Chapter 12 Gambling

"I'll just use this yellow chip, and I'll see, oh, ten silver coins, oh, that's generous." Babu glanced at the woman with a complicated expression on the side with a smile, and the chips rolled all the way behind the back of four fingers, "Let's have a good game, how about it?" ”

"We don't have to play with a stranger." The four of them muttered for a while, and one of the men sneered, "We are guests personally invited by His Majesty the City Lord, you ......"

"I won, you can lose as much as you should, and you won......" Babu interrupted the other man directly, and bounced his chips high, and the chips tumbled in the air, and finally landed in front of the dealer accurately. Babu sat down to himself, spread his hands, and said with a smile, "If you win, you can take the chips, and besides, we will turn around and leave, and never appear in Donggu City again." ”

"Huh?" The breathing of the four of them slowed down for a second almost at the same time, you look at me, I look at you, quite a look of interest.

"What you said is true?" The two men and two women looked at each other for a long time, and finally the eyes of the remaining three fell on the other man, he coughed a few times, and said with a straight face, "After losing the chips, you leave immediately, don't regret it?" ”

"Hahaha, it's the first time I've heard of regrets in the casino, what the hell ......is it," Babu said with a condescending sense of superiority, in a tone of pity, "I know what you're worried about, you have also lived in our hometown for more than half a year, and you can be regarded as half a fellow countryman, and we didn't plan to stay here for long, so it's okay to leave a little earlier, and just give a few fellow villagers a favor." But I'm going to have to give me a reason. ”

As he spoke, Babu pointed to the table, and then to Monica, who was holding her hand on his shoulder behind his back: "It's not that we don't run out of chips, but this time I'll only use this one, and when one loses, we'll turn around and leave, and never stay too long." Well, it's sincere enough. And you have to show your sincerity, and that is to give us a reason to leave at the table, well, to win our chips, that's how you show your sincerity. It's good enough, don't you want us to get out without saying anything? ”

"Okay, I'll give you this reason." The man slapped the table, pointed at himself and said loudly, "Remember, I'm Elvis of the Hills Chamber of Commerce, the one who kicked you out of East Valley City, say, what are you going to bet on?" ”

"Whatever you want." Babu made a gesture of please, "The gambling method is up to you, change it as you like." ”

"Whatever I want? Can I say anything? Elvis sneered defiantly, "Then what if I want to say the size of the smoke?" ”

"Don't ask me, ask her." Babu pointed to the pretty dealer, "If she says it's okay, it's okay." ”

Before being suddenly pushed down the stage, the dealer subconsciously looked at the woman who came with the Babu, and after the woman nodded, the dealer said crisply: "We really have a draw in the money bag casino, but because the gameplay is too simple, there are not many people willing to play, so it is not available to guests for the time being, but if the guests request, we can still provide this service." ”

Speaking, spread the five decks of poker on the table, and then said after giving each of the two people: "After getting the cards and seeing, the two please bet on each other, and the latter can raise until the bets of both sides are unified, and then the cards are relatively large." If there is a tie of the same suit and the same number of points, and the game is restarted, do you have any objections? ”

Babu looked at Elvis on the other side and smiled without saying a word, Elvis was entangled for a while, gritted his teeth, patted the table and said, "No opinion, that's it." ”

"Okay, please take a seat."

The dealer immediately entered the state, and no longer talked nonsense, the slender and delicate ten fingers skillfully shuffled and cut the cards like a butterfly wearing flowers, and then wiped on the card table, and unfolded the back of the non-resumption card in front of the two.

As if suddenly interested, Babu winked at the dealer, slowly poked his head over, blew lightly on her white fingers, and said softly: "I like these delicate hands, and I believe that she will bring me good luck, so let these hands cut the cards for me...... Hiss. ”

Monica casually withdrew two fingers from behind the back of the man who was too into a state, and the female dealer's cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly cut the cards a few times, and then she gave Babu a white look in anger.

Elvis, who was betting against him, was much more cautious and cut several times in a row before stopping.

"Hmph", the two cards were dealt to the two of them respectively, and Babu didn't even look at it, and directly signaled the dealer to put the chips that he had just thrown down.

