26. Chapter 26
Because the aorta was cut directly, the casino staff came forward and lifted the man up from the ground without saying a word.
No one knows whether he will be sent to the medical cabin for free treatment or wait for this B-level to use 500 survival points to save his life. After all, B-level himself has fainted due to excessive blood loss and lost the opportunity to make his own decisions.
But no matter what, this move really shocked everyone in the central gambling pool.
[Oh my God, how did he do it! ! This is too cool! ]
[Oh my God, did this newcomer get some special props, uh, playing cards? ]
[Back to the upstairs, the main system has basically never set up this kind of offensive props, generally there are more functional props, even the famous S-level prop bloody dagger only has an effect on supernatural beings, such a brutal thing is obviously not a prop at first glance]
[No, then how do you explain that this deck of cards can cut a person's neck, can your playing cards do it? 】
[Uh... Actually, I guess, it's just an ordinary poker card. Because if you look at the back, the suit is exactly the same as the suit of the poker cards on the gambling table in Las Vegas]
The comments were silent for a while.
If it was any other weapon, it would be fine, at least it was still a weapon.
But this is not a weapon, and it is not even classified as a weapon at all. At most, it can be said to be a toy.
It's just an ordinary poker card.
Who would regard a poker card as a weapon?
But just now, in full view of everyone, this thin poker card pierced the sky and directly cut the neck of the B-level trainee, cutting the aorta and bleeding. The scene was extremely shocking.
But the young man sat calmly in front of the gambling table, his light pink eyes were gleaming, and his expression was lazy.
Everyone's eyes fell on his slender, well-defined hands, like white jade porcelain.
Who would have thought that the poker cards thrown by these hands could kill people in a matter of seconds?
Those who realized this all felt cold on their backs, and their eyes finally showed some fear.
Because of the premise of being a newcomer, and because of the huge disparity between the two ratings, Zong Jiu, who was in the limelight, attracted a lot of inexplicable hostility and malice, and countless people wanted to see him fall.
But Infinite Loop has always been in awe of the strong. Only the strong deserve respect.
On the central gambling table not far away, the exorcist said twice: "This newcomer should have partially strengthened his hands. Look at the strength. Not only has it been strengthened, but he is also a martial artist."
It is impossible for them not to see that the scene just now has little to do with poker cards, but it requires a very high degree of wrist.
In theory, as long as the angle and strength are found, even a thin piece of paper can be turned into a deadly weapon and take a person's life in an instant. There are also trainees who have taken the path of hand strengthening in the infinite loop. They are also A-level and one of the core members of the curse team. Their special ability is to detect resentment or add attacks by piercing voodoo dolls.
"It should be that his hands have been strengthened to a high level, but it is still a little short of the top level. But speaking of it, where did he get so many survival points? Is he on credit from the main system?"
"Huh? What a joke, if the main system can open this business, I would not be here to pick my feet? His is probably a time-limited strengthening. However, I am more curious about his extra 20,000 chips. As we all know, only S-level props can add 20,000 chips out of thin air."
After a lot of talk, he threw the cards in his hand on the table: "Bye. Boring, no more play, I can't beat you."
The gambling game at the central gambling table was absolutely suspenseful. Once Zhuge An gets serious, none of the seven S-levels present can beat him. Unfortunately, he looks really good today.
They just tried a few rounds, and except for two times when Zhuge An folded early because of bad luck, they didn't get any chips from this stingy guy.
Not all ten S-level players were present.
No.1 was always elusive, and he showed up at the second rating and disappeared again. No.2 Fan Zhuo and No.3 Zhuge An were there, and there were two other S-level players. They knew that they came to gamble to give Zhuge An a meal, so they came early in the morning to stroll around and left, probably to try their luck in the A-level area.
However, those who can get S-level judgments from the main system are not simple characters.
This group of people may have a backpack full of special props alone. In addition to special props, there are also many rare materials that can be exchanged at the front desk, not to mention several leaders of major forces. For them, hundreds of thousands of chips are just a blink of an eye, and they can still remain calm even if they lose 50,000 on the spot.
