Chapter 60: The Game
"Oh, why don't you hurry up and place your bets? Such a beautiful day should not be wasted in such a meaningless stalemate. β
Under the still flickering incandescent light, the tone of the nine-headed dealer was playful, and the two hidden cards could not stop it from wanting to show off the idea of operating, and with a strange angle of inclination and rotation, the two hidden cards simply rotated in an hourglass shape between them.
Gao Mi was covered in cold sweat, and his hands trembled a little when he pressed the two dark cards.
Suddenly the intelligent dealer is not only unusually rich in behavior and words, but what is even more terrifying is that these changes are also reflected in its card skills - if the dealer technology like the NPC in the past is compared to the difficulty of R, then the current intelligent dealer technology is RD.
Even stronger.
Because in this consecutive dozen games, the dealer has not lost once, compared with the previous losses and wins, it is not much different from the crazy difficulty.
As the first top student in the mathematics department of Kassel Academy, Gao Mi already felt deep despair. He still has 200 ancient silver caps left in his chips on the field, because he has the best technique, so he breaks his tail at the critical moment every time, but this does not change the fact that the chips are losing less and less; Wan Boqian is also a science student, but unfortunately when Gao Mi kept sending her chips, she only had 100 ancient silver bottle caps left.
As for Chen Wenwen, although her initial chips are more than double that of the two, she has never let go of her mind on the game, and the biggest understanding of this seemingly life-and-death and freedom game is the rules that are known under the popular science of the Kassel Academy couple.
So, there are still 150 antique silver caps left.
"Come on, come on, buy and leave, buy and leave, my dark cards are not very good, don't you want to gamble on your luck?"
The dealer smiled strangely, and after Chen Wenwen bet 50 ancient silver caps as blinds, she popped an Arctic Ocean from her stack, but instead of betting, it was spun on her sharp fingertips.
Gao Mi sighed and faced the dealer Chi. Naked provocation and temptation, he has no choice. Rather than being ground to death little by little, it is better to really gamble on luck as it says, so that there may be a chance to turn the tables.
"Raise...... sdοΌ β
He pushed all the chips out of his hand with a resolute expression.
Wan Boqian followed.
"Uh-huh~ then it's my turn," the dealer flicked the Arctic Ocean soda bottle cap into the air, and then pushed all the bottle caps he had won before to the front, and the chips like a mountain were as stable as a mountain under its fierce push, and the Arctic Ocean bottle cap fell on the top of the chip mountain, making a pleasant crashing sound. "It's unnecessary, but it's a thrill, isn't it? showhandο½β
Looking at the mountain of chips that glowed brightly, Gao Mi's breathing became extremely heavy.
The combined value of these chips is close to 8 Arctic Ocean soda bottle caps...... Although this calculation sounds hilarious, if he wins, it will be enough for him and Wan Boqian to escape from this hellish place!
As for Chen Wenwen......
At this moment, Gao Mi, who has been filled with freedom and survival with all his thoughts, has no time to go to the flood of compassion.
"Ahh It's only the third round of bets, and everyone is showhanding? The dealer scratched the skull without any hair, as if in distress, and the golden knuckles reverberated crisply, but soon he laughed again, "How can you be a pure gambler if you don't do this?" Well, move on ~Fifth Community Card~"
Gao Mi couldn't help but turn over the corner of his hidden card.
Although he understands that it is basically best not to look at his hidden cards until the last minute due to psychological tactics and luck, in this life-or-death moment, he still chooses to believe that he has studied mathematics for many years.
One ace of spades, one ace of hearts.
It can't be said to be a good card or a bad card, so the key is to see how the public cards on the field are.
Ace of hearts, J of hearts, King of hearts, Ace of diamonds, Ace of clubs.
Very good! Gao Mi swung his fist hard, and as long as he wasn't blind, he could make the highest of the four cards: the ace of hearts, the ace of spades, the ace of diamonds, the ace of clubs, and the king of hearts.
Don't look at the four of a kind is not the biggest card on the no, in fact, if you calculate the probability, the probability of four out of four is about 1 in 4,000, put it in the real game can really be said to be small pitiful. If it's the highest card of a four, it's about 1 in 10,000.
In many previous games, the dealer's cards were not intimidatingly big, at most they were a level higher than all three of them, and they were only small cards in that rank.
Able to win!
Also turned over the face cards, Wan Boqian smiled at him - her face cards were 5 hearts and 5 spades. This meant that she was able to put together a relatively large deck of cards in the gourd, which was already a good time for her mathematical ability and not extraordinary luck.
Chen Wenwen's face cards are 2 of diamonds and 7 of clubs, and if you count the face cards, it is at most a relatively large card of a three.
"Hmm~ It seems that everyone is quite confident, so it's time to reveal the final hole cards? Who will come first? The dealer was still calm, but it was better to say that it had never been in a panic, and even if it was panicked, it was difficult to tell from its bloodless skeleton.
"I'll do it."
Wan Boqian settled down and opened his secret card. Combined with the face cards, it is a full house: the Ace of hearts, the Ace of diamonds, the Ace of clubs, and the 5 of hearts and the 5 of spades.
