No Money? Then I'll Strip Off Your Pants (1)

Li Wei's "million-dollar gamble" immediately attracted a large crowd, as such a million-dollar bet was extremely rare. As more and more people gathered, Liu Kun's pressure increased. He was now truly in a bind, as he had no choice but to proceed. The bet had indeed come to pass as he had hoped, and he should have been happy. However, Liu Kun felt that things weren't going as he had initially planned.

It seems like I've been tricked?

Banishing this 'unrealistic' idea from his mind, Liu Kun looked at Li Wei, unsure how to answer for a moment. He could afford to bet a million, but if he lost, he feared he would lose everything.

Little did Liu Kun know that all his "belongings" had already fallen into Li Wei's pocket.

After careful consideration, Liu Kun wiped the sweat from his brow. He realized that the Destroyer opposite him had probably seen through his scheme and was deliberately trying to mess with him.

It's quite possible that this country bumpkin just randomly set a high stake, figuring he didn't have that 'a lot' of money. If he couldn't come up with that much, he would simply not gamble, thus saving face and gaining publicity. What a cunning fellow!

However, you've run into me, you country bumpkin, you're just unlucky. The 800,000 Destroyer Coin I was planning to give to a Level 6 Starfield S5 expert just a few days ago are at home and haven't been given away yet. Adding them to the 200,000 I already had, it's just over 1 million. Since that's the case, I might as well gamble with him.

Liu Kun concluded that the other party was likely bluffing, especially after seeing Li Wei's deliberately shifty eyes from time to time, which confirmed his judgment.

"That country bumpkin's casual mention of a million in bets is practically digging his own grave! He just won 400,000, still far from a million. If he loses, he can use the Destroyer's City to pay off his debt. Haha, my luck has turned!" Suddenly, Liu Kun thought of this and was overjoyed.

However, how to ensure a sure win still needs further consideration.

Glancing at the dealer, Liu Kun felt completely relieved. This dealer had worked in the casino for over a decade, and they had a close relationship. More importantly, this dealer definitely knew the 'secrets' of the dice gambling equipment. As long as he promised some benefits, the dealer would surely help him. Not to mention that the country bumpkin couldn't possibly see through the secrets of the gambling equipment, even if he did, he probably couldn't compare to a dealer who had been in the business for over ten years.

Therefore, if two people are betting on Sic Bo, as long as the dealer helps them roll the dice, their chances of winning are 100%.

Having figured this out, Liu Kun's arrogance rose, and he chuckled, "Sir, you certainly have a fine taste! A bet of one million is indeed a grand gesture. But since you're in such high spirits, how could I possibly spoil your fun? I'll gladly play along. However, I don't know how to handle dice, so I'll have to ask the dealer to press that button for me!"

As Liu Kun spoke, he glanced at the croupier and conveyed a message.

That is, 'Help me win, and I'll reward you handsomely!'

The dealer was overjoyed and replied to Liu Kun, "Don't worry, it's a sure win!"

Soon, the table was cleared out, the gambling equipment was neatly arranged, and those who had heard about the high-stakes gamble came to watch.

Li Wei and Liu Kun stood on opposite sides, looking at each other with cold smiles. Since they had already torn off all pretense, there was no need for pretense anymore; everything would be decided by this gamble.

Just then, Liu Kun said, "Wait a minute, sir, since you want to gamble with me, then... you have to show your capital. One million, are you going to hand it over?"

Li Wei knew exactly what the other party was thinking, but he deliberately said, "I have 400,000 here. If you win, I'll give you the rest, no matter what. But you don't seem to have even 400,000, do you?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate me. Although I'm not Destroyer, I'm not necessarily inferior to you. I have a black card at home with at least 1 million Destroyer Coin stored there. I'll send someone to collect it right away. As a high-level guide, I, Liu Kun, can easily come up with a mere million! If you don't believe me, let's both sign a contract here, with everyone present as witnesses. Anyone who loses and then goes back on their word will be executed!"

Li Wei laughed inwardly. This Liu Kun was a ruthless man, capable of coming up with such a terrible idea. He probably wanted to kill him a long time ago. However, although Liu Kun's move seemed to be aimed at him, in reality, he had probably dug a pit for himself, and one that he couldn't escape.

Li Wei, of course, would not object to this 'suicidal' act.

