NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 209
209. A Pillar Holding Up the Sky, So Impressive
Lin Nuo knew the opponent was cheating, but used his strong psychological resilience to play a psychological game with the opponent, countering their cheating and winning unexpectedly.
They initially thought Lin Nuo was on the first level, but he showed the fifth level, and they immediately moved to the sixth level to suppress him, not knowing he had already soared into the atmosphere.
In terms of psychological warfare and intrigue, Lin Nuo was never afraid.
Winning meant sending the opponent straight to the underworld, no unnecessary nonsense.
The boss and the old hands in the gambling house were very angry. Winning in front of them and directly killing someone, how arrogant could he be?
The first card game had just ended, and the second game was about to begin.
Lin Nuo accepted it directly and proposed a life-and-death bet. If it wasn’t for betting his life, he wouldn’t want to gamble.
“Okay, life-and-death bet, you choose the way to gamble.”
The tall man immediately agreed to the life-and-death bet, rather, he was just waiting for this idea.
Watching his companion being cut down, how could he endure this anger? He must repay tooth for tooth.
This gambling house was their territory. This kid could play tricks once, but he didn’t believe he could keep doing it.
Betting life, leave your dog life, blood for blood!
Lin Nuo smiled:
“Let’s roll dice, I like to compete in strength. Each person takes a dice cup, and whoever has the lower points wins, how about that?”
“Dice cup? Fine, I accept!”
The man laughed loudly. Rolling dice, and each taking a dice cup to see who has the lower points, wasn’t this seeking death?
If you bet big or small, place your bets, these might need cheating, making the dice inside the cup change. But with each taking a dice cup and rolling dice, and using their dice cups and dice, how could he win?
The gamblers present were all surprised. This Lin Nuo was going to make a big move again, daring to compete with the other party in rolling dice.
How could he win? Who was the other party? It was Huang Hui, known as the god of dice, who had reached the pinnacle in rolling dice. It seemed the dice already sensed his intentions, and whatever he wanted would come.
This was undoubtedly seeking death.
There were six dice in the dice cup. If it was about who had the lower points, everyone didn’t need to think, it must be six ones, and Huang Hui could definitely roll them.
No matter how you thought, Lin Nuo couldn’t win, at most he could tie, also rolling six ones.
How long would this fight go on?
Lin Nuo asked, “The dice have six faces, which face counts in your dice rolling?”
“Of course, the face facing up.”
“If it’s not facing up, does it mean it doesn’t count?”
“Yes, isn’t this the normal rule for rolling dice? Do you have any other questions?”
“No more, I just wanted to clarify. Fine, whoever rolls the smallest wins, you had no objections just now, so let’s start.”
Lin Nuo first threw six dice into the dice cup without checking if there was any problem with the dice.
He thought they wouldn’t tamper with the dice, it was simple, no need.
This time’s bet, they could completely rely on their own strength to win, no need to cheat.
This bet was also something Lin Nuo encountered in his previous life, and the result was obvious, he lost, a double failure, suffering ridicule and humiliation.
In his previous life, Lin Nuo also actively requested to bet on this game. Lin Nuo’s cultivation was not good, but he had some research on rolling dice, he could roll six ones, which was theoretically the smallest points.
But he still lost.
He thought he could win the bet with his own strength, but he still lost.
The reason was he was too young and was tricked.
Opposite him was a dice master, whose dice-shaking skills were unparalleled, even stronger than Lin Nuo’s.
But Lin Nuo still chose to compete with him, to bet on the same game again. He could predict the opponent’s result, but now he wanted to change his own result.
“How about it, should I shake first or you?” Huang Hui asked with a smile.
“Let’s do it together, and stop when we’re almost done.”
“Alright.”
Huang Hui put six dice into the dice cup, ready to start shaking.
Everyone present, even if they weren’t gambling themselves, was very nervous, not knowing what the result would be.
Qin Shili also felt this tense atmosphere for the first time. She didn’t know what method Lin Nuo would use to win, nor could she guess. If it was to shake the smallest number, it had to be six ones.
Could he do it? Had he practiced before?
Maybe, otherwise, he wouldn’t have volunteered to gamble with dice.
But the opponent, the opponent was someone who had been a dealer in the casino for years and must have developed excellent dice-shaking skills. Even without cheating, he could definitely shake out six ones.
Looking at it, Lin Nuo had no chance of winning this dice game, the highest probability was a tie.
Although she had high cultivation, in the casino, she was just an ignorant little girl.
She could only wait and see how Lin Nuo would deal with his opponent.
At this moment, both sides began to raise their dice and shake them, from left hand to right hand, from right hand to left hand, playing for a while. With a bang, the dice cups hit the table, and both sides stopped shaking their dice.
It was done, who won or lost could only be determined when the dice cup lids were lifted.
The six dice were the weapons of the two, used to take each other’s lives.
Huang Hui said, “How about it, should you open first or should I?”
Lin Nuo: “You open.”
Huang Hui sneered: “Heh, I’m worried that if I open, you’ll be utterly desperate. Fine, I’ll open first, let you see what a dice master is.”
Huang Hui lifted the lid of the dice cup, attracting everyone’s attention. Everyone widened their eyes in amazement.
“This is, this is…!”
Suddenly someone exclaimed, the six dice in the dice cup were all standing in a line, with only one die’s face up.
And the face up die showed one!
No one expected this outcome, they thought six ones were the smallest number, but didn’t expect all the dice to stand up.
This outcome, according to the casino’s terminology, was called “One Pillar Holds Up the Sky,” with all the dice standing up and one face up.
The casino owner was very satisfied with this, “One Pillar Holds Up the Sky,” this was the smallest result, commonly understood as six ones, six points, but “One Pillar Holds Up the Sky” was truly one point, the smallest number.
Lin Nuo had no hope, unless he also shook out “One Pillar Holds Up the Sky,” but this was too difficult, he couldn’t do it.
Lin Nuo looked at the “One Pillar Holds Up the Sky” on Huang Hui’s dice cup, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, this result was indeed the same as his previous life.
In his previous life, he shook out six ones, but was defeated by “One Pillar Holds Up the Sky,” according to the rules, “One Pillar Holds Up the Sky” with only one face up was completely valid.
So, Lin Nuo was tricked by a loophole in the rules and lost the bet.
But now, he knew about this loophole and the existence of “One Pillar to Heaven”. This bet was his home ground.
“One Pillar to Heaven, so awesome. Alright, I’ll open it.”
Lin Nuo opened the dice cup cover, and everyone’s eyes were drawn to it. When they saw the situation inside the dice cup, they were dumbfounded.
The dice were all shattered!
