Chapter Twenty-Eight, Bet!

In the afternoon of the next day, a Soyuz Seabird transport plane arrived on the island. Li De and the others were replaced back to the main base of the Hunter Continent. Along with him was a pile of harvested gold and Aboriginal weapons.

When Li De was on the plane, he was still calculating how much gold he could get and how many alliance coins he could exchange.

After a long flight, the transport plane arrived at the base. Dikar was admitted to the hospital of the military department, and Liona accompanied him.

The injury of the "smart man" should be more severe, and the injured leg is estimated to be unable to be saved. Li Fei's face was full of iron after hearing the news, and he gave him half of the gold obtained from the mission.

Li De received Karin's email, her family's affairs have been dealt with, and she should be able to return to Selion in a month. Li De is still in a state of no leadership.

However, Li De is not idle, the cultivation of the Force and the soul needs to be carried out at the same time, and the matter of making money must be considered. Everything gave Li De a headache.

On the third day after returning to the base, Descartes sent an email. The rewards and dividends for this mission (the benefits obtained in the mission in the army are called dividends) are a total of 1203475 alliance coins.

Li De smiled happily, he is also a millionaire! Then he continued to look down at the email, and he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Descartes said that Li De's armor was not given to him, and he needed to deduct another 1.2 million yuan from the purchase cost, so Li De only had a few thousand yuan in his account.

Li De was so angry that he almost dropped the computer. Become a millionaire one second and back in a second. This life changes so fast!

"Slam the door! Stingy! Penny pincher! Li De couldn't stop scolding. Lao Tzu tried his best to accompany you on the adventure, so he got more than 3,000 yuan? ”

After scolding, I couldn't help but think of Karin again. She never asked for anything from Li De. However, Lide knew that Karin wanted his trust, while Descartes wanted to owe each other.

"Boy, being idle is also idle, why don't we make the first pot of gold first!" Gothic's voice came to mind in Lid's head.

"Oh? How do you make money? Do you have a way? ”

"Bet!" Goth only said one word.

In the army, the soldiers who were paid had nowhere to spend their money, and the precarious life made it impossible for them to keep savings. Most of the soldiers spend money at the poker table.

The barracks have their own underground casinos and tables, and sometimes a small game of gambling can be started in the barracks, or a ball game, a duel, can be the object of gambling.

The most familiar person in the base with these things is undoubtedly the white-haired bartender.

At the back of the bar, there is a row of small hidden rooms. Because gambling is forbidden by the military department, there are large and permanent gambling games that take place in the rooms behind the bar.

General Douglas also turned a blind eye, and there are rumors that General Douglas is actually the boss behind these gambles.

In the evening, Li De walked into the bar as usual, and when the bartender saw this acquaintance who he hadn't seen for a long time, he naturally greeted him warmly.

Li De drank a glass of ale, and saw that none of the soldiers and miners around him paid attention to him, so he whispered to the bartender that he wanted to play cards, hoping to have a good relationship with the other soldiers.

The bartender nodded, and exchanged his eyes with a waiter, who came to Li De's side and motioned for Li De to go together.

Walking out the back door of the bar, Li De was led to the door of a small room. Pushing open the room, I saw five people playing cards inside. When the five people saw the door open, they all turned their heads to look at Li De.

"Hah! You're the miner, the one who drives the SCV to fight the bugs! "A man recognized Li De.

"Haha! It turned out to be a celebrity! Come on, come on, sit here! Another man with single-rimmed glasses said that it looked like he was supposed to be a civilian military officer.

Li De quickly got acquainted with the people in the room, these five people were not very high in rank, and they were tepid in play, and after about an hour or so, Li De began to use the methods taught to him by the Goths.

The most basic of the soul arts has a skill called soul reading. This skill can observe the state of the opponent's soul, and as the skill level increases, it can also read the information in the opponent's mind, but if you do so, it will cause some damage to the opponent.

Li De, a junior soul warlock, could only see a simple change in his opponent's emotions now, but it was enough for him to judge the entire game.

Li De: They play the most common game in the army. Each person is dealt five cards, two hole cards and three face cards. For each card dealt, the people at the table take turns betting that the winner at the end gets all the bets. This method of playing is said to have been handed down from the time of the earth.

Li De now observed the other people at the table, and he could see that some people were excited after taking the cards, but they had a worried expression on their faces; But that sad face was fleeting, but it was deliberately discovered, and it was very well concealed.

By using the cards on the guò deck, Li De can roughly judge the strength of other players and choose the appropriate strategy. The minimum raise is five dollars, and for five rounds of raises, a person must also invest at least 25 dollars. If you're lucky, with a handful of cards, Li De can win hundreds of dollars.