Soon, the agreement was completed, and both parties signed and affixed their fingerprints, thus establishing the agreement.

"Okay, let's begin!"

Liu Kun walked up to the croupier and whispered, "Brother, you have to get this done for me. There'll be a big reward for you after it's done."

The dealer nodded, staring at Li Wei with a smile on his lips, but inwardly he thought to himself that he knew this gambling equipment inside and out. Since it was gambling equipment, it naturally had a 'mechanism' to control the size of the dice, but this mechanism was very well hidden, and no one would guess where it was unless it was told.

In fact, the key to this gambling device lies in that button.

How do you control the number rolled on a die? Simply put, it's about controlling the force applied when pressing the button. Generally, different amounts of force represent different numbers. Of course, the difference in force required to roll a die with different numbers is only a fraction of a second, so it's impossible for anyone to tell the difference. But mastering this 'fragment' is not something that can be achieved overnight.

The dealer had practiced for years to control the dice rolls. Even if the opponent knew this, they wouldn't be able to roll the numbers they desired. Therefore, he wasn't worried about the opponent winning. Even if his technique was figured out, it only meant the opponent had good eyesight; to truly win using this technique required over a decade of rigorous training.

Seeing the other party make a "please" gesture, the dealer took a deep breath and swiftly pressed the button to launch the dice. The dice spun due to inertia and then slowly slowed down. The number on the first die that stopped was revealed.

But that's the biggest aspect, 6.

Upon seeing the '6', Liu Kun's expression relaxed considerably. He even gave Li Wei a smug look, as if to provoke him. Soon after, the second die also stopped rolling.

"Six again!"

A gasp rippled through the crowd. Two of the three dice had rolled a 6, bringing the total to 12. This meant Liu Kun was practically in the bag. In fact, he was equally thrilled when the second die also rolled a 6.

Li Wei's expression remained unchanged throughout, only revealing a slightly amused smile as he looked at Liu Kun.

When the third die came to a stop, the gamblers watching in the hall couldn't help but gasp in surprise again.

"It's a 5! Good heavens, the total is 17 points, that's a very high number. For the opponent to win, there's only one possibility: rolling an 18. But that's incredibly difficult..."

Many people looked at Li Wei with pity.

Upon seeing the score, the dealer wiped the sweat from his brow. He usually rolled the highest possible score of 18 nine out of ten times, but even seasoned players make mistakes. Especially with this high-stakes gamble involving millions, coupled with the large crowd of onlookers, the pressure was immense, leading to a slight error. However, his performance in this situation was still commendable.

"17 points is a very high score. Winning shouldn't be a problem!" The dealer smiled and looked at Li Wei, waiting for him to press the button.

Li Wei's expression remained unchanged, yet he appeared completely at ease. Just as the dealer had predicted, he had indeed seen through the 'trick' of the gambling device, and was now 100% certain that it used force to control the dice rolls. This method of cheating was extremely sophisticated; not only was it difficult to detect and prevent, but it was also impossible to imitate.

However, Li Wei had his own methods.

He had carefully observed the dealer's force in the previous gambling games, and gradually he figured out the amount of force needed to throw a high number. This had nothing to do with special skills; it was entirely a manifestation of talent and observation.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Li Wei was not intimidated. He slowly walked to the table where the gambling equipment was placed and casually pressed the button.

The sieve inside the glass case was bounced high into the air, then tumbled rapidly inside the case, its six sides constantly changing, creating a captivating spectacle.

Everyone around was on tenterhooks. This was a high-stakes gamble involving 1 million Destroyer Coin, and they all wanted to see who would win.

The bunny girl next to Li Wei unconsciously raised her hand to her chin, her eyes fixed on the shaking sieve. Finally, the first sieve, due to insufficient momentum, stopped rolling and slowly revealed a number.

"It's a 6... it's another 6!" A bystander who saw the dice was stunned at first, then shouted loudly.

"The second one came out too... Damn it, am I seeing things? The second die is also a 6?"

Immediately, a commotion erupted, and Liu Kun and the dealer's expressions became somewhat unnatural. At that moment, Liu Kun's heart was in his throat.

The last die continued to roll, making a clattering sound as it hit the glass. After about ten seconds, the sieve was finally revealed.

Upon seeing the number on the last die, Liu Kun's face turned pale, and then he suddenly slumped to the side and collapsed to the ground.
