A Card Shark’s World - C35

The bet between Tengu and I was held in a booth, and other than the dealer, there was nothing else in there. To prevent some extra cheating, no one else was allowed to appear in this room, not even Tengu’s woman.

The dealer who dealt the cards to us was a young man who looked to be about my age, but he was very skilled at it. It was obvious that he had been in this business for a long time.

This card was indeed as the Four Fingers had said, this card was specially made for gambling. This special card for gambling was different from other poker cards in the sense of the touch. The paper quality of this poker card was rather hard.

Besides, this poker card has a steel seal on it, which is the kind of steel seal that paper money has against counterfeit. This gambling device could even beat the casinos in the county. Here, my Cloudwater Sleeve has no use at all.

Before the deal, I checked the cards with Tengu, and there was nothing wrong with making the dealer start the deal. I got 345 on the first card, and they were all red peaches.

Tengu and I each have 50,000 yuan in chips, this can be considered a huge gamble. I directly threw 1000. When the dealer dealt out the cards, I didn’t notice anything wrong, so I dared to place such a bet.

The Tengu opposite me calmly placed his bet. If you were to say that I was the best player in this game, then it would have to be someone bigger than me, a Solo or a Leopard, to be able to defeat me.

Just like this, the two of us calmly did not open the card until 5000, but the money thrown out on the table already amounted to 10,000. This is a wager for both of us, the moment it starts, my head would start pounding.

Just by looking at the fact that Tengu is the same guy as me, he naturally beat me by 345 points. He lost 5000 points in the first round. This made me a bit fidgety. This dealer must have more than 1000 points.

Speaking of this dealer, he must be an expert. Firstly, he sent me a very smooth sailing, causing me to let my guard down. This kind of attitude where I think I have to win makes me place bets on him.

At this time, Tengu’s card was slightly bigger than mine and he won naturally. It seems that I have to look favorably upon this dealer, or else I will lose for sure!

“Brother Tengu, isn’t your card and mine too big? Moreover, it’s not easy to get the same card, but two at the same time. Is there a problem with your dealer?”

“Sixth brother, isn’t that right? What you said wasn’t right. You were watching the card deal just now, how could there be a problem?” “How about this, if you suspect that there’s a problem, then you can just shuffle the cards. After washing up, you can have him deal the cards, right?”

In the following match, I decided to shuffle the cards. I roughly flipped through the cards and memorized the positions of each card. Before I came here, I had already trained my eyesight for half a month.

It’s not difficult for me to remember the location of a whole deck of cards, but the difficult thing is to know the color of each card, but it’s also enough, this is also considered my harvest from the last time I played cards with Four Fingers, it looks like no matter how much I spend, my eyes and hands are the most important thing, it seems like martial arts like Yun Shui Xiu can only be used to win some money in a small town, but when I come to a big city, I won’t even be able to show my face.

When I was shuffling, I purposely placed the three old A’s in the position that was given to me, and the position of the Tengu was given to me by the three old K’s, which meant that both of them were the biggest leopards in my hand, but my leopard was bigger than his and could be said to be a sure win.

Of course, if I wanted to win, it would have to be if the dealer didn’t play any tricks. I watched the dealer take the cards I washed and start dealing, without any doubt. Suddenly, Tengu suggested a round of stuffiness.

The so-called boring match meant that the two of them didn’t even look at their cards and just went down. In the end, they just wanted to see who won. This was also the most exciting way of playing.

Since Tengu suggested playing like this, I couldn’t refute him. After all, he is the leader of the faction, and besides, the three senior cards in my hands are the biggest cards in my hand. No matter what cards Tiangou turns into, I will win for sure.

After we went dark for 20,000 gold, I was dumbfounded when I opened the card. My cards turned into 3 K’s and my dog turned into 3 A’s. I lost completely and only had 25,000 chips left.

It seems like this dealer traded my cards to Tengu, but I don’t know how exactly he did it either. Could it be that the dealer thinks that I will make a big deal for myself when I shuffle the cards and then a small one for Tengu, so he switched our cards?

If I guessed correctly, it was that he didn’t know what cards I had placed, and was only helping Tengu to change his cards according to his own judgement and instincts. If this was the case, then I would turn Tengu into a big card, and a small card would be placed in front of me.

Thinking of this, I decided to give myself a 8 to 9 match, and give Tengu a cun 789. When this dealer dealt the cards, there was nothing strange about it. After he dealt the cards, I also suggested that they be a little bored.

This time, I got another ten thousand, and naturally, Tengu also got ten thousand. As expected, when I opened the card, my cards were as smooth as a flower, and Tengu got eight to nine, so I finally won this round.

I saw a trace of disbelief in the dealer’s eyes, but very quickly the dealer calmed down. I finally understood their plan, it seems that the key to beating Tengu is to win against him, the dealer can’t even remember the position of the card, it means that his eyes aren’t deep. His martial arts are all on his hands, and his martial arts are definitely better than mine.

I still placed a set of small cards in my hands this time, a set of large cards in Tengu’s hands, but this time the situation is different. The Eight Leopard of Tiangou fell into my hands, and logically, the high card in my hand should have fallen into his hands.

It seems that this dealer traded my cards to Tian Gou’s cards, but at the same time, he also traded Tian Gou’s cards to the biggest leopard old A. This dealer is very smart, from this point of view he figured out a few cards’ positions, otherwise he wouldn’t have traded like this.

If I were to say that I’m going to lose another match, then I would be completely finished. The task that Brother Hu had given me would be impossible, and if I didn’t complete this mission, then who knows how he would deal with me once I return to the county city.

I think about it and there’s only one last thing I can do. I’m going to bet once, so I’ll give him three A’s and then give Tengu a cun. You don’t like to trade my cards, but if he does, then I’ll be three A’s and no matter what the price is, I won.

This time, my sweat poured down like rain, this was too tormenting. Just as I pushed the last five thousand down, the Tengu started to speak.

“Little brother, this is your final bargaining chip. If you lose this round, I’ll consider it as winning against you. I won’t be participating in your boss’s business, but if you win, we can continue to play. There’s still a chance.”

“The other way is that you don’t want to bet anymore, go back and change it to a stronger one. If you play this hand, there really is no other way out. You messed up this matter, I believe your boss won’t let you go.”

Damn, I was already very nervous, this old brat actually wanted to provoke me, I really don’t know what’s going on in this person’s head.

“Whatever, success or failure will be decided in one move. Brother Tengu, you can open your cards!”

I was stunned the moment this card was opened. The three A’s of the Heaven Dog had not been changed, but my card had become a high card. This meant that my card was a low card.

“Young man, you’ve lost. Your gambling technique is just like that. You should go back. I hope you can live well!”

“Wait a minute, Brother Tengu I still have a bet. I don’t know if I’ll be able to survive if I go back. I’m going to bet with you with my life!”

“Oh, that’s interesting. Young man, tell me, what do you want to bet your life with me?”
