Chapter 05 Digging a Pit

Tian Bao stared intently at the four dice on the table, his face dark and gloomy.

Tian Long cleared his throat and pushed a stack of blue hundred yuan bills towards me.

I had never seen so much money in my life, and my heart was filled with excitement.

"Just won one round, must not lose focus, otherwise, I will undoubtedly lose."

I reminded myself inwardly.

The Tian brothers were just small-time gamblers who knew a little about cheating techniques.

It meant nothing to win against them.

I glanced at the fair-skinned man, calculating that it was his turn to make a move.

"Tian San, do you want to continue or change players?"

Ma Ye asked in a deep voice.

Tian Bao was not my opponent, and if he continued, it would be like giving away money.

Tian Long looked at the fair-skinned man and said, "Feng Ge, please make a move."

Ma Ye was shocked to hear this and asked urgently, "Are you Bai Feng?"

I didn't know who Bai Feng was, but judging from Ma Ye's reaction, he was not someone to be trifled with.

Bai Feng ignored Ma Ye and stared at me intently, asking in a deep voice, "Are you a disciple of the Southern Guangdong Dice Listening Party?"

Uncle Liu had told me before that the Southern Guangdong Dice Listening Party was very powerful. They could determine the dice numbers just by listening to the sound of the dice in the cup.

With this unique skill, they had won in every gambling den in Southern Guangdong and Macau.

It was said that the leader of the Dice Listening Party was called Jin Ye.

With their skill in listening to dice, they made a fortune.

But all good things must come to an end!

When the gambling tycoon Ye Wu Xiang learned about this, he pondered for three days and nights and came up with a way to defeat the Dice Listening Party.

The Dice Listening Party relied on the sound of the dice falling on the glass bottom of the cup to determine the numbers.

Ye Wu Xiang replaced the glass cup with a transparent plastic one and added a layer of thick velvet at the bottom.

As a result, the sound of the dice falling became almost indistinguishable.

Ye Wu Xiang became famous for defeating the Dice Listening Party and eventually became the undisputed Gambling King.

Although Uncle Liu had taught me how to listen to dice, my skills were very limited.

Dealing with someone like Tian Bao was no problem.

But if it was a skilled dice player, I would be helpless.

I didn't say anything, neither admitting nor denying.

"Feng Ge, this kid is from Anhe Township."

Tian Long said in a deep voice, "He hasn't even been to Southern Guangdong, how could he be a disciple of the Dice Listening Party?"

Bai Feng stared at me intently, trying to figure me out.

I tried my best to act nonchalant and avoided eye contact with him.

"Kid, no matter where you come from, tonight I will definitely kill you without leaving a trace."

Bai Feng said with a dark expression.

I knew he was a formidable opponent, and I had been anxious all along.

But upon hearing his words, I suddenly felt relieved.

Uncle Liu had once said that in a gambling game, never underestimate any opponent.

Otherwise, you are not far from losing.

"How are you going to beat me?"

I asked coldly, "Just with your mouth?"

Bai Feng's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "Kid, watch closely, I will beat you!"

Bai Feng grabbed the dice cup, a blur of motion, and the four dice were collected inside.

As Bai Feng moved his right hand, the dice made a crisp sound inside the cup, which was incessant.

After a moment, he flipped the cup onto the table with a swift motion.

Clean and neat!

Bai Feng slowly uncovered the cup, and all four dice showed six.

"Impressive, truly a master!"

Tian Long praised loudly.

Upon hearing the boss speak, the small gangsters also chimed in with compliments.

"Just four sixes, my nephew just rolled that earlier."

Ma Ye said dismissively.

"That was earlier, this is now."

Tian Long said in a deep voice, "You little brat, it's your turn!"

I calmly picked up the dice cup and effortlessly rolled four sixes.

Bai Feng's face turned gloomy, and he glared at me.

Although I felt a bit nervous, I pretended to be calm.

Seeing this, Ma Ye said in a deep voice, "It's a tie, add another dice!"

The small gangster took out another dice and placed it on the table.

"It's your turn!" I said coldly.

Five dice were my limit.

If he could roll five sixes, this gambling game would be difficult.

"For the sake of fairness, I went first earlier, now it's your turn!"

Bai Feng said coldly.

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on my lips.

It seemed that he wasn't confident about rolling five sixes.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

As mentioned before, don't underestimate the addition of one more dice, as the difficulty doubles.

If Bai Feng could skillfully handle five dice, he would have rolled them without hesitation, putting pressure on me.

He seemed to pursue fairness, but in reality, it exposed his lack of confidence.

"Alright, then I'll show you my skills!"

I said, reaching out to pick up the dice cup, performing a move called "Green Dragon Emerges from Water," and collected all five dice inside.

The move of collecting dice with the Green Dragon was created by Uncle Liu.

He said that this move could intimidate the opponent with its momentum.

Seeing me collect all five dice into the cup, Bai Feng's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Five dice were my limit, and I couldn't afford to be careless. I focused and started shaking the cup.

In movies or bars, those who roll dice in fancy ways are not to be trusted.

Fancy dice rolling may look impressive, but it's actually useless.

If they were to gamble against me, I would make them lose their way.

I shook the cup for nearly two minutes before placing it on the table.

"Hurry up and open it, stop pretending!"

Tian Hu shouted angrily.

I ignored him and slowly uncovered the cup.

"Five sixes, thirty points."

Ma Ye smiled and said, "Impressive, my talented nephew!"

"Thank you for the praise, Ma Ye!"

I looked at my opponent and said in a deep voice, "It's your turn!"

Bai Feng, with a serious expression, picked up the cup, collected the dice inside, and started shaking.

Both the speed and strength were far superior to the previous round.

Bai Feng really wanted to roll a six-of-a-kind, but whether he could achieve it was uncertain.

After two minutes, Bai Feng forcefully placed the cup on the table, a confident smile appearing on his face.

I recalled what Uncle Liu had said:

Before the cup is opened, anything is possible!

"You lost!"

I suddenly said.

Bai Feng's face changed drastically, and he said coldly, "No… it's impossible!"

Before this, Bai Feng had witnessed my skill in listening to dice.

He had been confident, but upon hearing my words, he couldn't help but doubt.

When a person doubts themselves, they are eager to see the result.

Bai Feng hurriedly opened the cup, but unexpectedly touched one of the dice.

In the moment the cup was opened, everyone saw that the dice changed from six to five.

"Twenty-nine points, you lost!"

Ma Ye said coldly.

"You little brat, you're cheating!"

Tian Hu shouted angrily, "You deliberately said Bai Feng lost to distract him and make him lose."

"That's right, this round doesn't count!"

Tian Bao chimed in.

"Bullshit, with so many pairs of eyes watching, you say it doesn't count, and it won't count?"

Ma Ye's driver stepped forward, angrily saying, "If you don't acknowledge your loss, I'll beat you all to death!"

The Tian brothers fell silent upon hearing this.

Later, I found out that Ma Ye's driver was a retired professional martial artist.

Even if Tian Bao and the others attacked together, they wouldn't be his match.
