Chapter 361 - 46

Chapter 46: The Ninja World's God of Gamblers: RobinThe amount Robin bet wasn't much, but it still caught many people's attention because she actually dared to bet on triple 2s with 100-to-1 odds. However, most people thought she was just a novice daydreaming about turning a small stake into a fortune. Some even began to mock her; after all, people like this could be found in the casino every day.However, Robin ignored them, her gaze fixed on the dice cup. Seeing her like this, the dealer finally snapped out of it. He called out once more, "All bets are in, no more bets. Open!"Seeing that no one else was betting, he opened the dice cup. Upon seeing the numbers on the dice, everyone was stunned. The three dice inside were neatly arranged, and it really was triple 2s!Now, the onlookers were getting restless. Various expressions appeared on their faces: envy, jealousy, and exclamations about her good luck. Robin, however, still said nothing, merely staring at the dealer. Her meaning was clear without words: he needed to pay up quickly.The dealer took out ten thousand and handed it over. After Robin received it, she pulled out a single hundred-denomination bill and turned around, handing all the remaining money to Naruto.It must be said that Naruto's reaction was a bit undignified. He looked at the heavy sum of money in his hands in disbelief, standing frozen in place. After a long while, he excitedly walked to a nearby chair and began to count the money blissfully.Meanwhile, Robin placed the hundred in her hand back onto triple 2s and said, "Shake them! I'm betting on this again."This caused an even greater commotion among the crowd. Many people sneered at her behavior, thinking she had simply struck it lucky once and was now acting arrogant. Besides, if you want to show off, why not go All-in? Why only bet a hundred?Wanting to act like a big shot while being stingy with money—gradually, this sentiment took over. Furthermore, the dealer's people were also starting to get angry.As the saying goes, "In ten bets, you lose nine." Except for in films and television, how many people in reality can actually win money at a casino?Robin winning money just now was actually a deliberate move by the dealer. If he took everyone's money, it would easily cause dissatisfaction; letting Robin win could attract the attention of others and push her into the spotlight instead.Moreover, he believed that taking back that money would be effortless. He hadn't expected this "kid" in front of him to be so ungrateful as to pull a stunt like this to provoke him.Thus, he spoke up, "Kid, feeling that confident? If that's the case, don't be so stingy. How about playing big and going All-in?If you lose, you only lose a hundred anyway. But if you win, that's a million!"Facing these highly tempting words, Robin had no other reaction, merely responding flatly, "Shake the dice. Open."Seeing her like this, the dealer also got angry. He decided to teach her a lesson and not let her win a single time from now on.So, the dealer quickly began shaking the dice cup, then slammed it onto the table with a "thwack." He stared straight at Robin and said, "All bets are in!"The others hurried to place their bets upon hearing this. Still, no one followed Robin's lead, because they didn't believe that good luck would favor this arrogant kid a second time.But when the dice cup was opened, everyone was dumbfounded again, because three dice with the number 2 appeared neatly before them.Even the dealer's mouth hung open in surprise. He couldn't understand it; he had clearly rigged it just now. The dice should have been a 1, 2, and 3 for a total of six—a'Small'—so why was it triple 2sagain?In truth, Robin had only just learned how to play. Without special training, she naturally couldn't be like the gambling masters in movies who could guess the numbers just by listening to the sound of the dice colliding.When she first entered, she had asked Naruto if there were any Ninjas around. Upon hearing this, although Naruto didn't know what Robin wanted to do, he went to check immediately since she requested it.Initially, he intended to use his Sharingan to take a look, but to avoid alerting the enemy, he abandoned that idea and instead let the Nine-Tailed sense the area.In the end, the Nine-Tailed told him that there were no Ninjas among the dealer's staff in the casino, but in other rooms, there were fifteen Ninjas, with a Jonin leading them.Only after Naruto gave Robin this news did she go to learn how to play dice. Once she understood the rules, she began to use her abilities on the dice cup to create a dazzling display.This time, besides being able to see the numbers on the dice clearly, she discovered another secret of the casino: the table actually had a hidden mechanism. The dealer could control the dice numbers at will.After discovering this, Robin mentally called it a crooked shop. Her original guilt over cheating vanished, and she decided to play a few rounds properly.So, she started by betting on triple 2s at 100-to-1 odds. After the dealer finished shaking, she clearly saw the numbers inside were 3, 4, and 6, totaling 13—a 'Big'.But just as she was about to use her Cien Fleur to sprout an arm inside the dice cup to change the numbers, she suddenly noticed that for some reason, the dealer had proactively changed all three dice to 2s himself.Though she didn't know why he did it, her goal of winning money had been achieved, so Robincalmly withdrew her technique. However, she decided to go again to teach this "crooked shop" a lesson.Then the scene from just now occurred. Seeing her arrogant behavior, the dealer indeed got angry and used the mechanism to control the dice.But this was all futile against Robin. She used Cien Fleur to change the dice numbers into the triple 2sshe wanted.Now, the surrounding noises turned entirely into gasps of surprise and words of praise, all complimenting her incredible luck today.Robin still ignored them. She reached her hand out toward the dealer and said without a trace of emotion, "Money!"The dealer realized now that he had run into a master. Although the bets from other people meant he was still making a huge profit on this round, how could someone as habitually overbearing as him swallow this insult?
