Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 43: Looks and Shapes Might Be Similar, But The Soul is Different
Although it was the first time Tang Xiu had shaken the dice, but his memorization and learning abilities were incredible.
Tang Xiu had just observed and imitated Jia Ruidao's movements carefully in shuffling the dice cup, so that he would imitate Jia Ruidao's technique.
At first, Tang Xiu's imitation movements of Jia Ruidao's movements and techniques were still slow and slow. But gradually he became more skilled, as if his movements and techniques were almost a replica of the original Jia Ruidao movement.
“K-You ..” Jia Ruidao initially paid no attention to Tang Xiu's movements and techniques in shuffling the dice because it was different from hers. But when she knew that Tang Xiu's movements and techniques were becoming increasingly familiar, she couldn't help but scream.
Jia Ruidao has spent over 30 years analyzing and refining her own unique skill set. Only then could he gradually master this technique. But Tang Xiu only needed to observe his unique skill and was able to replicate up to 70%, which made Jia Ruidao even suspect whether the three decades he spent contemplating this technique were really futile or not.
Although Jia Ruidao also accepted some disciples and also taught them his unique skills, but he was very confident that even his disciple would not be able to learn his unique skills completely. Moreover, some young masters were fine.
However, watching the stranger suddenly show his own unique skill in front of him, an indescribable feeling filled Jia Ruidao's heart. Even words can't really convey his feelings.
“This child is just an outsider, and clearly has recently been in contact with the community. But he has a strong perception. If I accept it as an apprentice, doesn't that mean I will have a successor to pass on My inheritance? “Suddenly, a thought appeared within Jia Ruidao's mind and began to fill his mind fully.
At this moment, Jia Ruidao's attitude towards Tang Xiu changed when she saw that Tang Xiu had become more pleasant in her eyes.
Although Tang Xiu was only wearing simple and simple clothes, but the clothes were clean and orderly. His black hair specifically exuded an excited feeling, with a pair of bright and excited eyes. His tall nose, thin lips, his tall and straight stature exuded a sort of graceful and attractive feeling.
When the others heard Jia Ruidao's cry, they were confused.
Others do not know that every gambler always has their own unique skills. In the eyes of the people, all the movements of the dice trembled the same. They had not really memorized Jia Ruidao's movements before. Therefore, they did not know that Tang Xiu's movements and techniques in shuffling dice were very similar to those of Jia Ruidao.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu bent the dice cup in his hand on the table as beads of sweat seeped from his forehead. At the same time, a tired expression was also revealed on his face, mixed with a hint of nervousness and anxiety.
Although Tang Xiu had tried his best and had also digested and absorbed nearly 90% of Jia Ruidao's unique skills. But many things can only be accumulated with time and experience, rather than learning and imitating.
The dice-shaking move that Tang Xiu had made was a completely copy of Jia Ruidao's technique. But he did not have the means to learn the technique of distinguishing the ears to know the dice numbers in a dice cup.
The reason why Tang Xiu shook the dice longer than Jia Ruidao, on the one hand, was of course to investigate the feeling of the dice-shaking sensation, so that he could be more skilled in executing the technique. While on the other hand, it was because he was trying to listen to the sound of the dice rolling inside the dice cup, as he tried to confirm the dice number through the changes and the subtle sound of it.
“Open! You have to open it! Once the cup dice have been bent on the table, the result is already decided. Even if you don't open, you can't change the dice number. “After seeing that Tang Xiu pressed the dice cup and seemed unwilling to open it, Zhang Yongjin said with an anxious expression.
Tang Xiu ignored Zhang Yongjin. He wiped away the sweat flowing in the corner of his eyes, and then slowly opened the dice cup.
Anxiety and nervousness covered Tang Xiu's face as he opened the dice cup. Even his right hand that was holding the dice cup was slightly shaking.
“Hahaha, 1 point. Only 1 point. You can really kill me with laughter. With this holy luck, I might go out to buy a lottery ticket. “Zhang Yongjin couldn't help but laugh when Tang Xiu actually opened the dice cup.
When Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun heard this, they couldn't help but also let out ridicule and mock him, as Zhang Deqin and Jia Ruidao involuntarily felt relieved.
Previously, Zhang Deqin and Jia Ruidao were also worried that Tang Xiu was some sort of personal gambling lord, so the gambling house this time could be flipped into a hole.
But the anxiety in their hearts instantly disappeared the moment Tang Xiu opened the dice cup. Their hearts seemed to have been loosened a lot.
“Am I losing?” When Tang Xiu saw that little red dot, a touch of frustration flashed in his eyes.
“Sister Tang, it's okay. Don't be discouraged. We still have 2 more chances. ”Although Long Zhengyu was also discouraged, but he could see that Tang Xiu had really tried. There was no tone of blame or accusation in her words as she comforted Tang Xiu from the side in a soft voice.
“First Brother, do not be discouraged, the person who will eventually win is you.” Long Zhenglin also added with a face full of confidence.
Upon seeing that Long Zhengyu and Long Zhenglin were still trusting Tang Xiu at this moment, a puzzled expression appeared in Zhang Deqin's eyes as she couldn't help but observe Tang Xiu's face.
But Zhang Yongjin's trio, as usual, couldn't help but continue to ridicule and mock him.
“Male sister, can we continue?” Jia Ruidao looked at Tang Xiu for a moment as she then smiled and asked.
“Grandmaster Jia, please!” When Tang Xiu heard the change in speech and tone from Jia Ruidao, he was startled first and then immediately changed his speech towards Jia Ruidao.
This time, Jia Ruidao's dice-shaking movements were extremely slow as he only reduced a lot of fancy and unnecessary movements. The dice in the dice cup suddenly produced a sound.
