Chapter Index

    Put everything on the line.

    ‘Is that your choice?’

    Wi Ji-cheon looked down at his victory.

    24.

    In terms of first loss, it is one of the better cards.

    On the other hand, Ho Cheon-an’s victory was a number that even Wi Ji-cheon could not be sure of.

    There was a high probability that it was one of the unknown goal cards, and if not, there was a high probability that it was a low number and a not-so-good loss.

    Wi Ji-cheon thought of the goal cards that have not yet been revealed.

    The game continued and various moves were made, but there were six goal cards that never appeared on the game.

    Among those six numbers, there was no fatal hand that could beat 24 and the combination numbers that followed.

    In fact, this was a natural thing to say.

    Wi Ji-cheon and Ho Cheon-an are both skilled gamblers.

    He first identified moves that could act as fatal variables because they were easy to combine or had a very powerful one-shot, and intensively used techniques to make those cards his own.

    In such a situation, the six goal cards that had not yet been confirmed were proof that they were cards of relatively low value.

    A paddle that cannot be reversed.

    I decided to move in with those moves.

    This kind of doubt passed through Wi Ji-cheon’s mind.

    Are there any moments that I passed over without being able to grasp them?

    ‘Things like that happen, too.’

    Wi Ji-cheon confirmed the doubts that came to his mind. An ordinary person would have dismissed the possibility, saying it was nothing more than a trick by the other party, but Wi Ji-cheon accepted such thoughts in his head.

    But I wasn’t captivated by that possibility.

    It is difficult to fully predict the outcome of technology.

    However, if you can guess which technology will be used at what moment, it is quite possible to detect the signs.

    Even though the tension was maintained in the best condition, there was not even a sign of Ho Cheon-an’s technique?

    ‘If there is that much of a difference in capabilities between Ho Cheon-an and me, there is no hope in this game in the first place.’

    “I will accept it.”

    A total of 122 items were put on the board, and the two people picked up the game and revealed it.

    Hocheonan’s card. Lesson 13 and 32. Total 45 points.

    Wijicheon’s card. 24 and 12. 60 points based on genealogy.

    “I won.”

    Wi Ji-cheon opened his mouth to shake his mind lightly to see Ho Cheon-an’s reaction, but Ho Cheon-an only took a deep breath to control his mind.

    After the goal card left the board, three dice were placed on the board to decide the event again.

    This time, Ho Cheon-an wins.

    “It’s your turn to decide on the item. Which would you choose: dice or dice?”

    “I will choose the dice.”

    Wei Ji-cheon looked at Hao Cheon-an putting two dice into the glass and had a question.

    ‘Why did you choose dice gambling?’

    Dice gambling was a sport in which Wi Ji-Cheon was bound to have an advantage, so why did he choose this sport?

    Wi Ji-cheon did not understand that.

    A super unmanned public servant who gambles in an underground gambling hall.

    The martial arts gambling skills performed by the top experts in underground gambling halls were all special, but Gong Bok’s martial arts gambling techniques were the closest to martial arts, and he performed a technique of such perfection that it could be called a secret technique.

    It was a technique called echocardiography.

    Dice gambling was a representative sport called a game of luck among gamblers.

    The reason was simple.

    Limitations of the senses.

    The hand movement of shaking the glass is neither moving the fingers like a golpae nor making large movements like a yabawi.

    Dice gambling is where you have to figure out the number only through the indirect shaking of the glass and the sound of the dice colliding inside the glass.

    Isn’t it only when you can clearly see the shaking of the glass and properly hear the collision sound of the dice inside the glass that you can make an inference or not?

    Echocardiography was a martial arts technique that supplemented this sense.

    The eye power of a martial artist is extremely strengthened through professional training methods.

    But hearing is different.

    ‘Basically, there are many martial arts that make hearing more sensitive…but there are very few martial arts that materialize the information provided by hearing.’

    Rattling. Rattling!

    A glass of transparency appeared in the mind of Wi Ji-cheon, who was using echo hearing. In Wei Ji-cheon’s extremely trained vision, the movement of the glass shaken by Ho Cheon-an was copied exactly and a shaking dice was created within it.

    The shape of the dice that came to Wi Ji-cheon’s mind was closer to a handmade cloud or sphere than a dice, but the shape of this poor dice will gradually become identical to the actual dice as the game continues.

    It took a lot of mental energy to see and hear the opposing gambler shaking the glass and at the same time embody reality in his mind, but it was a level that Wei Ji-cheon could handle.

