Chapter 221: 【221】Normal? Do you think it’s normal?_1
 

Tang Feng resettled into his chair and looked across at Tao Wenxing.

He really wanted to test just how big the gap was between the cheating skills he obtained from the system and those of a real gambling master.

And Tao Wenxing seemed to be an excellent whetstone.

Seeing him actually daring to accept his challenge, Tao Wenxing couldn’t help but silently curse, “Arrogant.”

Did this kid really think that after winning more than 10 million from the croupier, he was invincible?

However, this was good for him.

The more arrogant and conceited the enemy, the faster they perished.

Let’s see how you die today, kid!

“Mr. Tang, how do you want to bet? I’ll listen to your decision,” Elder Tao said, rubbing the ring on his finger, exuding the aura of a superior.

The onlookers couldn’t help but nod secretly in approval.

A master is indeed a master, possessing a demeanor not found in ordinary people.

Tang Feng touched his nose and turned to look at Zhou Bingrui, “What do you think we should bet on?”

Zhou Bingrui was dumbfounded, “You’re asking me?”

Tang Feng nodded earnestly, “Yes, it’s my first time at a casino, isn’t it very normal that I don’t know the rules of gambling?”

“Pfft…”

Zhou Bingrui almost spat out blood, “Normal? You think this is normal?”

Coming to the casino for the first time, not knowing even the rules of the game, and daring to challenge the Zhonghai Dice King?

Normal, my foot!

People around also looked at Tang Feng with weird gazes.

They just saw him win so many times and thought he was a casino expert.

Little did they expect this guy was actually a first-timer at the casino.

He must be mad!

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Bingrui suggested, “Let’s play the dice version of Texas Hold’em then. Each person gets three dice, with six being the highest and one the lowest. The highest to lowest rankings go: triplet, straight, pair, and single…”

Hearing the rules, Tang Feng looked indifferently toward Tao Wenxing and asked, “What do you think?”

Tao Wenxing nodded slightly, “All right.”

“Hold on, I haven’t finished yet,” Zhou Bingrui pointed at the dice cup on the table, “We can’t use the dice cup to shake the dice.”

Tao Wenxing immediately laughed, “If not with the dice cup, then what should we use?”

Zhou Bingrui looked around and suddenly got up to go to the bar. He grabbed a few paper cups and came back, “We’ll use these.”

He stacked two paper cups on top of each other and handed a set to both Tang Feng and Tao Wenxing.

Pride secretly swelled in his heart.

Dice experts like Tao Wenxing could manipulate the outcome of the dice using the dice cup.

By purposely switching to paper cups, he could at least limit Tao Wenxing’s performance to some degree.

It might not change the final result, but that was all he could do.

The more he thought about it, the prouder he felt. He turned to Tang Feng, expecting some praise.

But what met him was Tang Feng’s speechless expression.

He had wanted to test the mastery of cheating techniques, but this guy had switched the dice cup to paper cups.

He was genuinely dumbfounded by this Six.

“Can we start now?”

Tao Wenxing glanced at the paper cups but did not say much.

To a real master, whether it’s paper cups or dice cups, there’s not much difference.

Tang Feng nodded, “Let’s begin.”

The croupier immediately brought over six dice for the two to inspect.

After verifying there were no errors, three dice were distributed to each player.

“Tang Feng, come on!” Mao Anyi waved her little fist encouragingly at Tang Feng.

But she was immediately met with cold sarcasm from the surrounding crowd.

“What’s there to cheer for? He’s betting against Elder Tao; he doesn’t stand a chance of winning.”

“Exactly, doesn’t he know his place? He dares to challenge Elder Tao?”

“Today Elder Tao will teach him a lesson and show him what it means to be in over your head.”

“Heh, if he could win a single round against Elder Tao, I’ll eat shit right here in front of everyone…”

Zhou Bingrui, hearing the ridicule, smirked, “Since you all have so much faith in Elder Tao’s skills, would you dare to bet with me?”

“How shall we bet?” someone immediately asked.

“It’s simple. I’ll act as the dealer. If Elder Tao wins in the end, I’ll pay you however much you bet. If my friend wins, I take it all. How about it, do you dare?” Zhou Bingrui’s gaze swept across the audience.

“Count me in. If Tang Feng loses, I’ll pay up with you,” Mao Anyi also spoke up, standing her ground.

The group of gamblers exchanged quick glances, all thinking these two had lost their minds.

Knowing full well that Tao Wenxing was certain to win, they still dared to make such a bet?

Were they just handing them money?

“If we all bet together, can you afford to cover it?” someone asked.

Zhou Bingrui immediately laughed, “Are you new here? You don’t know who I am?”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone else chimed in.

“You don’t know Mr. Rui and you dare come to the casino?”

“As if Mr. Rui would ever stiff you on a bet. What a joke!”

“That woman seems to be Mao Anyi, the host from Zhonghai TV. I didn’t expect to see her in a place like this.”

“What’s there to hesitate about? With Mr. Rui and host Mao here, there’s no need to fear they’ll bail on the debt, right?”

“I bet a hundred thousand, Elder Tao will win!”

“I bet two hundred thousand…”

Many of the gamblers were eager to put up their chips.

It was like they were being handed free money; only a fool wouldn’t take the bet.

Zhou Bingrui collected the chips, while Mao Anyi took care of the registration.

In the end, the two of them together had accumulated almost five million in bets for just this round.

That is, if Tang Feng lost this round, the two of them would have to pay out at least five million.

Tang Feng was utterly speechless with their actions, “What are you guys doing?”

Zhou Bingrui flashed a grin, “Just cheering you on, you know. Now we’re all in this together. Just don’t lose too badly.”

Tang Feng immediately felt enormous pressure.

He had originally wanted to test the waters for a few rounds.

But with Zhou Bingrui’s actions, it seemed he no longer had the luxury of holding back.

“Let’s get started,” he said, looking up at Tao Wenxing. Then he covered the three dice with a paper cup and began to shake them.

The shaking started off slow, but gradually picked up speed.

Eventually, the onlookers could only see the flurry of afterimages.
