attendant led Ceng Huo to a particularly busy gambling table. Ceng Huo was there to gather information and wasn't really interested in gambling, so he casually tossed a few copper coins onto the table.
"Big, big, big—"
"Small, small, small—"
Everyone was intently watching the dice cup, hoping for a win. Their expressions were exaggerated, almost comical.
Noticing Ceng Huo's guarded demeanor, the attendant didn't bother him much, thinking to fleece him once he got hooked.
Standing at the table, Ceng Huo made small bets while observing his surroundings. With his small wagers, he soon went unnoticed as the crowd focused on the high rollers.
At first, nothing unusual caught his attention at the gambling den. However, Ceng Huo soon spotted something odd.
