Chapter 505: Chapter 505: The Goddess is in Danger! (Fifth Update)
Under Mr. Ma’s command, the gambling experts in the private room hesitated.
To be honest, gambling was a straightforward game of win or lose, but using such tricks would make victory seem hollow, even if Huang Xiaolong agreed and won.
Of course, once the Ten Demons come knocking formation is set up, Huang Xiaolong would have no chance of winning.
According to rumours, the gambling devil, Mo Shaofeng, trained his hearing by having eight quick-handed gambling experts surround him and shake their dice cups together. In the end, Mo Shaofeng was able to accurately call out the number points in each dice cup.
However, adding one more person to make it nine shaking dice, Mo Shaofeng was helpless.
Now, if Huang Xiaolong were to face a Ten Demons come knocking formation, he’d probably collapse on the spot. No matter how brilliant Huang Xiaolong was, could he surpass the gambling devil Mo Shaofeng?
“It concerns the company’s reputation, so don’t dwell on it too much. We need to unite and resist the strong enemy. That’s the proper way,” Mr. Ma actually said convincingly.
Ming Hui has already lost control of the situation and simply sat aside with a changeable expression on his face.
Finally, the ten fastest gamblers in the private room all stepped forward.
“Alright, our main goal is to defeat Huang Xiaolong.” Mr. Ma squinted his eyes, a hint of jealousy and murderous intent barely detectable within.
‘Kid, your hearing and speed of sight have stepped into the realm of real experts, and Brother Hui is attracting you! If you join the company, you will become the new pillar. So… what about me? Humph! I won’t keep you! In this match, I will defeat you, chop off your hands and disable you!’
Mr. Ma indeed had a strong jealousy towards Huang Xiaolong, wanting to waste him as soon as possible!
…
Huang Xiaolong sat on the sofa in the main hall, smoking a little boredly.
Finally, the pretty girl walked towards him, “Mr. Huang, please follow me.”
“Oh… finally decided? I wonder if this time it’s a fox demon or a cat demon… Hahahahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed wildly, then followed the pretty girl to the door of the third private room.
Pushing open the door, “Mr. Huang, please come in.”
Huang Xiaolong froze as he walked into the room. Damn, there were ten people standing in the private room!
The large gambling table was filled with dice and dice cups.
“What’s the meaning of this?” asked Huang Xiaolong, baffled.
A middle-aged man with a crew cut replied in some embarrassment, “Mr… Mr. Huang, the third round… it’s Ten Demons come knocking. Simply put, it’s the ten of us shaking dice together, and then… then you guess.”
After speaking, the ten gambling experts in the private room all lowered their heads in shame.
“Hahaha~~~ how despicable!” Huang Xiaolong looked up and shouted at the camera in the room.
Pausing briefly, Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly, “Alright. Since you want to play like this, I’ll accompany you till the end.”
“What? Mr. Huang, you… you agreed?” The middle-aged man with the crew cut was somewhat incredulous, unable to believe that Huang Xiaolong would agree to such a blatantly unfair gambling situation!
“Yes, I agreed.” Huang Xiaolong urged, “This is the third round in the four-round challenge. After this, there’s only the last round left. I can’t wait! Hurry up! Let’s get started!”
…
In the operation room.
“Hmph! If you can get past this round, I’ll eat shit in front of you!” Mr. Ma cursed vulgarly, “Idiot!”
“Damn it, watch your words! Your mouth is full of shit!” Lin Zicong stood up and roared in anger.
“Alright, let’s not fight, let’s get started,” said Ming Hui, his eyes glued to the LCD screen.
…
In the private room.
Ten of the quickest-handed gambling experts surrounded Huang Xiaolong, each shaking a dice cup in their hands.
Swish swish swish~~~
Crackling~~
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
…
The dense sound of dice colliding filled the whole private room.
The noise was too chaotic, with no discernible pattern.
Not only was it erratic, but it also felt like a chaotic dance of demons. A slightly concentrated listen would speed up one’s heartbeat and make their head feel like a tangled mess.
This was already a hellish level of difficulty.
It’s like playing blind chess, one person against ten opponents. But this was far more challenging than playing blind chess. After all, in blind chess, there’s an order of turns, while Ten Demons come knocking involved listening to the points of the dice in ten cups simultaneously.
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes slightly closed, and his ears began to tremble rhythmically.
At this moment, all the noises in the world disappeared, leaving only the sound of dice colliding in the ten dice cups.
…
In the operation room, everyone’s ears felt uncomfortable hearing the noise of the dice shaking in the private room, their heads buzzing.
Even Mr. Ma kept shaking his head.
…
In the private room.
Finally!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom~~~!!!!!!
Huang Xiaolong’s ten opponents neatly placed their dice cups on the gambling table.
“Mr. Huang, please,” said the middle-aged man with the crew cut.
“Mmm, in the first dice cup, three dice, 235, total of 10 points,” Huang Xiaolong pointed out.
A gambling expert carefully lifted the dice cup.
The dice inside demonstrated, clearly, a 2, 3, 5!
