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.

In fact, both the first plan and the second plan were the smoke bombs released by Hao Ning. The main purpose of him was not to shake the dice cups by himself. Regardless of plan one or plan two, as long as they didn’t have to shake one dice cup respectively as Wang Jun had said, he could figure out what to do next, because this was what he was most afraid of. But he hadn’t expected that Wang Jun would fall into the multiple choice of Option 1 or Option 2 so easily and no longer consider more possibilities. Even more, he hadn’t expected that Wang Jun had thought about so many things at once, and finally, he wandered himself in. Even the legendary skill of the Drunken Beauty which was used to shake the dice cups had been considered by Wang Jun. If Zhou Yuan knew that Wang Jun mistakenly thought that he had the skill, he could be happy for a long time.

The young man saw what Wang Jun had chosen, but he didn’t say anything. He went straight to the scene, throwing the dices into the five cups in front of everyone, with five dices in each cup. All the people were holding the stones in their hands while yawning and watching, mainly because this kind of gameplay was too boring without any technical needs and stimulating feeling. Of course, there was no stimulation. These people all had the clairvoyance. They saw those cups just as glass.

Unexpectedly, after this young man buckled the dice cups, he did not use the same method of shaking the dice cups in the air as it was in the movies as usual. He just slowly shook the dice cups back and forth on the table, and he seemed to be very unmindful. Hao Ning was going to laugh at this person since his skill was not much different from that of himself. Unexpectedly, he heard several people whispering and exclaiming, “What happened? Why did the dice cups become dark?”

“Dark?” Hao Ning could not help looking at the dice cups. Sure enough, the dice cups, which were originally transparent like glass, turned black under the shaking of the young nan. After a while, the color of the dice cups was completely different from that of the normal dice cups and became no longer transparent.

“The clairvoyance does not work?” Hao Ning was stunned with cold sweat. Then he looked back at Xiao Hong furtively. Xiao Hong’s voice sounded in his ear. “This person actually used a skill that I do not know to cover my mana. I can’t see what is inside for now. Can you see it?”

Once he heard this, Hao Ning understood the reason why the young man dared to play. It was because he had the ability to make the dice cups become impossible for everyone to see through! But in this case, Wang Jun also couldn’t see anything inside. Hao Ning doubted the question and asked Xiao Hong quietly.

“If what I guess is correct…” Xiao Hong’s voice continued to say, “The young man doesn’t have the clairvoyance. He judges it with its voice!”

“WTF ! Is there this operation?” Hao Ning was so angry almost to scold. No wonder the young man shook the dice cups so slowly, so carefully, and so unmindfully, because he couldn’t hear clearly when he shook too fast! It was too odious! It was too damn! Hao Ning was so angry that he wanted to disturb this young man with a square dance of Phoenix Legend. But this was just a lose-lose way for both sides, not a solution to the problem!

“It’s really shameless. They actually cheated in the gamble!” Thinking of this, Hao Ning suddenly remembered that he did not use any honest methods, either. It was improper for him to blame others. He shook his head and asked Xiao Hong in the spiritual communication, “Can you recognize it through the voice?”

“This…” Xiao Hong’s voice showed a bit of hesitation. “I really don’t have the skill of God’s Ears…”

“Okay!” The young man listened for a while, gently putting the dice cups in a row and placing them on the table. Wang Junwei smiled slightly and didn’t speak. The young man looked into the direction of Hao Ning. His eyes stopped at the position about 1 meter above Hao Ning’s head. It seemed that he didn’t see Hao Ning at all. This was contempt without any covering-up. Hao Ning was depressed in the mind, not for he felt that he was despised, but for the money which he had gotten was ruined by himself in this way. It got his heart hurt.

“Xiao Hong, what should we do?” Hao Ning asked Xiao Hong in the spiritual communication. Xiao Hong faltered, and she could not say a word at all. Finally, she simply said, “If there are no other ways, you can use your wuxiang-zhi to mess up all the dices in the dice cups. We can rely on the luckiness at the worst!”

“WTF ! Is that a real way?” Hao Ning knew what Xiao Hong really meant. Wuxiang-zhi could even overturn the small flags in the apricot bamboo hat, not to mention a few dices in the dice cups. But in this way, no one could know the number in the dice cups. This was a lose-lose end for both sides. Hao Ning desperately cried in the spiritual communication, “What a bad idea!”

“Don’t be afraid of anything! We do not take so little money seriously.” Xiao Hong said in the spiritual communication, “It is just one gamble play about tens of millions of yuan. We can go back and look for those ghosts who are doing some bad things at night. We change them into the Soul Coin Material, and then we can find a way to get a few pieces of jadeite!”

Hao Ning sighed. Xiao Hong really regarded money as dirt. This was tens of millions of yuan, tens of millions of yuan! Being said out from the mouth of the Great Saint Infant King, it felt like no difference from the marbles in the hands of children…

However, in this way, it seemed that this was the only way. But who knew if the ghosts were so good to find?

“Add the jetton?” Seeing that Hao Ning hesitated to choose the dice cup, Wang Jun could not help laughing, and he said, “Gentleman? By the way, haven’t I asked your honorable last name?”

