Chapter 180: Chapter 168 Dice Game Five Chapter 180: Chapter 168 Dice Game Five The electronic voice sounded.

——————————————

“Round two has ended. Now announcing the total points for each team:

White Team: 4 points

Black Team: 3 points

This round’s victory goes to the White Team.

One minute later, the third round of the competition will begin.”

——————————————

The system announced the results of the second round. The White Team had won, meaning that in the last moments of the previous round, Chen Xiao had indeed been bluffing that gorilla.

This brought the score to an even 1 to 1.

“Hahahaha!” As soon as the gorilla heard that the Black Team had only scored 3 points, he burst into a rough laugh, “You were cheating me after all! Now that it’s even, I want to see what you three are going to do next! Hahaha!”

He said with a schadenfreudian grin on his face.

After hearing the results of this round, the short-haired man also showed a gloomy face, but then he closed his eyes. His attitude couldn’t have been clearer; no matter what, he couldn’t roll the dice anymore in the upcoming rounds. Otherwise, even if the Black Team won, he wouldn’t be able to advance.

It’s not wrong to pursue victory, but to stubbornly keep adding pressure to oneself, isn’t that foolish?

…

…

A minute passed by quickly.

——————————————

The third round has started, with a time limit of three minutes…

——————————————

With this prompt, the Black Team’s predicament officially began.

…

The next second.

“I’ve rolled!”

Chen Xiao slapped his phone down on the table, then folded his arms and spoke.

“Huh?” The remaining two members of the Black Team made a pained expression… even the White Team was taken aback.

“Hey, I’m asking you, kid, did you even roll?” The short man directly complained irritably from the side.

Chen Xiao, however, twisted his face away, ignoring the other completely.

“You scoundrel, it seems like you want to shirk responsibility…” Seeing Chen Xiao’s arrogant manner, the short man immediately flew into a rage, and cursed, “Damn it, what was a perfectly good tie has been stirred up by your so-called cleverness. If this round…”

Before he could finish, Chen Xiao interrupted with a forceful response.

“Wah-lah-lah~ wah-lah-lah~ baby, baby, don’t grow up~ be a good, obedient child, ahh!!! Hang on the wall, shoved under the bed, lying in a cage to keep mommy company, ahh!!!…..”

All of a sudden, he began singing at the top of his lungs. His voice was like sandpaper scraping against metal, so endearing… uh, no, it was spine-tingling.

“Hahaha~ Fighting among yourselves, huh, a bunch of… ow, mother, that’s so damn hard on the ears, stop singing already!” The gorilla just wanted to take the opportunity to taunt them, but even he was silenced by that voice.

The short man cursed loudly, “Damn it, how did such an idiot show up in the betting competition? This guy’s cognitive evaluation score must be less than “10” for sure!”

The rest of them were plugging their ears and grimacing; the situation became very chaotic for a moment.

But even so, nobody let their guard down during this time; they were all watching each other carefully.

They were all wary that the others might use this opportunity to pass information to one another.

Although the Black Team’s “short-haired man” likely wouldn’t roll the dice again, with only three people left in the team, it couldn’t be ruled out that driven by desperation, they would “unite against a common enemy”.

Of course, the chances of that happening were very small. How small? About as small as the likelihood of the present company succeeding in losing weight.

Because up to now, the “short-haired man” had at most thrown a 4. This means if someone from the Black Team ended up with a total score higher than 4 points after this round, then that person basically wouldn’t have a chance of advancing.

Therefore, unless the members of the Black Team held a conference right in front of their opponents, it was unlikely that any of them would dare to roll more than 2 points.

Even rolling a single point was too daring for them.

…

…

The three minutes quickly elapsed.

This round proceeded exceptionally simply because, aside from Chen Xiao making a continuous racket of nonsense, almost everyone else was busy plugging their ears, hardly speaking a word.

Immediately after, the system announced the results of the match.

——————————————

“The third round is over, now announcing the total points of each team.

White Team: 3 points

Black Team: 0 points

This round, the White Team wins.

In one minute, the fourth round will begin.”

——————————————

…

Um… yes, you read that right—the total number of points thrown by the Black Team in the third round… was 0 points!

The reason? Well, it was believed that they were likely to lose this round, so they decided not to throw the dice and take a chance on luck. Maybe if the teammates hadn’t expected it and threw one or two points, at least there would be an advantage within their team.

Unfortunately, everyone on the Black Team thought the same way. That’s why such an embarrassing scene occurred.

…

“Hmm… 2 to 1, a comeback, huh…” the dispirited man said indifferently, yet there was no hint of joy on his face. Then, he murmured to himself in a volume only he could hear, “This is going to be tough.”

The frail-looking woman also lowered her head slightly and swept a glance at her teammates with an expressionless face.

A minute passed by quickly.

——————————————

The fourth round begins…

——————————————

The electronic prompt arrived as expected.

Now, with the score at 2 to 1, the White Team is leading. If the Black Team loses one more match, they will have to roll on home.

In this crucial moment, every player from the Black and White Teams became extremely cautious, remaining silent, each engrossed in their thoughts.

The previously chaotic scene quieted down in an instant, oddly enough.

After a little while…

“I’ll still throw 1 point…” Chen Xiao said hesitantly and tapped on his phone.

The short man looked up upon hearing this, glaring at him in a markedly unfriendly manner, then took a deep breath.

“Damn it!”

He cursed, and then fiercely tapped on the screen.

…

The short man… he threw 1 point…

Um… Actually, that was all he could throw.

Because whether it was the second or third round, all of his teammates chose to abstain, and the opposing team had already won two rounds… So, if he threw 2 points this round, even if they won, they wouldn’t be able to advance. If he continued to abstain, then there wouldn’t be any chance of advancing at all.

To sum up, he could only throw 1 point and take a bet that there would be at least three people on the opposing team unwilling to end the match.

As for the girl who had been quiet since the beginning, she also frowned slightly.

This round’s three minutes were exceptionally silent, besides the mumble from Chen Xiao at the start, no one else spoke a word.

Time was up, and the system began to broadcast the results.

——————————————

“The fourth round has ended, now announcing the total points of each team.

White Team: 1 point

Black Team: 3 points

This round, the Black Team wins.

In one minute, the fifth round will begin.”

——————————————

“Phew… Beautiful!” the short man exhaled, actually ready to accept defeat, but he didn’t expect to win the bet.

“Heh, just as expected,” the lackadaisical man revealed a smile as if it was all within his predictions, and took out another cigarette to put in his mouth.

“Since it’s come to 2 to 2… in the final round, there’s no need for anyone to keep holding back…”