In the whispers of a group of spectators around him, Elvis grabbed the card and glanced at it, gritted his teeth and slapped a yellow chip: "I'm following, come on." ”

As he spoke, he directly turned over the hole cards, and a red heart J was in sight. The cards are similar to what Babu remembers, and more than ten are also JQK, but the patterns on them are several strange-shaped monsters, which look quite weird.

"Hmph, my winning rate is at least 70 percent, you dare to bet without even looking at it, I don't believe you......"

As soon as he was halfway through the sentence, he closed his mouth, because Babu had already signaled the dealer to turn over the hole cards for him, and when he saw the card of the queen of spades, he angrily threw down the jack in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Come again." ”

Babu retrieved one of the yellow chips, played with it again, put the other one on the table, and stretched out his hand to the dealer and said, "Please continue, I am still the same, I don't need to look at the cards, I believe you can bring me good luck." ”

"Okay, then don't regret it." Elvis threw down another yellow chip and said in a loud voice, "You dare to bet without looking, I dare, I don't believe you can be so lucky." ”

"Heh, I don't watch it because I know I'm going to win, what about you, do you know the fate of the future?" Babu pointed to the table from afar, "So, do you want to continue?" ”

The dealer was consciously about to turn over the cards, but one hand pressed on her hand, and then gently pushed her away, tilting her head to see that it was the woman who was playing the piano at the door.

"Second Highness, ...... are you" Elvis and a few other companions were stunned, looking a little unhappy, "Do you want to stop it?" I remember that you also offer a game duel between guests. ”

"Why, everyone is watching, how can I not make everyone happy."

Elvis realized that the environment was a little too quiet, and when he looked up, he found that the gamblers around him had stopped, and hundreds of people gathered around the table where they were located, watching this rare and strange gambling game with great interest.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll deal the cards for the two of you personally." His Royal Highness looked at Elvis and the others with amorous eyes, and said softly, "A few of them have always come to take care of business recently, and they get along so well with the children in the store, and now it is also appropriate to do something to repay you, everyone is right." ”

"Papapa", a bunch of onlookers applauded on the spot, not the pointing and pointing that made Elvis and the others redden, knowing that if they retreated now, they would not have to be people in the city in the future, so they could only look at Babu and Monica with a sneer, gritted their teeth and said: "Okay, then let's have fun, I want to see if your luck will always be so good." ”

As he spoke, he slapped out two chips and said loudly: "Second Highness, please deal the cards, I will follow as many as you want." ”

Babu stared at the hand that His Royal Highness was dealing cards, and seemed to be a little distracted for a while, until a rough but extremely familiar hand was on his shoulder, which seemed to be moving in the direction of his ears, he withdrew his gaze, smiled meaningfully at His Second Highness, shook his head and said: "Of course it's not always so good, who can guarantee that their luck will always be good, right, so I won't follow this game." ”

A sneering expression froze on Elvis's face, and he reached out to turn over Babu's hole cards, but Monica on the side held them down. Babu smiled brightly at him and shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, Elvis, you are not qualified to look at my hole cards in this game, let's get down, heh." ”

"Okay, okay, then we'll see after the game." Elvis re-launched his chips and said with a gloomy face, "If you have the ability, you will give up all the way and see who will lose face in the end." ”

"Gee, I don't want to be embarrassed, so I'll have to call." Babu nodded, motioned to His Royal Highness to dial his two chips, and then did not look at the cards, but smiled at Elvis, "Actually, I admire you, really." ”

"Huh?"

"You dare to bet on this kind of card, full of courage." As Babu spoke, His Royal Highness turned over the two of them's hole cards, and a three-fold of clubs on the table made Elvis feel like a clown. Babu looked at the chips on the table that belonged to him and sighed sympathetically, "Elvis, are you sure you want to continue?" I seem to have more and more chips, and I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it soon. ”

"Don't bother." The four people of the Hills Chamber of Commerce muttered for a while, and several of them rummaged for a while, and took out all the chips on their bodies to Elvis, at least thirty or so, which is equivalent to more than three gold coins in cash, which is already a huge amount of money. Elvis threw a huge amount of money on the table and shouted, "Come on, if you bet like this, as long as you lose, it will be over, I really don't believe you can win until the end." ”

"Then try it."

