Ninth in The World - Chapter 60

Chapter 60

The long-haired young man and the rest of the people sitting at the table were looking at Di Jiu with surprised expressions on their faces . Even though it was common to win or lose a billion in the third level of the casino, no one had ever used 100-million-alliance-dollar chips to gamble .

A billion alliance dollars’ worth of wins and losses equaled a big number of chips . Who would gamble ten 100-million-alliance-dollar chips all at once? If each chip was worth 100 million alliance dollars, then if he were to lose, it would all be gone in a few minutes .

“You’re generous, my friend,” said the long-haired young man . Anyone who gambled wanted to win money, yet he was left speechless by this man, who used a chip worth 100 million .

The dealer did not seem surprised, even though he had never seen anyone gamble with ten 100-million-alliance-dollar chips . At a place like this, anything out of the ordinary was considered normal . Actually, he had once been a dealer during a game with 3 billion alliance dollars’ worth of wins and losses .

“Tell us the rules,” Di Jiu told the dealer .

“We are betting on a five-card stud . Each person will have 5 dice . The biggest are in order a three-of-a-kind, a straight, a four-of-a-kind, a full house…”

Di Jiu did not wait for the dealer to finish his sentence . He immediately interrupted him . “This is too complicated . Make it simpler . Either you will roll the dice, or I will . If there are 3 dice, we will compare whose is bigger . ”

“Well…” The dealer looked at everyone else .

Although this kind of gambling did exist, there were also other people sitting at the table besides Di Jiu .

The long-haired young man laughed . “I don’t have any objections . I think his idea is very good . It’s simple and fast . Let’s gamble . If you want a five-card stud, then we better play cards . ”

“I agree…” an older man said .

When the two of them agreed, the remaining three players also agreed readily .

“Okay, if that’s the case, then we will bet on the size . ” The waiter had already put away the rest of the dice, leaving only three on the table .

The dealer took out a black dice cup . He held up the cup to reveal its inside and then lifted it into the air . The three dice were directly scooped into the cup .

The dice were clinking continuously in the cup as Di Jiu listened carefully along with everyone else .

Once he was deeply concentrated, he seemed to be able to feel the traces of the three dice rolling in the cup . The feeling was so wonderful that it felt unreal .

It seemed like he had some kind of mental power that flooded his mind and gushed into the cup to observe .

When Di Jiu tried to sense its trajectory, a loud sound was suddenly heard and the cup landed on the table . Di Jiu thought it was a pity that the magical feeling had vanished almost immediately .

“One million, big . ” The long-haired young man took out a one-million-alliance-dollar chip and put it on the big .

The other players basically bet between 100 thousand and one million alliance dollars, which was a normal betting range for them .

The dealer’s eyes landed on Di Jiu . “Do you bet on big or small?”

“How is the return multiplier calculated?” asked Di Jiu .

It was only then that the dealer realized that Di Jiu had never gambled before . He immediately explained, “The rules on playing “big and small” are different here . The returns for bets on big and small and bets on specific triples are 1-to-1 and 1-to-36 respectively . The returns for bets on three-of-a-kind, specified three-of-a-kind, and first bet for three-of-a-kind are 1-to-24, 1-to-50, and 1-to-180 respectively . In our case, the same specific triples are counted as three-of-a-kind . ”

Di Jiu didn’t know how much return multipliers were outside . He only knew that the return multipliers there were lower than at the Ji Nation’s casino . However, he could afford to pay 1-to-36 for a bet .

“Well, I am betting 100 million on 3-3-2 . ” Di Jiu pushed forward a chip and pointed .

Betting on specific triples was considered difficult . Even a gambling master would rarely bet on specific triples under normal circumstances .

The dealer was a little shocked . This was the first time he had met a gambler like Di Jiu .

When a gambler met a gambling master, the excitement in their eyes was always eminent . When they saw Di Jiu take out 100 million to bet on specific triples, the other five players looked at him in surprise and excitement .

In their opinion, Di Jiu had to be a gambling master . Otherwise, why would he dare to bet on specific triples?

