Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 45: Admitting Defeat
“Are you scared? If you are afraid, why don't you admit defeat directly? “Long Zhenglin's words earlier suddenly caught Zhang Yongjin's attention as he quickly pointed his muzzle at Long Zhenglin, mocking and mocking him.
“Ha, that's tantamount to flirting. Just a few words from Grandmaster Jia and you are already satisfied and arrogant. You really don't know about your own class! ”
“Jahe elder is more spicier than the young one, Grandmaster Jia is really amazing.”
Xue Renfei and Hu Wanjun looked at Tang Xiu with faces filled with mocking expressions.
But Tang Xiu turned a deaf ear to Zhang Yongjin and the other scorn. He and Jia Ruidao looked at each other and then they took the dice cup and swung it.
Although Tang Xiu had yet to speak, his actions conveyed countless words.
As Tang Xiu began to sway and shake the dice cup, Zhang Yongjin, Hu Wanjun and Xue Renfei seemed to have their necks grabbed. They no longer said anything as their smiles froze. Their awkward expressions turned even more embarrassing.
With their identities, had they bumped into Tang Xiu on the road, they would have been reluctant to even glance at him.
But now, it was they who took the initiative to talk to Tang Xiu, while Tang Xiu ignored them. Basically this is a slap on their face, and it makes them clench their teeth in a bad mood.
However, they cannot do anything, as the rules of gambling prohibit them. They could only wallow and drown in a sour, bitter, and aggrieved feeling.
Jia Ruidao looked at Tang Xiu with appreciation as she also picked up the dice cup and started shuffling it.
The room became quiet and silent in an instant. Only leaving the sound of dice colliding with each other in a dice cup.
Once, it was like the sun illuminating the sky. Other times, it's like a storm during stormy weather.
One time, it was quiet and quiet. Next time, it turns chaotic.

Along with the wrists of Jia Ruidao and Tang Xiu who were vibrating and shaking, the room was filled with the sound of dice. Sometimes the sound explodes in a hurry, sometimes slowly, and sometimes lightly. While some become heavy. Everyone's hearts also fluctuated, reflected by the tense expressions on their faces.
Jia Ruidao and Tang Xiu tightly locked their gazes in each other's eyes. They did not pay attention to the dice cup in their hands.
When everyone in the room was about to suffocate, a muffled “bang” sound was heard twice. Jia Ruidao and Tang Xiu placed their dice cups on the table.
“You first, or me first?” Jia Ruidao looked at Tang Xiu with a smile and asked.
“Grandmaster Jia first.” Tang Xiu sent a letting posture as he spoke in a respectful tone.
Although the two of them had just fought, but in reality, it was an exchange. The two of them, in the end, even entered the realm of mutual assistance.
After this match, not only had they deepened their understanding and become familiar with each other, but they had also forged a deep friendship. It is like the saying that talented people are able to acknowledge each other's talents.
After hearing Tang Xiu's words, a deep expression appeared on Jia Ruidao's face.
“4 points .. ah no, 6 points.” After pondering for a long time, Jia Ruidao said a figure. But he instantly changed the number when he said the number, while a strange expression appeared on his face.
Seeing clearly Jia Ruidao's reaction with their eyes, Zhang Deqin and the others couldn't help but be shocked and worried.
Zhang Deqin and the others had an almost fanatical worship and belief in Jia Ruidao's gambling abilities. They have also witnessed his legendary gambling skills. But never once did they expect that Jia Ruidao would actually go through such difficult times while gambling.
But now, they could see that Jia Ruidao was hesitating. Moreover, the person Jia Ruidao was facing right now, was only an outsider, a green novice gambler. This unexpected situation made them agape.
“Grandmaster Jia, are you really sure about it? You don't want to change anymore? “Tang Xiu did not immediately open the dice cup but asked with a brooding expression.
“KAMU .. I will not change!” Jia Ruidao almost choked and fainted when she heard Tang Xiu's words. He thought that Tang Xiu was arrogant and rude, causing anger to surge deep in his heart.
“Grandmaster Jia, I'm sorry, but your guess was wrong.” Tang Xiu really wanted to give Jia Ruidao another chance. But he was afraid that it would hurt Jia Ruidao's ego. Therefore, he opened the dice cup in a natural and relaxed manner.
When Tang Xiu opened the dice cup, Jia Ruidao's facial skin instantly turned pale as her body trembled for a while.
Because the 6 dice in Tang Xiu's dice cup were arranged into pillars. Only the dice above show points, as the rest are covered.
According to the rules of the dice game, if the dice are stacked and overlapped, then you only need to count the points on the top dice. So, in this case, the impressive stack point for Tang Xiu's dice was 4, because it was the topmost dice point.
In other words, when Jia Ruidao guessed the point, his first guess was correct. But he was wrong on the second guess and insisted on choosing the second, wrong guess.
“This old man has had ups and downs in every aspect of gambling over the years. Except losing a match early in my learning career, never once have I met an equal opponent in these 10 years in Shuangqing Province. But today, this old man truly understood the meaning of the saying that the younger generation would eventually surpass the old one. ”After seeing Tang Xiu for a very long time, Jia Ruidao then turned around and left.
“Ah, Grandmaster Jia, please don't go. We don't know the outcome of the game yet. ”
“Grandmaster Jia, please wait! You are not necessarily lost. ”
****
Zhang Deqin and Zhang Yongjin were the first to catch up to him and hurriedly spoke up to defend him. Hu Wanjun hesitated for a moment before he also chased after. Only Xue Renfei went and stared at Jia Ruidao's dice cup that had yet to be settled, for fear that Tang Xiu and his people would open and peek into it.
