That's not just a random shake; it's the essence of simplicity, the greatest sound is silent, the greatest achievement is invisible, it's absolute awesomeness.
Ah Si was sweating profusely; his palms and forehead were covered in sweat, and some of it even dripped onto the table. Since any impurities on the glass would affect the speed of the dice roll, he had to step in and diligently wipe the table.
Now, the game has turned into a siege. He wiped and wiped until he got it to his ideal state. He picked up the dice cup, took a deep breath, and swiped the dice a few times under the watchful eyes of more and more people. He revealed the secret and finally smiled.
Chen Rou rolled five ones, and so did he; it was a tie.
But of course, this is when Chen Jinbao should step in and smooth things over.
He would persuade Chen Rou to give up, and he would also persuade Master Dong to go home. As for the gambling, he would try to get away with it in a muddled way.
Since it's a draw anyway, we can just let it go. Mrs. Nie is amazing; she scared him.
Hu Xiaotian also told him in the earpiece to quickly smooth things over, as they couldn't afford to offend Nie Tai.
But they thought that if everyone rolled the same number, then the game was over.
But for Chen Rou, the matter wasn't over yet. Just as Chen Jinbao was about to step forward, she said, "Wait."
He then raised the dice cup again and deliberately said loudly, "I heard that the manager of your casino, Hall Master Hu Xiaotian, was originally a member of our Kowloon Society. But today, when I invited the two founders to play, he not only refused to receive us, but also bullied us to our heart's content."
She shoveled the dice into the dice cup and said, "It was Hu Xiaotian himself who said to bet on legs, right?"
After saying that, he slammed the dice cup onto the table with a thud, then pulled it straight up, and with an extremely difficult, straight-up-and-down motion, slammed it three times in the air, and then crashed it to the ground with a bang, shattering the glass.
Because she was the wife of Hong Kong's richest man, the allure of her status drew all the casino clerks and dealers to the hotel lobby. It was a sea of heads, yet eerily quiet.
After putting down the dice cup, Chen Rou looked around and smiled again, saying, "Gambling matters, gambling matters, if one game isn't enough, then two, if two aren't enough, then three, until a winner is decided. I don't run a casino, but I understand this principle."
She's right, but the gangsters, Uncle Dong, Uncle Er, and the audience all have one question: how can Chen Rou beat Ah Si when he also rolls a flush and gets a set of four dice?
The dice cup is already on the table, and the answer is right there, it just hasn't been revealed yet.
It was clear from her movements that they were quite difficult, because the dice could tumble in mid-air by using the impact force generated when they collided with the dice tube, as well as the inertia when they were thrown up.
But if it goes straight up and down, inertia disappears, and gravity takes effect, it should fall downwards.
The reason it didn't fall was because Chen Rou's technique was too fast, so fast that it exceeded the speed of free fall.
So, what numbers did she roll? Could they be better than five ones, or a straight flush?
Everyone was anxious. A-Yuan turned around in a hurry, took out another bottle of Coke, and held it up, saying, "Xun's mom."
He suspected that his mother wasn't revealing the dice because she hadn't drunk any cola and was too weak, so he wanted to give her more strength.
Secretary An, meanwhile, joined in the cheering, clapping and saying, "Go, Mrs. Nie! Go, Mrs. Nie!"
But I must say, he was very charismatic, and many people joined in shouting, "Go, Mrs. Nie! Go, Mrs. Nie!"
Just then, Chen Rou gestured for the audience to be quiet and continued, "Even if these two gentlemen aren't triad bosses, they are still elderly. In our country, respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a traditional virtue. Hu Xiaotian can't even do that, so what makes him worthy of being the top dog in Macau's underworld, the leader of hundreds of thousands of henchmen?"
Ah Si and Chen Jinbao, the henchmen dared not utter a word, but a group of Kowloon gangsters said: "He has neither virtue nor righteousness!"
Chen Rou continued, "If he can't even accept the consequences of his bets, how can he gain the trust of gamblers, and how can the casino's reputation be guaranteed?"
A group of gangsters chimed in: "A boss should prioritize loyalty and integrity. Has Hu Xiaotian lived up to that?"
Secretary An continued to stir up trouble: "Mrs. Nie is right!"
The entire audience erupted in thunderous applause, shouting in unison, "Mrs. Nie is right!"
Of course, in the end, the mystery must be revealed to subdue a group of gangsters. After all, this is the underworld. No matter how eloquent your reasoning is, it's useless. Skill is the key, and only skill can convince people.
So, amidst applause, Chen Rou unveiled the dice container, revealing the answer.
The moment Ah Si saw it, he was so frightened that he staggered backward, missed a step, and fell to the ground.
It's no exaggeration to say that Chen Jinbao was so scared that he almost wet his pants for a moment.
Because he is now seriously ill and on his deathbed, Ye Han, who is recuperating at home in Hong Kong, has a unique skill in dice game that even Hu Xiaotian has not mastered. It has a special name: Yidianhong (meaning "One Point Red").
The term "one red" refers to five dice that add up to only one point.
Specifically, all five dice are stacked neatly one by one.
According to the pattern, one side is all fives, another side is all fours, and the third side is all threes. The top side, the first side, is all ones. The five dice are like people lined up, neat and orderly, with only one dot.
The ultimate martial arts technique, the secret of Ye Han, the only gambling saint in Macau's history, a rare and unparalleled method, is called "One Point Red".
Leaving aside Ah Si, looking across the entire Macau, no one has been able to do it since Ye Han.
But Nie Tai actually did it, and in one go.
How did she do that? Could it be that she is Ye Han's last disciple? Otherwise, how could she have learned it?
Besides, how can we even compete? It's not that Ah Si doesn't want to, it's that he can't do it. He has to run away and save his life.
As for Hu Xiaotian's leg, let Master Dong chop it off if he wants; he doesn't care anymore.
