"He actually agreed..."

In the eyes of the spectators, Qin Fang and Ye Ming were like two lunatics, each more crazed than the other.

One gambled with his life after losing money, while the other actually agreed to it.

One said it was a dice game where they would compete for the lowest roll, and using twelve dice wasn't enough, so they changed it to twenty, and the other also agreed. These two were truly insane—so much so that even the onlookers felt a bit of sympathy pain.

There are always crazies around, but it is truly rare to see such madness here. However, judging by the expressions of the two men, they seemed to have some confidence.

When such a large number of dice are used, the shaking cup needs to be different from the usual ones. They used a very long dice cup that could accommodate all the dice.

A single die is just over a centimeter tall, so twenty dice stacked would be quite the pillar, reaching over twenty centimeters high. Thus, the two dice cups brought over were about thirty centimeters long, quite a length.

Qin Fang had never seen such a dice cup before. He tried holding it, and it wasn't very heavy but had some heft to it. It felt like it was made of composite material—very sturdy and not so easily broken.

"I see you're unfamiliar with it; why don't you give it a try first..."

Ye Ming glanced over at Qin Fang's side, aware that Qin Fang had not used such a dice cup before and hadn't undergone that kind of practice.

His first reaction was anger. He was offended that Qin Fang had agreed to the match without any proper training.

But his second reaction was pleasure. Even though the victory might not feel completely honorable, as long as he won, he would get back his one million US dollars and could also take Qin Fang's one million. This was definitely advantageous for him.

Although he was a member of Thousand Gate, his time there had not been very long, and being a debauched scion, he was no angel and had no interest in competing fairly.

As someone who believes, "Not taking advantage when it's given makes you a fool," he was naturally happy to accept the terms of the contest.

Seemingly feeling like he had the win in the bag, Ye Ming generously indicated to Qin Fang that he could try, appearing quite magnanimous, especially since he hadn't touched the dice cup himself yet.

"Then I'll give it a try..."

Qin Fang was not at all polite, actually nodding in agreement. He took the dice from the plate nearby, one by one, and dropped them into the dice cup.

Twenty dice filled up almost the entire bottom half of the cup in an instant. It suddenly felt heavier in his hand, adding some weight to it.

Taking a slight breath, Qin Fang began to shake the dice cup slowly.

Shaking dice was not his first rodeo. He had played with dice while singing karaoke at KTV, so he wasn't a novice, but he wasn't exactly experienced either.

However, with the Cheating Skills at his disposal, it was almost like an instinct. He shook the cup and it looked quite professional, not like the average person who might easily spill the dice when shaking such a heavy cup.

Ye Ming just watched coldly without saying a word and paid close attention to every move Qin Fang made. In the end, he simply shook his head, having almost dismissed any threat from Qin Fang.

Thump~~~

After shaking for a while, Qin Fang thumped the dice cup upside down on the gambling table.

All eyes focused on him. Even though this was just a test and not the official contest, demonstrating some level of skill was still expected. At the very least, feeling out the dice cup was a test in itself.

Even Ye Ming looked on; he had practiced this for no short amount of time and generally could tell the dice numbers by the sound they made.

Of course, that applied when there were fewer dice. For example, with three dice, Ye Ming could roughly determine the numbers. But specifics still had a degree of uncertainty. Most croupiers in casinos have small tricks when shaking dice, which can throw off cheaters.

Qin Fang slowly lifted the dice cup and revealed all twenty dice. However, seeing the scatter of the dice, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel his face redden slightly.

"Wow~~"

Now the crowd erupted in laughter, almost in unison, and even those close to Qin Fang like Qiao Zhenfei and Li Yang couldn't help but join in.

Twenty dice were scattered haphazardly around, some stacked on top of one another, but that was due to the bottom of the cup being too small to fit all twenty dice.

And even the stacked ones were not the towering pillar depicted in gambling films; they were just a plain mess, with some dice tilted in such a way that their numbers couldn't even be discerned.

There was no question, Qin Fang's performance was a failure, and quite a disastrous one at that.

Even Qin Fang himself thought so. The Beginner Level Cheating Skills didn't grant him any remarkable techniques; at this point, he was only slightly better off than an average person.