Even though the dealer had experience hosting big events, he felt his heart beat a little faster when he realized that Di Jiu would actually bet on specific triples . To be honest, the casino’s return multiplier was low, so it would be a huge loss to pay 1-to-36 .

When they heard that someone had placed a 100-million bet on specific triples, many people from other tables gathered to watch .

“Buy-off, open!” The dealer sighed and reached for the dice cup . When he saw the three numbers on the dice, his anxiety was eased and his heart immediately flooded with relief .

The numbers on the three dice were 4-1-5 , which meant that Di Jiu had not guessed a single number correctly .

The people surrounding the table came to the conclusion that he was just a mediocre gambler willing to place big bets . It was a daring move to bet on specific triples with his level of skill .

Di Jiu frowned slightly . He had been taught listening skills by the top gambling master in Pearl City, a man called Wang Jisan . He might not have mastered these skills thoroughly, but his foundation was still solid . Plus, he had already reached the third-stage Qi Refinement realm, which meant that his listening skills should be a league above ordinary people’s .

When the dealer had rolled the dice, he had actually felt their trajectory . According to his senses, the numbers must have been 3-3-2 . How did they turn out to be 4-1-5 ?

The dealer took Di Jiu’s chip and presented three more dice .

As the dice started spinning in the cup, Di Jiu could sense their trajectory clearly . Although he could not see the specific position of the scorpion, there was a very intuitive impression in his mind .

Bang! The cup landed on the table again . Di Jiu grabbed three chips and placed them on the numbers 1-6-1 .

When he realized that Di Jiu had placed a 300-million bet, the dealer felt his heart constrict . It was not a big deal to pay 1-to-1 for 300 million . However, Di Jiu had placed a bet on a 1-to-36 return . The casino could not afford this kind of loss, even though it was well-off .

No one moved to place a bet . All the players were staring at the small cup on the table .

“Reveal!” someone could not help but call out .

Di Jiu had already made his bet, so there was nothing he could do but wait for the reveal .

The dealer had actually forgotten to say that the deal was finalized . He just lifted the cup directly . Di Jiu had no other choice anymore .

The three numbers on the table were 1-6-2 . Suddenly, there was a big commotion around . It was a pity that one digit was wrong . Otherwise, Di Jiu could have won 300 million times 36 .

The dealer heaved a soft sigh of relief . Even though the numbers had been revealed, his forehead still oozed with sweat .

Everyone around noticed that Di Jiu’s face had not changed color, even though he had lost 400 million . They all secretly admired his emotional stability and were certain that he was an old gambler .

“Move aside! I will gamble with him!” A man with deep-set eyes and a very fair complexion walked over and signaled for the original dealer to step away .

The dealer quickly stood up and said, “Yes, Teacher Feng . ”

The dealer knew that he would have had to keep dealing . Di Jiu had guessed two numbers correctly the second time, so it was certain that he would win after a few more rounds . However, the dealer did not know how to proceed, so he felt lucky that Feng Qi had decided to take over and indirectly save his life .

Now that Feng Qi was there, Di Jiu would definitely lose, no matter how powerful he was . He had worked as a dealer for many years, yet he had never heard of Feng Qi losing . Feng Qi was a globally recognized gambling king . There were only a few people who would dare gamble with him on Earth .

“Hello, my name is Feng Qi . ” Instead of sitting down, Feng Qi took the dealer’s place and extended his hand towards Di Jiu .

Di Jiu had cultivated to third stage of the Qi Refinement realm, so he was able to sense an oppressive killing intent as Feng Qi stood in front of him .

He realized immediately that Feng Qi was not who he appeared to be . His hands had been used to spill blood . Feng Qi’s face was pale, and his eyes were deep . Unless he was under the influence of alcohol, he must have cultivated some strange techniques .

Judging by his slender, fair fingers, he was not someone who indulged excessively in alcohol .

Di Jiu, who did not trust Feng Qi, did not take his hand . Instead, he said coldly, “I’m here to win money . Just roll the dice . ”

Even though Feng Qi retracted his hand, his expression remained the same . He kept smiling as he said, “Alright, let’s get straight to the point . Which one of us is throwing the dice?”
