Section 279 Journey 8
"I have witnessed countless natural beauties with my own eyes. Zhang Liqiang said as he painted. "I used my brush and camera to portray a lot of moments. However, I later discovered that the most beautiful thing in the world is not the natural scenery, but the people, especially the ...... Belle. Think about it, 'the flowers are similar every year', and there is no natural scenery that cannot be reproduced. It doesn't change even for thousands, tens of thousands of years. But the beauty of human beings, especially of women, is too short. In just five years and ten years, the years will change the youthful appearance...... Wrinkles will grow......"
Amber smiled slightly. Her words reminded her of the privileges of sorceresses—even if the warlocks themselves didn't know why—that they could keep their faces as long as they were when they were youngest. And this one is even just an ordinary warlock.
“…… Yes, a little bit...... It only takes a little crow's feet to change that perfection. Zhang Liqiang continued. "The only way to do that is to ignore it, or to modify it. But this is actually a fraud...... It's like you can turn an ugly monster into a beautiful woman through makeup! What is false is false, and it will only make people disgusted......"
"What are you thinking, Amber?" Zhang Liqiang noticed that his model was a little absent-minded.
"Lu Wu doesn't know what he's doing...... Amber replied casually. Although it was a short separation, it was ...... Why do you want to see him so much in your heart, but when you are really together, you feel a little uneasy?
……
"How is that possible!" Ren Jian jumped up and looked at the rotten deck of cards in the other party's hand. "You dare to go all-in with such a hand?"
"Why don't you dare?" replied with a smile. "Friend, you know, although we are playing cards, it is not the cards in our hands that really determine the outcome of the game, but ourselves. ”
Sitting opposite Ren Jian was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, tall and thin, even barren, with blonde hair and deep-set eye sockets, just like a tuberculosis ghost or a malnourished poor man in ordinary people's concepts. But just now, he won Ren Jian's ten handfuls in a row.
Ren Jian feels that the level of observation and observation of words and colors can be regarded as an entry. But he couldn't penetrate the confident smile of the other party at all. The other party's expression just now, that kind of leisure, that kind of full of anger, that kind of pride hidden in the corners of the eyes...... All indicate that he has a good deck of cards in his hand, a straight flush. At least a straight. But I didn't expect that the opponent's cards were simply bad cards that didn't form. If Ren Jian didn't give up, but followed to the end, then there would be no suspense about winning this game.
There were even a few spectators on the side who began to cheer, of course, not for Ren Jian.
"Do you want another game?" asked the leprosper.
"Forget it. Ren Jian sighed and stood up, no longer having the confidence to continue playing. It can only be said that when you meet a real master, you can only admit defeat in betting.
At a distance from his table, several people were looking at the game.
"Are you sure it's possible......" someone asked softly.
"I'm looking for a professional gambler...... The master who has ever won a gold bracelet...... Rest assured, you will never lose. On the other hand...... They just gave up and didn't have a chance. ”
"Don't worry, see it, that ......" The speaker pointed with his hand and pointed to an old man with gray hair, a serious expression, wearing a dress, which made people instinctively think of the words "scholar" or "housekeeper", and looked like a casino foreman. "Psychology professor, he's going to be in charge of making them want to stop!"
It's also amazing to say, Ren Jian didn't want to play this kind of card game that comprehensively tests the psychology and luck of gamblers, so he went to a few roulette wheels and other places on the side to play at will. This type of turntable, then it's all about luck. But I don't know what happened, he can only sit down on the roulette table for a while, and then go back to playing cards like a ghost.
During the whole process, there was nothing to be seen in the foreman - he was standing on the sidelines, looking ready to serve the tourists (and of course he didn't actually offer anything to the other tourists). Just said something to a few male and female waiters around me from time to time.
"Oh," someone whistled softly. "Amazing, how?"
"I've asked about that. According to the professor, in fact, the human heart, unless there is imminent interest or danger, is usually in a state of 'chaos', which is very complex and chaotic. At this time, in fact, he himself didn't know what he wanted, or he wanted too much and too complicated, so that he showed too many choices. So on the surface he left, but in fact he had a desire to return to the table, and at this time he needed proper guidance to get him back. Maybe it's just a casual remark from someone around you, a casual look and expression, or a discussion...... It can guide people to the right place. ”
"Of course," the speaker said. "The most important thing is that our targets are not vigilant and unguarded. ”
Yes, there is no vigilance. This is the root of everything – how can it be?
