Chapter 263 - Authority (8)
Chapter 263 - Authority (8)
The first thing Huang Xuan saw was not the list, but the slender hand, the fingertips showed a slight pink due to the force, the whole hand was slightly bent at the moment, and the graceful arc gradually went up along the index finger, beating like a piano scale, and then suddenly retracted from the thumb, showing more and more the slenderness of the five fingers.
Seeing Huang Xuan's eyes, Chu Yining didn't react violently, but gently shook the list. The amplitude of the shaking is not large, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be as if it is blowing in the wind, but it makes Huang Xuan react with a spirit.
Lowering his head, Huang Xuan pretended to look at the list seriously, still thinking about the tempting softness in his mind, but Nick reminded: "We should ask for more foil Songshi." ”
"What's the use?"
"The extensibility of the foil stone is very important, for the same reason, it will be a lot of waste if the energy is directly produced by the foil stone, and people don't want to upgrade and have no energy to maintain it."
"How do you know it's for you?"
"Lorraine wants a lot of energy and less materials, so don't waste it." Nick squirmed.
Huang Xuan smiled, put the list up, and said to Chu Yining: "I said that I won't make a counteroffer......
"People cannot stand without faith!" Chu Yining hurriedly said it, and said with a smile: "Yining remembers." ”
Huang Xuan suddenly lost his mind again, but soon came to his senses, and silently recited the words in his mind: "If you have no desire, you are strong", but he no longer looked at Chu Yining. Whether he is considered a glorious or a traveler, he feels that his true strength is only slightly stronger than that of a normal level 18 traveler, and if someone holds a grudge because of his intimacy with Chu Yining, crazy fans are terrifying.
Chu Yining didn't know if he had seen through Huang Xuan's thoughts, so he let out a meaningful smile, and turned around and walked towards his seat, which was floating on the top floor of the entire hall, and the entire online competition process could be seen from the big screen in front of him.
Hou Junlong also sat quietly at a large long table, and he could directly use the dimensional base to join the game, without any special attire.
Huang Xuan declined Mr. Comas's support, walked to Hou Junlong's side and said, "What are Mr. Hou going to play today?" ”
"What's that guy under yours good at?" Hou Junlong didn't use the term monkey, probably because he didn't want to say that he was playing against a monkey.
Huang Xuan showed a smile and said, "What he is best at is Texas Hold'em, but this thing is easy to learn and difficult to master, we can play it differently." ”
"It's okay." Hou Junlong shook his hand and said: "It's okay to explain to me, anyway, the games we play are always different, if you use your words, I'm afraid that you will lose when the time comes......" He remembered Huang Xuan's resolutely broken arm, and didn't say anything like "don't admit it", but said: "Just think of me as a yard for your honor." ”
"Then you're welcome." Huang Xuan laughed twice, he was gambling on his life, where did he dare to be polite.
Chris Ferguson was also quickly ready, and Huang announced that the referee for the day was available to Manitoba, the dealer from the largest casino in the southern foothills, "Ten Thousand Millions", and then stepped back.
Hou Junlong suddenly tilted his head back and said, "Mr. Huang, can I take a look at your gun?" ”
"Of course." Huang Xuan "touched" Colt out from his waist and gave it to him.
Hou Junlong looked very carefully, and even after "groping" for a while, he managed to disassemble the gun on the table and look at it, and finally said, "Mr. Huang likes guns very much?" I saw that your servant of the murderer also brought a handful.
Huang Xuan said in an ordinary tone: "The one Dian Wei brought is Uzi Weichong, and the power is greater than this one. ”
Hou Junlong was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Can this gun really kill people?" "The person he's talking about is a traveler, of course.
"Low-level travelers may have some difficulty, but space-time warriors without energy protection are still easy to be killed by 'shooting'." When Huang Xuan spoke, he looked at the sky.
Hou Junlong's hand trembled.
Huang Xuan lowered his head and reloaded the gun, raised his eyebrows and said: "This gun is made of all-steel, a complete lathe, after mass production, I picked out the good quality, modified with the plane base, Mr. Hou If you like it, we can try to compare marksmanship next time." ”
With that, he nodded to the dealer and turned to leave.
The dealer took a full breath, and with the help of the traveler on the side, he said loudly: "Gentlemen and ladies from all of you, what you see today will be a showdown of the century, one side of the bet is Mr. Huang Xuan's level 18 advance base and level 19 advance base, and the other side of the bet is the level 16 comprehensive base materials funded by the Time and Space Administration, as well as 2 billion hot circles and 5 million energy ......."
