Chapter 44, The Legend of the God of Gamblers

The next day, there were still 10 tables left in the gymnasium's infield. Li De sat at table 4, holding cards in his hand, carefully observing his opponents at the same table.

Among the five people at this table, one is a seeded player named Suya, who is circulating on the Internet.

This guy named Suya has never liked to play cards, but has always had a poker face, which makes it impossible to guess what he thinks in his heart.

But through guò soul reading, Li De can know that when Su Ya saw the hole cards at this time, he was still excited. It looks like he has a good hand.

Li De looked at the cards in his hand, pouted, and threw the cards on the table, indicating that he would not raise again. And Suya's hole card is a pair of aces, plus his hand, it is easy to pocket the chips on the table.

In this way, practicing this soul technique every day, Li De's mastery of soul reading is becoming more and more proficient. He could feel even the slightest change in the emotions of everyone at the table. Feel the surprise or disappointment every time the cards are dealt and the cards are seen.

Through constant practice, Li De discovered the joy of soul magic. It is a feeling that can be higher than other beings, a pleasure that can control others. He had a feeling that he was no longer a puppet manipulated by fate.

Although he is at the poker table, he and Goth have been discussing the meaning and destiny of life. This has also made Li De's thinking change a lot recently.

"The most important thing in your life is to kill all the Puldos. Those hateful guys have ruined our civilization. Again, Goth stressed that he didn't know how many times he had said it.

"As you can see, those bugs, which can be said to be the representatives of the strongest race, have also spent a thousand years not exterminating the Purdos. They can't do it with tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of bugs, you think I can? ”

Reid had become accustomed to the Goths yelling every day to exterminate the Pullpeople. He also learned about the cruel rules of the universe and why humans would join the race in battle.

"You can't do it alone, but you humans can!" Goth said. "I'm optimistic about your human potential, as long as you can quietly teach some people my soul arts, plus your technology. By the way, your technology can be combined with the technology of our people, and it will definitely have a better effect! ”

Goth began to gush about his plan for the destruction of the Purdos. In the past two weeks, the Goths have come up with more than thirty ways to exterminate the Purdos. Li De felt that an old guy was a little paranoid.

Returning to the game, Li De looked at Su Ya opposite. Su Ya still had an unchanged face and expression, just looking at the cards in his hand.

“MD!” At the poker table, a fat man threw the cards in his hand on the table. He had lost all his chips tonight and was out early. Angrily walked away from the card table, and the fat man didn't forget to look back at Suya.

The fat man's move seemed quite normal, but the abnormal soul fluctuation made Li De suddenly alert.

When the fat man looked at Su Ya, Su Ya's soul showed a trace of joy, and the fat man did not have any frustrated soul fluctuations. Lide and Goth immediately understood that these two people were in a gang.

The so-called thousand tricks are nothing more than doing some tricks and feet on poker, or hiding a few cards in your sleeve when playing cards. Some people deliberately grind the Ace or King cards when they play to make one corner of the cards burr or simply wear some of the prints off the corners. That way, when the cards are dealt again, he knows where the cards have gone. With excellent eyesight, you know your opponent's hole cards.

And these practices are all fighting alone, and the chance of being discovered is also high, and the harvest is not necessarily good. However, if there are some arranged opponents or spectators to help, that's a different story.

It's better for two people to work together than one, and eye contact and some special codes won't go unnoticed.

watched the fat man move behind Li De little by little, showing a demeanor that cared about the game. Li De concluded that the fat man was the one who helped Su Ya. Including just now, most of his chips were also lost to Suya.

"Looks like you're being targeted." Goth said with a wicked grin. "Just in time to practice what was taught you yesterday."

"Yesterday's one? Well, being idle is being idle anyway. Li De thought to himself.

Yesterday Goth taught him a new skill, which is also a very simple and practical soul technique, called soul deception. It is to use one's own soul energy to interfere with others. Only if the soul energy of the other party is not higher than your own, then you can deceive the soul of others, that is, hallucinations.

In the next round, Suya got a good hole card, and when combined with the cards in his hand, he could have three queens, which was already bigger than all the cards on the surface.

The rest of the players chose to give up, but Li De followed in the end.

Su Ya was surprised, because Li De had been playing very carefully before, and there was no reason to follow him. His expression remained unchanged, just glancing at the fat man behind Li De.

This glance seemed to others to be Suya observing his opponent's expression in an attempt to guess his thoughts.

