In the morning, there were already many gamblers in As You Wish Gambling House. The sounds of the dealers and the gamblers placing their bets made Ling Dong frown slightly. He was used to being in a quiet room, refining pills, crafting weapons, or cultivating, so he wasn't used to this kind of hustle and bustle.
Zuo Guangzong, who had just caught up, extended his hand and gestured, "Third Brother Ling, please go up to the third floor. Zuo Guangzong led the way and asked politely, "Third Brother Ling, what are we playing today?"
"What else can we play? Of course it's dice. It's simple and straightforward!" Ling Dong's eyes showed a look of reminiscence. After entering As You Wish Gambling House, he couldn't remember a single thing about the past. Especially when he went home with a huge debt. His father Ling Yuanshan's painful and disappointed eyes made him feel suffocated.
"Heh, Third Brother is still the most straightforward! Here's the Money Rolling Hall. Today, we'll choose this single room to get some good luck! "Ling An said loudly.
Ling Dong glanced sideways at Ling An who was rubbing his fists in excitement and said maliciously, "This Money Rolling Hall is a good luck for me, but for you guys … it might not be!"
Ling An's expression stiffened, and his little face turned ugly. "Third Brother, what do you mean?"
"Because all the money in your pockets is rolling out into my pockets. Naturally, it's not a good luck for you guys."
Seeing the tense expressions on Ling An and the others' faces, Ling Dong suddenly felt like laughing. With just a few words, he had provoked their anger. That was not good enough. At the same time, Ling Dong sighed. But at the same time, these little rookies had caused him to suffer a huge setback in the past.
"Heh, looks like Third Brother Ling is full of confidence today!" The twenty year old Zuo Guangzong hurried to smooth things over and said, "Since our brothers are full of confidence, let's see who's better at the gambling table today. Whoever wins the most today, regardless of seniority, that person will be our big brother. If Third Brother loses the most, then we can only call you Third Brother! "
With regards to Zuo Guangzong's provocative suggestion, the other three naturally cheered loudly. The narrow-minded Ling An even put on an expression as if victory was already in his grasp!
Ling Dong didn't say anything. He sat down on the banker's seat and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you want to play, then hurry up!" Ling Dong really didn't have the patience to play with these guys who had just grown their hair. His mentality was still between that of a 300-year-old and that of a 17-year-old.
"Third Brother Ling is still the most straightforward. How much are we going to play today? The lowest is 10 taels per shop?" Zuo Guangzong asked.
Ling Dong glared at him, "Ten taels? How long will that take? At least 1000 taels per shop. "
"Hiss! A thousand taels! "Zuo Guangzong, Ling An, and the other three exclaimed at the same time, their expressions extremely strange.
Their original plan was to raise a hundred taels. When the gambling mood was more or less adjusted, they would raise a thousand taels. They didn't expect Ling Dong to raise a thousand taels directly. This was really out of their expectations. They were all descendants of aristocratic families. Although they didn't have much money, they usually only had around a thousand taels as pocket money. A hundred taels was already the limit.
The four of them quickly exchanged glances. It was Zuo Guangzong who spoke first, "Third Brother Ling is indeed Third Brother Ling. A thousand taels it is. We brothers will play with you! But a thousand taels isn't a small amount, right? " As he said that, he looked at Ling Dong suspiciously and said carefully, "We brothers have enough money. If we don't have enough money, we still have property to pay off our debts. But I heard that Third Brother Ling's family is very good. If a shop costs a thousand taels, I'm afraid Third Brother Ling … Why don't you play with 10 taels?"
At this point, Zuo Guangzong didn't say anything else. He grasped the situation just right. The others also cooperated and revealed a look of suspicion.
