Soon, the waiter of the Long's Dining Hall came in with a few sets of exquisite dice.
After Jia Ruidao carefully checked them, he picked a set of dice from among them.
When Tan Xiu saw that the dice were provided by the Long's Dining Hall, he simply didn't bother to check them. Instead, he randomly picked one from the remaining dice.
The way to play the dice was very simple. In front of each person, there was a dice cup with a dice inside. The two sides of the dice would shake the dice cup, and after the dice cup stopped moving, the one with the bigger dice would win, while the one with the smaller dice would lose.
As long as one spent a little time, anyone could master this game in a short time. This kind of game was very popular in bars, karaoke, karaoke, KTV, and other entertainment places.
When ordinary people played the dice, they would compare their luck. Those with good luck would win, while those with bad luck would lose.
But for the casino experts, they didn't compare their luck, but their skills.
In the process of throwing the dice, the casino experts could precisely control the dice's points. In other words, the dice's points were decided by them, and not by luck.
"Chief Long, are you sure you want this kid to gamble with me and not by yourself? Since it's a game of luck, maybe your luck is better than this kid's?" Before shaking the dice cup, Jia Ruidao stared at Long Zhengyu with a burning gaze as he said with a smile yet not a smile.
"Grandmaster Jia, luck is something that no one can say clearly. Recently, this Long has been very successful in the field of love, so my luck in the casino is certainly not good. Therefore, I can only ask Brother Tang to replace me." Facing Jia Ruidao's provocation, Long Zhengyu didn't take the bait.
"Since that's the case, Chief Long, just wait for Walled Hill Village to be handed over to you." Seeing that Long Zhengyu was deliberately pretending to be confused, Jia Ruidao didn't bother to say anything. He coldly snorted and shook the dice cup in his hand.
Jia Ruidao had immersed himself in gambling for many years, so naturally, his gambling skills had reached the acme of perfection.
Along with the shaking of Jia Ruidao's wrist, the dice cup seemed to come alive as it changed into a mirage in the air, making people completely unable to catch its trace.
The dice cup was standing upright for a moment, and then upside down for a moment, just like a coiling dragon from the Ninth Heaven, fluttering in the air, looking extremely beautiful.
The dice in the dice cup seemed to be glued as it didn't make any sound. If they hadn't seen Jia Ruidao putting the dice into the dice cup, perhaps everyone would have thought that the dice cup was empty.
"This old man really does have some skills." Tan Xiu's attention wasn't on the dice cup in Jia Ruidao's hand. Instead, he was silently observing Jia Ruidao's technique, as well as his eyes and ears.
Although Tan Xiu rarely gambled, he knew that gambling was nothing more than "sharp eyes, quick hands, and sharp ears."
Jia Ruidao's technique was very skillful and superb. His arm was motionless, just like a fixed bracket. Only his wrist was moving.
This allowed Jia Ruidao to reduce the range of his movements. Not only did it increase his speed, but it also saved a lot of physical strength.
Jia Ruidao's eyes didn't look at the dice cup, nor did he look at the table. Instead, he slowly swept his eyes over everyone in the room. In particular, his gaze lingered on Long Zhengyu and Tan Xiu for a long time.
Jia Ruidao's ears slightly trembled from time to time. However, everyone's attention was focused on his hands, so no one noticed the subtle movements of Jia Ruidao's ears.
Jia Ruidao's skill in shaking the dice cup was enough to deter the majority of people. Not to mention that Jia Ruidao had real Kung Fu.
Unfortunately, Jia Ruidao's opponent was Tan Xiu. Not only was Tan Xiu's senses dozens of times stronger than ordinary people, but his brain was also nearly a hundred times faster than ordinary people.
Others didn't notice the subtle trembling of Jia Ruidao's ears, but Tan Xiu noticed it.
In the beginning, Tan Xiu thought that the subtle trembling of Jia Ruidao's ears was accidental, so he didn't pay any attention to it. However, when Tan Xiu discovered that the subtle trembling of Jia Ruidao's ears was extremely regular and continuous, he immediately paid attention to it.
"That's not right. It's not that there is no sound when the dice are rolling in the dice cup, but the sound is very subtle. Ordinary people simply can't hear it." Tan Xiu quickly determined that Jia Ruidao should be listening to the rolling sound of the dice in the dice cup. At the same time, he was adjusting the number of the dice through the shaking of his wrist.
Soon, Tan Xiu's attention was completely focused on the rolling sound of the dice.
After all, it was Tan Xiu's first time playing dice with other people. Moreover, he was playing dice with a Gambling King. He didn't dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness, lest he let down the Long Brothers, and at the same time, he would also miss the opportunity to obtain the Spiritual Vein of Walled Hill Village.
On the other side, Zhang Deqin, Zhang Yongjin, Hu Wanjun, and Xue Renfei were watching Jia Ruidao's dazzling movements. Their eyes revealed a fanatical and excited expression. Especially when they saw Tan Xiu's confused and sluggish expression, they became even happier.
As if Walled Hill Village had already fallen into their hands, Zhang Deqin and the others looked at the Long Brothers with eyes brimming with pity and sympathy. It was a kind of winner looking at the loser.
At this moment, the two brothers, Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin, had a worried expression on their faces.
