Chapter 50

Next up was Ling Feng.

He picked up the dice cup, covering the three dice, paused for two or three seconds, and then began to shake it.

The dice "clattered" inside the dice cup.

Although Ling Feng didn't show it on his face, Bai Xuechao knew that Ling Feng had been affected. He had already begun to doubt whether he could truly hear which side the dice had landed on.

It wasn't just Ling Feng; Zhou Chenhao had probably been affected as well.

Gong Ting's move just now could be described as killing two birds with one stone. He had cheated to change the number of the dice and also struck a blow to Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng's confidence. Especially Ling Feng, who had already lost so many game coins that he had very few left. After finally hearing the side of the dice for the first time, what he needed most was "affirmation," but Gong Ting had given him "negation."

It was like solving a math problem, thinking the answer was correct, only to have someone show you the "correct answer" and tell you that your answer was wrong.

However, as long as they could accurately hear the dice in this round, they could regain their confidence.

The pressure in this round was mainly on Zhou Chenhao, whether he could withstand the doubt in himself and choose the correct answer.

Ling Feng quickly stopped.

Bai Xuechao and Gong Ting made their choices almost at the same time, leaving only Zhou Chenhao.

Zhou Chenhao's brows furrowed slightly as he stared at the options on the small screen, time passing by second by second.

He had heard which side the dice in Ling Feng's dice cup were on, but he wasn't sure if he had heard correctly. After all, his current record for hearing the dice was one correct and one incorrect. Maybe the correct one was just a stroke of luck? But he had really heard it, and could even imagine the dice bumping and rolling against each other inside the dice cup. He couldn't figure out why he had been wrong just now.

The longer Zhou Chenhao paused, the more pleased Gong Ting's smile became. If Zhou Chenhao couldn't withstand the doubt in himself and chose the wrong answer, that would be great.

The small screen began to display a ten-second countdown, and Zhou Chenhao made his choice with a determined gaze.

Seeing the three choices displayed on the small screen next to him, Ling Feng actually let out a light breath and revealed a faint smile.

Bai Xuechao guessed that the three of them had chosen the same. If they were wrong, they would be wrong together; if they were right, they would be right together. Either way, either Ling Feng or Zhou Chenhao would benefit, so Ling Feng relaxed.

Gong Ting's smile froze slightly when he saw Ling Feng's reaction.

Ling Feng lifted the dice cup, the faint smile on his lips not yet faded. He said slowly, "Two, three, four, small."

Although he had lost this round, in another sense, he and Zhou Chenhao had both won. He could be sure that he could hear the side of the dice correctly, so the last round... he almost immediately thought of something and shifted his gaze to Gong Ting.

Gong Ting met his azure, sea-like eyes, his expression calm and composed.

The sound of gold coins rang out, and the large screen updated the number of game coins.

As 20 million game coins could not be divided equally, Zhou Chenhao, as the last player to make a choice, received one less game coin.

【City Lord: 573,333,334】

【Player A: 6,666,666】

【Player B: 146,666,666】

【Player C: 773,333,334】

Xiao 6 let out a long sigh of relief and clapped its hands, "Great, you guessed right this time! Go for it, Host!"

It had actually thought all along that Bai Xuechao was choosing his answers based on luck.

"Guess?" Bai Xuechao said, "I didn't guess, I heard it."

Hearing this, Xiao 6 was stunned for a moment and asked blankly, "Heard it? You can even hear that? But Host, you chose wrong last round, did you hear it wrong?"

Bai Xuechao said faintly, "Because Gong Ting cheated."

At the same time, Zhou Chenhao also looked at Gong Ting with his brown eyes and said with certainty, "You cheated last round, didn't you."

"Hmm—? Do you have any proof?" Gong Ting smiled without any tension. "Unless you can catch me cheating on the spot, I won't be punished by the rules. Instead of questioning whether I cheated or not, why don't you think about what to do with your little friend? He doesn't have enough game coins for one round."

Xiao 6 cursed, "Gong Ting is really tearing off his left cheek to stick it on his right, two-faced on one side and shameless on the other! He's so righteous even after cheating in a game!"

