As soon as Zhou Gong's words fell, Yang Yan jumped up excitedly, "Wow, that's great!" Her scream caused the other guests in the café to look curiously, not knowing what was going on, thinking they had won some kind of jackpot.

"Thank you, master, I will definitely do my best to learn your skills!" Wuwei was also very excited, he couldn't imagine that things would be completed so smoothly.

Zhou Gong waved his hand and said to Wuwei very seriously: "It's too early to call me a master, whether you can really become my apprentice or not will have to go through a period of training, and the final result depends on yourself, no one can help you." ”

"Please rest assured, master, I promise to withstand any test!" Wu Wei said firmly.

"To be my apprentice, you have to pass three levels, which can also be said to be three stages of training. The first level is the cultivation of interest, which can also be called gambling. If you want to become a professional gambler, you must have fanatical energy. To do anything, you have to love it and give everything you have for it. It's the same with betting, you have no problem with this level, it's already over. Then comes the second level. When Zhou Gong said this, he suddenly stopped, looked at Wuwei and asked him, "Do you know Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching"?"

"I know that my name comes from the phrase 'do nothing and do nothing' in the Tao Te Ching, so my grandfather asked me to read the Tao Te Ching since I was a child. Wuwei felt very strange in his heart, he didn't know what Zhou Gong meant, could it be that there was any connection between the Tao Te Ching and the second level?

"From now on, you have to give up all activities and concentrate on reciting Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. I will give you three months, during this time, you must use your pen to seriously copy the Tao Te Ching fifty times, you must copy it stroke by stroke, without a trace of scribbling, and at the same time read the Tao Te Ching at least ten times a day, of course, the more the better. In three months, if you can integrate the Tao Te Ching into your heart, then you will pass this level. ”

Wuwei couldn't have imagined that the second level arranged by Zhou Gong would be like this, it felt incredible, he couldn't figure out what the connection between Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" and his own training was, and it was completely unrelated to two things. There are eighty-one chapters of the existing "Tao Te Ching", and it takes more than an hour to read it carefully, and more than ten hours to read it ten times, and it has to be copied again, and there is no free time at all at the end of the day. There is half a year before the poker tournament, and it will take three months to learn the Tao Te Ching, so what else is there to train? Thinking of this, Wuwei asked Zhou Gong softly: "Master, can I ask a question?"

"Of course, you can ask. ”

"I can't think of how learning the Tao Te Ching will help me improve my poker skills? I only have half a year to go before the poker tournament, and if I spend three months studying the Tao Te Ching, I am afraid I will not have much time to improve my poker skills. ”

"Haha...... There is really no direct connection between the Tao Te Ching and gambling, when can you answer this question, and you will pass this level. As for participating in poker tournaments, that's your business, it has nothing to do with my training, you can't have both bear paws and fish, you should understand this truth, how to choose is up to you. ”

"I understand, master, I will carefully read the Tao Te Ching, and I will definitely pass the second level. ”

"Well, I have to leave now, and I'm going to get out of here today. Remember, I'll be in Las Vegas on time for you in three months, and if you pass this level, then I'll arrange the next stage of training, and if not, we don't have a relationship. Zhou Gong stood up as he spoke, he looked at Yang Yan kindly, and said in a loving tone: "Yan Yan, Uncle wants you to call home, your father is really worried about you." ”

"I know Uncle Zhou, you must come to us in three months. Yang Yan reluctantly said to Zhou Gong that he was leaving less than an hour after meeting Zhou Gong.

Wuwei and Yang Yan accompanied Zhou Gong out of the café, and just walked outside the door, suddenly a few people flashed out from the side to block their way. When they looked closely, it turned out to be the seventh member of the Hualong Gang who stopped them with a few people.

"May I ask you are gambling on the Holy Zhou Gong, right?" Lao Qi asked Zhou Gong, a little bit of a bad person.

Wu Wei took the first step in front of Zhou Gong, glared at Lao Qi and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Lao Qi didn't expect Wuwei to follow Zhou Gong, he took a step back in horror: "It's none of your business, it's our boss who wants to see Zhou Gong." ”

"Who are you, why did your boss see me?" asked Zhou Pingping

Wu Wei approached Zhou Gong and whispered: "Master, they are members of the Hualong Gang, and their gang leader is called Zhan Xiongfei." ”

"Oh, I've heard of this man. Zhou Gong nodded slightly and said.

"Our helper just asked me to invite you, saying that there is something important to discuss with you, and I don't know what the specifics are. Lao Qi said to Zhou Gong.

"I don't think you're here to invite me, it's like kidnapping, and it seems that I can't go if I don't go. ”

Lao Qi hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou Gong is joking, the Zhan Gang Master is indeed asking us to invite you." ”

"Master, shall I go with you?" Wuwei said to Zhou Gong with some worry, Wuwei thought to himself that these guys were really ghostly, and they always appeared around him.

Zhou Gong nodded, and then said to Lao Qi: "Okay, please lead the way." ”

Lao Qi waved to the side, and two Honda Akula were parked not far away, and when they saw Lao Qi calling them, two urban off-road vehicles immediately drove over.

Wu Wei, Zhou Gong and Yang Yan got into one car, and Lao Qi took a few other people into another car.

The two cars sped out of Atlantic City along the Ocean Promenade and after a little more than ten minutes of driving, they pulled into a resort and stopped in front of a beautiful villa.
