nThe long-haired young man and the rest of the people sitting at the table were looking at Di Jiu with surprised expressions on their faces. Even though it was common to win or lose a billion in the third level of the casino, no one had ever used 100-million-alliance-dollar chips to gamble.

nA billion alliance dollars’ worth of wins and losses equaled a big number of chips. Who would gamble ten 100-million-alliance-dollar chips all at once? If each chip was worth 100 million alliance dollars, then if he were to lose, it would all be gone in a few minutes.

n“You’re generous, my friend,” said the long-haired young man. Anyone who gambled wanted to win money, yet he was left speechless by this man, who used a chip worth 100 million.

nThe dealer did not seem surprised, even though he had never seen anyone gamble with ten 100-million-alliance-dollar chips. At a place like this, anything out of the ordinary was considered normal. Actually, he had once been a dealer during a game with 3 billion alliance dollars’ worth of wins and losses.

n“Tell us the rules,” Di Jiu told the dealer.

n“We are betting on a five-card stud. Each person will have 5 dice. The biggest are in order a three-of-a-kind, a straight, a four-of-a-kind, a full house…”

nDi Jiu did not wait for the dealer to finish his sentence. He immediately interrupted him. “This is too complicated. Make it simpler. Either you will roll the dice, or I will. If there are 3 dice, we will compare whose is bigger.”

n“Well…” The dealer looked at everyone else.

nAlthough this kind of gambling did exist, there were also other people sitting at the table besides Di Jiu.

nThe long-haired young man laughed. “I don’t have any objections. I think his idea is very good. It’s simple and fast. Let’s gamble. If you want a five-card stud, then we better play cards.”

n“I agree…” an older man said.

nWhen the two of them agreed, the remaining three players also agreed readily.

n“Okay, if that’s the case, then we will bet on the size.” The waiter had already put away the rest of the dice, leaving only three on the table.

nThe dealer took out a black dice cup. He held up the cup to reveal its inside and then lifted it into the air. The three dice were directly scooped into the cup.

nThe dice were clinking continuously in the cup as Di Jiu listened carefully along with everyone else.

nOnce he was deeply concentrated, he seemed to be able to feel the traces of the three dice rolling in the cup. The feeling was so wonderful that it felt unreal.

nIt seemed like he had some kind of mental power that flooded his mind and gushed into the cup to observe.

nWhen Di Jiu tried to sense its trajectory, a loud sound was suddenly heard and the cup landed on the table. Di Jiu thought it was a pity that the magical feeling had vanished almost immediately.

n“One million, big.” The long-haired young man took out a one-million-alliance-dollar chip and put it on the big.

nThe other players basically bet between 100 thousand and one million alliance dollars, which was a normal betting range for them.

nThe dealer’s eyes landed on Di Jiu. “Do you bet on big or small?”

n“How is the return multiplier calculated?” asked Di Jiu.

nIt was only then that the dealer realized that Di Jiu had never gambled before. He immediately explained, “The rules on playing “big and small” are different here. The returns for bets on big and small and bets on specific triples are 1-to-1 and 1-to-36 respectively. The returns for bets on three-of-a-kind, specified three-of-a-kind, and first bet for three-of-a-kind are 1-to-24, 1-to-50, and 1-to-180 respectively. In our case, the same specific triples are counted as three-of-a-kind.”

nDi Jiu didn’t know how much return multipliers were outside. He only knew that the return multipliers there were lower than at the Ji Nation’s casino. However, he could afford to pay 1-to-36 for a bet.

n“Well, I am betting 100 million on 3-3-2. ” Di Jiu pushed forward a chip and pointed.

nBetting on specific triples was considered difficult. Even a gambling master would rarely bet on specific triples under normal circumstances.

nThe dealer was a little shocked. This was the first time he had met a gambler like Di Jiu.

nWhen a gambler met a gambling master, the excitement in their eyes was always eminent. When they saw Di Jiu take out 100 million to bet on specific triples, the other five players looked at him in surprise and excitement.

nIn their opinion, Di Jiu had to be a gambling master. Otherwise, why would he dare to bet on specific triples?

