Chapter 7 Fanning the Flames

Throwing a few bills at the bar, Pan Guan grabbed a bottle of tequila and a few glasses, and walked to the table of Texas Hold'em poker in full swing: "Do you mind if I join?" ”

Listening to Pan Guan's English with a clear London accent, a sturdy man in English desert camouflage suddenly raised his eyes to Pan Guan. After looking Pan Guan up and down several times, Fang slowly shook his head: "This is a colleague game, and unfamiliar faces are not accepted to join!" ”

Pulling over a chair to himself, Pan Guan sat down at the not spacious table with a big grin, and put the tequila in his hand on the table: "Come on...... I have one of the least unfamiliar faces in the world, and everybody loves it — look, you know him? ”

Looking at the few hundred-dollar bills that Pan Guan had spread out on the table and carefully smoothed, the sturdy man who was talking to Pan Guan couldn't help but sneer, pointed to the dozens of bills thrown on the table, and hummed: "You think this is a child's card game?" ”

Grabbing the tequila bottle and pouring himself a glass of wine, Pan Guan drank all the spirits in the glass, reached out and patted his trouser pocket, which was bulging because of the napkin: "Then let me see, how long can you send away a small child?" ”

After staring into Pan Guan's eyes for a long time, the sturdy man who was talking to Pan Guan slowly reached out and grabbed the stacked pokers: "Twenty dollars in the little blind, is it acceptable?" ”

Throwing a hundred-dollar bill on the table with a big grin, Pan Guan poured himself a glass of wine again: "If you agree, then I suggest that the stakes of this kid's card game be increased a little?" A hundred dollars in the small blind? ”

After exchanging glances with a few companions, the strong man who dealt the cards nodded slightly: "As you wish!" ”

After a few glances at the poker in the hand of the strong man, Pan Guan didn't wait for the cards to be dealt to him, and had already pushed all the banknotes in front of him to the center of the table: "I think luck is on my side!" ”

After a slight hesitation in his hand, the sturdy man who dealt the cards raised his eyes and looked at Pan Guan, who looked lazy: "Are you sure?" ”

Making a sure gesture towards the sturdy man who dealt the cards, Pan Guan drank the liquor in the cup again in one gulp: "It's just a child's card game, why take it seriously?" ”

Each looked at the poker in their hands, and then looked at the cards that had been displayed on the table, and among the five strong men gathered together, three of them threw away the poker in their hands without hesitation. And after a moment of hesitation, the other two also gave up the game with a little unwillingness.

As we all know, Texas Hold'em is actually a technical game that pays great attention to calculation and psychological interpretation. Hardly a player who roughly understands the gameplay of Texas Hold'em will bet wildly when he first sees three cards, unless his luck is already good enough to go against the sky, and Pan Guan's demeanor is really a bit of luck to burst?

Seeing that everyone gave up the poker in their hands, Pan Guan rubbed his hands excitedly, swept the banknotes on the table in front of him, and then grabbed the greasy poker again, and shuffled the cards indiscriminately.

Staring at Pan Guan's obviously somewhat rusty shuffling action, several sturdy men involved in the gambling game had a slightly relaxed expression on their faces. The sturdy man who was talking to Pan Guan was even more busy lighting a cigarette, squinting at Pan Guan, who was clumsily distributing the poker: "It seems that you don't play often?" ”

Throwing the last card on the table nonchalantly, Pan Guan grabbed his two poker cards and glanced at them: "I didn't have much time before, but after today...... I don't know what else I'll find here. That's why I'm desperate to find a phone session that will allow me to practice my phone! ”

He threw a bill on the table, and the sturdy man with a cigarette flashed in his eyes: "You want to stay here for a long time?" ”

Grabbing two bills, Pan Guan behaved like a drunkard in a state of decadence: "Who knows? Just three days ago, I was in my corner office near the Echo Opera, or listening to John Lennon's old records and drinking single malt whisky; Or watching Liverpool's home game, waiting for my secretary to help me reserve a VIP seat at Reims Nightclub, and then take a few spicy girls to spend the night. Can ...... now I'm in this African enclave that I can't even name...... Raise! ”

