Chapter 551: David is a gambling saint
When Sophia and Cheng Leer were chatting, David looked at Cheng Xiaoxi next to her with an embarrassed expression, she had been embarrassed since listening to the live broadcast.
If she just didn't dare to look at David, it wouldn't be a big deal, but she still revealed some curiosity from time to time, and David immediately understood: "Sophia told you about our situation?" ”
"Well, I told you everything." Because there is a topic to say, the awkward atmosphere is greatly alleviated: "You guys really ...... Coming from another world? ”
"If you don't understand it, it's okay if we're from another planet."
"Aliens?"
"yes, isn't that easier to understand?" Otherworldly people or something are too magical, and aliens are much more intuitive.
"Like Superman?"
"Almost."
After Cheng Xiaoxi asked a few questions, he began to be a little interested in Winterfell in the mouths of David and Sophia, so he asked David if he could travel to Winterfell?
"Of course you can, but it will take a while."
"It's okay, I'll have to go to work when I go back this time anyway." Cheng Xiaoxi's work is not as free as David and Cheng Leer, she used up all the vacation she had accumulated in one go this time, and she changed shifts with her colleagues to go to sea for so long.
The atmosphere gradually became normal, and at this time, Sophia and Cheng Leer also came out.
Cheng Leer learned some private things from Sophia, and also ate a golden apple, although she was still entangled in some things, but the spirit of the whole person was much better than when she was blocked with various problems in her heart in the morning.
The state of several people seems to have returned to the way they were when they first got on the ship, and everyone can enjoy this sea trip again.
"We're here to play, don't stay in the room all the time and talk." Sophia grabbed Cheng Leer, who wanted to sit down, and suggested that everyone go play.
Cheng Leer thinks this is indeed the truth, isn't boarding the Nirvana Maru cruise ship just to eat, drink and have fun? Why do you always stay in your room?
She wasn't injured and couldn't move.
"Sophia is right, let's go to the theater to see a show!"
"What's going on today?"
"I'll look at the program."
Each room has a schedule of theater performances, and after Cheng Leer looked at the schedule, she found that it was just time to rest.
"Then let's go to the casino for a while, then have dinner, and finally go to the show."
The casino was always open, even at night, and when Sophia said this, he remembered the charity poker tournament that Long Jiu had mentioned.
"By the way, Le'er, do you know what's going on with that charity poker tournament on the ship?"
"Isn't it clear that Davy wants to participate?"
"Let's see."
In fact, before arriving in Xiangjiang, Nirvana specially promoted this competition.
According to the saying, all the chips in this tournament will be used for charity in the end, which means that even the final winner will not win a dime, at most he can receive a certificate of appreciation or something.
It wasn't until a few people came to the casino and learned more details from the staff that they learned that this charity poker tournament was not for anyone to participate in, and the minimum entry conditions were $3 million, or 25 million Hong Kong dollars.
If you don't have enough chips, you won't have a chance to get on the table.
However, in addition to the final battle, there are also some 'qualifiers', and if you can stand out from the qualifiers, you can also be invited to the stage of the final battle.
"Qualifiers?"
"The final match is played before arriving in Japan, and as for the side matches, it is always held before the final match." When the staff introduced, they also pointed out the area where the crowd gathers the most.
There are several tables there, and all of them are studs.
David saw a lot of people there before, and thought that this kind of play was more popular, but it turned out that there was a side tournament for the Charity Poker Tournament!
"How do you count as a breakout?"
"It's easy, win $3 million or be the last winner." When David asked, a handsome man with a ponytail but a little evil suddenly walked over: "Hello, I am the organizer of this competition, my name is Haishan." ”
"Nice to meet you, I'm David." shook hands with the other party, David pretended not to know the other party's true identity, and behaved very indifferently: "Are there any restrictions on participating in the qualifiers?" ”
"You need to exchange dollars for chips."
The need to use US dollars does not mean that you have to carry US dollars with you, after all, the round-trip route of this ship is Japan and Xiangjiang, so you can exchange chips with Hong Kong dollars and Japanese yen, but you can convert them into US dollars according to the exchange rate.
"If you win three million, you can sign up for a charity poker tournament, or when the deadline comes, you'll be the only winner." In addition to the US dollar chips, there is no limit to the number of entries in the qualifiers.
You can go up and play for a dollar, so no one is sure if anyone can win three million here, and this second condition is for this situation.
"Understood."