Compared with those low-level trainees who still need to sell their lives in exchange for 5,000 chips, it can be said that the drought is dying of drought and the flood is dying of flood.
People around the gambling table left one after another, and Zhuge An also spread out the cards in his hand, picked up the cards on the table and stood up.
"Wow, old ghost, he finally left."
The exorcist pushed the black-clad Azan beside him, "Why don't we play a hand?"
The black-clad Azan frowned and glanced at Zhuge An's back as he walked away.
"Okay, then let's find an empty A-level table to play solo. It's boring with so many people."
####
On the other side, Zong Jiu sat down calmly.
After freezing the chips in everyone's cards, the dealer began to shuffle the cards as usual.
The game on this gambling table is Texas Hold'em.
The number of people in Texas Hold'em is usually around two to ten.
After the blinds, the dealer will give each person two hole cards and then start the first round of betting.
After the betting, five public cards will be opened in sequence, and two rounds of betting will be carried out during the period. After the five rounds of public cards are opened, the two cards in the player's hand and any three public cards will form a five-card deck to form the largest deck, and then compare the size with other players.
Although this casino is called Las Vegas, it is not the real Las Vegas casino in the real world after all. There are many rules that are different from the poker that Zong Jiu played in reality in his previous life. For example, the dealer is responsible for supervision, or the way of betting has changed due to the limit of chips on the gambling table.
But in general, the way of playing cards has not changed, and you can still play tricks based on your skills, so it's okay.
The white man Anthony, who bet the highest on the gambling table, directly increased the original 10,000 chips to 20,000. That is, 10,000 bottom bets and 10,000 raises.
As soon as Zong Jiu saw his appearance, he knew that this person was probably the same race as Vincent in the first copy of the original text.
Vincent simply survived in the copy of the mental hospital. He only heard his name but never saw him. He didn't even see him once.
Zong Jiu estimated that Vincent should have been too conceited at the beginning and went directly into the second floor below ground. As a result, he was thrown into the alien space because of his single action. Later, he was used as a sacrifice by the unsolvable supernatural being wandering in the alien space, and then he disappeared without a trace.
In the original description, Vincent is one of the right-hand men of No.2 Van Zhuo, and also a half-blood of the Night Clan.
The higher the level of the vampire NPC in the horror dungeon, the purer the half-blood bloodline will be, and the more noticeable the vampire characteristics will be. It is said that the pupils of Van Zhuo, who was transformed by the prince of the vampire clan himself, have completely turned into dark red like blood.
Anthony, who was sitting opposite him, had green pupils with obvious red mixed in them, and his skin was as pale as lifeless wax, extremely sick, and looked like a standard half-blood.
If Zong Jiu was not mistaken, it was Anthony who signaled the B-level to provoke him.
It was strange, he had no conflict of interest with their group of half-bloods, so such a sudden test really made people a little suspicious.
Just as Zong Jiu was thinking to himself, the dealer's cards were finally dealt to him clockwise.
The white-haired young man curled his lips, put his fingers on the table, gently covered a corner of the cards, and pretended to lift them up to see his own cards.
This action is very common. Almost all players cover their cards with their hands and lift a corner towards their own position after being dealt two cards, so that they can see the cards clearly and prevent other people at the crowded gambling table from seeing their cards.
Among many casino games, Texas Hold'em is a very formal one. It is simple and easy to learn, and you can get started within ten minutes. Not only is it very famous worldwide, but there are also special formal competitions. It is the absolute protagonist in many movies with gambling kings as the theme.
In many cases, Texas Hold'em does not rely entirely on luck.
In fact, as long as you understand the rules and practice diligently, you can get more information through the trend of your opponent's betting in each small round, or even the changes in your opponent's facial expressions and emotions, and finally use the calculated probability to infer the combination of the opponent's cards and colors, and choose whether to follow or give up. It is precisely because of this that all the players in the international Texas Hold'em tournaments have a dead face before the cards are opened, and they will never let their expressions reveal more emotions.
However, none of this worked for Zong Jiu.
Just as the dealer continued to deal cards to the person below him, he changed his starting hand to a pair of pairs.
