< Today's third update! Requesting recommendation votes! >
It was true that everyone had to admit that Li You Ran's plan for Jun Mo Xie had been aimed at Jun Mo Xie's temperament. In fact, it could even be said to be perfect. However, this perfect plan had a very special flaw. If the target of their plan had been Jun Mo Xie, then it would've been a fact that their plan would've been a sure thing!
But now, Jun Moxie was Jun Xie. Would the plan still go smoothly?!
… …
Inside the Thousand Gold Hall.
"How about we follow Third Young Master's habits? A thousand taels of silver? Or … a little more? "Li Feng asked with a smile as everyone sat down around the table.
"A thousand taels of silver?!" Dugu Xiaoyi cried out in surprise. Her fair face flushed red. "You're betting that much?" Although she was the only daughter of the Dugu family, her daily necessities were always well taken care of. As a girl, she didn't have much to spend other than buying gold and silver jewelry when she was in the mood. The hundred and eighty taels of Silver Barley she had on her was already a lot. She didn't expect to bet a thousand taels of silver here! The total amount of silver in her pouch was only eleven taels of silver …
Actually, this was normal. A thousand taels of silver was at least a few dozen catties. Even a nouveau riche wouldn't carry a few dozen catties of silver around randomly. After all, there were still things like banknotes in this world …
"A thousand taels of silver? … How long would that take? I don't have that much time. Let's be straightforward. Each bet will be a minimum of ten thousand taels of silver. There's no upper limit. That's it. "Jun Xie laughed." I have plenty of silver. It's just a small amount. It's not worth mentioning! "
Tang Yuan jumped in fright. "A bet of a thousand taels isn't small, Third Young Master." He clearly knew that Jun Xie had only brought a total of fifty thousand taels with him. If the limit was really ten thousand taels, he would lose it all in minutes if he was unlucky. However, on second thought, it was better to lose it all as soon as possible. He had already lost a lot today. Moreover, he had already gotten the written promissory note, so he couldn't afford to lose his brother as well. If he only lost fifty thousand taels, it wouldn't be a big deal. Thus, he didn't stop Jun Xie!
"Jun Sun-shao is such a straightforward person! I like dice the most. Everyone depends on their luck. One roll and two stare at each other. It's fair and just. "Meng Hai Zhou laughed.
"Cut the crap and hurry up. How do we play? Do you want to see who is bigger or smaller, or do you want to guess? " Jun Xie looked a little impatient. If someone was observant, they would be able to see that Jun Xie's eyes seemed to have turned red, which meant that the drug had begun to take effect.
The opportunity was close!
Meng Hai Zhou looked at Jun Xie's eyes without batting an eyelid and said, "Let's make it simpler. Big or small. How about that?"
Jun Xie nodded. "Sure!"
For the sake of fairness, everyone who participated in the game had to take out a sufficient amount of banknotes and take turns to roll the dice. Whoever had the highest number would be the banker. According to the number of people, if there were seven people, there would be seven dice for each banker. If there were six people, there would be six dice. Then, after this round, there would be the last round. Whoever won would be the banker.
After a round of modesty, there were five people: Jun Xie, Meng Hai Zhou, Meng Fei, Li Feng, and Li Zhen. Tang Yuan was now clean, so he could only be a spectator. Dugu Xiaoyi came in a threatening manner, but she didn't bring enough money with her. If she didn't have enough money, even the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't give her face. She could only be a spectator. Her pretty face was flushed with anger. She obviously felt that she had lost face.
Jun Xie's mind turned. How could he not make use of such a big backer? He said, "Miss Dugu is a woman, so naturally, she can't play around with us. In my opinion, how about Miss Dugu versus Piaohong?"
"What is Piaohong?" Dugu Xiaoyi's eyes lit up.
"Piaohong is a bet outside the game. It means that even if you don't participate in the game, you can still place a bet! For example, if you bet five taels of silver on me to win, and if I lose, I'll be a burden to Miss. Then you won't be able to get your five taels of silver back. It'll be considered a public bet, and you'll be able to split it evenly with the other gamblers. But if I win, Miss will be able to bring me luck, and you'll be able to get back ten taels of silver with interest. "Jun Xie explained in detail.
"Good!" Dugu Xiaoyi immediately became excited. "Then I'll bet five … five taels of silver on you for the first round!"
Jun Xie laughed. "A beauty betting will increase my luck greatly! I'll win without a doubt. "
Li Feng and the rest sneered at him. Everyone thought to themselves, "Laugh, laugh, laugh, you'll be crying soon!"
Everyone had thrown the dice, and only Jun Xie was left. Meng Hai Zhou now had the largest number of points. He had one six, two fives, and sixteen points. With three dice, this was already a considerable number of points! If he didn't bet eighteen points, then he could only win with seventeen points.
Li Feng and the others all had smug expressions on their faces. As long as Meng Hai Zhou was the banker, they were confident that they could continue in one go and make Jun Xie lose so badly that he would have to take off his pants! They would first make him lose until his eyes were red, and then they could smoothly continue with their plan.
Jun Xie held the three jade dice in his hand, a faint smile on his face. However, he could not stop himself from cursing out in his heart. Doing something to the tea was one thing, but to think that they would actually do something to the dice as well! It was obvious that something else had been poured in, and the weight was exceptionally difficult to grasp.
It was definitely not lead, because if it was lead, it would be slightly heavier. But now, it was clearly very even. Only a liquid substance like mercury could make it so mysterious and unpredictable. Only someone who was familiar with the mysteries of it would be able to throw an ideal number. If it was an ordinary person, even if they found out that it was a trick, they would not be able to do anything about it. As for himself …
Jun Xie blew on it, and with a twist of his wrist, the three dice fell into the dice cup, making a pleasant sound as they collided. At the same time, Jun Xie's right hand was placed on the table, and a thin stream of air, as thin as a needle, was sent out from his fingers without anyone noticing, extending into the dice cup …
Everyone held their breath at the same time and looked over with their eyes wide open.
The three dice rolled a few times, and stopped.
"This … how is this possible?" Li Zhen's eyes widened as he exclaimed, his face dejected.
Everyone on Meng Hai Zhou's side let out a disappointed sigh. Only Tang Yuan cheered loudly, dancing with joy and laughing heartily.
Two dice at six points, one at five points, seventeen points! It was one point higher than Meng Hai Zhou, who had the highest number of points.
Meng Hai Zhou's side's hopes were dashed, and everyone was dumbfounded: Jun Moxie really had some dog shit luck today!
Jun Xie was overjoyed, and exclaimed: "Wahaha, Miss Dugu's luck is really good, bringing me to prosperity. This is really what the heavens want, today it's time for me to go on a killing spree!" As he spoke, he closed the dice cup, and shook it in his hand, urging: "Place your bets, place your bets, quickly place your bets!"
"Pa!" Jun Xie slammed the dice cup on the stone table, and then let go of it. His other hand gently held on to the edge of the stone table, his face nervous. But his internal energy had already reached the bottom of the dice cup, ready to go!