Babu's breezy smile contrasted sharply with Elvis's angry expression, and Babu kept his hands flat on his lap, occasionally lifting it to stuff a small snack from the maid into Anna's mouth. Monica simply followed the example of the people opposite, and also sat next to Babu, and the two put their heads together from time to time to laugh for a while, and the relaxed appearance was hard to believe, and the judgment made between the two talking and laughing was directly related to the ownership of the pile of more and more yellow chips in front of them.

Yes, more and more.

Elvis believe it or not, he's already lost three games. Although Babu folded several times during this period, he always maintained a winning record, Elvis had more than 30 chips in his hand, almost all of them were in front of Babu, and the other four looked at the few chips left in their hands in a daze, until Babu's chuckle woke them up.

"Do you want to continue?" Babu tried to pull his finger out of Anna's mouth, his smile still gentle, "Three months of gold coins is not a small amount, or this is the end of today?" The days will be long in the future, and Donggu City is so big, it is not impossible to accommodate two caravans, with the generosity of His Majesty the City Lord, it must be able to treat both of us fairly, and there is no need to divide the victory and defeat here. ”

"Hmph, come again." It's good that Babu didn't mention these, but when he mentioned these, the four people who were still a little hesitant no longer hesitated, and a few people got together, and took out five gold coins from their bags, although their faces were painful, but the four of them still glared at Babu and said, "One more game, you win this game, whatever you do in the future, we will never intervene, but if you lose, fulfill your promise, leave Donggu City for me, and never come back." All of us here today, including Your Highness, have helped us to testify. ”

"Alas, what a pity." Babu sighed at the gold coins on the table, "Five gold coins is a small amount of money, but I'm not here to make money today, my original intention is just to give you a chance, so that you can find an excuse to let us go." Since you don't have the luck to do so today, don't be discouraged, and when we meet Your Majesty tomorrow, let's continue in the evening? Ah, no, after meeting Your Majesty tomorrow, it is estimated that there will be no time to come out for several days, but it doesn't matter, I said just now, the days are still long, and I will always find opportunities in the future. ”

"Run if you win?" Elvis said with great dissatisfaction, "This is a loss of identity as a merchant of the Vera Kingdom. ”

"Actually, I don't want to, but who is going to let us have business tomorrow morning?" Babu shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "I'm going to meet His Majesty the City Lord tomorrow, so I can't be unprepared." I just heard that he was interested in the mutants in a ruin outside the city to the west......"

Halfway through speaking, Babu seemed to suddenly become alert, immediately closed his mouth, and saw that the four people opposite him were not of any different colors, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly: "Anyway, there is something serious tomorrow, let's stop here tonight, if a few people are still interested in continuing to play a few more games in a few days, they can go directly to the inn to inform me, as long as we have time, we can accompany us at any time." ”

As he spoke, Babu stood up, grabbed a large handful of chips on the table and stuffed them into Monica's bag, and stuffed the chips given by His Royal Highness just now into the hands of the female dealer, leaving only a few winning chips in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's just right, don't worry about the lack of liquidity, you can stay for a while, thank you." ”

As he spoke, ignoring the few people with blue faces and cold eyes, Babu waved his hand to His Royal Highness: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your hospitality, then we will go back first." ”

"A few guests have come from afar, so I'll send a few." The Second Highness got up with a strange expression and sent him off, until he was about to reach the door, before he whispered, "It seems that the little beast has already told you about her mission this time." ”

Babu and Monica smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

"You inadvertently helped the boss's subordinates complete the task for him, since the third child told you the task, it seems that you also plan to help her complete her share, so ......" The second highness suddenly laughed and said, "I understand, you came to me this time, in fact, to show that you haven't stood in line yet, so you plan to complete my share, so it will be treated fairly, right." It's a pity that you're late, or rather, my task is already done without any hands. ”

"Oh?"

The Second Highness approached Babu and Monica, lowered his voice and said, "I suddenly feel that it is also a very exciting thing to tell you, so I won't hide it from you, maybe there will be an unexpected gain, hehe, what do you think my mission is?" My mission is to wipe out the boss's troops. ”
