A faint smile played at the corners of Zhang Cheng's lips.
He casually tossed a wad of cash onto the table, then took out cigarettes and matches and gently pressed them onto the wad of cash.
He glanced around, his gaze calm as still water, and asked indifferently, "Who deals the cards?"
Bald Ouyang Tian chuckled, his eyes sweeping over Zhang Cheng's overly youthful face: "You're the guest, so naturally you should come."
He thought to himself, "This kid barged in all by himself and dared to play all-in with us local bullies. If he doesn't have something fishy going on behind his back, I'll change my mind."
Perfect, let him deal the cards first and see what cheating tricks this young man is hiding.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Zhang Cheng smiled, picked up the greasy deck of cards, shuffled it several times with practiced ease, and then neatly placed it back on the table.
Cut the cards.
Zhao Heng reached out and casually cut off more than a dozen sheets from the middle.
There were four people in the card game, including Zhang Cheng, with three others standing behind them, eyeing them menacingly.
Zhang Cheng began dealing the cards.
The first card is face up: the Ace of Spades.
When the card landed in front of him, even Zhang Cheng himself was stunned for a moment.
He really doesn't know any cheating techniques; it was pure luck.
But to others, it means something entirely different.
The smiles of everyone at the card table faded slightly, their eyes like searchlights, fixed on Zhang Cheng's right hand as he dealt the cards, as if trying to discern the structure of the suit from it.
Sun Xiaojin squinted and stared for a long time, but couldn't find any flaws. His heart sank even further.
He chuckled dryly, pushed his face-up 9 of diamonds to the center of the table, and covered it up.
"Young man, you're good. I admit defeat this time, I'm not playing anymore!"
"I won't go!"
"I won't go!"
The other two players also decisively folded.
Zhang Cheng won the initial bet of fifteen yuan.
He shrugged indifferently, gathered the cards, and shuffled them again.
This time, it was Sun Xiaojin's turn to cut the cards.
Zhang Cheng deals the cards.
"Um?"
His own face-up card was none other than the Ace of Hearts.
What incredible luck I've had!
Zhang Cheng blinked, almost bursting out laughing. He looked at everyone, spread his hands, and said, "Gentlemen, why don't you deal the cards? Otherwise, if I get Aces every hand, how are you supposed to play?"
"hehe."
Sun Xiaojin sneered, his eyes filled with malice.
He stared at his face-up King of Diamonds, and secretly lifted a corner of his hole card with his finger.
"Fifty dollars!"
He tossed out five ten-yuan bills as if issuing a challenge.
"I won't go!"
"I won't go!"
Zhao Heng and Ouyang Tian immediately covered their cards, crossed their arms, and looked on with expressions of anticipation.
"All in."
With a gentle push of his right hand, Zhang Cheng moved all the money on the table to the center of the gambling table.
"Depend on!"
Sun Xiaojin almost choked on his breath and started cursing.
You're going all in on just the second card? What kind of game is this?!
If he folds now, he will lose fifty-five dollars.
But if you're with... this kid is really weird!
"I'll deal the cards!"
Sun Xiaojin gritted his teeth, slammed the cards down, and grabbed all the cards on the table as if he wanted to crush them.
Zhang Cheng shrugged, remained silent, and let him do as he pleased.
Cut the cards!
After shuffling the cards, Sun Xiaojin slammed them heavily on the table, raised his hand in a "please" gesture, and his eyes were like knives.
Zhang Cheng grabbed a few at random.
Deal the cards!
Ace of Clubs!
Zhang Cheng himself began to wonder if he was possessed by the God of Gamblers.
"Whoosh—"
At this moment, everyone in the private room turned pale, and the air seemed to freeze.
Ouyang Tian looked Zhang Cheng up and down with a forced smile, his tone neither warm nor cold: "Young brother, you're a true master, hiding your true abilities."
Zhang Cheng spread his hands, seemingly innocent: "One hundred yuan, are you in or not?"
"Young man, it's hot. Take off your coat and let's roll up our sleeves and have some fun!" Zhao Heng's eyes were unfriendly and his words were barbed.
"become."
Zhang Cheng smiled and, without saying a word, simply took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves high, revealing his two strong arms.
His calm and composed demeanor only made Sun Xiaojin and the others feel even more uneasy.
In their view, this is not a matter of innocence at all, but rather an absolute confidence in their cheating skills, a confidence stemming from their seemingly supernatural abilities!
Zhao Heng's revealed card is the King of Spades.
He glanced at the hole card: the King of Clubs.
A pair of Ks!
He counted out a hundred dollars from his pocket, threw it in the center of the table, and said in a deep voice, "I'll call!"
Zhang Cheng had already taken off his coat and rolled up his sleeves. If they still didn't dare to follow, the game would be over, and this fat sheep would fly away.
Sun Xiaojin and Ouyang Tian exchanged a glance and chose to fold.
Sun Xiaojin continued dealing the cards.
Zhang Cheng has a Queen of Clubs.
Zhao Heng has a King of Hearts.
A surge of joy welled up inside Zhao Heng, but he remained outwardly calm. Looking at Zhang Cheng, he said, "Young man, I'll take a 1v1 openly and give you two hundred bucks. That's not much, is it?"
"not much."
Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded, then paid two hundred.
Continue dealing cards.
Zhang Cheng's hand is the Jack of Clubs.
Zhao Heng's hand is the Nine of Hearts.
"Young man, you're big, you can call out to me." Zhao Heng leaned back in his chair, gesturing for him to speak, his posture relaxed.
"one hundred."
"and!"
The last card.
Zhang Cheng's is a plum blossom ten.
Zhao Heng's card is a 9 of plum blossoms.
On the surface, Zhang Cheng has A, Q, J, 10, only missing a K to complete a straight flush. Zhao Heng, on the other hand, has two pairs: K, K, 9, 9.