The probability of starting with a pair is only 0.45%. Unless there is a lucky person with great luck on this gambling table, Zong Jiu can win without changing the cards.
It is worth mentioning that when he changed the cards, the dealer seemed to glance at him.
The senior dealer is naturally not at the same level as the dealer at the low-level gambling table just now, and the probability of seeing through the tricks is rising sharply.
Since the dealer looked over, Zong Jiu did not shy away, but stretched his limbs and let the dealer look at him.
Seeing this scene, the barrage was full of discussions.
[Speaking of which, no one should cheat at this kind of gambling table]
[I don't know. Anyway, if you are caught by the dealer, the frozen gold will be tripled. This cost is not something that ordinary people can afford. I just saw a cheater was caught at the B-level table and 9,000 chips were directly deducted. If cheating occurs at this table, 60,000 chips will be deducted]
[Wow, 60,000, no one should be so desperate as to challenge a cheating trick]
Just as Zong Jiu thought, the dealer at this A-level gambling table didn't have the eyesight to see the signs of a magician changing cards.
Her eyes moved around the white-haired young man, and then she politely retracted them.
Having said that, this dealer was quite sharp.
It must be more difficult to cheat in front of the only red-clothed dealer in Las Vegas at a higher-level unlimited bet gambling table.
Zong Jiu tapped the table boredly, waiting for others to raise the bet.
He liked challenging things, the more difficult the better.
It would be so boring if the whole casino was easily defeated by him. There is motivation only when there is pressure.
At this moment, the first round of raising was over. The dealer opened three public cards.
Five of hearts, seven of diamonds, five of clubs.
"Raise."
Anthony threw a stack of chips coldly.
It seems that this half-blood has a good bottom card, otherwise he wouldn't raise the chips so happily.
Zong Jiu glanced at the public cards, his hands trembled, and he pretended to pick up the cards at hand. In fact, at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch, he changed his own hole cards to five spades and five hearts.
Five spades, five hearts, five hearts, five clubs. These four cards can form four lines, that is, four cards with different suits and numbers.
Unless a straight flush appears on this gambling table, Zong Jiu will win.
Of course, the appearance of a straight flush also depends on the conditions. If there are no three cards that can make a straight in the five public cards, it is useless even if the player has two hole cards in his hand, because two hole cards cannot form a straight flush. In other words, the probability of a straight flush is as high as heaven. Even if there is a probability that it can appear, Zong Jiu can only move his fingers and change the cards again.
Now, he has only one goal.
There is a rule in Texas Hold'em. At any time, as long as the player feels that the cards in his hand are not good, he can choose to fold.
If you fold, you can stop the loss in time, and you only need to leave the front bet to withdraw. The A-level gambling table has a uniform pre-bet of only 3,000.
In other words, if the other five people at this gambling table all fold, then Zong Jiu can only get back his 20,000 plus 15,000 chips, which is equivalent to no profit or loss.
So now, under the premise of ensuring that he can win, what Zong Jiu needs to do is to deceive these people, give them enough confidence, let them continue to raise their bets, and throw more chips.
Then, he can happily reap the leeks!
More and more trainees gathered around to watch, and since the central gambling table was not open for gambling for the time being, everyone focused their attention here.
"This C-level newcomer is so arrogant. Just now, he was said to have injured a B-level..."
"Isn't it forbidden to intentionally hurt people in the casino?"
"Yes, so the main system deducted 10,000 chips from him, but he got 20,000 chips from somewhere. After the deduction, he can just play another round."
"20,000 chips? This is really strange. Is it an S-level special prop?"
"How is it possible? He is a newcomer, where did he get an S-level? The main system can also exchange a lot of precious materials. Maybe he got something good. Who knows."
The discussion of the audience outside could not be transmitted inside, and there was silence inside the gambling table.
All the other people at the gambling table were observing the faces of others quietly, trying to see some clues.
At this moment, Zong Jiu suddenly waved his hand back. The waiter in a tuxedo immediately stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully.
Everyone focused their attention on him.
The white-haired young man whispered to the waiter, and the waiter showed a surprised expression on his face.
