Gambling with one's life was a crazy challenge.
Qin Fang knew about the rule, but he did not expect someone to use such a method to gamble.
"You have to think carefully!
You're no match for me at all … "
Qin Fang sighed softly and said softly.
Ye Ming was about the same age as Qin Fang. He was in his youth. Although he was not in his prime, he was about the same age.
However, he had to choose such a method to take such a crazy gamble.
One must know that if he really lost, his life might be completely ruined.
"You don't have to worry about that!
I'm only asking you, do you want to gamble or not? "
However, Ye Ming seemed to have gone completely crazy. His eyes were filled with determination and no doubt. It seemed like no one could stop him at this moment.
The rich second-generation heirs and officials who had been following him earlier had run away. Initially, they were just acquaintances with Ye Ming. They could not be considered real friends at all. When Li Yang appeared, they had run away from him long ago.
Moreover, now that Ye Ming was forced to gamble with his life by an unknown young man like Qin Fang, it was no small matter.
He was gambling with his life!
If he were to lose, wouldn't his life be no longer his?
This was not a joke. They thought that their lives were precious. They would rather lose more money than lose their lives.
Even the young man in the monitoring room was stunned at that moment. He did not expect things to develop in such a way that even he did not expect.
He had seen Ye Ming's Thousand Gates of Illusion. Such a person was basically not welcome to the Jin City Guild Hall. Even if he was not blacklisted, he was not welcome. Such a person was quite a challenge to the fairness of the casino.
As for Qin Fang, he received similar treatment. However, Qin Fang's technique was even more superb, so he could not find any flaws. However, the casino did not welcome such a person either. In this young man's opinion, Qin Fang was even more disliked than Ye Ming.
However, the two of them were actually fighting now. Moreover, the conflict had escalated again. They even proposed gambling with their lives. Although he was not a member of the Thousand Gates, he knew some of the rules of the front gate, including such an unreasonable rule.
"This is going to be fun. I'd like to see what you're going to do."
Although such a situation was a little out of control, it was something he was very happy to see. A deep smile immediately appeared on his lips, and his attention was focused on Qin Fang.
"Qin Fang …"
Jiang Li, who was originally excited because Qin Fang had won the bet, instantly deified Qin Fang when Ye Ming apologized. However, when Ye Ming crazily requested to gamble with his life, Jiang Li was worried again. He immediately wanted Qin Fang to reject such a crazy challenge.
However … could Qin Fang refuse?
Of course not!
Since Qin Fang had learned the Qian Shu, he was considered a member of the Qian Men. In fact, some members of the Qian Men already knew about his identity. However, the members of the Qian Men were never the kind of people who would gather together. At most, they would have their long-term partners, such as the common Qian Men Eight Generals.
It was also because of this that Qin Fang was considered a member of the Thousand Gates. In the face of such an ancient challenge rule, Qin Fang could not refuse. Otherwise, what welcomed Qin Fang would not be victory, but a series of troubles.
Breaking the rules of the Thousand Gates was just like the Assassin Alliance. They sent out some characters similar to "scavengers". It was not to kill and snatch treasures, but to attack with all kinds of strange techniques. It would definitely cause Qin Fang to be in a terrible state. In serious cases, it would even cause his family to break apart …
This was the outcome of breaking the rules, so Qin Fang could not violate such rules.
Of course, as the one being challenged, Qin Fang was not on the same starting line as Ye Ming. It was true that Ye Ming was gambling with his life, but he was gambling with his own life. It did not mean that Qin Fang had to gamble with his life like him.
He could have many choices. For example, the most common one was to take out something of equivalent value to offset it. If he won, he would be overjoyed. However, if he lost, he would only lose these items of equivalent value.
It was because of the existence of such an old rule to resolve grudges that Qin Fang said that some masters of thousands of techniques ended up in a rather tragic end in the end.
Losing an arm or a hand or foot was considered light because the one who lost in the end might be his own life. Then, it would be really serious.
Although Qin Fang knew such a rule, he really did not expect it to fall on his head. It was really too sudden. He did not expect that Ye Ming was still so young, but he had to use such a method to determine the winner and loser of the two of them.
Just as Ye Ming said, Qin Fang could not refuse. He could only accept the challenge.
If he won, Ye Ming would lose his life!
If he lost, Qin Fang would lose his bet, and then he would have to pay a certain price, such as crippling his own hands and feet, breaking the tendons of his hands and feet, and so on. Although it would not threaten his life, it was still quite a serious bet.
It was also because of such an old rule that no matter who it was, it would be a very serious challenge. Unless it was a last resort, no one would be willing to propose such a challenge.
"Alright, I promise you!"
Qin Fang had no choice but to agree to this condition.
As for his own bet, it was a little simpler. It was just the two million USD from before.
Ye Ming issued such a challenge because of this sum of money. Now, it was only natural for him to use this sum of money as a bet.
