Chapter 04: Easy Peasy

The gambling den of the Tian brothers is located in the workshop of a hardware factory, covering an area of over 200 square meters, very spacious.

There is a simple gambling table with the characters "big", "small", and "triplet" written on it with a brush.

The rules of the dice game are very simple: four to ten points is considered small, and eleven to seventeen points is considered big.

If all three dice show the same number, it is called a triplet, or "triplet dice", and the dealer wins.

The dice game played by the Tian brothers is very simple, with only big, small, and triplet bets, without specific numbers.

Tian Hu, with a bandage on his left cheek, stared at me with wide eyes and veins popping on his forehead when he saw me.

"You little bastard, you dare to come here, I'll kill you!"

I tightly held a blade between my index and middle fingers of my right hand.

If he dares to charge at me, I won't hold back.

"Tian Second, what the hell do you want?"

Ma Ye's driver stood in front of me and asked coldly.

"He ruined my brother's face, I want to kill him!"

Tian Hu shouted, but he didn't dare to take a step forward.

All bark and no bite!

"Tian Long, what kind of play are your brothers putting on?"

Ma Ye asked.

Tian Bao looked up and said coldly, "Ma Ye, this kid ruined my second brother's face. It's too unfair to only give a gambling opportunity. "

"Do they want to back out?"

I felt a sudden panic.

This is the territory of the Tian brothers, and besides the three brothers, there are about ten small gangsters.

Ma Ye only brought one driver, no one else.

If a fight breaks out, I'll be in trouble.

"What do you guys want?"

Ma Ye asked coldly.

"Regardless of winning or losing, we want an additional ten million in compensation!"

Tian Bao said in a deep voice.

I had heard that among the Tian brothers, the youngest brother, Tian Long, was the most cunning.

Indeed!

Ma Ye pondered for a moment, his face darkened:

"I'll give you three brothers some face. If the loser wins, I'll return the ten million to you."

"You brothers discuss it, is it acceptable? Speak up!"

With that, Ma Ye glanced at the small gangsters who were glaring at him and said coldly, "Get lost, what, do you want to fight me with more people?"

Ma Ye was full of disdain and didn't even regard these guys as a threat.

I realized that although the Tian brothers had more people, they didn't dare to touch a hair on Ma Ye's head. They were just putting on a show.

Tian Long waved his hand lightly at the small gangsters, signaling them to step back.

"Now that Ma Ye has spoken, we can't refuse."

Tian Long said in a deep voice, "We'll do as you said!"

Ma Ye's disdainful expression became even more pronounced, and he said with a stern face:

"Tian eldest brother, you're really going downhill."

"Not only did you invite someone from outside to gamble against my nephew, but you also had your two brothers act. It's embarrassing!"

As Ma Ye said this, he looked at the man standing next to Tian Bao.

I followed Ma Ye's gaze.

The man was in his thirties, fair-skinned, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, looking refined and gentle.

Tian Long's face turned slightly red and he said, "Ma Ye, please forgive me for my little tricks. Of course, they can't compare to your discerning eyes."

"Enough, stop the nonsense, let's get started!"

Ma Ye said in a deep voice.

"No problem, let's begin!"

Tian Long raised his voice.

A small gangster with a squinting eye placed four thick stacks of blue hundred yuan bills on the table.

I opened the zipper of my bag and took out twenty stacks of bright red hundred yuan bills.

I had never seen so much money before, and my hands trembled slightly.

I tried my best to control my hands so that the Tian brothers wouldn't notice.

"Five million per round, the game ends when one side loses."

Tian Long said in a deep voice, "Kid, how about it, are you scared?"

I had never participated in a gambling game before, let alone a high-stakes game of fifty thousand per dice.

Although I was extremely panicked inside, I didn't show it at all.

Uncle Liu had told me that the most important thing in gambling is to have a strong presence.

Once you lose that presence, even if you have the highest level of gambling skills, you will definitely lose.

"Even if I win everything, it would still take four rounds, too troublesome."

I said coldly, "How about a hundred thousand per round, it's convenient and quick, what do you think?"

Tian Long couldn't have imagined that I would say that, and he was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to respond.

