Chapter 420 The Desire to Win. (10,000 words, please vote!)

So, for a moment, Ellie froze.

At this moment, Fang Tangtang, supported by the maid, walked to Qiu Tu's side.

She stood timidly in front of Qiu Tu, then whispered, "Brother...you were looking for me?"

Qiu Tu waved to her, and Fang Tangtang obediently sat down next to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu put his arm around her slender waist, then looked at Ellie and said, "Deputy Director Ellie, do you think I'm lacking in women?"

"Or rather, you're prettier and have a better figure than my Tangtang?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ellie's gaze involuntarily shifted downwards, landing on Fang Tangtang's chest.

Girls are quite sensitive about their body shape. Even though Fang Tangtang was wearing a loose nightgown, her prominent curves and the way they swayed as she moved betrayed a hidden depth...

Coupled with her youthful appearance, she was the epitome of a seductive enchantress.

To be honest, even if she were a girl, Ellie would be a little tempted.

With such a beauty hidden in Qiu Tujin's house, it certainly doesn't seem like he lacks women.

Thinking this, Ellie felt a surge of hatred that made her teeth itch again.

She hated that Qiu Tu had such a beautiful girl by his side, and she also hated herself for giving herself up, yet Qiu Tu didn't even care!

This makes me lose face! Doesn't it?!

Thinking this, Ellie glared at Qiu Tu, her twin ponytails bouncing a few times, and then said, "There's something wrong with your logic."

Just because there are no beautiful women around you doesn't mean you can resist the temptation just because there are new beautiful women around!

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared in them.

Ellie seems to have some brains after all. She actually discovered the flaw in her own words.

At this point, Ellie continued, "Besides, what I bet you with isn't what you want, but what I have."

"What I have now is myself! And what I cherish most is myself!"

"You don't have to gamble, but you can't laugh at my betting stake!"

Qiu Tu smiled upon hearing this.

He whispered a few words in Fang Tangtang's ear, then patted the girl's round, perky bottom, telling her to go upstairs and continue sleeping.

Fang Tangtang is gentle and timid. If it were any other girl who was woken up in the middle of the night and then told to go back to sleep, she would probably have exploded.

She merely nodded weakly, glanced furtively at Ellie and Yan Yan across the way, then got up and, accompanied by the maid, went upstairs to sleep...

After Fang Tangtang left, Qiu Tu spoke up.

He looked at Ellie, then at Yan Yan beside her, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. "You're not all alone. You have your best friend too."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ellie was startled, and then her face turned bright red!

"You're dreaming!"

"I am willing."

The two girls spoke almost simultaneously.

Ellie was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yan Yan with disbelief!

Ellie felt that Yan Yan was acting a little strange tonight, whether it was her imagination or not.

In the past, Yan Yan was the kind of little angel who always had an innocent smile on her face, as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Moreover, whether doing things or speaking, they are neither too fast nor too slow, like a clear mountain spring, clear and lively.

As a result... Yan Yan's face now seemed to show a hint of competitive spirit, and even a hint of impatience.

Ellie couldn't help but softly call out, "Yan Yan..."

Hearing Ellie's words, Yan Yan seemed to realize something. Her gaze subtly swept towards the direction Tangtang had left upstairs, before she looked at Ellie beside her, smiled sweetly, and whispered, "Ellie..."

"I believe you. Just as you believe me."

"Since Director Qiu feels that your bargaining chips are not enough and you need to add me, then let's add me."

"Anyway... you're not going to lose, so what are you afraid of?"

Perhaps because they've been best friends for over a decade, Yan Yan clearly had a "user manual" for Ellie in her hand. She paused, then asked, "Or... Ellie, are you worried you'll lose?"

Ellie, who was initially hesitant, conflicted, and conflicted, immediately bristled upon hearing Yan Yan's words.

She said with an air of arrogance, "How could I possibly lose! I am the God of Gamblers, Ellie!"

Hearing Ellie say that, Yan Yan chimed in, "Yeah, you're the gambling god Ellie. You're going to win anyway, so what's there to worry about whether you bet on me or not?"

Upon hearing Yan Yan's words, Ellie's face showed a struggle.

She remained like that for several seconds before finally nodding vigorously and saying, "That makes sense."

After saying that, she looked at Qiu Tu and said decisively, "I'll take your bet!"

While the two girls were talking, Qiu Tu propped his head up with his hand, stroked the cat's fur with one hand, and watched the amusing scene with great interest.

Seeing that Ellie had agreed to the bet, Qiu Tu's smile deepened.

He asked, "Deputy Director Ellie, before the game begins, I have two questions to ask."

Upon hearing this, Ellie couldn't help but say, "Please ask."

Qiu Tu asked, "1. What's your gambling etiquette like?"

