Xiao Zheng’s dice-rolling stance could be described as exceptionally awkward. His simple back and forth shaking resembled that of a child just learning to roll dice, utterly clumsy to an extre degree.
The onlookers, witnessing this scene, burst into laughter.
"Oh my God, does he actually know how to play dice? I feel like he’s here to crack jokes instead."
"Do you think this could be sothing set up by the organizers? Heh heh, purposely inviting a clown to lighten up the mood."
"Hahaha, no matter what, there’s going to be a good laugh soon. I can’t wait to see how this guy wraps it up, just thinking about it gets excited."
Mockery was apparent in the smiles on everyone’s faces.
Xiao Zheng’s dice-rolling pose was simply too "enchanting."
Leng Ruobing, on the other hand, was filled with anxiety. "Could it be that Xiao Zheng really doesn’t know how?"
She bit her lip, feeling sowhat uncomfortable, hardly able to imagine the ridicule Xiao Zheng would face soon.
"Forget it, when the ti cos, I’ll just pull him away. This thoughtless fellow."
Leng Ruobing silently thought to herself.
Monts later.
Xiao Zheng had finished rolling the dice and with a bang, he placed the dice cup on the table.
Seeing no further movent from him, the crowd jeered.
"What’s the matter, too scared to reveal the roll?"
"Hahaha, just concede already."
"It would look better on your face if you just admitted defeat."
The crowd erupted into laughter, the atmosphere brimming with rrint as they all treated Xiao Zheng like a jest.
Leng Ruobing, finding it hard to watch, swept her gaze coldly across, and the aura of the Ice Queen spread, sending a chill that instinctively silenced everyone.
"Hmph, Xiao Zheng, let’s go."
Striding forward in her high heels, Leng Ruobing imperiously reached out to pull Xiao Zheng away.
She had no intention of attending the fashion show anymore.
Xiao Zheng’s place in her heart was far more important than any fashion show.
However, when Leng Ruobing tugged, she couldn’t move him. Turning her head, she saw Xiao Zheng still standing there, motionless, smiling, and looking utterly unconcerned.
Leng Ruobing was frustrated.
This guy!
It was then that Xiao Zheng chuckled, "Don’t be in such a hurry, let’s see what’s under the dice cup first." With that, he signalled to a staff mber nearby.
Everyone imdiately wore sneers, thinking Xiao Zheng was too stubborn to admit defeat until he hit a wall, choosing to save face but suffer for it.
The staff mber followed instructions and approached, then unveiled the dice cup. Expecting to mock Xiao Zheng after they knew the outco, the onlookers looked over with derisive smiles. But the sight left them utterly stunned.
There were no dots!
Unbelievably, there were no pips! Glancing into the dice cup, the upward-facing surfaces of all six dice were blank, entirely a clean slate.
The crowd incredulously rubbed their eyes, checking several tis over, and finally, they realized it was true; there were no dots.
"What’s going on here? Why aren’t there any dots? That’s so strange."
"Right, I saw it clearly before, there were six dice placed inside, no mistake. How co the upwards-facing surface is blank now?"
"Could this kid have cheated?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could he possibly cheat? With so many of us watching, how could an unknown nobody from the outside cheat? It’s absolutely impossible!"
"Then what’s going on?"
"I don’t know..."
People were discussing fervently, with surprise evident in their eyes.
Leng Ruobing also widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Xiao Zheng as if she were seeing him for the first ti.
And Hillman was completely stunned.
"What in the world is going on?" Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but ask Xiao Zheng.
When the others heard this voice, they too turned their heads to look at Xiao Zheng.
They were all incredibly curious.
The dice that had just been put into the cup were clearly intact, so how could it be that with Xiao Zheng’s gentle shake, the faces turned upward had all beco blank?
"I know."
Xiao Zheng hadn’t even opened his mouth when a voice rose from the crowd. When people turned to the source of the voice in surprise, they discovered it was Hillman speaking.
Hillman didn’t say much, but instead leaned toward the dice in front of Xiao Zheng and gently blew on them.
Suddenly.
The dice trembled slightly, then with a clatter, they turned into a pile of white powder right before everyone’s eyes.
People exclaid.
The dice were made from very precious ivory and were very sturdy, not likely to be damaged even after hundreds of years.
Now, with just a breath from Hillman, the dice had turned into a pile of white powder. Why was this?
Hillman then spoke with a very solemn voice, "If I’m not mistaken, the technique this gentleman just used belongs to the dice world’s extrely divine level. Through the dice cup, one can channel force into the dice, then control them at will."
Hillman paused, his voice sowhat hoarse, "The reason why all the faces turned upward were blank is that the dots on them were all wiped away by that force. To master such a divine technique, even my teacher, the Divine Dragon of gambling, was unable to grasp it. It was only spoken of in legends, and I never expected to witness it firsthand today."
Hiss...
At that mont, everyone drew in a sharp breath.
They all looked at Xiao Zheng in shock.
It was unthinkable that this man of low status, whom they had disdained to even look at directly, possessed such formidable skill!
Those who had been waiting to make fun of Xiao Zheng were now blushing in waves. Damn it, even Hillman himself admitted he was no match for Xiao Zheng, so didn’t their earlier mocking words and disdainful smiles all beco jokes? Initially, they thought soone else was the joke, but it turns out they were the joke themselves.
Leng Ruobing looked at Xiao Zheng with a mix of surprise and delight.
This guy, he really wouldn’t disappoint her!
Thinking back on her doubts about Xiao Zheng just a short while ago, Leng Ruobing also felt waves of sha within her. After all they had been through together, she should have had unshakeable confidence in Xiao Zheng!
anwhile, Xiao Zheng was unfazed by all of this. In his eyes, these were all little bugs, and who would let the joy or anger of little bugs affect their heart?
Impossible.
Had it not been for Leng Ruobing, he wouldn’t have bothered with these people at all.
The difference in their levels was too great.
If Xiao Zheng were a Divine Dragon in the sky, then these people were less than ants on the ground.
After Hillman had finished speaking, he smiled slightly, "I didn’t expect the gentleman to possess such extraordinary gambling skills. May I have the honor to invite the gentleman for another ga?"
