The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: An Inauspicious Start

”Zoom in a bit!” said Shan.

”Alright.”

”Stop!”

The screen paused, clearly displaying the faces of Lin Tian and his two companions in front of them.

”Wu Yong, that’s... Lin Tian.” Shan quickly recognized them. Wu Yong was the head of Black Gold, a rival to the Wang Family, so knowing him was normal. As for Lin Tian... he used to be the pillar of the Xianglong Tea House, naturally, Shan knew him from being in this circle. And he also heard... Wang Sicong’s death is connected to this person, the whole Wang Family has been on edge recently, seemingly preparing to make a move against them.

He really didn’t expect they would show up here. Shan did not believe they came just to have fun.

Wreck the place!

These three words suddenly popped into Shan’s mind.

This wrecking the place is similar to challenging! Such things often happen in gambling venues, and if they win, not only would they win a big sum of money, but also lose face.

In the underworld, money and face are extremely important! So, we cannot lose!

Shan thought further, suspecting they might have ulterior motives besides challenging, as they looked cunning on the surveillance, what good people could they be?

”Keep an eye on them, don’t take any actions even if they do something improper for now.”

After instructing, Shan went to a quieter place with his phone to report to higher-ups, he was just a small figure and couldn’t make major decisions.

The higher-ups hearing this, they also couldn’t decide, so they kept reporting upwards, nearly taking ten minutes going back and forth, finally Shan received the call, just to keep watching without rash actions, if they came to wreck the place, only winning, not losing!

On hearing this, Shan’s heart tightened, immediately feeling immense pressure. He had heard, back when Lin Tian was at Xianglong Tea House, he won over forty million overnight, such a glorious record must be by an experienced player, can we hold the ground?

Thinking of this, Shan’s expression turned severe, briskly walking towards the poker area upstairs while dialing to call for reinforcements.

...

Lin Tian and his two companions wandered around the poker area two or three times, discovering the play styles inside were truly diverse. Just with poker games there were over a dozen types, also combat games, all relying purely on skill.

After wandering, Lin Tian finally stopped and pointed at a gambling table saying, ”This one, dice. Simple and quick to finish.”

Dice, simple yet thrilling, the banker shakes the dice, and other players place bets, with four betting options: big, small, leopard, and straight, only needing a glance to learn.

”Hehe, I’m good at this!” Wu Yong rubbed his hands, clearly eager.

Lin Tian rolled his eyes, ”It’s not you shaking the dice, good at blind guessing?”

Wu Yong continued with a sheepish grin, thick-skinned, patting his chest, ”I have good luck!”

”Let Luu Yong go first.” Lin Tian said.

Luu Yong had been following behind the two silently, suddenly being named by Lin Tian, he paused.

Patting Luu Yong’s shoulder, he smiled, ”Know what to do?”

Luu Yong took a deep breath, then nodded, ”Yes! I remember all the signals you told me before.”

”That’s good, take a seat.” Lin Tian said.

Luu Yong nodded, and headed towards the fixed seat by the gambling table.

At each gambling table, there are fixed seats, meaning this table can only accommodate a certain number of participants, not one more. Lin Tian and the others’ luck was good, as there was exactly one vacant seat.

After Luu Yong sat down, he placed all the chips in front of him on the table, two million in cash turned into a pile of broken plastic, a small heap, if one didn’t know its value, it truly looked pitiful.

However, the chips in front of the seven other gamblers weren’t plentiful either, but definitely each over a million! They were indeed much more convenient.

Behind the gambling table, the Croupier in a black vest glanced at Luu Yong, unfamiliar but did not engage with him, simply cleared his throat and shouted: ”Dice stop, place your bets, set your bets and leave, odds one to one.”

Upon finishing, he picked up the dice box with one hand and started shaking.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~

The dice rolled and bumped inside the dice box, producing a crisp and pleasant sound. This sound seemed magical, entering the ears, stimulating excitement within, especially for Luu Yong, whose face flushed with excitement.

As for the gamblers seated in other positions, they all focused intently on the Croupier, as if they possessed the same vision as Lin Tian to see through.

Pop!

The dice box landed within a white circle, the Croupier quickly withdrew his hand.

At this moment, without saying a word, people began placing bets, more or less, betting big or small. Three people hadn’t placed bets yet, Luu Yong being one.

Luu Yong was very nervous at this moment, which everyone could easily see. His eyes revealed confusion, not knowing what to do.

”If not betting, please leave the table,” the Croupier stated calmly.

Finally, Luu Yong saw Lin Tian’s hand gesture, his eyes became much more determined. He looked at the chips in his hand, picked up a chip worth two hundred thousand and placed it on small. After placing it, he quickly withdrew his hand.

Betting such a sum made Luu Yong’s heart race, if Lin Tian hadn’t mentioned earlier ”don’t be stingy, at least two hundred thousand and above,” he wouldn’t dare to bet so much.

After everyone placed their bets, the Croupier opened the dice box. Inside were five dice.

”Two two three four six. Seventeen points, big!”

The Croupier announced loudly with an emotionless voice.

Among laughs and sorrows, naturally, the winners were cheerful, and the losers were worried, Luu Yong being one of the losers, he could only sit there, watching the Croupier take all his chips away, unable to do anything. That was two hundred thousand!

He raised his head to look at Lin Tian, only to see Lin Tian smiling and shaking his head, looking confident.

Luu Yong’s spirits eased quite a bit. Just unlucky earlier, surely that’s it!

”Hehe, first time here, brother?” someone beside asked with a smile, he was a bald middle-aged man, his small eyes seemed like little stars when smiling, very spirited.

Luu Yong nodded, but did not reply.

”Heh, I can tell with one glance. Playing dice has a technique, it’s all in the ear.” The middle-aged man with the small eyes touched his ear.

Luu Yong became interested immediately, asking eagerly, ”Big brother, please tell me.”
