Everyone knows that people around the protagonist are generally not ordinary passers-by. But Bai Bei is an exception. As the protagonist's older brother, he is just an out-of-place background c...
Chapter 53: The Prolock (4) He wanted something else more than chips...
"Um... you mean now?"
It was three in the morning. As someone who didn't eat much at night, Shi Yu wondered if it was a bit too late for a midnight snack. "Is the restaurant open 24 hours?"
"Several restaurants upstairs are like this." Fei was still in his pajamas. He looked like he had woken up in the middle of the night and was too lazy to ask the waiter to deliver food. On a whim, he went downstairs directly. He leaned against the wall with his arms folded, drowsily, and was in no mood to admire the sea view outside.
Shi Yu thought he probably didn't mean what he said, so he said hesitantly, "Thank you for your help, but if you want to take us to the restaurant, do you want us to pay for anything?"
The man before him seemed to have just remembered this. He let out a slow "ah," then yawned sleepily. The young man waved his hand perfunctorily, "Then you can bring me some tea and water. If my cup is empty, just refill it."
Shi Yu: "...Okay, okay."
Compared to the payments requested by the previous restaurants, this was a trivial request.
It's getting dark. I see Xu Sandu is quite handsome. I can actually see some kindness in his face. It seems I'm hungry too. After learning that Brother Fei knows him, I feel like my intelligence has been reduced and I'm also playing the game of trust ()
[Don't worry about it, just believe it for now. Anyway, in the first few days, when we are in a weak stage, Sandu and the others should be able to help us a little. However, if the protagonist group's operations department is A-ed later, they probably won't help.]
After dealing with those monsters for most of the night, Shi Yu now felt hungry and sleepy. He asked his companion for his opinion, and after feeling that there should be no problem, he followed him upstairs.
As he said, the exclusive restaurant that only serves black card holders is open all day. The decoration here is extremely luxurious, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, allowing passengers to enjoy the sea view while dining, and soothing piano sounds float in the room.
After ordering, Fei handed the menu to Shi Yu, supporting his chin with his hand to prevent himself from falling asleep.
When he returned, it was almost four in the morning and most of the monsters had disappeared. Fei changed his disguise, and ten hours later, he went to the indoor casino on the eighth floor in his original player appearance.
The place was bustling with people. The casino that the Prok had spent a huge amount of money to build was quite luxurious. The red carpet, crystal chandeliers and various highly saturated elements piled together made people feel like they were in a dream and they could not tell what was real or fake. All they could hear was the sound of people encouraging them to continue betting.
There was no clock or window in the room, and the concept of time became vague and distant. The aroma that fueled emotions mixed with the slightly sultry air. Fei stood in front of the counter for exchanging chips.
There is no need to exchange cash for chips in the casino. The staff will evaluate the exchange conditions voluntarily offered by the gamblers and then give out chips of equal value. The powerful and wealthy can get an initial chip of 500,000 by just showing this black card.
Inside the coding room, the staff member's smile froze on his face when he saw who the visitor was. He seemed to still remember this player. After all, before Fei, the casino had never had a customer who had only won for five consecutive days without a single loss.
No matter how many covert means he used, Fei still sat firmly in the position of winner, and the real-time settlement data of the scoreboard continued to rise.
"Take out all the chips, please." Fei was polite and courteous, but the smile the staff behind the counter put on was extremely forced. He continued, "Just send them directly to the table where Sellick is the banker."
Fei had a clear goal. After entering, he walked straight to the most eye-catching table in the center. The gambler who had lost everything was forcibly dragged off the long table. The dealer quickly collected the lost chips and pushed new chips onto the table.
The handsome and elegant casino owner was wearing a white shirt, a dark grey vest that outlined his perfect body proportions, and a black formal jacket casually draped over his shoulders. His eyes were calm and composed, and compared to the excitement of others, he seemed particularly at ease.
The silver brooch sparkled in the light of the chandelier.
The owner of the casino with a western face and black hair raised his eyelids, as if he was just casually glancing at the gambler who was about to lose this round, but his hand that was playing with the chips completely stopped moving.
Seric stared at the newly seated couple. His emerald eyes always reminded people of the deep forest lake at night, surrounded by the sense of danger of cold-blooded snakes waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"What do you want to play?" The man spoke in a noble and unique British accent, slowing down his pace. The English he spoke was automatically converted into simultaneous Chinese through the system's thoughtful translation.
A once-famous gambler named Serrik finally perked up some interest. He flipped the yellow chips between his fingers, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Are you going to bet all the initial 500,000 chips?"
Fei folded his hands, sitting upright yet casually, his arms resting loosely on the table. "Let's play San Gong. We'll play sixteen rounds, taking turns being the banker. Of course, if I lose, all the chips will be yours."
Gu San Gong is a classic card game in which cards are dealt randomly and then compared based on the points and card combinations of the cards held. The 52 cards used in the playing cards do not include the jokers. On the surface, it is a game that relies heavily on luck.
