Chapter 211 Number

Xiao Hong’s expression and action just now were obviously irritated by Hao Ning’s behavior which showed that he could not gamble at all. But since she had already spoken it out before, she couldn’t retreat at this time just because Hao Ning could not gamble. She had to let Hao Ning say it himself. However, after thinking about it, what Hao Ning had proposed, the method of rolling a dice and comparing the number was not so bad. Anyway, Hao Ning had borrowed Xiao Hong’s mana, and he could win the gamble through seeing the number. Why should they use such a complicated method of gambling?

“Well.” Hao Ning was a little awkward and scratched his head. He said, “How about playing the game of shaking the dices and comparing the number?”

“Good! That is so good!” Almost all the people on the other side were over the moon after hearing what Hao Ning said, and they all answered, “I am coming to play with you!”

This time, Hao Ning was more certain that most people here had the clairvoyance. Since other gambling methods still needed technology, the number-comparing only needed people to see the number clearly, and they could play it.

“Don’t you have your own business?” The young man suddenly looked back. The sharp eyes forced everyone to step back, and they did dare to speak again.

“Ha-ha!” Wang Jun did not care about these things at all. He laughed loudly and said, “Such a young talent, who really returns to his original nature! Well, let’s play this.”

“Wait a moment!” Hao Ning said, “We should clarify the rules of the game first!” He said for nothing else, but just because he did not understand the rules and did not want to lose face.

“It’s very simple.” Wang Jun said with a smile, “Two dice cups, and five dices in each cup. Whoever gets a bigger number will win.”

“Is it so boring?” Hao Ning shook his head and said, “Would you like to add something?”

“Add something?” Wang Jun frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Since it is a gamble, the effect of luck must be bigger.” Hao Ning smirked and said, pointing to the young man behind Wang Jun. “It is better to take five dice cups at one time, with 5 dices in each cup. Let this little brother shake the cups for us, and then we choose one of the five cups respectively. Whoever gets a bigger number will win. What do you think?”

“Yep?” Wang Jun was stunned. There were many people who played the number-comparing, but no one had ever played it like this. Hao Ning asked the young man behind Wang Jun to shake the dice cups. It seemed to be fair. But everyone knew that in this way, Wang Jun actually took a big advantage. Wang Jun naturally knew about the capability of the young man behind him. But for him, Wang Jun would not have kept Hao Ning here to gamble once again.

Wang Jun didn’t have the clairvoyance at all. His original intention was to let the young man tell him. But if the young man was to shake the dice cups, with his capability, as long as he shook the dice cups casually, he would surely know which cup had the biggest number. Then what was needed was just a wink. It became simpler for Wang Jun to know it. This was more reliable than the young man who would tell him. In this way, it was so easy to win the gamble, right?

However, with the way that Hao Ning had pretended to act just now and the final surprising result which he caused, Wang Jun not only could not understand it before, but now he also could not see it through, either. What Hao Ning had done made Wang Jun seem to have an advantage, but he was careful and said, “You ask this little brother to help us shake the dice cups. What about you?”

What he asked was very clever. As the so-called saying went, it was impolite not to reciprocate. Since Hao Ning had proposed a plan to suffer such a loss, there must be a post-recruit. Instead of letting him play tricks later, it was better to make Hao Ning come forward in advance, to help himself react to what would happen in time after he knew it. If he let Hao Ning do something but he didn’t do, it was not so reasonable for Hao Ning to do something later.

“Me?” Hao Ning thought for a while and then said, “My rules are very simple. Back and forth! If your little brother shakes the dice cups, I will choose the cup first. After that, as long as the number of my dice cup is not smaller than that of me, I will win the gamble.”

“Ha-ha!” Wang Jun laughed. “So, that is what it is. You’re waiting for me here.” Wang Jun looked back at the young man eye to eye, and everyone laughed.

What a good plan Hao Ning had made!

