Zhou Qiubai walked to another gambling table.
This time we played dice.
Bet the size, simple and crude.
He won again.
One hundred Gold Soul Coin becomes two hundred, two hundred becomes four hundred, and four hundred becomes eight hundred.
Gambling luck seems to be back.
A small group of people gradually gathered around and followed him to place bets.
If he takes the older one, they take the older one; if he takes the younger one, they take the younger one.
In an instant, this gaming table became the busiest place in the entire hall.
The dealer's face became increasingly ugly.
Zhou Qiubai The chips in front of him have piled up into a small mountain.
A rough calculation shows that there are at least two thousand Gold Soul Coin.
"Son, please accept it as soon as you see fit." Someone advised in a low voice.
Zhou Qiubai smiled and said nothing.
He made another bet.
won.
The chips became two thousand five hundred.
Deposit again.
Won again.
Three thousand.
The banker's hands wiping sweat were shaking.
He naturally knew that this young man was listening to dice.
But Wanjin Pavilion is so lively that even a person with the strongest hearing cannot filter out these sounds. In addition, there are some Soul Masters in the gambling house who are responsible for this. It is not easy for this young man to be able to maintain such hearing under such circumstances.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the side. "This young man is very lucky, do you want to play something more exciting?"
Zhou Qiubai turned around and saw a fair-faced and slightly fat middle-aged man standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.
This man gives Zhou Qiubai a friendly feeling. If you don't look carefully, you might really think that he is an ordinary rich man.
But Zhou Qiubai noticed that as soon as this person appeared, the surrounding gamblers subconsciously took half a step back, and even the dealer immediately bowed and saluted. "Second Master."
Second Master.
Wanjin Pavilion's boss.
Zhou Qiubai I had heard of this name before entering the door.
Minister of Revenue's son once made trouble here, and he chopped off an arm and sent him back.
"Second Master, do you have any advice?" Zhou Qiubai asked.
"I dare not give you advice." Second Master walked over with a smile and sat down opposite him, "I just saw that the young master was playing with great interest, and I wanted to invite him to play two games of Pai Gow. Of course, the bet can be larger."
"How old?"
"What you have in front of me here is about three thousand Gold Soul Coin." Second Master pointed at the pile of chips, "Let's bet on these and determine the outcome. If you win, I will pay you double. If you lose, these will be mine. How about that?"
Suddenly there was a sound of breathing around.
A gambling game of six thousand Gold Soul Coin is not common on the first floor of the Wanjin Pavilion.
This is just one game.
Zhou Qiubai looked at Second Master, then glanced at the pile of chips in front of him.
Three thousand Gold Soul Coin, plus the five hundred he originally had left, a total of three thousand five hundred.
This will be his and Yang Guyun's living expenses for the next few months.
If you knew that he had lost all his living expenses, you would probably chase him and beat him all over the street, right?
"Why, Master, you don't dare?" Second Master asked with a smile.
Zhou Qiubai also laughed.
"It's a bet."
"Happy!"
This time it is not a gambling game between the banker and the player, but a direct gambling game between the two.
Second Master shuffles the cards himself, and his techniques are more skillful than those of the previous dealers.
Zhou Qiubai watched quietly, with focused eyes.
"Deal the cards."
The two cards are pushed in front of each other.
Zhou Qiubai Open.
One piece Earth Card, one piece Human Card.
"The local matchmaker..." He secretly calculated in his mind, "Twenty-six o'clock."
This number is not small, but it is not huge either.
All eyes are focused on the hands of Second Master.
Second Master turned over his cards with a smile.
One piece Heaven Card, one piece Goose Card.
"The sky matches the goose." He smiled, "Forty-three o'clock, sir, I accept it."
Forty-three o'clock.
One of the biggest points in Pai Gow.
The surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.
Zhou Qiubai stared at the two cards for a long time.
Then, he sighed.
"I lost."
Three thousand five hundred Gold Soul Coin, just disappeared.
Second Master waved his hand, and a waiter immediately stepped forward and quickly collected the pile of Gold Soul Coin in front of Zhou Qiubai one by one.
"Sir, you are actually pretty lucky." Second Master smiled and comforted, "It's just that my luck is not that good today."
Zhou Qiubai shook his head and understood. "It's not about luck, it's about inferior skills."
He stood up and prepared to leave.
If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to say in your heart.
The gambling house didn't need to make excuses. It was entirely because of his own greed that he wanted to make a comeback, but in the end he lost everything.
Jianghu people can afford to lose, so we are not afraid.
"Sir, wait a moment." Second Master suddenly called him.
Zhou Qiubai turned around with confusion on his face. "Second Master Is there anything else you can do?"
"Meeting is fate." Second Master said with a smile, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, why not go upstairs and have a cup of tea? I'll treat you."
Zhou Qiubai raised his eyebrows.
He didn't think Second Master just wanted to invite him to tea.
But...
"Okay." He nodded, "I happen to be thirsty."
Wanjin Pavilion On the fourth floor, there is an elegant room facing the street by the window.
Looking out through the window, you can just see the busiest street of Heaven Dou City.
Second Master personally made tea for Zhou Qiubai.
The tea is of high quality Cloud Mist shipped from the Star Luo Empire. The tea is clear in color and exudes a light fragrance.
"Please." Second Master pushed a cup of tea in front of Zhou Qiubai.
Zhou Qiubai picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Good tea." He praised.
"Although tea is good, the person who makes the tea is more important." Second Master responded with a smile, "It's like a gambling game. No matter how good the cards are, the people who play the cards are the key."
Zhou Qiubai put down the tea cup gently. "Second Master If you have anything to say, please just say it."
"Refreshing." Second Master also put down the tea cup and stared at him, "Young Master Zhou, I have been observing you for a long time."
"Oh?"
"From the moment you entered the door." Second Master said slowly, "You won the first hand not because of luck, but because of your observation. You quickly judged the distribution of the cards through the dealer's shuffling action. You lost the second hand because the dealer changed his tactics and you didn't adapt. You started winning the third hand again because you had figured out his rules."
Zhou Qiubai's eyes couldn't help but become serious.
This Second Master has really extraordinary eyesight.
"But then you won too smoothly when playing dice." Second Master continued, "Of course, it may have something to do with your Soul Skill, but there are also reasons for me."
Zhou Qiubai was stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
"Because I want to see how greedy you can be." Second Master smiled, "What will a young master who can defeat Soul Emperor look like at the gambling table? Will he give up when he sees good things, or will he be greedy?"
Zhou Qiubai remained silent.
"In the end, you did not disappoint me." Second Master said, "When I win, I still want to win. When I lose, I want to come back. In the end, I bet all my fortune. This is what a real gambler should be like."
"So Second Master didn't drain the last one?" Zhou Qiubai asked curiously.
"Of course not." Second Master replied matter-of-factly, "How can someone who runs a gambling house not have some gambling skills? To be honest, no one who can win money from me has been born yet. Even Confucian Sage won't win my money without Soul Power. It's impossible for you to lose. You lose because your skills are inferior to others, and also because you are greedy."