"Qin Fang …"
When Ye Ming proposed to gamble with his life, the people present were already a little dumbfounded. Those who could enter this place were not ordinary people. They were either rich merchants or the children of officials. They were all people who cherished their lives very much, but no one cared about their lives like this. Therefore, they instinctively despised Ye Ming, thinking that he was a sore loser.
However, what they did not expect was that Qin Fang seemed to have been hit in the head by a door. He clearly had an absolute advantage, but he just had to agree to such a condition … He was really stupid.
At this moment, Jiang Li was leaning against Qin Fang. When Ye Ming requested to gamble with his life, she was already very angry and really wanted to scold Ye Ming.
However, what she did not expect was that Qin Fang would actually choose to agree to Ye Ming's challenge. This time, Jiang Li was really anxious. Speaking of which, Qin Fang had fallen to such a state entirely because of her. How could she not be anxious?
"Qin Fang … there's no need to do this!"
Not only was Jiang Li anxious, but even Qiao Zhenfei and Li Yang's expressions changed slightly. They immediately walked over to dissuade him.
"You don't understand …"
Qin Fang shook his head and replied to Qiao Zhenfei and the other two.
They were not from the Qian Gate, so they naturally did not know the rules of the Qian Gate. It was impossible for Qin Fang to mention the Qian Gate in public, so it was difficult for him to explain anything.
"What are we betting on? Tell me …"
In order to prevent the three of them from stopping him, Qin Fang directly expressed to Ye Ming.
This was a bet that he could not refuse. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. Just as he had said, with his Thousand Arts and advanced detection skills, the chances of losing were quite low.
"Let's gamble with dice this time!"
Ye Ming did not find Qin Fang's decision strange at all.
Compared to the true Thousand Arts experts of the Qian Gate, he, who had just learned the basics of the Thousand Arts, was easier to deal with. Any rational person would choose Ye Ming as their opponent.
"Dice …"
Hearing this, Qin Fang could not help but frown. It was a very tight frown.
Poker cards were introduced to Long Province from the West. It was not a gambling tool native to Long Province. Therefore, the Qian Gate's Thousand Arts had relatively few skills in poker cards.
However, dice were different. Almost from the day it was born, it was a gambling tool. At the same time, it was also the gambling tool that used the most Qian Gate techniques.
Qin Fang already knew about the Qian Gate illusion, so he naturally had a very simple understanding of it. He also knew that the most common gambling game for this kind of Qian Gate illusion was dice.
It could be said that Ye Ming had the best skills and was the best at gambling, which was the dice.
Qin Fang was not sure how many Qian Gate techniques Ye Ming had learned, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that he had only learned the Qian Gate illusion.
Qian Men had a lot of unique skills, but it was quite difficult to learn every one of them. Even if you only learned one of them, it would be quite amazing if you were to become proficient in it. It would definitely be useful for a lifetime.
The Qian Gate illusion was undoubtedly a very powerful skill among the Qian Gate techniques. It was easy to learn but difficult to master. Being able to pass the Qian Gate illusion could already become an extremely powerful gambling master.
There was no doubt that Ye Ming planned to use his biggest advantage to challenge Qin Fang.
Earlier, Qin Fang had a short fight with him and defeated him in the end. However, he had a little understanding of Qin Fang's Qian Gate technique level.
It was also because of this that Ye Ming had a little confidence. He felt that his chances of winning against Qin Fang were higher. This was a way to perfectly display the Qian Gate illusion, which was much better than the poker cards earlier.
"Alright!"
Although Qin Fang knew that Ye Ming's attainment in dice was definitely much better than his, Qin Fang was fearless. He was not worried that he would lose at all.
Ye Ming had his skills, but Qin Fang also had his own skills that defied nature.
They would only know who was stronger after a real fight. However, Qin Fang was confident that he would be the final winner, just like how he defeated Ye Ming in a domineering manner earlier.
'Your life … is mine!'
Qin Fang looked at Ye Ming who had regained his confidence and thought to himself.
…
Of course, the casino had no shortage of dice. Soon, someone sent the dice over. All of them had passed the test. They were definitely not the kind of fake dice that had mercury added or were hollow. They were all genuine.
"How do you want to gamble?"
There were many ways to gamble in poker, and there were also many ways to gamble with dice. It seemed to be much simpler than poker.
Everyone was familiar with the common dice gambling methods, such as betting on big or small, odd or even, betting on points, and so on … That was the general classification, but in reality, there were many more specific gambling methods.
"Everyone will have 12 dice, betting on points …"
Ye Ming looked at Qin Fang across from him. His expression had returned to normal, and then he said faintly.
Gasp …
Before Qin Fang could react, the crowd below exclaimed first.
Most of the people here were people who liked to gamble. Naturally, they had gambled on dice before. However, they usually gambled on big or small or odd or even odd or even with three dice. Occasionally, some of the more impressive ones would dare to bet on points.
However, that was limited to the situation where the number of dice was relatively small. Through ear training, one could vaguely grasp a certain pattern. Some dice experts were trained this way.
