Chapter 29: The Sole Winner
Stud is a form of wisdom.
Lu Mingfei is the embodiment of this wisdom at this moment, even more than a dozen studs, each of which is a win, he is a ruthless winning machine at the moment, Gao Mi is good at mathematics, but in the face of this inhuman wisdom, it is useless.
"How did you do that?" Gao Mi asked softly with trembling lips.
"Foolish." Lu Mingfei said.
"You're not cheating, are you?" Gao Mi asked.
"If you're lucky, it's cheating," Lu Mingfei glanced at Gao Mi, "That's probably cheating."
Gao Mi didn't speak.
"I don't know how you've been these days," Lu Mingfei said slowly, "I was thinking about one thing just now, you said that you are good at math, then based on the number of times the two of you have participated in the gambling game, according to the Texas Hold'em winner-takes-all rule, as long as you cooperate well, you should be able to win a lot of chips against the dealer."
"But alas, there's only one winner in Texas Hold'em, and if any of you wins, the rest of you will have to stay here and wait for the next batch of new people to come in." Lu Mingfei's gaze wandered between Gao Mi and Wan Boqian, "But you are all still here."
Lu Mingfei smiled at Gao Mi: "You want to take her with you, right?"
Gao Mi was silent, no one who learned mathematics well was a fool, he already knew that Lu Mingfei saw through his intentions.
The dim incandescent light overhead flickered, making a "sizzle" electric sound, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
"You guessed it." Gao Mi sighed, "I really plan to do so, the more people at the table can win more, and only then can I have a chance to leave, I want to win your qualification to go out."
"I've been planning this way for a long time." Gao Mi said, "As long as a newcomer comes, I will have a chance for Bo Qian to win the chips that go out, and then I also have the confidence to win the chips from the newcomers, and then you guys will come, we will have a chance to win more, and we can take Bo Qian out together."
"What if I don't come all the time?" Old Tang asked.
"Then I'll stay with her all the time." Gao Mi turned his head, glanced at Wan Boqian, and reached out to shake her, "Here, the more loneliness can be exchanged for more chips, the more chips, the greater the chance of going out, and after using up a round of loneliness, you have to go back to the subway and continue to go around in circles endlessly."
"If the two of us hug and talk, we will feel a lot better, and we will get a lot less chips, and if we ignore either of us, or complain or get angry, we will get more chips." Gao Mi looked into Wan Boqian's eyes and smiled softly, "But sometimes I'd rather sacrifice a little chance to leave here...... I don't want to let go of her hand."
Wan Boqian also looked at Gao Mi tenderly and didn't say a word.
This sudden dog food stuffed Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang with nothing to say.
"The reason I dared to plan this way was because I found the dealer's weakness." Gao Mi said seriously.
"The dealer's weakness?" Lu Ming asked at an untimely time.
"The dealer is also good at calculations, but have you noticed? As long as none of us folds, it won't fold." Gao Mi further explained, "I guess that's a rule here."
Lu Mingfei thought about it for a while, and found that Gao Mi seemed to be right, and he had never seen the dealer take the initiative to fold, as long as others kept following, it would die to the end.
"All of us don't have enough money to keep one person out, so we have to win money from the dealer and the others have to accompany the dealer to lose money to the only winner." Gao Mi told his plan, "These are the rules here, we can't all leave."
"So whoever plays the cards well will leave?" Old Tang asked.
"No," Gao Mi whispered, "whoever is lucky will leave."
"Hey! Gao Mi!" Wan Boqian's face suddenly became a little strange.
Gao Mi smiled and looked at Wan Boqian's eyes seriously: "If you can go out, there is still a chance to save me, and you won't die here anyway...... In fact, I've always wanted to do something particularly awesome to prove myself, which is one
I didn't find a chance, you girl picked and searched, not romantic at all, I said that you are too expensive to travel on vacation, send you roses for Christmas, you sell them to florists, take you to eat steak, you have to pack...... I finally had a great opportunity today......
He made the last bet, and he pushed out all his chips in one hand, like a gambling saint: "Shohand!"
In a situation where he was almost certain to lose, he gambled his whole bet!
Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang looked at the two of them affectionately, and there were big teardrops in Wan Boqian's eyes that slid down her cheeks.
Gao Mi wiped away Wan Boqian's tears, got up and patted his clothes: "I know who you are, and I know some of your legends in the academy, I don't know how you did it, but now I believe you must have a way, you must be able to get out, can I ask you to do your best to take Boqian out?" I know it's difficult, but as an S-Rank, you must have a way to do it, right?"
After saying that, Gao Mi turned around and jumped out of the tunnel, returning to the previous station along the way, where there would be a subway waiting for him.
The gambling game has entered a white heat, Lu Mingfei out of care for others, more cautious control of the chips, good luck is still with him, he has won more than 700 "Arctic Ocean" bottle caps in front of him, if he wins a thousand, he can leave, in fact, he can do it a long time ago, but if he squandered his good luck unscrupulously, then Wan Boqian Old Tang will also lose everything.
Lu Mingfei distributed the chips of the gambling game like a god, and he sent them around, sending two hundred bottle caps to Wan Boqian and Lao Tang each.
When it was Old Tang's turn to place a bet, he first looked at Lu Mingfei, then at Wan Boqian, and then spoke: "Obviously, you didn't say what you promised him, you were worried about me, right?"
Lu Mingfei did not speak.
"Don't feel embarrassed." Old Tang said to Lu Mingfei, "His understanding of you is limited to what he has heard, but he believes in you, I have known you for so many years, I will only believe in you more than him."
"It's impossible to make up enough chips for three people to leave if you play like this, but don't bother." Old Don smiled and pushed out more than two hundred bottle caps, "Let me be handsome too, Shohand."
"See you later, then." Lu Mingfei said.
Old Tang waved his hand and walked into the tunnel.
The game continued, and in this game Lu Mingfei had a heart ace and a square piece A, showing four cards, namely the square 9, the king of hearts, the square 8 and the club A.
The three aces are already stable, and Lu Mingfei's chance of winning is almost 100%, but he can't stud, so Wan Boqian will have no chips.
Lu Mingfei rolled out 100 bottle caps, "Follow."
Wan Boqian also launched 100 bottle caps, "follow!"
The dealer's head counted the chips in front of Lu Mingfei and Wan Boqian separately, and after ordering, the nine ugly heads were put back, it adjusted a comfortable sitting position, and then threw the hidden cards in his hand to his feet: "Fall! A bad hand! Don't follow!"
Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart, the dealer took the initiative to fold the cards, all the plans are based on what Gao Mi said before, if the dealer is a machine, like the NPC in the game, not taking the initiative to fold is the program it has set, and now either the game has a bug, or the game has a new mechanism, in short, in any case, the original plan has been lost.
The dealer let out a weird "ho-ho-ho" laugh and popped up more lines: "Oh no, I'm running fast, this puts you one-on-one!" It's really suspenseful, I almost lost my crotch, and this loss of hundreds of bottle caps is considered to relax my muscles and invigorate my blood......
Lu Mingfei understood, it turned out to be not a bug, it was really a game mechanism, the dealer was not stupid enough to take the initiative to fold, this Nibelungen is essentially a game copy, the dealer is a BOSS, not folding is a stage, he won it so many chips, and now it has entered the second stage of the BOSS!
Now Wan Boqian only has more than 200 bottle caps left in his hand, and the dealer has retreated before the danger arrives.
"Don't be stingy with your next come, come again, big deal! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! I went to Macau at the age of three, entered Lisboa at the age of four, gambled at the age of five and became fine, and the scholar at the age of six was not serious
......The dealer shuffled the cards in the air while reading the lines, the playing cards were flying, dazzling, "I want five plus skin double steaming, twenty-four cold dishes, and soy milk, and a turtle egg to stir well, and a drop of ink, is there any?" Hahahaha!"
The first sentence is the line of Stephen Chow's "The Saint of Gambling", and the second sentence is the line of Stephen Chow's "The Gambler", maybe the owner of this maze is really a gambling movie lover, this dealer is like an out-of-control repeater, without any logic, only knowing the rereading lines.
The playing cards were shuffled, the dealer smiled and dealt the cards, the eyes of the nine heads flashed with golden light, and the nine cervical vertebrae twisted like snakes.
