The gamblers immediately scrambled to snatch up the fallen gold coins.
The Life and Death Casino prohibits force, so it’s not allowed to snatch coins, but the rules never restrict that dropped items must be returned.
Most of the time, whoever picked it up kept it.
Only one young girl, after picking up the coin, struggled to squeeze into the crowd.
The girl didn’t look very old, about twelve or thirteen, and she was quite small. It took her a long time to squeeze to the front of the crowd.
Then she looked at the coin in her hand and carefully placed it in front of Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing glanced indifferently at the girl and said nothing.
The gambling table was quickly filled with gamblers.
The staff shuffled two decks of cards and then divided them equally among the gamblers, pushing the shares to the center of the table.
Gamblers could choose which share they wanted.
Some gamblers immediately picked the share they wanted, and the player wearing glasses quickly chose a share as well.
In the end, only two shares were left.
The staff looked at Ruan Qing, who had not yet chosen, and smiled, “Please.”
Ruan Qing was obviously not very interested, lazily taking the deck closer to him.
He hardly even glanced at it.
The gamblers had their cards, and the game quickly began.
Gamblers could look at their own cards and choose one to play.
After choosing a card, they would push it face down in front of them. Once all gamblers had selected their cards, they would reveal them simultaneously.
All the gamblers carefully considered before choosing a card to push forward.
Even the player wearing glasses was no exception.
Only Ruan Qing was different. He glanced at his cards and threw one onto the table, looking uninterested.
After everyone else had chosen their cards, he didn’t look again, lazily picking a card at random and throwing it onto the table.
He was completely different from his previous frenzied state.
If anyone else with an ordinary appearance had this demeanor, they would probably be considered a village loafer.
He was almost putting his legs up on the gambling table.
But when a beauty does anything, it would look good. When Ruan Qing struck this pose, it carried a hint of laziness, giving off a different kind of aesthetic.
It was like a noble, lazy cat, with a sense of disdain for everyone, as if nothing was worth his attention.
As if nothing deserved his attention.
The little girl opened her mouth when she saw this. She wanted to advise the young man in front of her to choose his cards carefully, but in the end, she pressed her lips together and said nothing.
Because once you’re at the gambling table, spectators could not give advice and could not speak.
Nor could they make any gestures or hints.
The staff member frowned upon seeing Ruan Qing’s posture, seemingly very dissatisfied.
He was indeed dissatisfied. Over at table five, gambling was like a dazzling light, so captivating that people couldn’t look away.
But when it came to his table, it was as if he had completely given up.
Did he have some issue with him? Or did he dislike this kind of gameplay?
He was the one who chose this style of play, after all.
Suppressing his displeasure, the staff member selected the cards and placed them on the table.
All the gamblers had chosen their cards and could now reveal them.
While others were hesitating over which cards to choose, Ruan Qing had already taken out his phone and started playing a game.
He didn’t even bother to flip his cards.
He glanced at the little girl standing next to him, with an extremely casual attitude, “Help me flip them over. I’ll split the winnings with you.”
Ruan Qing’s words drew a lot of mocking laughter.
With his attitude of giving up, it would be a miracle if he didn’t lose all his coins.
On the gambling table, he was the only one who threw out a card without even looking at it.
Not only did others not know what card he chose, even he probably didn’t know what card he threw.
It seemed this gambler was just bold, not a competent gambler at all.
Being reckless and being good at gambling were never the same thing, and luck didn’t favor the same person forever.
The onlooking gamblers shook their heads repeatedly, and the gamblers who followed him here also had disappointment in their eyes.
Even the little girl didn’t believe it.
But she still stood on her tiptoes and leaned on the gambling table to help Ruan Qing reveal the card.
It was the Ace of Clubs.
The number represented by Ace was 1, and the order of suits was Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and finally Clubs.
In other words, among cards of the same number, Spades were higher than Hearts, Hearts were higher than Diamonds, and Diamonds were higher than Clubs.
So, the Ace of Clubs was the smallest card.
The gamblers surrounding them burst into laughter, their laughter filled with ridicule.
“Ace of Clubs? Haha, that’s hilarious. I knew luck wouldn’t always favor him.”
“He’s probably going to lose miserably. Little kid, this isn’t child’s play. Go back to playing with your toy gun, hahaha.”
“No wonder he only dared to bet gold coins. He knew he couldn’t win. I thought he looked so cool just now.”
Hearing the surrounding ridicule, the little girl looked at Ruan Qing uneasily, as if she had done something wrong.
However, Ruan Qing didn’t even lift his head, still playing his mobile game with a lazy and indifferent attitude.
It was as if even the mobile game was more interesting than gambling.
The next round of card selection started quickly.
Ruan Qing casually picked a card and tossed it up. No one knew what card he chose from beginning to end.
Although Ruan Qing glanced at the card he picked, the glance lasted less than two seconds before he threw it onto the table.
And he threw it very casually, making it a mess.
It could be said that before the cards were revealed, no one knew what card he chose.
He probably didn’t even know himself.
Standing behind Ruan Qing was meaningless, so others immediately switched to another gambler to watch their cards.
Ruan Qing’s back was left empty.
Only the gamblers who couldn’t stand behind others but still wanted to know the result of this round stood behind him.
The second round was also lost without any surprise.
Even the viewers in the livestream were getting anxious.
[Wife, stop playing the game. Let’s focus on the cards!]
[Yes, wife, there are a lot of gold coins being bet here. If you lose them all, you’ll really have to bet with your body, and I can’t accept that. Your body can only be mine.]
[Wife, can we just take a look at the cards, for my sake? What you’re doing really isn’t working.]
However, Ruan Qing remained extremely nonchalant. Every time he drew a card, he did so casually, without even looking at it before tossing it up.
He won some and lost some, but he had the fewest wins at the entire table.
The mocking voices around him continued; most people had already given up on Ruan Qing.
They even looked down at him with disdain.
Even if you know you wouldn’t win, you should strive to create a miracle. That’s the attitude a proper gambler should have.
Not like this young man who gave up on the game from the start.
And even treated gambling with such a dismissive attitude.
The gamblers standing next to Ruan Qing, watching the game, quietly moved away, seemingly unwilling to associate with him.
But as the game progressed, the mocking voices gradually stopped, and the gamblers’ brows furrowed deeply, their eyes filled with confusion.
Because the young man was winning more and more hands, almost winning every hand towards the end.
Even with just an eight of spades, he could still win a round.
Could it really be luck?
Lmao he made they lose all their powerfully cards first
ReplyDeleteso he had a strategy this whole time. he worried me for a second haha