"Of course, we will certainly meet your requirements, sir."
Then they watched the waiter trot all the way to the front desk, and then ran back panting, handing the booklet in his hand to the young man.
"What is that?"
Someone at the gambling table immediately shouted, "Openly cheating?"
[Huh? So blatant? ]
[Even if it is cheating, it is not possible to cooperate with the AI waiter]
[And in public, that is too stupid, thinking that others are fools]
Not to mention the people at the gambling table, the live broadcast room and the audience outside the venue are the same.
They all stared at the small book with a dark green cover in Zong Jiu's hand, their eyes full of suspicion.
"Ah, are you talking about this?"
Zong Jiu pretended to have just noticed everyone's eyes, pinched the spine of the book with one hand, and waved it in the air.
"This..."
The white-haired young man pursed his lips and smiled shyly, which was completely different from the fierce man who almost cut someone's neck with a card while chatting and laughing.
"This is my first time to play Texas Hold'em. I don't know the rules very well, so I have to cram for the time being."
As he said this, he raised the "Texas Hold'em Beginner's Guide" in his hand.
The onlookers: "???"
The question marks on their faces were almost skyrocketing.
Pretend! Just pretend!
Anthony's face was gloomy, "Are you kidding us? If you don't know how to play, don't you know to go back and play in the mud?"
Zong Jiu looked innocent, "I just accidentally read the wrong sign, and thought you were playing blackjack. I'm a master at blackjack."
The trainees at the gambling table had their own thoughts, and no one believed it.
They were not fools, so how could they believe Zong Jiu's nonsense that he didn't read the sign clearly.
This is 20,000 chips! 20,000! Losing is equivalent to losing your life.
Someone sneered, "The cards have been opened. Anyway, the hole cards and public cards are fixed, and you can't run away. Since you've already played, why not play a big one, all in."
All in, all in. It means to add all your chips to the gambling table.
"Okay."
Zong Jiu readily agreed and pushed the purple gold card in front of him forward, "I only have more than 1,000 left. Hurry up and finish this hand. I'm going to open the blackjack next door. Don't waste my time."
Does this guy have a good hole card? So he is so confident?
Although the people at the gambling table may or may not believe it, it must be said that the performance of the white-haired young man is extremely confusing, which greatly affects their judgment and makes things strange.
At this moment, the dealer opened another hole card.
Nine of Clubs.
Anthony narrowed his eyes.
He recalled his hole cards of seven of spades and nine of hearts, and he was already sure of it.
Among the four hole cards opened now, his two hole cards can just make two pairs with the public cards.
If he opens this card, he will win unless someone opens a more special card. Because to be honest, the probability of making a higher card than his is probably less than one percent.
Since the newcomer directly chooses to all in, it gives Anthony a chance. He might as well go with the flow and provoke others.
"Hehe, playing crazy." Anthony sneered and then changed the subject.
"Since the newcomers have gone all in, we old men can't lose face."
He stared at the white-haired young man opposite him like a hawk, and threw the cards in his hand.
Another all in!
The onlookers were all dumbfounded.
With Anthony, the old man, taking the lead, the other A-level players at the gambling table also felt that they couldn't lose face. For a while, the shouts of "all in" came one after another. Only two old men frowned and looked at their cards for a long time, and finally waved to the dealer to fold their cards and quit the game.
There were four people left at the gambling table, and without exception, they chose to go all in.
Anthony said in a deep voice, "Just open the cards."
Since the matter was a foregone conclusion, he slowly showed a smile of determination.
Four people, in addition to his 20,000, the other three people also bet 60,000 in the prize pool, plus the two people who folded their cards, there were still 6,000 bottom bets.
If he wins, he can get at least a grand prize of nearly 90,000 chips, which is really a dream.
The dealer heard this and signaled the player to turn over his hole cards.
Zong Jiu's smile grew bigger and bigger, and he slowly pushed out his hole cards.
There were gasps from the crowd.
Four of a kind! Four of a kind, second only to a straight flush!
He looked at Anthony's livid face and curled his lips.
"Thank you very much, senior, I can't refuse your kindness, so I have to accept it with a smile."
