Forces of Temptation

Chapter 31: Paper Gold (4)

Views:

Qu Jinsha's smiling face is still kind, and the abacus beads in his heart have been beaten like rain.

Jiang Fangzhe's position and technique are extremely precise.

I am afraid that the vast majority of these carefully designed magnetic cards have been reduced to ordinary poker.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, it would be too deliberate and not decent enough to propose a new card now.

According to the rules of the casino, if a new card that has just been opened is not obviously damaged, it must be used for at least three rounds before it can be replaced.

Watching the almost completely invalid poker be fed into the machine, the mechanical sound of disorderly washing and brushing and brushing could be heard beside my ears.

Qu Jinsha has heard this voice a thousand times.

Listening and listening, his heart calmed down.

Originally, he planned to let Jiang Fang taste the sweetness in the first game.

Now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

Young people are inevitably full of anger, and it is also a good thing to suffer a little loss.

Jiang Fang seemed to have no idea what he was about to face: "Is there a dealer?"

Qu Jinsha didn't dare to underestimate him, but his attitude was still the same casual: "Do you still understand the 'banker'?"

"It's mentioned in the rules of Texas Hold'em, you just taught it."

"This one can be. Take turns sitting in the village."

"A turn?"

"One turn."

"What's the bookmaker's odds?"

"Win or lose is triple."

"Who was the first to sit on the estate?"

"Me first?"

"… good."

During several tug-of-war conversations, Jiang Fang's smile had faded away from the greenness and shyness.

He sat very relaxed and relaxed, with one hand on his knee, his slender fingers like a pianist tapped slowly on his knee along with the symphony flowing in the casino.

"You come first."

Qu Jinsha chuckled in his heart.

He has already seen that this young man has some ability.

Knows the tricks of the casino, understands basic gambling lingo, and is ambitious to make a fortune.

However, even if you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, this is too anxious.

Before he could bear it for an hour and a half, he impatiently showed off his ability, like a little peacock, he was not willing to hide its beautiful tail at all.

After re-arranging the slightly chaotic position, Qu Jinsha's desire to raise the boat up in the river has risen.

What's the fun in taming a dog

Wouldn't it be fun to tie up a proud and arrogant puppy who thinks he was a wolf and rub off his dignity and ideals little by little.

Nan Zhou also saw that Jiang Fang's temperament had changed beyond his words.

Before, his aggression was very light, he was always humble and polite, smiling, giving people the feeling of being approachable.

But now Jiang Fang, sitting there alone, is a mass of frozen fire, looking warm, but inside is proudly indifferent.

This he and that he, the only thing in common is that he is always smiling.

Nan Zhou took a few steps forward and touched Jiang Fang's arm.

Jiang Fang, who had vaguely regained his past state, suddenly moved in his heart and turned his head.

Meeting Nan Zhou's gaze, the muscle lines on his forearm that were tensed unconsciously suddenly relaxed.

Jiang Fang smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nan Zhou lowered his head and asked him in a moderate voice, "What is a banker?"

This problem is called mental retardation in casinos.

Boos sounded from all directions.

But Jiang Fang was not impatient at all, and explained to him in detail: "At the gambling table, the banker is usually the winner of the previous round, called the banker; the other players are called the banker. The banker and the banker who bet big and small can come in turns. ... once for him, once for me, and then again for him."

"Then 'wins and losses are tripled', what does that mean?"

"If the banker wins, the player must lose 3 times his chips; similarly, if the banker loses, he must pay 3 times the chips."

Nan Zhou understood with no expression: "Ah..."

Then he stood by Jiang Fang's side, not intending to leave.

Jiang Fang: "Is there any problem?"

Nan Zhou: "No more. I want to stand here."

Jiang Fang looked at him inquiringly.

Nan Zhou: "... accompany you."

The hustle and bustle of the crowd around, the soft and warm red velvet carpet, the dazzling brilliance of crystal lamps, and the opponents who are ready to attack.

Jiang Fang, who was surrounded by all sides, asked with a smile, "I look lonely, do I need someone to accompany me?"

"I have no idea."

Nan Zhou lowered his gaze and said lightly, "...I just came here to stand."

Jiang Fang's heart throbbed slightly when Nan Zhou's subtle straight ball hit his heart.

He fixed his gaze on Nan Zhou until a boxy hole opened in the center of the card table, and he sent out a stack of cards that had been completely shuffled face down.

The bunny croupier brought a full stack of chips.