Naturally, there are also a lot of shady operations behind the scenes.
In this game, three identical public cards are called "Big Three Publics", which is the largest hand. If both the player and the banker have public cards, then the largest public cards are compared. K is the largest, followed by Q and J. However, public cards are not included in the total number of points.
Three identical number cards are second only to the Big Three, followed by different public cards, and the smallest type of cards is the ordinary point cards, A to 9 correspond to 1 to 9 points respectively, and the points of all the cards are added up and the units digit is taken as the point for comparison.
Serric gestured to the dealer standing nearby and said, "Okay."
A new gambling game began. The randomly chosen dealer in the first round was Sellick, and Fei, as the player, had to place his bet. The dealer beside him leaned over and put all the chips into the betting area.
The dealer shuffled and dealt the cards, starting with the banker, giving each player three cards. After the cards in their hands were distributed, Fei looked down at the cards he had received and spread them all out on the table.
There are six queens on the long table.
There is no winner, and the second round is again three identical community cards.
After several rounds, either the public cards were the same or the total points were similar. It was unclear whether it was the dealer representing the casino who was making the moves, or the passenger who had once given Prok a headache.
Finally, during the sixteenth round, Fei, who had maintained a calm expression, suddenly smiled. He did not immediately reveal the specific pattern of the card, but said slowly: "Serrick, your hand just touched the brooch."
"It was just an accidental bump. If you doubt the fairness of the bet because of this, we can start over." Sellick's expression remained unchanged, without any omissions. "Is it necessary?"
"No thanks." Fei's response was a refusal.
He showed all the cards directly, and three identical public cards K immediately jumped into his eyes. The gamblers watching stretched their necks curiously. After seeing the cards that Fei had drawn, they turned to look at Seric on the other side. They saw the number cards of the same suit.
There is no doubt that Fei won.
Serric remembered that he had drawn three public cards, which was actually the case, but the cards that were actually presented were number cards, which seemed like a blatant mockery.
Fei was mocking. No matter how many tricks the casino had, he could not only return them but also easily win.
"Congratulations, your winning rate remains at a perfect 100%." Selrick was not entirely surprised. He was about to ask the dealer to hand over the corresponding chips to the person on the other side, but Fei stopped him. He wanted something more than chips.
Fei placed his hands on the long table, interweaving his fingers together to block his beautifully contoured lips. He leaned forward slightly, looking more like a negotiator. "I don't need bargaining chips. This is boring, isn't it? Let's exchange something else."
Seric replied readily, "What do you want?"
"I want your position as the owner of the village." Fei stared at him intently, flipping the high-value chips back and forth between his fingers like some flexible performance props. "One round is enough."
What came first was not Serrik's answer, but the comments of those who were watching with great interest.
[Brother Fei is so handsome... So what if you're using tricks? They're just little tricks that can't be put on the table. Our Fei Shen will give you a big surprise in return. The winner will still remain unchanged.]
[Both of them are incredibly handsome, and both are cool, dark-skinned, mixed-race mature men. They're so delicious, so delicious. I feel like staring at each other is sending a clear signal. Regardless, I'll just climb over the wall and have a little fun. I'm definitely going to eat these two faces!]
[Maybe because he was fooled by Brother Fei and didn't win the bet, I think Saigou has become a lot friendlier. The sister who thinks Sandu is kind and I seem to be a little crazy. But Saigou's outfit with the small vest, thin waist and suit jacket is quite handsome, I'm not saying it.]
[Hey! Isn't it obvious that God Fei wants the position of manor owner?! It's obvious that he's going to help our protagonist group with their operations! Brother Fei, you are my only brother ah ah ah ah ah wuwu]
[God Fei, you can scold everyone, you are the living parent of the sequel! What the hell are you, old thief! ! ]
Seric thought for a few seconds and agreed. It was just the owner of the manor for one round. Compared to this, if he didn't agree to him, Fei might cause a bigger trouble.
There was a positive reply from the other side. As Fei expected, Selrick left the field and retreated among the gamblers watching. He did not leave, as he seemed to want to see whether he wanted the position of the owner for those foreign passengers.
Fei propped up his chin and tilted his head lazily. He didn't have to wait too long. The new gambler sat down in front of him. He turned the chips and said, "What do you want to play? Thanks, Captain."
Compared to the surprised Xie Jianshan, who had been watching the bullet screen for a while, he seemed particularly passionate.
[This! Is! What! It's Master Fei! The forum fandom should tremble! Because it's only natural for our Master Fei to go crazy (hiss)]
[OMG, this is a great official setting. I'm stumped. The winner is always calm and composed. Who dares to look at the owner Fei who is ready to kill?! Owner, I am your bargaining chip! Take me away quickly.]
Whether Captain Xie wins or loses is no longer important! Either Fei Ge lets the team go, or Captain Xie loses everything. Hey, we're all family, so let's just have fun :)