Of course, Li De doesn't always win money, and when he miscalculates, he will give up some to make himself look like he is breaking even.

Goth fell in love with the game at once, and in Li De's mind, he helped him to give advice and evaluate the strength of his opponents at the poker table.

"Look, he's obviously not confident when he touches the bottom card, and you don't have to use your soul to read it to know he's definitely a bad hand. You also have to pretend to be holding on, so that he can see the hope of fighting with you! ”

Goth pointed at Li De, and Li De really didn't have any experience in playing cards, and now let this soul who has lived for an unknown amount of time to be his military advisor, Li De himself is also learning.

"This game is life, and there isn't much you can control. Even the cards in your hand are dealt to you by someone else, but you have a way to reverse it in this game because no one else has control over their hand. When your own hole cards are exposed and seen through, all that awaits you is failure! ”

Goth summed up the philosophy of life from the card game, and Li De listened to it in his ears and was shocked in his heart. He didn't know that Goth taught him not only to play cards, but also to teach him life experience.

"A couple!" Li De smiled and spread out his hole cards. Once again, he made the others back down, and he won all the bets at the table. Do the math, I've won thousands of dollars today.

"Okay, I'm tired, I guess we'll stop here!" After Li De finished speaking, he drank all the ale in his cup and prepared to leave.

"You're in luck!" A non-commissioned officer who had lost all night said that he had joined after Li De.

"Huh! I think so too. Li De ignored the man and walked directly out the door.

"Will you come back tomorrow night?" At the door of the bar, the white-haired bartender asked him.

"Well, I feel like I like playing cards!" Li De threw a smile.

The next night, he went back to the alley behind the bar, and tonight he met an acquaintance, Kliman, the mine overseer.

Now Kliman is in charge of the management of the entire miner team, and he can be regarded as a relatively powerful figure in the base. And seeing the previous miner Li De, Kliman was also very emotional.

"I think you were the best person I saw in SCV. There's no one better at playing those big guys than you. Kliman patted Lide on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Huh! Sir, are you here to play cards too? Li De asked.

"Yes, after a day's work, I come to relax at night. I wouldn't go to those female soldiers at my age! Hahaha! Kliman joked loudly.

There are indeed some female soldiers in the barracks who will use their bodies to earn money for male soldiers.

"In that case, why don't we go together? You know, I had a lot of luck yesterday, sir. ”

"Here, there is no distinction between ranks! There is no size at the poker table, even if the commander of the Alliance Army comes, when it is time to win him, I will still win! Hahaha! ”

It was the first time Li De had seen Kliman look like this, and it seemed that this old guy was also a gambler.

The following night, Li De did learn a lot of skills from Kliman. It was precisely in order to repay Kliman's care that Li De did not win Kliman's money tonight, and he made a lot less money.

In this way, after more than a week, Li De's own savings have reached 80,000 yuan. That's an average of thousands of dollars a day.

After winning money for a long time, Goth also reminded Li De that he should put his hands away for two days, otherwise it would not be a good thing to have a personal feud in the barracks. But the Gothic reminder also seems to be a little late.

During the day, when Li De was having lunch in the cafeteria, a red-eyed non-commissioned officer saw Li De last night.

The non-commissioned officer ran up directly, grabbed Li De's collar, and said loudly: "Okay, you miner, I'm going to duel with you today, you TM will go to the ring for me!" If there is a kind, don't run. ”

Li De looked at the non-commissioned officer, the other party was a lieutenant rank, his body was quite strong, and he should be a special soldier. I saw him staring at Li De with round eyes, and his eyes were full of anger. Li De looked at it, and his heart moved again.

"Okay, I'll duel with you, but not now. See you in the ring on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, if anyone doesn't go, they will be raised by a female cousin! Li De also released cruel words, and the audience exploded at once.

This duel immediately spread in the base, and the newcomer "Mine Soldier" Li De wanted to have a showdown of the century with Iron Fist Ali.

It is said that the cause was that Ali lost 500 league coins to Li De at the poker table last night. At this time, almost the entire base spread the news within an hour, and at the same time, the gambling market was opened.

The white-haired bartender sat in a wheelchair, holding a large handful of small notes and stuffing them into an iron bucket beside him. These were all bets placed by the patrol team that passed by just now, and all 12 members of that team bought Iron Fist Ali.

Now Ali's odds are 0.3, while Li De's odds are as high as 3.1 times. But there are still very few people who come to buy Li De.

At this time, a little female soldier with chestnut hair and a ponytail walked in the distance. Looking at her pure, cold eyes, the bartender seemed to recognize her.

"50,000, Li De wins." The little female soldier said in the most concise language.
