Chapter 127: You’ve Watched Way Too Many Gambling God Movies, Haven’t You!
“Gambling God Secrets?” Tang Chen repeated, then asked: “System, what is this?”
The System explained: “Respected Host, the Gambling God Secrets are similar to the other martial arts manuals you have used, but the Gambling God Secrets focus on various cheating methods, ensuring you learn them instantly. Your hand speed will become so fast that no one can detect it. Even if you swap cards or cheat right in front of others, nobody will notice a thing.”
Tang Chen immediately felt amazed and said: “Damn, that’s so awesome! But Young Master just heard you telling me to exchange for it. What do you want Young Master to use for the exchange? Completing a mission?”
System: “Respected Host, it’s not like that. It uses your Aura Points.”
“Those again? I thought I used them all up last time when I exchanged for the Extravagant Battle Car.” Tang Chen hadn’t expected that something as awesome as the Gambling God Secrets would again require Aura Points for exchange.
System: “Respected Host, please do pay some attention to your own physical condition or something, okay? You still have plenty of Aura Points, enough to exchange for this Gambling God Secrets.”
Tang Chen said without thinking: “Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and exchange it for Young Master.”
“Ding! Does the Host agree to exchange ten Aura Points for the Gambling God Secrets once?” The System prompt sounded in his mind. Tang Chen heard it and immediately agreed, since it only required such a small amount of Aura Points.
“Ding! The Gambling God Secrets have been successfully exchanged. Ten Aura Points have been deducted from the Host. The manual is being transmitted. The manual transmission is complete. The Host has automatically activated Gambling God Mode.”
After the System finished speaking, Tang Chen felt his head explode with a boom. Then his eyes became incredibly clear, and countless dazzling movements appeared in his mind—some shuffling cards, some rolling dice—all at a speed that was astonishing.
Not only that. He felt his brain cells had multiplied several times in an instant. To put it in one sentence, he felt like a sudden revelation had dawned on him.
The Dealer didn’t notice Tang Chen’s change and continued to gloat inwardly. This sucker is really a sucker; he just handed over a million right away. Even with the commission, I can take over five hundred thousand. He really is a big fat sheep; not taking advantage would be a waste.
The Dealer continued with a smile and said: “Sir, shall we continue?” He clearly said this to Tang Chen.
Tang Chen smiled confidently and said: “Why not continue? Yu Tianyi, push out two million for Young Master. Young Master still bets on Big. A man should always stay big.”
The Dealer was slightly stunned. Although he was overjoyed inside, he still pretended to be cautious and asked: “Are you sure you still bet on Big? I haven’t even shaken the dice cup yet. Do you want to think it over carefully?”
Tang Chen lazily leaned back in his chair and said casually: “No need. Bet on Big. Young Master has money; winning or losing doesn’t matter.”
The other three looked at Tang Chen with some pity. They had no idea where this prodigal son came from; he was practically giving money to the casino.
“Okay, let’s begin.” The Dealer smiled, picked up the dice cup, and started shaking it again. His right pinky seemed to unintentionally lightly tap the back of the dice cup. This was a mechanism installed on the dice cup; using this method, he had swindled countless customers out of their money.
“Bets are closed, open!” Another shout, and the Dealer directly slammed the dice cup onto the table. With a snap, he gently opened the dice cup with a smile on his face. He was absolutely confident it would be Triple.
The moment the dice cup was opened, the other three instantly gasped. The guy on the right shouted: “It really is Big!”
The Dealer was stunned. Big? Are you kidding me? I clearly used the mechanism to change the dice to Triple! But when he looked, it was four, five, six—that’s exactly Big!
“This is impossible!” The Dealer blurted out. What’s going on? Did the mechanism break? That seemed to be the only explanation; otherwise, why would Triple become four, five, six?
Tang Chen’s eyes turned cold, and he said with a smile: “Why is it impossible? Could it be that you, the Dealer, knew the result in advance?”
The Dealer then remembered his reaction was too strong, so he quickly smiled and said: “How could that be? I’m not a god; how could I know the result in advance? I was just too excited. Four, five, six, Big. The house pays two million.”
