TDDDMFM Chapter 48: The Swindler, The Deceiver
"Oh, isn't that Qin Yumen from the Qin family? Damn, this kid is here, definitely up to no good. Better stay away!"
"Qin Shao seems quite unhappy today. Who could have provoked him?"
"It seems to be this kid standing next to him. He's so ignorant, even daring to offend Young Master Qin. It's over, this kid is finished."
The surrounding onlookers pointed and discussed towards Zhou Xiaobei's direction, their gazes towards him tinged with a hint of sympathy.
Given Qin Yumen's temperament, anyone who offended him wouldn't have a good ending. Zhou Xiaobei dressed plainly, even rustic, all of which conveyed one message: he was an ordinary nobody.
For a nobody to offend Young Master Qin, what good ending could there possibly be?
Even if he wasn't thrown into the river to feed the fish now, he would eventually be tied up in a sack and tossed into the river to feed the turtles.
Qin Yumen had already informed the manager of the gambling den, Chen Laoda, who had replaced the dealer with a skilled swindler.
Next, whether Qin Yumen was gambling big or small, the swindler would cooperate with him.
Zhou Xiaobei was destined to lose without a doubt.
"Xiaobei, maybe we shouldn't play this. I have a feeling this kid isn't up to any good," Beixiaoshuai, a frequent visitor to the gambling den, vaguely sensed that something was amiss and reminded him.
Zhou Xiaobei, however, didn't care at all. "It's fine, just wait and watch the show."
With that, Zhou Xiaobei even flashed a somewhat mysterious smile.
Zhou Xiaobei sat opposite Qin Yumen and sneered, "Big Daddy Qin, let's hear it, how do you want to play?"
"Let's guess the dice roll, whoever guesses right wins."
Qin Yumen gritted his teeth.
"Then let's do it, my Big Daddy. Don't cry later if you lose!"
"Just wait and see!"
Qin Yumen gave a signal to the dealer with a cold look. The dealer, being sharp-minded, understood instantly and picked up the dice cup, shaking it briskly.
There were several areas on the table, including areas for guessing the points and guessing big or small. In the middle was the leopard spot, also known as the "kill all" area.
Playing dice was simple: one to three and six were considered small, while four to six were considered big. If all three dice had the same number, it was a leopard and resulted in an automatic loss, although the probability of a leopard appearing was very small.
"Country bumpkin, do you want to choose first or shall I?" Qin Yumen glanced at Zhou Xiaobei and sneered.
Zhou Xiaobei placed all his chips on big.
Beixiaoshuai saw this and felt his scalp tingling. "My god, can't you be a bit more cautious? You've bet everything. If you lose, you'll lose everything, without even a chance to turn the tables!"
He never expected Zhou Xiaobei to start playing so big right off the bat. Without even blinking, he placed all his bets. This was just too reckless!
"If we're going to play, let's play big. Dripping water wears away a stone, what's the point of dribbling around like an old man?"
Zhou Xiaobei said.
"I'll bet small." Qin Yumen placed all his three hundred thousand chips on small, sneering at Zhou Xiaobei. "Zhou Xiaobei, you idiot, you'll soon lose everything you have. What a fool!"
"Son, don't worry, dad won't lose!" Qin Yumen: "..."
Bang!
The dealer waited until both parties had made their bets and then dropped the dice cup.
"Both parties have placed their bets and cannot be changed."
Zhou Xiaobei's ears twitched, sensing something was amiss inside the dice cup. The dice numbers had changed; originally six-six-five, totaling seventeen points as big, but somehow, due to some trickery by the dealer, with a slight twist, the dice numbers changed to three-two-two, totaling seven points as small.
Zhou Xiaobei glanced at the dealer, who remained calm and composed, not betraying any hint of deceit.
Clearly, the dealer was a swindler!
But Zhou Xiaobei wasn't fazed at all.
Playing dirty with him?
They were still too green!
With a light tap of his finger on the tabletop, an invisible ripple spread out like a mosquito trembling its wings, imperceptible even to the dealer.
At the same time, the dice changed again; from three-two-two, totaling seven points as small, it changed to five-five-six, totaling sixteen points as big.
"Open!" The dealer exclaimed, lifting the dice cup.
"...Five-five-six, sixteen points... big!" The dealer's voice suddenly rose three degrees. As he looked at the three dice lying quietly in the cup, he was dumbfounded, his mouth gaping in an 'o' shape.
Damn it.
He had clearly tampered with the dice to make them small, so how did they suddenly become big?
"Damn, it really is sixteen points big, this guy's got some skills!"
"Yeah, his luck is too good, did he step on dog poop before coming here?"
"Damn, I was worried before, but it seems I was overthinking. This guy's got some luck!"
The surrounding spectators marveled at the big win of sixteen points.
Originally, they thought Zhou Xiaobei was too reckless to bet all his chips on big, but now, to their surprise, he won big right from the start.
"This... this..."
The dealer looked at the dice cup, his entire being in disarray. Although he tried to maintain a calm demeanor on his face, internally, he was shaken to the core, especially when he noticed Qin San's unfriendly gaze fixed on him. His legs even felt weak.
Everyone knew Qin San's character in the arena, and yet he had caused him to lose money. This was like sending someone to the guillotine!
But, he really hadn't done it on purpose!
"Damn it, he actually won, damn it, damn it, my god, amazing!" Beixiaoshuai was also dumbfounded.
He exclaimed 'damn it' three times in a row.
His surprise was beyond words.
"Hehehe, nothing special, just third place in the world!" Zhou Xiaobei smirked triumphantly, then turned to look at the pale-faced Qin Yumen, proudly saying, "How about that, my dear big daddy? I told you, I've never lost a game in my life!"
"...!" Qin Yumen was so frustrated he almost spewed blood, glaring fiercely at the dealer. What the hell was this dealer doing? Why didn't he change the numbers just now? Did he fall asleep?
The dealer turned pale with fright, internally screaming innocence, although he tried to maintain a calm demeanor on his face. He continued, "Gentlemen, shall we continue?"
Zhou Xiaobei sneered, "Of course, I haven't had enough fun yet!"
Gritting his teeth, Qin Yumen said, "Just thirty thousand, child's play. Let's continue... Zhou Xiaobei, just wait for me. I'll make you lose everything this round!"
Zhou Xiaobei couldn't be bothered to listen to his babbling anymore, throwing all his chips, including the winnings from this round, totaling twenty-five thousand, on big again. "I'm still betting big!"
"I'll bet small." Qin Yumen gritted his teeth and threw another fifty thousand chips.
Clattering...
Clattering...
Bang!
The dealer slammed the dice cup onto the table and looked at the two in front of him. "Bets are set."
At the same time, the dealer quietly manipulated the mechanism, changing the dice numbers to small.
