Li Yi currently has 112.6 enhancement points, and he can enhance any skill he wants directly.
As expected, with the system around, there were no surprises.
System reply:
[Gambling skills can be enhanced. The host can use 1 enhancement point to enhance the gambling skill to beginner level. 5 enhancement points can be used to enhance the gambling skill to master level. 10 enhancement points can be used to enhance the gambling skill to the level of a gambling master. Enhance now?]
Li Yi was overjoyed and said without hesitation, "Immediately enhance your gambling skills to the level of a gambling king!"
[After deducting 10 host enhancement points, the current available enhancement points are 102.6]
[Gambling skill enhancement in progress... Enhancement complete! Current gambling skill level: Gambling King.]

When Li Yi held the cards, his feeling completely changed.
These cards no longer felt unfamiliar; instead, they felt familiar and comforting, as if they were a part of his being, with every number and every suit under his control.
Zhou Qiang had already won over 100,000 yuan, and the smile on his face never stopped.
Throughout his life, he lost nine out of ten gambles.
But today, facing Li Yi, a wealthy novice, he won every hand, and he felt like he was the king of gambling.
In reality, winning at Texas Hold'em isn't simply about having a higher-ranking hand than your opponent. It's more about testing a player's psychological resilience, observation skills, and judgment of the situation.
You might have a stronger hand than your opponent, but they keep raising the bet. Would you still dare to reveal their hand?
If you don't dare to open it, you've already lost.
What if you look at your opponent's cards and they really have a higher hand than you? You still lose!
Therefore, while Texas Hold'em may seem to have no technical requirements and simple rules, it is actually a combination of luck, skill, psychological qualities, and comprehensive analytical abilities.
Another round ended, and Zhou Qiang won another 10,000 yuan.
“Good son-in-law, your skills are still not good enough. You need to learn from me! Consider the money you’re losing now as tuition fees, understand?” Zhou Qiang said with a smile.
Li Yi: "I understand, Uncle's skills are amazing. I need to pay more tuition fees to learn from him."
Li Yi picked up the cards and shuffled them. He only glanced at them briefly, but he memorized all the cards. He could give Zhou Qiang whatever cards he wanted.
However, Zhou Qiang still thought that the gambling king was a novice.
Li Yi wanted to let him taste the sweetness of victory, to let him keep winning first, and then reap the rewards in the last round!
Ten minutes later, Zhou Qiang won another million.
His face was beaming with joy.
"Son-in-law, why don't you transfer the 1.2 million I won to me first?"
Li Yi: "Let's go for a spin together after we're done fighting."
Zhou Qiang was worried that Li Yi didn't have enough money, so he said, "Let's settle the bill again!"
Li Yi guessed what he was thinking and said, "Uncle, you're not worried that I'll default on the debt or that I don't have the money, are you?"
Zhou Qiang chuckled and said, "A little."
Li Yi: "Don't worry, this amount of money is no problem. If you're still worried, I'll transfer it to Mei'er first."
Zhou Qiang: "Okay, then you can pass it on to Mei'er first."
Li Yi tapped a few times on his phone and transferred 20 million from the Goddess Conquest Fund to Zhou Mei's account.
"Your card ending in 6589 has received a transfer of 20 million yuan."
Zhou Mei's phone rang with a notification that her bank account had received a deposit.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Qiang's doubts vanished instantly, replaced by an even brighter smile.
"Haha, son-in-law, you're so generous! It seems I was overthinking it." Zhou Qiang patted Li Yi on the shoulder, appearing exceptionally affectionate.
For the next dozen or so rounds, Li Yi continued to let Zhou Qiang win money, but the amount won each time was not large. This way, Zhou Qiang would not become suspicious, and he could continue to immerse himself in the pleasure of winning money.
Gradually, Zhou Qiang had won five million.
He got a little carried away and set his sights even higher.
"Good son-in-law, your tuition isn't enough yet. If I win 20 million from you tonight, you'll probably have mastered the essence of Texas Hold'em," Zhou Qiang said.
Li Yi: "Uncle is right. Let's continue!"
Li Yi and Zhou Qiang have been gambling for over forty minutes.
Qin Suyun and Zhou Mei were also watching from the side, from the very beginning until Li Yi had lost five million.
Qin Suyun and Zhou Mei were both unsettled.
If this continues, Li Yi will lose a lot of money to Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Mei: "Brother Li Yi, with your talent, you're definitely no match for him. I'm not coming!"
Qin Suyun chimed in, "That's right, we've already lost five million. Five million! I could never earn that much in my entire life! I'm not gambling with him anymore!"
