Chapter 521: Chapter 521: The Gambling Skills of Xiao Zheng

"I have no problem,"

Xiao Zheng smiled.

His smile was so leisurely and composed, without a trace of nervousness, and it was so dashingly handsome that it elicited screams from numerous beauties.

This immediately caused dissatisfaction among nearly all the men present, but they couldn’t say anything, who could blame Xiao Zheng for being so handsome?

Honestly, the reason most people here were targeting Xiao Zheng was out of jealousy. Not only did Xiao Zheng have a top beauty like Leng Ruobing by his side, but a casual smile from him could make a whole crowd of women scream, how could one not envy, be jealous, and hate him?

Hillman waved his hand, and a staff member immediately brought over two dice cups, each containing six dice, and placed them before Hillman and Xiao Zheng.

Upon closer inspection, these dice cups were made from the bones of an extremely rare animal, of which there were only a few hundred on Earth, and were several times more valuable than their weight in gold.

The dice themselves were made from the ivory of a wild elephant, shining with a soft glow, looking as precious as fine jade, very beautiful.

"Then I shall begin," Hillman said with a debonair smile, then reached out and placed his hand on the dice cup.

At that moment, he changed completely!

He seemed to become a sovereign, exuding an aura of dominance, with a much sharper look in his eyes. Clearly, in the realm of dice, he was extremely confident!

Only someone with countless victorious records and truly superb skill could possess such a sovereign-like demeanor.

Everyone went quiet.

Not daring to even breathe.

At that time, Hillman’s presence was incredibly oppressive.

Only Xiao Zheng’s face still maintained that lazy yet handsome smile.

As if Hillman’s change in temperament had no effect on him,

This made many secretly curl their lips, thinking that Xiao Zheng was just putting on an act at this time.

Rustle rustle rustle.

Soon, a crisp sound arose as Hillman picked up the dice cup and started shaking it.

His movements were like art, reaching an ultimate level of grace.

The dice cup followed the mysterious trajectories in the air with his arm movements, continuously shifting. And during this process, the dice cup even emitted very crisp sounds. All of this mixed together, was like a majestic Martial Arts display, lavish and dazzling.

Everyone watched, mesmerized.

Bang!

Only when the loud bang echoed at the end did they awaken.

It turned out Hillman had finished shaking, and the dice cup was now turned upside down on the table.

With a calm and composed smile on his face, he waited until everyone’s attention focused on the dice cup, their anticipation reaching a climax, before he slightly smiled and gently lifted the cup.

And then.

There were exclamations.

Almost everyone couldn’t believe their eyes, gasping sharply, some even cried out.

It was...

A pillar reaching for the sky!

The six dice were neatly stacked on top of each other, like a column piercing the heavens, emitting an incredibly sharp and intimidating aura.

Moreover, the topmost dice displayed a one-point facing upward!

"This... to roll such a legendary result, I really opened my eyes today,"

"Indeed, you know, such a pillar reaching for the sky is the most difficult one among dice games!"

"Mr. Hillman is indeed a disciple of the Gambling Saint, a true genius in the art of gambling,"

Everyone was in awe, sucking in breaths of cold air in admiration.

"You come and take down these dice," Hillman said with a reserved smile before instructing the staff member beside him.

The staff member paused, but still followed Hillman’s instruction, reaching out to take the first dice down.

Immediately, everyone’s eyes widened once again!

The second die, unbelievably, was also a "one"!

"This..."

Everyone seemed to realize something and at this moment, they all held their breath, their eyes fixed unwaveringly on that die.

The staff member, with trembling hands, picked up the second die to reveal the face-up side of the third die.

It was another "one"!

At this point, everyone finally gasped in astonishment.

Could it be that for this Pillar to the Heavens, every die has a face-up side of one?

How could this be possible?

If it could be done, to what extent would Hillman’s gambling skills be considered formidable?

That staff member, at this time, successively picked up the third, fourth, and fifth dice, and with each movement, there was another synchronized gasp of astonishment.

Because every die was face up!

At last.

Boom!

The crowd erupted.

This was too miraculous, too unbelievable!

Pillar to the Heavens! Six dice, every face-up side, was a one!

They had never seen, nor even heard of, such a miraculous situation.

Just then, Hillman turned his head to look at Xiao Zheng.

"Sir, it’s your turn," he said.

The crowd also turned their attention to Xiao Zheng, their faces full of sympathy.

How could this game continue?

It was unwinnable!

What Hillman had just rolled was the lowest possible outcome, could Xiao Zheng possibly roll something even lower? Impossible!

At best, a tie.

But was a tie possible?

It was clear to anyone with a shred of common sense that it was utterly impossible; how could a nobody, coming from who knows where, compete with such a divinely skilled gambler? He was surely bound to lose miserably.

Leng Ruobing herself shook her head.

She sighed.

This time, it was a certain loss.

However, she didn’t feel any loss; she just worried Xiao Zheng might not be able to take it. She had brought Xiao Zheng along hoping he could unwind a little, but never expected him to endure such humiliation while trying to stand up for her.

And facing all this.

Facing those eyes filled with sympathy, ridicule, or mockery, Xiao Zheng smiled.

Remarkably composed and at ease.

"Well, I might as well give it a go then," he said, picking up the dice cup.

The crowd was taken aback.

Immediately, their gaze towards Xiao Zheng was filled with disdain, shaking their heads involuntarily. In this no-win situation, he still stubbornly clung to his pride to roll the dice. This was not tenacity but a lack of self-awareness.

In the end, he would face the greatest humiliation.

If Xiao Zheng conceded now, they might respect him for being brave enough to acknowledge defeat.

But Xiao Zheng did not.

So the crowd deemed Xiao Zheng to be just an ignorant little man, all looking down on him, with even some of the ladies and gentlewomen showing blatant disappointment in their eyes.

Yet Xiao Zheng, indifferent to all this, picked up the dice and began to shake them.