Ling Dong sneered. What a good trick to loosen the reins only to grasp them better! He suddenly slammed the table and glared at them. He put on the look of a rich second generation, "Are you afraid that I can't afford to lose? Not to mention that my father is in charge of the Ling family's finances, even my name, Ling Dong, is worth tens of thousands of taels, right? "
Seeing Ling Dong's appearance, Zuo Guangzong, Ling An, and Ling Zhuo looked at each other and smiled. Ling Zhuo cupped his hands and said, "Zuo Liuzhi, you know that Eldest Uncle (Ling Dong's father, Ling Yuanshan) has a job in the Ling family. Let's open it, let's open it. I can't wait. Is Third Brother going to be the banker today? "
"Can't you see that I'm already the banker?" Ling Dong didn't have a good impression of this kind of traitor.
Ling Dong's words made Ling Zhuo choke. He gulped down a cup of tea and said, "Third Brother Ling, please check the dice!"
Ling Dong shook his head. He pulled the dice cup over and grabbed three jade-colored dice. He loosened his fingers and allowed the dice to slide down through the gaps between his fingers. They fell into the dice cup and bounced with a crisp and pleasant sound. He flipped his wrist and buckled the dice cup. Then, he started to shake it.
There was no need to guess. The dice had been tampered with. Even if Ling Dong asked for a new set, the new set would have been tampered with.
However, for Ling Dong who had made a fortune in the casino in his previous life, there was no difference whether the dice had been tampered with or not.
"Bang!" The dice cup was suddenly placed on the gambling table. Ling Dong shouted, "Place your bets. Hurry up and place your bets!"
Just like in his previous life, Zuo Guangzong listened for a few breaths. Then, he took out a stack of banknotes worth a hundred taels. Under Ling Dong's smiling eyes, he placed his bets on 'small'. The other three people also followed suit and placed their bets on 'small'.
Among the four people, Zuo Guangzong was the only one who knew how to gamble. The Zuo family controlled more than half of the casinos in Nan Shan county. It was normal for Zuo Guangzong to be proficient in gambling.
"I've placed my bets!" Ling Dong opened the dice cup. He didn't even look at the result. For the first few rounds, no matter how Ling Dong shook the dice cup, Zuo Guangzong would lead the other bastards to bet on losing. This would arouse Ling Dong's gambling instincts so that he could obtain a better result!
On the gambling table, one would first win a small amount and then lose a big amount. That kind of gambling habit of trying to recover one's losses was the scariest!
On the gambling table, if you lose a few rounds, you might wake up. However, if you win a few rounds first and then lose a lot, then you won't be able to stop yourself from wanting to make a comeback. You will continue to gamble all the way down. Ling Dong in his previous life fell into such a trap!
Sure enough, there were two fives and a four in the dice cup. Fourteen points were big.
Ling Dong grabbed the banknotes in front of the four people and placed them in front of him. "Hey, you're off to a good start! I've said it before. Today, the money in your pockets will come rolling in. If you want to quit, then quit early! "
Ling Dong's words angered Ling An, Ling Zhuo, and the others so much that they rolled their eyes. Especially the narrow-minded Ling An, his eyes were already red. However, these people's anger was quickly restrained. You can laugh, but you'll cry later. Hey!
Ling Dong opened seven or eight shops in a row. His hands were incomparably smooth. He won more often than he lost. There was already a pile of banknotes in front of him. There were at least twenty thousand taels in total.
In fact, it was all because of that bastard Zuo Guangzong who led them to throw the game!
Ling Dong's performance was naturally very cooperative. He exaggeratedly stepped one foot on the chair and excitedly shook the dice. He roared, looking like he was in the mood to gamble.
"Are you all scared? Why are you betting less and less? You're only betting the minimum of one thousand taels. Don't you have any money? If you don't have any money, then get out. Don't embarrass yourself here! "
While Ling Dong was waving his hands and shouting, the faces of the four brothers were getting uglier and uglier. Anyone who had lost six or seven rounds in a row and was even scolded by the other party would definitely not be in a good mood! Especially when they knew in their hearts that this was the result of them throwing the game. Their eyes all focused on Zuo Guangzong.
From Zuo Guangzong's point of view, Ling Dong's expression was that he was in the mood to gamble and had truly fallen into the trap. After thinking for a while, Zuo Guangzong gave the other three a look. The show was about to begin!
