Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"How is this possible?" Lin Ping stared intently at the numbers on the dice, his eyes filled with incomprehension. He clearly saw that the three numbers in the dice cup were two, three, and four, but now they had become three, four, and five.

The hundreds of gamblers gasped in shock and pounded their chests in frustration.

They weren't actually rich; they just loved gambling. This time, they lost everything, their lives, and they'll never have a chance to recover.

Many people are disheartened and have no attachment to life. Their empty eyes look somewhat frightening, as if they might do something foolish at any moment.

Many people also began to complain about Lin Ping, initially by cursing and then by raising their fists.

Pang Xingji immediately drew his longsword and stood in front of Lin Ping, shouting angrily, "Anyone who takes a step forward will be killed without mercy!"

This fellow was already burly and strong, and with his military background, he exuded a fierce aura. He immediately startled these defenseless gamblers, who could only accept their bad luck.

Jiang Yunying quickly walked to Lin Ping's side, took his hand and said, "Husband, let's think of other ways. Gambling is not a long-term solution."

In Jiang Yunying's view, Lin Ping's previous wins were entirely due to luck. Now that his luck has run out, he is bound to lose money.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten gamblers lose, let alone someone like Lin Ping who doesn't know when to quit while he's ahead. Sooner or later, he'll lose all his principal.

Lin Ping was naturally moved, but he didn't want to stop there, and he didn't believe there was something wrong with his right eye, so he turned on his X-ray vision again and stared intently at the dice.

Sure enough, Lin Ping discovered a problem with the die: a dark substance was hidden inside what appeared to be a smooth, even surface.

"It was a magnet!"

Lin Ping immediately drew a conclusion, so he enhanced the function of his right eye, directly penetrating the gambling table, and just in time saw that the dealer was holding a magnet.

In other words, the numbers Lin Ping originally saw were correct; the dealer tampered with the dice cup when it was opened.

By utilizing the principle that like poles of magnets repel and unlike poles attract, the number two was flipped over and became five.

"Wife, they're cheating!"

Lin Ping pointed at the dealer and said.

Jiang Yunying firmly believed in Lin Ping's words. With her jade feet slightly propelled against the ground, she appeared beside him. With her left hand, she quickly pulled out the dealer's arm hidden under the table and then kept increasing the force.

Although this person was skilled in gambling, he was not good at martial arts and immediately winced in pain, dropping the magnet from his hand to the ground.

"Tell me, what is this?"

Jiang Yunying's voice was colder than a thousand-year-old ice cave, frightening the man so much that he trembled all over, and a stench of urine filled the air.

"My wife's left hand is mine!"

Lin Ping was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he should have let Pang Xingji take action instead of letting someone else touch Jiang Yunying's left hand.

At the same time, Lin Ping picked up a magnet from under the table, placed it next to the dice, and it immediately attracted one of the dice.

The gamblers weren't fools; they naturally understood the situation. They all glared angrily at the house, wishing they could devour him alive, without spitting out the bones.

Next, the cashier who was collecting money got into trouble. He seemed to see countless raindrops falling on him, then he saw stars and the moon, and even heard the clear chirping of birds, before he fainted on the ground.

"Everyone has seen it. Jinmanlou's gambling den is cheating. You will never win!" Lin Ping said righteously. How could he miss the opportunity to educate the people?

The gamblers all lowered their heads, knowing full well that Lin Ping was right. They regretted stepping into the gambling den, knowing that there would be no turning back.

Everyone can talk about grand principles, but how many can actually put them into practice? Many of them have lost everything because of gambling, so how can they turn back now?

"Sigh..." Lin Ping shook his head helplessly, knowing that this was even more difficult than persuading a prostitute to reform herself, and that his high reputation and many fans were of no use.

At the same time, Wang Laoqian finally couldn't hold back any longer. He walked up to Lin Ping and said expressionlessly, "How about I make a bet with the Prince Consort?"

Lin Ping glanced at him and replied dismissively, "How do we bet?"

"Let's bet on the numbers in this dice cup. If the Prince Consort can guess correctly, the money the City Lord's Mansion owes Jin Manlou will be settled," Wang Laoqian said confidently.

"What if I guess wrong?" Lin Ping asked doubtfully, also wanting to see just how capable the other party really was.

“If I guess wrong…” Old Swindler Wang’s expression grew even colder: “Then leave all the money you’ve won behind, and pay off the debt owed to the City Lord’s Mansion today!”

"Very good! Manager Wang is indeed decisive!" Lin Ping was not angry but amused, and even applauded the other party. His face also turned gloomy: "However, there are more than ten possible numbers that can be formed by three dice. This seems unfair to me. How about I add another condition?"

Wang Laoqian initially thought Lin Ping was a complete spendthrift, but he didn't expect him to know about probability. However, when Lin Ping said there were more than ten combinations, Wang Laoqian knew that the outcome was already decided.

He's a master at rolling 33, which means he has at least 30 possible combinations. In other words, Lin Ping has no idea that there could be a number higher than 18.

"What are the conditions?" Old Qian Wang asked dismissively, already prepared to agree.

"If I win, I will come here to gamble every day until I win all the money in Jinmanlou, until all the gambling dens close down!" Lin Ping said coldly.

Actually, this isn't a condition at all; whether or not Wang Laoqian agrees is not up to him.

If Lin Ping can really beat his opponent, he can definitely beat all the gambling houses in Jinmanlou. At that time, it won't be a problem to win as much money as he wants. When Jinmanlou can't hold on any longer, it will naturally shut down these gambling houses.