    ‘You must have known that I was mastering the art of echo-listening on an empty stomach.’

    There is no way Ho Cheon-an does not know that Wi Ji-cheon learned his skills from gamblers in an underground gambling hall.

    Although it may not be taken lightly because it is a good Cheon-an, it still does not change the fact that Wi Ji-cheon has the upper hand.

    ‘It would have been the most likely way to win by quickly ending the dice bet after recovering the situation to some extent with Yabawi.’

    Because Ho Cheon-an lost in the first round, the high stakes, he had no choice but to start the second round with a loss.

    The second edition carries over the stakes of the first edition.

    When Ho Cheon-an started, the stake was only 100, but Wi Ji-cheon’s stake was 275.

    The amount is the sum of 50 stakes on the card board, 100 stakes on Ho Cheon-an’s card board, and 125 stakes on the dice board.

    Wijicheon only needs to take 100 of Hocheonan’s home appliances, but Hocheonan has to take as many as 275 home appliances from Wijicheon.

    It’s difficult.

    ‘But it is nothing compared to the difficulty of losing this game and entering the Yabawi Game.’

    If Hocheonan loses on the dice board, the score will be 100-500 and it will be a tough game.

    There is talk of a last-minute reversal, but will it be a proper match if the game is pushed back so helplessly?

    So, to really win, you had to compete in the second round.

    But why did Wi Ji-cheon choose a dice board where he could have a clear advantage using echo-listening techniques?

    No matter how much he thought about it, Wei Ji-cheon couldn’t understand Hao Cheon-an’s judgment.

    But soon Wi Ji-cheon came to his senses.

    For a moment, my mind was focused on understanding Hocheonan’s intentions, but there was something else I needed to focus my energy on right now.

    ‘Use full use of echocardiography to completely solidify the advantage you currently have.’

    Wei Ji-cheon shook off all thoughts and concentrated on the movements of Hao Cheon-an’s hands and the sound of the glass colliding with the glass. The moment when the cloud-like shape of the dice begins to change, little by little, into a dice-like shape.

    Ta-dak-dak. Perfect! Ta-dak!

    The clear sound coming from Hocheonan’s glass became strangely distorted, and the image of the dice drawn in Wei Jicheon’s mind suddenly became blurred.

    At that moment, Wi Ji-cheon realized that Ho Cheon-an had used a countermeasure to block the echo-listening technique.

    distort the sound

    Whole sound.

    Jeoneum, which even a first-class master could use only clumsily, was a skill that any proper martial artist could use.

    And the point of the electric sound is to produce sound using internal energy.

    If you apply just a little bit of the principle of conduction sound, it is not that difficult to create a sound that interrupts the sound in the glass.

    widely.

    Because of Ho Cheon-an’s sabotage, when Ho Cheon-an’s cup stopped, no eyes were on the dice in Wi Ji-cheon’s mind.

    Wei Ji-cheon smiled bitterly inwardly.

    ‘As always, it is truly a two-faced technology.’

    It is an absolute technology that allows one to understand the dice in a glass, but it is a technology that any martial artist can easily sabotage if they know the principle.

    But Wi Ji-cheon was confident.

    No matter how much the Hocheon Eye interferes, I am confident that I will be able to create a dice with a clear eye drawn in my head.

    ‘I haven’t completed it now, but will you be able to respond even after the dice in my head are completed?’

    Thinking like that, Wi Ji-cheon opened his mouth.

    I bet one on “8.”

    Ho Cheon-an raised the glass without saying a word, and the sum of the dice in the glass was 10.

    After one home appliance came and went.

    Wei Ji-cheon showed off his skills and mixed the glasses. Wi Ji-cheon, who had sufficiently confused Ho Cheon-an with his pronunciation tricks, put down his glass and thought.

    Now it’s time to uncover the secret that Ho Cheon-an has prepared.

    How will Ho Cheon-an demonstrate his wit at the dice gambling table?

    Wi Ji-cheon, who was looking at Ho Cheon-an with 1 penny of anticipation and 90 percent of cool-headedness, opened his eyes wide.

    101 home appliances.

    This was because of Hocheonan, which pushed all home appliances that could be used for dice gambling to the front.

    “All in 6.”

    Wei Ji-cheon stared at Hao Cheon-an for a moment.

    ‘What on earth are you thinking?’

    You can strategically give up the dice board. However, even if you give up the dice game, wouldn’t it be the right decision to take care of what you need?

