Chapter 39: Stud I

Fernando's test was simple and not too unexpected for Brunei. Under the supervision of several professionals, it was determined that he was not cheating by any means, and he himself entered into a gamble with Brunei. And in the end, according to him, "I can tell if you have the strength to win 70,000 chips here." ”。

To be honest, no matter how you look at it, the test method he is talking about has nothing to do with fairness. However, the onlookers took it for granted, and even Scarly, who was clearly very concerned about Brunei's situation, only frowned, and did not have any objection to Fernando's proposal.

[Psychological test: 56<60, success.] He said this completely casually, and he himself didn't care about the truth of this sentence, and you naturally couldn't judge whether what he said was consistent with the facts by observing his expression. 】

“...... Laugh at. Brunei sneered, "Sure enough." Saying that cheating is not cheating, they just don't want me to take away 70,000 standard units like this. If I hadn't been the eldest lady's attendant, I probably wouldn't have said anything about the test so politely, but just insisted that I was out of a thousand and threw me out. ”

[Oh, little Bruneith, look at what you said-]

[I'm afraid it's not just throwing it out, right?] In a place like this, it should be more ruthless to attack the old man. Maybe they'll cut off all ten of your fingers and turn you into a dark being that you can't reach. 】

"You'd better say something I don't understand. Didn't anyone tell you? Your jokes are inexplicable and cold. Brunei pursed his lips and mocked in his heart, then smiled at Fernando and said softly, "I understand, Mr. Fernando." This is your place, you just need to tell me what I am going to do. ”

Fernando gave Brunei a deep look, and after a few seconds, he reappeared with his special smile and said, "Friend, it is best for you to cooperate like this." So, if you don't mind, first of all, how about you please take off the mask?"

Brunei nodded, carefully removed the red mask from his face, and folded it into beautiful squares very seriously.

The eyes of those around him were focused on Brunei's right cheek, a conspicuous scar on his face to be exact. The wound that had healed, because it had not been treated with timely and sufficiently advanced magic, was now a pale pink, protruding slightly from the skin, magically blending with the lips and extending to the earlobes. It looks as if only the right half of the face is grinning loudly, and for some reason, it creates a chilling sense of danger.

Fernando's eyes only stayed on his face for a few seconds, and then carefully observed Brunei's action of folding the mask, until Bruneith put the mask aside, then looked at Brunei again, and smiled: "Friend, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this to be the case, it was my negligence." ”

This time there was no need for any more psychology in the system, and Brunei heard that Fernando's words were purely for the sake of observing some kind of etiquette. He smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's me who said I was willing to cooperate with all your requests." Please go ahead. ”

Fernando's eyebrows raised, and the look in his eyes at Brunei changed subtly: "Very good." So, then, maybe you already know, maybe you don't, as a bookmaker, it is necessary for me to explain to you the rules of the bet that we are going to play later. First of all, it's important to note that the dealer is our own 'gold' person, and the person standing behind you - the person who proves your innocence should also see your cards at the same time as you. ”

As she said this, the crowd of onlookers finally began to stir up a little, and Scarly saw everyone's reaction and took a step between the two of them. Brunei saw and heard all this, but he just smiled lightly, nodded and said, "In order to prove that no one cheats in a thousand ways, this is a matter of course, I can understand." ”

When Brunei said this, the people around him became a little louder. Fernando gave Brunei a deep look again, as if to dig something out of the depths of his eyes, and then continued to laugh, "That's naturally the best." Well, hear me out. On top of that, in order to make sure you don't use some special magic tricks, we at 'Gold' will also bring in someone who is particularly sensitive to magic fluctuations, and I hope you will understand this as well. ”

“...... [Hey, hey, didn't I tell you all about it before? Now, we're all one. 】

Brunei nodded silently.

"Good. Then, the content of the bet we are going to play is 'Stud'. That's right, that's the word you say when you bet all your chips at once in Texas Hold'em. So, you should understand the size of the hand, the biggest is a straight flush, then a four-of-a-kind, a full house, a flush, a straight, a three-of-a-kind, a two-pair, a pair, and an overcard. ”

"......" Although Brunei has actually gambled for several hours, he is actually still very unfamiliar with the name of the card type, after all, he only needs to judge whether the card in his hand is "relatively large", and then judge others through the system "whether they have confidence in their own cards", so now hearing Fernando open his mouth to come out of such a string of nouns, he is really a little dizzy. But he didn't dare to show his timidity, so he smiled and continued to nod.

"Next, it differs from Texas Hold'em in that it doesn't have cards in the pool. The dealer will deal a total of five cards to each player, the first of which will be face down, and the next four will be revealed. Finally, when comparing the size, the comparison is the card type in both hands. Fernando paused, "Friend, I say that, do you understand how this game works?"

