Chapter 541: Are You Trying to Give Me Money for Free?
Yan Jingfan began shaking the dice swiftly and placed it on the table.
He said, “Place your bet.”
Xu Cheng said to the staff, “Please help me count out 2 billion.”
Young Master Lee and Yan Jingfan directly raised their hands in the air. “Wait up!”
Seeing how confident Xu Cheng was, they felt something was definitely fishy.
Everyone at the scene was a bit confused.
Yan Jingfan said to Xu Cheng, “We want to pause the game to check the whole situation.”
“How do you want to check?”
“Please have the staff check this man to see if there’s any high-tech equipment in his eyes or ears.”
The staff looked towards Xu Cheng.
In order to make more money, Xu Cheng could only tolerate it and nodded at them. “Go ahead.”
The staff directly walked over and said, “Then, Mr. Xu, please apply this eye drop. We will be scanning your retina.”
Xu Cheng nodded and said, “Sure.”
The drops went into his eyes and were scanned, and everything showed up normal.
Then, the staff checked Xu Cheng’s ears to see if there were any communication pieces that pointed to him conspiring with someone else and could potentially help him cheat.
But nothing was there too.
After checking, Yan Jingfan and Young Master Lee shared a look. Then, Yan Jingfan requested the dice roller to be checked, and then the entire table, to see if there was anything that could help Xu Cheng cheat.
The staff was speechless. “Fine, we can check everything for you if that makes you feel more at ease.”
“No more, we want to change to another table.” Yan Jingfan casually looked around, picked a random vacant table, and said, “That one, we will go and play there.”
It was understandable. After all, they were losing a lot of money. After Xu Cheng and the others moved to that table, Yan Jingfan felt that Xu Cheng must have lost the ability to cheat.
He shook the dice, put the roller heavily onto the table, and asked, “Make your bet.”
“You sure it’s okay this time? Are you sure you won’t try to blame something else when you lose?”
“I’m someone with principles!” Yan Jingfan said, “Make your bet.”
Xu Cheng gestured to the staff. “Count 3 billion in chips for me.”
Young Master Lee and Yan Jingfan’s heart began pounding even harder. Everyone was shocked that Xu Cheng dared to put on such a big bet in a game that was pretty much guessing. 3 billion for something he had less than a 50% chance of winning in?
Wait, it seemed like he never put down a bet below a billion.
Haber stood next to him and made a cross sign. “Oh my lord, those are American dollars! Are you not scared of losing?”
“You win some, you lose some, what’s there to be afraid of? If I lose, then next round I will bet 6 billion to win it all back,” Xu Cheng said.
“Are you really not afraid of losing?” Yan Jingfan said in disdain, “With a probability of winning less than 50%, it’s even possible for you to lose 8 rounds in a row. If you put down 6 billion on the next round, then you would lose all of your money after just 3 rounds. Do you realize that?”
“So much talk. This money was indeed borrowed from someone else, so my heart doesn’t ache for it at all. 3 billion, small again!”
Yan Jingfan didn’t lift up the dice roller, but Young Master Lee was already getting impatient and immediately lifted up the roller.
3+3=6, small!
Poof!
Young Master Lee felt his heart being stabbed, and he shouted, “Why the fack are you two playing dice? Play something else!”
Xu Cheng laughed and said, “Just pay up first. 3 billion, sorry.”
The staff went over to Young Master Lee’s side, counted out 3 billion in chips, and moved them over to Xu Cheng’s table. It was clear that Young Master Lee’s heart was dripping blood!
That money... if he didn’t win it back, he would be evicted by his family!
“Wait, you haven’t gone your turn yet. Here, roll one,” at this time, Yan Jingfan said to Xu Cheng.
Young Master Lee leaned over and asked him in a low voice, “How sure are you to be able to win some money back?”
“70%!” Yan Jingfan said, “Maybe it was too noisy earlier with so many people and my hearing got interfered with. I will try again.”
Young Master Lee had no other option but to trust him.
Xu Cheng picked up the roller and began shaking it, and his hand speed was even faster than before. Not to mention Yan Jingfan’s hearing, he couldn’t even see the movement of Xu Cheng’s hands clearly with his eyes.
His pupils contracted.
“Fu-”
Bam!
Xu Cheng slammed down the roller and gestured at it. “Call your bet.”
“We have 6 billion and have lost 4 billion already. My idea is, if you have the confidence, we can bet 3 billion to win back the amount we lost last round.”
“I...” Yan Jingfan’s head was covered in sweat. “I’m not so sure anymore...”
“What?” Young Master Lee thought he heard wrong. “What the fack are you doing? Then how much do we bet this time?”
“5... 5 million should be good...” Yan Jingfan even felt embarrassed to say it.
“What the fack? And you call yourself a national-level gambling pro?” Young Master Lee was about to bleed from all holes. He stared at Yan Jingfan and said to Xu Cheng, “Whatever, we won’t bet this round. Let’s play something else. This doesn’t take skill at all!”
Yan Jingfan immediately echoed, “This indeed doesn’t take skill, only relying on luck. It’s not fun.”
Xu Cheng laughed. “Then I guess your country’s national-level pro is nothing more than just a clown. You are indeed someone that could only be recognized in a small country and can’t get onto the world stage at all. It’s a bit disappointing to me.”
“Watch your mouth, our battle is not over yet!” Yan Jingfan scolded.
Xu Cheng just smiled in response. “I remember you said that you have a hundred ways to humiliate me. What else do you got? We agreed earlier to compete in hearing skills and now you said it’s too dependent on luck. Fine, I will just pretend that there’s too much crap in your ears, so it’s understandable you can’t hear well. But next, let’s play a game based on the skill that’s most important to you professional gamblers – your memory. How’s that?”
Yan Jingfan’s eyes lit up. “How do you want to play?”
Xu Cheng said, “We will let the dealer shuffle the deck. I remember the world record for memorization was a person who managed to use only 30 seconds to remember a deck of cards before shuffling it and then reorganizing the cards back its original order. How about this, we are only allowed 20 seconds to see a completely shuffled deck, and after 20 seconds, we will get the dealer to flip over the cards. Then, the two of us will organize a new deck of cards into the order we memorized. For every card we get right, the opponent has to give up a hundred million!”
Yan Jingfan’s eyes lit up again.
Not to mention him, even Young Master Lee’s eyes lit up!
This was basically a risk-free gamble!
It was like an amateur trying to show off his cooking skills in front of Gordan Ramsay!
For any famous professional gamblers in the world, they must have a superb memory, and it was such an important basic skill that could confidently give them an edge against their opponents when gambling.