    Ho Cheon-an must be well aware that echo-listening is a martial arts gambling technique that requires a lot of mental energy.

    Even if he lost, Ho Cheon-an chose to move in, even though he could have eroded Wi Ji-cheon’s mental strength by taking time.

    Wi Ji-cheon raised his glass and felt two conflicting thoughts come to mind.

    Disappointment that the final match, which took place after waiting for 6 months, was a poor result.

    Or, if it’s a good plan, I have expectations that I might be able to turn the game around by seeing an unexpected move.

    In the glass I opened with such emotion, the eyes 5 and 3 were revealed.

    Total 8.

    It was a complete defeat for Ho Cheon-an, who chose to transfer.

    Sigh. Churrr.

    Wi Ji-cheon lined up the home appliances without saying a word. After organizing all the home appliances, the difference in the amount of home appliances was clearly revealed.

    100 vs 500.

    Wi Ji-cheon felt the urge to question Ho Cheon-an, but he soon suppressed those feelings and regained his cool.

    This was because the gambling match was not over yet.

    ‘What can be considered a poor battle can only be discussed when it can completely crush Ho Cheon-an.’

    Wi Ji-cheon took out the dice, encouraging himself to finish today’s match perfectly, which he had prepared with all his heart and soul for the past six months.

    The last event was decided on Yabawi, but it was to decide which side would go first.

    The dice were rolled and Wi Ji-cheon picked up the glass according to the result.

    Before turning the glass.

    Wi Ji-cheon took a last look at Ho Cheon-an’s expression.

    Ho Cheon-an’s expression was as unreadable as ever, but somehow Wei Ji-cheon seemed to know what Ho Cheon-an was thinking.

    ‘Are you planning on trying to move in again this time?’

    In that case, I will make the best move I can.

    Wi Ji-cheon moved the glass with that decision.

    Ssss!!

    The Black Dragon Qi began to cover the board.

    However, the steel ring made up of the black dragon flag was not in the shape of a screen like before.

    A shape that changes naturally, like a living dragon playing in the clouds.

    Papabababat!

    In that image, Wijicheon’s rock skills were unfolding.

    ‘Five months of learning martial arts gambling. I learned a lot from you.’

    Wei Ji-cheon learned a lot from Ho Cheon-an. Starting with gambling, what is the key to winning in each sport, what should you do, how should you think, and what should you enjoy in the process.

    The essence of gambling that he learned from Ho Cheon-an was all incorporated into Wi Ji-cheon’s skills now.

    Kang Hwan’s application of only part of the hand technique at an exquisite moment.

    It was a sophisticated operation that could not even be compared to five months ago when the entire gambling area was blocked.

    This was not just about minimizing concentration and energy waste.

    Sometimes it’s more confusing to show than to hide.

    It hides only the key movements of the technique at precisely the right moment.

    Is it just that?

    When the glass was moved, a lump of steel was created as if it were moving between the glasses, disrupting the view.

    Wi Ji-cheon’s martial arts skills allow him to move Kang Hwan freely. And even the level of gambling skills that can match the shell of such ardent martial arts skills.

    Wi Ji-cheon thought.

    At this moment, even if Ho Cheon-an is the best gambler in the world, he has the upper hand.

    widely.

    Wi Ji-cheon’s hand, which had been moving brilliantly, stopped.

    Wei Ji-cheon thought as he looked at Ho Cheon-an’s expression seen through the scattered black dragon flags.

    Did Ho Cheon-an really see the current number? Couldn’t you see through it?

    Wi Ji-cheon’s face, who was trying to guess Ho Cheon-an’s intention, became stiff.

    This was because both of Hocheonan’s hands were moving.

    Ho Cheon-an’s hands were wide open and moving slowly.

    All of Hocheonan’s home appliances that were caught up in the movement were dragged to the center of the gambling table without a single exception.

    Move in!

    A choice that may end six months of gambling.

    Ho Cheon-an’s expression did not change after making that choice.

    “One hundred in the center.”

    Wi Ji-cheon raised the glass in the center with the same movement as before in this game.

    And in the center glass…

    There were dice in it.

    Churrr. Sigh.

    Ho Cheon-an naturally pulled the home appliances piled up in front of Wi Ji-cheon towards him, as if the outcome had already been decided.

    200 to 400.

    It was still a gambling game where Wijicheon had a huge advantage.

    The wind of change began to blow.