Three dice was not enough, and the difficulty was relatively lower. Hence, there was the more difficult six dice. Most of the people who played this way were rather powerful experts. Ordinary people would not be able to do it. Even if they relied on luck, they would most likely lose badly.
When the six dice collided and spun in the dice cup, the unpredictability was much greater. Even some very powerful gambling experts dared not be sure that they would definitely win.
However, Ye Ming was even more ruthless. He actually doubled the number directly, turning it into 12 dice. The difficulty was not just high, it was quite high. Almost everyone present was so shocked that their mouths were wide open, and they could not close them for a long time.
"Big?
Small? "
Qin Fang did not look too good either. It was quite troublesome to block 12 dice. Although he had learned a thousand skills, his proficiency level was not high, so it could not be of much use. Moreover, he was facing Ye Ming who had learned a thousand illusions.
There were only a few ways to bet on points with dice. Big or small, odd or even specific points.
Betting on specific points could basically be ruled out. With 12 dice, the points could fluctuate from the lowest point of 12 to the highest point of 72. Of course, there might also be some powerful experts who could shake 12 dice into a pillar in the dice cup, which was the lowest point. That way, the range of fluctuating numbers would be even wider. It was almost impossible to guess the specific points. Qin Fang could not do it, and neither could Ye Ming.
It was also impossible to bet on odd or even. It was a 50/50 chance. Qin Fang could completely rely on luck. A 50% hit rate was just too high.
Then, the only thing left was to bet on big or small.
"Small!"
Ye Ming said confidently. At the same time, he added immediately as if he was worried that Qin Fang did not understand, "Let's each roll 12 dice. Whoever gets the lowest point wins …"
As expected!
Almost as soon as Ye Ming said that he wanted to bet on big or small, Qin Fang guessed that it was possible.
The most difficult part of rolling 12 dice was not to get 12 6s. Instead, it was to get a pillar, which was the theoretical minimum point — 1.
"Sure!"
Although Qin Fang's brows were tightly knitted, he nodded and agreed after pondering for a while.
"Are you confident?"
Qin Fang said while smiling calmly as he looked at Ye Ming's confident and proud face.
"Why wouldn't I be confident?
Is it because I've lost to you before?
Then, you've underestimated me!
I forgot to tell you that my master has a nickname. He's called the Dice Demon! "
Qin Fang's psychological tactic did not seem to work. Ye Ming actually pushed it away directly. At the same time, he revealed a piece of information.
"The Dice Demon!"
Qin Fang's heart could not help but skip a beat when he heard that name.
There was no lack of gambling experts in the Thousand Gate Sect. Some of them had abilities that were no weaker than those world-class gambling kings. However, they were not well-known. After all, the Thousand Gate Sect was a heterodox sect after all. They were not orthodox. Most of the people in the Thousand Gate Sect kept a low profile. Even those who were famous in the Thousand Gate Sect did not know that they came from the Thousand Gate Sect.
For example, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Zhang Liang, and even Zhuge Wuhou later on were all famous in history. However, the matter of them coming from the Thousand Gate Sect was almost all guesses of the later generations. They had never mentioned it themselves.
Even if they did not mention it, it did not mean that no one in the Thousand Gate Sect knew about them. Usually, they had their own names in the sect. These people's names were no longer known. However, Ye Ming's master had the nickname of the Dice Demon. It could be seen how profound his skills in dice were. In other words, this person was definitely a top expert in the Thousand Gate Sect's illusion technique.
"12 dice are too few. If we want to play, let's play big. Let's change it to 18, no, let's just 20 …"
Naturally, Ye Ming had left some leeway when he suggested 12 dice. Perhaps his true ability had reached 14, 15, or even 16 dice.
Of course, Qin Fang wouldn't let him have an easy time. He directly added eight more, from twelve to twenty. The difficulty of this was not just a little bit.
With every additional die, the uncertainty would double. Now that 12 dice had become 20 dice, the increase in uncertainty would definitely be more than ten times.
Qin Fang was almost certain that Ye Ming might be able to make a pillar supporting the sky with 12 dice. However, 20 dice … It would not be that easy. If there was a problem with any dice, it would destroy all the other dice. To make a pillar supporting the sky … It was really not that easy. Perhaps Ye Ming's master, the Dice Demon, would be able to do it.
"Alright, 20 dice!"
Ye Ming was silent for a long time. In the end, he nodded.
20 dice had indeed exceeded his limit. However, he had put in a lot of effort in dice. No matter what, he was much better than Qin Fang, who was obviously a newcomer to the Thousand Gate Sect.
He could tell that Qin Fang knew that his advantage in dice was not obvious, so he used increasing the number of dice to attack him.
'Hmph, I'll let you see my true strength!'
Ye Ming secretly decided in his heart. He also wanted to challenge himself to surpass his limit. Only such a challenge would be the greatest motivation for improvement.
