Chapter 503: Chapter 503: This time, win for sure!
The atmosphere in the private room became tense and intense.
Especially for Lin Zicong and Bai Gang, outsiders to this world, the techniques Huang Xiaolong had just displayed were unnaturally impressive.
“This… This is just like a scene out of a Hong Kong gambling movie… just… just like it… Teacher, you are amazing! Just now, I felt like you transformed into a different person…” Lin Zicong murmured in shock.
At this moment, Bai Gang seemed like a deflated balloon. “My cousin actually lost… my cousin who is such an expert, actually lost…”
Now, for those involved in the gambling business, like Ming Hui and others, a sense of grave danger was palpable.
Aside from Ming Hui, who had always held Huang Xiaolong in high regard, everyone else had underestimated him.
The situation had changed drastically. If initially they had considered Huang Xiaolong to be a weak and insignificant ant upon his entrance to the palace, the ant had now metamorphosed into a beastly tiger – a man-eating tiger!
“So… it’s like… his speed index is over 80…” A professional gambler muttered uneasily… “truly an expert.”
By then, Mr. Ma had regained his composure, and sneered. “Being an expert is not limited to having quick vision. Other important factors such as hearing, hand speed, memory, even misdirection among others play a huge role…”
“Mr. Ma, please arrange the second round.” Ming Hui said, his expression stern.
“Brother Hui, don’t be too nervous. There are four levels and the kid has only crossed the first. We always have the upper hand.” Mr. Ma pondered for a moment. “Since his strength lies in his visualization speed, then – Abao, you go for round two!”
A young woman in a black dress stood up from the couch.
She was tall and slim with a lovely face, especially her delicate hands with long fingers. Her hands were even more beautiful than a professional hand model’s with their graceful lines.
“Abao, your strength lies in your hand speed. In round two, you shake the dice cup. Let him hear the number of dice.” Mr. Ma strategized.
“Mr. Ma, I understand.” The young woman called “Abao” nodded steadily, then clenched her fists, making a series of cracking sounds.
A picture suddenly appeared on the LCD screen on the wall. This picture showed a close-up of “Abao,” along with a series of data—
“Su Baobao
World Ranking: 47
Nickname: Tide Hand
Gender: Female
Hand Speed: 93
Eye Speed: 41
Hearing: 42
Memory: 15
Comprehensive rating: 47.75
Record (Including certified matches): 785 battles, 599 wins, 186 losses.”
“Abao, your hand speed is legendary in the gambling world, and you are known as the Tide Hand. When shaking the dice cup, you create a noise similar to the tide, making it impossible to discern the number of dice. Even I cannot match your skill. I also don’t stand a chance to guess the number of dice you shake. You are one of our company’s aces! You cannot fail! Go!” Mr. Ma said with a relaxed laugh.
Yes, Abao was one of Ji Group’s ultimate weapons.
She was gifted with a hand speed of 93. The number of dice she shook could only be accurately heard by a master who has a hearing score of 93 or above.
Mr. Ma’s hearing ability was exceptional, earning him the nickname of “Cattrick.” It represented his extraordinary visual and hearing abilities.
Even so, his hearing index was only at 72, far from being able to discern the number of dice shaken by Abao when she gives it her all.
If it were not for Abao’s weak performance in other areas aside from hand speed, her world ranking would definitely be higher!
Abao quickly left the control room and entered the second private room.
“Hahaha… Brother Hui, ease your mind.” Mr. Ma pulled out a cigar, lit it, and took a pleasurable puff enjoying the pure earthy aroma. “If that kid can even hear the number of dice that Abao shook, wouldn’t that mean his hearing ability surpasses mine? Do you think it’s possible?”
“Of course not!”
“That guy might have good vision speed, but he is weak in other aspects. Sister Bao will definitely take care of him!”
“It’s impossible his hearing surpasses Mr. Ma’s.”
…
The control room was immediately filled with flattering voices.
Ming Hui maintained his stern expression, not daring to let down his guard.
…
Huang Xiaolong stepped out of the first private room.
“Mr. Huang, please… please follow me.” The pretty girl standing outside showed a somewhat rigid expression as she led Huang Xiaolong to the second private room. She lightly knocked on the door, pushed it open, and leaned to the side. “Please come in, Mr. Huang.”
In the private room––––
Abao, a charming young woman in a long black dress, stood behind a gambling table.
There were hundreds of dice and more than a dozen brand-new dice cups placed on the table.
“Congratulations Mr. Huang for passing the first stage.” Abao smiled at Huang Xiaolong. “However, this is where it ends.”
“Huh? What do you mean by ‘this is where it ends’?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a laugh.
“What I mean is that you can stop at the second stage, Mr. Huang.” There was a hint of jest in the lady Abao’s radiant eyes. “In the second stage, I will shake the dice cups and Mr. Huang, you will guess the totals. Just a reminder for Mr. Huang, my nickname is ‘Tidal Hand’. Throughout my life, I have never lost a game where I was the one shaking the dice.”
“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.
“Mm. In the whole gambling world, there are no more than three people who can guess the points in my dice cups by hearing.” The confidence in Abao’s eyes was about to explode!
Such an overwhelming confidence!
Simply talking about guessing points by shaking dice, Abao is virtually invincible in this field.
“Puff~~~ you people in the casino, each one of you can blow harder than the next. Alright, let’s start.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“Would Mr. Huang like to inspect the dice and dice cups?” Abao asked.
“There’s no need.” Huang Xiaolong replied cheerfully.
“OK.” Abao picked up a pair of white gloves from the table, carefully put them on, then placed six dice into one of the dice cups.
She slowly lifted the dice cup, and her right hand started to shake it, gradually picking up speed.
The sound of dice colliding with the dice cups, the sound of dice colliding with dice…it was crisp, pleasant, like rain hitting banana leaves.
Gradually, Abao’s right hand was almost a blur!
The noise emanating from the dice cup sounded like the tide!
The sound of the tide, like the poetry of the sea, filled with philosophical insight and enlightenment.
The situation, like a spring breeze lightly strumming a guitar string, like late blossoms drifting over gentle waves.
The sound of the rising and falling tides in the dice cup, the rhythmic sounds seemingly striking the beach, were like a lullaby a mother would sing to put her baby to sleep.
…
In the control room–
“Tidal Hand! Sister Bao is using her killer move! This is Sister Bao’s ultimate technique! The Tidal Hand dominates the world’s gambling scene!”
Many gambling experts sitting on the sofa were getting up.
“This time, it’s definitely a win!” Mr. Ma declared confidently.
…
In the private room–
A few minutes later–
Bang!!!!!
Young lady Abao slammed the dice cup onto the gambling table.
“Your turn to guess!”
At this moment, in Abao’s almond eyes, radiated an unmatched confidence—a confidence that could destroy everything!