nEven though the dealer had experience hosting big events, he felt his heart beat a little faster when he realized that Di Jiu would actually bet on specific triples. To be honest, the casino’s return multiplier was low, so it would be a huge loss to pay 1-to-36.

nWhen they heard that someone had placed a 100-million bet on specific triples, many people from other tables gathered to watch.

n“Buy-off, open!” The dealer sighed and reached for the dice cup. When he saw the three numbers on the dice, his anxiety was eased and his heart immediately flooded with relief.

nThe numbers on the three dice were 4-1-5 , which meant that Di Jiu had not guessed a single number correctly.

nThe people surrounding the table came to the conclusion that he was just a mediocre gambler willing to place big bets. It was a daring move to bet on specific triples with his level of skill.

nDi Jiu frowned slightly. He had been taught listening skills by the top gambling master in Pearl City, a man called Wang Jisan. He might not have mastered these skills thoroughly, but his foundation was still solid. Plus, he had already reached the third-stage Qi Refinement realm, which meant that his listening skills should be a league above ordinary people’s.

nWhen the dealer had rolled the dice, he had actually felt their trajectory. According to his senses, the numbers must have been 3-3-2. How did they turn out to be 4-1-5 ?

nThe dealer took Di Jiu’s chip and presented three more dice.

nAs the dice started spinning in the cup, Di Jiu could sense their trajectory clearly. Although he could not see the specific position of the scorpion, there was a very intuitive impression in his mind.

nBang! The cup landed on the table again. Di Jiu grabbed three chips and placed them on the numbers 1-6-1.

nWhen he realized that Di Jiu had placed a 300-million bet, the dealer felt his heart constrict. It was not a big deal to pay 1-to-1 for 300 million. However, Di Jiu had placed a bet on a 1-to-36 return. The casino could not afford this kind of loss, even though it was well-off.

nNo one moved to place a bet. All the players were staring at the small cup on the table.

n“Reveal!” someone could not help but call out.

nDi Jiu had already made his bet, so there was nothing he could do but wait for the reveal.

nThe dealer had actually forgotten to say that the deal was finalized. He just lifted the cup directly. Di Jiu had no other choice anymore.

nThe three numbers on the table were 1-6-2. Suddenly, there was a big commotion around. It was a pity that one digit was wrong. Otherwise, Di Jiu could have won 300 million times 36.

nThe dealer heaved a soft sigh of relief. Even though the numbers had been revealed, his forehead still oozed with sweat.

nEveryone around noticed that Di Jiu’s face had not changed color, even though he had lost 400 million. They all secretly admired his emotional stability and were certain that he was an old gambler.

n“Move aside! I will gamble with him!” A man with deep-set eyes and a very fair complexion walked over and signaled for the original dealer to step away.

nThe dealer quickly stood up and said, “Yes, Teacher Feng.”

nThe dealer knew that he would have had to keep dealing. Di Jiu had guessed two numbers correctly the second time, so it was certain that he would win after a few more rounds. However, the dealer did not know how to proceed, so he felt lucky that Feng Qi had decided to take over and indirectly save his life.

nNow that Feng Qi was there, Di Jiu would definitely lose, no matter how powerful he was. He had worked as a dealer for many years, yet he had never heard of Feng Qi losing. Feng Qi was a globally recognized gambling king. There were only a few people who would dare gamble with him on Earth.

n“Hello, my name is Feng Qi.” Instead of sitting down, Feng Qi took the dealer’s place and extended his hand towards Di Jiu.

nDi Jiu had cultivated to third stage of the Qi Refinement realm, so he was able to sense an oppressive killing intent as Feng Qi stood in front of him.

nHe realized immediately that Feng Qi was not who he appeared to be. His hands had been used to spill blood. Feng Qi’s face was pale, and his eyes were deep. Unless he was under the influence of alcohol, he must have cultivated some strange techniques.

nJudging by his slender, fair fingers, he was not someone who indulged excessively in alcohol.

nDi Jiu, who did not trust Feng Qi, did not take his hand. Instead, he said coldly, “I’m here to win money. Just roll the dice.”

nEven though Feng Qi retracted his hand, his expression remained the same. He kept smiling as he said, “Alright, let’s get straight to the point. Which one of us is throwing the dice?”
