Chapter 9

Qin Yue walked to the center of the casino, looked around, and came to a gambling table.

Dice gambling!

This was the most popular game in the casino, simple and easy to play. Generally, anyone who entered the casino would play a few rounds of dice. There were usually two ways to bet on dice: one was to bet on big or small, and the other was to bet on the exact number. Betting on big or small meant you would win or lose the same amount you bet. The payout for betting on the exact number was 1:100, so if you bet 100 yuan and won, you would get 10,000 yuan. Of course, different casinos had different rules, but they were mostly similar.

Qin Yue watched for a few moments, found a seat, and quietly waited for the dealer to start shaking the dice. The sound of the dice rattling, Qin Yue gently closed his eyes and silently focused on the sound. Gradually, the surrounding sounds seemed to disappear, and all he could hear was the sound of the dice. Soon, a faint sound came, and in an instant, Qin Yue made an accurate judgment based on the sound of the dice. He suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "It should be 1, 3, 4, a small 8."

"Place your bets!" The dealer glanced at the surrounding gamblers and said calmly.

The surrounding gamblers began to place their bets. Qin Yue did not bet but watched the dice cup closely. After the gamblers finished betting, the dealer opened the cup, and indeed it was 1, 3, 4, a small 8!

Listening to the dice is just a basic skill for someone proficient in gambling and cannot be considered a high-level technique. True gambling masters can even determine the number of the dice based on the shaking motion and force. Of course, this is the level of a gambling master or grandmaster, which Qin Yue, with his current expert-level gambling skills, could not achieve. Despite this, Qin Yue was relatively satisfied with his gambling skills, at least he had correctly guessed the number of the dice.

The dealer started shaking the dice again, and Qin Yue listened closely. When the dealer finished shaking, he already had the answer in his mind. He placed a 2,000 yuan chip on "big." The dealer opened the cup: "3, 4, 6, big!" Qin Yue's lips curled up, and he collected his chips and continued playing. Although he could basically guess the number of the dice every time, Qin Yue did not bet on every round but chose to win some and lose some, not wanting to stand out. If he won every round, it would certainly cause trouble. Low-key wealth was the best way.

Tap, tap!

The dealer shook the dice again. Qin Yue thought, "It's time." A faint smile appeared on his lips. Suddenly, he pushed all his 10,000 yuan chips to the 14-point position. The surrounding gamblers were slightly surprised. Betting on the exact number had a 1:100 payout, but the success rate was extremely low, and few people tried it.

"Place your bets!"

The dealer said this habitually, then slowly opened the cup: 3, 5, 6, 14. Instantly, everyone was shocked, staring at Qin Yue with a 1:100 payout, marveling at his good luck. In a blink, he had become a millionaire. The dealer was also slightly surprised, but although the probability was low, it was not impossible. He could only attribute it to Qin Yue's good luck, and since one million was not a huge amount, he only glanced at him briefly and then paid no further attention.

Qin Yue smiled slightly; this was the effect he wanted, to be low-key. However, he did not intend to continue playing, as winning too much at Zhang Ge's place was not good. So, he took the one million yuan chips and got up to leave the table.

"Qin Yue, how did you do? Didn't you lose everything? Ha ha," Zhang Jun patted his shoulder and said from behind as he was about to exchange the chips.

"I didn't lose; I won one million." Qin Yue turned his head, raised the chips in his hand, and said.

"What? In just half an hour, you won one million from 4,000 yuan?" Zhang Jun looked at the chips in Qin Yue's hand and asked in surprise.

Qin Yue nodded honestly.

"Are you really a gambling master?" Zhang Jun said in surprise when he saw Qin Yue nod.

"Hehe, I don't dare to call myself a gambling master, but winning a few million here is quite easy," Qin Yue said with a smile.

"Really that good?" Zhang Jun looked at Qin Yue's smile, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Qin Yue, can you arrange a gambling match for me? I have no other intentions; I just want to see how good your gambling skills are. I might need your help with something!"

Qin Yue frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

Soon, Zhang Jun arranged a room. Inside was a small gambling table, and a beautiful dealer stood by the table. The door opened, and a man walked in, smiled at Zhang Jun, and greeted him, "Brother Zhang." Zhang Jun pulled Qin Yue to the man and introduced them: "This is Lin Feng, the technical director of this casino, the best expert here. This is Qin Yue, a friend of mine, also quite skilled at gambling. Today, you two will spar." The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, of medium build, and with well-maintained fair skin. Hearing Zhang Jun's introduction, he smiled and extended his right hand, "Hello, please guide me." "Hello!" Qin Yue nodded and extended his right hand. He then used a detection skill on Lin Feng:

Name: Lin Feng

Age: 32

Strength: 5

Agility: 7

Constitution: 3

Cultivation: None

Skill: Gambling (Professional Level)

Overall Combat Power: 15

Seeing Lin Feng's information, Qin Yue felt more confident. His combat power was ordinary, and his professional-level gambling skills made him a master in C City, but he was a level below Qin Yue (Note: Gambling skills are divided into Amateur, Ordinary, Professional, Expert, Master, and Grandmaster levels. At a global level, a Grandmaster is a top-level expert, a Master is a national-level expert, an Expert is a provincial-level expert, and a Professional is a city-level expert...).

"What are we going to compete in?" Qin Yue asked after the introduction.

"Gambling skills are about eyesight, hearing, brainpower, and hand skills. Let's compete in shaking dice and mahjong," Zhang Jun said.

The two sat down, and the dealer announced the competition items and rules: the first round would be dice, where each would shake the dice once and let the other guess the number. The one who guessed correctly would win. If both guessed correctly or incorrectly, it would be a tie.

After hearing the rules, Qin Yue nodded and said to Lin Feng, "You go first."

"Okay," Lin Feng did not refuse, grabbed the dice, and threw them into the cup, then started shaking quickly. Rattle! Rattle! Qin Yue listened carefully. Lin Feng's hand speed was not very fast, and Qin Yue easily heard the sound of the dice in the cup. His ears twitched slightly, and as soon as they landed, he could easily determine their numbers.

Thud! As the cup landed, Qin Yue smiled and said, "1, 2, 3." Lin Feng was taken aback, removed the cup, and indeed it was 1, 2, 3! "Mr. Qin, impressive! Your turn," Lin Feng praised and handed over the cup. Qin Yue took the cup, put the dice in, and started shaking. Rattle, rattle... The sound of the dice rolling became faster and faster. At first, Lin Feng listened carefully, but gradually sweat appeared on his forehead, and the more he listened, the more he sweated. "Clack" When Qin Yue put down the cup, Lin Feng was already drenched in sweat.

"I can't hear it; I lose this round." Lin Feng took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was the difference in levels; with professional-level hearing, he could not keep up with expert-level hand speed. The next round was mahjong, which tested memory and hand skills.

The dealer quickly cleared the table and set up the mahjong. It was a two-player game, and the one who won more rounds out of ten would be the winner. After the dealer explained the rules, the two started to shuffle and arrange the tiles. The tiles were scattered, some face up and some face down, with no pattern. Under their shuffling, they quickly became face down and neatly arranged in three rows.

During the shuffling and arranging, Qin Yue's brain worked like a precise computer, operating at high speed. He maximized his memory and eyesight. After arranging the tiles, Qin Yue rolled the dice, and the two drew their tiles. Looking at his hand, Qin Yue smiled at Lin Feng and directly pushed his tiles over, declaring a "Tian Hu" (instant win).

The two continued to play...
