Chapter 420: Infinite Threats, Strange Bet (Part 2)
Jiang Fuyue: "Now that Boss Xu has spoken, it seems unreasonable for me not to join in."
After saying that, he lowered his head and asked Liu Sisi, "Are you still sleepy?"
The latter shook his head in her arms: "I don't think I'm that sleepy anymore."
"Okay, then we'll play with Boss Xu, but...how do we bet?"
Xu Yao: "How do you want to bet?"
"Anything?" She smiled playfully.
"I can bet as long as I have it and I can gamble as long as I know how."
"Okay!" This is what she was waiting for!
The man raised his hand: "Please."
Both parties went to the second floor to avoid being stared at by the surrounding onlookers.
Jiang Fuyue stepped onto the last step, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked down at the entire hall.
The next second he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Liu Sisi: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Fuyue chuckled: "This casino is quite interesting..."
If she saw it correctly, the entire hall presented a feng shui layout of "Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth".
Water represents wealth and is yin.
The Five Ghosts refers to the Lianzhen star among the Nine Stars.
Night Qie Ji taught: The sitting position represents the Mountain Dragon, and the facing position represents the Water Dragon. Each Mountain Dragon and Water Dragon has its own hexagram. Follow the hexagrams according to the principles of pure Yin and pure Yang, and the three-line hexagrams, and incorporate them into the twenty-four mountains. Place the facing position of Lian Zhen on the Mountain Dragon, and direct future water to Ju Men. In a yang house, open doors, windows, and other vents on the Lian Zhen position of the Mountain Dragon, and allow water to flow to Ju Men on the Ju Men position of the Water Dragon. This is the Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth.
Xu Yao saw her staring at the hall, looking thoughtful, and frowned slightly: "Is there any problem?"
"I was thinking, Boss Xu rarely takes action himself, right?"
The man said solemnly, "Not much indeed."
"So I'm quite honored?"
"I was abrupt."
"Is Boss Xu always so polite to everyone?"
“…It depends on the person.”
"So which category do I belong to?"
"...the kind that needs to be polite."
"What kind of impoliteness is that?"
"……arrive."
Both parties had reached the end of the corridor. The waiter pushed open a brown wooden door. In the middle hung a gilded nameplate that read: VIP Lounge No. 1.
Xu Yao: "You two go in first, I'll be there soon."
"We're already at the door. Boss Xu, do you need any more preparations?"
The man's eyelids twitched.
Jiang Fuyue looked at him with a smile: "Could it be that he bathed, burned incense, and bowed again, praying for the blessing of the God of Gamblers?"
In a joking tone, as if teasing.
Xu Yao's eyes were sharp for a moment, but were quickly covered by a smile: "This is a good idea, we can try it next time."
After saying that, he strode away.
Jiang Fuyue calmly withdrew his gaze and began to look around the casino.
There was a flash of doubt in Liu Sisi's eyes, but she didn't ask anything.
The hall is decorated in a very stylish style, with Chinese-style murals painted around the walls. There are also leisure places such as a bar and a tea room on the side.
The most eye-catching thing is the large mahogany table in the middle of the room.
A long circular crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling above, emitting dazzling light at this moment, casting a curling halo on the mahogany table, like a swirling galaxy, with cards and chips piled in the middle.
In the huge hall, apart from Jiang Fuyue and Liu Sisi, there was no gambler. Only a card shuffler stood there with a smile, his posture standard, like a motionless piece of wood.
There is also a bartender standing in the far corner facing the wall. He can only turn around and serve when the gambling game is over.
Xu Yao came back about five minutes later.
Dressed in a black suit, he no longer looked as casual and unrestrained as when he wore a coat. The Xu Yao in front of him exuded an unstoppable aura from head to toe.
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows and looked at him meaningfully.
"It seems that Boss Xu is preparing to try the method I mentioned..."
Bathing and burning incense.
"Why change clothes otherwise?"
The man's expression froze, and he looked at her with a hint of temptation.
Jiang Fuyue didn't respond at all and walked towards the gambling table.
As they passed each other, her shoulder bumped into Xu Yao's arm.
"Sorry." As she spoke, she reached out and patted the man's suit, brushing off the non-existent dust.
Xu Yao was slightly stunned.
It was just a touch, and he didn't show any disgust yet. This person felt that he had gone a bit too far.
"Please—"
Jiang Fuyue took a seat.
Liu Sisi stood behind her obediently, with a bit of a "husband sings and wife follows" attitude.
Xu Yao is the banker.
The man casually placed his hands on the table, his charm uncontrollable. "A guest is a guest. I don't know how to address this distinguished guest."
"My last name is Jiang."
"Mr. Jiang, how do you want to bet?"
"How's Bluff?"
