Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

Countless gazes fell upon Qin Luo, some with surprise, some with envy, some with jealousy, but most eager to see how he would respond. Would he accept this astonishing gamble, or would he back down?
Seeing Qin Luo remain silent, Rose's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. She moved closer to Qin Luo, almost pressing herself against him, and whispered in his ear with her red lips barely audible to the two of them, her voice clearly provocative and teasing.

"What? Mr. Qin... you wouldn't be... scared, would you? Afraid of losing ten million to a mere woman like me?"

Warm breath sprayed on his earlobe, and an alluring voice penetrated his eardrum. An ordinary man would probably have already been tempted, his blood boiling, and would have agreed out of pride.

Qin Luo seemed oblivious to the allure that was so close at hand and the burning gazes around him.

He gently swirled the wine in his glass, watching the dark red liquid rotate within. After a moment, he turned his head, his gaze calmly meeting Rose's alluring face so close to his own, a faint, indifferent smile playing on his lips.

"afraid?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the gamblers around him who had their ears perked up.

"Ten million a game? Sister Rose, do you think I, Qin Luo... am only fit to play such small games?"

These words shocked everyone present!

Ten million...is that too little?!

Who exactly is this guy?! His tone is way too arrogant!

Rose was also taken aback. Her intention was to provoke him, but she didn't expect that not only would he accept, but he would also complain that the stakes were too small! This was exactly what she wanted! Her heart was instantly filled with ecstasy. It seemed that this was indeed a clueless gambler who just wanted to show off and be rich because he had some money! This kind of "fat sheep" was practically delivered to her door!
"Oh?"

Rose's smile grew even brighter, and her eyes burned even brighter, as if she could already see a large sum of money flowing to her side.

"So, Mr. Qin, what do you mean by 'how big' you want to go? Just name your price, and I, Rose, will play along to the end."

Qin Luo did not immediately break free from Rose's arms, which had somehow wrapped around his neck—arms that seemed intimate but were actually full of possessiveness and provocation.

He hesitated for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Rose's sexy cheongsam, before he slowly spoke. His voice remained calm, yet it instantly plunged the entire gambling table into a deathly silence.

"The stakes remain the same, ten million per round, as you said."

Qin Luo said.

A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Rose's eyes; she'd thought he was going to raise the stakes. But then, Qin Luo's next words left her, and everyone who heard them, speechless!

"However, money alone is rather boring."

Qin Luo looked at the rose with deep eyes.

“We’ll add an extra wager. For every round lost, in addition to losing ten million, the loser… will also have to take off a piece of clothing. Until… there’s nothing left to take off.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over Rose's cheongsam once more.

"I noticed that Sister Rose isn't wearing anything underneath her cheongsam tonight. Perfect, simple and straightforward."

Take...take off your clothes?!
Ten million per game, plus the bonus of taking off a shirt?!

Until you're completely naked?!
Everyone was stunned by this sudden, sensual, and dangerous additional bet! Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they looked at Qin Luo.

This guy... not only gambles with money, but also... people?

Rose was completely taken aback when Qin Luo made such a request.

She was stunned at first, and then an indescribable emotion welled up inside her. There was surprise, a slight annoyance at being offended, but more than anything, there was a strange...excitement and pride.

Does his request indicate that he has developed an "interest" in his own body? It seems that even the most formidable man cannot escape this hurdle.

Instead of getting angry, she brought her red lips even closer, almost touching Qin Luo's earlobe, and breathed softly into his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, filled with warm, provocative breath.

"Mr. Qin... so this is your kind of thing? Fine... since you want to see, then... bring it on. Let's see tonight who... loses all their chips and... all their dignity."

After saying that, she deliberately used the hand that was wrapped around Qin Luo's neck to gently rub the back of his neck, a gesture that was extremely ambiguous.

All the gamblers around who witnessed this scene were stunned, their minds blank.

What did they see? The Rose Sister, who was usually tough and had a sweet smile but was unapproachable and could control all sorts of people in the casino, was now like a little woman, nestled close to that strange young man, acting intimately, making flirtatious remarks, and even tacitly agreeing to that absurd and exciting additional betting agreement?!