Seeing Pan Guan's more and more decadent appearance after drinking two glasses, the sturdy man with a cigarette quietly followed Pan Guan's bet: "You're from Liverpool? ”

Again a card was dealt to the table, and Pan Guan's frustrated expression was obvious: "It doesn't matter where it came from...... I'm going to have to stay here from today on, parroting like a mouthpiece - they haven't even rented an office for me here! Raise! ”

Glancing at the five cards on the table, two of the strong men involved in the gambling game gave up the poker in their hands, while the other three took out a thick stack of bills from their pockets and threw them on the table like hunters who had seen their prey: "Is there a maximum limit for our children's games?" ”

Glancing at a few sturdy men who had taken out a lot of banknotes, Pan Guanwei smiled and reached out to open his hole cards: "Of course there is no maximum limit!" Look...... I have three aces and a pair of queens, what ...... do you guys have"

Originally, he thought he was winning the book, but in a moment, he got a fiasco, and the faces of several strong men suddenly became gloomy. One of the sturdy men even lowered his right hand to the holster on his leg, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

But without waiting for the sturdy men to say something, Pan Guan had already pushed the stacks of banknotes on the table in front of the original owner, laughed and grabbed the tequila that was on the side: "Oh...... Come on, you're the first tough guys I've known since I got here! To celebrate my new arrival, tough guys, cheers! Long live Liverpool..... they finally won the title once! ”

Without saying a word, he poured tequila into the wine glasses in front of the sturdy men, Pan Guan shook the empty wine bottle, turned his head and shouted in the direction of the bar: "One more bottle!" ”

They exchanged glances with each other again, and several sturdy men gathered around the gaming table suddenly had relieved expressions on their faces......

At the Oasis base, some stranger shows up almost every week. Among them, there are many unlucky ghosts like Pan Guan, who were assigned by some big conglomerates or mysterious government departments.

Some lucky ones will have the opportunity to pack up and leave the Oasis base within a few months of renting an office. And those who are extremely unlucky will be forgotten like nails in the foot of the table, passing the time by drinking and gambling every day. Until one day after doing a terrible job, you either run away with a lot of urine or disappear from the Oasis base forever......

Normally, such unfortunate ghosts will have more or less control of some resources for allocation. As long as your brain is not so stupid, after getting the cooperation of the mercenaries at the Oasis base, even if you fill out a slip for the loss of materials due to the weather, you can get a lot of real money for yourself!

In other words, no matter which mercenary team hooks up with such an unlucky financier, they will make a lot of money in a short period of time!

Who doesn't love a high-return errand with almost zero risk and zero investment?

Exchanging treacherous glances with each other, several sturdy men added a little temptation to the conversation with Pan Guan. After drinking a few bottles of agave, the eyes of several sturdy men began to drift, and their voices became much louder, so loud that passers-by heard it.

Squinting his drunken eyes, Pan Guan poured a large cup of tequila again, and then chattered with a big tongue to several sturdy men who had already reported their homes: "Johnny...... Becker...... And also...... Oh, and dear Marion, can any of you tell me what time it is? ”

With some difficulty, he put his wrist in front of his eyes, and Johnny, who was the first to talk to Pan Guan, stared at his military watch for a long time before he smiled and said to Pan Guan, "Four o'clock in the afternoon." How...... Your secretary has booked a VIP seat for you at the Reims nightclub? I also made an appointment with a few girls who are so spicy that they can make you burn? ”

In the burst of laughter, Pan Guan tried to stretch his neck, and the whole person almost fell on the table: "Four o'clock? But I should have given it to my boss at half-past three, the honorable ...... Well, I can't name him, but I'll have to report back to him about my time here! Right now...... Guys, can anyone tell me where is the closest comm device to here? ”

Two or three satellite phones were handed to Pan Guan as soon as the voice fell.