Although the Dealer said this with a smile, he hated Tang Chen to death inside. He thought he had a fat sheep, but now the two million that was almost in his hand was gone, and he even lost a million instead. But what’s wrong with the mechanism? I clearly adjusted the dice to Triple. Why did it become four, five, six?
Tang Chen found it amusing to see him frowning. Idiot, Young Master has activated the Gambling God Secrets now. Even if I swapped the dice right in front of you, you wouldn’t know. How does it feel to be cheated against? Not good, right?
The other three enviously watched as a pile of chips moved in front of Tang Chen. They started to envy and resent Tang Chen’s good luck. How is this guy so lucky? He bet right and won a million in one go!
The Dealer said: “Let’s continue, let’s continue.”
Tang Chen was expressionless. He glanced at Yu Tianyi and said: “Tianyi, push another three million out for Young Master. Still betting on Big.”
Still betting on Big? Is this guy planning to use one trick for everything? The other three looked at each other. The guy on the left gritted his teeth, then pushed out three hundred thousand in chips and said: “I’ll bet on Big too.”
This guy saw Tang Chen had such good luck and wanted to share in it. Tang Chen knew what he was thinking. He didn’t care at all about someone else joining to share the money. His purpose here wasn’t to gamble but to cause trouble for the Dragon Phoenix Gambling Hall!
The Dealer gave a cold, sinister smile. Last time, I probably didn’t operate it properly. This time, I’ll make sure you lose badly! But when he opened the dice cup, it was Big again!
“Haha, the house pays up! I won three hundred thousand just like that!” The boss who followed Tang Chen in betting on Big excitedly shouted. He didn’t expect his blind luck to actually pay off; he really bet correctly.
The Dealer felt like cursing. What the hell is going on? Why is the dice result never what I want every time I shake it!
Other customers heard this guy’s shout and quickly gathered around. After hearing what happened, they all eagerly stood behind Tang Chen. They had made up their minds: if they wanted to make money, they would bet whatever Tang Chen bet.
Tang Chen smiled and said to the Dealer with implication: “What’s wrong, Mr. Dealer? Are you too excited again?”
Tang Chen felt great inside. Idiot, you think you’re amazing because you can cheat? Young Master is the Gambling God! Trying to cheat against me? You’re just asking for trouble!
The Dealer gritted his teeth, anger showing on his face, but he still smiled and said: “No, no, let’s continue, sir.”
Tang Chen crossed his arms and said disdainfully: “Playing like this is boring. How about this: I have about one hundred and five million here now. I’ll bet it all on Big. If I lose, then I admit I’m unlucky. If I win, your casino has to pay me three hundred million. Want to play?”
The Dealer was also angered. No, I have to destroy this guy. He shouted: “Let’s do it! Bets are closed!” Saying this, he continued shaking the dice cup.
The others also looked at each other, not expecting Tang Chen to play so boldly. Some big bosses thought: I’ll go all in! If he can risk over a hundred million, why can’t I risk my chips?
“I’ll follow with thirty million on Big! I’m going all out!”
“I’ll follow too! I’ll follow with fifteen million! There aren’t many chances in life to take a risk!”
“Brothers, I don’t have as much money as you. I’ll follow with one million!” The gamblers also placed their bets one after another. Regardless of the amount, they all bet on Big. They wanted to take a chance, to follow Tang Chen in this gamble!
“Open!” The Dealer shouted, then placed the dice cup on the table. Everyone held their breath, their eyes focused, waiting for the result.
The Dealer smiled confidently and forcefully opened the dice cup. Then, he immediately froze.
“It’s Big! It really is Big!”
A gambler shouted. They felt their hearts were about to stop. It really was Big. The payout was two to one, meaning the money they would get would be double what they bet!
Have we really encountered the Gambling God? Otherwise, how could he be so awesome?
The Dealer slammed the table and angrily yelled: “You cheated!”
Tang Chen smiled disdainfully and said: “The dice cup was in your hands. I had no chance to touch the dice at all. How could I cheat? If you can’t stand losing, just say so. Don’t start yelling and making a fool of yourself just because you’re losing badly. Accusing Young Master of cheating? You’ve watched way too many Gambling God movies, haven’t you!”