It firmly believed what Bai Xuechao said. If Bai Xuechao said Gong Ting cheated, then Gong Ting must have cheated.

Bai Xuechao caught a piece of information from Gong Ting's words: if caught cheating on the spot, there would be a penalty.

He interjected into their conversation and asked, "What's the penalty?"

"You're talking about cheating?" Gong Ting saw Bai Xuechao nod and replied, "If a cheater is caught on the spot by other players, the cheater will be deducted double the game coins of the current round as a penalty, which will be distributed to all other players present."

His expression was completely relaxed as he spoke. It seemed that he was very confident in his cheating skills and didn't believe that anyone present could catch him on the spot.

Bai Xuechao just smiled and said, "Then you'd better be careful."

Gong Ting remained motionless, completely unaffected by Bai Xuechao's words, and also smiled, "I don't cheat, so there's nothing to be careful about."

On the other side, Zhou Chenhao looked at Ling Feng. He didn't ask what to do, only, "Are we still continuing?"

"Of course—" Ling Feng curled his lips into a smile, adding a touch of madness to his handsome face. He said in a deep voice, "Continue."

Even if he chose to end the game at this time, he didn't have enough game coins to redeem the special ability he had exchanged. Besides, Xia Xiaoxi hadn't been rescued yet. He wouldn't let Zhou Chenhao face Gong Ting and Bai Xuechao alone.

So-called teammates, aren't they supposed to support each other?

Perhaps influenced by his emotions, the scent of jasmine milk tea on Ling Feng's body became a little stronger, and a faint fragrance spread through the air.

Gong Ting clapped his hands twice, his smile a little fake, and said slowly, "What a moving scene."

Xiao 6 was still indignantly cursing Gong Ting's cheating behavior, and finally said, "Host, you must catch him cheating! This kind of cheating dog deserves to be punished, punish him to death!"

"Actually," Bai Xuechao said, "I can cheat too."

Xiao 6 "ga-ed," fell silent for two seconds, and immediately changed its tune, "Oh, cheating is also a kind of strength. The host must be even better at cheating than Gong Ting. The host is the best!"

Bai Xuechao: "..."

As expected of you, Xiao 6, you change your tune so quickly.

The waiter in the tuxedo appeared again at the side, smiling and asking, "What would you like to use for the exchange?"

"What's the most valuable thing on me..." Ling Feng tilted his head up and murmured. His azure eyes reflected the magnificent crystal chandelier on the ceiling. He thought of something, turned to the waiter and said, "Just use my eyes and hands."

He was the grandson of an old general and had been learning marksmanship since he was a child. He was very talented and had achieved a hundred percent accuracy so far.

If he had to say what was the most valuable thing on him, it would be his aiming eyes and his gun-wielding hands.

The waiter extended a hand to Ling Feng, "Please place your hand on mine."

"Think carefully," Gong Ting suddenly said, not like a reminder, but more like a threat, trying to increase Ling Feng's psychological pressure. "If you lose, the moment you walk out of this room, you'll become blind and lose both your hands."

Ling Feng ignored him and firmly placed his hand on the waiter's.

The waiter said, "Hello, your eyes and hands are worth 80 million game coins. Would you like to exchange them?"

His special ability was worth 200 million, and his eyes and hands were worth nearly half of his special ability, which showed how excellent his marksmanship was.

Ling Feng didn't hesitate, "Exchange."

The clattering sound of gold coins falling echoed continuously in the room.

"Exchange successful," the waiter nodded slightly and disappeared.

The large screen updated their game coin amounts.

【City Lord: 573,333,334】

【Player A: 86,666,666】

【Player B: 146,666,666】

【Player C: 773,333,334】

The game continued.

Bai Xuechao picked up the dice cup and collected the dice in a dazzling manner, shaking them rapidly.

In this round, he wanted everyone to lose.

The dice cup was slammed onto the table, and the dice fell with a sound.

"Guess," Bai Xuechao let go of his hand, a calm and composed expression on his pale face.

At this time, opposite him, Gong Ting's face was not looking good. His green eyes stared at Bai Xuechao for a long time, and then a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Very good, it hasn't been this interesting in a long time."

