Chapter 695 A Drop in the Ocean
"I think if he keeps losing, he might not be willing to borrow money anymore," Xiao Jiang guessed.

“That’s not necessarily true. You have to know the rules of the casino. As long as I don’t leave, he can’t leave. My goal is to make him lose a hundred million. I’ll only let him go when he’s lost a hundred million.” Wang Yang said confidently. He stared at Xiao Yang’s back and shook his head helplessly, thinking that if this kid wasn’t addicted to gambling, he could actually amount to something great.

When Xiao Yang returned, he wiped the sweat from his brow and said confidently, "Is this enough?" He showed the cards in his hand to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang won every game from the first to the fifth. However, Xiao Yang was not flustered. He was confident that he would win, especially since he still had so many chips in his hand.

Sure enough, Xiaoyang won the next two rounds.

"At first I thought you were on a winning streak, but now it seems we're about the same skill level," Xiao Yang said arrogantly. He now understood that the more chips he had, the greater his chances of winning.

Thinking about this, he calculated that Wang Yang now had about 5000 million yuan, while he only had a little over 1000 million yuan left.

Just then, a waiter walked in and whispered something to another person.

"Gentlemen, we have a VIP customer who would like to join you, is that alright?" the waiter asked.

Wang Yang nodded: "I don't care, but I'll say it again: I don't care if he comes, but this young man can't leave first unless I agree."

"Of course, that's the rule of our casino. If one person disagrees, the other person absolutely cannot leave. And what about you, sir?" the waiter asked Xiaoyang.

Xiao Yang is on a winning streak right now and is just hoping someone will come and give him money, and he has no intention of leaving.

"Okay, let him come!" Xiao Yang readily agreed.

A few minutes later, the person was brought in. He looked very wealthy. Since he was a VIP customer of the store, his net worth must be quite high.

"This place used to be mine. I didn't expect that just because I was a little late today, someone would take it over. I'd like to see who dares to take over my place." Chen Ziyang walked in and glanced at Wang Yang and Xiao Yang.

“You two must be unfamiliar faces, I’ve never seen you before,” Chen Ziyang said.

Wang Yang smiled at him: "This is indeed my first time here, and I'm not familiar with the rules. I'm really sorry."

Seeing that Wang Yang was quite sensible, Chen Ziyang smiled at him and then turned to look at Xiao Yang.

"And you, is this your first time here too?" Chen Ziyang asked.

Xiao Yang waved his hand: "Of course, I come here almost every night."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyang scoffed disdainfully. Since Xiao Yang came every night and he had never noticed, it meant that this person was nothing more than a nobody.

"So you still dare to come into this place tonight? Do you know the rules here? The minimum bet here is 100 million."

"Of course I know, we're playing a game for 100 million right now."

Chen Ziyang looked the two of them over again and was surprised to find that these two young people were quite old but were playing around with such a big game.

“I just heard them say that you two haven’t been playing for very long, and you seem to have become mortal enemies. Judging from this, you two won’t stop until you’re fighting to the death tonight. As for me, I’m just here to satisfy my gambling addiction. How about this, since I’m joining in, let’s raise the stakes.”

Hearing Chen Ziyang say this, Wang Yang nodded calmly; he didn't care anyway. But Xiao Yang across from him seemed a little flustered.

The minimum price now is 100 million, which is already a lot for him. He only has a little over 1000 million on hand, while the two people in front of him probably have hundreds of millions each.

Seeing Xiao Yang's hesitant look, Chen Ziyang couldn't help but mock, "Oh, this young man doesn't seem to agree, does he? Judging from your appearance, you're here to borrow money to play, aren't you? Here, I'll give you a chance, now get lost!"

Seeing Chen Ziyang's arrogant and domineering demeanor, Xiao Yang clenched his fists. He didn't want to lose face in front of so many people.

Besides, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't. Unless Wang Yang gave the order, he wouldn't be able to leave this casino tonight.

"Sure, you name the price."

"Looks like a straightforward person! How about this, the base price was 100 million, now we'll raise it to 300 million, what do you say?"

At this moment, Xiao Jiang secretly rejoiced. Luckily, this person came and helped them out; otherwise, it would have been difficult to raise the price.

"I have no opinion."

Xiao Yang shook his head and remained silent.

