When Eric and the others arrived in the center of the hall, someone was playing a "challenge game".

The surrounding gamblers surrounded the circular court slightly above the ground, cheering and shouting, and the venue was very chaotic. It took four people a long time to squeeze into a good position to watch the game.

After taking a few words out of the noise, Eric learned that the people around him had placed bets on the two people who were playing the game, so they cared so much about the outcome.

The two stood on either side of the table. One of them had yellow skin from the Eastern Continent, and the clothes on his body were also clearly different from those of the Odin. He's a gringo. On the other side is the casino manager, dressed in a dress with an elegant posture.

Each holds a sieve cup with the lid open so that the three sparkling ivory dice inside can be clearly seen.

Game items are very simple to shake the dice than the size. Whoever has the most points wins.

With a start, the game begins.

It was the Oriental who moved first. I saw him holding a sieve cup in his hand, galloping in the air like the wind and swift as lightning. The sieve cup seemed to stick to the palm of his hand, and a few flowers could be turned out along the way. People can't help but be amazed when they see it.

The audience boiled.

Quite a few even pulled out their chips and raised into the field. Of course, it was added to the Oriental.

"Maybe one day this man will stop gambling and will be able to go to the circus to eat with this skill. Newsom muttered quietly.

It could be seen that the man had obviously practiced dice for many years before he made a point of proposing to compare dice. Eric rubbed his chin. Speaking of which, it seems that even toys like dice were passed down from the ancient and mysterious country of the Eastern Continent. Use the game of the ancestors as a game, and the foreigner will definitely have the upper hand. Casino managers are afraid that it is difficult to resist.

This difficult challenge game may immediately produce a passer.

Eric turned his head to look and saw that the manager's movements on the other side were not flashy, but they were smooth.

The two slapped the sieve cup on the table almost simultaneously.

The crowd held their breath.

The manager raised his right hand and was the first to reveal the results.

6，6，5。

It's almost a full 18.

It's a pity, but it's already an extremely high point. Some of the gamblers also applauded, and they were all guys who bet on the manager.

The Oriental on the other side laughed directly, it was a naked mockery. He said he was disdainful of the result.

He picked up the lid. Then he raised his head and closed his eyes, ready to receive the cheers.

The gamblers were quiet at first, and then in an uproar.

And the Oriental clearly understood Odin: it was a tidal wave of scolding.

Did you make a mistake?

Panic struck. The panicked Oriental hurriedly looked down at his results.

6，5，4。

15 points is normally considered a high point. But compared to the 17 points that the manager stood, the difference is as much as 2 points. There is no doubt that he lost.

The manager had a smug smile on his face and made a curtain call to the gamblers around him.

The Orientals are gone.

"No, mile cheating! I get a full 18 every time. Let me shake it a few hundred more times and it won't be a problem. Mile must have done something!"

He shouted. Although he had a slight accent, his meaning was still reached.

This time, a significant number of people bet on the dice master before the game starts, and they will lose all their money. After hearing this, I felt that this statement was very credible for a while. They were so angry that they wanted to rush to the stage, so that the security guards standing in the outer circle of the venue immediately pulled out their guns. Many of the people who bet on the manager laughed at these guys who couldn't afford to lose.

The scene was chaotic again.

The manager did not waver, stretched out his hands and floated slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.

He said to the Orientals: "I admit that your skills are perfect, but there are always surprises, don't you?" Maybe it's just this time. You can't deny the possibility. Most importantly, you say I did something, what about the evidence?"

Faced with questioning. The Oriental man's face was flushed, and he couldn't think of a word of rebuttal.

The manager smiled.

"Also, I think you know the rules of the game. ”

To Eric's surprise, the people who were about to have a seizure just now were completely lost their temper by this sentence. Some of them cursed a few times and then turned away.

The whole environment cooled down suddenly. The restless atmosphere just now is completely gone.

The Oriental man did the same, and after a few more glances at the points he had shaken, he left the field dejectedly. A sabre-rattling game ended hastily.

Eric was stunned.

Curious, Bell grabbed a short man next to him and asked, "Hey, man." What rules?"

"Hey, man. You're hurting me. ”

Bell hurriedly retracted his hand and said a few sorry words. But the other party's face is still not good. Seeing this, Eric on the side hurriedly walked over and handed over a few gold coins, and smiled a few more words.

When the short man saw the gold coin, he looked at Newsom in fancy costume, and then he reacted and met the noble lord. He immediately put on a smiling face and told them to challenge the so-called "rules" of the game.

"Listen, I'll just say it once. He said in a straight voice: "What is found is called cheating." ”

What is found is called cheating...... Interesting.

Indeed, despite the meanness, cheating that goes undetected will give itself a better name: victory.

"Do most people know about this rule?"

"That's right, sir. Except for people like you who are here for the first time. ”

Eric added, "Is there anything else you know about this challenge game? ”

Unexpectedly, the short man smiled flatteringly, "Additional questions require additional money, sir." ”

Eric hid his disgust and pulled out a few more gold coins and handed them over.