Wang Jun now had 80% of the grasp. As for the opposite side, Hao Ning, of course, he had never introduced himself from the start. The strange thing was that Wang Jun seemed to have forgotten to ask this question. The clairvoyance and the reason why Hao Ning let the young man behind Wang Jun shake the dice cups were all just an illusion. The real situation was that Hao Ning only had the clairvoyance, but he couldn’t shake the dice cups, especially to show the best figures like five 6. He just wanted to borrow the young man’s hand and chose the cup that was most beneficial to him after shaking the dice cups.

“Don’t you feel that your condition…” Wang Jun said, looking at Hao Ning, with a slight smile as well as confidence, “Is it too biased to yourself?”

“What do you mean?” Hao Ning smiled and looked at Wang Jun, offering no opinion. “Why can’t I understand Mr. Wang’s words?” The dice cups are shaken by your man. I will just choose one from them. How can I be too biased?”

“Um…” Wang Jun was stunned by Hao Ning. He didn’t know what to say at this moment, for he couldn’t say that he knew that Hao Ning had the clairvoyance. If he said so, with Hao Ning’s previous speaking skill, Hao Ning must tell everything about what skills people at his side had. Then how could he protect Wang Family’s fame in the future? Having thought about that, Wang Jun decided to pretend to be stupid. “I just feel so. Can’t I? In short, I think this plan is not good for me.”

“You are very interesting indeed.” Hao Ning laughed. At this time, a few discerning staff members were ready to provide everything, such as the gambling table and the dice cups, which made Hao Ning know that Wang Jun should be a frequent visitor just after a quick look. Otherwise, how could those staff members be so obedient? But he didn’t say it out at this moment. “Does Mr. Wang mean that you think my plan is beneficial to me?”

“He is done for.” Liu Shuai said and turned around with a smile. He secretly said to Xiao Hong, “Old Wang’s brain is not so clever, and he is going to fall into a trap.”

Sure enough, Wang Jun blurted out, “Of course!”

“That’s easy.” Hao Ning generously waved his hands, and then he sat at the gambling table. “My man will shake the dice cups. You choose first. As long as your number is not smaller than that of me, you will win. What do you think?”

“Yep?” There were already some voices in the crowd. “What is this kid doing on earth?”

Not to mention that the discussion began in the crowd, even Wang Jun began to feel it unpredictable. If the previous plan of Hao Ning made Wang Jun himself think that the people of Hao Ning were not capable of shaking the dice cups, so Hao Ning let his man shake them, what was the opposite plan now for? The opposite plan which Hao Ning proposed now had already made Wang Jun somewhat worried because once Hao Ning dared to propose such a plan, it meant that his people could shake the dice cups better, and their skills of shaking the dice cups would not let Wang Jun win even if he chose one first.

This was totally impossible! Wang Jun couldn’t figure it out at all. What was the other side’s ability on earth? What could let Wang Jun lose, even after Hao Ning’s people finished shaking the dice cups and Wang Jun chose the cup first?

“Does Mr. Wang agree?” Hao Ning smiled, not waiting for Wang Jun to speak, and quickly said to Zhou Yuan, “You come to shake the dice cups.”

“Me?” Zhou Yuan was watching this beside them. Hearing Hao Ning mentioning his name, he was shocked and blurted out, “But I don’t know how to do this at all!”

“Hey!” Hao Ning replied, “You don’t have to be afraid of that. I mentioned shaking the dice cups, and it is the name of shaking the dice cups, which is not shaking the dice cups, and you just need to…”

“Wait!” Wang Jun quickly stopped Hao Ning. He wiped off the sweat and then said, “I choose my man to shake the dice cups!”

“Really?” Hao Ning frowned.

“I’m sure!”

Hao Ning did not speak anymore. He looked at Wang Jun for a minute. Finally, he exhaled a breath of relief and said, “It is up to you.”

Why did Wang Jun choose to let his man shake at the last minute? Because he heard the conversation between Zhou Yuan and Hao Ning. Both conversations were that Hao Ning asked Zhou Yuan to do something, and Zhou Yuan said that he could not do it. But they had gotten three pieces of jade for the first time, and every time the words of Hao Ning were the same. Whoever said XX, and it was the name of XX, which was not XX. Then he began to teach Zhouyuan how to do it.

