Chapter 75: Made a Fortune with Boundary Stone
After just two looks, Lan Xiaobu understood the gambling method. The gambling method was simple and straightforward, very much like dice on Earth. There were three dice on the gambling table, and their style was similar to those on Earth, ranging from one to six points.
It's not about comparing sizes, just odd or even. As long as you hit it, the odds are one to one. Next is betting on the point total, no matter how many points, as long as you hit it, it's one to eight, which is considered very low odds.
The highest odds are when you hit the same point total, like three ones or three sixes, known as "leopard," and the odds for leopard are one to eighteen.
Clearly, if calculated proportionately, this kind of payout is extremely advantageous to the house.
What surprised Lan Xiaobu the most was that his divine sense had already scanned the dice and found no tampering, which seemed unlikely. However, not having tampering was better for him.
At the start of the third round, Lan Xiaobu placed one of his boundary stones on twelve points. His divine sense had already detected a total of twelve points, and if he won this round, he would have nine boundary stones.
"Brother Xiaobu, why don't you exchange this boundary stone for Starry Sky Gold? One boundary stone can exchange for a lot of Starry Sky Gold," Pasia, who was beside him, worried that Lan Xiaobu might lose this boundary stone in one go, and then the two of them would have to return the same way.
She was well aware that Lan Xiaobu only had this one boundary stone, and it was the Sixth Prince who gave it to him. Generally, newcomers would bet on odd or even, but Lan Xiaobu directly bet on the point total right from the start, showing a courage that was not ordinary. Although one boundary stone wasn't a large amount here, on this Battle Shuttle, it was still a considerable fortune.
Everyone placed their bets, but Lan Xiaobu was the only one who bet on twelve points. Lan Xiaobu observed that there were already two hundred and two boundary stones on the table.
"Place your bets, no more bets," the dealer announced, and the area around the dice cup cleared.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, the dealer revealed the dice cup. Three sixes, indeed twelve points.
"Ah, we won." Pasia's eyes sparkled with excitement. She hadn't expected Lan Xiaobu to hit the point total on his first try, his luck was incredible. She also suspected that it wasn't luck but rather Lan Xiaobu's eyesight and hearing being extraordinarily sharp. Regardless of whether it was luck or hearing, as long as they won, it was a good thing.
Lan Xiaobu was somewhat annoyed by Pasia's shouting beside him. When the dealer pushed nine boundary stones to him, he handed one to Pasia, "Go exchange some Starry Sky Gold for yourself, I'm not free here."
"Thank you, Brother Xiaobu." Pasia, excited, grabbed the boundary stone and left. She was a gambler at heart; watching others gamble without participating made her itch to join.
After Pasia left, the dealer had already shaken the dice again. Lan Xiaobu placed all eight of his boundary stones on seventeen points.
On Earth, the payout for seventeen points would usually be second only to a leopard. But here, the odds for guessing the point total were the same, one to eight.
Even though Lan Xiaobu hit the point total the first time with just one boundary stone, not many people paid attention. This time, when Lan Xiaobu bet on seventeen points, a couple of people followed his lead.
"Place your bets, no more bets..."
After the dealer's call, the dice cup was opened, revealing seventeen points.
If the first time Lan Xiaobu bet one boundary stone didn't draw attention, this time, with eight boundary stones, almost everyone noticed.
Winning sixty-four boundary stones in one go, even more than the dealer won. The two who followed Lan Xiaobu's bet also made a small profit and were excited. At this moment, not only them but others were also planning to follow Lan Xiaobu's bets next time.
The dealer didn't seem to care about Lan Xiaobu's skill. After shaking the three dice, he let everyone place their bets again.
This time, Lan Xiaobu only bet four boundary stones, all on seven points. Almost ninety percent of the people followed Lan Xiaobu and bet on seven points, with over three hundred boundary stones placed on seven. You could imagine if it turned out to be seven, the dealer would lose thousands of boundary stones.
"Place your bets, no more bets..." The dealer didn't seem concerned about the three hundred boundary stones placed on seven.
Lan Xiaobu, however, saw clearly that when the dealer called for no more bets, one of the dice inside the cup flipped over, changing from three points to five points.
Lan Xiaobu acted as if he didn't see it and didn't move his four boundary stones to nine points.
When the dice cup was revealed, it was nine points, and the dealer almost took everything. Some people were already looking at Lan Xiaobu with hostility because his previous two miraculous wins had led some to bet everything they had this time, only to lose it all.
