Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and said, "How about this, for now everyone is just playing around and trying it out, not really playing a gambling game, and the initial bets don't count. Since you are Brother Hong's friends, I've helped you out, and it would be awkward to charge you. How about this, the money we win from Ma Shu, after deducting your previous losses and reinvested capital, we'll split the rest equally into five parts, is that okay?"
Gu Yuan and the other two were taken aback, then looked grateful. Wei Haihong laughed and said, "I think we should do as my brother says. When I came to Hong Kong before, you treated me to good food and drink. Xiao Zhou is my brother. I can't speak for others, but I can speak for him. No problem!"
Gu Yuan and the other two breathed a huge sigh of relief. They were already struggling to make ends meet, and if they had to spend a large sum of money, their families would find out, and things would get really tough for them and Hua Jianxing. So when Zhou Xuan and Wei Haihong mentioned it, Gu Yuan was the first to reply: "Hehe, Brother Hong, then we'll gladly accept your offer. To be honest, we've lost badly this time and are in a real bind!"
Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business. Mr. Gu, how do you plan to play this dice? Big or small, odd or even? Or the number of points?"
Gu Yuanhua, Jianxing, and Zeng Guoyu all felt relieved at this moment. They didn't have to spend tens of millions of yuan all at once, so how could they not feel relaxed? But they also trusted Zhou Xuan even more!
Zhou Xuan lost over 50 million yuan for nothing. If he was really just trying his luck, he wouldn't have thrown away such a large sum of money so easily. Who knows if he could win again in the future? If he was trying to scam someone, he should at least have kept the money he had in front of him, right?
This made Gu Yuan and the others more convinced. If Zhou Xuan was trying to deceive them, why would he throw away the tens of millions he had already won? As for the money later, according to him, it would be split equally after winning, and they would have to deduct the more than 200 million they had lost before. If it was split equally, the share would be five people, so how much would that be? Perhaps far less than what he could get now!

Volume 1: The First Signs of Growth, Chapter 277: Remote Control Dice
Gu Yuan rolled the dice, and Zeng Guoyu didn't remotely control the numbers. This first round was, of course, to see Zhou Xuan's skill and whether he was truly good at gambling.
"Mr. Zhou, how about this? Anyway, there are only a few ways to play dice: Big/Small, Odd/Even, and guessing the number. In terms of difficulty, guessing the number is probably the most difficult. Mr. Zhou, you can either play Big/Small, which is the most common and easiest, or you can play the most difficult one, guessing the number!"
Gu Yuan didn't know exactly how skilled Zhou Xuan was, and couldn't be too explicit. In any case, they couldn't see any real skill in Zhou Xuan. Apart from winning, they couldn't really explain why he won. In their hearts, they still felt that luck played a large part!
Zhou Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Alright. Let's go for the most difficult one, guessing the numbers. Judging from the sound, the first one is three, five, and six!"
Gu Yuan himself didn't know the number he rolled in the first round; he didn't have the ability to do so. But Zeng Guoyu didn't know either, because he had already decided not to remotely control the roll in the first round, and wanted to see if Zhou Xuan could actually guess it.
Zhou Xuan said he guessed by "listening to the sound," and that was his trump card. As long as Gu Yuan and the other two knew he had cheated, it wouldn't be a big problem. As he had said before, even Gu Yuan and the others understood this. There are many gambling experts, but no one would openly admit how they cheated. He didn't deny cheating, but as long as no one could figure out how he cheated, then it could be said that he hadn't cheated!
Gu Yuan's hands were no longer trembling. Anyway, Zhou Xuan had said he didn't want the money, so winning or losing didn't matter. It was just a game. Zhou Xuan had said it was three, five, or six points, so he gently lifted the lid of the dice cup.
Several people stared wide-eyed at the dice on the table: one three, one five, and one six—just as expected, the dice showed three, five, and six!
Wei Haihong smiled nonchalantly, while Gu Yuan, Hua Jianxing, and Zeng Guoyu were genuinely stunned!
If Zhou Xuan won the previous three rounds of poker and all-in by luck, what about this dice game? They were absolutely certain it wasn't luck!
Moreover, there was absolutely no cheating involved, because Zhou Xuan didn't touch the dice cup or the dice. If anything, it might be that Zhou Xuan had exceptional hearing and had practiced it. At this point, Gu Yuan and the other two truly believed that Zhou Xuan was a real master!
Gu Yuan stared at Zhou Xuan, who only smiled faintly, as if it were none of his business. Surprised and speechless, Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then picked up the dice cup again and shook it vigorously. He shook it left and right, then started shaking it erratically, without following any pattern. Even a skilled listener would be wary of such random shaking.
