“Let’s take another gamble!” Ma Baoshan, the leader, shouted.
Li Xiaoran originally didn’t want to agree, but when she saw Ma Baoshan, she suddenly sensed something and changed her mind.
“Sure, I can bet with you guys again. I can even bet all the money I won today, but what can you bet?”
Ma Baoshan was overjoyed to hear Li Xiaoran’s words.
He believed that Li Xiaoran must be an expert at cheating. That was why the people in the casino didn’t discover her tricks and she won everyone’s money.
If he helped everyone win back this money today, he would definitely become famous in the gambling world.
Thinking of this, Ma Baoshan took out a jade pendant from his pocket.
“This is the Ma family’s heirloom, Sheep Jade. It’s priceless. There’s no problem with using it as a bet, right?!”
As Li Xiaoran looked at the Sheep Jade, she thought about it for a moment before saying, “It’s just that this one isn’t enough. Since you’re the one who challenged me, I want to add another item. If you win, I’ll give you all this money. If I win, other than this Sheep Jade, I want you to do something else! Don’t worry, I won’t let you kill, burn, or hurt anyone!”
After Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he looked up and sized up the man in front of him.
She wondered what was so special about this kid that Li Xiaoran was actually willing to gamble with all her money!
Not to mention Luo Cheng, even Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe were curious!
Wu Qinghe sized up the kid in front of him with a frown.
“This kid isn’t a good person! Brother, why don’t you stop him?!”
Hearing this, Luo Cheng looked at Ma Baoshan and then at Li Xiaoran before shaking his head.
“Since she wants to do it, let her do it! Just wait and see! This matter isn’t that simple!”
Since Luo Cheng had said so, the other two couldn’t say anything else.
Li Xiaoran looked at Ma Baoshan and urged, “How is it? Have you thought it through? If you don’t agree, I’ll leave now!”
“I’ll bet with you! But I’ll decide how to gamble!” Ma Baoshan immediately agreed when he saw that Li Xiaoran was really about to leave. Seeing that the other party had agreed, Li Xiaoran immediately smiled.
“Alright! Tell me, how will we gamble?”
After Ma Baoshan thought about it for a moment, he said,
“It’s always these same old methods. How boring. Why don’t we try something new today? I remember there’s an ant nest in this courtyard. Previously, I noticed that ants were crawling everywhere. Why don’t we ask someone to shovel and guess how many ants there are? Whoever guesses the closest will win!”
This was the fairest method Ma Baoshan could think of.
No one could cheat this way. They could only rely on luck!
Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and asked, “Then how can you guarantee that these ants will stay there obediently and wait for us to count before crawling away?
“That’s simple. Just sprinkle a handful of powder and make the ants faint!” Ma Baoshan said, “It just so happens that I have medicine in my hand that can make the ant faint. After five minutes, the ants will wake up again. We won’t kill them!”
Tney ala as tney said. A group or people Invitea tne manager or tne casino over.
The person who came from the casino was none other than Hu Xi, whom Li Xiaoran had met before.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran realized that Hu Xi was the manager of this casino.
Today’s bet between Li Xiaoran and Ma Baoshan could be considered a grand event for the casino.
In addition,Li Xiaoran was a newcomer who had won a lot of money as soon as she arrived today.
Therefore, Hu Xi naturally came to join in the fun.
This gamble attracted the attention of many people.
Many people came over to join in the fun.
After lighting the torch, Ma Baoshan brought Hu Xi to a corner in the courtyard outside the casino.
Li Xiaoran naturally followed.
Sure enough, in one place, a group of ants was crawling out of the soil.
Ma Baoshan threw a handful of powder in and gestured for Hu Xi to shovel in. The shovel was shoveled into a large white porcelain plate along with the mud and ants.
Soon after, Hu Xi closed the lid and brought the things to them.
While Hu Xi was shoveling ants, Ma Baoshan had already taken a few steps back and came to Li Xiaoran’s side, indicating that he hadn’t cheated.
Then, the group of people returned to the casino with the plate of ants.
At this moment, no one knew how many ants were on this plate. The two sides stood still. Hu Xi stood in the middle of them with a plate.
“Now, the two of you can guess!” Hu Xi said.
After Ma Baoshan thought abou it for a moment, he looked at Li Xiaoran.
“Why don’t you go first?”
Li Xiaoran ignored Ma Baoshan and kept staring at the plate.
The onlookers said anxiously, “If you can’t afford to lose, don’t gamble. Hurry up and guess the quant.i.ty! Even if you keep staring at this plate, you won’t be able to tell how many ants there are on it! ”
The climax was about to come, but why was this kid still dragging it on?
Ma Baoshan also looked at Li Xiaoran and mocked, “What? Are you afraid?” Li Xiaoran continued to ignore him and kept staring at the plate.
Just as everyone was getting impatient, a gambler lost his patience with Li Xiaoran and wanted to beat her up.
How could Luo Cheng let such a person bully Li Xiaoran? He grabbed the man’s arm and threw him far away.
“If you can’t afford to gamble, don’t come to the casino. If you can’t afford to lose, don’t gamble. If you hit someone after you lose, you’re really embarra.s.sing us men!”
Although the gambler was angry about the loss, after being thrown to the ground by Luo Cheng and feeling the pain, he became more clear-headed.
Realizing that the person in front of him wasn’t someone he could provoke, the gambler could only get up silently and stand in the distance to watch without daring to approach again.
Seeing that the other party was already intimidated, Luo Cheng glanced at the surrounding onlookers.
Everyone who had been reminded by Luo Cheng felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had been targeted by something terrifying.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran said,
“There are a total of 78 ants on this plate!”
As soon as she said this, Ma Baoshan smiled.
“Since you say there are seventy-eight, I guess there are only seventy-seven!”