Ellie said confidently, "I can't speak for other things, but my gambling skills are impeccable."

"Even if I lose, I'll sell all my possessions, my clothes, my underwear, to pay back the money!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then continued to ask, "Then may I ask... what is the format of our bet?"

Ellie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's guess big or small!"

"Three dice, 3-10 is small, 11-18 is big."

Hearing Ellie's words, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Perhaps Qiu Tu's agreement was too easy, because Ellie hesitated for a moment before quickly adding, "The use of cataclysmic abilities or cataclysmic treasures is strictly prohibited!"

"I will use monitoring tools. If anyone uses the power of cataclysm, they will lose immediately."

Qiu Tu nodded. "No problem."

Ellie:...

For some reason, Ellie felt like she had overlooked something, which could very well lead to her complete failure.

But... after trying to recall carefully, she couldn't remember what it was.

So she hesitated for a moment, then opened one of her card-shaped "spatial treasures" and took out two items from it.

One is a mosquito coil-shaped cataclysmic artifact, and the other is dice and a dice cup.

She lit the mosquito coil first, then introduced it, "This is 'Monitoring Incense'."

"It's made from a catastrophic material called 'whale saliva'."

"Whale saliva, this 'catastrophic material,' is quite magical; it can automatically absorb catastrophic power."

"Therefore, after special treatment, when it is lit, its fragrance will permeate the entire space. After that, once someone uses a cataclysmic ability or a cataclysmic artifact, the fragrance will automatically be absorbed by that person."

After listening to Ellie's introduction, Qiu Tu nodded slightly. "Interesting."

After saying that, Qiu Tu picked up the little black cat that was lying on his lap, put it on the ground, gently patted its bottom, and said, "Find a place to rest."

"Meow~~" The black cat looked up at Qiu Tu in a human-like manner.

Qiu Tu shook his head slightly, and the black cat then wagged its tail and ran upstairs in a flash.

After seeing the black cat off, Qiu Tu gestured to Ellie and said, "Then, let's begin."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ellie no longer hesitated.

She picked up the dice, threw them into the dice cup, and then started shaking them frantically!

"Clang, clang, clang!" The sound of dice hitting the dice cup echoed continuously, like a sudden storm, reverberating throughout the empty hall.

Qiu Tu leaned back on the sofa, watching Ellie with great interest.

Ellie's twin ponytails were practically flying into the air as she frantically shook the dice.

And so it shook for a good twenty seconds!

Ellie then slammed the dice cup down on the table and said in a low voice, "Alright, guess big or small!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu didn't guess first, but instead asked a question, "So... what's the stake for this round?"

"Will you and Yan Yan stay with me for one night?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ellie's face flushed red. She glanced at Yan Yan again, and after seeing Yan Yan nod firmly at her, she nodded vigorously as well, "Okay!"

Qiu Tu smiled and then said, "So my bet is... if I lose, I have to tell you what happened these past two days, right?"

Ellie nodded, "Yes!"

Qiu Tu nodded. "Okay. Then... I'll choose 'Big,' go ahead."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ellie's expression changed visibly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to reconsider?"

Qiu Tu looked at her with feigned confusion, "What's there to consider?"

"Isn't this just a game of luck?"

"Three dice, six sides, a total of 6*6*6=216 possibilities."

“其中3-10点有108种可能性，11-18点同样有108种可能性。”

"So whether it's big or small is completely random and fair. It's just a matter of who gets lucky."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ellie swallowed hard and said, "You're right."

"Then I'll open it and see if what you said is right."

As she spoke, Ellie reached out to touch the dice cup. But then Qiu Tu stopped her, "Wait a minute."

"It would be too suspicious for us to open the dice cup ourselves for our bet."

At this point, Qiu Tu looked at Yan Yan beside him and said, "Miss Yan Yan, would you please open it?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yan Yan happily stood up and said, "No problem."

After saying that, she walked over and opened the dice cup.

Behind her, Ellie reached out to stop her, but then withdrew her hand halfway through.

She sighed softly, then said, "You win."

Sure enough, as the dice cup was opened, it contained three dice: 4, 6, and 3. The total was 13, a high.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu also smiled.

Then he said, "It seems... you and Miss Yan Yan will belong to me tonight."

Ellie's face turned ashen.

She looked at Yan Yan.

Yan Yan had her back to Ellie and was staring directly at Qiu Tu, her body trembling slightly.

Ellie clenched her teeth involuntarily: Yan Yan... she was clearly terrified. What terrible things had she done?!

Thinking this, Ellie suddenly stood up and said to Qiu Tu, "Qiu Tu! Do you dare to bet with me again!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked at her and asked, "Still guessing big or small?"

Ellie hummed in agreement.

Qiu Tu asked, "What about the stakes?"

Ellie hesitated for a moment, then said, "You ask."
