I run a casino in the immortal realm.

The gambling den wasn't very big, about 200 square meters, but it had two floors.

There are three tables on the first floor. The largest table is for rolling dice to guess the size of the dice. This is the most popular game, with about fifty or sixty people gathered around it.

Similar to the Blue Star dice game, two dice are placed in a special cup and saucer and shaken up and down twice, allowing gamblers to guess whether the dice are big or small.

The only difference is that these dice, cups, and saucers are engraved with arrays and restrictions to prevent cultivators from using spiritual power to change the dice or using their divine sense to probe the numbers on the dice.

After all, this is a world of cultivation, where cultivators possess great supernatural powers, capable of manipulating objects with their qi and using their divine sense to see through things.

Of course, cultivators who can control objects with their qi must be at least at the seventh level of qi cultivation, while only foundation-building cultivators can develop divine consciousness.

Therefore, high-level Qi Refining cultivators are unlikely to appear in this gambling den of a Qi Refining family, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators, because the transactions here are mainly in spirit coins, while they spend spirit stones. It's not on the same level, and they wouldn't bother with the meager sums here.

The second table is for dice rolling and comparing sizes. In this game, the dealer and the gamblers each roll two dice and then compare sizes.

The gambling table is divided into six squares. The dealer occupies one square, while the dealer occupies five squares. This means that the dealer and five other gamblers are simultaneously rolling dice in their respective squares to determine the winner. Others can place bets in the five squares occupied by the dealer.

This game requires some skill, and those who play it well have a high probability of winning money, so many people play it.

The third table is a betting game where over a hundred beans are piled together, and gamblers bet on whether the number is odd or even. The dealer then randomly pokes a stick in the middle to divide the bet into odd and even numbers. If the number is odd, the gambler who bet on odd wins money, and the gambler who bet on even loses money.

This game mode is relatively slow, so fewer people play it.

These games are similar to those on Blue Star, and rather monotonous. Zheng Yifei walked around and, having a better understanding of the game, decided to play on the guessing game platform.

Actually, he was most confident in rolling the dice. With his skill, he could roll any number he wanted without any deviation. However, he only had ninety spirit coins, which was not enough for him to go on stage and operate.

Guessing beans is too slow and it's not easy to cheat, so you can only rely on luck.

Taking advantage of his small stature, Zheng Yifei squeezed into a corner of the gambling table to observe first.

The gambling table is very large, about seven or eight meters long and two meters wide, with a red line in the middle and "big" and "small" written on either side. Every time the dealer rolls the dice, the gamblers bet their spirit coins or spirit stones on the "big" or "small" side.

Once the banker opens the betting window, the banker takes all the losses and then pays out the winnings one by one.

There are limits on the amount you can bet on, starting with one spirit coin and capped at five hundred spirit coins per person.

If you want to play for higher stakes, go to the second floor; that's where you can start betting with a low-grade spirit stone.

"It's starting, put your hands down."

After the round ended and the dealer paid out the last spirit coin, the banker started the next round.

Zheng Yifei is about to make his move.

"Clang, clang."

The dealer held the dice cup and saucer in both hands, shook them up and down a couple of times, and gently placed them on the gambling table. The gamblers then began to place their bets.

Zheng Yifei took out nine spirit coins and placed them on the big characters. The reason for placing nine was that the gambling house had a rule that if you bet more than ten spirit coins, the house would take a one-spirit-coin commission if you won.

"Place your bets, then the banker opens. Three, five, or eight points—a big win!"

The dealer opens the dice cup, revealing two dice: one with a three and the other with a five, totaling eight.

The distinction between small and large is determined by the number of dots on the two dice. Each die has six sides, which are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The sum of the two dice is 1 to 6, which is small, and 7 to 12, which is large.

Logically, the two dice should add up to the minimum number of points, but sometimes two dice will end up stacked together.

Zheng Yifei won nine spirit coins in the first round and pocketed them.

I bet big again on the second round and won again.

I bet two spirit coins on the third round and lost.

The key to winning big and losing small is Zheng Yifei's experience as the King of Gambling on Blue Star. Winning consistently will attract attention.

For a weakling like him, who is only at the first level of Qi Refining, carrying a huge sum of money is tantamount to courting death. In this world without national laws, the law of the jungle is the most basic law of the jungle.

Although the Zhao family's guards maintained order in the market and prohibited fighting, once outside the market, no one cared.

"Quiet, it's starting."

Every time the dice are to be rolled, the dealer shouts out a message, and the once noisy gambling den instantly falls silent.

Everyone was watching the dealer.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Zheng Yifei, huddled in the corner, was intently listening to the sound of the dice spinning, and his ears were twitching slightly.

This is a unique skill he learned on Earth: recognizing shapes by sound.

He could tell how many times the dice spun in the dice cup and rolled after falling, thus accurately determining the number on the dice.

This technique doesn't require any special perception; it relies entirely on sound to determine the score. It's a top-tier cheating technique, and there's no way to counter it.

No one could catch him cheating.

This is also one of the reasons why major casinos on Earth have blacklisted him.

In half an hour, he won 500 spirit coins.

Zheng Yifei got up and slipped out of the crowd, then switched to the other side to continue betting, winning two rounds and losing one.

After winning another 500 spirit coins, I stopped.

Don't win too much, or you'll get into trouble.

"Xiao Fei, how's it going? Did you win any money?"

Just as Zheng Yifei was about to pay back the high-interest loan, Haozi came over and put his arm around his shoulder.

"I've won back the money I lost this morning, Brother Mouse. Here are five spirit coins for tea."

"You should come over often in the future. You can't afford to offend Haozi," Zheng Yifei said, stuffing five spirit coins into his hand.

"Sure, Xiaofei, you're quite sensible. Know when to stop. Return the favor first, then hurry up and buy medicine for your dad."

After all, they were neighbors in the same shantytown, and Haozi didn't want Zheng Yifei to lose everything, especially since he had given him a kickback.

The two found Master Zhao, and Zheng Yifei gave him 130 spirit coins.

"Not bad, not bad. If you need to borrow money in the future, just come to me. I can lend you two hundred spirit coins next time."

Master Zhao returned the IOU to Zheng Yifei and patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he could increase the loan amount.

"Thank you, Second Master. I'll come again tomorrow."

Zheng Yifei portrays the greedy image of a gambler after winning money.

After leaving the gambling den, he immediately went to the pharmacy. His father was seriously injured and might not survive if he didn't receive timely treatment.

I spent ten spirit coins to have a doctor from the pharmacy come to my home to see me and prescribe medicine.

When he brought the doctor home, his mother, Lin Wan, couldn't believe her eyes. There wasn't a single spirit coin in the house. How had her son managed to bring the doctor home?