Even though everyone had heard of this bet for a long time, it was confirmed by the dealer again, which still made everyone feel incredibly excited, and Manitoba was also full of red and said: "This is the largest gamble in the R plane's own records, now let's take a look at the representatives of the two sides involved in this competition." ”
"The representative of the Time and Space Administration is Mr. Hou Junlong, a Level 3 Traveler. As for Mr. Huang Xuan's representation, since Mr. Huang Xuan was injured late yesterday, it was carried out by another member of his family, Mr. Chris. Manitoba put on a coat for Chris, and then said, "In view of Mr. Huang Xuan's suggestion and Mr. Hou Junlong's consent, the tournament has decided to play in the style of Texas Hold'em......"
"It's a whole new way to play, so let me start with poker......"
Huang Xuan had already walked out of the hall by the time he said this, and the situation was actually out of control - and Huang Xuan didn't think he could control the situation, his only hope was that Chris Ferguson was not in vain.
Huang Xuan always believes that talent and genius are real, and there are four kinds of people: people who have no talent and do not work hard, people who work hard but do not have talent, people who are talented but do not work hard, and people who are talented and work hard.
The upper echelons of the pyramid belong to the hard-working, but the hard-working people are not just those who are not talented, so the cruel reality is that people who are not gifted can reach the middle of the pyramid, but they can never reach the top of the pyramid, because there are always geniuses who also work hard.
Chris Ferguson is clearly one of the hardest working and most talented people in Texas Hold'em.
Huang Xuan does not believe that there will be a real all-rounder, not in history, and there will be no in the future, and travelers are no exception.
Hou Junlong may be a powerful traveler, and may be the best poker player among travelers, but he certainly won't be the best poker player among all human beings. After all, whether it is the R plane, the P plane, or the 3rd plane, as far as the human collective is concerned, it is conserved.
Huang Xuan could only comfort himself with this, Chris Ferguson would definitely win, if Hou Junlong did not cheat.
Generally speaking, it is very difficult to cheat on the plane network, but just like you can cheat in the college entrance examination, cheating has no borders, time and race, and if Hou Junlong really cheats and cheats successfully, then there is no need to say anything.
The voice in the hall gradually became quieter, indicating that the card game had begun, and Huang Xuan was nervously walking in the garden of the Comas family, and his heart was beating faster and faster.
Inside, a fateful game of poker is played.
The sound of Sasha's blades of grass sounded, and Chu Yining's mellow voice was heard: "Why doesn't Mr. Huang want to go to the hall to watch the game?" ”
Huang Xuan didn't look back, but said as if at home: "Such a big bet, whether you win or lose, there will be trouble when you go home, why should I go to see it?" His words tasted like taking out two sports cars and making a bet.
The sound of whirlpools hitting stones was heard as the murmuring water passed by, and Huang Xuan closed his eyes, enjoying what might be the last of the silence. His state of mind at the moment is far beyond his age.
Chu Yining "revealed" a surprised look, she has always maintained a cautious suspicion of Huang Xuan, all along, she has been looking for Huang Xuan's loopholes - the Glory Family is not a big road commodity that can be encountered anywhere.
But the problem now is that the more you confirm, the more the "little man" in front of you looks like glory.
After a moment of silence, Chu Yining asked softly, "Mr. Huang, is it really glory?" ”
If it was someone else, if he was single-handedly slashed like this in an instant, his emotions would always fluctuate a little, but Huang Xuan had already thought about such a question before he came here, so he just glanced at Chu Yining, and then said, "No." ”
The so-called "not" here of course refers to the fact that it is not a glorious aristocracy recognized by the Time and Space Authority, and whether it is the glory that people usually think is another matter. What makes the Authority shrink is definitely not a glorious or glorious nobleman, but an entire glorious family.
Sun Tzu said: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. This sentence is also "Mao" Zedong's favorite sentence, up and down 5000 years, the evolution of people themselves is minimal, although there are advanced and backward thoughts, but there is absolutely no thinking, Chu Yining does not understand Huang Xuan's bottom line, even if she is smarter, it is difficult to break through the defense line that Huang Xuan has built a long time ago, in order to meet with the members of the Authority this time, Huang Xuan looked at all the official materials that he could see, and guessed countless possible situations - life and death, there can be no falsehood, If he spends one-tenth of his energy on studying, he won't always worry about being named by the principal.
Chu Yining also admired Huang Xuan's calm skills, smiled, took two steps forward, stood beside Huang Xuan, and also looked at the stream not far away, and said, "Mr. Huang, who do you think will win this game?" ”
"If it's just a guess, of course I'll choose myself."
