Prologue: Sudden appearance

Macau.

Babylon Casino.

The atmosphere in the casino tonight seemed to be a little unusual, the staff showed nervous but excited expressions one by one, and whispering voices circulated in every corner. The content is similar and can be summed up in one sentence:

"There's a master to sweep the scene!!"

As one of the largest casinos in Macau, Babylon Casino has a wealth of experience in this kind of thing. Every year, many people with self-possessed gambling skills come here to kick the gym, in vain to get rich overnight, and since then the family has a lot of money.

Privately, the casino admits that there are indeed some masters who have swept up huge sums of money here and then run away, but that is only a rare case, and most of the time, those gamblers are defeated by the casino's group of masters.

It doesn't seem to be the latter case tonight.

In the VIP room, sitting in the dealer's seat was Chen Changqing, the casino's senior technical consultant — at least that's what the work badge on the front of his black suit says.

Chen Changqing, 37, worked for Babylon Casino for four years and defeated a total of 26 challengers. Four years ago, he sat at the same table and beat the top executives of three casinos, and then he joined Babylon.

Professional gamblers are a profession that sounds very romantic, but the reality is not as pleasant as it seems. Admittedly, there are very few casinos that will go out of the ordinary to find someone to retaliate. But many times, their identities are blacklisted and banned from most casinos in the world.

Therefore, many professional gamblers are recruited by the casino to contribute their skills to their former opponents as technical consultants and continue their gambling life. Chen Changqing had also heard that the general manager of Babylon had previously been a legendary gambling king who swept 39 casinos around the world.

Today, however, history seems to repeat itself, but he is no longer the victor. More than three hours had passed since the moment he walked through the door, and his chips were getting dwindling, and the young man sitting across from him was calmly holding a glass of red wine and staring into his eyes.

As a trained gambler, Chen Changqing did not have a drop of sweat on his forehead, but his palms had begun to damp, and the time of muttering was getting longer and longer. He found that his body movements were showing weakness to the other party, perhaps the other party had begun to be careless because of his weakness...... Maybe in this case, I still have a chance to turn around.

He could only pray like this, because on the field, he was already in a state of collapse.

"It seems that you are not very lucky, do you want to shuffle the cards again?" The person sitting across the table asked gently. The two people next to him also let out a good-natured chuckle.

Generally speaking, there are eight decks of cards used to play blackjack in casinos, with 416 cards. In order to reduce the possibility of gamblers counting cards, the eight decks of cards will be reshuffled when they are dealt to a third of the time. And now the cards on the field have only been used five times, fifty-five.

At this moment, there were a total of four players sitting on the field, in addition to the young man with god-like luck and his middle-aged companion, there was also a rich middle-aged man, who was a wealthy businessman from Shanghai; and a regular customer of the casino, a noble lady that Chen Changqing also knows. And now, the wealthy merchant and lady of Shanghai have almost given up the gamble, and only pressed 10,000 yuan politely at a time, and everyone is focused on the mysterious young man.

And in the five games in this round, the young man pressed 200,000 each time. Won four times. Lost once. A total of 600,000.

Seriously speaking, for Chen Changqing, who has been through the storm for a long time and has participated in a big game of hundreds of millions of gambling gold, 600,000 is not a big amount. But the point is that the person on the other side has been betting with him for three hours, and he is losing almost all the time.

Chen Changqing had been paying attention to this young man for two days. In the past few days, a monitoring system dedicated to tracking and counting the direction of chips has shown that the young man has a problem with his win rate. Chen Changqing searched the historical records and found that this young man had come twice, and then won 3.6 million on the first night and 5.2 million on the second night.

Based on years of experience, he can be 100% sure that there is definitely something wrong with this young man.

In the register, the young man's name is:

Su Jing.

The awakened Sue, the thorny thorn.

After working in Babylon for four years, Chen Changqing has also seen his colleagues defeated by masters. When watching the surveillance video of the scene, he looked at the nervous appearance of those colleagues with some schadenfreude, but he did not expect that one day he would lose more badly and defeat than those seniors.

"I want a fruit candy, apple-flavored. Xie Lu Xie. Bring this friend another whiskey on the rocks. The young gambler sitting across from him snapped his fingers and greeted the waiter.