In modern society, this is already common sense. A regular casino, its method of making money is by no means aimed at anyone, it is only aimed at big data. In other words, the casino assumes that all the guests are a whole, and it only needs to win money against that whole. And for a specific person, then the casino does not matter, or rather, there are wins and losses is the norm. That's why everyone knows that casinos are sure to make money at the same time, but there is always a group of people who are counting on gambling to make a fortune - they want to win while more people lose, so as to achieve a "win-win" for themselves and the casino.
Only those small and illegal small casinos and small gambling games will play thousands of tricks against customers, and only win and not lose.
In order to achieve the goal of making money without losing money, that is, relying on big data to make money, casinos will naturally introduce a series of institutional restrictions to prevent things from getting out of control. One of the important points is that there is a limit to the amount of bets. In other words, there is a limit to winning or losing per unit of time. Even if you stink enough to stink a skunk, there's a limit to how much you can lose in a day.
So for the really rich, unless you stay in the casino for a few months or even years, you can't lose it all in a short time. And how long will the casino be open for this cruise? It will only last for four or five days. In other words, even if you do lose your mind, there is a limit to how much you can lose.
Of course, in addition to this, the rule of using chips only and not cash is also a seat belt. When it comes to each game, you can't tell how much you've lost. But when you change chips, you know how much you're spending. No one cares about 300 yuan, but 300,000 or 3 million...... These large Arabic numerals are great stimulants. The so-called big glass of wine will not get drunk, and this is the reason for drinking a small cup of wine and lying at the bottom of the table. Boiling a frog in warm water kills a person.
It is precisely because of this that Ren Jian is not vigilant about this matter at all.
Ren Jian, who returned to the edge of the table, had a noticeable improvement in his luck. At least two times in a row, he touched the big cards...... But his opponent, the foreigner who looked like a tuberculosis ghost, had a really keen sense of smell. Although he lost a lot, he managed to avoid the worst outcome. However, the tuberculosis ghost also made a mistake, and the next time he touched a good card, he disguised it too obviously, and Ren Jian saw through it, and as a result, he wasted a great opportunity.
In short, after three or five consecutive rounds, although Ren Jian won back a little, he couldn't talk about victory. However, the tension between the two people, the atmosphere of gunpowder, gradually became stronger. They are getting more and more targeted to each other, and there are more and more chips, and they basically gamble according to the upper limit. So much so that the other gamblers sensed that something was wrong and chose to get out of this heads-up.
At this time, a gray-haired, older foreman appeared here. He first politely saluted the two gentlemen, one fat and one thin, and then said that their actions had already affected others. Because no one else dared to gamble. However, this practice does not violate any rules, so the casino has no position to stop it. He suggested that since the two of them were interested in having a one-on-one game, it would be better to go to the box inside. The environment on the other side of the box is much more elegant and quiet, and there are also the best dealers and services, which can provide the best conditions for two people to compete. The casino is completely neutral on this, winning or losing is only a matter for the two of you, and it has nothing to do with the others, and the casino won't even take a rake. And this table, it's left to someone else.
These words were reasonable, polite and natural, and coupled with the old man's expression and attitude, there seemed to be no reason to refuse at all.
So the two exchanged a gunpowder-filled glance with each other, and got up and left together.
The cruise ship's casino does have good boxes.
Unlike the lobby, the private rooms seem to be the kind of places that are more free. Let's put it this way, the hall is full of people, but there are only a few people in the box. Several casino staff, including the dealer. These people will only serve them for some time to come.
In addition to the two of them, there were a few other spectators, all of whom took advantage of this opportunity to come in. Casinos don't care about such spectators, and they can also act as some kind of notary to certify the game.
Speaking of which, it may be because of the change of table, Ren Jian's hands stinked again. Although Ye Nan and Jiang Xiaoyun also came over at this time. However, the arrival of the two of them did not improve their luck in the slightest. There were fewer and fewer chips in front of him.
Even he himself was actually deflated - this leprosy foreigner did have a keen sense of smell and daring. Even if he cursed his hands for smelling, he actually knew that it was indeed the other party's superior skills. Even the two girls are not interested.
To put it bluntly, Ren Jian's level of observation and pretense may be enough in the business field, but in the casino, he can only be regarded as a beginner. Those real gamblers, who are not as keen as a needle? As long as you have the slightest loophole, you can find out the truth by these needle-like eyes.
Forget it if you lose it all! Ren Jian already had this idea. Speaking of which, he actually lost a lot of chips this time, probably hundreds of thousands...... And he has already made up his mind that he will never play again if he loses it. I am not this material at all!
But at this time, he touched a good hand.
It's not a good hand, it's a very disguised hand, which means that if you can tempt the other person, that hand can turn it over...... Even if it's not a complete turnover, at least you can win back a lot of what you lost!
