134: Am I a good person?
Wei Si's veins bulged on his hand, and he was so angry that he almost crushed the dice cup.
His challenge failed, and it was his turn to taste the poison again.
He looked at the increasingly empty glasses on the table, already unable to control the urge to flip the table.
"How boring."
Cheng Zhen suddenly spoke, then looked at Boss William, and said loudly, "Boss William, how about making the next development more interesting?"
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Cheng Zhen wanted to do.
Boss William looked at him with interest, "What? Does Guest No. 4 have any good suggestions?"
"One cup per round is too slow, how about..."
Cheng Zhen said with a smile, "What if the loser accumulates five failures directly, and then drinks five cups of wine at once?"
"Oh?" Boss William narrowed his eyes, contemplating Cheng Zhen's suggestion.
This action was like giving some losers a 'stay of execution'.
A few players shouldn't mind, after all, if they drink a few times later, it might be someone else who dies.
Weaker NPCs could die later, and stronger NPCs could also avoid capsizing in the gutter, so it was beneficial to everyone.
Boss William didn't care about the life or death of these people; his attention was on the 'old customers' beside him.
Those rich people who placed bets probably wouldn't dislike this suggestion either.
After all, if the person they bet on lived a little longer, their chances of winning would increase.
Moreover, if someone drank five cups of wine in a row and didn't die, wouldn't the show's effect be explosive?
Seeing that the bettors had no objections, Boss William smiled and said, "An interesting suggestion that seems to bring us more exciting scenes."
"Then, as Guest No. 4 said, let's make the next game more interesting!"
The suggestion passed, and the waiter immediately thoughtfully made a note for Wei Si, so he wouldn't be punished immediately.
"...What exactly are you planning?"
Wei Si stared intently at Cheng Zhen, unable to understand why he would do this.
This suggestion clearly benefited him, as he didn't have to drink immediately.
But why would Cheng Zhen do this?
Facing the other party's question, Cheng Zhen looked innocent: "Maybe because I'm a good person, and I can't stand to see pitiful people drinking their guts out in front of me?"
Wei Si: ?
Lao Feng: ?
Xiao Jiao: ?
(No. 6 and No. 8: ?)
I'll believe you when pigs fly!
You'd even question that yourself if you said it out loud!
Even old grandpas who were scammed into buying health products would report it overnight.
"Alright then."
Seeing that no one believed him, Cheng Zhen had no choice but to spread his hands and say, "I just genuinely think you two small fries are too weak, so I've decided to give you another chance. Otherwise, it would be too boring to get rid of you so quickly!"
As soon as these words came out, the two immediately flushed with anger.
They were clearly infuriated by the arrogant Cheng Zhen.
"Hmph!"
Wei Si picked up the dice cup again, clearly provoked and agitated, staring at Cheng Zhen: "No matter what tricks you want to play, I'll see it through to the end!"
Xiao Jiao secretly glanced at the two, deep in thought.
The game continued.
Wei Si and Lao Feng, fueled by anger, shook the dice so loudly it seemed they would shatter them.
Even the NPCs could tell that these two were highly enraged, and several armed thugs were dispatched to stand by and maintain order.
Wei Si, who lost last time, called out first. He looked at his 12344, thought for a moment, and shouted, "Five 5s."
Then, he said to Lao Feng, "The first dungeon last month was four-star."
Lao Feng was stunned.
This was a lie!
He remembered that last month they wanted to rest, so they bought novice cards and went to a two-star dungeon to show off.
So, Wei Si wanted to use this code to tell him that he didn't have that many fives. And Cheng Zhen and the others, unaware of their situation, naturally couldn't tell the difference.
This way, the two could both convey messages and keep Cheng Zhen and the others in the dark, which was indeed a good way to deal with it.
Not only that, Lao Feng glanced at his cards, covering Cheng Zhen and the other's view with one hand, and gesturing with the other, confirming with Wei Si how many fours he had.
Wei Si gestured back to him from inside his clothes, making it impossible for Cheng Zhen and the others to see anything.
