"Milo, stop bothering Luis, after all, he is our classmate." Thomas who was initially silent finally spoke, asking Milo to stop.
The latter looked speechless when Thomas spoke, like he dared not disobey him.
Thomas then approached Luis. When he arrived beside him, he even put his arm around his shoulders.
This person seemed friendly on the surface, but Luis did not know what his true personality was.
Since he was being friendly, he naturally couldn't ignore him.
"By the way, let's play together. I'll give you ten thousand dollars. We'll play that ten thousand dice game. Think of this money as a gift from me as my fellow Awakener. If you win, the prize is for yourself," he said.
"Are you sure?" Luis couldn't help but be surprised to hear that.
Playing first to learn the game, he didn't think it was a bad thing to do, but he felt it was a loss to do so if he had to use his own money plus the money was too little.
"Yeah, the more of us who play, the more chances of winning as long as we write different numbers from fifty thousand numbers," Thomas replied.
His colleagues didn't seem surprised to hear that he was willing to pay for Luis.
It seemed that they had been paid by him many times since he was from a very rich family and he himself had the ability to make a lot of money.
"Use this card, it will pay automatically," Thomas added as he handed Luis an ATM card.
Luis thought for a while and finally accepted it.
Whatever the man had in mind, he didn't care at all. The important thing for him was to play first.
"Let's go!" Thomas led everyone to the dice table, which was huge because it had to hold ten thousand dice.
Of course, the craps table that had one hundred thousand dice was much bigger.
Each of them was guarded by one dealer who was an old man dressed formally.
They were residents of the Flying Star Empire.
"You guys again," said the dealer of the table they were at.
He seemed to be very familiar with Thomas and the others.
"Why not, we'll keep trying until we succeed. I heard last night, someone succeeded," Thomas said in response.
"Yeah, a student like you but from the empire. I don't think natives like you would be able to guess the numbers," the dealer replied with a chuckle.
He seemed to look down on the Velos natives.
They weren't the only ones at the table either. There were some imperial residents but they were not in groups. They came individually and were indifferent.
"If you fail, then fail, it's all about the fun," Thomas replied, not taking offense to the dealer's words.
When a new game started, he quickly paid up.
It can also be paid with cash or using a card. If using cash, just put a thousand dollars on that table. If using a card, just stick it on that table.
One will then get a small piece of paper and a pen that comes out on its own from that table.
The process was really quick.
Luis followed him to pay.
After a minute, the big machine on the table took all the dice and shook them violently.
BANG!
It then dropped the dice loudly onto the table without revealing their contents.
"Quickly write down your numbers and place the paper on the table. If you're late, you'll be counted out," said the dealer in a loud voice.
"I'll write 20,032, you choose something else," Thomas said to Luis and the others in a low voice.
They communicated with each other in writing the numbers so that they were not the same.
Luis himself wrote randomly, 40,237.
He then put his paper on the table.
No one writes slowly. Everyone did it quickly.
After two minutes, the machine finally showed the dice, revealing ten thousand dice that were not neatly arranged but none of them overlapped each other. Each die lay on the table with a different number on it from one to six.
Luis naturally couldn't add them all up. He stared at the big screen behind the table.
(23.199!)
The total number appeared.
People were busy looking at their own papers but none of them seemed to have the same number as the one on the screen.
"Hmph!" One person snorted coldly before leaving, looking like he had run out of money after trying so many times.
'Can this even be called gambling,' Luis thought.
He wanted to shake his head because in so-called gambling, at least the player would feel the thrill of victory.
However, here, he only felt the sensation of impossibility.
"Hahaha, looks like we're out of luck again," Thomas said with a chuckle.
"Do you just play like this? Or do you have a special strategy?" Luis asked him.
He didn't think there was any strategy at all because if it wasn't like that, there was no way people would keep trying.
"No, the number of dice is too much for a strategy. A dice master can guess by the sound, but it's impossible to guess the sound of ten thousand dice," Thomas replied.
"Then what do we expect here? To rely entirely on luck?" Luis rolled his eyes.
It was said that every gambling game was set up by the bookie, but the bookie probably didn't need to set up the results of these ten thousand dice.
"Didn't I tell you? It's for fun. Only some fools take it seriously and use their last penny."
Luis, "..."
'So am I that fool?' He wondered.
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly saw another acquaintance, Walker and his gang.
They even approached them.
"Hey Thomas, how long have you been here? I can't believe you like this game so much. It's better to play a normal game and make a lot of money. The money can still be used to buy resources," Walker said to Thomas.
They seemed to recognize each other.
"Walker." Thomas was a little surprised that he didn't see him right away.
He then chuckled and replied, "no, I'm happier here and I want to see my luck, is it possible that my thoughts are exactly the same as these dice."
"Hmph, they can't possibly think the same as you," Walker replied.
'Thinking? Are they joking? How can dice think?' Enzo showed a strange expression when he heard their conversation, wondering if they were just talking nonsense.