10-point chips are yellow, 50-point chips are blue, and 100-point chips are red. They are placed in a pagoda shape.

Li Yinhang was startled when he saw this.

…Didn’t you say you should only bet 100 points

But Jiang Fang at the gambling table had no objection to this.

The bunny girl took out a small copper cane-shaped card hook, lifted the hook, and lined up the thoroughly shuffled cards.

Qu Jinsha's eyes quickly swept across the card.

He didn't see any cards with special textures.

… the magnetic code is not functioning.

Of course, he had already expected such a situation, and it was not too surprising.

He deliberately checked to see if Jiang Fang took the opportunity to mark the card when he took the card just now.

Qu Jinsha boasted that his eyesight was excellent, but after checking around, he found that Jiang Fang's hands and feet were quite clean.

This discovery made him a little disappointed.

According to the rules of Douzhuan Casino, once a "player" is out of thousands and is caught, he will have to pay back 10 times the gambling capital.

Qu Sands loves this wordplay.

The guests are the "players", and he is the "player".

The master cheated, how could it be considered cheating

Just wait for three rounds and then put on a new deck of cards.

At that time, Jiang Fang would not be able to encounter any new cards again.

Jiang Fang quickly designated a card.

Qu Jinsha's mentality was stable, he took a random card at the end, moved it in front of him, and opened it to check.

Caohua 7, a small number, no surprises.

Qu Jinsha asked with a smile, "Are you overweight?"

In front of Jiang Fang, there was a solitary yellow chip coin with a face value of 10 points.

After checking the bottom of the card, his expression was still watertight, and there was no clue.

He replied, "No."

Qu Jinsha smiled even more.

The cards drawn by the opponent must not be very big.

As expected.

Jiang Fang turned over the card and it was 9 of spades.

Pick 2 out of 52, it's just a game of no fun and pure luck.

In the first game, Jiang Fang won without pain.

The crowd of onlookers burst into cheers that were not very enthusiastic, as well as schadenfreude:

"Oh - the boss lost!"

Boss Qu was neither angry nor annoyed, he smiled slightly and put the card back to its original position.

In this game, although Jiang Fang won, it was very morale.

"Oops." Qu Jinsha looked at his three 10-point chip coins being poked into Jiang Fang's chip slot by a copper hook, and put on a full tone of regret, "If Xiaojiang was a little confident just now, it would be good to raise it. Now, it can triple.”

Hearing this, Li Yinhang, who was still immersed in the joy of winning, choked in his heart, and his interest greatly diminished.

Yes, the value of 9 is actually quite large.

If you were just a little more confident, call a bet --gt;gt;

Bundle…

Nan Zhou's voice interrupted her regret: "Why didn't Boss Na Qu add it, because he is not confident enough?"

Qu Jinsha was not annoyed, and played Tai Chi gently: "Haha, people of my age can't fight anymore, and like to seek stability. I didn't expect young people to be cautious and not motivated."

Jiang Fang completely ignored the soft knife in Qu Jinsha's words, put the 9 of spades in his hand into the deck, and once again took the whole deck of cards in his hand.

Because most of the magnetic codes in the card had been destroyed by him, Qu Jinsha didn't bother him, but reminded him, "Xiaojiang, the second round is about to begin."

Jiang Fang glanced over the numbers on the card one by one, and said without raising his head, "I'll take a look."

Qu Jinsha groaned in his heart.

Does he keep cards

But in a short while, Qu Jinsha laughed: "Don't look at it. As long as it enters the shuffler, it will be shuffled again."

"It won't be messy."

While speaking, Jiang Fang raised his eyes from above the fan-shaped card surface.

After the lower half of his face was blocked, Jiang Fang's eyes lost the smile.

He said softly:

"Boss Qu, there are rules for all cards."

"No matter what it looks like, you will see what you should see."

Qu Jinsha laughed.

I didn't expect this beautiful young man to be so good at putting on airs.

It looks like you are planning to do something

But Jiang Fang quickly closed the card, revealing the lower half of his face with a sincere smile again.

This turned the somewhat serious words into a trivial joke.

52 cards, once again fed into the machine.

After a lot of digging, the tabletop slowly opened again, and a deck of cards came out.

This time, it was Jiang Fang's turn to sit in the village.

If he wanted to make a thousand, then he had to seize the opportunity to touch the cards just now.

Qu Jinsha's narrow but sharp eyes quickly swept across the backs of the cards spread out on the card table, trying to find the traces made by Jiang Fang.

