Chapter 128: I Bet with You
Very quickly, the group arrived in a VIP private room.
At this moment, inside the VIP room was a long table covered with a green cloth, on which was written the betting options: Big, Small, Leopard.
As expected, this VIP room was exclusively for dice games.
There are actually many ways to play dice games.
After all, while the general rules are similar, there are regional differences that make the gameplay somewhat different.
In Tianhai City, the way to play dice is: a dealer rolls the dice, everyone else bets on big or small, or a leopard.
In this VIP room, there is an advantage compared to the main hall outside; the odds here are higher.
Here, the odds are one to three, while in the main hall, they're one to one.
Of course, while entering this VIP room offers high odds, the minimum bet here is higher than outside. The minimum bet here must be ten thousand, whereas in the main hall, any amount is acceptable, even as low as one dollar.
But, after all, one dollar isn't typically wagered.
So gradually, the minimum bet in the hall became one hundred.
Honestly, most people playing in the hall are there just for fun, a bit of entertainment.
But those who enter these VIP rooms are high-stakes gamblers.
So in these VIP rooms, if your luck isn't good, you could lose everything.
However, there are also those who get rich overnight, though they are very few, because in gambling, someone is always in control, and the biggest winner is always the house owner.
At this time, Yuwen Wuji brought Xiao Di to the upper section of the table and confidently told the dealer, "I've taken over this room, tell them to leave immediately."
Hearing this, the four people who were playing inside initially wanted to ask who was bold enough to tell them to leave.
But when they looked up, they realized it was the young master of the Yuwen Family.
So, the next moment, they didn't dare to say anything and, without a word, sensibly left the room immediately.
After a short time, only Yuwen Wuji, Xiao Di, Zhu Bufan, Wen Yang, and the female dealer remained in the VIP room.
At this moment, the female dealer didn't show any signs of panic. She watched calmly without saying anything, even when Yuwen Wuji said he had taken over the room. She remained unfazed.
This puzzled Zhu Bufan, as typically, a disturbance in her operation would be reported to the boss immediately. But she stood there with a calm smile.
Why was this?
Could it be that Yuwen Wuji had done this kind of thing before?
However, this wasn't Zhu Bufan's concern right now, so he didn't speak.
In this VIP room, the duel was actually just between Zhu Bufan and Yuwen Wuji.
There are two ways for them to duel.
One way is to let the female dealer roll the dice, and both parties guess whether it's big or small, then bet. If the guess is right, the other's bet is won.
The other way uses two sets of dice, rolled by both parties, with bets placed beforehand. The higher roll wins, but this method has a higher chance of cheating.
Both ways are common in Tianhai City, and Zhu Bufan had heard of them.
When Yuwen Wuji came in and asked the female dealer to leave with the four others, he clearly chose the first method.
The first method can also end in a tie.
Since it's a guessing game, there's a chance both could guess correctly.
When a tie happens, there are two solutions.
One is if one party can accurately call the dice roll, they take all the stakes. If wrong, the stake goes to the opponent.
The other is to call it a draw and move to the next round.
Of course, a dice reveal is done if one party refuses to raise the bet.
Now, the VIP room has been cleared.
Yuwen Wuji somehow found a cigar, lit it, took a drag, and then said,
"So, now that the room is cleared, shall we start?"
At this moment, Yuwen Wuji's demeanor was like a gambling god from a TV show.
Seeing this, Wen Yang gave him a contemptuous look and sat down beside him.
"Wen Yang, what do you mean by this? Were you planning not to gamble with me? Fine, you think you're playing me, huh? Well, Wen Yang, you can just go to hell!" Seeing Wen Yang not sit opposite him, Yuwen Wuji shouted.
The next moment, he moved to attack Wen Yang.
However, Zhu Bufan then sat opposite Yuwen Wuji, revealing a slight smile, and said to the female dealer, "Roll the dice!"
"Who are you?" Seeing this, Yuwen Wuji seemed intrigued. "What, you're gambling on behalf of Wen Yang?"
"Heh, I am Zhu Bufan. Yes, this time, I'll gamble for my brother Wen Yang with you. Can we start now, Mr. Yuwen?"
Zhu Bufan maintained a smile.
"Heh, Wen Yang, I didn't expect you'd have help. But do you think this will let you win me today? Let me tell you, Wen Yang, you underestimate me, Yuwen Wuji! So you're Zhu Bufan? Fine, you want to gamble with me, let's begin!"
Yuwen Wuji said.
However, at this time, the door to the VIP room suddenly swung open.
