Escorting Supplies (1)

The same was true in the VIP room. Otsutsuki Kazuhiro and the others still occupied Table No. 1, playing away.

"Young Master Kazuhiro, Table No. 1 has been changed to Blackjack. If you want to play dice, you'll have to go to another table."

"It changed?"

"What's Blackjack?" Otsutsuki Tokugawa asked eagerly.

"I'm not playing. I'm on a hot streak today," Otsutsuki Richie said, squeezing at the air a few times.

"Is this some new casino game? Did Brother Xuan Yi arrange it?"

"Must be. Let's give it a try."

Yafei briefly explained the rules, and the group quickly understood how it worked.

"Closest to twenty-one? That's too easy."

"J, Q, K, and 10 are all worth ten points. An A can be either one or eleven. Go over and you bust. Too simple."

"Come on, deal."

Unhurried, Yafei took out a new deck of cards, removed the two Jokers, and began shuffling.

She dealt the cards in turn and asked whether they wanted another.

"I won! Hahaha!"

"Bust."

"Kazuhiro, what kind of luck is that? An AK on your first hand—Blackjack." Otsutsuki Shi Nan looked at his pitiful fourteen points.

"Again."

The added sense of immersive participation made the Otsutsukis unable to stop. They felt that victory or defeat was in their own hands, that they could win as long as their judgment was accurate enough.

With the privileges granted by Ōtsutsuki Xuan Yi, Li Yu could enter and leave the VIP room whenever he wished. Watching the young masters get carried away, he saw that their attention toward the women beside them had dwindled; they were no longer even holding the elf girls, both hands planted on the table as they nervously awaited the results.

*Play, play. The more you play, the more you lose. Even without cheating,