And Li De looked calm, and the two hole cards were still on the table. He took a puff of his cigarette and spat out a smoke ring, looking at ease. Casually picked up a corner of the hole card, and looked at it very carefully, as if he was setting himself a certain mind.

And this very careful glance was caught by the fat man who had been waiting for the opportunity behind him for a long time.

"Damn, the hole card is a pair of aces, then plus he has an ace, that's not three aces!" The fat man was shocked, and hurriedly glanced at Su Ya, and scratched his head with three fingers.

Su Ya was also surprised, according to the code that had been discussed before, this meant that Li De had three A's. I saw that kid's luck came, so let's let go of this game first.

Suya threw out his hole cards to indicate that he also gave up the game. Everyone saw that Su Ya, who had taken three Qs, gave up, and they were surprised what kind of card Li De was.

Su Ya thought that Li De showed three A's, and everyone would be amazed by his wise abandonment, Li De slowly put up his hole cards.

Everyone almost laughed out loud, Li De had two 4s in his hand, and Li De's biggest ace on the open card was an ace. Therefore, Li De relied on such a small pair to scare Su Ya away.

The audience shouted wonderful, and they also cast contemptuous glances at Su Ya.

Su Ya was stunned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he blamed the fat man for this mistake. It must be that he didn't see it clearly, so he confused the pointed 4 with the A, or it could be that Li De only showed a pointed head when he looked at the card. Suya comforted herself, and then forced the expression on her face to start the next game.

Li De saw the surprise and remorse of Su Ya and the fat man from the soul reading, and knew that they were all blaming the fat man for his eyesight problems, but he didn't expect that the fat man had fallen into his illusion and looked at the wrong card. Li De's heart is also dark.

In the next hour, Li De repeated his old tricks and won a few more sets against Su Ya, completely crushing his opponent's confidence and finally winning.

After the victory, Li De suddenly became the focus of the army. This guy who beat up Iron Fist Ali who had been lying in bed for a week a few days ago is now showing great strength in poker skills.

It seems that Ali doesn't complain if he loses 500 fast, the key is that people win money, and you don't dare to go to trouble. Many people have turned out the video of Li De's previous SCV vs. bugs, and the title of "the strongest miner" has now become "God of Gamblers miners".

There are 10 tables in the gymnasium. After one night, only 10 people made it to the next round.

On the third day, the number of tables was reduced to two. The number of spectators increased to thousands, and the air in the crowded stadium was a little muddy. After tonight's game, there will be only two left, and the final battle will be played on the fourth day.

However, as if it had been arranged, Li De's table did not have a strong opponent today. After a few hours of unscathed, Li Deshun qualified for the finals. And the winner of the other table was actually an old acquaintance, Kliman.

He couldn't say how clever Kliman's gambling skills were. But this guy who was not favored before actually met the miner in the finals. One is the previous boss, the other is the new kid, and this final seems to have quite a storyline.

After the third day of competition, Li De came to the bar. The bartender mysteriously cast a color to him, and Li De also followed a waiter to a small room at the back door of the bar.

Kliman was already waiting for him inside. Seeing Li De, Kliman was also very happy, he first greeted a few words, praised Li De's card skills and gambling skills, and then got to the point.

Now in the handicap outside, it is the majority who are optimistic about Li De. If Li De wins tomorrow, then the person who opened the market is estimated to lose several million.

Li De was not hypocritical, he knew that playing cards was only a small step in his plan, so he readily agreed to Kliman's plan.

On the fourth day, the final scene was hot again, and Li De appeared on the edge of the table first, calmly waiting for Kliman's arrival.

At 7 o'clock, the side door of the gymnasium opened, and a white light shot in.

I saw that Kliman was wearing a big trench coat and a long white scarf, all his hair was dyed black, his big back was combed behind his head, and the hairspray on his head reflected the light, making Kliman even more dazzling.

Kliman walked slowly, with an emerald ring on the little finger of his left hand. His right hand gently caressed the ring as if he were caressing his lover.

Even the notary who issued the cards did not react for a short time, and it was only after Kliman stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth that he smiled and said to Li De: "Young man, let's start!" ”

"It's really TM ready to load!" Li De thought to himself.

According to the plan, Li De slowly lost his chips. The victory of Kliman, who appeared in stunning fashion, has begun, and a new legend of God of Gamblers has begun.

Leaving the noisy stadium, I walked quietly with Leona, looking at the stars in the sky. Li De regained his composure. Count the time, Karin will be back tomorrow, and she will end her short career as a gambler.

However, the three million deposits in the bank card still made Li De very happy.
