The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 504 - : Setting Up the Formation!
Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Setting Up the Formation!
“Under the sharp and intense gaze of the young woman, Abao, Huang Xiaolong appeared extremely calm and composed, a tranquility that was terrifying to behold.
“Hehe, let’s open the dice cup, it’s 1.” Huang Xiaolong said with a chuckle.
“What? 1?” Abao was astonished.
In fact, even Abao herself didn’t know what number she had rolled.
After all, her sound perception index was only ’42’, far behind her dexterity.
But Huang Xiaolong saying “1” was a bit far-fetched…
…
In the computer room.
“Hahaha~ Is this kid talking nonsense?” Mr. Ma exhaled a smoke ring, with a look of mockery on his face. “There are 6 dice in Abao’s cup, and he actually guessed 1…hehe.”
“Mr. Ma, did Sister Bao’s Tidal Hand technique mess up this guy’s brain?” a gambling expert joked.
“Abao’s Tidal Hand can produce the sound of rising and falling tides, it does indeed have a hypnotic effect.” Mr. Ma agreed while laughing.
On the other side, Bai Gang disdainfully said to Lin Zicong, “Young Master Lin, it seems like your teacher is not going to pass the second round. I heard that if you fail the challenge, your hand will be chopped off. That’s pitiful.”
“You better shut your mouth. My teacher is invincible!” Lin Zicong retorted coldly.
…
In the private room.
“1?” Abao shook her head speechlessly, then slowly opened the dice cup cover.
Shockingly!
The smile on Abao’s face froze!
Like a poorly crafted clown mask!
Her heart sank!
In the dice cup, six dice were stacked, forming a straight line vertically.
Only the top dice, showing the number, was visible.
It was indeed a “1”
“This…this…” Abao’s face turned pale, she stared at Huang Xiaolong as if he were a monster. “You… How did you hear it… You…you…”
Abao was completely flustered.
My god, she accidentally shook the six dice into a “standing” line, and Huang Xiaolong still heard it! His perception was terrifying beyond belief!
“It’s so simple, of course I could hear it.” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly with a smile. “Also, your hand speed is not fast enough. Too slow.”
“Alright, second round is over. Now let’s see what’s the wager for the third round, hopefully it won’t be boring.” Huang Xiaolong said, laughing as he left the room.
“My hand speed is slow?” Abao nearly choked on her own anger. Since her debut, no one has ever said that her hand speed is slow!
…
In the computer room.
An absolute silence! A terrifying silence!
The Abao, who was considered undefeatable and absolutely incapable of losing, actually lost.
A resounding defeat!
The previously confident and controlling Mr. Ma, was now breaking out in cold sweat, “In the current gambling world, no more than three people could determine the number in Abao’s dice cup…He…he…”
It was as if they were facing a formidable enemy!
“Mr. Ma, our situation is currently hanging by a thread.” Minghui couldn’t sit still anymore, he stood up and exclaimed loudly. “We’ve all underestimated Huang Xiaolong. His gambling skill could potentially rank within the top ten worldwide. At the very least, we can confirm two things, first, his eye speed index exceeds 80; second, his hearing index surpasses 93… If he breaks through the fourth round, the reputation of the Ji Group will take a significant hit! We cannot afford to lose this battle! This is a fight for honor!”
Minghui’s remarks were far from alarmist. “Who will compete in the third round?”
He scanned the room and everyone who met Minghui’s eyes shamefully lowered their heads.
They were all scared!
None of them dared to represent the company to face off Huang Xiaolong!
“A bunch of losers! What does the company keep you for?” Minghui shouted angrily.
He was usually cultured, gentlemanly, and seldom swore at people. Whenever Minghui started berating, it meant that the situation was really in dire straits!
Right, for Ji Group to be challenged by an unregistered underground gambling expert, it was indeed quite embarrassing…
“Mr. Ma, at this point, you’re the only one who can enter the competition.” Minghui ordered, almost in a commanding tone.
“This…” Mr. Ma’s eyes flickered uncertainly, and after a few moments, “Give me a moment to think.”
…
Huang Xiaolong walked out of the second private room, where the beautiful lady who had been waiting outside hastily said, “Mr. Huang, you’ve fought two rounds, please take a break here.”
“Rest? I’m not tired at all. Why should I rest? No need, hurry up and take me to the next challenge!” Huang Xiaolong spoke with a smirk.
The beautiful lady was awkwardly embarrassed, “Um… Mr. Huang, you…you should… take a short break.”
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, lifted his head, looked at the camera, and sneered, “What? Afraid? Don’t dare to bet?”
…
In the control room.
Huang Xiaolong’s arrogant face and his sarcastic words—”What? Afraid? Don’t dare to bet?”—appeared on the giant LCD screen.
“Mr. Ma, get in there!” Minghui pulled out a handkerchief, constantly wiping the sweat on his forehead.
“I… I can’t just disregard my own reputation!” Mr. Ma gritted his teeth. “This kid is a nobody, while I rank eighth in the world of gambling! He is not qualified to compete with me! If I won, he would still gain fame in defeat. If I lost, I would lose all my honor!”
The room fell silent at Mr. Ma’s words.
Yes, he wasn’t wrong, it was a lose-lose situation for him.
However, when the company was in trouble, how could he be so timid and selfish?
“Mr. Ma, as the saying goes, it takes a long time to raise a soldier, but you only use him once. The company has granted you a generous salary every year, right? Now, you refuse to fight for the company. Shall I call Miss Ji and ask her to take over?” Minghui glared at Mr. Ma menacingly.
“Wait~~ Brother Hui, don’t rush, I have a plan.” Mr. Ma wiped the sweat from his brow. “Well, for the third round, let’s set up a formation.”
After a pause, Mr. Ma quickly said, “Summon the Ten Ghosts!”
“Enough! Mr. Ma, Summon the Ten Ghosts? Do you think Huang Xiaolong would be foolish enough to agree to this unfair gamble?” Minghui spoke sarcastically. “Mr. Ma, you have greatly disappointed our company.”
In the private room, the other gambling experts also shook their heads disapprovingly.
Lin Zicong, with a puzzled look, asked Bai Gang, “What is Summon the Ten Ghosts?”
“Oh, I heard about it from my cousin. It’s a game that the Ji Group’s gambling experts invented when they were bored. It means ten gambling experts who excel at speed each hold a dice cup. They surround the opponent and shake their cups at the same time. In the end, the opponent must call out the numbers on the dice in every cup.” Bai Gang spoke indignantly. “If Ji Group really uses this technique on your teacher, it would be very… very… shameless.”
“How outrageous! Who could listen to ten people shaking dice at the same time?” Lin Zicong exclaimed angrily. “This is a clear foul! I bet no gambling world would allow such rule!”
“Cough, cough~~~ Young Master Lin, as far as I know, Ji Zongyuan, the God of Gamblers, and Mo Shaofeng, the Devil of Gamblers, practiced their listening skills in the exact same way.” Bai Gang muttered. “Miss Ji also trained in this way. However, they were never able to Summon the Ten Ghosts, at most, they could only Summon Seven ghosts or eight, which is already the limit of human hearing.”
…
“We set the rules! What can’t we do!” Mr. Ma said angrily. “Those who want to infringe on the dignity of our casino must pay the price! The ten fastest people stand out! Set up the Summon the Ten Ghosts formation! Stop that kid in the third round!”
