Chapter 37: Gold Coins (5)
Brunei wanted to run back and pick up the pile he had just thrown down, he estimated that he could pick up about two or three hundred standard units of chips, but Scarly kept staring at him, considering that Fernando did not mention that it was for himself at that time, after weighing it for a long time, Brunei still decided that it would be better not to offend Scarly for the sake of a safe 600 standard units in the future.
Handed the chips to Scarly, who returned three or four, "Let's play together, follow me." β
"Huh?" Brunei's expression froze, "Miss, this-I didn't, well, 'played' gambling." β
"Neither do I. Scarly said brightly and confidently.
Looking at Scarly's expression, Brunei also relaxed a little: "That's goodβisn't it, what?"
"In the past, Uncle Ford had to take care of this and that, and William was afraid of him, so he didn't dare to come to this kind of place when he took me out of town. Scarly raised her hand as if to play with her hair, but snatched it and gave Brunei a vicious glance before continuing, "But that's okay. I've learned that most gambling is based on calculations. Aren't you proud of your ability to calculate? William tells me every day that his ears are calloused, and he won't lose, right?"
"Miss," Brunei said, with a sad face, "I haven't played it, but I also know that your understanding is a bit too big." No matter what it is, since it's called gambling, it's definitely based on luck. β
"Oh, luck?" Scarly raised an eyebrow, "and how lucky do you think you can be my guard?"
β...... My luck is only 40, this is the system's approval, big sister!" Brunei wanted to cry without tears, and once again forcibly swallowed back the words that were about to blurt out, and replied stubbornly: "Very good." But, Missβ"
Scarly raised her hand again and grabbed it where there was originally long blond hair, but now there was only air: "So, since you have strong calculation skills and good luck, what are you? You can't lose, right?"
"......" Brunei's whole face was about to twitch.
[What are you thinking? Didn't she say she would give you back the 100 standard units you paid? You don't want to gamble and offend her, not only is the 100 not scored, but the 500 that Ford said will probably be in vain?
"That's right. As soon as the system said, Brunei suddenly realized and bowed deeply to Scully: "Miss, I promise to do my best." β
β...... Still, it's weird, why did I struggle so much about her money just now?"
[Hey, hey, youth. γ
Scully finally chose a game called "Texas Hold'em", which was massively gathered in the northwest corner of the "Golden Coins", and it is said that it was a genius game invented by Master Vaal when he was bored during the unification of the world, so even if the pronunciation of its name is obscure, it is still used to this day - it was a drunken old man pulling Brunei to tell him, the old man looked well-dressed, but his face was full of sadness, he seemed to have a great interest in the "Texas Hold'em", but he did not go to the table to play, just watched from the sidelines.
"Stud, stud, stud, such a big card dare not play! it is really useless!" he muttered from time to time.
Brunei finally couldn't help but ask: "Venerable sir, dare to ask, since you are so, well, full of interest, why don't you go and play two by yourself?"
"Ahem. The old man, who was obviously drunk and flushed, covered his cheeks like a blushing girlβthat being said, Brunei had never seen Sue and Scarry, who belonged to the girl, do such a thing, it was just the usual metaphor he had learned, "I, well, played it today." So, now, the interest is not so great. β
"I see. Brunei Darussalam, who watched for a while, also roughly knew a little bit of the basic rules, and secretly slandered: "I'm afraid there aren't so many chips." β
Seeing that Scarly next to him had long since lost the patience to observe, he had long been looking around and didn't know what he was looking at, and he was not interested in listening to the old man's nonsense anymore, so he smiled and asked, "So, can you tell me where the table that only needs to put 1 10 standard chips in a game first?"
"Put it in first?" the old man stared at the misty drunken eyes, and looked Brunei up and down for a while, causing him to start worrying about whether he had said something wrong, and then he suddenly realized, "You mean the ante? The table with the lowest ante - it's the table in the corner, do you see? β
Although the old man had already stood aside and watched when Brunei first came over, Brunei understood the position of the table he said, and after thanking him, he said to Scarly, "Then, Miss, we-"
"You're finally optimistic?" Scarly glanced at him, and suddenly showed a sly smile, "You're confident, aren't you?"
Brunei nodded with a calm smile: "Miss, I will definitely complete your order." β
"Okay. Well, let's race. Scarly smiled wickedly, "I've been letting you watch this for a long time, you can't say I'm bullying you, right?
Brunei was stunned for a moment: "Miss, shouldn't you, from the beginning-"
"Shut up, shut up!" Scarly's face turned red again, and she looked to the side, "I didn't mean to win against you! I'm better than you, am I? I saved your life when I was hunting demon wolves! If you win against me, I'll ask Uncle Ford to pay you an extra 100 standard units. How?"
Brunei raised his eyebrows and swallowed: "Miss, if I really win, you really won't blame me, right?"
"Huh, do you really think you're better than me?" Scarly's bright red cheeks turned a flush of excitement, "Of course, I certainly wouldn't be offended. But do you really think you've won?"
As they spoke, the two walked over to the table and sat down in two separate seats not far from each other.
