Chapter 61: You Cheated

“You are the dealer, so you are going to roll the dice,” Di Jiu said before he knocked on the table.

What did rolling the dice even an? He couldn’t win 36 tis in a row, could he?

“If that’s the case, then I will.” Feng Qi acted as if he was not in the midst of a several-million-alliance-dollar gamble, but a casual ga between acquaintances.

He swept the three dice into the cup with a quick glide of his hand.

Di Jiu closed his eyes. When the dealer had shaken the dice cup, Di Jiu had felt the dice within the cup clearly. However, his feelings were blurred now that it was Feng Qi’s turn to shake the cup.

It felt as if an invisible force was wrapped around the three dice, causing them to spin randomly under its invisible power.

Bang! When the cup fell on the table, Feng Qi looked at Di Jiu with a smile. “You can bet now, pal.”

“Help get ten 10-million-alliance-dollar chips.” Di Jiu took out a chip.

He was unable to sense anything from Feng Qi’s dice, so it was obvious that he would lose money on this bet. Di Jiu decided to use a 10-million chip to practise. A 100-million chip would be too costly a lesson.

“The minimum bet is 100 million,” Feng Qi said indifferently.

Even though Feng Qi despised him, Di Jiu realized that he was not angry.

During his stay in Pearl City, he had always been the one who despised the casino. No dealer had ever dared despise him. If there had been a dealer who despised him in Pearl City, they would have been dragged out to the street and been left for dead. How could Di Jiu be this calm now?

He took a deep breath discreetly. People really did change.

Di Jiu waved his hand to ask the waiter, who was ready to take the chip, to step aside. Then, he put a 100-million chip on numbers 1-2-3.

When the dice cup was unveiled, Di Jiu lost again.

The second ti around, he concentrated all his attention and focused his ears on listening to the sound of the dice.

Feng Qi’s technique was better than the average dealer’s, so he was not afraid this ti either.

There was also a third ti, a fourth ti, a fifth ti...

When Di Jiu was about to gamble for the seventh ti, he discovered that his ten 100-million chips were gone.

The people around him were causing a commotion. Di Jiu had lost all ten 100-million chips in just eight bets.

“Do you still want to play, pal?” Feng Qi looked at Di Jiu with a smile.

Di Jiu did not pay attention to Feng Qi. He just took out his bank card and told the waiter, “Help get 50 more 100-million chips.”

“Gambling is a leisure activity, pal. No one can rely on it to make it big. Although I gamble myself, the money I lost earlier was just extra cash. Once it was gone, I withdrew imdiately.” The long-haired young man, who saw that Di Jiu was about to lose his entire fortune, tried to persuade him otherwise.

Di Jiu nodded at him. “You are right. But I’m actually a spendthrift, so I want to lose this money.”

Di Jiu knew how terrible gambling was. He actually knew more than the young man did. He had seen too many guys lose everything and lead miserable lives in Pearl City.

If he had not cultivated to the third-stage of the Qi Refinent realm and inadvertently found out that his ntal power could almost sense the specific location of the dice within the cup, he would not have kept gambling. The young man was right. No one had ever beco wealthy just by gambling.

When one gambled, they eventually died gambling and dragged their whole family down along with them. This was always the case.

When they saw Di Jiu exchange 50 more 100-million-alliance-dollar chips, the guests on the third level of the casino flared up again.

Although Di Jiu would monotonously bet 100 million every single ti, everyone found this an exciting bet nonetheless.

Feng Qi, who was one of the world’s most famous gambling kings, was gambling against a spendthrift who bet 100 million every ti. After losing a billion alliance dollars, Di Jiu asked for 50 more 100-million-alliance-dollar chips. Although this kind of gambling was monotonous, it still attracted everyone’s attention.

So people on the first and second levels of the casino deliberately exchanged 10 million worth of chips in order to watch the battle on the third level.

Di Jiu kept losing 100 million alliance dollars per bet. Although it seed like he had beco immune to losing, the people around him were watching him with increasing intensity.

Although there were many people who sympathized with Di Jiu, no one had tried to persuade him to stop gambling. So people were wondering what he would do after he lost all his chips again.

After each lost bet, Di Jiu’s connection with the three dice beca clearer. Feng Qi’s technique helped him exercise his ntal strength better compared to the previous dealer. Feng Qi also helped him mobilize his ntal strength. If this went on, sooner or later he would be able to decipher the three dice.

When Di Jiu had seven chips left in front of him, his ntal strength finally broke through every obstacle wrapped around the three dice. The dice within the cup appeared in front of Di Jiu clearly and a three-dinsional figure appeared in his consciousness.

4-1-6... Di Jiu did not hesitate. He imdiately put his last seven chips on numbers 4-1-6.

Suddenly, there was a commotion. Di Jiu had been betting 100 million each ti, so it seed unbelievable that he had bet 700 million this ti.

As Feng Qi stared at the chips Di Jiu had pressed down, his heart sank. He knew better than anyone that he had dealt the numbers 4-1-6 this ti. Other dealers may not have been sure about the numbers they had dealt, but Feng Qi was called the King of Gambling for a reason.

“A bet has been placed. Reveal the dice! Reveal it quickly!” the crowd could not help but call out.

Di Jiu had bet 700 million this ti, so they wanted to know if he had won. Otherwise, why would he be so confident as to gamble 700 million?

Di Jiu was still staring at the dice cup. He was not concentrating on gambling, but trying hard to capture the ntal strength of the mont.

As the dice were revealed, he was so focused that, thanks to his powerful sense of hearing, he heard an almost inaudible squeak.

Was that the sound of the dice turning over?

Di Jiu knew that the numbers on the table were 4-1-5. He was sure that he was right thanks to the squeak he had heard before the reveal. Even an idiot would know that Feng Qi had cheated.

The crowd looked sad. This was the second ti Di Jiu had missed one number. If the 5 had been a 6, he could have won billions of alliance dollars.

Everyone around Di Jiu looked pitiful, Di Jiu even more so.

“Looks like luck was on my side. Your luck is still a bit lacking compared to mine,” Feng Qi said, looking at Di Jiu with a smile.

Di Jiu stared coldly at him. “You cheated.”

Feng Qi’s face sank. “No one has ever been able to cheat at the Heavenly Immortal Casino. People like you, who cannot afford to lose, don’t co to our casino.”

So people around them were looking at Di Jiu with contempt. If he could not afford to gamble, then why bother pretending?

A raging rush shot up to Di Jiu’s eyebrows. He almost threw a few fireballs at Feng Qi before he resisted this stupid impulse. It would not make sense for him to make more money, because he would no longer be able to participate in the Fairy Planet Treasure Auction. Plus, a fireball would not be enough for this guy. He would not be satisfied unless he made the casino go bankrupt.

However, anger was still burning in Di Jiu’s eyebrows, where his ntal strength was highly concentrated. Di Jiu felt as if there was a crack in his eyebrows that a faint sound within his mind could be heard through.

When he closed his eyes, he was shocked to discover that his consciousness could see through the cup. Di Jiu was shocked. Was this his spiritual strength?

In a short period of ti, his brain felt faint. Di Jiu quickly recovered his ntal strength and looked at Feng Qi coldly. “If I won, I’m afraid you would also claim that I was cheating.”

“Ha ha! I never said that a custor cheated. No guest would dare cheat in my casino. If you had the ability to cheat in front of without being detected, then you would not be caught cheating.” Feng Qi laughed.

“Very good.” Di Jiu took out his bank card and told the nearby waiter, “There should be another five billion inside. Help convert it to chips.”
