Chapter 113: Elder Jiang
The three hit it off, swapped chips, and happily walked to the nearest table.
Before they could speak, the people around the side who had not yet dispersed had begun to whisper.
"See? Someone would dare to sit at this table! ”
"New here, huh? I don't know where the fool came from, I haven't heard of Jiang Lao's name! ”
"It's boring, it's boring, let's disperse, it's a stupid hat who came to send money."
Jiang Lao? A look of doubt flashed in Key's eyes.
Before he met Jiang Nian, except for occasional boredom, writing code and casually invading a system to have fun, the rest of the time he had been in the world's major casinos, and he had been here a few times, but he really didn't like this dazzling color, so he stopped patronizing.
Because he has never lost money, even the most powerful man will be revealed in front of him, so he is nicknamed the saint of the gambling world; is also because he is not greedy for money and only earns enough for his own expenses to stop, so he did not become a wanted target of major casinos, but looked forward to his visit and popularity.
However, Key has never been seen in his true form, so his true identity remains a mystery.
After so many years of crisscrossing the casino, he knows a lot of underworld and white, but the famous names on the field can only be counted on two hands, and there are even fewer Asians, and Key is sure that he has not heard of the character of Jiang Lao.
Could it be that he is a powerful character who only appeared after he retired from the rivers and lakes? Key didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and instantly cheered up 120,000 points of spirit and prepared to face the battle.
The old man sitting at the other end of the long table, that is, the old Jiang in the mouths of everyone, was closing his eyes at the moment, as if he was ignoring everything around him. This calm and relaxed attitude and leisurely temperament seem to be incompatible with this drunken casino.
This kind of attitude and style is by no means a greedy gambler who has fallen into a pile of money, but more like a master of the world who lives alone.
When the onlookers' chatter gradually weakened, Jiang Lao finally spoke leisurely: "Young man, I only play here to compare the size." When people get old, they can't learn those new tricks. ”
It's still Chinese, Key can't help but be curious.
"In Chinese tradition, the elders are respected." Key got up and bowed his hand slightly towards Jiang Lao, and said unhurriedly: "Naturally, you have the final say on what you play." What's more, I also like to compare sizes, simple and effortless. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Lao's tightly closed eyes finally opened slowly, and there was no trace of turbidity in his eyes, but there was a kind of indifference in seeing through the world, and there was an occasional trace of interest in him, which seemed to be even more energetic.
The two suddenly had the same feeling in their hearts: interesting, they can finally meet their opponents.
"That's what I love." The corners of Jiang Lao's mouth suddenly hooked up a very shallow arc, and he waved his hand very elegantly: "Young man, respecting the old and loving the young is also a Chinese tradition, you first." ”
"In that case, you're welcome." Key said and held the sieve cup, and didn't even pick it up, only shook it lightly and then released it, and made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Lao, and said in a respectful tone: "You please." ”
Unexpectedly, his actions attracted more contempt and disdain from the audience, and even Jiang Ye, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but mutter: "That's good?" I don't look like I can play......"
"Don't talk." Ah Hua hurriedly made a silent movement, glared at him and whispered: "The simpler it is, the more you can't underestimate it." ”
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Anyone in the know knows that the size ratio is the simplest game with the simplest rules but the most complex game, and it is also the most exciting game to test the psychological quality. And the knowledge of shaking the dice is even more, and the person who shakes the dice like a clank and shakes the sieve cup is more likely to be a layman who knows nothing about gambling.
Sure enough, Jiang Lao's eyes looked at Key more meaningfully, the curvature of the corners of his lips became deeper and deeper, and he didn't move the sieve cup, but stared at him directly and asked, "I, Jiang, have always been resigned to fate, and everything is according to fate." Young man, I chose the kind, and the rules might as well be set by you. ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Key said nonchalantly, his eyes looking into the distance: "Then let's win with a small one." ”
"Huh." Jiang Lao laughed directly when he heard this, and put his beard on his right hand: "You are deliberately letting me." It's okay, the old decay will accept it. ”
After Jiang Lao finished speaking, he opened the cup without hesitation, and the points surprised everyone: four points and one or two points, this is already a very small point!
Unless Key can do five points, it will definitely lose.
"Old man, I haven't opened the cup yet, how do you know that you must win? Until the last minute, it's better not to make up your mind. ”
Key also opened the sieve cup as he spoke, and this time it directly made the people around him exclaim: How is it possible! It's really five points!
"Hell, Jiang Lao actually lost!"