“It’s not honorable, but I won’t tell you.” Hao Ning was thinking about the wandering ghosts’ things. He replied without a head or tail. He didn’t want to keep it a secret, but if he lost now in this way and the words were passed to Zhe’s ears, he would be so shameful. Zhe must look down upon him, the great master.

“No problem.” Wang Jun said with a smile, “Then I will add 15 million yuan. Do you follow?”

“What do you mean by saying that?” Hao Ning asked subconsciously. He really did not understand.

“Ha-ha!” This time, everyone could no longer hold back, and they all burst out laughing. Also, idiots could know that Hao Ning was really a little nervous.

“Hao Ning!” Xiao Hong’s voice came over. “The meaning of not following is that you directly lose 30 million yuan to him. The meaning of following is that you should add 15 million yuan, which is a total of 45 million yuan, and then you choose one dice cup to gamble with him!”

“WTF ! Then what should I do?” Hao Ning was almost going to cry. “How do you choose this time? The money I have just gotten is gone just like this.”

“Don’t worry!” Xiao Hong’s voice continued to comfort him. “We have had a few discussions. You can choose whatever you want, and we won’t blame you. The accident is not something we can control. Anyway, this money is also an accident. We actually haven’t thought about spending it on our own. We can think about the solution later. Now what you need to do is to help you get away with all of these things. That’s called losing the game but not losing the dignity!”

“Losing the game but not losing the dignity?” Hao Ning felt touched in his heart. These people were really loyal. They were usually greedy for money before. But at this time, they were so knightly! After thinking about it in the other way, he knew that it was right. Anyway, there was no way to go for them. They could as well put on airs at least. If they gave up before taking the dice cup, it would be such a shame! Hao Ning figured it out and impulsively decided to say, “I follow you!”

“Clap, clap!” Once the voice came out, a round of applause rang. “The boy really has the guts!”

“You have convinced me!”

“You are enterprising!”

Hearing the voices of other people, Hao Ning understood that they couldn’t see through the dice cups as himself. The most sensible thing to do now was to yield at this time. At least, he could lose 15 million yuan less. But his choice was obviously for the dignity, not for the money. Using 15 million yuan to buy the dignity was not something that anyone could do.

“Good!” Wang Jun’s smile was very hearty, and it seemed that he had won the game. “You choose first.”

“That’s alright! I’ll choose!” Although Hao Ning said so enterprisingly, he was very awkward in his heart. Were there any gods or Bodhisattva who were passing by? If you let me win and save the rest of my friend’s money, I would consecrate you with Sea Lanterns and Golden Bodies, or you could let me do anything without harming others. As long as I could do, I would do! Could you show the spirits? If there wasn’t any Bodhisattva , would there be any gods? Those gods who were in foreign countries, such as Allah, Jesus, Zeus , were also good. If you had some free time at ordinary times, could you hang out in our country? Anyway, the people of our country were broad-minded. They would believe you as long as you showed your spirits. Usually, Buddhas, Lord of Heaven , and other gods could enjoy the incense happily in the same temple. You would not be too much. You could rest assured that as long as you helped us, we would certainly welcome you!

After talking about these messy prayers, Hao Ning’s hands were trembling to uncover a dice cup in front of him, and suddenly there was a voice in his mind, “You can’t win the money if you choose this.”

“Who?” Hao Ning subconsciously thought it was Xiao Hong, but the voice was obviously not from Xiao Hong. It seemed to be a woman’s voice. “Who are you? Why is your voice in my mind?”

Mom! God! Was it true that a Buddha who passed by was really showing up? Hao Ning heard this sentence almost with tears coming down. “Who are you actually?”

“You don’t need to care who I am.” The voice said, “You just said that as long as I helped you this time, you would help me with one thing, right?”

“Yes!” Hao Ning continued to say in the spiritual communication, “Do you want a Sea Lantern or a Golden Body?”

“What do I need those things to do…” The voice hesitated to say, “First, let’s solve this problem. I will discuss with you later.”

“Discuss?” Hao Ning said strangely, “Is it something which is difficult to do? First of all, I don’t have anything.”

“Why are you so verbose?” The voice continued to say, “Hurry up to choose! In this way, your fingers should touch the dice cups one by one, and I will tell you when you encounter one that is possible to win money.”

“Okay!” Though Hao Ning thought that this thing that the voice asked him to do didn’t look like a kind of mana, he promptly moved his fingers on the dice cups one by one. Until he touched the fourth dice cup, the voice said, “This is it!”

“This is it!” Hao Ning pointed to the dice cup.

The young man and Wang Jun’s faces changed, but they still didn’t say anything. They looked at Hao Ning with changing faces and saw that Hao Ning moved the dice cup to his side.

“If this is the case…” Wang Jun and the young man looked at each other. Wang Jun moved another dice cup to his side. Then Wang Jun said, “Which one of us is going to open the dice cup first?”

“Well, this…” Hao Ning was thinking. Suddenly, He heard a slight sound of clicking in the dice cup on Wang Jun’s side. The speed was not fast, but it kept ringing. Then the voice in his mind shouted, “Oh, it’s not normal. How do I suddenly feel that you can’t win with this dice cup? But your dice cup hasn’t been changed!”

After listening to the words of this voice, Hao Ning suddenly understood that the other side was cheating in the dice up of Wang Jun!