"You little brat, stop pretending here, do you think we brothers are scared?"

Tian Hu angrily shouted.

"If you're not scared, then let's do a hundred thousand per round!"

Ma Ye retorted coldly.

"This…" Tian Hu was speechless.

"Kid, stop being impulsive!"

Tian Long said in a deep voice, "To prevent you from crying after losing, let's do fifty thousand per round, a steady stream."

"It doesn't matter, let's do fifty thousand per round!"

I casually said.

Before the gambling started, the Tian brothers had lost their presence. What was there to fear?

"Kid, let's begin!"

Tian Bao said in a sinister tone, "After this round, I hope you can still be so arrogant!"

"You'll see!" I calmly replied.

"The first round, three dice, the one with the highest total wins."

Tian Bao's face turned serious, "I'll go first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and took the dice cup, placing the three dice inside one by one.

Tian Bao vigorously shook the dice cup with his right hand, making a loud rattling sound.

Full of momentum!

I saw this scene and a disdainful smile appeared on my lips.

His technique, in my eyes, was like a game played by kindergarten kids, childish and ridiculous.

I stared intently at the dice cup, listening attentively.

Snap—

Tian Bao forcefully placed the dice cup on the table, with a graceful and somewhat stylish movement.

A smirk appeared on my lips as I said in a deep voice, "Not bad, 666!"

The fair-skinned man's face showed a hint of surprise upon hearing my words. His Adam's apple moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

Tian Bao's face darkened, and he glared at me fiercely.

"Let's open the cup!"

Ma Ye said in a deep voice.

Tian Bao slowly opened the dice cup, and indeed, it was a six-triplet.

"It's your turn, kid!"

Tian Bao said coldly.

To ensure fairness, the small gangster came forward and rearranged the three dice to be similar to their original positions.

I reached out and took the dice cup, using a move called "Green Dragon Emerges from Water" to put the three dice inside at the same time.

After shaking it gently two or three times, I lightly placed the dice cup on the table and casually uncovered it.

As expected, all three dice showed six!

The fair-skinned man squinted his eyes and stared at me intently, as if trying to see through me.

"It's a tie, add another dice!"

Ma Ye said coldly.

Although both Tian Bao and I had a six-triplet, judging from the way we shook the dice, the difference was clear.

Tian Bao's face showed a serious expression upon hearing the suggestion of adding another dice, as if facing a life-or-death decision.

As expected, three dice were his limit.

If another dice was added, he wouldn't be able to control it.

An outsider might think that adding one more dice is nothing.

It's not a big deal.

Three dice can be controlled, so four dice shouldn't be a problem.

This thought is completely wrong.

What does it mean to have one more dice? Those who are knowledgeable about gambling know it very well.

Tian Bao shook the dice cup for a full two minutes, and his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

When he placed the dice cup on the table, he couldn't help but pant.

"You lost!" I said with a confident expression.

Upon hearing these words, Tian Bao's face changed drastically, and he cautiously reached out to uncover the dice cup.

"Ah—"

Someone let out a sigh.

Although Tian Bao had tried his best for a long time, he didn't shake out four sixes.

One dice only showed five points, which was particularly glaring.

"Twenty-three points, not bad."

Tian Long said coldly, "Kid, I don't believe you can shake out four sixes!"

A disdainful smile appeared on my lips, and I thought to myself:

"Who looks down on whom?"

"Even if I close my eyes, I can still shake out four sixes."

I didn't argue, but reached out and grabbed the dice cup, using the move "Green Dragon Emerges from Water" to put the four dice inside.

I pretended to shake it for a while before placing the dice cup on the table.

The fair-skinned man had been closely watching my hands, trying to see through my actions.

He was my opponent tonight, so to confuse him, I deliberately concealed my skills.

After seeing my actions, the fair-skinned man's face slightly eased.

I uncovered the dice cup, and unsurprisingly, all four dice showed six.

The two small gangsters were shocked and involuntarily let out an exclamation.

Angrily, Tian Long roared, "Damn it, what are you cheering for? Get the hell out of here!"

The two small gangsters, feeling frustrated, left the room dejectedly.
