A Card Shark’s World - C7

Thinking of this, I immediately continued to observe. It didn’t matter if I didn’t look at them; I was able to see through their tricks with just a glance. It’s not that I’m smart or that I have good eyesight, but the things Elder Wang taught me really work.

Not only were they signalling, but one of them dealt the same cards as I had done before! However, his methods were not as efficient as mine. After all, I started training my hands with Elder Wang, my master, many years ago.

Previously, I knew that I definitely wasn’t the only one who knew what Elder Wang was teaching me. I didn’t expect to meet him now. From time to time, I would think back to what Elder Wang had said to me.

He said that a real Qian was usually quiet at the game table, playing cards in broad daylight under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and although the idle people nearby were staring at the hands of the dealer without blinking, they still didn’t notice anything unusual, but when all the cards were revealed, they couldn’t help but turn pale with fright — Oh my god! The master’s trump card was actually three old Aces!

It was like playing whatever he wanted! Let you lose money in the intangible, bankruptcy in the silent.

As the saying goes, an amateur would watch the excitement while an expert would watch the flow. Those who did not know the inside story would naturally not understand the details and secrets behind it, and would only be secretly surprised and envious of the Zhuang family’s so-called “good luck”. Those who were familiar with the inside story would have already understood it.

This technique was somewhat difficult to master. Before the dealer dealt the cards, he would look at and memorize the cards in his hands. When the card was ready to be dealt, if the third card was the old one and the dealer was in fourth place, then the old one would go to the old one, and the old one, in order to keep the old one, would quickly and ingeniously control the old one and would not hand it to his own, and then would quietly hand over the other card under the old one to his own, so that the old one would move against the old one in front of everyone’s eyes, without anyone noticing, and keep it for himself.

As such, after the dealer dealt the three cards, all the veterans who had their positions set beforehand ran to the dealer’s hands, and those who did not know what was happening thought that it was because of his luck that they were able to get such a big card.

Therefore, this was “Thousand Arts!”

I didn’t expect these people to be my peers. I didn’t know why, but I suddenly felt a little excited but also a little nervous.

It seems like I’m not the only one in this place. These people are too obvious with their signals. Even if they don’t, a fool would be able to tell that they’re in the same group.

It did not take long for this place to attract the attention of others. It was because these few old men had the face of leopards every time. After killing almost all of them, with just a few cards, he had won less than three thousand yuan.

When I saw this, I couldn’t help but shake my head. Although these fellows had some ability, they didn’t know how to restrain themselves.

This thing that exploded with gold flowers.

Meeting the cards of “leopard” was equivalent to being extremely expensive. The cards of “golden flower” were on the side, while the cards of “chain” were on the side of “well-off”. The cards of “pair” and “single card” were the daily life.

And you are a leopard for several times in a row. At the same time, a middle-aged man walked in from outside. His gait was steady and firm, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that gave him a scholarly air.

After entering, he lit a cigarette for himself and then walked over to stand beside me.

I’ve never seen this person before, but from the looks of it, he wasn’t a gambler. As for what he did, I’m not too sure. Who would’ve thought that he would give me a cigarette. I said thank you for lighting it.

After that, he didn’t pay any attention to me, but instead stared at the few people who had over a thousand years of experience. After about ten minutes, he nodded, grinned, and left.

Today I won more than 700 feeling more or less, in the glasses man, a few minutes after the departure. Just as I was about to leave, a dozen more people suddenly rushed in from outside with steel pipes and machetes in their hands.

“Let’s end it here for today, let’s play another day!” The one leading the group was a bald man.

Seeing that, I seemed to have understood something and hurriedly headed towards the door. The people didn’t stop me either. When I came out, I saw through the window that the thousand people were surrounded by a crowd, and soon there was a row in the room.

Then, before I could even see what had happened, a series of screams resounded through the courtyard!

I was also shocked. Not long after, the door opened and the three old men were carried out. Everyone was covered in blood and one of them had already fainted. Glancing at the blood stains, I realised that their right hands were all cut off!

My legs trembled a little when I saw this scene. I swallowed my saliva, turned around, and walked outside. After coming out of the game room, my whole body was still trembling, and cold sweat kept dripping down my forehead.

When I got back to the hotel, I locked the door and lay down on the bed.

Too terrifying!

I’ve heard Elder Wang say that once a thousand light captors get hit, the heavy ones would be chopped off! I didn’t expect that I would encounter such a thing. The most important thing was that I had spent a thousand years in that place before those other people!

If it wasn’t for those old bums, I might have continued.

If the bespectacled man found out about what happened in the back, then I would really be finished.

Although my thousand techniques are clearly higher than those few people, I’m not afraid of ten thousand, but I’m afraid of what happens if!

Sitting up from the bed, I lit a cigarette and took a long drag. My hands were still shaking a little. I told myself to calm down. It took me a while to recover.

It seems that the middle-aged man today is the “dark light” of the casino in the game room (the dark light is also the person who caught Qian watching the casino). According to my analysis, I was not caught because I won too little, and I didn’t get caught again and again.

Elder Wang once taught me that in the gambling house, it’s best if you can’t use a thousand. If you can use literature, you can never use martial arts.

I hadn’t been able to figure out what he meant at the time, and it was only now that I understood what he meant.

Today, those few people went in and won a few thousand dollars in a few hands. How could they not be suspicious?

There were also a few people who used the word ‘martial arts’, while I used the word ‘literature’. It wasn’t that strange for them to be caught.

(In the Thousand Sects, “martial arts” refers to the stealing, switching, and other high-risk skills. “Literacy” refers to the low-risk skills such as washing, hair-control, recognition, and so on.)

Now I finally understand, giving a thousand on the gambling table is a very risky thing to do!

Previously, I was thinking about using the game room as a ATM. It seems that it really is: A pug biting the moon – how ignorant!

I didn’t dare go to the game room for the next few days, and I moved out of the hotel.

I took the remaining few hundred yuan and went to the Internet Cafe. At this time, Little Fatty Du appeared in the Internet Cafe.

Soon we were back together again, and I asked him to play on the computer for dinner.

There was a saying that goes, money is not enough. Money is the fastest thing that ever went, and within a few days I was back before liberation.

Before I could say anything, Little Fatty Du said, “Sixty, I still have thirty yuan, how about you go to the game room and get some more?”

I rolled my eyes at him and told him what had happened that day. Little Fatty Du looked frightened for quite a while before asking, “Are you for real?” You didn’t lie to me, did you? ”

I didn’t want to waste words with him so I said, “Believe it or not, if you want to go, go by yourself. In any case, I won’t go to that place again even if I’m beaten to death.”

That was what he said, but people were despicable.

After we were chased out by the internet cafe owner, I got so angry that I couldn’t care less in an instant. Once again, I made preparations and hid everything inside my sleeves, taking out 52 poker cards before bringing Little Fatty Du to the game room.
