It Had Been a Long Time Since He'd Played Such an Ordinary Game of Chance

Three-Card Poker was, in a sense, a simplified version of Texas Hold'em and an enhanced version of comparing card values. Compared with Dou Dizhu and Upgrade, it allowed more people to participate in a single round and offered greater thrills, making it well suited for entertaining a large gathering.

"Everyone here has a job now, so let's set the ante at twenty yuan. How about capping each round at a hundred?" Zhu Wu suggested bluntly.

If Zhao Jin had been an unnoticed nobody in high school, Zhu Wu had already been the class bully back then. Fighting and skipping class were routine for him, and it was said that quite a few classmates had tasted his fists. Later, one brawl got too out of hand, and he did not even take the college entrance exam before heading straight out to make his way in society.

Back then, because Chen Xuan had good grades, the teachers had always paid special attention to him. The class bully did not dare lay a hand on him, so they had managed to coexist peacefully for several years.

By rights, someone like Zhu Wu should have been shunned by everyone, yet judging from the atmosphere at the scene, most of the classmates were chatting and laughing with him. There was no sign that they had ever been bullied by him.

Zhu Wu's image had not changed much from before. Or rather, he looked even fiercer now. He had a close-cropped haircut, a thin old scar across his left brow bone, tattoos covering much of his forearms, and a thick gold chain hanging around his neck. The words "Don't mess with me" were practically written across his face.

"I think that works. It's only fun if there's something at stake," Zhao Jin agreed with a smile.