“Hiss~~!!” The gambling master looked at Huang Xiaolong with an eyes-wide, shocked, and horror-stricken expression.
…
Inside the server room. It was silent as a spider.
“Impossible… it can’t be completely correct! Absolutely not! He’ll make a mistake…it can’t all be right…In this world, no one can break the ‘Ten Ghosts Knocking on the Door’ strategy!” Mr. Ma was becoming hysterical.
…
Inside the box.
“In the second dice cup, 666, three of a kind.” Huang Xiaolong declared confidently.
Open it!
666!
“In the third dice cup, 113, equals 5 points.” Huang Xiaolong lit up a cigarette.
Open it!
113!
…
All are correct!
The numbers from the ten dice in the ‘Ten Ghosts Knocking on the Door’ strategy were accurately predicted by Huang Xiaolong, with not a single error! They were all right!
The ten gambling masters nearly knelt to Huang Xiaolong on stage.
Is this guy still human?
The legendary unbreakable ‘Ten Ghosts Knocking on the Door’ strategy was cracked by Huang Xiaolong!
If this news gets out, it would be enough to cause a terrifying earthquake in the gambling world! Even the gambling evil spirit Mo Shaofeng would be alarmed!
…
Inside the server room.
Bang!!
Mr. Ma collapsed onto the sofa, clutching his hair tightly. His eyes showed alternating flashes of fear, horror, jealousy, murderous intent, and cunning…
“Gambling god…This…This…Mr. Huang…he, he…he is the new generation of God of Gamblers…” Ming Hui was trembling all over, out of either excitement or fear.
“Brother Hui, what do we do now?” A gambling expert with a twisted face and pale expression asked.
Ming Hui took off his glasses and massaged his temples before slowly lifting his head, “Release Miss Su Xiaoman and Mr. Su Xiaoqiang. Remember, escort them home personally and make sure they both are safe. Also, write a check of 10 million RMB in cash for both Miss Su Xiaoman and Mr. Su Xiaoqiang and gift them each with a supreme gold card for Binhai’s Paradise Palace. If they ever come back, all of their expenses will be waived.”
“The final round, put on hold for now…I must report this to the young lady. Let’s see how she decides…Let’s end it here for tonight.” As he said this, Ming Hui glanced at Mr. Ma with a look full of irony and contempt.
…
Huang Xiaolong and Lin Zicong swaggered out of the main entrance of Paradise Palace.
Ming Hui bowed and smiled on the side. “Mr. Huang, you truly are the God of Gamblers of this era…we…we were disrespectful. Let’s halt the fourth round for now. Rest assured, Miss Su Xiaoman and Mr. Su Xiaoqiang are safe at home. Also, we have offered some compensation for…for…mental damage.”
With a smirk, Ming Hui continued.
Miss Su Xiaoman and Master Su Xiaoqiang have enjoyed the best of food, drink, and accommodations at Paradise Palace for the past few days, and in addition to all the luxury, they were also compensated for mental damage upon returning home…
Where’s the justice in that!
“Well, then I’ll go home now.” Huang Xiaolong said cheerfully. “Honestly, your so-called gambling masters are way too weak. They can’t take a hit. I even thought that Foxy was going to step in.”
“Ahem…Mr. Huang, it’s just that you’re too formidable.” Ming Hui responded with a bitter smile.
Suddenly, Ming Hui leaned into Huang Xiaolong’s ear and whispered. “Mr. Huang, young lady has sworn that whoever defeats the gambling evil spirit Mo Shaofeng for her, and if he’s victorious, she…she’s willing to…marry him…”
“Pfff~~ You’re trying to provoke me, aren’t you? Honestly, I’m not interested in gambling. If it weren’t for Sister Xiaoman being in your hands today, I wouldn’t have come here to gamble. I despise gambling. And besides, I don’t have any interest in your lady, unless she turns out to be a beauty.” Huang Xiaolong said, a smile playing on his lips.
These words nearly choked Ming Hui.
You despise gambling?
Your gambling skills are godlike, and you despise gambling? Are you just trying to show off?
“Mr. Huang, my young lady, she is a national beauty.” Ming Hui hastily said.
“Alright, I’m going home.” Huang Xiaolong quickened his pace, striding forward.
Lin Zicong hurriedly followed. “Master, you really showed them today. I never thought your gambling skills would be so heavenly.”
Huang Xiaolong didn’t have a chance to respond.
Suddenly, a Bentley came head-on. Since it was about to enter the parking lot, the car wasn’t moving fast.
This Bentley was the same one Huang Xiaolong saw that day on the ancient street where a martial arts grandmaster was queuing up to buy pancakes for a goddess.
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, thinking, “Poor goddess, I even bought you pancakes.”
But as the Bentley moved past him, a strange sound struck Huang Xiaolong’s ears.
Tic-toc~~Tic-toc~Tic-toc~
The sound, similar to a second hand of a clock ticking, was getting faster and faster!
The sound seemed to come from that Bentley.
Huang Xiaolong’s heart skipped a beat, “Huh…looks like that goddess…is in danger…”
Driven by instinct, Huang Xiaolong immediately rushed towards the Bentley!