"It seems you two are the type to take a gamble. Alright, we'll officially begin in five minutes. In these five minutes, go borrow some money; you'll need to have some capital on hand!"

After saying that, he took out a card and handed it to the waiter, asking the waiter to bring over a 5000 million card.

Xiao Yang was getting impatient. He only had a little over 1000 million yuan, while Wang Yang probably had tens of millions. Among the three, he had the fewest cards. In fact, having few cards from the start meant he lacked confidence and was likely to lose from the beginning.

Thinking of this, he got up and walked to the side. Wang Yang smiled with satisfaction; he knew that this brought them one step closer to their plan.

Seeing Xiao Yang get up, Chen Ziyang looked at Wang Yang beside him and said, "Young man, aren't you planning to borrow some money? I bet all your chips combined don't even amount to as much as mine, right?"

He knew that the chips in front of Wang Yang were all that Wang Yang had won tonight, but what he didn't know was that Wang Yang's capital was actually only 1 yuan, and the rest was all won.

"No need, I'll have more and more chips later."

Hearing this, Chen Ziyang smiled and said, "You've got quite the nerve, kid. I'd like to see how your luck is going to be later."

Wang Yang didn't argue with him, but simply closed his eyes and remained silent. Five minutes later, Xiao Yang returned. Wang Yang saw that he had borrowed another 50 million, meaning Xiao Yang now actually had the most leverage.

"This young man is impressive, exchanging 5000 million worth of cards in one go. Don't cry if you lose later!" Chen Ziyang joked.

"Let's begin!"

“It’s just the three of us, playing dice isn’t very interesting. Let’s try something more exciting. I’ve noticed that your money hasn’t changed much after playing for so long.”

Wang Yang also wanted to know what exactly this new way of playing was.

"There's a new game that's popular abroad now, using two dice. The bettor has to place three bets, guessing the total number of points on both dice and the sum of the two numbers."

Xiao Yang frowned; this meant that he would have to bet at least 900 million at a time.

"Doesn't that mean 900 million per game?" Xiao Yang asked anxiously.

"Yes, that's why I said playing like this is more exciting. Playing like you guys were doing is too slow. So, young man, your 5000 million is nothing at all."

He chuckled again: "If you want to back out, or play the game the way you did before, I'm fine with that, but that's too childish!"

Xiao Yang snorted coldly. The rules kept changing after this person arrived.

Wang Yang agreed: "I've never heard of this kind of game before, but it's definitely exciting. I agree. What about you?"

Wang Yang actually agreed, and now all the pressure fell on Xiao Yang, who was truly at a loss for words.

But since things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and agree, "Okay, we'll do it your way. Let's have a blast tonight!" "Great! Looks like I really chose the right place tonight. You two brothers are both straightforward guys. Alright, let's get started!"

This time, the difficulty has indeed increased significantly. However, if you can win just one game, you could win back nearly 2000 million.

If before, the odds of winning or losing in guessing high or low were 50/50, now the chances of winning are much smaller.

Before, it was just a matter of guessing whether it was big or small, but now it's about accurately guessing the exact number of each die. This is a test of more than just guessing or luck.

Wang Yang knew perfectly well that Xiao Yang had no ability to discern the exact number rolled on the dice. His previous wins were merely lucky guesses.

But if he really had to choose now, he'd have to rely on luck. And clearly, Xiao Yang's luck wasn't that good.

As for Chen Ziyang's abilities, Wang Yang wasn't quite sure. He wasn't the only one who could determine the size of a die by sound.

Since Chen Ziyang proposed this method of playing, it shows that he is quite capable in this area.

At the start of the first round, Wang Yang accurately identified the numbers on both dice. However, when he looked at Xiao Yang opposite him, he was still struggling with the numbers, clearly having no idea what they were.

"Gentlemen, please choose your numbers, and then place your answers in the middle together."

This process is a bit more complicated than before, but the moment the answer is revealed is even more anticipated.

This time, Wang Yang didn't write all the points correctly. He couldn't perform so well in the first round, otherwise Chen Ziyang next to him would become suspicious.

Therefore, he only wrote down one number correctly, which means he will lose 600 million in this round.

When the cards were finally revealed, it was clear that Xiaoyang hadn't guessed a single number correctly, and it was obvious that he had just guessed randomly, because the sum of the two numbers didn't match.

