"Calm down and think more."
"Don't blindly believe what you see, understand?"
After helping Amy sit securely in the high chair, Qin Xuan gently reminded her by her ear.
Amy nodded vigorously at his words.
Having learned from the previous experience with Wang Yong, Amy was truly holding back a surge of frustration.
If only she had been able to calm down and think as her brother Qin Xuan had suggested, perhaps everything would have turned out differently.
Now that she had a chance to start over, she naturally wanted to redeem herself in this regard.
"Let's begin!"
Taking a deep breath and giving herself a silent pep talk, Amy decisively told Lyon to start their game.
Seeing this, Lyon chuckled and picked up the dice from the table, handing them to Amy for inspection.
"Dice gambling is a test of both skill and hearing."
"You're still a child, so your skill is bound to be lacking. For fairness, we'll just guess the total number of pips."
"These dice are newly opened. Please inspect them."
"If there are no issues, place them in the dice shaker."
"Of course, if you're worried about us tampering with the machine, you can shake them yourself. It makes no difference to me either way."
Taking the dice, Amy nodded slightly.
Although she didn't know all the tricks gamblers used to cheat, she was aware of basic methods like filling dice with lead or mercury.
Therefore, upon receiving the dice, she immediately used her clairvoyance to inspect the internal structure of each die.
After ensuring there was no lead or mercury inside, she solemnly placed the dice into the electronic shaker.
"The dice are fine. Let's proceed."
With a casual remark, Amy crossed her arms and waited for the opponent to activate the machine.
Even though she had suffered losses with the electronic shaker before, this time she was confident she could catch him if he tried to change the pips!
"Okay."
Seeing Amy's confidence, Lyon chuckled inwardly and instructed Gao Fei to start the shaker.
After the dice shaking concluded, he spoke, "Alright, now we will both write down our guesses for the total number of pips."
"After placing our bets, we'll reveal them together to see who guessed the correct total."
"Okay."
Amy also said nothing more. After glancing at the pips inside the shaker, she wrote down her answer.
"For this round, I'm betting thirty thousand US dollars."
"You can either match it or fold."
Lyon placed his bet first, covering his answer on the table.
Amy turned to give Qin Xuan a confident look.
Qin Xuan understood and also took chips worth thirty thousand US dollars from the chip basket.
When Sean had approached them earlier, they had just won a few rounds of Texas Hold'em.
Even so, their more than 28,000 chips had already doubled.
Lyon's choice of thirty thousand clearly indicated he had gauged their situation.
He was betting half their stake initially to test Amy's capabilities.
"I'll match. Let's reveal."
As the chips landed on the table, Amy decisively flipped over her answer.
Lyon followed suit, and the number written on his slip was coincidentally the same as Amy's: 11.
"It seems we have a tie."
Lyon chuckled and signaled Gao Fei to open the shaker lid.
The lid was flipped open, revealing the pips of 3, 2, and 6.
"Very good, the warm-up is now complete."
"For the second round, we need to increase the difficulty a bit."
"This time, we need to write down not only the total number of pips in the shaker but also the individual pips of the three dice."
Despite the seemingly indecisive outcome, Lyon was not at all impatient.
His and Gao Fei's goal wasn't simply to beat Amy.
Instead, they intended to build her up, let her confidence inflate, and then bring her crashing down until she broke.
Therefore, the current situation was entirely within his expectations.
The second round began.
The procedures for both sides remained unchanged.
The same betting process, writing down answers.
However, the numbers on the paper went from one to four.
Bets placed, both revealed their answers simultaneously.
3, 6, 3.
Both sides were still tied.
"As expected, I wasn't mistaken. In the lobby, it was Miss Amy who was orchestrating everything from behind the scenes."
Chuckling, Lyon actually began to praise Amy, his opponent.
After his words of praise, his gaze kept drifting towards Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan chuckled, knowing the other party was pointing at him.
He meant: In the lobby, Amy was doing all the work, and you were just a useless puppet.
However, Qin Xuan was not angry.
Firstly, it wasn't worth getting upset with someone like that. He'd rather spend that time researching how to improve Amy's life.
Secondly, he truly hadn't done anything in the lobby.
He knew nothing about gambling techniques, and their significant winnings were entirely due to Amy's clairvoyant ability.
The gambling continued.
Both sides remained tied.
Qin Xuan didn't know Lyon's motive for gambling and praising her like this.
But this suited Qin Xuan perfectly.
He needed someone to help Amy gain experience and temper her will.
Wasn't Lyon's current behavior testing her composure?
So, feeling bored, he no longer bothered to pay attention to the situation at the gambling table.
He took out his phone and sat aside, sending messages to Yuan Mengqi and others.
He was quite interested in participating in the thirty million US dollar gambling match.
If nothing else, the eight people participating in this gamble possessed at least two hundred and forty million US dollars!
Although he wasn't short of money, he wouldn't pass up a sure win.
After sending the messages, another round of guessing the pips was nearing its end.
The outcome was still a tie, and Lyon finally decided to introduce something new.
"Dear Miss Amy, I have been active in Monaco City for many years, and I have never encountered a dice-listening expert like you."
"It's hard to believe you are truly only twelve years old this year!"
Flattering words poured from Lyon's mouth, and Amy's smile grew increasingly joyful.
"However, based on the current results, if it's just listening to the dice, I doubt we'll be able to determine a winner tonight."
"How about this?"
"From now on, I will use this original dice shaker to manually shake the dice."
"My goal is to make it impossible for you to discern the pips by sound."
"And you will need to accurately report the pips inside the shaker after the shaking stops."
"As long as your guess is correct, I lose, and all the chips bet by both sides go to you."
"Conversely, if you guess incorrectly, then I win, and you must give me all the chips."
