137: Are you reporting them?

To be called out so quickly, and for the number he stated not to be large, made Cheng Zhen feel quite fresh.

He met the gaze of Number 1, who seemed confident, as if he knew Cheng Zhen didn't have a single 5 in his hand.

Cheng Zhen calmly glanced at his dice cup, letting Number 1 lift it, appearing as composed as if he had ten thousand 5s in his hand.

Number 1 calmly lifted his dice cup: 33346, no 5s.

Next was Xiao Jiao: 12234, the wild die could count as one 5.

Number 2 also casually lifted his: 12566, two 5s.

A total of three 5s.

Cheng Zhen said nothing, lowering his eyes to look at the dice cup, then opened his own.

And just as he lifted it, Number 1 seemed to hear something, his expression changing.

He saw Cheng Zhen's dice: 22355.

"Just right," Cheng Zhen said, looking relieved and fortunate.

"Ha, I was too rash." Number 1's lips twitched, and the attendant behind him marked a drink for him.

Number 2 frowned, his peripheral vision assessing Cheng Zhen, seemingly realizing that Cheng Zhen was not an easy opponent.

The betting continued, and this time everyone was much more cautious.

Until after a few rounds, the number was called by Number 1 to seven 3s.

This number was a bit tricky.

It already accounted for one-third of the 20 dice; going higher would be dangerous.

The next player could only call a number of dice greater than or equal to seven, but calling eight 3s would easily be questioned by the next player. However, if they called seven of another number, with 3 being potentially the most common, calling other numbers would be even riskier.

But Number 1, who called the number, looked very skilled, making Xiao Jiao hesitant to challenge him.

Xiao Jiao was making a difficult decision.

He looked at the others, indecisive.

"Challenge him," Cheng Zhen said calmly, "Even if you're wrong, it's just one mark."

"Okay!" Xiao Jiao nodded, following his big brother's instruction, "Liar!"

Then, he lifted his dice cup, revealing one 3.

Number 2 opened his dice cup behind him, revealing two 3s.

Afterward, Number 1 and Cheng Zhen stared at each other, neither opening their dice cup first.

They glared at each other, gripping their dice cups, for almost two minutes.

The message conveyed to each other was the same—

You first!

You first!!

You first!!!

Finally, the attendant couldn't stand it anymore and walked over, smiling: "Gentlemen, could you please open them together after I count down?"

Number 1 nodded, agreeing.

As the attendant counted down 3-2-1, both opened their dice cups simultaneously, revealing the numbers below.

Cheng Zhen: "No 3s."

Number 1, however, grinned: "Sorry, five 3s."

A total of eight 3s; Xiao Jiao's challenge failed.

Xiao Jiao made a bitter face as the attendant marked a drink for him.

Another similar situation occurred later. After Xiao Jiao made a call, Number 2 challenged. Cheng Zhen and Number 1 exchanged intense glances, then opened their dice cups together. By a difference of one, Number 2's challenge failed, and Xiao Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After this, Cheng Zhen roughly understood.

Number 1, like him, had a way to change the dice results.

Yes, he could change the previously rolled numbers, just like Cheng Zhen.

However, Cheng Zhen relied on his internal energy's "blowing wave."

When he lifted the dice cup to check the dice, he could use a low-power internal energy to subtly shift the dice, achieving the numbers he wanted.

That's why Cheng Zhen often opened his hand last, to leave enough time to change the numbers.

But now, he had met his match.

Although he didn't know what method Number 1 used to temporarily change the numbers, it was clear that this was about to become a cheating competition between two players.

Another round, and the number on the table was called by Number 2 to eight 6s.

Cheng Zhen and Number 1 began their intense staring contest again.

Xiao Jiao frantically blinked at Cheng Zhen: "Brother, I, I, I..."

"Mm, I know you have some."

Cheng Zhen knew Xiao Jiao had quite a few 6s, but for some reason, he still chose to challenge: "Liar!"

Xiao Jiao didn't understand Cheng Zhen's choice but helplessly opened his dice cup, revealing four 6s.

Number 1 beside him smiled slightly, seemingly preparing to change the dice to make Cheng Zhen's challenge fail.

Unexpectedly, just as he made a move, Cheng Zhen suddenly grabbed his hand that was holding the dice cup.

"What are you doing?!" Number 1 frowned, immediately shaking off Cheng Zhen's hand.

The attendant also quickly stepped forward: "Guest, please do not engage in physical altercations with other guests."

"Nothing," Cheng Zhen said, looking at the armed henchmen around him, spreading his hands innocently: "He had a mosquito on his hand, I was helping him swat it!"

"No need," Number 1 replied emotionlessly, flexing his wrist. Finding nothing amiss, he said no more and continued lifting his dice cup.

But when the numbers below were revealed, his pupils constricted sharply.

25555.

No?

I should have clearly had...

Why did my numbers change?!

Number 1 wasn't sure what had happened, but the dice cup had already been opened, and the attendant beside him had seen it, so he couldn't say much.

He gripped the dice cup tightly and placed it aside, his gaze fixed on Cheng Zhen.

It must have been this kid who did something just now to change his dice numbers!

But Cheng Zhen had only touched his hand and the dice cup; how could he change the numbers inside the dice cup in such a short moment?

Number 1's thoughts were in disarray, guessing at Cheng Zhen's technique, while Cheng Zhen calmly opened his dice cup, revealing dice with no 6s.

Just as Cheng Zhen thought his challenge was successful, Number 2 lifted his dice cup, surprising everyone.

Four 1s.

A 1 can be considered any number, so this time Cheng Zhen's challenge failed.

Cheng Zhen was expressionless as the attendant marked a drink for him.

He looked at Number 2, who returned a provocative smile.

This guy, while his attention was on Number 1, also started to make his move.

Alright, then let's have some fun!

Cheng Zhen showed a challenging expression.

Just as Number 2 and Number 1 thought Cheng Zhen was going to have a cheating PK with them, Cheng Zhen suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Number 2, and shouted: "I report him for... cheating!"

Number 2: ???

He was stunned.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Don't you know what kind of place this is?

Who here doesn't cheat?

Number 1's mouth twitched even more, as if a pile of complaints was stuck in his throat with nowhere to go.

You're reporting someone for cheating?

Don't you have some self-awareness about whether you yourself cheated?

The thief crying 'stop thief,' have you no shame!