Lan Xiaobu acted as if he didn't see it. He knew he had at most two more chances. After winning twice, the dealer wouldn't let him win any more. But Lan Xiaobu didn't plan to win twice; he only planned to win once and then leave.
The dealer shook the dice again, and only a few people waited for Lan Xiaobu. Most people bet according to their own judgment.
Lan Xiaobu didn't place a bet. The few who waited for him had to place their bets. Just as the dealer was about to call for no more bets, Lan Xiaobu placed all sixty-eight boundary stones on three sixes.
Three sixes had the highest payout. Even the dealer looked at Lan Xiaobu in surprise. As the dealer, he knew there was only one six, one five, and one four inside the dice cup. Betting sixty-eight boundary stones on three sixes was a sure loss. This made the dealer breathe a sigh of relief. Although he seemed unconcerned with Lan Xiaobu, he had already marked him as a dangerous person.
Almost as soon as Lan Xiaobu placed his bet, the dealer announced no more bets.
The biggest bet this time was naturally Lan Xiaobu's, with sixty-eight boundary stones placed on a leopard. If the dealer lost, it would be a significant payout.
Although unable to change the bet point, everyone's attention was on Lan Xiaobu's bet. They wondered if he could win this time after two consecutive wins.
"Reveal the dice." Some people couldn't wait for the dealer to reveal the dice cup.
"Let me give you a seat." A man sitting at the gambling table saw Lan Xiaobu betting so much while standing behind someone and couldn't help but offer him a seat at the table.
Lan Xiaobu thanked him but waved his hand, saying he didn't need it.
He naturally wouldn't sit at the table now because he had used his divine sense to change the dice inside the cup to three sixes. If he didn't approach the table, no one could accuse him of cheating. Once he sat down, there would be grounds for cheating accusations.
When the dice cup was opened and everyone saw three sixes, they were collectively surprised.
The dealer was dumbfounded. He clearly remembered rolling a four, five, and six. How could it be three sixes? Did he lose control?
"A big fortune with boundary stones, what a windfall." The people around were envious of Lan Xiaobu. This time, he would receive eighteen times the payout, totaling one thousand two hundred and twenty-four boundary stones.
With such a large payout, the dealer had worked for nothing, losing it all to Lan Xiaobu.
Although he didn't want to pay, the dealer had no choice but to pay over a thousand two hundred boundary stones to Lan Xiaobu. Lan Xiaobu was not sitting directly at the table, so there was clearly no cheating. Since there was no cheating, the dealer had no excuse not to pay the boundary stones.
Lan Xiaobu hesitated whether to gamble once more or leave immediately when Pasia's scream reached him.
Lan Xiaobu looked over and saw Pasia, hair disheveled, grabbed by a man covered in tattoos and lifted by her chest.
Sighing, Lan Xiaobu had no choice but to walk over. After all, he was the guard captain of the Abandoned Night Star. Regardless of Pasia's character, she was someone he had to protect. Now, the person he was supposed to protect was being lifted in front of him, in an offensive manner, and Lan Xiaobu, despite his reluctance, had to intervene.
"Put her down." Lan Xiaobu approached the tattooed man calmly, not immediately resorting to violence.
"Who do you think you are? This woman dared to accuse me of cheating. If I don't strip her clothes off, I've already gone easy on her," the tattooed man sneered at Lan Xiaobu.
"Brother Xiaobu, this person is indeed cheating. He used cheating methods to win all my Starry Sky Coins," Pasia shouted anxiously, having lost all her money.
Lan Xiaobu's divine sense detected that he was being watched. He wasn't sure if this person grabbing Pasia was related to him. However, he knew he wouldn't have the chance to win more boundary stones. If he didn't leave quickly, trouble would soon arrive.
"If you want to fight, pick on me. Don't lay a hand on a woman." Lan Xiaobu stepped forward and slapped the tattooed man's shoulder.
The tattooed man felt his shoulder go numb, and the next moment he involuntarily released his grip, causing Pasia to fall. She quickly got up.
Lan Xiaobu ignored the tattooed man and only said to Pasia, "Let's go, we need to leave."
Having suffered a significant loss, Pasia didn't dare to argue. Seeing Lan Xiaobu simply say a word and then walk away, she hurriedly followed him.
The tattooed man watched them leave, momentarily unable to muster the courage to pursue them.
