From the three fingers that were secretly clasped tightly on the dice cup, judging by the powerful shaking amplitude and rhythm, this was another illusion technique she had set up.
As expected!
As the frequency of shaking the dice cup began to become more and more dense, the sound of the dice hitting the inside of the dice cup also became increasingly rapid.
The sharp clinking and clanging sounds directly caused the eardrums of those nearby to bulge slightly.
The gamblers who were gathered close, after being stimulated to dizziness by the sound of the dice, all instinctively retreated.
Once they moved further away and their hearing returned to normal, a gambler immediately voiced his doubt.
“Holy crap! It’s really like a small knife scraping the butt—I’ve seen it all again!”
“This is the first time I’ve ever heard the sound of shaking dice being amplified so much!”
After that gambler raised his doubt, it was instantly met with many voices of agreement.
“Exactly! I’ve never heard dice shaken so loudly before!”
“What kind of unorthodox technique is this? Are there any old timers who understand who can explain it?”
“Why explain it? Do you want to steal the technique?”
“What if this is the proprietress’s unique skill in shaking dice? It’s better not to be curious and just be an observer!”
“………………”
As the surrounding gamblers began to speculate, my heart was also stirred by a tempestuous wave due to the move Yu Shuang had executed.
If I guessed correctly, the dice-shaking technique Yu Shuang was currently using should be the signature move of the Dice Demon Lin Zhenbei—San Hua Ju Ding (Three Flowers Gathering at the Top)!
The so-called San Hua Ju Ding does not refer to keeping the three dice gathered at the top of the dice cup and continuously shaking it, but rather refers to the three fingers used to shake the dice.
As everyone knows, the five fingers of a person’s left and right hands each possess different strengths.
Among them, the thumb, index finger, and middle finger have the most prominent strength.
Uncle Tuo said that this San Hua Ju Ding was a signature move researched by the Dice Demon Lin Zhenbei after he figured out the different strengths of each finger.
The prerequisite for learning San Hua Ju Ding is to first train the strength of the thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
Only when the strength of these three fingers reaches the standard will it be as smooth as flowing water when executed.
When shaking the dice, the thumb clasps the front half of the dice cup, while the index and middle fingers work together to clasp the back half of the dice cup, shaking it to make the dice collide with each other continuously.
There’s no special principle, it’s just like shaking a hula hoop.
When shaking a hula hoop, only by continuously shaking it will the hula hoop stay tightly against the waist, and it might even be shaken up to the chest.
Conversely, once you slacken, the hula hoop will move lower and lower until it falls off completely.
The most powerful aspect of San Hua Ju Ding is not its ability to produce astonishing numbers or bizarre formations that shock everyone’s eyes.
Instead, it is that during the continuous shaking, the collision sounds made by the dice will greatly affect hearing.
Don’t talk about trying it again in a quiet place. If placed in a quiet environment, the noise generated by eight dice hitting each other one after another will be even stronger!
If you were to listen intently, the damage to your eardrums from that noise would definitely be much more severe than in the noisy and chaotic environment of today!
Ten years ago, when Lin Zhenbei was still in his prime, he defeated the “Dice Listening Party” that came from the south by relying on his self-created “San Hua Ju Ding.”
Although I don’t know where Yu Shuang learned San Hua Ju Ding, the moment she made her move, I knew… this round was going to be bad!
Let alone the difficulty of eight dice, even if reduced to five or three dice, under the continuous noise of the dice colliding, my hearing would likely be inaccurate.
At this moment, I had already guessed why Yu Shuang proposed to gamble best of three, and then gradually increase the stakes.
San Hua Ju Ding is the foundation of her invincibility!
If the first two rounds were a draw, then in the third round, regardless of whether she could guess the number I shook when she went first, as long as she used San Hua Ju Ding again when it was her turn…
She would definitely not lose!
If I hadn’t seen through Yu Shuang’s trick in the first round, nor understood her technique in the second round, and passively reached the third round like this, the first thing to be affected would be my morale.
When the mind is not calm and the spirit is not smooth, it is easy to make mistakes.
Since Yu Shuang knows the signature move of the Dice Demon Lin Zhenbei, it means her skill in shaking dice is also very high!
This woman had already dug a pit waiting for me to jump into, trying to force me to make a mistake in the third round!
As expected of a queen bee with intelligence close to the supernatural, such calculations are truly flawless!
………………
After figuring out the hidden pit Yu Shuang had laid for me in the dice gambling match, I did not hesitate or delay. The moment she shook the dice cup and it landed…
“I concede!”
Just as she had done before, without even attempting to guess, I chose to concede directly.
My decisive concession did not bring any hint of joy to Yu Shuang’s face.
On the contrary, her delicate eyebrows furrowed even more.
For Yu Shuang, who liked to calculate and control people’s minds, my change of tactic had caught her off guard.
“Heh heh.”
Smiling inexplicably, with the corners of my mouth slightly turning down, I took out a cigarette from my pocket.
After lighting it and taking a deep puff, I looked at Yu Shuang and said, “Beauty, I know you can definitely guess the number I shook this round! So let’s be direct and skip it!”
“Let’s go straight into the deciding round to determine the winner and loser!”
Upon hearing this, Yu Shuang was first stunned for a moment, then she gave a meaningful cold laugh and said, “Heh heh! As expected of a young hero!”
“It seems that this young brother is very well-prepared for tonight’s challenge!”
The unspoken meaning was: Kid, have you been secretly investigating us?
Unfortunately, even though I understood the implication in her words, I did not respond.
Seeing my silence, Yu Shuang’s expression immediately turned colder.
As the saying goes: the more you talk, the more you slip up!
When gambling with a woman like Yu Shuang, it’s best to speak as little as possible.
Once you say too much, she will inevitably resort to any means to extract information.
At this moment, although her face was as calm as a tranquil lake, her eyes were already flashing with sparks of anger.
If no one were present, I suspect Yu Shuang might have revealed her true nature.
Seeing the flickering flame in Yu Shuang’s eyes, I became even calmer.
I knew very well that even an angry queen bee was not easy to deal with, and I had to be fully focused and give my all…
After calming my emotions, Yu Shuang looked at me coldly and asked, “Can you go first in the deciding round?”
Upon hearing this, I nodded directly and replied, “Yes!”
As soon as I finished speaking, I put the last two dice from the nearby tray into the dice cup and began to shake them.
