"Did you just snag that item for three million at the auction?"
The man’s grin broadened. "Alright, let’s see what you’re made of."
They returned to the table where the dealer was rolling the dice.
As the dice ca to a stop, so bet "high", others "low".
Rosemary didn’t bother exchanging for chips. Instead, she opened her phone, revealing a bank account with a balance of only one million dollars, and placed her phone on the "high" side.
All eyes were on her, so even peeking at her phone screen. A million dollars? This was her first bet?
Young people, so quick to take risks.
The dealer, accustod to high stakes, had seen people bet with house deeds and car keys before. As long as it had value, they would accept it.
"Bets are closed," the dealer announced after everyone had placed their bets, before lifting the dice cup.
The total was 12.
All eyes shot to Rosemary, surprised that she had placed the right bet on her first try, doubling her earnings.
She had initially bet a million dollars, and now she received two million — the earnings and the principal combined.
She pocketed her phone and tossed out the remaining million dollars, betting "high" once more.
The dealer shook the dice, lifted the cup, and revealed a total of 13. Rosemary had won again, earning another two million.
Murray and the woman by his side were stunned.
They hadn’t expected her to be this good.
In the third round, after the dealer had shaken the dice and everyone had placed their bets, Rosemary tossed out two million dollars, betting "low". The total was 6. Rosemary had won again.
Two million had turned into four million.
Everyone watched Rosemary in disbelief.
She pushed the four million in chips towards Murray.
Murray was stunned, as was the woman. In less than two minutes, this woman had won four million dollars.
"Help win three more rounds!" Murray pleaded. "Just three! If you win, we can talk about anything."
Rosemary felt that he was being greedy, but Carol needed the ingredient. Her condition couldn’t wait.
So, Rosemary looked at the dealer, who shook the dice as Rosemary said, "Low." Murray quickly placed all four million on "low".
Seeing this, others followed suit and bet "low".
Soon, the dealer lifted the cup, and the total was 5.
Murray had won again!
This ti, he had won eight million dollars, including the principal!
Soon, eight million turned into sixteen million, and sixteen million turned into thirty-two million.
The dealer was unsettled. Not only had Murray won so much, but other patrons had also earned a lot by following suit.
This was a significant loss for them.
Murray was ecstatic. He looked at Rosemary excitedly. "How did you do that?"
Rosemary didn’t elaborate. Instead, she looked into his blue eyes. "Ti to keep your promise."
"Are you interested in joining ?" Murray extended an olive branch. "Na your price."
If Rosemary could win every ti, he’d be set for life. Who needs to run a company or conduct business? Making money this way would be so much easier!
"You’re cheating."
The other patrons at the nearby tables were green with envy.
"There’s no way you can guess right every ti."
"I demand a body search. She must be carrying so cheating device."
"Maybe she’s in cahoots with the dealer."
The dealer and Rosemary were both speechless.
"Do you think a cheater could walk out of here?" Rosemary didn’t take the surrounding accusations seriously.
Instead, she looked at Murray, waiting for him to fulfill his promise.
Others were relentless.
"How can you prove you didn’t cheat?"
"If you can’t present any proof today, you have to let us search you to prove your innocence."
"Just a random girl who popped up out of nowhere — she thinks she can beat us? We’ve been playing here for decades! Why can’t we always win?"
"That’s because you’re not skilled enough," Rosemary responded with a look of disdain. "Listening to the sound and guessing the number isn’t that hard."
"What did you say? You can guess by the sound?"
"I don’t believe it. Show us, or we have every right to suspect you."
"You can tell the numbers within the dice cup? I’ll kneel and call you dad!"
Rosemary looked at him with annoyance. "I don’t need a son like you."
She had to prove her innocence, right?
Rosemary picked up the dice cup, grabbed three dice at once, and shook them rapidly.
Her shaking technique was swift and cool — a visual pleasure even just to watch.
The three dice produced a crisp sound under her shaking. When Rosemary stopped, all eyes fell on the dice cup in her hand.
"Six," Rosemary announced the number first, then opened the dice cup. The sum of the three dice was indeed 6, just as she had said.
Everyone was dumbfounded in disbelief.
Could she really guess by the sound?
People with such incredible skills had only appeared twice before.
One was an old gambling king, and the other was the owner of this place.
Rosemary picked up the dice again, shook them once more, and placed the dice cup steadily on the table, casually announcing a number.
"Seven."
When the dice cup was opened, the sum of the three dice was exactly 7!
Everyone was incredulous at the sight of this miraculous girl.
How did she do it?
"No, I don’t believe it — unless you shake a 13 as I said!"
"Yes, shake a 13. Let’s see what trick you can pull off."
"Shake a 13! 13!"
Rosemary picked up the dice. Wasn’t she supposed to pull off a trick?
The three dice clinked in the cup, and after a while, Rosemary lifted the cup.
The three dice had ford a column. Rosemary took them out one by one, the numbers facing up added up to precisely 13!
Everyone in the room was stunned, then erupted into thunderous applause, completely in awe.
It was amazing.
She could even shake the dice into a column.
"Are you the daughter of the gambling king? Or his apprentice?"
"The dice seem to obey your commands in your hands — you can shake out any number you want."
"That’s amazing. How did you do it?"
She was using the dice cup and dice from the house, not her own, and she could shake out any number she wanted.
With so many people watching her, if she were cheating, they would have noticed!
So, how did she do it?
It was unbelievable!
They were all shocked with admiration.
When she was a child, her grandfather would shake a dice to make her guess the number to persuade her to do sothing. Every ti she said big, the number her grandfather shook out was small, and when she said small, he shook out a big number.
Each ti she was defeated and had to do as her grandfather said and complete the tasks he assigned her.
But she always felt a little unconvinced, even suspecting that her grandfather was cheating. Otherwise, how could he always win?
Later, she discovered that as long as she mastered the shaking force and angle — and practiced more — she could shake the dice to any number she wanted. Even forming a column wouldn’t be difficult.