The woman standing in the far corner smiled at the two of them, put away the cards that had just ended on the table, and drew the chips to a large man, who was full of smiles, grabbed the chips in front of him, proudly patted the shoulder of the person next to him with a painful face, laughed, and walked towards the table next to him.
"Are you two new faces, are you playing for the first time?" the woman took the cards aside and pulled out a new deck of cards, "Do you know the rules?
"That's the bestβ" Brunei replied halfway with a sincere smile, only halfway through.
"No, you don't. Let's get straight to it. Scarly interrupted him with a wicked smile, and when Brunei looked at her with a confused gaze, she just smiled and shook her head, "Haven't you been watching for a long time? β
β...... Miss, you, should you-" The corners of Brunei's mouth twitched, "Have you played this?"
"Gambling is a game of mutual deception. Scarly looked up triumphantly, "Got it?"
Now there are six people at this table, including Brunei and Scarly. After looking around, the dealer placed two square cardboard sheets facing up on the back in front of each of them, with a huge gold coin drawn on the back, but the painting was far less elaborate than on the signboard, and it did not have the function of emitting its own light.
Brunei learned what he saw before, sneakily rubbed the table and picked up the cards, and what caught his eye was two "3s" of one red and one black, if Brunei remembered correctly, this kind of card should be called-
[Spade square piece one pair of 3, well, how to say, is it considered good luck? γ
β...... Don't need an education test?" Bruneith pouted.
[Haha, don't you remember it yourself? So what to do? This kind of luck that doesn't go up or down. γ
β...... I was mistaken. In this game, the most important thing is not calculation, but it is also not luck. The corners of Brunei's mouth hooked, "That's why I'm so confident." β
"So, let's start betting. Let's start with, this gentleman?"
The woman in charge of dealing the cards, Brunei Darussalam, seemed to have heard someone call their position a "dealer," and she put her hand next to a man who was described as dirty and dressed as dirty, and said softly. The man, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and showed a very enjoyable expression, raised his hand, and angrily skimmed out his chips: "One." β
The man who was patted on the shoulder by the fat man who had just left the table was not dressed dirty, although it was not luxurious, and he seemed to be in a good situation, but at this time he was lying on the table with a smile, constantly grabbing his hair, and when he heard "one", he was shocked, and he trembled and stretched out his hand, pressed his hand on the table, gritted his teeth, as if it took a lot of effort, before he let go of his hand: "Follow." β
Brunei threw out one of the four coins in his hand: "Follow." β
"Follow. Scully seemed to throw it earlier than Bruneith.
"......," the man next to Scarly was silent, whipping out a chip. Followed by a young man in his twenties, his clothes were washed a little white, but they were still clean, he raised his hand high, slapped it on the table, raised his hand, and revealed a chip below: "I will follow!"
Brunei glanced at Scarly and saw that she was looking at her with a smug look on her face.
Three cards are placed in the middle of the face, which are "Ace of Hearts", "7 of Spades", and "3 of Clubs". If Brunei remembers correctly, this probably means that the two threes in his hand can make up the so-called "three of a kind", and he saw a person win four people's cards with "three of a kind", which should be a big "card type".
The eyes of the man who described the obscene man glanced at the dealer from time to time, and after looking at it for a long time, as if he had suddenly realized, he pushed the cards and leaned back in the chair - as if to indicate that he had given up his chips.
The man with his hair tousled by himself looked at the last six or seven chips in his hand, and the expression on his face made Brunei wonder if he might kill himself at any time, and after thinking for a while, he slapped another chip.
"Follow. Although Brunei himself only had three chips left, he was still relatively calm at the moment, and the man hesitated for so long that he didn't need to think about it too much, so he threw it out.
Scarly stared at the three cards on the table, pouting as if she was playing with the cards, and threw her head to the side in displeasure: "Fold the cards." β
The man on the other side of Scarly remained silent, tapping his fingers back and forth on the table, and finally waved his hand and pushed away the cards.
The young man at the end beat his chest there: "Bad luck, damn it! But I want to call!"
The fourth card was dealt a club "7". The man with unkempt hair jerked to his feet and lay on the table, and at last the young man stopped yelling and frowned.
β...... System, twice psychology, judging the thoughts and mental states of the two of them separately. β
[Okay, then, psychological test: 49<60, success.] The shaggy dude, as hard as he tried to pretend to be excited and happy, his trembling legs had already exposed the weakness inside him. γ
[Psychological test: 22<60, success.] The young man had undoubtedly only come here occasionally, and had no intention of hiding his thoughts, and he was still in a very excited mood at the moment, but he was undoubtedly distressed by something. γ
"......" Brunei's smile under the mask became more and more hideous, "Look, system." Scarly is right when she says that the so-called gambling is actually a game of deception against each other. And as long as you're as reliable as you are now, hereβ"
"I'm invincible. β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Questions about the big and small blinds...... Because, you see, I set the denomination of the chips a little too big, so ...... Well, let's think of it as a subtle difference in the rules of the same game in another world. The same goes for other non-logical bugs.