With a loud thud, Gu Yuan slammed the dice cup down on the table, then extended his right hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, please!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Four or five points, big!"
Just as Gu Yuan was about to unveil the door, Zhou Xuan reached out to stop her, saying, "Wait!"
Gu Yuan was taken aback and asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and said casually, "If we were to roll the dice again now, the result wouldn't be four, four, or five anymore. It would be three sixes, a triple!"
Gu Yuan and Hua Jianxing were both taken aback, and then they both turned their gazes toward Zeng Guoyu!
Because they knew Zeng Guoyu had a remote control on him, the reason the dice changed was obviously his fault, but was it three sixes?
Zeng Guoyu's expression changed, both surprised and astonished!
He was utterly shocked. Just now, when Zhou Xuan said 4453 points was big, he secretly pressed the remote control to change the number to three sixes. But this was done wirelessly and secretly. How did Zhou Xuan know? Could it be superhuman hearing? That's probably the only explanation that makes sense. Surely he doesn't have eyes that can see through mountains?
Upon thinking of the piercing eye, Zeng Guoyu immediately wondered if Zhou Xuan was wearing high-tech contact lenses.
Gu Yuan was taken aback when she saw Zeng Guoyu's expression change. If Zhou Xuan really guessed correctly that it would be three sixes again, then he would be a true genius!
This is the second result after Zeng Guoyu secretly altered the situation using a remote control!
Gu Yuan held her breath and then gently lifted the lid of the dice cup. Sure enough, there were three sixes underneath, the same color and the same number!
Gu Yuan, Hua Jianxing, and Zeng Guoyu were all dumbfounded!
Zeng Guoyu paused for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Zhou, I'd like to ask, are you wearing contact lenses?"
Zhou Xuan chuckled, understanding Zeng Guoyu's meaning: he suspected that Zhou Xuan was wearing X-ray glasses!
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng, I think you should understand that no technology in this world has reached this level yet. Of course, there are technological products that can see through things, but it's absolutely unique to be used on contact lenses. In the present, or rather for the next few decades, at least for the next few decades, Earth's technology cannot reach this level. To apply X-ray vision technology to thin contact lenses... How about this, I'll turn my back, you shake it again, and I'll guess!"
Zeng Guoyu and the others were not unaware of what Zhou Xuan was saying, but they still had these thoughts and doubts, which made it impossible for them not to be suspicious. Zhou Xuan's performance was too surprising!
After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and sat with his back to them. Gu Yuan glanced to the left and right, and Wei Haihong shrugged and smiled, indicating that they should continue. Zeng Guoyu opposite him and Hua Jianxing to his left were also waiting quietly.
Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then held the dice cup with both hands and gently shook it, trying to make the sound as soft as possible. Then she shook it upside down and upside down for a while, making a loud sound one moment and a soft sound the next. She shook it for a full minute before putting the dice cup down.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Two, three, five, ten o'clock!"
Just as Gu Yuan was about to lift the lid, Zhou Xuan interjected, "Three twos, a leopard!"
The added words clearly indicated that Zeng Guoyu had pressed the remote control, and Gu Yuan no longer hesitated, reaching out to lift the lid, somewhat impatiently!
On the dice plate, three twos are facing up – indeed, three twos!
Gu Yuan wasn't just stunned, she was overjoyed, while Hua Jianxing was still in a daze, and Zeng Guoyu was practically dumbfounded!
Zhou Xuan is amazing! He turned his back and Gu Yuan shook wildly, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily. Even a master with trained hearing probably couldn't hear it so clearly, right? But Zhou Xuan didn't mishear it, and he was even facing away from her. It seems he really has developed superhuman hearing!
Zeng Guoyu was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly took out the small remote control from his pocket and placed it on the table. He laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou, I have to admit I have to admire you. At first, when you played Three-Card Poker and Stud Poker, I always thought you were just lucky to win. But now I think it's not what I imagined. You are a super expert, a real master!"
Gu Yuan stood there for a moment, then Zhou Xuan turned around and asked with a smile, "The three of you, are there any other games you'd like to try?"
Gu Yuan and the other two were a little embarrassed. They waved their hands and decided not to try anymore. Zhou Xuan's previous statement about cheating seemed to be 100% true, more real than real gold. In their minds, Zhou Xuan's current performance was miraculous. There was nothing more to try. Ma Shu definitely did not have such amazing skills as Zhou Xuan!
