The beautiful dealer looked at the three copper coins, a hint of surprise in her eyes, but still smiling, “So the young master likes to joke.”
“Is it a joke?” Su Baiyi scratched his head, “If I lose tonight, my senior sister and I will have nothing to eat when we get off the boat.”
“Then I’ll open it.” The dealer picked up the treasure box, and saw that the three dice were four four five, indeed big, “It seems that the young master is lucky.”
Su Baiyi’s eyes were fixed on the treasure box, his gaze burning, “Hurry up and play the next round.”
“Okay.” The dealer smiled sweetly, and swung the treasure box again.
“This kid only bet three copper coins, I bet thirty taels of silver in one round, how come he is the biggest guest on this table? The guest of the heavenly room, is he so precious?” A fat middle-aged man slapped his belly, somewhat dissatisfied.
“The guest of the heavenly room, is not the guest of the Golden Wind anymore, he is the guest of my Mu family, that is naturally precious, not to mention three copper coins, even one copper coin is very precious.” The dealer said as she swung the treasure box.
“Are three copper coins very little?” Su Baiyi asked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was stunned, and laughed scoldingly, “Isn’t this nonsense?”
“But if I throw all the money I win in each round into the next round, even if I start with only three copper coins, as long as I win thirty rounds in a row, then I will be richer than the entire Mu family.” Su Baiyi said faintly.
“The young master really likes to joke.” The dealer slammed the treasure box on the table, “First of all, the Mu family should be much richer than you think, secondly, no one can win thirty rounds in a row on the gambling table, especially on our Golden Wind’s gambling table, even if the gambling god Xuanyuan Wuchang comes, it will be the same.”
“This time I bet small.” Su Baiyi put six copper coins neatly on it.
“Kid, it’s been three big in a row, you should chase big now, you bet small, the whole luck will be messed up.” The fat man said with a bit of contempt.
“If there is luck on the gambling table, then it is the dealer’s luck, isn’t it better to mess it up?” Su Baiyi replied.
“What a fool!” The fat man threw a silver ingot on the table, “I bet big.”
“Then everyone, make your bets!” The dealer picked up the treasure box and saw that the three dice were one one two, which was as small as possible.
“Don’t rely on these things. To win money, two words.” Su Baiyi patted his chest, “Trust yourself!”
“Pah! I don’t believe in bad luck, from this round on, I’ll bet against you, kid!” The middle-aged fat man yanked his bulging money bag from his waist.
“What a waste, if you share half with me, I’ll go back to sleep right away.”
“Scram!”
After six rounds.
The copper coins in front of Su Baiyi turned into a row of silver ingots, the middle-aged fat man angrily threw his empty money bag on the table, turned around and left, but he did have some guts, willing to accept his loss, not even leaving a harsh word behind.
And the dealer who always had a smile on her face and swung the dice with charm was already sweating profusely, her hand holding the treasure box trembling slightly, “I didn’t expect the young master’s gambling skills to be so amazing.”
“What gambling skills are there for betting big or small, just luck.” Su Baiyi silently retrieved a silver ingot from the table and tucked it into his pocket.
“The young master is modest.” The dealer withdrew her hand and took a step back. Then she saw the girl named Nailuo propped her hand on the table, flipped over and jumped to the dealer’s side, picked up the treasure box with her right hand and said loudly, “Next, I’ll do it.”
“Miss Nailuo.” Su Baiyi was stunned.
“Nailuo personally made a move, that’s interesting.” On the second floor of the gambling house, someone in the elegant seat opened the window and looked curiously at the scene below.
“Did he use some trick to win seven rounds in a row, young master?” A woman’s voice asked.
“You can’t cheat with dice, the win or loss is all in the dealer’s hands and their luck, so those real gamblers never come to the casino to play this.” The young master opened his folding fan and waved it lightly. “But there are some families in the Jianghu who are proficient in hidden weapons, very good at listening to the wind and locating positions. The powerful ones can use this skill on gambling, see the points of the dice when they enter the treasure box, then listen carefully to the sound of the dice colliding inside, and finally guess the points accurately.”
“What should we do?” The woman asked.
“That depends on the dealer’s skill. Some dealers can swing the treasure box like a war drum on the battlefield, loud and noisy. Even the experts of Tang Sect can’t guess the final points. And Nailuo is the best dealer on the Golden Wind.” The young master smiled. “If this kid really wins thirty rounds in a row, he may not be richer than the Mu family, but at least the Golden Wind will be his.”
“Young master.” Nailuo slammed the treasure box on the table, “Please place your bets.”
Su Baiyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said slowly, “Nailuo, you are not very old, how come your skill in swinging dice is so amazing? You didn’t grow up in the casino, did you?”
Nailuo smiled, “To tell the truth, Nailuo was born in the casino.”
“Oh?” Su Baiyi took back half of the silver on the table.
Nailuo raised her eyebrows at Su Baiyi’s action, “The young master intends to hold back this time.”
“Better safe than sorry.” Su Baiyi looked around and found that everyone else on the table had withdrawn their chips and did not intend to participate, “And… this time I will win a lot, not just double it.”
Nailuo’s pupils tightened slightly, “The young master means…”
“This is about forty taels of silver, if I win, you have to give me nine hundred and sixty taels.” Su Baiyi pushed the silver in front of him forward, “I bet on a triple.”
* TN: Su Baiyi is betting on a triple, which means he is betting that all three dice will show the same number. This is a very risky bet, because the probability of getting a triple is very low, only 0.46%. However, the payout is also very high.
Nailuo pressed her hand on the treasure box, “The young master has been playing it safe all along, but this round he is taking a gamble.”
“Seek wealth in danger.” Su Baiyi’s eyes stared at the treasure box, squinting tighter and tighter, “Miss Nailuo, you have to be careful when you flip this treasure box, don’t shake my dice over.”
Nailuo’s body trembled slightly, her hand that was about to lift the treasure box stopped, she looked at Su Baiyi, they had spent some time together at night, in her eyes Su Baiyi was nothing but a naive young man, but now facing this gambling table, he seemed to be able to see through everything.
“Don’t be afraid, just open it.” Someone suddenly jumped up from the elegant room on the second floor and landed next to Nailuo. He grabbed Nailuo’s hand and spoke softly.
“It’s you.” Su Baiyi was slightly surprised.
“It’s me.” The man smiled, “Nailuo, open.”
Getting very interesting. Thanks for translation.