On his left and right, Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng had solemn expressions. If they had heard correctly—

In this round, no matter what they chose, they would lose.

All three of them made their choices casually.

Bai Xuechao lifted the dice cup, a faint smile on his face, "You let me win."

The dice on the table were three sixes.

If the three dice had the same number, the dealer would win, and the three players would each lose 20 million game coins to the dealer.

The large screen updated the display.

【City Lord: 553,333,334】

【Player A: 66,666,666】

【Player B: 126,666,666】

【Player C: 833,333,334】

Sitting next door, Ji Chuanze let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Xuechao's game coins were back to 800 million, and even more.

As long as he could keep it up, Bai Xuechao's life would be saved.

Here, Bai Xuechao looked at Zhou Chenhao. His red eyes, which were more magnificent than pigeon's blood rubies, still had a lingering smile, as if he was hinting at something.

"It's your turn," he said. As he said this, he thought to himself: If you can't even learn this, you're too stupid.

Zhou Chenhao didn't know if he had received Bai Xuechao's hint. He picked up the dice cup, covered the dice, and started shaking it with a "clatter."

Ten seconds, twenty seconds...

Bai Xuechao couldn't help but chuckle.

Zhou Chenhao had indeed received his hint and was also shaking three dice of the same number, but, technically, he couldn't do it for a while. Hearing his laughter, Zhou Chenhao quietly glanced at Bai Xuechao and focused more on shaking the dice cup.

Half a minute passed.

Gong Ting naturally guessed what Zhou Chenhao wanted to do and couldn't help but urge, "Haven't you finished shaking yet? It's been half a minute, right? I'm ashamed for you. If you can't do it, just give up."

"Anyway, there's no time limit for shaking the dice," Zhou Chenhao was not affected by his words at all and continued to shake the dice. "I'm not in a hurry."

Hearing this, Gong Ting "tsked."

He decided to add a time limit for shaking the dice to the game rules in the future, not just a time limit for choosing.

The dice collided with each other in the dice cup, making a continuous "clatter" sound, which was a bit hypnotic after listening for a long time.

Xiao 6 also couldn't help but say, "Why hasn't the male lead finished shaking yet!"

At this moment, Bai Xuechao suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down on Zhou Chenhao's shaking dice cup. The dice all hit the wall of the cup because the dice cup suddenly stopped. Under Zhou Chenhao's widened eyes, Bai Xuechao led Zhou Chenhao to shake the dice cup twice more before completely stopping.

Bai Xuechao calmly withdrew his hand.

The three of them were stunned.

Zhou Chenhao was the first to come back to his senses and exclaimed, "Oh, it worked!"

Ling Feng looked at Bai Xuechao with a complicated expression, not understanding why Bai Xuechao would help Zhou Chenhao. He didn't believe that Bai Xuechao had any friendship with them.

Gong Ting slammed the table and said, "This is not allowed! You can't help other players shake the dice!"

Bai Xuechao retorted, "Is there such a rule?"

"...No," Gong Ting's expression was not happy.

Bai Xuechao rested his slightly pointed chin on the table, like a cat lying in the sun wagging its tail, his tone calm and a little lazy, "We all know he wants to shake three dice of the same number. Since the outcome is already decided, instead of letting him shake until the end of time, it's better to help him finish and we can start the next round."

Gong Ting had nothing to say. He was actually tired of waiting too.

Zhou Chenhao had three dice of the same number, so no matter what he chose, he would lose. The three of them went through the motions and casually chose an option.

He opened the dice cup, three threes.

The large screen was updated.

【City Lord: 533,333,334】

【Player A: 46,666,666】

【Player B: 186,666,666】

【Player C: 813,333,334】

The game continued.

Gong Ting might have been in the mood to compare himself with Bai Xuechao. He played with more tricks than Bai Xuechao when shaking the dice. The dice even flew out of the dice cup and were brought back by him, making it even more dazzling. After a set of movements, it didn't look like he was shaking dice, but more like a performance.

When Gong Ting covered the dice cup, he slightly lowered his chin, raised his eyes to look at Bai Xuechao sitting opposite him, and a confident arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He, like Bai Xuechao, had also shaken three sixes.