Playing with dice, he guessed that Qin Fang was only barely able to handle two or three, and as for these twenty... it was really a bit too difficult for him.

So in essence, this performance was merely his true colors coming through.

"Hmph~~"

Qin Fang's performance disappointed Ye Ming, or rather, it was a great letdown.

He had thought Qin Fang's rolling looked quite professional at first and expected to feel some pressure, but the end result was nothing like that. Qin Fang was completely a beginner.

Ye Ming even let out a scornful snort at Qin Fang's clumsy performance.

Then he picked up the dice cup himself, tested its weight, and threw a handful of dice into it. The number wasn't huge, but it seemed to be around twelve or thirteen.

Clatter, clatter, clatter~~

Ye Ming's wrist began to shake, and the dice in the dice cup vibrated rapidly, making such crisp colliding sounds. At first, they seemed a bit chaotic, but later they gradually became uniform, as if each collision was making a single sound.

"He's a skilled player!"

"Clearly much better than that Mr. Qin..."

Just by listening to the sound, Qin Fang knew Ye Ming was indeed much stronger, at least in the mastery of dice, incomparable to him.

The audience below wasn't blind, and from the sounds alone, they could tell who was stronger or weaker. A buzz of various comments arose at once, with most of them highly favoring Ye Ming.

"That's hard to say, I think that young guy is just playing dumb to catch the cunning Tiger!"

"Exactly, it was the same with Baccarat just now. Everyone thought he would lose, but who would have thought he'd actually win..."

Of course, there were a few supporters of Qin Fang too, and they had their own reasons. For instance, Qin Fang's earlier performance was merely a smokescreen to confuse Ye Ming.

Even in Ye Ming's mind, such thoughts were not absent, so correspondingly, he remained rather cautious too.

The crushing defeat of the previous round was a severe lesson for him and pushed him to this point. This round was a matter of life and death; he couldn't afford to lose even more.

Even if the opponent was truly a powerless beginner, Ye Ming planned to use his strongest ability to firmly defeat him, ensuring his victory in this game.

The dice cup was still shaking, but it was no longer in midair. It had landed on the gambling table by now, yet it didn't stop; instead, it slid rapidly across the table, moving back and forth ceaselessly, and Ye Ming's ears kept trembling slightly, listening to the sound of the dice colliding inside the cup.

"Double Dragons Emerge from the Sea!"

With a light shout from Ye Ming, he suddenly lifted the dice cup, and there saw the twelve dice, standing tall like two Azure Dragons...

"Crap, that works too..."

"So awesome! I want him as my master..."

With the appearance of the two Azure Dragons, everyone was stunned. Their eyes were wide; this wasn't a movie scene, but a real dice roll in front of them, completely authentic.

While many in the audience were people of status, such dice rolling was something they had rarely seen, and the person rolling the dice was just a young man in his twenties.

A few more straightforward and wacky young people even cried out in astonishment, clamoring to take him as their master on the spot.

This move was too incredible. If they could learn it, not only would they be confident in gambling, but showing off, or picking up girls would also become a killer skill!

However, Ye Ming didn't say much else and just glanced calmly at Qin Fang across from him, his eyes filled with a mocking smile.

But the fight had only just begun. Ye Ming didn't hesitate; he scooped the twelve dice back into the cup and started shaking again. It seemed as if the "Double Dragons Emerge from the Sea" had been just a casual trick for him.

The audience, on the contrary, was still in shock. Rolling out two Azure Dragons with twelve dice was no easy feat; just the thought of it felt incredibly impressive.

"Pillar Piercing the Sky!"

Ye Ming shouted again, slowly lifting the dice cup, careful to keep it vertical, not daring to touch the central area.

Twelve dice formed a towering pillar, standing high, one upon another, managing to maintain the structure without any sign of collapsing.

This scene was something Qin Fang had seen in those Hong Kong gambling films, but those were just movie scenes, and whether such skills truly existed was debatable.

But now he had witnessed such skill with his own eyes, and he was utterly astonished. It was far more incredible than the "Double Dragons Emerge from the Sea" technique from earlier.
