Chapter 38: Gold Coins (6)
[Psychological Examination: 0860, failed.] You can't guess his sincerity from his exaggerated performances. γ
"Fold the cards. β
......
[Cleft heart test: 39<60, successful.] You've learned his habits, and he's undoubtedly bluffing. γ
"Follow. β
......
The man who was disheveled all over his body had already lost all his chips and left, and the lewd man next to the dealer was also defeated in a big victory, and left the table with the remaining chips in his hands, Scarly's six chips had risen to twenty at one point, but she had already admitted the defeat of the game, handed the chips to Brunei Darussalam, and watched quietly.
Brunei didn't know how much time had passed, and since then, all that was left in his eyes was the glowing metal sheets, and the strange patterns and numbers on the pieces of paper. He barely realized when he had left the corner table and sat down at the center of the entire Texas Hold'em zone in the northwest corner, and he didn't realize that the metal piece in his hand was no longer blue, and it was far more than the pitiful number of three or five pieces.
Succeeded - his hand is not big, call, fails, folds, succeeds, his hand is really big, folds...... He mechanically repeats exactly the same movements, in the words of the system, as if it were a programmed machine.
He only won about 30 percent of the table at the table, but he always won big and lost too little, and by the time he realized it, he had become the center of attention, and he had a mountain of red chips piled up in front of him.
......He waited for a long time, and no new cards were dealt to him, and then he recovered a little confused, and looked up, and saw that the woman, who was taller than the dealer in the corner before, was staring at him with a strange expression. I lowered my head and looked around, but I didn't notice anything abnormal in my body.
Then, Brunei's mind became a little more active, and his eyes were taken away from the two of them, and the people around the table, the red-dressed, steady-looking old man seemed to be very gambling, and had pressed a hundred red chips to scare him off, and the guy in black was indeed much more stable, and he couldn't get much oil and water out of him......
All these people are looking at themselves with the same strange eyes - why? Because they were won money, are they starting to hold grudges? No, it can't be. If that's what you lose, why gamble?
Wait a minute, it seems that there are still people, and there are still people around watching here...... Originally, there were a lot of onlookers, but now these people are looking at themselves, and the expression on their faces - "system, psychology." β
[Psychological Assessment: 57<60, Success.] Their expressions are not kind to you, but they don't have very strong malice, which makes you confused for a while. Eventually, though, you can see that they seem to be expecting something against you, because they seem to have a mixture of hostility and sympathy in their eyes. γ
Brunei is very accustomed to and understands the expression of the system, so even if he is absent-minded, he also found the real point from the complex and lengthy words of the system at the first time: "Expectation-......"
The word made Brunei look around again, and he saw Scarly's expression behind him. It wasn't the unwillingness to lose to him, but a look of surprise and dissatisfaction, but he bit his lower lip lightly, as if he was worried about something.
After "......" met Brunei's gaze, Scarly opened her mouth to say something.
But she couldn't hear it clearly, it seemed to be a completely unfamiliar language, neither "folding" nor "calling", and no matter how much she listened to it, it didn't look like "raise". What is she talking about?
β...... Bruneisi, you, aren't you actually very good at this game?"
Brunei suddenly came to his senses, and at the same time heard what Scari said, at the same time, Scarly took two steps towards him, squeezing his eyes and pursing his lips when he spoke, Brunei was stunned: "Miss, are you uncomfortable?"
Scarly's mouth was slightly open, her pale red lips reflecting a seductive color in the light, and the look of her already large eyes made her look even more cute. However, she didn't maintain this cute appearance for a few seconds, and then she raised her eyebrows as usual, pouted, and put her hands around her chest: "Noβit's none of my business now! It's about youβdid you play Texas Hold'em somewhere? and played it well?"
Brunei breathed a sigh of relief, laughed softly, and said in his heart, "What, it turns out that you are still struggling with the matter of losing to me." You can't see it at all. I wouldn't be so obsessed, even if I was really good at it, she lied first. System, don't you say?"
γ...... Hey, little Bruneith, you're so interesting. You're right. γ
Brunei smiled at Scarly: "Miss, I told you before, I had never participated in gambling before you brought me here, and this is the first time I have heard of this kind of game. As your bodyguard, even if it's temporary, I won't lie to you. That's your request, isn't it?"
Unfortunately, Scarly did not stretch her brows as Brunei expected, but raised her forehead slightly.
"Alright, Scarlett, I see. Before Brunei had time to think about what was wrong with his response, a soft, imposing male voice interrupted his thoughts, and he looked at the handsome man in fine clothes smiling at Scarly, gently pressing his left hand, and then looking at him with a less friendly look.
In his right hand, he held a transparent glass with his index and middle fingers, and the amber liquid in it was shaking slightlyβseeing this, Brunei finally got a little impressed, stood up and saluted him, remembered for three seconds, and then said, "Hats off, dear Mr. Fernando." β
Strange to say, the meeting with this Thracian Fernando was actually only a few hours ago, but Brunei's impression of him was so thin that he couldn't even remember his name without remembering it.
β...... System, what's going on?Did I cast any spell?" Brunei is now getting used to the existence of the system, and the best proof of this is his growing dependence on the seemingly omnipotent system, "Well, judging this thing, it's an educational test, right?"