In the end, Zhang Deqin and the others still failed to make Jia Ruidao stay. In fact, the moment Jia Ruidao turned around and left, Zhang Deqin knew that she was unable to defend it because she was well aware that Jia Ruidao's character was extremely stubborn. Once he decided something, it was highly unlikely that he would change his decision.
Returning feeling depressed to the room, Zhang Deqin and the other 3 saw that the dice cup had not been opened. They froze for a moment before their eyes turned bright in the next moment.
Gambling is not over?
Doesn't that mean they haven't lost?
For a moment, the depressed and frustrated expressions on Zhang Deqin and the other faces disappeared as they instantly became excited.
“Chief Long, do you think the Gambling Master you invited can guess the dice points in the dice cup?” Zhang Deqin's eyes fell onto Tang Xiu's face for a moment as he then immediately sneered.
Although Zhang Deqin also slightly acknowledged Tang Xiu's gambling skills, but he still believed that Tang Xiu's gambling skills were impossible to surpass Jia Ruidao's. Therefore, her words and attitude towards Tang Xiu still did not have the proper respect.
“3 points.” When Zhang Deqin had just finished speaking, Tang Xiu immediately replied without thinking.
After hearing Tang Xiu's reply, Zhang Deqin couldn't help but feel that a portion of his life force was sucked in.
With a nodding signal from Zhang Deqin, Xue Renfei slowly found the dice cup, as the dice were then revealed.
It was different from Tang Xiu's dice overlapping into one pile. Jiang Ruidao dice are divided into 3 stacks with each consisting of 2 overlapping dice. Only the top dice show points, and all of them are 1 point each.
When everyone in the room saw Jia Ruidao's dice points, they were instantly shocked.
“W-Won! We win! Brother, are you looking now? WE WON! “Long Zhenglin was the first one who couldn't contain her excitement as she cheered loudly,” I said that Eldest Brother can do it! Now, you're gonna really believe in me, aren't you? ”
Happiness also covered Long Zhengyu's face. But he did not lose his manners because of the excitement. He looked at Zhang Deqin calmly and calmly as he then spoke softly, “Chairman Zhang, will we deduce the outcome of our gambling?”
“Head Long, you can rest assured that since you have won the gamble, the exploitation and development rights for the Walled Village are yours. In addition, as part of the ownership, within 10 days, we will transfer 10% of our equity shares for Skylane Commercial District to you. ”Zhang Deqin pursed her lips and thought deeply for a moment, before she immediately smiled and admitted her defeat. frankly.
Although the Zhang Family had strong strength in Shuangqing Province, the strength of the Long Family was also very strong. Moreover, the potential of the younger generation of the Long Family was stronger than them. If his family really insisted on dealing with the Long Family, this was the same as killing 1,000 enemies with 800 casualties. Thus, the profit will not make up for the loss.
It is true that when family companies have progressed to a certain stage, they will be intertwined and chained to each other in some relationship of interest and benefit. Thus, it is impossible to have bloody struggles and conflicts with all his might. This was also the real reason why Zhang Deqin had not fully attempted in all possible ways to obtain the building rights of the Walled Hill Village. He preferred to choose this honest and open approach to fight for it through gambling with Long Zhengyu.
But, since it was gambling, he naturally had to take off his bets. The Long Family's bet was to withdraw and withdraw from the competition in obtaining the building rights of the Walled Hill Village. As for the Zhang Family, they had to transfer 10% of their Skylane Commercial District shares as shares.
“On behalf of my father, this Long apologized and thanked Head Zhang.” Long Zhengyu was relieved after he heard Zhang Deqin's words.
Although the Zhang Family was the majority shareholder of the Skylane Commercial District, however, the Zhang Family only accounted for 35% of the total shares of the Skylane Commercial District. Other shares are in the hands of several other shareholders.
The Long Family's plan to build the Skylane Commercial District was to build a Culinary District. But because they have insufficient funds, they invite too many shareholders to the point that their movement in dealing with problems is stifled, which resulted in a slower settlement for the overall layout of the Skylane Commercial District.
Since the Zhang Family had now transferred 10% of the shares, although the Long Family was still unable to fully control the ownership of the Skylane Commercial District, the, but the strength of the Long Family regarding the Skylane Commercial District had undoubtedly increased a lot. As long as Long Family released a press conference on this news, they would easily acquire the shares held by the small owner.
“You don't need to be polite. Chief Long should thank yourself in finding a good Gambling Master. ”Zhang Deqin replied in an indifferent manner as her eyes then looked at Tang Xiu with a complicated expression.
As for the trio of Zhang Yongjin, Hu Wanjun, and Xue Renfei, they were still dumbfounded ever since the dice cup had been opened.
In the eyes of this trio, Tang Xiu was just a rude and savage hick. Despite his brute strength, he was worthless.
But after being folded repeatedly in Tang Xiu's hands, only now did they finally realize that this was not the root of the case.
Especially after seeing Tang Xiu demonstrate formidable gambling skills, their minds flickered and could not be conscious for a very long time.
Originally, this trio also intended to find someone to investigate Tang Xiu's identity after today, and then slowly clean up Tang Xiu afterward. But when Tang Xiu managed to help the Long Family win the gamble, they really knew that it was almost impossible to take revenge against Tang Xiu so easily.
Although Long Zhengyu looked friendly and calm on the surface and did not seem to have any bad emotions, however, Zhang Yongjin, Hu Wanjun, did, and Xue Renfei was well aware that Long Zhengyu was previously the first famous young master of Shuangqing Province. For whom did they start? Not to mention Long Zhengyu was the type of person who deeply thanked and appreciated friendship. Since Tang Xiu had helped Long Zhengyu, it was impossible for Long Zhengyu to just watch and let Tang Xiu be bullied, and become indifferent to him.
