Chapter 350

"If you gentlemen have the confidence, you may prepare 2 million in chips and come with me for a wager."

Of course, this was also a gimmick prepared by Gao Jin. With the casino opening, having the God of Gamblers himself step down to the floor would be even more effective at attracting guests.

This opening of the Galaxy Casino attracted quite a few gamblers. First, they wanted to behold the true face of the God of Gamblers; opportunities to see him in public were rare, and almost no ordinary person had ever seen Gao Jin.

Second, they wanted to see the background of this Galaxy Casino. To be able to open a casino in Hong Kong with such fanfare, without any triads or foreigners causing trouble, the power behind them was truly extraordinary.

Old Fourth Gao had already become history; the Galaxy Casino was the new master here.

But for these gamblers, it didn't matter. They would soon forget Old Fourth Gao, because what they cared about was whether there was a place to gamble, not who owned the casino.

Even if it changed to another power tomorrow, they would still come to the casino to gamble.

However, the crowd now looked pleasantly surprised. Being able to have a round with the God of Gamblers was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially since he generally never gambled in private.

Unless you offered a high enough price—at least 500,000 USD, which was nearly 4 million Hong Kong dollars—who would put up that kind of money for a game they were bound to lose?

The title of God of Gamblers was famous not just in Hong Kong and Aodao, but worldwide.

Furthermore, Gao Jin saying this was also to expand the reputation of the Galaxy Casino, but 2 million in chips was definitely not a small number.

Many people hesitated; besides, wasn't gambling against the God of Gamblers just throwing money away?

Just then, a man in a suit with a handlebar mustache strode in.

"I have long heard of the God of Gamblers' reputation. Today I have come specifically to seek instruction. The 2 million in chips is already prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on him.

Someone recognized his identity and was immediately shocked:

"This is the second-best gambling expert in the Cherry Blossom Nation, Ueyama Hirotsugu. I didn't expect him to come and challenge the God of Gamblers."

Gao Jin smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation, full of confidence:

"Please."

The surrounding gamblers were full of anticipation. Being able to observe the God of Gamblers' skills up close was something many envied.

Everyone wanted to see if the God of Gamblers was truly as formidable as the rumors suggested. A person's name is like a tree's shadow; everyone craned their necks in anticipation, their faces filled with excitement.

Gao Jin kept a smile on his face throughout, full of confidence.

This could also be considered helping the Galaxy Casino build a reputation by holding a public gambling match, but this 2 million entry fee was not something an ordinary person could afford.

Gao Jin asked:

"What does your excellency intend to play?"

Ueyama Hirotsugu spoke up:

"Just the simplest high-low. We'll use ordinary dice. Five dice, let's see who can roll the lowest total."

Ueyama Hirotsugu looked at Gao Jin, full of confidence; he had come prepared this time.

As the God of Gamblers, there truly wasn't a method Gao Jin didn't know:

"Mr. Charon, please bring over a set of dice."

Charon nodded respectfully: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Gao, and Mr. Ueyama."

Soon, Charon brought a brand-new set of dice and placed them in front of the two.

Gao Jin gestured:

"Since I am in charge of the Galaxy Casino, I am the house. You may inspect these dice."

Some people would tamper with dice to cheat, so they would always be inspected before a game.

Ueyama Hirotsugu, however, did not inspect them:

"I believe in Mr. Gao's ability; he wouldn't play such tricks. Besides, if I were to inspect the dice, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Mr. Gao?"

Ueyama Hirotsugu gave Gao Jin plenty of face with this statement, showing no intention of inspecting the dice at all.

It was common knowledge that Gao Jin did not cheat, nor would he rely on petty tricks to tamper with dice. The title of God of Gamblers was not earned in vain.

Gao Jin smiled slightly: "Since Mr. Ueyama says so, I will respect your opinion."

"In today's match, even if it's a draw, it will still count as a loss for me, Gao Jin. We will return all 2 million in chips and offer an additional 5 million Hong Kong dollars as a prize."

"Then I accept."

Ueyama Hirotsugu did not expect Gao Jin to be so confident. He picked up the dice cup and began to shake it, looking at Gao Jin with a hint of gravity.

As the dice cup shook in Ueyama Hirotsugu's hand, Gao Jin's ears twitched slightly, listening to the sound of the shaking.

To others, the sound of the dice shaking was completely irregular, but to gambling experts like Gao Jin and Ueyama Hirotsugu, listening to the sound to determine the position was the simplest thing.

One could even say they could roll whatever number they wanted.

Soon, Ueyama Hirotsugu stopped shaking and slammed the cup onto the table.

The God of Gamblers revealed a meaningful smile and couldn't help but clap his hands.

When Ueyama Hirotsugu lifted the cup, there were five dice stacked on top of each other, with the top face showing a one. Ueyama Hirotsugu took the five stacked dice apart, and every single face showed a one.

The spectators nearby were full of astonishment, finding it incredible:

"Five ones is the lowest possible score. Is the God of Gamblers going to lose?"

"The God of Gamblers just said that even a draw counts as his loss. Could it be that the God of Gamblers' undefeated myth is going to fall today?"

These gamblers felt that Gao Jin didn't even need to roll the dice; no matter how he rolled, he couldn't get lower than five.

Ueyama Hirotsugu looked at Gao Jin and shook his head:

"Mr. Gao, I'm afraid you were too confident."

"That's not necessarily true." Gao Jin took off his suit jacket, still without the slightest bit of nervousness, as if he were not the one about to lose.

The gamblers watching below held their breath, looking nervous, as if they were the ones playing. Everyone's face carried a hint of anticipation, waiting to see what kind of earth-shattering reversal would happen in the next round.

Could Gao Jin turn defeat into victory?

Just then, Gao Jin picked up the dice cup and shook it violently. As the clattering sound came, everyone stared at Gao Jin without blinking, breaking into a cold sweat for him.

Everyone just wanted to know how the God of Gamblers could turn the tables.

Charon, standing by, was also full of worry, because Gao Jin had spoken too confidently earlier and now couldn't back down.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Gao Jin, but Gao Jin himself felt no pressure at all. Suddenly, he slammed the dice cup heavily onto the table.

"Open, open, open!"

For a moment, everyone's faces were excited, and they couldn't help but shout intensely.

Everyone wanted to see exactly what the God of Gamblers had rolled.

Gao Jin then lifted the cup:

"Sorry, I used a bit too much force."

Before them were four dice stacked together, while one of the dice had been crushed into powder.

At this moment, Gao Jin displayed the dice one by one to the crowd; all the dice had a one facing up.

Seeing this scene, the crowd was shocked.

Everyone realized that Gao Jin had won, because there were only four ones on the table. They hadn't expected such a way to win and were astonished.

Ueyama Hirotsugu looked at the result before him, knowing that if he were to argue unreasonably now, he would lose his standing.

Moreover, he had come this time to ask for Gao Jin's help and did not intend to offend him.

"Mr. Gao, I have lost. I am convinced of my defeat."

Gao Jin smiled:

"I just used some opportunistic methods. Mr. Ueyama's gambling skills truly command my admiration."

At this moment, Gao Jin also gave him a way to save face.

"Clap, clap, clap."

The gamblers nearby began to applaud. Whether it was his character or his gambling skills, Gao Jin was truly worthy of the title of God of Gamblers.

Ueyama Hirotsugu bowed and said respectfully:

"Mr. Gao, could I take a moment of your time?"

Gao Jin also had a good impression of Ueyama Hirotsugu; the fact that he didn't argue unreasonably just now proved his character, and he had indeed lost by the explicit rules.

"No problem, Mr. Ueyama."