Brunei nodded again, he already felt a little stiff in his neck: "Yes, basically understood." ”

"Someone who can multiply their chips hundreds of times in a few hours should have at least an understanding like yours. The smile on Fernando's face somehow became a little more distinct, "The first two cards are dealt, and after that, each card is the time to bet, this rule is similar to Texas Hold'em, and you will not have any trouble understanding it if you want to be a friend." ”

"Then, in a game like this, you still can't show the level in one game. So, let's play 10 games, each with an ante of 7,000 standard units and a minimum raise of 1,000 standard units. Fernando paused again, chuckled at Brunei, and blinked his right eye, "This, friend, you can understand, right?"

The meaning of Fernando's actions was obvious, and Brunei began to curse his mother in his stomach: "What 'can you understand', how about just saying 'do you dare not accept it'? And I lost so badly, even if he let me go, the onlookers wouldn't believe that I hadn't made a thousand before. In that case, they have a valid reason for me never to come. What a shame!"

[Hey, hey, hey. Little Brunei is a little bit of a high-intelligence now. So how are you going to deal with it?]

“...... What if the eldest lady also thinks I'm cheating...... With the personality of the eldest lady, there should be no problem with the salary of 500 units that I already have, but after that, the eldest lady probably will not be willing to act with me anymore. Brunei said silently in his heart, and he didn't know whether to talk to himself, or to explain to the system again, "It's a trivial matter to not be able to get the possible extra money." If something happens to the eldest lady...... Ford's old thing......"

The look in front of him that Ford was not fierce when he left, but it made him feel cold behind him, and he couldn't help but shudder again, took a deep breath, looked as if he had been thinking for a long time before finally making a decision, and nodded to Fernando laboriously: "Of course, Mr. Fernando." As I said, I am willing to accept all your requests. ”

[Hehe, little Brunei, you thought about it for a long time, and finally found that although this is a bad result, in order to avoid a worse situation, you can only choose this way, don't you?

“...... What are you talking about, my system?" the corners of Brunei's mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Fernando looked at Brunei with satisfaction and nodded, "Very good." Such a confident quality is also necessary for talents who can win 70,000 standard units. Mr. Mage, who we've asked for to monitor spell cheats, hasn't arrived yet, so if you have any requests, feel free to bring them up and we'll have time to discuss them together. ”

"I don't have any special requirements. Brunei finally smiled calmly, "I believe that as a casino, you will not allow cheating by any party." So, there's no need to make a special request for me, right?"

Fernando's right eyebrow twitched slightly, and then he continued to smile and say, "One thing I want to explain is that 'gold coins' are not particularly closely related to me personally. It's just an estate belonging to the Fernando family, and I happen to be nearby, so I occasionally step in to take care of something. But, of course, neither of us will cheat. ”

“...... This guy only said both of us. Is it a play on words?" Brunei subconsciously wanted to pout, but finally held back, and just chuckled, "What about lying generously? However, he didn't tell me loudly that he was going to make a thousand, and that's enough. ”

"System. In this world, there is no such thing as an option with only two bad outcomes. The best of both worlds, always, exists!" So, prove it to me. 】

Brunei smiled and nodded to Fernando: "I want to come too, then, I don't-"

"Wait a minute. Brunei's words were suddenly interrupted by a female voice that was a little too sharp because of her age, and Scarry pressed Brunei's shoulder, walked to the front of his side, and said to Fernando, "Thrace, my temporary guard is from the countryside of the Empire. He takes your word for it so easily, but I won't. ”

"70,000 standard units is not a small number. Scarly clasped her hands in front of her chest and raised her head slightly, and suddenly there was an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura on her body, "As a guarantee that you won't cheat, I'm also going to be in charge of monitoring you." Thrace, you, will not have an opinion. ”

Fernando's eyebrows jumped, and after three seconds of silence, he nodded, "Of course." ”

Brunei looked at Scari in a little surprise, and Scari didn't turn back until Fernando replied, staring at Brunei, her cheeks flushed slightly, but her head was raised higher, and she said more and more arrogantly: "Ask you again, you really didn't cheat by any means, did you?"

Brunei looked Scully into the eyes steadily, until she tilted her head to the side with a flushed face, and then smiled and said, "Is there a rule of temporary guards that you can't lie to your master?"

"Nope. Scarly recalled, shook her head, and blushed, "I command you to be honest with me. ”

Brunei smiled calmly and nodded: "Yes, Miss, I assure you." ”

[Hehe, little Brunei, now you can lie so naturally. 】

Scully shook her fist hard: "Then prove it to them! Don't embarrass me!"

"Yes, Miss. Brunei bowed slightly to Scarly, "It's my honor to serve you. ”