Like Chen Ziyang, Wang Yang only guessed one number correctly.

Therefore, both of them were able to win Xiaoyang's money.

However, Wang Yang was still unsure whether Chen Ziyang beside him was hiding his strength like him, or whether he was already going all out.

In the second round, Wang Yang guessed all the numbers correctly, while Xiao Yang guessed one number correctly but still lost. Chen Ziyang, sitting next to Wang Yang, didn't guess any numbers correctly at all.

Chen Ziyang turned to look at Wang Yang and said, "You're pretty good, kid. You've been playing dice for years, haven't you?"

"I liked to play at home when I was a child. Later, I studied with a master for a few years, so I might have some skills in this area."

Wang Yang spoke very modestly, but Xiao Yang and Chen Ziyang at the table could tell that the money he won tonight was not due to luck, but because he truly had the ability.

At this point, Xiao Yang began to regret his actions. He had assumed that Wang Yang was like him, unable to discern the dice's value, but having won a few times before, all thanks to good luck.

But this time, we unexpectedly encountered such a master who could completely discern the numbers on the dice.

"That's really amazing. To be honest, not many people can tell the size of a dice roll, and you actually did it."

"I can't always tell it; it depends on luck. Sometimes I can tell it when the sound is clear."

Wang Yang simply said, not wanting them to know his true strength. If he did, they might run away.

Besides, he had no intention of winning Chen Ziyang's money. Tonight, his only target was Xiao Yang. As long as Xiao Yang kept losing money, and the ones losing to him, everything would be fine.

From the second to the fifth game, Wang Yang no longer held back, winning three games in a row. Xiao Yang was getting a little impatient; he figured his 5000 million wouldn't last much longer.

Chen Ziyang, standing next to him, seemed to have a good attitude. On the one hand, he was already well-off, and on the other hand, he hadn't lost much money yet.

At least he can sometimes guess one die correctly, and sometimes even two, so the wins and losses aren't too big.

He usually wins this game because very few people can accurately predict the dice rolls. It seems he really underestimated Wang Yang.

"Young man, why don't you go and take a rest for a while?"

"No need, there's no reason to rest while playing, let's continue!"

Wang Yang could tell that Xiao Yang was putting on a brave face, and now he only had less than half of his cards left.

In the next round, Xiaoyang actually guessed both numbers correctly, which boosted his confidence a little. However, this was just a drop in the ocean compared to the money he had borrowed.

Wang Yang glanced at the time; it was already nine o'clock at night. He had been playing here for an hour and had actually earned over sixty million.

No wonder so many people are deeply addicted to gambling. It may be equivalent to the wealth that an ordinary person cannot earn in a lifetime, and it can be easily obtained in an hour. The temptation is truly astonishing.

Just as he was about to start the next game, Wang Yang's phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was Qin Tongtong calling.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call. You guys take a break."

He walked to the side before answering the phone.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Wang Yang, where are you? Why aren't you back yet, it's so late?"

"I have something to do outside. You go to sleep first. I've already had dinner," Wang Yang said in a very soft voice.

"Where are you? Why is it so quiet? Why are you speaking so softly?"

"I'm talking to someone right now, so I'll probably be home very late tonight, or maybe not at all. But don't worry, I'm with Xiao Jiang, he's right next to me."

Qin Tongtong hesitated for a moment. Wang Yang had been staying at home for the past few days and hadn't gone anywhere. She never expected that once he went out, he would stay out all night.

"Don't worry about me, I'm really fine. Or I can have Xiao Jiang come over and say a few words to you, he's right next to me."

"Never mind, it's alright. Take care of yourself, don't stay up late, and come back as soon as you're done."

Wang Yang quickly nodded: "I understand. I'll come back as soon as I'm done. You should go to sleep early and don't wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yang returned to his seat. Chen Ziyang then started teasing him again.

"You didn't run away from your wife, did you? Is she checking up on you now?"

Wang Yang responded with a smile: "You're right. She just called to ask what I was doing, and I told her I was talking to someone and told her to go to sleep first. I don't plan to go back tonight."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyang burst into hearty laughter.

"I like people like you. You have no idea how many I've met in private rooms before. They have to go home as soon as their wives call. It's so boring to play like this. I haven't had enough fun yet!"