Rudely reaching out to block the satellite phones handed to him, Pan Guan muttered and sat back in his chair: "No...... It can't be like this! That esteemed gentleman has not answered any phone calls since two years ago...... Guess why? ”

Pretending to giggle mysteriously, Pan Guan once again fell on the table: "Because his wife knows that he is stealing food, and the object of stealing food is his wife's sister, and his wife is preparing to fight a divorce lawsuit with him, at least take away more than half of his property!" So...... Wretched...... That honorable gentleman didn't dare to answer any phone calls, because all the calls were eavesdropped by his wife! I have to ...... I've got to find a computer......."

Picking up the military computer that was sitting beside him, Johnny's mouth spewed out the smell of alcohol that made people nauseous, and his voice was as loud as if he was roaring: "Use this!" Unless you'd rather stagger out three streets and head to that communication center full of people, waiting for an idle computer to be freed up to contact your boss? ”

After smirking and thanking Johnny, Pan Guanmao dragged Johnny's military computer on the desktop to him, stared at a pair of drunken eyes and pressed the boot button. Perhaps because he had drunk too much, Pan Guan tossed around on the computer for a while before opening a beer sales website that didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, and clicked randomly in the purchase column.

Peeking at the various options that Pan Guan was clicking on randomly, the sturdy man sitting next to Pan Guan silently remembered the pages Pan Guan browsed. Especially when Pan Guan entered some passwords such as bank accounts on the procurement page, he memorized them carefully and calmly, for fear of missing any of Pan Guan's actions.

After typing on the computer for a while, Pan Guan finally completed all the steps. With a giggle and pushing the computer at Johnny, Pan Guan shouted at Johnny with his tongue wide open, "Okay...... I'll have to find a place to sleep for a while. Where do I go to find you when I wake up? Maybe we'll be able to play the next kid's game? ”

Pointing earnestly towards the street outside the door, Johnny hurriedly replied, "Follow the street all the way to the end, there is a place to stay." There was hot water and air conditioning, and maybe some lukewarm and inferior beer. Of course...... It's not as good as the VIP seats in the Reims nightclub, but in this kind of place, it's already very good! ”

Putting the few bills he had won into his pocket, Pan Guan staggered to his feet, and said goodbye to Johnny and the others vaguely, while struggling to move his steps in the direction that Johnny pointed out. And behind Pan Guan, Johnny and the others couldn't wait to turn on the computer again and log in to the website that Pan Guan had just logged in......

After staggering forward for one or two hundred meters, Pan Guan stumbled into a fork in the road between container houses at the moment when he confirmed that no one was following him. Almost at the moment when Pan Guan just crashed into the fork in the road, Gu Weisu had already greeted him from the other end of the fork in the road: "How is it?" ”

Reaching out and touching his face, Pan Guan's face was no longer drunk: "No problem!" I logged into a Trojan site that I had made myself a few years ago when I was idle, and as soon as those guys logged in again, I could get all the built-in passwords on their computers, and then use the programs I wrote to take over super privileges and turn their computers into a broiler. Together with overlapping propagation and geometric accumulation......"

Sighing helplessly, Gu Weisu whispered to Pan Guan, who was dancing with his eyebrows: "Can you speak human words?" ”

Looking at Gu Weisu's serious appearance, Pan Guan suddenly lost the mood to show off: "That means that as long as they physically connect the computer with the communication center of the Oasis Base, I can control all the information in the communication center and control all the programs in the communication center!" Speaking of which...... Where did Ha Ye go? I had just spoken to those British mercenaries when I saw you and Ha Ye going out? Why did you go? ”

As soon as the words fell, a loud singing voice had already reached the ears of Pan Guan and Gu Weisu from not far away. Listening to the long and somewhat golden and iron singing, Pan Guan nodded quickly: "Needless to say, Ha Ye's ability to not get drunk in a thousand cups has also been used by you?" Who did you find to let Ha Ye play? ”

Gu Weisu: "A group of Finnish mercenaries! It is estimated that after half an hour of drinking, they should believe that Halbara has received a good job with good benefits! ”
