The cards, which were always turning nimbly at their fingertips, gradually stopped, and the golden borders of the cards shimmered brightly under the light like DeWitt's gaze.

Regarding Meng Lei's proposal, DeWitt said that it was impossible not to be impressed.

In fact, if Meng Lei's bet was just to pay Serge's arrears and settle the bad debt, then DeWitt might have hesitated.

After all, 50,000 marks is actually nothing to a casino.

The pirate community who put the word "fun" into practice is spending astronomical amounts in the casino every day.

It is no exaggeration to say that, on average, the casino's revenue is around five or six hundred thousand marks per day.

It's just 50,000 yuan, and DeWitt doesn't particularly care about it at all.

The reason why Serge was called here today and detained here to forcibly collect the account, and the idle and boring to have some fun accounted for a large part of it, on the other hand, considering the rules and reputation of the casino, it was to put some pressure on Serge, at least on the surface.

However, Meng Lei's bet not only mentioned repaying Serge's arrears, but even added an additional 50,000 marks to the gambling money.

If you lose, you will have to pay the casino a lump sum of 100,000 marks!

Such conditions are still very attractive to DeWitt.

Although he himself opened a casino and knew the dangers of gambling as an entertainment activity, DeWitt was also a gambler himself, and he was also quite accomplished in gambling, and he had been immersed in it for many years.

In his opinion, no matter what kind of gambling method Meng Lei chooses, he will not have a reason to lose.

What's more, now it's still in its own home field, and there is no need to worry about the other party's hands and feet in terms of props.

The probability of him winning this bet is at least 80%.

You can win 100,000 marks with a casual move of your fingers, how can you turn away this money sent to your door for nothing?

Taking a step back, even in the worst-case scenario, losing this bet would only be a loss of 50,000 marks.

This loss is still affordable for him.

Besides, he didn't plan to recover Serge's 50,000 at all, and he still understood the reason for casting a long line to catch big fish.

The point is that he knows very well what kind of person Serge is, that is, an out-and-out gambler, who is impossible to quit at all, and is a long-term and stable source of income for the casino.

How could such a loyal customer be driven to a dead end?

"Are you sure you're going to make this gamble?"

De Witt suppressed the heat in his heart and looked at Meng Lei with a smile for the final confirmation.

Meng Lei nodded, snuffed out the cigarette casually, and gave an affirmative reply.

"That's right, if you don't have a problem with this bet, we can start right away."

Hearing this, Hans and Huo Ye were suddenly in a hurry, and wanted to stop but were stopped by Meng Lei.

It happened so suddenly, they were completely unprepared and couldn't figure out what Meng Lei wanted to do.

Speaking of which, the two of them have been in contact with Meng Lei for a long time, and they know Meng Lei's character very well, and they have never seen Meng Lei have such impulsiveness.

It is simply unreasonable to take such a big risk for the sake of a person who is not particularly important.

To put it mildly, such behavior is not worthy of being a fleet commander, this is gambling on the future of the fleet, and there is no reason at all.

However, looking at Meng Lei's determined attitude and the calm smile on his face, it was not like an impulsive decision, and the two of them inevitably felt a little guilty in their hearts, and they couldn't figure out Meng Lei's true intentions.

At this time, Devit also looked at Meng Lei with a serious face, and seeing that he didn't mean to joke, he immediately grinned and said:

"Yes, I accept your offer, just according to the bet you said, let's take a gamble!"

After a pause, DeWitt seemed to remember something again, adding:

"If you lose later, I hope you can really come up with that much money, otherwise, you can stay and be with Serge......"

The rough voice was calm in tone, but there was a hint of menace in it.

100,000 marks, not too much, no less.

An industrious bounty team that floats in the sea for a month can earn almost enough of this amount.

But excluding the consumption of fuel, commissions, ammunition and various supplies, as well as the maintenance of submarines, what can end up in the hands of the hand will be at least a third smaller than this figure.

This is a fortunate situation, the team has not been reduced, only some low-risk bounty tasks are done, and the monthly income of a bounty team is about 60,000 or 70,000 marks, and the distribution to each member is even less.

Of course, more dangerous tasks also come with higher rewards and cannot be generalized.

Meng Lei didn't look very old, although Hans and Huo Ye called him the commander and the captain, but Devit was very skeptical about what his true identity was, and whether he could really take out so much money.

After all, in the alien society, captains of this age are extremely rare.

Even if there are a few existences, it is inherited through the family, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to buy a submarine as a captain by their own hard work and accumulation.

At least at this age, it's definitely quite rare, and it's no wonder that Devitt has concerns about this.

"Don't worry, Chief DeWitt."

In the face of DeWitt's threats and doubts, Meng Lei smiled and said confidently:

"My submarine is moored at Dock 45, named 'Sea Locust', which is well documented by the Security Office, and it must be easily proved by your connections and connections that what I said is true.

If I can't come up with the money, I'll put the supplies on board as collateral.

No matter how bad it is, I can put the boat here, what other concerns do you have? ”

Meng Lei held DeWitt without a trace, and he was secretly happy when he heard it, and he couldn't help but feel a little good for Meng Lei.

But this one-sided favor is shallow after all, not enough to make Devit fully believe Meng Lei's statement.

At that moment, DeWitt explained that the strong man who opened the door just now immediately contacted the Security Office for verification.

A moment later, the Security Office replied in the affirmative, that there was indeed an F-class exploration craft named "Sea Locust", which docked at Dock 45 yesterday.

According to the data registered by the Sea Locust in the alliance system, the owner of the submarine is Meng Lei.

"I didn't expect that Little Brother Meng is so young and promising, seeing that you are only in your early twenties, you have actually become the captain of an F-class exploration boat, which is really amazing!"

