Bai Yun Lan listened, nodding slightly to show he had understood the rules. Immediately after, he unhesitatingly took out a piece of silver weighing ten taels from his bosom, placed it lightly on the table, and then said with a smile: "Let's begin."

The dark, thin man saw this, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly, revealing a hard-to-detect smile.

He picked up three dice, let Bai Yun Lan look at them carefully, and after confirming there was no mistake, said slowly: "You see, three dice. I'll start shaking now." Having spoken, he skillfully picked up the dice cup and began shaking it rapidly.

The dice collided with each other inside the cup, emitting crisp sounds, as if performing a tense and exciting symphony. At this moment, Bai Yun Lan and Yan Jie stared intently at the dark, thin man's movements.

As the dark, thin man's arm kept swinging, the dice inside the cup spun faster and faster.

Bai Yun Lan and Yan Jie, however, noticed a detail — although this dark, thin man had a slight build, because he had shaken dice year-round, his arms actually had distinct muscle lines, appearing exceptionally sturdy.

Finally, after a heart-pounding bout of shaking, the dark, thin man slammed the dice cup onto the table with a loud "Bang."

The dice cup settled. The dark, thin man looked at Bai Yun Lan expressionlessly and said blandly: "Young Master, your guess."

Bai Yun Lan pondered slightly, then said decisively: "Small."

The dark, thin man seemed unsurprised by this answer; the smile at the corner of his mouth retracted slightly, and he confirmed again: "Young Master, are you sure? Once you're sure, I'll open it."

Bai Yun Lan replied without hesitation: "Sure. Small."

The man unhurriedly lifted the dice cup's lid, as if this were merely the most ordinary game. However, when the cup was fully opened, everyone's gaze was drawn to the three dice inside.

Those three dice lay quietly in the cup, as if bewitched, each displaying a different number — three, four, one.

The dark, thin man looked at these three numbers, a regretful expression appearing on his face, and he muttered to himself: "As expected, beginners have a protection period..."

In sharp contrast to the dark, thin man, Bai Yun Lan at this moment was happy like a child. She excitedly shouted: "Take the money, take the money!" Her voice revealing joy that could not be concealed.

Although the dark, thin man was somewhat unwilling in his heart, he still abided by the game rules. He took out twenty taels of silver from the table drawer and handed it to Bai Yun Lan.

However, Bai Yun Lan did not immediately pocket the silver like an ordinary person; instead, she put these twenty taels together with the ten taels won earlier, and then said: "Another round! This time I'm betting thirty taels!"

Yan Jie at the side saw this and hurriedly grabbed Bai Yun Lan's sleeve, saying anxiously: "Bai Second Brother, didn't you say just one round?" His tone carried a hint of displeasure and worry.

Bai Yun Lan seemed to realize his impulsiveness; his voice became a little quieter, and he turned to explain to Yan Jie: "Even if this all loses, I merely lose ten taels of silver.

But if I win, I can win eighty taels at once! With these eighty taels of silver, how many good things can we buy! Just trust me once, one more round."

"Young Master, then let's begin!" Yan Jie saw the dark, thin man had already spoken, his heart growing more anxious, but he hadn't had time to stop it before the other party announced the game had started. Bai Yun Lan, however, appeared very calm, smiling and nodding to indicate they could begin.

Yan Jie originally wanted to persuade a few more words, but on second thought, felt the other party's words were not without reason, so he decided to play this round first before speaking further.

With a burst of crisp dice collision sounds, the dice cup fell heavily onto the table, emitting a "Bang."

The dark, thin man looked at Bai Yun Lan, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly, and asked unhurriedly: "Young Master, this time Big or Small?"

Bai Yun Lan hesitated slightly, then thought seriously. After a while, he seemed to have an answer and said confidently: "This time should be Big."

A crafty glint flashed in the dark, thin man's eyes as he pressed: "Are you sure?"

Bai Yun Lan nodded without hesitation and replied: "Sure."

Seeing this, the dark, thin man's smile became even more obvious. He slowly picked up the dice cup and carefully lifted the lid, as if some earth-shattering secret were hidden inside.

When the dice cup was fully uncovered, everyone's gaze focused on those three dice. They lay there quietly, strikingly showing one, six, six — adding up exactly to Big!

Bai Yun Lan saw this and excitedly looked at Yan Jie, saying proudly: "Look, I told you my luck is good, didn't I!"

Yan Jie smiled helplessly, lowered his voice and said to Bai Yun Lan: "Bai Second Brother, let's quit while we're ahead, don't play anymore."

However, Bai Yun Lan at this moment was immersed in the joy of victory, turning a deaf ear to Yan Jie's advice. He happily accepted the sixty taels of silver the dark, thin man handed over and counted it happily.

The dark, thin man looked at Bai Yun Lan, a hard-to-detect smile on his face, then asked softly: "Young Master, luck this good, want to play another round?"

Yan Jie secretly fretted; he was just preparing to tell Bai Yun Lan not to play further, but before he could speak, Bai Yun Lan had already swiftly put the ninety taels of silver together and shouted loudly: "Another round!"

Yan Jie saw this and hurriedly reached out to grab Bai Yun Lan's sleeve, saying anxiously: "Bai Second Brother, you just promised me this was the last round!"

Bai Yun Lan, however, took it in stride, waving his hand unconcernedly and saying: "I guarantee, this absolutely is the last round! Look, even if I lose another round it's at most losing ten taels of silver, but if I win,

that's a whole one hundred seventy taels! I guarantee, after winning this round I absolutely won't play anymore. And at noon I'll still treat you to a sumptuous feast!"

Yan Jie heard Bai Yun Lan's words; his heart wavered somewhat, but he still felt it wasn't very reliable. He hurriedly dissuaded: "Bai Second Brother, you should stop while it's appropriate, don't lose more than you gain over this bit of small money!"

However, Bai Yun Lan was full of confidence in his luck; he patted his chest and said: "My luck today is really good! Just believe me, last round, just the last round!"

Yan Jie saw Bai Yun Lan so insistent, knew further persuasion would be useless, and could only sigh helplessly and say: "Alright then, I'll go wander elsewhere first, you play first."
