Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Can We Learn a Trick or Two from Him?

Old Zhang followed the description in “Swindler,” constantly shaking the dice, far more focused than he ever was in school.

He repeatedly opened the dice cup and verified the results.

Smack!

Once again, the dice hit the floor.

Old Zhang talked to himself, “The sound of the dice landing this time is very crisp, crisper than any other time, the face that landed should be 1, so the face that’s facing up is…”

“6 points!”

Old Zhang lifted the dice cup.

Inside, the die indeed showed six points up!

“Holy shit!”

“It’s actually true!”

“What this author wrote is actually the real deal!”

Old Zhang’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He completely changed his view of the book on swindling.

“I thought this author was just some green kid, but turns out he’s a master of cheating techniques!” Old Zhang put aside his contempt.

He stared at the dice inside the dice cup, his brow furrowed, and his previously lifeless eyes suddenly sparkled again, the gloominess on his face dissipating in an instant.

“It seems, I might have a bit of a talent for listening to dice myself.”

Old Zhang’s eyes shone with deep thought.

In the quiet living room, the crisp sound of dice rattling inside the cup resonated, unceasing.

“Old Zhang!”

Zhang Xinxin pushed open the living room door with a shove and unexpectedly turned back, “I told you to watch videos and read novels, so why are you playing with dice again, are you thinking about gambling?”

“No… no!”

Old Zhang stumbled over his words and quickly put down the dice cup, his gaze slightly evasive.

“You’re playing with dice and you say it’s not gambling?”

Zhang Xinxin looked skeptically at her old man.

Old Zhang pointed to his phone screen, “I’m reading a novel, it says shaking dice can train the wrist.”

Zhang Xinxin was doubtful, “Dice? Is that a serious novel?”

Old Zhang immediately defended “Swindler,” “Serious, absolutely serious!”

“Hmph!”

Zhang Xinxin huffed.

“Why are you here but not in the store?” Old Zhang retorted.

Zhang Xinxin walked into the room, “I came back to get my tablet.”

“What do you need the tablet for?” Old Zhang asked again.

“To watch videos!”

“Can’t you watch them on your phone?”

“The phone screen is too small.”

“Always watching videos, are they really serious videos?” Old Zhang quipped.

Zhang Xinxin pursed her lips, her eyes darting away, “Why wouldn’t they be serious?”

The video website Lin Chuan provided not only discussed the complex ethical relationships of humans in society, the self-rescue methods of the weak against the strong, but also delicately depicted the struggle and downfall of people when faced with the contradiction between desires and reality, with characters that were deeply developed.

Serious indeed.

Zhang Xinxin hugged her tablet and quickly left the house.

Old Zhang, diligent and eager to learn, continued to read with the mindset of an apprentice.

But the more he read, the more mystical it seemed, and the more he felt that the author was definitely a master of cheating techniques!

Old Zhang checked the author’s homepage.

Author: Mr. Lin.

“Huh, there’s a reader’s group?”

Old Zhang saw the next line, a QQ group.

So.

Old Zhang opened his long-unused QQ and applied to join the group.

…

Ding dong.

In the rental, Lin Chuan received a notification for a group join request.

[‘Arrogant Zhang’ is applying to join the group, do you agree?]

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow.

Wow, a new reader is joining the group so quickly!

Agree.

At that moment.

In the reader’s group, the various experts saw the new member arrive and started to make their presence known.

[@Arrogant Zhang, welcome new friend to the Ministry of Justice.]

[My good brother, are you here to learn techniques too?]

[@Mr. Lin, Author Boss, will you take me as a disciple? Teach me a couple of moves!]

[I’ve read 30,000 words; you didn’t lie, author, it’s really technical. I’ve been practicing the listening dice skills for a long time and still haven’t mastered it.]

[Cheating Sect techniques, where can one learn them so easily?]

[Author, you’re too criminal, it’s written too realistically!]