Who exactly is this young man?! How could he make Sister Rose show such a completely different side of herself?!
The area around the gambling table was completely silent, save for the heavy breathing and heartbeats, foreshadowing that the upcoming game was destined to be extraordinary.

Upon hearing Qin Luo's provocative and alluring additional bet, Night Rose showed no anger. Instead, a glint of excitement and absolute confidence flashed in her captivating peach blossom eyes. In the various casinos of Mindu, especially in this Xishan Casino, if Night Rose claimed to be second to none in dice-playing skills, she would likely be number one.

For years, she had never lost a dice game, and this confidence was ingrained in her very being. In her eyes, Qin Luo's actions were nothing more than a ridiculous condition proposed by a young man driven by youthful arrogance and lust, which would ultimately make him nothing more than a fish on her chopping block, at her mercy.

"Mr. Qin is in a very good mood."

Rose chuckled and extended her nail-painted index finger, gently tapping Qin Luo's brow with a charming gesture, the action intimate yet subtly provocative.

"Since Mr. Qin is in such high spirits, wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't join in? Alright, I accept the bet."

After saying that, she gracefully stood up, swaying her serpentine waist, and returned to her seat across the gambling table, facing Qin Luo across the table.

She looked at the dealer standing in the center of the gambling table, dressed in a sexy bunny girl outfit and wearing a standard smile, and gave him instructions.

"Xiao Lan, get ready."

The bunny girl dealer named Xiaolan bowed slightly, her voice clear and crisp.

"May I ask how many dice you two would like to use? And what kind of game would you like to play?"

Casinos typically use one to three dice to determine the size of a dice game, which is simple and straightforward.

Without any hesitation, Qin Luo spoke directly, his tone as calm as if he were ordering a glass of plain water.

"Six. Simply comparing sizes, if the total number of points is more than half, it's bigger; otherwise, it's smaller." "Six?!"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard, and subconsciously looked at the rose opposite her.

The gamblers around, who had been listening intently, let out a murmur of surprise.

Six dice?! This is no ordinary game! A single die has six sides, offering numerous possible combinations. Even three dice can present a number of combinations that are difficult for the average person to calculate precisely. Six dice… the possible combinations are astronomical, with sums ranging from 6 to 36. Precisely determining whether the sum is greater than or less than 18 after shaking the die is exponentially more difficult than with three dice! This requires not only extremely keen hearing to discern the subtle differences in how each die collidees, rolls, and settles within the dice cup, but also incredible mental arithmetic skills and probabilistic intuition. It also necessitates considering the minute variations in the dice themselves and the dealer's shaking technique.

This isn't gambling skill; it's more like metaphysics!
Night Rose's smile froze for a moment, and a hint of undisguised shock flashed deep in her eyes.

She was extremely confident in her dice-rolling skills, but her limit was only being able to reliably and mentally calculate the approximate sum of four dice, with a success rate of about 60%, which was already within the realm of top-tier experts. Five dice? That was the realm that only retired gambling kings in Macau and even Las Vegas could reach in legendary duels of the century. Leaving aside the success rate, just attempting it required immense courage and focus. As for six dice… she had never even heard of them! At least in Fuzhou, within her circle of acquaintances, no one could accurately predict the sum of six dice!

He's deliberately making things difficult for me! Is he trying to scare me off with an impossible task, or to find an excuse for possible failure? This thought flashed through Rose's mind for a moment. But seeing Qin Luo's calm and unwavering gaze, she thought it didn't seem like it. Could he really have something to rely on?
The embarrassment of being outmaneuvered and the absolute confidence she had always had in her dice skills intertwined. Rose took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and a charming smile bloomed on her face again, though this smile carried a hint of forced bravado.

"Six dice? Mr. Qin is indeed extraordinary; his move is earth-shattering. Alright, since Mr. Qin has spoken, I, Rose, will accompany you to the death. Xiao Lan, let's do as Mr. Qin says: six dice, let's compare sizes."

She couldn't back down, especially not in front of everyone, after already agreeing to that steamy bet. To back down meant to admit defeat, and it meant that her reputation as Sister Rose would be ruined tonight.