[Okay.] Well, the education test: 4<5<55, a big success. You don't need to think too much about it, judging by your common sense, the state you are in now is undoubtedly due to the bad state caused by fatigue caused by previous mental overconcentration, and the main symptoms include lack of concentration, memory loss, and decreased judgment ability. γ
β...... What?" Brunei heard the answer again, which was far beyond his imagination, and couldn't help but be stunned again.
[That is to say, you are usually quite stupid, gambling just now obviously didn't cost you much effort, but you are still too involved, addicted to gambling, unable to extricate yourself, and now temporarily, become mentally retarded!]
The volume of the system suddenly amplified to the point where a strong man was almost roaring in his ear, and Brunei was shocked, and cold sweat poured out. As soon as he came to his senses, he heard Fernando in front of him continue to wear his unchanging smile and calmly say to him: "Friend-Brunei, right? Where are you from?"
After the system was so frightened, Brunei was completely back to his usual state, and now he didn't need psychological judgment, he was able to judge that the situation he was in at the moment seemed to be quite bad, considering that he still had to follow the rules here, he decided to answer the other party's question honestly: "Dear Mr. Fernando, I used to be from the Empire. β
His answer caused a low discussion in the crowd of onlookers, but Fernando didn't seem very satisfied with his honest answer, and his brow furrowed imperceptibly: "Really?"
Brunei faintly felt that the atmosphere was a little bad, and replied stubbornly: "Yes, the eldest lady can prove it for me." β
"Thrace, listen to me, Brunei he doesβ" Scully took his words almost immediately, but Fernando interrupted her with a finger and a slight wobble. Scarly didn't like or respect Fernando, so he was so submissive at the moment, probably because he had some kind of special influence here.
Sure enough, Fernando turned his head and smiled at Scarlett, "Scarlett, I understand that you care about the kindness of your subordinates, and I appreciate your courage to pursue freedom. However, it is very dangerous to trust people of unknown origin. I have understood that you did not mean to bring him to smash my field, so this matter is my affair with Mr. Brunei Carlyle. β
Fernando said and turned his head and raised the cup in his hand to Brunei again: "Friend, I am very good friends with Scully, so, for her sake, I believe you once." β
"What do you believe me?" said Brunei silently in his heart, and then bowed to the other party again: "Thank you, honorable Monsieur Fernando, for your kindness. β
"However, just because I believe in you doesn't mean that everyone else here can believe in you. Fernando shook his head and said with a smile, "In 'gold coins', as long as it is considered a thousand tricks, all fingers can be chopped off according to the rules." Now I believe in you, and I can only give you a chance to prove yourself to everyone. β
"Out of the thousand?" Brunei hesitated slightly: "System, education verification." β
[Education Verification: 33<65, Success.] When you search for information related to gambling, you don't have a hard time remembering that the trader who told you the story of gambling once mentioned that the way to cheat gambling to ensure the maximum possible profit is called a thousand dollars. γ
The people around them all sneered when they heard Bruneisi's questioning question. Fernando also shook his head slightly, but continued: "That's right. You won close to 70,000 standard units in 'Gold Coins' from 100 standard units of chips in just three hours. It's not that the 'gold coins' can't afford this money, many people are suspicious of you. Friend, I think you can understand how unfair it is to other people if one person takes away so much money by cheating, right?"
[What to do, little Bruneith? What he said makes sense, doesn't he?]
"Does that make sense? They don't need to do anything, they can just take out 70,000 standard units for entertainment. Have they ever thought about any injustice to the others?" Brunei laughed coldly, but everything was hidden under the mask, "What's more, if a person doesn't cheat and take away so much money, is it fair?"
γ...... Hmph, interesting. Very interesting, little Bruneith. You've really changed a lot. γ
"Let me ask, until now, you won't tell me again, when you help me judge, there may be an accidental breath leakage, exposing your existence, and putting me in danger again, right?"
[Huh.] Little Bruneith, haven't I said it all before?we have become one in the true sense of the word, I am your magic emblem, where is the problem of being exposed or not?]
"Good. Brunei laughed again: "Mr. Fernando, I remember that you wanted me to call you Thrace? I am willing to be tested by all tests to prove that I have not cheated at all in the process of gambling." β
β...... Ha, very good, great, friend, Mr. Brunei Darussalam, I would love to see your innocence. Fernando was clearly a little uncomfortable with Brunei's sudden change of attitude, "So-"
"It's just that there's one thing to say up front. Brunei glanced at Scarly, who was looking at him with a worried expression, and grinned again, "After fully proving my innocence, I hope that you, all of you, will sincerely apologize to the eldest lady for disturbing her for no reason." β
Then, Brunei turned around and bent down to Scarly, "I hope you will forgive me for my self-assertive behavior, Miss. β
"Ahh Scarly's face turned red, and she looked around a little nervously, then looked at Brunei for a few seconds, glanced at Fernando, and suddenly laughed, clenched her fist, and waved it viciously twice, "It's okay, I forgive you." Brunei Carlyle, as my temporary bodyguard, don't disgrace me!"
Fernando's eyes narrowed slightly: "...... It's good, it's good. β