After learning the number, Lao Feng immediately followed up, "Six 4s."
Now the pressure was on Cheng Zhen.
Because he hadn't been able to get information from the two people before him, he could only guess how many 4s were on the table.
Even if Xiao Jiao, Cheng Zhen's next player, wouldn't challenge him, but after the number was raised, it would be very easy for Xiao Jiao to get into a dangerous situation by calling out a number.
"This is a good way to deal with it." Cheng Zhen, with an expression of 'finally, something interesting', casually shouted, "Eight 4s."
Several people: ?
That many?
Xiao Jiao was confused, not knowing what to call out.
"Then you call out nine 4s." Cheng Zhen calmly patted the dice cup, "Anyway, under the new rules, you don't have to drink even if you call wrong, so be bold and try!"
Xiao Jiao: "..."
Try it and die?
Xiao Jiao hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to Big Brother's arrangement: "...Nine 4s."
"Liar!"
Wei Si challenged loudly.
He had three 4s, but he had confirmed with Lao Feng that Lao Feng had no 4s in his hand, only pretending to have many 4s when signaling, to set a trap for the opponent.
Sure enough, the opponent took the bait!
Wei Si didn't believe that those two could have six 4s in their hands!
Xiao Jiao, with a bitter face, opened first.
One 4.
Lao Feng opened, no 4s.
Wei Si's mouth instantly curved into a smile.
Hahahahahahaha, I don't believe that kid left can have five...
Wei Si's laughter stopped halfway.
Because Cheng Zhen revealed three 1s and two 4s.
Cheng Zhen: "Five 4s."
Wei Si: I'm f*cking... %¥#@!!!
The waiter silently counted, Wei Si owed two cups of wine.
If Wei Si and Lao Feng initially wanted to take the opportunity to kill Xiao Jiao, they were now completely enraged by Cheng Zhen.
In a short time, Cheng Zhen's hate value even surpassed Xiao Jiao's, and the two were now completely focused on how to win against this kid just once.
But after several rounds of operations, there was no winning, but several cups of wine were owed.
"Seven 3s!"
"Liar!"
"Six 5s!"
"Liar!"
"...Three 2s."
"Liar!"
Wei Si & Lao Feng: Are you f*cking crazy, challenging even three 2s?!
But that wasn't the most infuriating part.
The most infuriating thing was that out of 20 dice on the table, there really weren't three 2s!
Is there still justice? Is there still law?
What the f*ck kind of luck is this!
Especially Lao Feng, who was above, was now so angry that Cheng Zhen had practically stripped him naked.
"Hooch... Hooch..."
Lao Feng's eyes were bloodshot with anger, wishing he could bite Cheng Zhen to death.
After Cheng Zhen's fifth successful challenge, Lao Feng's stay of execution began.
The two of them were certainly unwilling for this to happen, and immediately exchanged glances, preparing to take down Cheng Zhen and Xiao Jiao, one each.
But the waiter suddenly spoke, interrupting Lao Feng's action—
"Guest No. 10, Boss William and your supporters have heard that you have an exceptional marksmanship skill and hope to witness it."
"If you are willing to demonstrate, you can use a single-bullet firearm to replace drinking!"
Lao Feng was surprised, wondering if his performance on the first floor had triggered some special plot.
If so, he could wait a little longer.
Anyway, he wouldn't die from a gun, so why would he be afraid of not outlasting Cheng Zhen? If the special plot could give him some good rewards, that would be even better!
Lao Feng nodded in agreement and picked up the gun the waiter handed him.
He easily pulled the trigger. After two dry fires, he sneered at Cheng Zhen:
"Kid, didn't expect this, did you? I triggered a special plot! Now, wait to die—"
Bang!!!
The gunshot interrupted his unfinished words.
Blood and brains splattered all over Wei Si.
Wei Si's face immediately went blank.
And the waiter smiled, adding to the corpse on the ground: "Sorry, sir, I forgot to tell you something."
"This gun's trajectory deviates to the right!"