"Bang!" Ling Dong once again placed the dice cup on the gambling table and roared, "Place your bets, place your bets. Two more rounds. If I win nine rounds in a row, I'll leave! It's too boring to bully you all! "
The agitated Ling An was the first to give in. He fished out a huge pile of banknotes and casually counted them. He shouted, "I'm going all out. Ninety thousand taels, I'll bet …"
The banknotes were thrown into the air. Ling An was stunned. Zuo Guangzong had not placed his bets yet. How could he follow suit? Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he looked at Zuo Guangzong with pleading eyes.
"Hmm … Since Brother Ling An is so generous, I can't be stingy! One hundred and ten thousand taels … "Zuo Guangzong recalled carefully. He heard two dice, one with three and the other with six. It was a hundred percent big!
"I'll bet big! One hundred and ten thousand taels! " Zuo Guangzong suddenly slapped a stack of banknotes on the gambling table. The other three people followed suit!
"Ninety thousand taels, I'll bet big!"
"One hundred and thirty thousand taels, I'll bet big!"
"One hundred thousand taels, I'll bet big!"
"Place your bets! Let's go! Heh, brothers, you're so generous! "Ling Dong laughed coldly amidst the shouting.
Even if these young masters had private savings, they would at most have ten thousand taels. If they were willing to take out more than a hundred thousand taels, it meant that they had someone backing them!
At the very least, they had to be in the same generation as Ling Dong's father, Ling Yuanshan. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to take out more than a hundred thousand taels! But in his previous life, he didn't realize it at all!
At this point, everyone's eyes were red. No one was interested in flattering anyone. They were just waiting for the moment when the dice was opened. Then, they would dig a hole for Ling Dong to jump into.
Even though they had planned this beforehand, other than Zuo Guangzong, Ling An, Ling Zhuo, and Zuo Guangqi were also breathing heavily. They stared at the dice cup in the middle of the gambling table, waiting for the moment when the results would be revealed.
More than a hundred thousand taels was not a small sum to them, including the person behind them. Even though they knew that this was a trap they had dug for Ling Dong, they were still very nervous about the results!
"You guys … actually bet more than four hundred thousand taels … this is too big!" The more anxious they were, the less Ling Dong wanted to open the dice cup. As he spoke, Ling Dong sent a surge of energy into the dice cup through his fingers.
The rules of the gambling house were very strict. If anyone dared to open the dice cup for Ling Dong, even if Ling Dong denied it, they wouldn't be able to reason with him. Therefore, they could only wait for Ling Dong to open the dice cup.
"Hey, Third Brother, now you know what fear is!" Ling An waved his fist proudly. "More than four hundred thousand taels, how are you going to compensate?" Although the others didn't do it as blatantly as Ling An, their expressions were more or less the same.
"Idiots, do you really think that I've been fooled?" Ling Dong smiled. "Compensate? I've never thought about it. I'm just thinking that four hundred thousand taels should be enough for me to spend for a while, right? "
Under Ling Dong's control, a weak surge of energy gently touched one of the dice. That die flipped over as if it was drunk. It also touched the other die. Under the chain reaction, the other die also flipped over.
Taking advantage of the time when the die fell into the cup, Ling Dong's energy went up and gently caught it. It fell silently. No one knew that in the blink of an eye, the dice cup had made a big comeback.
Only Xiantian Realm experts could release their energy. However, even Xiantian Realm experts couldn't release their energy to control the dice. When the energy came into contact with the fragile dice, other than being cut into pieces, there was no other possibility.
However, Ling Dong, who was once a Heaven Realm expert, was extremely proficient in controlling his energy. Even though his energy wasn't there, his technique was.
What's more, when Ling Dong was poor, he had deliberately studied the method of cheating with Gang Qi. He had really found a way and made a lot of money. However, he was discovered by the expert of the gambling house and hunted down for three thousand miles.
Although this method couldn't be hidden from experts, it was more than enough to deal with these Houtian Realm Level Four or Five guys!
"Look carefully, open!"
