When Baby Chu heard this, he said smugly, “Could it be that you don’t dare to take me on because you know you can’t beat me at it!?”
This was clearly a provocation.
Butler Fu broke out in cold sweat, thinking, Old Master, surely you will not fall for such provocation!
However, Gu Jinglian responded with a look of contempt as he slapped the table, saying, “Bullshit. Do you think I can’t beat you?”
To this, Baby Chu immediately said, “Then I’ll bring the chessboard over. We’ll see if you have what it takes to defeat me again!”
Gu Jinglian said frostily, “Come on then, just don’t cry if you lose.”
“I won’t cry!”
As Baby Chu spoke, he immediately went back to his room to get the Aeroplane Chess set that Butler Fu had bought for him.
There are four color representations in Aeroplane Chess, accommodating a maximum of four players, and pictures of planes drawn on the board.
A single die is used in the game. the player shakes the die, and takes the number of steps indicated on the top face of the die when it lands. This happens till the player’s token reaches the end point. However, at the start, the player’s plane token may only leave the starting point and take off when the player throws a 6 on the die. Only when the number of steps to the end point is exactly what is thrown on the die would it be considered a victory. It is a game that depends heavily on luck.
Baby Chu brought the chess set out excitedly. He and Gu Jinglian each selected a color and started playing.
Gu Jinglian familiarized himself with the rules of the game and found it rather novel. Seeing that it was a dice game, however, he found it quite unbearable.
Was this kid sure that he wanted to play dice games with him?
Butler Fu tried to suppress his laughter when he observed this scenario!
Gu Jinglian had spent most of his childhood in casinos. As long as it involved gambling, whether it was a card, mahjong, or dice game, it would be as though he had always gotten exactly the hand he wanted.
Butler Fu thought that for sure, Gu Jinglian would show the boy some mercy. After all, he couldn’t bear it if Baby Chu were to cry after losing?
Who would have thought that Gu Jinglian would be so serious over a child’s game!
As soon as the game started, he threw a 6, hence he could have another go. Gu Jinglian threw four 6s in a row, and all four of his planes took off. But when he saw Baby Chu almost close to tears again, he casually threw a different number.
When Baby Chu saw that it was finally his turn, he solemnly fiddled with the die in his hand for a long time. When it landed on the table, it was a four. He looked completely disheartened and stared at Gu Jinglian as the man threw another two consecutive 6s and took the same number of steps.
He thought it was strange. How could the man so easily throw a six, while he himself only managed to initiate one plane token!?
Baby Chu was quite quick-witted. When it was his turn again, he took the die and started to study it.
A careful examination showed there was likely no problem.
This time round, the boy threw another 6 and he was excited to launch a new plane. After a few more steps, Gu Jinglian’s plane overtook his and it meant that the overtaken plane had to be sent back to its starting point.
Baby Chu looked completely devastated.
Halfway through the game, he overturned the chessboard and was almost in tears. “I’m not playing anymore!”
Gu Jinglian frowned suspiciously. “What’s wrong?”
“I feel like you’re being unreasonable!” The boy pointed out, “How is it that you keep throwing 6s and that doesn’t happen for me?”
Gu Jinglian said, “I’m able to throw whatever number I wish. If you play dice with me, you’re destined to lose.”
“You’re lying!”
Baby Chu did not believe him. “Throwing dice is a matter of random chance!”
“I’m not lying.”
“Fine, throw a 4 then.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jinglian lazily propped his chin on his hand and casually picked up the die. He spun the die on the table, and when it stopped, the top face showed a 4.
Baby Chu’s eyes almost popped out!