"So who do you think everyone will choose to win?" Chu Yining firmly pressed Huang Xuan with words.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or premeditated, the dealer in the hall began to use the audio that the players could not hear: "Now the second is over, Mr. Hou Junlong still has 480 chips, and Mr. Chris has 520 weights, the temptation of the two sides is about to end, Mr. Hou Junlong is also familiar with the way Texas Hold'em plays, and now the "10,000 millionaires" began to accept peripheral bets, Mr. Hou Junlong and Mr. Chris are betting against each other for the first time, so **** is 1 to 1, and the casino takes 10% of the head. ”
Huang Xuan said dumbly: "It seems that the casino thinks that the winning rate of the two people is equal." ”
"Then who do you think will be more likely to be bought?" Chu Yining's beautiful eyes were full of anticipation, and the smile on his face did not decrease.
Huang Xuan had to admit that Hou Junlong would indeed be recognized by more people, even if the gentlemen of the R plane would really hope that they would win, but if they used money to place bets, most of them would still be on Hou Junlong, after all, they were members of the prestigious Authority, and Huang Xuan, except for the mystery and the arm that lost its owner, did not leave a too deep impression.
What's more, it wasn't Huang Xuan who was competing.
The dealer constantly reported the chips of both sides at a frequency that the players could not hear, and explained some rules about Texas Hold'em by the way, and the place where the two were standing was not far from the hall, and the sound inside could be heard very clearly.
"Mr. Hou Junlong's chips are 540, and now it is the 6th game, Mr. Hou's chips are more than Chris's for the first time, it seems that he is familiar with this kind of play, will the victory continue?"
"Mr. Hou Junlong's chips are 610, and the victory continues."
"Mr. Hou Junlong has deducted the card, there are 210 chips in the pot, is Chris stealing chickens? Mr. Hou gave up, and now Chris has 520 chips. Okay, guys, this '10,000 millionaires' will accept outside bets for the last time, one last time. ”
After listening for a while, Chu Yining said leisurely: "The game seems to be very stale. ”
"It's not going to go down." Huang Xuan took a deep breath and said: "When the blinds, that is, the bets that one or two people must place are gradually accumulated, this blind will always accumulate to an unbearable level, for example, when you have to drop all the chips at once, at that time, everyone can only rely on luck." ”
He explained, but hoped in his heart that it wouldn't happen, believing in his luck but not in handing it over to luck - he just wanted Chris to have a clear idea.
Chu Yining opened an energy screen with great interest and began to learn the basic rules of Texas Hold'em, Hou Junlong got the instructions, but she didn't look carefully.
It seems a bit strange.
But what made Huang Xuan strange was Chu Yining's energy screen, she obviously turned on the function of limited number of people to watch it out of politeness, but Huang Xuan noticed that her energy screen was a little different from her own, not a function, but a frame - whether it was Lorraine or Nick, the energy screen opened was borderless, but Chu Yining opened it with a light blue "color" flower "color" border.
Huang Xuan didn't hide his curiosity, and let Nick also open an energy screen for him to compare.
This action made Chu Yining can't help but put away the energy screen, and after a moment, he said suddenly: "Yining prefers blue 'color'. ”
The glory of the fake card was dumb, he had already seen it, Chu Yining had added a desktop to his energy screen, a desktop with light blue "color" waves, the ghost made the god worse, Huang Xuan found thousands of desktops from Nick's database, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to add a border to the energy screen, but I have a lot of them, maybe you will like it." ”
As he spoke, he opened several rows of energy screens in the air, allowing Nick to put out various tabletops, and said, "There are people in my family who like these things, those trainees, just like Chris." Huang Xuan pouted into the room and said with a smile: "They are always very innovative. ”
If it is Hou Junlong, he will definitely scoff at the innovation of the "aborigines", just like the 200 years of British colonial rule, and also unwilling to believe that the colonists and the white people are equal, the travelers in the plane era are extremely arrogant people.
Chu Yining also has arrogant capital, but out of politeness, she still took a serious look at the desktop released by Huang Xuan.
Nick listed about 20 energy screens, the weeds on the ground were clearly illuminated, every time Chu Yining looked at an energy screen, he would replace it with a new one, Huang Xuan soon found that the one in front of him, who may be said to be the power star of the plane era, seemed to have a soft spot for light "color" and simple patterns.
It's just so easy to do.
The fashion world of the 20th century had a myriad of simple styles, perhaps most notably the most famous designer. Yves Saint Laurent, although the French master is old, his legacy is extremely simple to convert Nick into a desktop frame.
Soon, Chu Yining couldn't help but stop in front of the two energy screens.
Huang Xuan didn't let her inner struggle last long, and said generously: "If you like it, I'll give you these two tabletops, right?" ”
"Desktop." Chu Yining's Chinese is quite fluent, she read it again, a moving smile appeared on her face, but she excused herself: "Such a perfect design, I'm afraid it costs a lot of money......"
Huang Xuan was a little stunned, he didn't expect that the plane boss who spent a lot of money would also talk about money, and couldn't help laughing: "If I give it to you, I will give it to you, what else is there to shirk." ”
Before he could say anything more, the hall erupted in an awe-inspiring shout.