"Yes, girl, you've finally come out of the endless hell of pairs and singles." The dealer whistled to express his surprise, but with its physiology, it is difficult to imagine such a long whistle.
Chen Wenwen was still quiet, and she then unveiled her secret card, but it seemed that even she didn't care whether it was big or small.
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's my turn. β
Gao Mi took a deep breath, emaciated to the point that his cheekbones were like knives, and his pale hands trembled faintly because he was too excited, but in the end, he still completed the move of opening the hidden card.
"Whoa, whoa......"
The dealer's tone changed several times, looking at Gao Mi's hidden cards, and then at the public cards on the field, and even the staggered and twisting claws stopped.
Four of a kind: Ace of hearts, Ace of spades, Ace of diamonds, Ace of clubs, King of hearts.
"Then, this farcical game should be over......" Gao Mi stood up with his pale face full of exhaustion, but he couldn't hide his smug smile.
How many days of hard work, how many days of loneliness, the dark tunnel...... A qiΔ will be gone forever!
Wan Boqian also took his hand, with a happy smile on her face.
"I admire your courage, boy," the dealer, who had seemed to be shocked, burst out laughing, leaning back and forth so exaggerated that the worn wooden chair was about to fall apart.
"But don't give up hope until the last minute......"
As if chanting a spell, it gently twists up the cards with its sharp claws, carefully placing them on the table one by one.
10 of hearts.
"For Lady Luck always favors those who fear her...... It has always been so. β
Q of hearts.
Royal Flush.
Gao Mi's original smile completely froze on his face, and after shaking his body several times, he fell to the ground. Wan Boqian tried to comfort him, but even she herself was overwhelmed by the sudden shock.
A gambler's biggest dream is probably to make a royal flush in a high-stakes game.
The probability of such a hand appearing is said to be 1 in 6.4 million, and it is normal to play almost a lifetime without happening a few times - or even once. It's as hard to get this card as it is to find a drop of water in the ocean.
And when it happens, it's a huge win that sweeps the field. No one can stop you.
"No...... How could it be, this won't be ......"
Gao Mi picked the knuckles on the edge of the table and turned white because of excessive force, but this is the case, and the dealer used the so-called ethereal 'luck' to teach him a hard lesson as a top student in the mathematics department.
He also wants to say that the dealer is out of the thousands, but even so, what can he do? Not to mention that with the dealer's hand speed, he can't catch a thousand moments, the rules of the whole gambling game are made by others, if you don't want to play with him because of this, then he can be said to have killed the only hope of freedom.
The incandescent light was swaying, and Gao Mi was helpless.
In the end, the two lost figures could only support each other, and walked to the platform in the darkness again, waiting for the next train. Stacks of chips still reflect the alluring sheen of freedom and life at the table.
The girl in the white dress carefully rubbed the black stains on the skirt.
"So, aren't you leaving? Mix here, but you have to follow the rules. "The dealer swept up all the cards on the pitch and threw them into the air, like a rain of four suits." While I'm still happy, let's go. β
ββ¦β¦ No. β
Chen Wenwen bit her lower lip and stood up.
There was only resoluteness and fearlessness in those black and white clear eyes.
"I'm going to wait for him here."
ββ¦β¦β
The heavy rain of playing cards fell one after another, lying flat on the ground, as silent as the dealer at the moment.
"You...... There will be a price to pay for it. Breaking the rules, there is a price. β
The skeleton of the Weasel Empress finally stretched its true majesty at this moment, the neck bones of the nine heads fluttered in the air, the frozen golden eyes reflected a terrifying cold light, and the eight golden claws unfolded with its movements, placing them at its sides, as if a hunter was about to show off all its killing skills.
"Let's go. This is the final warning. β
Chen Wenwen took a step back slightly, but she didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, but instead bowed her body to make a standard alert posture, she lowered her eyes, so she couldn't see the madness and gore in her eyes.
Beneath her spine, a black freehand flower tattoo is becoming more and more intense, accompanied by complex physiological processes, countless black light virus filaments are activated in her body, intertwined with each of her muscle fibers and nerves, and strengthened her into a species beyond humans.
The flow of time became unusually slow under the multiplier increase of neural responses, and the originally solid concrete platform seemed to become an ice surface that would shatter if it was exerted, but there was always an unavoidable madness and bloodlust that had been crying out in the depths of her soul.
Is this power of sorrow what you have always carried?
Chen Wenwen silently asked a question in her heart, and at the same time charged forward without hesitation, facing the golden claws that seemed to be phantoms, and launched a fierce attack that was not afraid of death.
"Bang-"
A huge amount of smoke and dust filled the air, covering the field.
Her attack didn't work.
But the feeling of being blocked by some huge object doesn't look like the skeleton of the Weasel Empress? Chen Wenwen was puzzled, but as soon as the attack was resisted, she followed her battle instinct and stepped back.
And after the smoke vanished, in her incredulous gaze, a familiar but completely different white figure appeared.