According to the surveillance records of the casino in the past few days, every night, the young man opposite always comes with the middle-aged man, and almost always the young man gambles, and the big man sits next to watch, or places some small bets.

As the town role of the casino, Chen Changqing has specially trained in the art of matchmaking. Judging by his actions, this big man should be a retired soldier, or a role like a special forces. At first, he guessed that the man was the young man's subordinate or bodyguard, but judging by their body language and some subtle movements, it seemed that the two were not subordinate, but more like equal collaborators.

But these two are by no means a thousand partners. Chen Changqing rubbed his eyebrows, judging from the posture of holding the cards and some subtle movements, these two people were not skilled gamblers, but rather completely laymen. Whether it is a close observation by yourself, or a slow recording frame by frame from the surveillance, you can't find any signs of a thousand. However, if it weren't cheating, they would have a miraculously high odds of winning...... Completely unexplainable.

"Come on, let's make another bet."

The gambler looked at his watch, then straightened up and said.

Chen Changqing narrowed his eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall, eleven o'clock.

On average, he looks at the time every five minutes...... What was he waiting for?

"How much do you want to press?"

"Ten million."

The gambler moved his thin wrist bone.

Half a minute later, Chen Changqing looked at the cards in front of him with a grim face. Nine, five, eight.

It's a big deal.

At this time, the door of the VIP room was opened, and a waiter walked in and handed the young man opposite him an apple hard candy, and the young man took the glass of whiskey on the tray. The man tossed the sugar into his mouth and took a sip of the turquoise liquor in his glass. I also use my tongue to turn the sugar to click.

"Tsk, what a strong wine, Lao Xu, I'll give it to you."

"What's wrong with you...... I'm going to grab ...... even my wine," the big man grumbled as he took the glass, took a sip and put it down, continuing to stare intently at the cards on the table.

Chen Changqing raised his eyebrows and began to re-examine the young gambler sitting in front of him.

The young gambler looked about twenty years old, with long hair over his shoulders, a handsome face, and a smile, but there seemed to be a hint of evil in his eyebrows. He was wearing a slim-fitting casual suit in plain black, and now he wore his coat on the back of the chair, revealing a white pinstriped shirt and short tie inside, and rolled up his sleeves by two notches, looking intently at the cards in his hand.

As if sensing Chen Changqing's gaze, the man raised his head and showed a kind smile.

"In this game, I bet on ...... Twenty million. ”

Chen Changqing lowered his eyes.

Deal.

The young man surnamed Su had a five of hearts and a seven of hearts in front of him.

Chen Changqing glanced at the ten points that he turned over in front of him, and gently picked up the covered card with his fingernails, which was also a ten point, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Ask for cards."

The youth taps the table with his knuckles.

Block three.

"Go on."

Plum two.

"Go on."

Two of spades.

"Go on."

Ace of hearts.

Chen Changqing's face turned pale, and he didn't explode with six cards in a row, what kind of small probability event is this! Where the hell did he get his confidence! It's already twenty o'clock! The next card is basically going to explode, how can he continue to ask for cards? If you just stop there, then the dealer himself wins......

"Go on."

The young man seemed unconcerned and continued to knock on the table.

“…… Are you sure? ”

"I repeat. Go on. Give me. Deal. ”

The next card was delivered to the young man, and then it was turned over.

Ten years later, Chen Changqing still remembers this scene and the turmoil that happened half an hour after the end of the game. But once when he used this incident as a talking point at the wine table, he said that what impressed him the most that night was not the ending of the incident, but the moment when the young man named Su Jing turned over the cards.

"His eyes weren't looking at the cards, he seemed to be staring at me all the time. No, no, I don't think he was looking at me, but at something across from him, something past me, something very vast and deep. To be honest, I forgot to see what his cards were, and I just stared into his eyes there. I seem to have a gut feeling that the probability of him winning is so small, but I subconsciously feel that I have already lost, before the cards are opened...... I've been betting for so many years and this feeling is the only time. ”

"I won."

The man named Su Jing did not have a hint of joy in his tone of winning 20 million yuan, but was simply stating a fact.

Ace of spades.

Blackjack in total.