It was because Jia Ruidao's movements were really too beautiful. Jia Ruidao obviously didn't show any carelessness because his opponent was an outsider, but chose to go all out.
Looking at Jia Ruidao's concentrated appearance, Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin brothers were scared witless.
Didn't you just invite an outsider to gamble with you? Why are you so angry?
"Wait!" Seeing that Jia Ruidao's movements were about to bring the atmosphere inside the room to its climax, an abrupt voice suddenly resounded inside the room, startling everyone. Jia Ruidao's hand movements also slowed down, and the dices that were originally attached to the dice cup almost fell to the ground.
At this critical moment, it was actually Tan Xiu who spoke.
Tan Xiu could see that Jia Ruidao's condition was getting better and better. If he let Jia Ruidao continue to play like this, then he would most likely lose to his opponent today. Therefore, he had no choice but to forcefully interrupt his opponent's condition.
"Since Grandmaster Jia is so confident in his gambling skills, why don't we change the best of five games to the best of three games?" Under Jia Ruidao's blazing eyes, Tan Xiu spoke in a neither fast nor slow manner.
Hearing Tan Xiu's words, Jia Ruidao had the urge to take a knife and chop someone, "Don't say best of three games, even if we decide the winner in one game, so what?"
Facing Jia Ruidao's provocation, Tan Xiu decisively chose to temporarily avoid it.
For Tan Xiu, interrupting the opponent's condition was good enough. Whether it was best of five games or best of three games wasn't important at all. Of course, the risk of deciding the winner in one game was too big, so Tan Xiu naturally wouldn't agree to it.
"Then, according to Grandmaster Jia's words, let's finish this quickly and win the best of three games." Tan Xiu agreed with a smile, and his face was filled with gratitude.
"He's really afraid that he won't die fast enough. If we win the best of five games, then maybe he can rely on luck to win this gambling game, but he actually proposed to win the best of three games."
"I can understand his mentality. Since he's going to die anyway, he might as well die quickly and avoid suffering so much pain."
"This is also good, so as to avoid wasting everyone's time. I feel uncomfortable just looking at this kid."
…
Almost no one was able to see the intention of Tan Xiu's sudden voice. They just thought that Tan Xiu was afraid and guilty, and wanted to leave this suffocating situation as soon as possible, so he couldn't help but interrupt Jia Ruidao's movement of shaking the dice.
After Jia Ruidao disdainfully stared at Tan Xiu, he shook the dice cup in his hand again.
But this time, Jia Ruidao couldn't find the subtle feeling from before, and the movement of his hand seemed to have become a lot slower, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
A few seconds later, Jia Ruidao put the dice cup upside down on the table, and all the eyes in the room were attracted to the dice cup.
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Jia Ruidao slowly opened the inverted dice cup, revealing the points of the dice.
"Wow, six points, Grandmaster Jia shook out a six points, we're going to win."
"Grandmaster is really worthy of being called a Grandmaster, how many points do you want, how many points do you want."
"If I also have Grandmaster's means, it would be great, it would simply be a weapon to pick up girls."
After clearly seeing the points of the dice, Zhang Yongjin and the other two couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and even Zhang Deqin's face revealed a satisfied smile.
On the other side, Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin's complexion became extremely ugly, and Tan Xiu's complexion also became dignified.
Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin were scared by Jia Ruidao's gambling skills, and Tan Xiu didn't think that Jia Ruidao would be able to shake out a satisfactory number in a bad condition.
"Brat, do you want to directly admit defeat, or do you want to continue to try your luck?" Jia Ruidao looked at Tan Xiu with a provocative look.
"Old guy, you want to subdue the enemy without a fight, you don't have that ability." Tan Xiu glared at Jia Ruidao, and then picked up the dice cup in his hand, and threw a dice into the dice cup, and slowly shook it in his hand.
Seeing Tan Xiu's jerky and clumsy movements, Jia Ruidao's eyes couldn't help but reveal a ridiculing smile, and Zhang Deqin subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter, he doesn't even know how to shake the dice, and he actually dared to show his incompetence in front of Grandmaster Jia, he really is displaying his slight skill in front of an expert."
"This brat's gambling skills are even worse than mine, but his face is much thicker than mine."
"It's really hard for Chief Long, to actually be able to find such a weirdo. You're not ashamed, but we feel scared in our hearts."
Although other people felt that Tan Xiu's gambling skills were too bad, but they didn't say anything, but Zhang Yongjin and the other two were completely unable to control their urge to burst into laughter.
"If you continue to destroy the gambling house, I don't mind asking you to leave!" Just as Zhang Yongjin and the other two unscrupulously laughed, Long Zhengyu coldly said.
Long Zhengyu's words were like a pair of invisible big hands that pinched the necks of Zhang Yongjin and the other two, making them instantly speechless.
Although Tan Xiu's skill in shaking the dice was very clumsy, but since the gambling house had already started, it was prohibited to make any noise in the house, let alone loudly ridiculing the behavior of the gambler like Zhang Yongjin and the other two.
If the gambling house's result was unfair because of the influence of the outside world, the gambling house could be declared invalid, so Long Zhengyu's words had an absolute deterrent force.
Seeing the scene of Zhang Yongjin and the other two's necks turning red, Tan Xiu's face revealed a proud smile, and at the same time, his hand's movements also slowly accelerated.