Now the short man blossomed, and at the same time lowered his voice: "Ask me if you have found the right person, others may not really know."

Challenge games are the signature of the Gold Coast, and they are a good deal that only makes money and does not lose money. Challengers need to pay 50,000 Oren to get a chance to challenge, and the game is determined by the challenger, but it must be a gambling event. Only winning casino managers get their money back and get access to the fifth floor of play.

But it is almost impossible for ordinary people to win against this manager. Most people just lose their money and leave here with their tails between their legs and nothing to gain. Naturally, that money went into the pockets of the casinos. Moreover, they will also set up gambling games for challenge games, which is a lot of income. ”

He was eloquent, and he spoke such a large passage very coherently, and he hardly gasped for breath.

"Yes, but I've heard from the security guards that there are people who have won. ”

"Indeed, I've heard of it too. But to be honest, I'm a long-time patron here, and I haven't seen anyone succeed in a few years. Because, to put it bluntly, that manager is actually a master cheater. In addition, the gambling props are provided by the casino. So... You know. You'll have to figure out how to win the game even if the other person cheats. Otherwise, it's no fun at all. ”

Eric took a cool breath.

"Shhhh If you don't want to be retaliated against by the casino, don't tell anyone. ”

It turns out that the casino manager ... Or rather, the casino is the cheater in this game. It is easier said than done for the average gambler to win the game.

"Actually, that yellow-skinned guy just now has done well enough. Because he chose a game of craps that relies on technology, which also reduces the possibility of the opponent cheating to a certain extent. But he clearly underestimated the casino's cheating prowess. I dare say they must have done what the Oriental man said, though our eyes tell us he didn't.

That's the crux of it, we all know the facts, but we can't prove it. ”

Eric hadn't opened his eyes to observe the game just now, so he hadn't been able to see anything famous. But when it comes time for Eric to challenge himself, I believe that the Alpha Eye should be able to find the clue. It's just that at that point, it's unknown whether he will be able to think of a solution right away.

"Do you have any advice if I try that game?"

Eric suddenly threw out this sentence, and then smiled at the short man.

The short man looked him up and down, touched his head, and showed a look of stupidity: "Dude, I think you are crazy." I'd say that most of the guys who bet on the gringo were first-time visitors to the Gold Coast, and what fools. As long as it's the second time, there is no one who does not bet on the manager. That's because we know that no amount of money can be burned as firewood. I advise you to still ......"

He stopped as Eric shoved him another handful of gold coins.

"Of course, if you really want to challenge...... It's fair that they can cheat, and so can challengers. As long as your cheating methods are not detected by the casino...... You know, it's difficult, it's almost impossible.

Or, you go for a game that they can't cheat at all and are guaranteed to beat the casino manager. Two ways to win. But in any case, it's really not advisable to spend that unjust money, of course, if you're just looking for thrills, you can go for it. ”

"Thank you for the advice......" Eric shook hands with the short man and said goodbye, a little sluggish.

Two methods.

The first is the first one, which is to cheat on the success of the casino. Of course Eric knew how difficult it was, and he probably knew better than the short man.

The ceiling guard covers a variety of angles, achieving a true blind spot. To cheat in such an environment, it is not as simple as directly breaking into the fifth floor of the casino. But that would be too dangerous, and even if they were brave enough, they wouldn't be able to keep Io safe on it while doing it.

It seems that the only way to win the game is to start with the second method.

But the question is, what kind of game project will make them 100% better than that manager, and completely block his cheating.

Eric needs to think.

When- When-

At this moment, the clock struck midnight.

Io was still waiting for their rescue. There are still six hours until dawn. Once dawn comes, the elves return to the plane of magic. At that point, they will lose their bearings, and it will be even more difficult to find Io.

Thinking of this, Eric looked at his trusty companions: Newsom, Arvin, and Bell. He asked, "Okay, friends. Tell me if any of you are good at cards, dice, roulette, or any other form of gambling. ”

Arvin shook his head, "I'm still a kid, so Io won't let me touch this." ”

Bale: "I'm only good at fighting. ”

Newsom: "I'm only good at solving crimes. ”

Eric felt a headache and rubbed his temples. He is also good at solving crimes, but the problem is that solving crimes is not a gambling project at all. As for other specialties... Maybe it's roller boots? Do you want him to compete with the casino manager to see who can skate faster? Even shooting isn't a gamble. Eric suddenly found that none of his specialties were of any use at this time.

Thinking is at an impasse.

While Eric was pondering, two shouts suddenly appeared not far away, disturbing Eric's thoughts.

"I've heard there's a fun game here, Galahad!"

"Yes, fun game. Gamborah!"

The gamblers who had just dispersed saw two big burly guys coming up from the staircase and walking straight to the game field in the center of the hall. One of them threw a large stack into the betting area, which was barely available.

"Let's have a challenge game!"

The guy called Galahad shouted unscrupulously, as if he were ordering a large Pelos beer at the bar.
