"Brother, isn't this a bit much?"
As the gamblers were joyfully celebrating their doubled chips, the man in the dim light suddenly looked at me and said this coldly.
He kept his voice very low, and when he spoke to me, his fierce gaze was fully revealed.
Honestly, I never expected that after just one round of dice with a win or loss of three hundred thousand, Tianci Lou couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't watch.
But thinking about it, it's understandable.
For such a large casino, all the cigarettes, drinks, and snacks are provided for free. Where does this money come from?
It's all about the customer paying!
To be frank, the amount of chips I helped all the gamblers win in that last dice roll, if converted to cash, would be enough to cover the cost of all the free drinks and cigarettes Tianci Lou provided for the entire day.
So, they were anxious.
With this thought, I immediately met his gaze like a knife, and said, "What? Tianci Lou opens for business and only allows guests to lose money, but not to win?"
Hearing me directly retort, the man in the dim light knew there was no room for negotiation.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at me, saying, "Brother, you're narrowing your path!"
Upon hearing this, I sneered dismissively, "It's not that I'm narrowing my path, it's that you have too narrow a mind!"
"Fine! Then no more nonsense..." the man in the dim light suddenly changed his expression, "Let's settle this with our skills!"
After speaking, he gently pushed the dice cup and dice towards me, signaling me to inspect them.
This is an unwritten rule of the Qianmen Lan Dao, meaning that before a one-on-one duel, absolute fairness, justice, and transparency must be ensured.
I didn't inspect them, but instead smiled meaningfully, "Can we skip this superficial act? You and I both know that making a change... is quite easy!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the man in the dim light's expression become even more unpleasant.
I said this deliberately, for no other reason than to provoke the other party.
As if seeing through my intentions, the man in the dim light, after his expression changed, suddenly returned to his normal demeanor and said, "Our Tianci Lou is known for fairness and justice. We would never do such a thing!"
"Since you don't need to check, then I shall... begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I saw the man in the dim light flip the dice cup upside down and throw all three dice into it.
This action, at first glance, seemed like a technique commonly used by people in nightclubs.
But the next action he took was far more professional than any nightclub regular.
His index and middle fingers gripped the raised part on the top of the inverted dice cup, and then he flicked it upwards with force.
*Swish!*
The dice cup immediately soared into the air and began to spin and tumble.
At the same time, the three dice inside the cup made continuous rattling sounds.
He's got a technique!
This was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the man in the dim light make his move again.
This dice-shaking technique is not difficult to learn; the key lies in the word "environment."
From the two-over-one technique I saw earlier, I could tell that the man in the dim light's specialty was likely to utilize the surrounding environment to create noise and effectively interfere with those who listen to the dice.
At this moment, the man in the dim light was learning from his previous loss and once again utilizing environmental factors, expanding them infinitely.
*Rumble, rumble, rumble...*
He started with great force, and combined with the noisy, chaotic environment around, it would be very difficult for someone just beginning to learn the art of listening to dice to discern the specific points.
This move in dice shaking is a purely defensive maneuver, and it has a chilling name: Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!
The so-called Hundred Ghosts Night Parade refers to using a forceful technique to make the sound of the dice extremely chaotic and jumbled in a specific environment.
Years ago, when I was learning from Uncle Tuo, I had the fortune to witness him perform it once in a bustling mahjong room.
The sound vibrated my eardrums!
However, compared to Uncle Tuo's masterful technique and the environment at the time, the man in the dim light's performance was not satisfactory.
Especially when he flicked the dice cup upwards with force, the power from his fingers was insufficient, causing his movements to be slightly out of shape, which was the biggest flaw.
As I mentioned earlier, the six faces of the dice have different degrees of indentation, and the sound they make when hitting the inner wall of the dice cup is also different.
As long as one can hear the sound of the initial impact on the inner wall of the dice cup when shaking the dice, one can infer which face the dice hit first and then extrapolate from there.
If there's a move, there's a way to break it!
Unless... he shakes them randomly!
After about two minutes.
When the golden timing for shaking the dice arrived, with a *bang*, the dice cup landed on the table.
"Betting closed, everyone please place your bets!"
Just like in the previous round, as he spoke, the man in the dim light's gaze was fixed on me.
Taking a drag from a cigarette, I placed the eighty-four thousand chips, which had already doubled, onto "big" again.
This time, without any hesitation, all the gamblers followed my lead and bet heavily on big.
Clearly, they believed I would win.
In less than a minute, the betting table quickly accumulated five to six hundred thousand chips, scattered densely in various places in the center of the pot.
"Good!!"
After a pause, the man in the dim light took a deep breath and said, "Alright everyone, betting closed... open, open, open!"
Before his voice had completely finished, the man in the dim light had already reached out, picked up the dice cup, and opened it.
4, 6, 6, a total of sixteen, which is big.
Undoubtedly, I won again.
"Holy crap! Won again!!!"
Someone, I don't know who, suddenly couldn't suppress their excitement and shouted loudly.
After a silence of less than two seconds, everyone at the table and the surrounding spectators erupted in cheers.
Seeing the sudden 16 points, the man in the dim light first rubbed his eyes, then his veins bulged with anger, and he glared at me with furious eyes.
He was very angry and very furious.
This was because the casino had explicit regulations that for any table that had problems, the dealer responsible for it had to bear the full responsibility.
In other words, regardless of whether he had any more tricks up his sleeve or if he could defeat me, from the moment he took over...
The chip payout situation at this gambling table was officially linked to him.
If he could help the casino turn a profit, he would be rewarded!
If he lost more and more, he would be penalized!
And heavily penalized!
Considering the chips that would be paid out in this round and the chips already paid out in the previous round, the combined total was close to a million.
Although the man in the dim light wouldn't have to pay the entire million, at least thirty percent of the losses would definitely be attributed to him alone.
Even though the profession of the man in the dim light was not as dangerous as that of a cheat, and the salary was very high, if he lost a game, it would be the result of working hard for a year only to return to square one overnight.
