Chapter 2199: Chapter 2200: No More Bets (Part 2)
As soon as the crowd saw this betting position, they were initially stunned, then burst into laughter.
"I started cultivation at the age of three, became a True Immortal by a hundred, and attained Great Luo after five hundred years. I’ve lived for more than a thousand years and attended countless gambling games in Linglong City, but I’ve never seen anyone bet like this!" an old man laughed heartily.
"Indeed! Betting on a combination of 2, 3, and 4 in dice, isn’t this clearly losing money?"
"Ever since The Drunken Life Pavilion was established, no one has ever won by betting on combination dice, right!"
"More than that, there are very few people who would even place such a bet!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, but it was mostly mocking and ridicule.
Yue Qinghuan’s face turned red with embarrassment, as she stood there awkwardly, at a loss for what to do.
She had no idea what combination dice was!
It was purely a random throw just now.
The female croupier seemed to notice her confusion and smiled.
"Combination dice means betting that the numbers on the three dice in the dice cup match what you’ve chosen. If you win, the odds are one hundred and fifty to one!"
Though these words sounded like consolation, they felt more like sarcasm.
Because the one hundred and fifty to one payout implied how slim the probability was!
Yue Qinghuan felt rather uneasy.
But at this moment, Xue An suddenly chuckled softly and then said casually, "Since the odds are so high, then let’s bet everything on it!"
Upon hearing this, not only Yue Qinghuan was dumbfounded, but the other people were also a bit stunned.
What on earth is he doing?
Meanwhile, they saw Xue An wave his hand, and the chips on the cart automatically flew up, aligning in perfect stacks on the 2, 3, 4 combination dice position.
Each chip fitted perfectly one on top of the other.
If nothing else, merely this display was enough to astonish everyone present.
Because it proved the terrifying control Xue An had over his Divine Sense.
But the people at the moment didn’t have the leisure to pay attention to these details.
Everyone stared in shock at the two stacks of chips on the table, their eyes almost popping out.
Yue Qinghuan was also startled, couldn’t help but whisper, "What are you doing?"
"Betting, what else?"
"But who bets like that? Are you crazy?"
"Wasn’t it you who bet first? I just increased the stake, after all... if you’re going to play, play big!" Xue An smiled.
Yue Qinghuan: "..."
Finally, covering her eyes in exasperation, "Fine, bet however you like!"
At this point, the female croupier also snapped out of her astonishment, looked at Xue An with a formulaic smile, "Have you finished betting?"
"Yes, let’s begin!" Xue An said casually.
"In that case, no more bets, reveal!"
The female croupier’s heart was practically dancing with joy, knowing that her income related closely to each table’s performance.
But since she was in the main hall, her earnings had never been very high.
She hadn’t expected today to come across a sucker who bought the exceedingly rare combination dice.
Wasn’t this like handing money directly to her?
While she couldn’t control the dice inside the cup, her years of experience told her how slim the chance was of getting a 2, 3, 4 and having someone bet correctly on it.
Thus, she confidently lifted the lid of the dice cup, "Everyone, take a look!"
Oddly enough, this time when she opened the cup, it didn’t raise the usual cheer and cursing.
On the contrary, everyone was unusually quiet.
Many were wide-eyed and dumbfounded, staring at the dice cup.
The croupier’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be...
She immediately looked down, and then she froze as if struck by lightning.
Inside the pristine, jade-like dice cup, three dice lay quietly.
And they were exactly 2, 3, 4.
The croupier felt her vision darken, almost fainting on the spot, murmuring in near despair, "Impossible..."
Simultaneously, a wave of exclamations erupted through the venue like a tidal wave.
"Damn, I take back what I just said; it seems I’ve lived for over a thousand years for nothing!"
"Oh my, it really is the 2, 3, 4 numbers, what are the odds of that happening?"
"My God, with so many chips and one hundred and fifty to one odds, how much money is that?"
"Why didn’t I place a bet just now?"
Suddenly, the place was buzzing, including gamblers at other tables who stopped what they were doing to gather and watch the commotion.
Even Yue Qinghuan was in disbelief, staring blankly at the numbers in the dice cup. Long after, she suddenly turned her head and asked, "Did you know all along?"
"Know what?" Xue An said coolly.
"Know the numbers inside!"
"I already said, the dice cup can block any prying; how could I know?"
"Then how could you guess so accurately?" Yue Qinghuan asked.
Xue An laughed, "How can this be me guessing accurately? Wasn’t it you who placed the bet first?"
Yue Qinghuan was stunned.
Indeed!
That statement is correct!
She did place the bet first.
But why did it feel like this guy was hiding something from her?
While she was bewildered.
That gray-robed old man appeared again.
"Chief Accountant, I..." the female croupier anxiously began explaining.
The gray-robed old man merely waved it off, glanced at the chips on the table, then looked at Yue Qinghuan with a broad smile.
"Congratulations, Miss Yue, for winning such a large prize on your first bet; truly worthy of being from the Bing Family!"
Yue Qinghuan was a bit embarrassed, "It was just a blind guess!"
The gray-robed old man chuckled, casting a meaningful glance at Xue An, then beckoning.
A strong man approached, carrying a brocade box.
The gray-robed old man took it in hand, and after opening it, revealed a stack of chips, clear as crystal.
"Spirit Stone chips!"
"Wow, seeing such valuable chips, today was not a wasted trip!"
Exclamations arose from the crowd.
One couldn’t blame them for the lack of perspective.
The chips in the Chief Accountant’s hands were simply too precious.
A single one was worth more than a full cart of gold chips just now!
"Miss Yue, these are your chips, and I invite you to the VIP hall on the second floor. With the chips you now possess, it’s inappropriate to remain in the main hall!" the gray-robed old man smiled.
Yue Qinghuan, feeling bewildered, took the brocade box and nodded.
The crowd stirred once more, many people filled with envy.
Because with their status, they’d only ever heard of the second-floor VIP hall and had never seen it.
Who would have thought this young woman would be invited there upon arrival?
"Please, both of you, follow me!" A beautiful woman replaced the croupier who had begun to doubt her life, smiling as she spoke.
Yue Qinghuan stole a glance at Xue An, seeing his calm demeanor with no discernible expression, resignedly nodded.
"Alright!"
With that, the two of them followed the beautiful woman to the second floor.
After they left, the Chief Accountant’s smile didn’t change at all, but his voice turned icy cold.
"Go investigate who the young man from the Yue Clan is! And preserve all the Shui Jing recordings that just happened, send them to the investigation hall for review!"
"Understood!"