The dealer, Xiao Lan, dared not say a word. She immediately took out three brand-new dice from the side box and placed them together with the three dice that were already on the table. Then, she picked up the black, opaque dice cup, and with a flick of her wrist, smoothly and professionally placed all six dice into the cup.

"Gentlemen, please watch carefully."

Xiao Lan gave a reminder, then picked up the dice cup with both hands and began to shake it.

Her technique was clearly the result of rigorous training; it wasn't a constant, uniform shaking motion, but rather a rhythmic, varying speed and pitch. As a result, the "clattering" sound of the dice hitting the cup became completely unpredictable, sometimes as dense as a downpour, sometimes as sparse as dripping water, interspersed with subtle differences in the angles at which the dice collided with the cup wall and with each other.

This technique greatly increases the difficulty of identifying the points by listening to the dice.

The entire gambling table was deathly silent. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the dice cups flying up and down in the dealer's hands. Night Rose also suppressed her smile, leaning forward slightly, closing her eyes, and listening intently, her entire mind immersed in the chaotic clatter of the dice, trying to glean a trace of an almost impossible pattern from it.

A fine layer of fragrant sweat even seeped from her forehead.

Qin Luo, however, remained calm and composed, even taking the time to pick up the glass of red wine and sip it gently.

His gaze seemed to fall casually on the dice cup, but upon closer inspection, one could see that his ears twitched almost imperceptibly, and a calculating glint seemed to flash deep within his pupils, a glint that was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.

The shaking lasted for about a minute. The dealer Xiaolan's movements slowed down, and finally she raised the dice cup high and then, with a "smack," neatly and cleanly turned it upside down in the center of the gambling table covered with green velvet.

All sounds ceased abruptly at that moment.

"Please place your bet and guess the number."

Xiaolan's voice rang out.

According to casino rules, guests usually guess first.

All eyes turned to Qin Luo.

Qin Luo put down his wine glass, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and uttered a single word almost without thinking.

"big."

Night Rose opened her tightly closed eyes, a complex emotion flashing within them. During that extremely difficult listening session, she hadn't come away empty-handed, but she could only vaguely discern the approximate landing points of two or three dice. She had no idea whether the sum was greater than or less than 18. Now, hearing Qin Luo guess "big," she weighed the probabilities in her mind. Statistically, the chance of the sum of the six dice being greater than 18 was slightly higher than that of being less than or equal to 18, but the difference wasn't significant.

Qin Luo's guess was probably just a fluke.

She couldn't guess the same thing; she had to guess the other way around. After a moment's hesitation, she parted her red lips slightly.

I guess it's small.

"Buy and leave."

Xiao Lan gestured, and then slowly lifted the dice cup.

Six ivory-white dice lay quietly on the velvet cloth, with the numbers facing up being...

4、5、3、2、6、6。

Immediately, some quick-thinking gamblers whispered the calculations in their minds.

“4+5=9，加3是12，加2是14，加6是20，再加6……26点！26大于18，是大！”

"Mr. Qin guessed big and won the first round!"

Xiao Lan announced the results crisply.

A murmur of surprise and sighs rose from the surrounding crowd. The young man had won the first round! He'd won ten million! And according to the additional bet, Rose hadn't even had a chance to take her clothes off yet.

Night Rose stared at the total of 26 points, her pupils contracting slightly. It really was a large sum! And not a small one! She was secretly astonished. Could this guy have just guessed? Was his luck really that good?
But her face quickly regained its charming smile, as if she had lost not ten million, but a hundred dollars.

She clapped her hands gently and said in a sweet voice.

"Mr. Qin is so lucky, such a great start!"

"I'll have the chip dealer transfer this ten million to you shortly."

She made no mention of her earlier misjudgment, attributing everything to luck.

Qin Luo remained noncommittal, casually picking up a ten-thousand-yuan chip from the pile of unredeemed chips in front of him. With a flick of his finger, the chip traced an arc and landed precisely on the tray in front of the dealer, Xiao Lan.

"For your reward."

A casual tip of ten thousand yuan to the dealer?! This gesture left many around speechless. Although many present were wealthy, it was rare for someone to so readily give an ordinary dealer a ten-thousand-yuan tip, especially when the game was still undecided and had just begun. (End of Chapter)