Xu Yao's eyes dimmed slightly: "Are you sure?"
Infinite-bluff, a bluff with infinite intimidation, is very simple to play. Seven decks of playing cards are mixed together, and each player draws cards from them in turn. From the second card onwards, you can choose to increase your chips and follow the cards, or admit defeat and quit.
There are two ways to end a gambling game. The first is that one party thinks that his cards are smaller than the other party's. In order to avoid greater losses, he loses the chips accumulated previously and automatically withdraws.
Another way is that after both sides draw 5 cards, they show their cards and compare the size.
There are hundreds of cards in 7 decks of playing cards, which is a huge number. It is useless to count the cards or calculate the points. The only two useful factors are luck and psychological quality.
After drawing the cards, players can look at their own cards, but not at their opponents'.
If you want the other party to surrender halfway, then the player must pretend that his cards are very big, and exert pressure and intimidate the other party through words, expressions, and actions, so as to break down the other party's psychological defenses and force the other party to withdraw voluntarily.
This is the essence and fun of Bluff.
What players enjoy is the process of "intimidating the other party" and "being intimidated by the other party".
Jiang Fuyue: "Of course."
Xu Yao: "I want to remind you that this is pure luck gambling, there is no skill involved."
Jiang Fuyue: "I think I'm pretty lucky today."
The man looked at her deeply and said, "Okay." You asked for this.
Why compare luck when there are so many other things to compare?
Liu Sisi stood aside, very dissatisfied with the other person's look, as if... they were bound to lose.
Xu Yao: "Are there any special requirements for the bet?"
Usually the bets are chips bought with money, but there are exceptions, such as the "bullet to death" game in roulette.
He was just asking a routine question. It was his occupational hazard, so he would do the whole thing. He really didn't expect the other party to make any special requests.
But in fact—
Jiang Fuyue originally had no idea, but after hearing what the other party said, an idea suddenly struck her: "Why not name and choose your own bet?"
Suddenly, Xu Yao looked at her as if she were a madman. "Mr. Jiang, are you kidding? I only know your last name and the $50 million you have. Other than that, I know nothing about you or your wealth. How can I call you a code?"
Jiang Fuyue waved her hand. "You don't need to know anything about me. I'll offer an equivalent exchange at the same time as the bid. It's up to you, Boss Xu, to decide whether to accept or not. Don't worry, I won't trade rocks for gold. If you still have concerns, you can call in a property appraiser."
Xu Yao looked at her with a more meaningful look: "...Okay."
The excitement of the name-calling self-selected bet is that you can just name what you want from the other party, it can be money or something else, as long as he agrees to follow suit.
Ten minutes later, the property appraiser entered and the gambling officially began!
After the cards were shuffled, Jiang Fuyue and Xu Yao sat opposite each other. Under the light, they could clearly see every subtle expression on each other's faces.
"Mr. Jiang, please go first." The man raised his hand and smiled as if he were bathed in spring breeze.
Jiang Fuyue was not polite either. He drew a card as he was told, took a look at it, and placed it face down on the table without showing any clue on his face.
Xu Yao drew a card right after that, also remaining calm.
"Thirty million US dollars." She called out.
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi took out 30 million chips from the tray and placed them in the middle of the table without blinking.
cough……
She actually wanted to blink more, but she had to keep her composure and not show any weakness.
Xu Yao seemed very relaxed. Thirty million US dollars might seem like a huge sum of money to others, but to him, it was nothing.
"Choose a bet?" he asked.
"Of course, thirty million dollars and helping me teach someone a lesson in City A."
Xu Yao was not surprised. When the other party proposed to choose the bet himself, he had a hunch that this person might have other intentions!
Sure enough, the real purpose was exposed at the first call.
Oh!
The appraiser obviously did not expect that one day "30 million US dollars" and "teaching a man a lesson" would be put together for him to evaluate whether the value was commensurate.
"This..." There's absolutely no comparison.
Jiang Fuyue and Xu Yao looked at him at the same time.
The appraiser broke out in a cold sweat and could only bite the bullet and ask, "Please, may I ask what the 'teaching a lesson' in Xianjia's 'teaching a lesson to someone' means? To what extent? Also, who is this person? What is his identity?"
Jiang Fuyue rolled her eyes and said, "As for teaching him a lesson, just give him a beating. As for the severity... just a bruise will be enough."
Appraiser: “?” What is she talking about?
Xu Yao: “?” Is there anything wrong with my ears?
Second update, 3,000 words.
There are three more updates tonight. Guess who Sister Yue wants Xu Yao to beat up. Hahaha~
In addition, I recommend everyone to read Yu's previous book "Mr. Quan, Please Take Care of Me", in which this intimidation game is also played~