However, the gambling den was one of Jin Manlou's lifeblood businesses. Aside from bribing officials at various levels, its daily net profit reached a thousand taels, amounting to thirty thousand taels a month—an astronomical figure. Therefore, Jin Manlou would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Okay! I promise you!"

Wang Laoqian readily agreed, and even started shaking the dice cup impatiently.

Among gamblers, there are also some experts who can even roughly judge the number of points by the sound of the dice hitting each other.

However, as these people listened to the sound with great interest, they immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Wang Laoqian's methods are so sophisticated that they have disrupted the normal flow of the game, making it difficult even for top gambling experts to determine the exact points.

Lin Ping, however, pretended to be a big shot and listened patiently, actually trying to put psychological pressure on the other party.

The dice in Wang Laoqian's hand moved faster and faster, even leaving multiple afterimages. Even Jiang Yunying had some difficulty watching it, clearly indicating that he was a trained fighter.

Before long, beads of sweat the size of soybeans began to drip from Wang Laoqian's forehead, and even his heavy robe was soaked with sweat, which was enough to show how much effort he had put in.

Out of curiosity, Lin Ping activated his right eye to check what was inside, and saw that the dice were spinning at a speed that was imperceptible to ordinary people.

Just as the dice cup reached its maximum speed, it was suddenly slammed onto the table by Wang Laoqian, the dice inside still spinning incessantly.

"Your Highness, it's your turn to guess!"

Wang Laoqian asked in a sinister tone.

"Manager Wang, don't think I, Lin Ping, am ignorant. The dice in this dice cup are still spinning, how can I guess?" Lin Ping replied calmly.

Wang Laoqian was exposed by Lin Ping to his face, and he was somewhat embarrassed. He immediately lowered his head and dared not meet the gazes of hundreds of people.

It must be said that Wang Laoqian's gambling skills were quite impressive. From the moment the dice cup stopped spinning, the dice spun for a full quarter of an hour before finally stopping.

Using his right eye, Lin Ping easily observed the situation inside the dice cup, and involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat. He muttered repeatedly, "How am I supposed to guess this?"

Lin Ping had heard that Wang Laoqian once rolled a total of 33, which meant that the three dice split in two due to violent shaking, with the five and six points facing up, totaling 33.

This was the best Lin Ping could think of; the opponent couldn't very well slice off all six sides of the die and then place them face up, could they?

However, this time, Wang Laoqian overturned Lin Ping's understanding, managing to roll an even higher number without cutting the dice.

Lin Ping rested his chin on his hand, pretending to be deep in thought, his eyebrows furrowed, pacing back and forth around the table, remaining silent for a long time.

"Your Highness, the dice have stopped rolling. You may now make your guess."

Wang Laoqian said dismissively, in his opinion, Lin Ping could only guess and couldn't possibly figure out the numbers inside.

"This..." Lin Ping said with great difficulty, "I guess it's the highest score!"

Wang Laoqian was immediately delighted, but he couldn't activate the Gu immediately, lest Lin Ping cheat, since there were many possibilities for the highest score.

"I wonder what the maximum score is?" Old Qian Wang asked, feigning confusion.

"Of course it's 18 points!" Lin Ping answered without hesitation.

This time, Wang Laoqian smiled even more broadly, even anticipating Lin Ping's disheveled appearance and the City Lord's Mansion's predicament in repaying the money.

"Has Your Excellency made up your mind?"

Wang Laoqian symbolically gave Lin Ping a chance to back out, his palm already touching the dice cup, the answer about to be revealed.

At that moment, a gambler who had received favors from Lin Ping ran up to Lin Ping and mumbled something in English.

Lin Ping's mouth moved wider and wider, feigning extreme terror, and he hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute, I've changed my mind, it should be thirty-three!"

Clearly, this person had briefly recounted Wang Laoqian's legendary exploits to Lin Ping.

Wang Laoqian still had a smile on his face, and asked again to confirm, "Has the Prince Consort thought it through this time?"

Lin Ping patted his chest and said confidently, "I've thought it through, it's forty-five points!"

The crowd, who had been holding their breath, spat out a mouthful of saliva upon hearing this. What happened to the promised 33 points?

How did it become 45 points again? You, Lin Ping, are amazing! Show us 45 points and broaden our horizons!

Jiang Yunyu kept tugging at Lin Ping's sleeve, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, wishing he could step onto the stage and compete himself. Even guessing a random number would have a chance of winning, but what the hell was this forty-five points? Forgive my ignorance, Jiang Yunyu, I can't figure it out.

Li Mingxuan was also extremely anxious, naturally not wanting Lin Ping to be caught in Wang Laoqian's trap.

"Husband, I believe you!" Only Jiang Yunying cast a trusting glance at him. Of course, she didn't know how to play the dice, otherwise she would definitely have kicked Lin Ping away to prevent him from causing trouble for the city lord's mansion.

However, Wang Laoqian's hand remained frozen in place, covered in cold sweat, trembling uncontrollably, and he stammered, "Grandpa, Prince...Madam!"

"Yes!" Lin Ping readily replied, "Good grandson, Grandpa is listening!"

Wang Laoqian was not angry at all because Lin Ping had taken advantage of him, and continued to ask, "Have you thought it through?"

“That’s right, I’ve decided, it’s 45 points, no changes!” Lin Ping answered with absolute certainty.