DeWitt approved heartily and was surprised.

However, he finally believed that what Meng Lei said was true, and he did have the capital to make this gamble.

"The manager has won the prize."

Meng Lei smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then said: "Since my assets have been confirmed, then let's not waste time, let's start?" ”

DeWitt nodded, and was about to say yes, when a surging sense of déjà vu suddenly flashed through his mind.

He always felt that the strange name "Meng Lei" vaguely seemed to be heard somewhere, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Strange, Meng Lei...... Sea Locust......

When did Sil City come out with such a young bounty captain, how could he never have been in contact with it before?

In addition, this guy only arrived in Modo City yesterday, but it was sealed four days ago, how did he get in? ”

A series of doubts instantly appeared in DeWitt's mind, and he looked at Meng Lei's gaze, and gradually became a little wrong.

However, what the virtues of those security officers on duty at the docks were, DeWitt knew very well.

There are many ways to get into town, and as long as the money is in place, everything is not a problem.

Thinking that the other party also bribed the security officer on duty at the time, he quietly infiltrated the city, which is not a big deal, but if you want to go out again, with the current situation, it will not be so easy.

DeWitt just went through these questions in his head and didn't think too much about them.

He had no intention of paying attention to other people's affairs, and the most important thing for him at the moment was to pocket the 50,000 marks that had been sent to his door.

"yes, let's not waste any more time."

DeWitt smiled and nodded, and once again habitually played with the exquisitely crafted card in his hand, and asked meaningfully: "Little Brother Meng, I don't know what type of gambling you like?" ”

"The dice? Card? Or roulette? ”

Meng Lei actually already had an idea in his heart, but he still made a thoughtful look.

After pondering for a while, he pretended to be entangled and said:

"Your Excellency De Witt, I rarely visit a place like a casino, and I don't know much about these games, so let's choose the easiest way, use cards to compare the size, and bet blindly.

Each person is dealt two hole cards and a community card, the hole card is buckled below and is forbidden to look over, and both sides can judge whether they call according to the size of their respective community cards.

If one player folds, the hand is void and the next round is restarted.

If both players choose to call at the same time, then everyone shows their hole cards at the same time, and the team with the highest value of the three cards together wins!

What do you think? ”

The words fell, and before De Witt could speak, Meng Lei added another sentence and said:

"Of course, folding can not continue endlessly, then lose the meaning of gambling, we each only have three chances to fold, if the three chances are used up, the fourth time regardless of whether the community card is satisfied or not, must choose to call, life and death are all up to God's will!

This kind of gameplay is full of uncertainty and can vividly reflect the meaning of the word 'bet'.

Even if the community card looks small, it is possible that the hole card number is very large, and there is a possibility that the Jedi will turn the table.

And even if the numerical advantage of the community card is exhausted, it is possible to end up with the two hole cards with the lowest number of points, and thus end up regrettably.

Everything is full of unknowns, there are great variables, you can't bring your skills into it, and it's all a matter of luck to win or lose. ”

Hearing this, DeWitt's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was quite interested in the gameplay proposed by Meng Lei.

He himself likes card betting, otherwise he wouldn't be eager to play the card in his hand.

Originally, he was still a little worried, for fear that Meng Lei would choose roulette, or other gambling methods such as dice, which would make him lose his advantage, and he was even ready to speak out to dissuade him.

Unexpectedly, what Meng Lei finally chose was actually the cards he was most familiar with!

It just happened to hit the back of his hand, and it didn't fit too well.

The only thing that made him feel uneasy was that it was difficult for him to take advantage of his previous experience in this kind of play, just like Meng Lei said, everything depends on the will of God.

In addition, there were so few chances for both sides to fold, only three times.

If all three of these draws are community cards with lower points, the odds drop dramatically.

It's a matter of probability, a third of the points are forfeited, and you can't exactly expect your hole cards to kill them.

However, this is also the charm of gambling.

It is under the effect of this fluke psychology that the moment when the Jedi finally turns the tables, the mood will be so happy and intoxicating.

There are even some people who gamble not to win, but simply to experience the excitement of that moment.

Of course

With DeWitt's card skills, in the process of shuffling and dealing cards, he can use his skills to do some tricks.

However, for such a gamble, he disdained to do that.

A mere 100,000 marks in chips was not enough to gamble on his reputation.

"Yes, then according to what you said, we will use cards to compare the size and finally determine the winner!"

DeWitt smiled and nodded, agreeing to Meng Lei's proposed play.

Then, he motioned to the strong man who had just opened the door, and went outside to get a fresh, unopened deck of cards, which he washed and spread out on the table.

"Sit!"

Then, the two of them pulled over the delicate chairs next to the table and sat facing each other.

Hans and Huo Ye also glanced at each other at the same time, both of them saw each other's anxiety, but they didn't say anything more, they could only choose to believe in Meng Lei unconditionally, expecting a good result in the end.

And at this time, Serge, who had been in a state of complete confusion and had not said a word again during the whole process, finally came back to his senses.

He never thought that these strange-looking guys in front of him would actually go out to make a big gamble with the night manager of Jinli Casino for him.

Until now, he still has a feeling of unreality, and he doesn't understand why the other party is doing this.

However, he didn't speak anymore, got up from the ground silently, and stood behind Meng Lei without saying a word.

After Meng Lei and the others were all seated, they set up a posture.

At this time, a sexy dealer with a hot body walked up from outside the door.

The slender and delicate jade hand flashed quickly, re-shuffled the cards, and then stacked the cards with professional techniques, bowing respectfully to DeWitt and nodding.

DeWitt smiled slightly, his eyes locked on Meng Lei's body, and he raised his hand to the dealer and said:

"Guests first, let's deal cards."