"Good luck." Haishan behaved very politely and politely: "If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time, and I am usually here." ”
David nodded, thanked Haishan, and watched the man walk up to another well-dressed man to chat, and couldn't help but secretly sigh, "Cutting leeks is not an easy job!" ’。
David, who has watched the gambler, of course knows that this Haishan is the villain in the plot, the godson of the gambling demon Chen Jincheng.
It was this guy who pretended to be a gambler to engage in charity gambling boats, and that Michael Chen Xiaodao, as well as the brothers and sisters Long Wu and Long Jiu, came for this guy.
David thought that this guy would hide in the shadows and secretly make trouble, but he didn't expect to be wandering around in the light.
After thinking about it, I realized that now the ship had left the port and went to sea. In this case, with the communication technology of this era, even if Chen Xiaodao jumped out and said that Haishan was a fake gambler, it would be difficult to prove to so many people on the ship that he was telling the truth.
"In the end, you have to compete at the table!"
If you are so good at such a level, you will naturally not be a gambler, even if it is a genuine gambler like Chen Xiaodao, if you lose, you will not have the face to continue to use this name.
The winner kills the winner, and sometimes the solution is as simple and crude as it gets.
"Who's that guy?"
"The villain."
"Oh!"
Sophia understood, but Cheng Leer and Cheng Xiaoxi were confused, not understanding what information was revealed in the conversation between the two.
Cheng Xiaoxi hasn't done much yet, Cheng Leer feels that she still knows too little about David, and it seems that she will have to walk around with Sophia often for the next period of time.
After chatting about such private things, Cheng Leer felt that there was nothing to talk about with Sophia, and there were some things that she hadn't talked about with her good friend Cheng Xiaoxi.
Following David to the poker tournament area, David sat down at a random table and exchanged $1,000 in chips
He is not as poor as Chen Xiaodao and has to borrow money from Haishan, and he does not carry as much as three million US dollars, but it is still very easy to exchange only one thousand US dollars.
The women who were with him didn't care, just thought David was improvising to have a good time.
"David, it occurred to me that there was something wrong with this game!"
"What's the problem?"
"If someone keeps changing chips, can't they stay until the end?"
"There's a deadline for chips on the last day, right?" David didn't care about this kind of thing, and kept changing chips, even if he stayed until the end, what could he do?
There are too few chips, and the table for the finals is at most a fun.
If you have a lot of money, you can just take $3 million to compete, so why waste time and energy on the outfield?
"Oh." Sophia also figured out the key at this time, but she didn't care about this kind of thing at all, and watched David play cards with great interest.
Stud is a game that I have seen countless times in the movie, but David doesn't actually play it much, and he still plays it casually on the Internet.
I have hardly touched it in the real world, and it feels very fresh.
In addition, David's biggest feeling is that his luck is not very good.
Soon lost half of the chips, considered whether to continue the effort, and when he went straight to dinner, a familiar face sat down next to him.
"What a coincidence, I met again."
"yes, what a coincidence." David glanced at Chen Xiaodao, who claimed to be Michael, and then at Long Jiu, who was following behind him.
Long Wu was not here, probably busy investigating the situation on the ship: for example, how many subordinates did that Haishan bring? And how many weapons? After figuring out the enemy's situation, it is time to carry out follow-up actions.
Chen Xiaodao didn't need to care so much, he came here to earn the principal to participate in the charity poker tournament - no matter what, it would definitely be inevitable to have a showdown at the table, Chen Xiaodao understood this, so he stayed in the casino for the past two days.
After accumulating some capital, Chen Xiaodao decided to come to the table of the qualifiers to harvest a circle, after all, the chips outside are all Hong Kong dollars, and here the bet is in US dollars.
When he has almost harvested all the chips here, he will continue to play outside.
Three million dollars only, and he'll be able to scrape it all in a hurry.
With absolute confidence, Chen Xiaodao began his own performance.
Originally, it was lively to see it up close, and David thought it was pretty good, but Chen Xiaodao suddenly said: "It seems that your luck is not very good!" Why don't you change these ladies behind you to play, maybe they will be transferred? ”
“……”
What does this mean? The person who dug up the foot of the wall and teased me in front of me?
In normal times, David might have laughed it off, but after sitting down today, he kept losing, and it was inevitable that he would be a little upset.
Isn't it just playing poker? If I'm unlucky, I won't use any other tricks?
"I feel like luck has come back."
After looking at his hole cards and 'seeing' through the remaining cards on the table, David picked up the hole cards he was holding and gently 'rubbed' his hands.
From now on, David is a gambling saint!