Why was Wang Jun so scared? Because he thought of a possibility, which was that Hao Ning was probably not capable of anything, but after he cooperated with Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan could produce something special! He was not completely unfamiliar with this kind of combination. One person seemed like a crap, but the other one was very powerful.

It seemed that the first option that Hao Ning said before was actually a smoke bomb, just to let Wang Jun say those words “not beneficial for me” himself. Then Hao Ning could propose the second plan, in order to let his friend show up!

The most important thing was that just now he remembered a method of shaking the dice cups, which was almost legendary. This technique was called “Drunken Beauty”. The so-called “Drunken Beauty” was not that the person who shook the dice cups was drunk and lay down as Concubine Yang had done. It was that after being shaken, all the dices inside were leaning against the inner wall of the dice cups at a certain angle as if Concubine Yang was drunken and leaning against the tree. In other words, what the number was in the dice cups on earth was variable. As long as the force and the angle of holding the dice cups were different, the dices would change at the moment when the dice cups were lifted, so that the result would be opposite in the end. If the opposite side had such a method, it would have completely exceeded his control. Therefore, Wang Jun chose the first option at the last moment.

As for Hao Ning? He didn’t think so much at all. He just simply wanted to complicate everything! He wanted the young man next to Wang Jun to have more opportunities to act, to help him see through the young man’s methods.

How so? Because what this man had done to Jienan just now was ruthless and insidious. When the young man just hit Jienan, the method he used was nothing else, but the “Palm to Dissolve the Bones”, which was in accordance with that in a fiction of Mr. Jin. When you were hit, there was no feeling at that time. But after a while, all the bones of your whole body would be broken, and you would die in pain. If Hao Ning hadn’t recognized it in time and blocked in front of Jienan, transferring the power of “Palm to Dissolve the Bones” to the feet through the ability of the passage of time, Jie Nan would not be able to live for a few days.

What surprised Hao Ning most was that after this young man saw the power being blocked by Hao Ning, he used the Netherworld’s Palms, the Seven Sided Strike and other ruthless kung fu skills, each of which were powerful. Before that, every enemy of Hao Ning just had one kung fu skill. For example, Kong and Dao only had the skill of Life and Death Charms, and those seven people only had the skill of Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation. As for the Root Praying Method and the Flying Sword, they were more like some kind of “instruments” changed by Monkey King’s villus and then catalyzed by the Soul Coin Material. However, the young man in front of him had used several kinds of insidious kung fu skills calmly, which made Hao Ning have to doubt this person’s background. If he didn’t find out that, even if this matter was over today, Jienan would be in danger later.

Therefore, Hao Ning communicated with Xiao Hong secretly. He let this person shake the dice cups more times in public, in the process of which Hao Ning could do something privately to test this person’s ability. Xiao Hong would also make a slight shot, and then Hao Ning would mess up with the opposite side for making them confused. As for the so-called first plan, it was naturally the most beneficial one to Hao Ning. He was not able to shake the dice cups. Letting the young man shake them and then choosing first himself were certainly the most convenient choice.

If Wang Jun chose the second plan, Hao Ning also had a way. Zhou Yuan was naturally not able to shake the dice cups, but Zhou Yuan could use Virtualized reality! It was not a big deal for him to cover up the real results and let the opposite side see the fake results. They would select the biggest-number cup they thought. Then Hao Ning himself just needed to choose the real biggest one. This was what Zhou Yuan could do. Anyway, at last, the money would be won by Hao Ning himself with nothing to do with Zhou Yuan. Of course, if Wang Jun didn’t admit the result shamelessly at that time, he could propose a two-out-of-three game and let the young person shake the dice cups, which was to give the opposite side a chance, so that they could see through the opposite side’s methods. But it would be a little troublesome. In short, whether Wang Jun chose option 1 or 2, Hao Ning had a strategy to cope with it.
