Furthermore, he had guessed that Ling Zhenfei's gambling skills were extraordinary, so in his attitude towards Ling Zhenfei, he didn't dare show the slightest negligence.
"Brother Ling, please go ahead!"
Liang Yida, his mind stirring with curiosity, wanted to witness Ling Zhenfei's gambling abilities and see if they were as powerful as he had imagined, so he offered the dice cup to Ling Zhenfei with feigned humility.
"Hold on a second!"
Ling Zhenfei was in no rush and glanced over the dice cup in front of him with an air of nonchalance: "Since Boss Liang wants to gamble, we still need to clarify the stakes first. How much for a single round? Are we comparing for higher or lower numbers?"
"This..." Liang Yida paused upon hearing this, took a moment to think, then snapped his fingers at his subordinates, signaling them to bring several stacks of cash and pile them on the table.
He then smiled at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Brother Ling, I don't see much point in playing for small stakes. Let's make it interesting with a single round to determine the winner, each of us putting up one hundred thousand yuan, competing for the lowest numbers."
When Ling Zhenfei had just repaid Wu Laosi, Liang Yida had seen clearly from the side, figuring that Ling Zhenfei still had about one hundred thousand yuan in his bag.
The reason he proposed one hundred thousand yuan for a single round to decide the outcome was to pressure Ling Zhenfei's momentum and win all the money in Ling Zhenfei's bag in one go!
"Fine! One hundred thousand yuan a round, a single round to determine the winner! Boss Liang, let's agree on this!"
Ling Zhenfei's gaze was as sharp as ever; just from locking eyes with Liang Yida, he had thoroughly understood the gamble in his heart. Without hesitation, he agreed at once.
"Hahaha... Good, Little Brother Ling, you really are straightforward!"
Ling Zhenfei's swift agreement to this gamble indeed surprised Liang Yida somewhat.
Of course, he knew that one hundred thousand yuan was mere pocket change to him, but to a country lad like Ling Zhenfei, it was undoubtedly a huge sum.
Yet, Ling Zhenfei had agreed so readily... Did this young man have such confidence in his own gambling skills to believe he could guarantee a win against him?
Although Liang Yida's heart was filled with doubts and astonishment, he was, after all, a crafty old hand of Jianghu. His face, imperturbable in the midst of chaos, didn't reveal any signs that inside he was already experiencing tumultuous waves!
In fact, Ling Zhenfei's acceptance of this sudden one hundred thousand yuan bet not only surprised Liang Yida but also had the surrounding gamblers doubting if they were in a dream.
Ling Zhenfei was famously known as a troublemaker far and wide, so naturally, everyone was familiar with his circumstances and knew his family wasn't well-off.
Just today, Ling Zhenfei had suddenly repaid Wu Laosi several hundred thousand yuan, which was shocking enough for everyone.
Now, seeing Ling Zhenfei daring to engage in such a large-stakes bet with Liang Yida, all present were incredibly astounded to an indescribable level!
Even the mightiest gamblers in their town couldn't stand against Liang Yida, and here was Ling Zhenfei, a wet-behind-the-ears high school student, daring to gamble so heavily with him?
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Ling Zhenfei.
An unprecedented gambling match was about to begin; at the spacious table, only Ling Zhenfei and Liang Yida sat facing each other. People had already crowded around and behind both of them.
These gamblers, who lived for gambling and found no joy without it day after day, all craned their necks, eager to verify whether Ling Zhenfei, this calf unafraid of tigers, truly had the strength he claimed!
"Boss Liang, as a distinguished guest from afar, you should go ahead!"
Surrounded by the watchful eyes of the gamblers, Ling Zhenfei maintained an attitude neither servile nor overbearing, smiling as he pushed the dice cup across the table to Liang Yida.
Without looking up, he knew everyone thought he was bound to lose, but that did not affect his mood or the calmness with which he faced everything at all.
"Well, since Little Brother Ling insists, I shall graciously accept your offer!"
"From Ling Zhenfei's calm and extremely confident gaze, Liang Yida saw no impropriety. With no certainty in his heart, he could only put on a grave expression and took over the dice cup to shake it in front of everyone."
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As Liang Yida's hand flipped, the two dice tumbled swiftly inside the cup, creating a series of heart-racing sounds.
In fact, as the sound of the dice rolling began, the hearts of the surrounding gamblers were beating even more intensely than the dice.
Everyone cast their eyes full of anticipation toward Liang Yida, having witnessed his uncanny skill before, they believed he would bring them another surprise this round.
As for the youngster Ling Zhenfei, he was undoubtedly just striking a stone with an egg, overestimating his abilities and not worth paying attention to at all.
Puff!
Liang Yida shook the dice a few times, then slammed the cup down onto the table, his eyes fixed on Ling Zhenfei, his expression brimming with arrogance.
"Little Brother Ling, watch closely, I'm about to reveal!"
Staring at Ling Zhenfei, the corners of Liang Yida's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of disdain, seemingly deliberately displaying his mysterious abilities in front of the crowd as he slowly lifted the dice cup.
Ah!
Without exception, at that moment, dozens of eyes were fixed on his hand.
When the dice cup was lifted, and the point numbers of the two dice inside were revealed, everyone exclaimed in unison.
They were playing for the lowest number, and the smallest possible total with two dice was two, which was common knowledge to everyone.
However, to everyone's surprise, the roll Liang Yida shook out had the two dice stacked perfectly on top of each other, and the visible number on the top dice was shockingly a one!
One point!
How could it be? He had actually rolled a one, even smaller than the smallest number!
For a moment, the novelty of the roll Liang Yida shook up was like a tornado whipped up on a calm lake, leaving everyone gaping in astonishment, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Good heavens, Boss Liang is truly a master of mysterious skill. We've never even seen such a number before, yet he was able to roll it! It's absolutely incredible!"
"Yeah, with such a trick up his sleeve, it's not just in Binyang City, but even in the entire gambling world of Jiangnan Province, you won't find a second person capable of it!"
"Zhao Santuzi, your horizons are too narrow. With Boss Liang's gambling abilities, not only is there no match for him in our Jiangnan Province, but even if you put him in the big casinos of Las Vegas or Macau, he'd still be a top expert!"
"Yes, well said! Little guy from the Ling Family, I think you shouldn't try to act tough by puffing up your face. You should quickly admit defeat to Boss Liang! You've lost already!"
...
After a moment of eerie silence in the gambling den, the gamblers immediately burst into an uproar, discussing among themselves.
And the topic of their conversation was either complimenting Liang Yida or mocking Ling Zhenfei.
"Little Brother Ling, it's your turn to roll now!" Liang Yida seemed to enjoy the adulation of the crowd, pushing the dice cup in front of Ling Zhenfei, his eyes clearly showing a provocative gleam.
Ordinary gamblers rely on nine parts luck and one part skill.
