Returning from the Immortal World
chapter-42

In the next moment, The Long’s Dining Hall’s attendant came in with a few exquisite dices.

After Jia Ruidao carefully checked them, he selected a pair of die.

Tang Xiu saw that the dices were provided by the Long’s Dining Hall. He was disinclined to check them, but took the remaining pair of dices randomly.

Dice gambling was very simple. Each person only needed a pair of dices with its cup. Put the dies into the dice cup as both sides shook the cup and threw them out. The one who got the biggest total number would become the winner.

Ordinary people would depend on luck when they played this Big or Small dice game. The better your luck, you win and the worse your luck, you lose.

But for the Gambling Master, this was not relied on luck, but on techniques.

In the process of throwing the dices, Gambling Masters were able to precisely control the dices’ number, which meant that the dice numbers were controlled by their skill and calculation, not on luck.

“Chief Long, are you sure to let this kid gamble with me and not you yourself take the shot? If luck were to be compared, yours perhaps might better than this brat, right?” When he shook the dices inside the dice cup, Jia Ruidao stared at Long Zhengyu and faintly smiled.

“Grandmaster Jia, you also know clearly that luck for this kind of thing is unclear. But recently, this Long’s heart feels quite satisfied with life, the lady luck for my gambling chances definitely has been gone. So I’ll have to ask Brother Tang to replace me.” Facing Jia Ruidao’s provocation, Long Zhengyu didn’t take the bait on the hook.

“Since it has come to this, Chief Long could only wait to hand over Walled Hill Village.” Having been refused by Long Zhengyu deliberately, Jia Ruidao also didn’t want to speak anymore. He snorted coldly as he shook the dice cup in his hand and began to move.

Along with the shaking of Jia Ruidao’s wrist, the dice cup was as if alive as it changed and reflected illusory images in the air, causing people to be unable to catch its traces completely.

For a time, the dice cup stood vertically, while at the other times, it was inverted. His movements were like a from the Ninth Heaven as it flew high and danced in the air with exquisite and beautiful grace.

The dies in the dice cup were as if they were stuck, and didn’t exude any sounds. But had people not witnessed personally that Jia Ruidao had put the dices into the cup, they would have suspected that there were no dies in the cup.

“This old guy really has some skills.” Tang Xiu’s attention was not focused at the dice cup, but rather locked on Jia Ruidao’s technique, silently observing it as he fully focused his senses on it.

Even though Tang Xiu had only an extremely low experience in gambling, but he also knew that gambles were nothing but “having keen ears and quick eyes and hands”.

Jia Ruidao’s techniques were truly very skilled and excellent. His arms were motionless as if it was fixedly supported, and only moved his wrist.

This allowed Jia Ruidao to reduce the movement range at the same time. Not only would it speed it up, it would also save a lot of physical strength.

Jia Ruidao’s eyes did not even see the dice cup. He also didn’t look at the tabletop, but slowly swept a glance at the crowd in the room. He especially stared for quite a while at Long Zhengyu and Tang Xiu.