"Pinch me, is this true? Jiang Lao has been here for two years, this is the first time to lose! ”
"Isn't it, the kamikaze, who was known as the No. 1 gambling king in country Y last time, is he willing to bow down after losing three games in a row?"
Jiang Lao's heart is not as calm and calm as it seems on the surface, and the horror in his heart is no less than that of the other guests present. How can it be? What he just shook out was obviously five sixes!
I have been learning gambling for some years, and I am familiar with these dice like my own children, and I know the result with a slight vibration. If it weren't for the fact that there was something wrong with his feelings, only the explanation that he did something in the moment of opening the cup would make sense. But if that's the case, this technique is so fast that I don't even notice it, and I really have some ability.
However, according to the rules of the casino, if you can't find out on the spot, you can only be willing to gamble and lose. So Jiang Lao just smiled indifferently: "Go on." ”
"Old man, the rules of this game are up to you." Key motioned to the waiter for a glass of lemonade, took a sip, and gently placed the cup next to the sieve.
Jiang Lao, who watched this ordinary action, was even more shocked: this kid actually saw his housekeeping skills in such a short period of time, and used a cup to disturb the vibration frequency! Immediately, his heart sank, and his voice was much lower: "Then the big number of points wins." ”
Jiang Lao didn't dare to be careless, he shook his mind calmly, felt the shaking of the dice in the sieve cup stop, and breathed a sigh of relief almost inaudibly: "It's okay." ”
"This time, I'm left to my fate." Key smiled meaningfully, but no one except Jiang Lao discovered the hidden meaning.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Lao couldn't sit still, didn't he plan to use Lao Qian to destroy his dice? Thinking of this, Jiang Lao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately decided to make a move first, quickly opened the sieve cup, and said as if he had inexplicably settled down: "It's ugly." ”
"Ginger, 30 points." The dealer stood up straight and broadcast meticulously, and the crowd exploded in an instant.
Full point, see how he plays tricks this time? No matter how powerful it is, it can only be a draw. Jiang Lao couldn't help but feel a little proud, he was too young and inexperienced.
Key took in everything, raised his head and drank the water in the cup before opening the sieve cup in front of him, and waved to Jiang Lao in a victorious manner: "I'm very sorry, this time I won again." ”
"Young man, I rolled five dice, if you win against me, unless you ......" Before he finished speaking, Jiang Lao glanced at Key's dice, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Hua, 32 o'clock." Before the dealer could speak, a new round of commotion broke out in the crowd.
"32 o'clock, how is that possible? He must be out of the woods! ”
"Look at it, one of the dice is up, which is allowed by the casino, but no one has been able to do it."
"I'm starting to feel a little sympathetic to Jiang Lao, but then again, this boy is so handsome!"
……
Yes, the Key rolls no more, no less, exactly 32 points. Each casino has different rules, and underground casinos in Canada are based on the number of points that can be seen from above, and this kind of dice standing up is allowed. So, the maximum number of points on a dice is not theoretically 6.
When a master makes a move, one or two moves can often determine the winner or loser. Even if there are thousands of unwillingness and reluctance in his heart, Jiang Lao has to admit that he lost, and he lost completely.
"I am willing to gamble and lose, today I am not as good as others. has such a ability at such a young age, and the future should not be underestimated. After a moment of frustration, Jiang Lao seemed to think of something, still smiling and speaking politely, without a trace of the loser's depression, still calm.
Key looked at the chips pushed by the other party and became modest: "The old man won the prize, I'm just lucky." ”
"Dare to ask young people about their names? Where did you learn from? ”
It is extremely taboo to ask about the name in the casino, but Jiang Lao is really curious. Besides, after two years here, I finally found a malleable talent, if I can take him under my command, I must be very happy with the love and talent of the elders, right?
"Don't dare, the junior has no name and no surname, you can call me silent. Why should people who gamble care about their names? As for where I learned from, you may not believe it, but I taught myself, just to eat and not starve to death. Key returned the salute and continued to behave in a pampered manner, ready in his heart.
Even Jiang Ye, who was the most sluggish, had already understood that there was a major clue, so he hurriedly concealed his excitement and pretended to touch the earrings inadvertently. There's an old saying, oh yes, it doesn't take much to get there.
Jiang Lao understood his caution, and did not continue to ask, but followed the temptation and persuaded bitterly: "If you don't want to say it clearly, I naturally won't force you to ask." It's just that young people are talented, and this skill is only for survival, I'm afraid it's a bit overkill. Why don't I show you the way? ”
"The old man might as well say it bluntly, the younger generation is not a person who doesn't know how to lift."
