Chapter 61: Uzumaki Reed: "But the little trick of carving insects is not enough!" [4]

Although they didn't know who 'Chen Daozi' was, hearing this made them feel energized, sparking an urge to exchange more chips and dominate the casino.

"Well said!"

"Brilliant!"

"I, Bird of the Well, would like to call you the strongest!"

In the crowd, they could only shout in admiration, as they were people who enjoyed this kind of daring attitude.

"Ding! Host successfully pretended to be impressive, Force Points +166!"

"Ding! Force Points automatically allocated: Unranked Chef +33, Unranked Gambler +133."

"Ding! Inexperienced Chef (33/10), experience is full, beginning upgrade!"

"Ding! Upgrade successful, gained: Junior Chef (23/100)."

"Ding! Inexperienced Gambler (133/10), experience is full, beginning upgrade!"

"Ding! Upgrade successful, gained: Junior Gambler (123/100)."

"Ding! Junior Gambler (123/100), experience is full, beginning upgrade!"

"Ding! Upgrade successful, gained: Intermediate Gambler (23/1000)."

The system notifications rang in Uchiha Qiye's ears.

He was surprised for a moment. After putting on a little act in the casino, he had earned 166 Force Points. However, after looking around the casino, where there were not only regular people but also ninjas, he understood why.

Immediately, his secondary profession as a chef, which he had never fully developed, was upgraded to the Junior level. And with just a bit of dice-rolling outside, he unlocked the skills of a gambler. In this wave of showing off, his Gambler skill jumped from Unranked to Intermediate level.

A flood of memories surged into his mind, and after a brief moment of discomfort, he recovered.

"This time, I can dominate the tables!"

Now armed with the knowledge of an Intermediate Gambler, Uchiha Qiye was confident. Although the intermediate gambler's abilities weren't extremely advanced, they were more than sufficient for the current situation.

He had no choice but to go all in. After glancing around earlier and failing to spot Tsunade, he guessed that she must be in the casino's VIP room. That area probably required a substantial amount of money to gain access.

Thus, he planned to earn a fortune in the casino and get invited to the VIP room once he had amassed enough chips.

After all, when it came to money, Uchiha Qiye was broke. As a ninja, he had only completed two... well, one B-ranked mission, and had earned a little over 20,000 taels. Did he really think he could sneak into the VIP room with just that?

He must've been dreaming.

So, he prepared himself for a bold move—using 100 taels to win millions, ensuring he would be invited inside.

With that in mind, he walked around the casino with his 100 taels of chips. After surveying the place, he finally stopped at a 'Sic Bo' betting table.

This game was simple: it was all about betting on whether the dice would show high or low numbers. His intermediate gambler ability came with the power of dice listening, a skill perfectly suited to this situation.

He stepped up to the table, and as soon as the other gamblers saw him, they immediately recognized the man who had made the bold claim about winning millions with just 100 taels. Someone even offered him their seat.

Perfect timing—the dealer was about to begin the next round.

Uchiha Qiye watched the dealer closely, concentrating on his dice listening skill.

Soon, it was time to place bets.

However, Uchiha Qiye remained still.

"Brother, aren't you going to place a bet?" one of the gamblers beside him asked.

"I'll watch for a couple of rounds first," Uchiha Qiye replied with a sly smile.

To be cautious, he wanted to make sure his dice-listening ability worked as expected. He had heard the dice roll 3, 1, and 5, but with only 100 taels in his hand, he couldn't afford to take risks just yet. If he misheard, he'd lose everything, and all the boasting he did earlier would fall flat.

That would be incredibly embarrassing.

The others saw this and chose not to push him further.

The dealer opened the cup, revealing the dice: 3, 1, 5!

Just as Uchiha Qiye had heard, no mistakes.

"Success!"

"Made a killing!"

"Fantastic!"

Some of the gamblers who had bet on the low numbers cheered.

But the game quickly resumed.

"6, 4, 6," Uchiha Qiye mentally noted.

Once the lid was opened—6, 4, 6!

Next round: "3, 4, 6!"

Opened: 3, 4, 6!

"2, 2, 6!"

Opened: 2, 2, 6!

After several rounds of accurate guesses, Uchiha Qiye was certain his ability to listen to the dice was flawless. This time, it was his moment to shine.

The next round started.

"6, 6, 6! Oh, wow, these numbers are amazing!"

Overjoyed, Uchiha Qiye confidently placed his 100-tael bet on the number 6. In dice betting, the odds for hitting the exact number on all three dice were 150 to 1. He had heard the roll clearly, so there was no reason not to go all in.

The gamblers around him, though, had different thoughts.

"Brother, betting like this is just giving money to the dealer."

"Take it from me, a three-year veteran. Don't just bet recklessly because the odds are high."

"Such a shame—I thought he had some real skill, but he's just full of hot air!"

The crowd that had been eagerly watching to see if 'Uzumaki Reed' had what it took to dominate the casino were now disappointed, thinking he was just a braggart.

Uchiha Qiye paid them no mind.

A bunch of amateurs.

They couldn't understand the brilliance of his move.

The dealer opened the cup.

6, 6, 6!

The three dice revealed exactly what Uchiha Qiye had predicted.

The crowd gasped in shock. All eyes turned to the man who had just won big.

With a confident air, Uchiha Qiye coolly pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a flick of his lighter, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

"Just a small trick, nothing special," he said calmly, holding the cigarette between his fingers.

In that moment, the entire crowd felt like 'Uzumaki Reed' had ascended to a level they couldn't even hope to reach. They had thought he was a fool, but now it was clear—they were the fools.

If only they had followed his bet.

With odds of 150 to 1, even a modest bet of 1,000 taels would have earned them 150,000 in profit.

But now it was too late.

As the dealer pushed Uchiha Qiye's winnings toward him, he calmly counted the 15,000 taels of chips he had just won. Including his original 100-tael bet, he now had 15,100 taels in total.

Without hesitation, he grabbed 5,100 taels and slid them over to the dealer.

"I, Uzumaki Reed, only like round numbers. Consider this a tip," he said.