Bai Xuechao made a choice on the small screen and said, "City Lord Gong, to prove that you didn't cheat, how about I open your dice cup?"

After he made his choice, he glanced to his left and right and found that Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng were both looking at him, probably wondering why he would make such a request.

Bai Xuechao smiled ambiguously and said, "Don't you know what to choose? Then choose big."

Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng made their choices, it was not clear whether they had listened or not.

The small screen on Gong Ting's side showed everyone's choice.

【Player A: Big】

【Player B: Big】

【Player C: Big】

They all really chose big.

But no matter what they chose, the winner would be him.

"Sure, you can open it," Gong Ting leaned back generously and made a gesture of invitation.

"This is my skill, I'm not afraid of being questioned. I'll give you a chance to witness it yourself."

"That's great," Bai Xuechao leaned forward, stretched out his hands and pressed down on the dice cup.

His snow-white hair fell to the side of his face as he leaned forward. The crystal lamp on the ceiling emitted a brilliant light, casting a halo on Bai Xuechao's hair, dazzling like snow. His slender, pale fingers gently pinched the black dice cup, the color contrast was sharp.

Bai Xuechao's eyes curved into a slight arc, his snow-colored long eyelashes fluttered, and he said with a chuckle, "I can personally witness you lose."

Gong Ting sat up straight, "What did you say—"

Bai Xuechao lifted the dice cup in front of the three of them and casually put it aside.

Gong Ting's questioning came to an abrupt end when he saw the dice on the table.

Six, six, three, big.

"Impossible!" Gong Ting immediately grabbed Bai Xuechao's wrist that he was about to withdraw. "I clearly shook three sixes, you cheated."

"Oh? You saw that you shook three sixes?" Bai Xuechao raised his other hand, pinched Gong Ting's fingers that were holding his wrist, trying to pry them open, but couldn't. "I opened the dice cup in front of all of you, did you see me cheat?"

Zhou Chenhao was the first to respond with a cheerful smile, "No!"

Ling Feng followed with an "um."

He didn't see.

Gong Ting didn't see anything just now.

Bai Xuechao's movements were very smooth and not slow, a completely ordinary action of opening a dice cup, but it changed the number of his dice.

Gong Ting quickly calmed down, let go of Bai Xuechao's wrist, and sat on the chair, his eyes deep.

The large screen updated their game coin amounts.

【City Lord: 513,333,334】

【Player A: 53,333,333】

【Player B: 193,333,332】

【Player C: 820,000,001】

Bai Xuechao's technique was too fast.

Realizing this, Gong Ting re-examined Bai Xuechao, whom he had previously looked down on, and felt a long-lost sense of tension.

The last time he had this feeling was when he lost to—

Bai Xuechao suddenly reached out and grabbed Gong Ting's collar, pulling him towards himself.

Gong Ting was still in a state of tension and subconsciously leaned forward with Bai Xuechao's force, his upper body almost lying on the table, supporting himself with his arms.

He also wanted to know what Bai Xuechao was going to do.

Bai Xuechao looked at Gong Ting and saw his own reflection in his green eyes. He did not deliberately lower his voice, so everyone present could hear him.

He said slowly and methodically, "City Lord Gong, the cheating techniques you are so proud of are just what I got tired of playing with when I was a child."

He saw that Gong Ting's green eyes, which held his own reflection, were trembling slightly.

Bai Xuechao's words instantly brought back a memory in Gong Ting's mind—

The same white hair.

The person he had lost to last time.

The handsome youth with long white hair parted in the middle sat sideways with his legs crossed, one elbow resting on the game table, and the other hand flicking out a playing card, a gentle, almost illusory smile on his face.

His golden eyes were dazzling, but they were filled with a malevolent light.

His tone was gentle, but he said, "City Lord Gong, the cheating techniques you are so proud of are nothing more than this."

Recalling this, Gong Ting clenched his fists.

He had already lost once, and the price he paid was losing his freedom and becoming the other's subordinate.

He would never lose a second time.

He would defeat the person in front of him!
