Chapter 6 Playing Dice

Huang Yunlou.

On the surface, it's a teahouse, but secretly it runs a gambling den.

"Oh, Master Kamui is back again?"

As soon as the servant saw Choi Sin-ki, he immediately ran up to greet him.

"Okay, lead the way."

In public, Choi Shin-ki raised his head and reverted to his arrogant spoiled brat self.

"Okay."

Led by the servant, the two passed through the main hall, arrived at the backyard, and then stepped into a room.

The room was filled with smoke, and a large group of people were gathered around a table, constantly yelling "big big big, small small small..."

Wei Shuyu glanced at them and saw that they were all gambling with dice.

The other tables were much quieter. The players were holding cards, which Wei Shuyu observed for a while; they looked similar to modern mahjong.

However, the rules are not as comprehensive as those of mahjong, and the locals call it "leaf game".

"Brother, this isn't exciting enough, let's go play dice."

Seeing Wei Shuyu staring blankly at the leaf play, Cui Shenji urged him on.

"OK."

Wei Shuyu nodded. Playing leaf games is mostly for entertainment, unlike dice games which are fiercely competitive.

However, the table for dice was packed with people, and the two little kids couldn't squeeze in.

"Get out of the way!"

As Choi Sin-ki's domineering aura dissipated, everyone turned their heads away.

"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Cui family? Got some money now? Don't run away after winning a single penny."

Upon seeing Choi Shin-ki, some of the bolder gamblers began to make sarcastic remarks.

People who come to gamble only think about how to win money; they don't care about your identity.

You're at the peak of your career, and you want to steal their thunder? Aren't you just cutting off your own path to wealth?

Of course, if you have enough money to outbid everyone else, they can step aside, since you're betting big.

"Bullshit! Believe me or not, I'll make sure you never leave this house alive!" Choi Shin-ki cursed viciously.

"Young Master Cui, we don't allow fighting here."

Upon seeing this, the person in charge immediately stepped forward.

Choi Shin-ki has a powerful background, and he can't afford to offend him, but he has to stand up for him.

He's just a kid; he has plenty of ways to deal with him.

Turning his head, he shouted at the gamblers, "What kind of status does Young Master Cui have? Do you think you can compare? With just one word from Young Master Cui, Huang Yunlou can immediately give him two thousand strings of cash!"

As soon as the manager spoke, the group of gamblers immediately shut up and made way.

"Young Master Cui, please."

The steward bowed and invited him.

"Um."

Choi Shin-ki stood tall, like a victorious rooster.

He hadn't taken two steps when he suddenly remembered there was a demon behind him, so he quickly imitated the steward's manner, bowing and nodding as he invited, "Big brother, please!"

Huh?

Choi Shin-ki's move immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This is the eldest son of the Cui family of Qinghe. Throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, he fears no one among his peers.

Even if Li Chengqian comes, he only needs to be respectful on the surface.

But the person in front of him made Choi Shin-ki fawn over him to the extreme.

"May I ask who this young master is?"

Wei Shuyu had only taken a few steps when the steward approached him and began to establish a friendly relationship.

"Do we need to ask about the origin of gambling money?" Wei Shuyu said coldly.

"Please, young master."

Seeing that Wei Shuyu was unwilling to say more, the steward immediately made way for him, but he was determined to make Wei Shuyu lose even his underwear later.

"Brother, these dice are for betting on big or small. There are three dice in total. Anything below ten is small, and anything above ten is big. But if you get a triple, you win everything... Don't know what a triple is? A triple is..."

Snap!

Listening to Choi Shin-ki's incessant chatter, Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.

"Just tell me how many times the leopard is worth."

Choi Shin-ki scratched his head, looking aggrieved: "It's only thirty times, so not many people bet on it, and no one would bet on it."

That's incredibly low...

Can I roll the dice?

"no."

Can I place a bet?

What is "betting on points"?

have to……

It's a bit of a hassle, but so be it.

Wei Shuyu casually tossed out a coin and bet on big.

The result was a small one.

Wei Shuyu bet on the small one again.

The result was a small bet, and I won.

The next few rounds were back and forth...

Wei Shuyu had good luck and even made two coins.

“I say, young master Cui, instead of spending this time betting one coin at a time, you should go outside and play in the mud.”

Seeing the two men standing in the latrine without using it, some gamblers finally started to mock them.

"none of your business!"

Choi Shin-ki glared back fiercely.

When he turned to look at Wei Shuyu, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

As the local tyrant of Chang'an, I can't stand being looked down upon like this.

Wei Shuyu ignored him and continued to press the order at his own pace.

Finally, after a few rounds, Wei Shuyu's ears twitched slightly.

"Please place your bet!"

After shaking the dice, the burly 'dealer' signaled to everyone that they could place their bets.

"Bet on the leopard!"

Wei Shuyu bet all six coins in front of him on the leopard.

"What? Can't you stand it anymore?"

The other gamblers finally burst into laughter upon seeing this: "You dare to bet on a leopard? I think you have too much money to burn."

"Shut up!"

At the critical moment, Choi Shin-ki roared angrily once again.

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't cry later."

The gamblers continued to place their bets; whether Choi Shin-ki won or lost was none of their business.

It's better if they lose, it will make room for them.

"Big brother..." After scolding the gambler, Choi Shin-ki looked at Wei Shu-yu expectantly.

"Watch quietly," Wei Shuyu said calmly.

"Place your bet now, open!"

As the burly 'dealer' lifted the dice cup, three dice were revealed inside.

"Three-three-three-nine points, a leopard can be wiped out!"

Damn it!

The gamblers slammed their fists on the table.

The leopard is the most disgusting number because it can kill everyone.

Suddenly, they seemed to remember something...

Wei Shuyu was seen gathering 180 copper coins in front of him.

Holy crap, I actually hit it!

All the gamblers stared wide-eyed.

"I got it! Haha..."

Choi Shin-ki was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.

Looking at the group of dumbfounded gamblers, he retorted mercilessly, "See? This is gambling skill. What do you idiots who can't even afford to lose your underwear know?"

Turning his head, he shouted to Wei Shuyu, "Big brother is awesome! Big brother is mighty!"

"Let's continue..."

Wei Shuyu's mood remained unchanged.

He once went to Las Vegas to carry out missions, but perhaps his gambling skills are nothing compared to modern high technology.

But in ancient times, they were like kings.

Listening to the dice is merely a beginner-level gambling skill.

In the next few rounds, Wei Shuyu started betting one bet at a time.

Everyone who saw it gritted their teeth.

When Huang Yunlou's manager heard that Wei Shuyu had bet on the leopard, he showed no surprise.

It's not unusual for gamblers to win once in a while.

Moreover, Wei Shuyu only won 180 coins, which was nothing to them.

"Please place your bet."

Just as Huang Yunlou's manager was calmly sipping his tea, another gasp erupted from the dice table.

"One hundred and eighty coins, bet on the leopard!"

Wei Shuyu pushed the 180 copper coins in front of him directly out.