Lu Ming is not composed, his face cards are an ace of hearts and a king of hearts, and the four cards turned over are 10 of spades, 10 of hearts, 10 of diamonds and jack of hearts.
It was Wan Boqian's turn to bet, she was very strange in this round, she didn't even look at the hidden cards in her hand, she didn't blink her eyes, and pushed all the chips out.
「Shohand。」
It's so strange that she didn't even look at the hidden cards, so Zi Stud basically announced his exit.
"Leave me alone, junior brother, win this ugly bastard." Wan Boqian glanced at Lu Mingfei, and a slight smile appeared on his thin face, "Senior brother, you have played your cards well, if you didn't care about me, you would have been able to run away a long time ago, right?"
The dealer was in a commotion, its nine heads took turns sweeping in front of the hidden cards in their hands, making a ghost cry of "coo-goo", it seemed to be thinking, this game is too complicated for it, but it is also reluctant to give up, win this game, it can kick Wan Boqian off the table, the game is over, Lu Mingfei can not get enough chips to leave, it will be the final winner.
"Follow!" The dealer has finally made up his mind.
The last card to turn over is the queen of hearts.
The dealer turned over the face cards, a pair of 7s, plus three 10s in the face cards, to make a "full house".
Lu Mingfei turned over his hidden cards and threw them at the table with a blank face: "I won."
The combination of the K and Ace of hearts, plus the 10 of hearts, J and Q in the face cards, is the 10 of hearts, J, Q, K, A, and this beautiful hand has a supreme name in Texas Hold'em, "Royal Flush".
Wan Boqian's hidden cards are poor 3 and 4, which is the most inferior card type in this open-card situation, but there is no trace of frustration on her face, she Shi Shiran stood up, and even had time to comfort Lu Mingfei: "Don't be discouraged, you have done your best, I have already thought about it when the dealer suddenly folds, how can I let him stay here alone?" Now I'm going to find Gao Mi, be careful on your own road, and find a way to save us when you go out!"
After speaking, Wan Boqian turned around and walked into the darkness that seemed to have no end in sight.
Lu Mingfei raised his foot and kicked the dealer: "Everyone is hanging, why don't you hang up?"
The dealer looked at the table, as if unable to accept such a defeat, and let out a furious hoarse voice: "I shouldn't have come here...... You're regretting it too late now...... Is it okay to keep one hand...... No way! Stay, leave your life!"
After saying these lines, the dealer immediately threw himself on the table and turned into a pile of bronzed dust.
The incandescent lights went out, and the place was plunged into darkness.
On the subway platform that was raining heavily, Chu Zihang looked down at the ground, his posture was as tall as ever, and there was a curling steam on his body.
A few minutes later, a subway train stopped in front of Chu Zihang with a splash, and the carriage door opened to greet the passenger like an ordinary subway.
But Chu Zihang didn't move, didn't raise his head, and completely ignored the only means of transportation in front of him.
After a few minutes, the doors of the train creaked shut, as if it were really just a regular subway train, arriving at the station to meet passengers and leaving on time.
The train accelerated, but Chu Zihang suddenly moved, like a ghost shadow, he accelerated and jumped off the platform, followed the butt of the train, ran wildly, and then jumped up and silently stuck to the rear of the train.
This set of operations is smooth, just like the railway guerrillas in the movie, Su Enxi, who looked at the surveillance, gasped: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the hidden ace commissioner of the Kassel Academy, perfect timing calculation and execution."
"A person like him will only wander on the edge of the design, and he will never enter the door that is opened to him, and he must find a way to go through the back door." Jiude Mai also gave a thumbs up, "It's really good, no wonder the princess said that if Chu Zihang goes all out, she may not have an absolute chance of winning, her Sanwu girl is so arrogant, it is definitely more difficult to get a sentence from her mouth than to ask her to do a thousand push-ups."
"What kind of fate will this little white rabbit have?"
"Who knows? After all, even the screenwriter has torn off the script, and I look forward to the little white rabbits being able to put on a good show by themselves, and Lu Mingfei is the real director, starring and screenwriter of this scene!"
"In any case, there will only be one winner......
