Chapter 1556 The Final Question (2/2)
Du Enhai shook the dice cup quickly, then slammed it down aggressively. ”Big or small?”
Li Du said carelessly, ”Big.”
He tilted the cup to reveal the dice: two points. In an instant, someone announced in a loud voice, ”Two dots, small!”
Li Du tossed ten thousand dollars to Du Enhai. He took the dice cup over and shook it a few times before holding it firmly to the ground. ”Your turn.”
The man strained to listen, then declared solemnly, ”Still small!”
Li Du lifted the cup. It was one point this time. ”One point, small! Congratulations, boss, you won this round too!”
Twenty thousand in less than a minute. Du Enhai grew even more ambitious and his eyes gleamed. ”Hand the cup over to me. Guess — big or small?”
Li Du said mildly, ”It'll be big this time. It can't possibly be small three times in a row, right?”
Du Enhai lifted the cup. This time, there were four dots. Indeed, it was big. As such, he said, ”As we agreed, ask whatever you want.”
Therefore, Li Du asked, ”Where did you learn to speak Chinese?”
Du Enhai said, ”Hpakant. It's your turn with the dice cup. I'll call this time.”
Li Du shook the dice cup. When he set the cup down, Du Enhai said, ”I say it's big again!”
There were four dots. The bunch of teenage hooligans who were gathered in a crowd and watching erupted into raucous cheers. ”F*ck, the boss won another ten thousand!””Boss, you're the best! You're winning so much!”
Du Enhai shook the dice cup. Li Du said, ”It's small this time.”
The dice were revealed: one point, small.
Li Du asked, ”How long have you been operating here?”
”Five years,” Du Enhai said, then rubbed his hands together. ”Come, it's your turn with the cup and my turn to guess.”
Li Du shook the cup. Du Enhai maintained his pose as he strained to listen to the dice shaking and rattling about in the cup. When Li Du stopped shaking, he declared, ”It's big this time!”
Six dots, big. The hooligans were going wild.
They switched roles again. This time, Li Du called big as well. It was six dots again. ”How did this huge pit form?”
”It was left behind by people who came here looking for jade.”
The pair took turns guessing and shaking the dice cup, consecutively calling out big and small. As the game went on, Du Enhai raked in a load of cash while Li Du accumulated bits and pieces of information.
Li Du took charge of the dice cup again. When he stopped, Du Enhai called out confidently, ”It's big this time!”
He lifted the dice cup: one dot. Du Enhai's eyes widened in anger. Some of the hooligans hooted tactlessly, ”Another ten thousand, all hail the boss! F*ck, why is it small?!”
Li Du smiled. ”Almost there. Here, it's your turn with the dice cup.”
The cheer drained from Du Enhai in an instant. He shook the dice cup a few times and put it down. Li Du said, ”Lift your finger from the top of the cup. I'm guessing it's small.”
This time, it was not just Du Enhai who turned solemn. The crowd of hooligans were equally serious; some of them subtly reached for the bayonets and daggers strapped to their waists.
The dice cup was lifted: two dots, small!
Li Du smiled as he glanced at the dice. ”My final question…”