When Tang Xiu heard it, his eyes shone as he subconsciously looked at Jia Ruidao and discovered that Jia Ruidao was winking at him, and saw the appreciative expression of his eyes. Tang Xu immediately understood Jia Ruidao's intentions as he expressed his good intentions to her.
The second gambling session is much more difficult than the first.
In the first gambling, ****** dice are only 1. But for the second session, the number of dice put into the dice cup increased to 3.
Distinguishing the sound produced by 1 dice is easy, but the difficulty is raised 3 times more to distinguish the sound produced by 3 dice.
Had it been someone else, they would not have been able to listen and distinguish dice numbers through the sound of rolling dice. It was even more unlikely to be able to see through the dice cup control technique to identify the dice number. They could only shake the dice cup for a few times before bending it on the table and then submit to the will of heaven for their luck.
However, Jia Ruidao was no ordinary person. He is a professional gambler. His professional conduct and ethics did not allow him to be careless and quarrelsome. Therefore, he was very serious in listening to and distinguishing the rolling dice and the sound of their collision. While he simultaneously also controlled the dice numbers with the technique of vibrating skills.
But Jia Ruidao did not immediately put down the dice cup this time, and instead observed the changes on Tang Xiu's face.
When Jia Ruidao discovered that Tang Xiu's face looked calm and serene, a relaxed expression was also revealed on his face as he put down the dice cup.
Jia Ruidao raised the dice cup as the last point of the 3 dice was shown. That's an impressive 5, 5, 6, for a total of 16 dice points.
Upon seeing that Jia Ruidao did not score 18 points, a touch of anxiety and anxiety appeared on Zhang Deqin's expression, as Zhang Yongjin's trio also looked anxious.
But when they remembered that Tang Xiu was just a green gambler, they immediately relaxed.
Although Grandmaster Jia did not earn full points, but it was not too far away. Tang Xiu could only rely on his luck to determine the numbers, whereas the possibility of obtaining the full points was too low. Zhang Deqin and the others did not believe that Tang Xiu would earn full points by relying on luck.
Just as in the saying, “Step back for a step before advancing forward to 10,000 steps”, it could also mean that even if Grandmaster Jia loses to Tang Xiu, it could also mean that, both sides will only be tied, and there is still a third match to decide the outcome of the gambling house. But still, Tang Xiu could not rely on his luck to win against Grandmaster Jia twice, could he?
After he nodded towards Jia Ruidao, Tang Xiu also took the dice cup with the dice, and then started his second game.
Through the first session of adaptation and training, Tang Xiu's dice-shaking movements had clearly become more skilled and much faster. So he now focused on listening and distinguishing the sound produced by the dice changes inside the dice cup.
Everyone was shocked for a moment when Tang Xiu put down the dice cup. It was because Tang Xiu had only wiggled her for a moment.
“Hey boy, you can't give up, right?” Recalling how Jia Ruidao took a full 5 minutes to shake the dice cup and roll the dice, and Tang Xiu only needed one minute, Zhang Yongjin of course did not think that Tang Xiu's gambling skills were stronger than Jia Ruidao's. But she thought that Tang Xiu already did not want to continue the action and stopped.
“Grandmaster Jia's strength already made him intimidated. If he did not give up, he would be at the point of death, heh. ”
“Brat, you finally have your own knowledge eh. Your gambling skills are much inferior to masters. Even if you shake the dice cup longer, it is useless. You may also rely on your luck. ”
“Better to finish this game as soon as this, so we don't need to waste more time.”
When the trio of Xue Renfei, Hu Wanjun, and Zhang Yongjin saw Tang Xiu's action, they froze for a moment, before they then subconsciously ridiculed him.
In the next moment, everyone's eyes turned around when Zhang Deqin, Zhang Yongjin's face flushed red while Xue Renfei, Hu Wanjun, and Jia Ruidao's eyes were filled with an expression of disbelief.
Because when Tang Xiu opened the dice cup in an instant, the dice figures were already shown in front of everyone.
5, 6, 6, for a total of 17 points. It was one point higher than Jia Ruidao with 16 points earlier.
“We won! Did we really win? ”Although Long Zhengyu comforted Tang Xiu earlier, in reality, he already did not hold much hope in Tang Xiu. But he comforted himself because of his long-standing etiquette and the way of self-control he had long developed, because he chose to comfort him and not to blame and accuse him.
“First Brother, I know you can do it. Brother, do you believe in me now? ”The first half of Long Zhenglin's sentence was aimed at Tang Xiu, while the other half was directed at Long Zhengyu. At this moment, Long Zhenglin danced with an excited expression, like a child.
After confirming it repeatedly, as well as making sure that his eyes did not disappoint him when he saw the dice figure in front of Tang Xiu, he was sure to not let him down, Long Zhengyu finally woke up from his great shock as he clenched his fists and then grabbed his sister with excited tears in his eyes.
It was because the Walled Hill Village project was too important for Long Zhengyu. He had to firmly step on this first step as this was directly related to Long Zhengyu's entire life plan. Therefore, he had racked his brain for this project for almost 3 years to make it happen.
Had the project suddenly been cut off, Long Zhengyu really did not know if he could face failure or not. This was why he had actually begged for help everywhere, and also the reason he had finally chosen to trust the words of his younger brother and invited outsiders to help with this matter.
“Your luck is really good. But I can't believe you can win next time. “After a long silence, Zhang Yongjin spoke with a sour expression.
But this time, Zhang Yongjin's tone of voice was clearly different from his previous bold speech. Also, no one was echoing her anymore, as the others were also still immersed in their astonishment and had yet to awaken from the shock Tang Xiu gave her with 17 points of the dice.