Who would have thought, under the search, he had an unexpected harvest.

Magnetic code!

On the 13th card from the left, there is a slight discoloration unique to the magnetic code being recognized!

The difference is as small as levels 70 and 80 in the game of color-blocking.

How small is it

It is so small that even if this cheating card is singled out and placed in front of everyone, telling them that it is a problematic card, it is difficult for ordinary people to identify where the cheating is.

Jiang Fang's fold really failed to destroy all the magnetic codes!

For the first time, the slightly damaged magnetic code was not recognized by the machine.

The second time, the magnetic code successfully passed the magnetic sieve.

Qu Jinsha, who was happy, did not change his expression. After thinking about it, he naturally took out the card that represented victory as before.

Lady Luck is on his side!

Thinking of this, Qu Jinsha calmed down and was not busy unveiling the plaque. He asked Jiang Fang, who was on the opposite side, "Little dealer, have you made your choice yet?"

Jiang Fang folded the chosen card upside down in front of him, and immediately turned sideways, took a red 100-point chip from the chip tray, connected it with the 40-point chip from the previous round, and put it into the chip box together.

Qu Jinsha sneered in his heart.

I won a game by luck, and then I was stimulated by myself, and I was really confident.

Qu Jinsha also added the same chips as him, and said while adding: "Are you still adding more chips?"

"what… "

Jiang Fang learned from Nan Zhou's sudden tone, took another red chip, put it between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, made a chess-like gesture, rubbed it for a moment, and put the chip into the chip box again: "Add more."

Qu Jinsha was not afraid at all, and added the same chips as him, kindly reminded: "Jiang Fang, add a little less, if you lose, you are the dealer and you have to pay three times."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Fang raised his hand to the side of his ear, facing Qu Jinsha with his palm, his fingertips twitched lightly.

- There was actually a red chip between his tail and ring fingers!

He threw the red chip into the grid and repeated, "Up."

Seeing that he was so determined, Qu Jinsha's heart suddenly tightened.

The magnetic code will only help the table identify the biggest cards in the rules from the 52 cards.

Did he also draw 2

And won the suit? Draw the biggest 2 of spades

Qu Jinsha was about to quietly turn over his card to check and confirm, when he saw that Jiang Fang, who had added two yards in a row, turned over his card.

Impressively, it was a 9 of hearts.

Qu Jinsha: "… "

He almost choked on himself.

After a brief period of astonishment, it took a lot of effort for him to control his desire to laugh out loud.

… That's it

But it was the same 9 drawn as last time!

How could Qu Jinsha expect that his casual stimuli would be so useful

Seeing the inevitable victory, his strong sense of play rose again.

Doesn't Jiang Fang like to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger

It's better to pretend to be yourself, and let him taste the taste of being sucked to the point where the bones are crisped.

Forcefully pressing the corner of his raised mouth, Qu Jinsha filled up the chips one by one, like a generous and honest elder, smirking: "I'm really lucky. Then... I'll take a look at mine too."

He opened the victory card in front of him.

Qu Jinsha did not check the cards.

He stared firmly at Jiang Fang's face, wanting to see the stunned gray defeat, the unwilling anger, and the morbid fanaticism eager to come back after the fiasco on the face of this vigorous young man.

-but.

The expression he expected to appear was nothing.

The curvature of the corners of Jiang Fang's mouth did not change in any way, like a precision-trained instrument, everything was stable and just right.

Qu Jinsha's back suddenly froze amid the increasingly gloating cheers around him.

… not right! !

He bowed his head sharply, his throat twitching.

The psychological weightlessness of falling from heaven almost made him let out a "guru" burp.

What caught his eye was the smallest card in the current deck.

Grass flower 3.

how come? !

How could it be like this? !

In Qu Jinsha's dilated pupils, Jiang Fang raised his hand to support his cheek.

Jiang Fang would not say that when he was visiting the place just now, he discovered the secret behind the playing cards uniformly used by the casino.

He would not even mention that he had picked out a straw 3 from the discarded cards that the dealer had taken down and had been scanned and used.

Having been a dealer for four years, Jiang Fang has the habit of keeping casino poker as a souvenir.

And when he was invited to gamble by Qu Jinsha, Jiang Fang had a plan in mind.

When the grass 3 was first used, it was one of the most requested and largest cards in that hand.

In the game rules for betting on the size of poker cards, the grass 3 is always the smallest one.

so-

- "Let's play a simple game."

— "Boss Qu is so lucky, I want to bet on luck with Boss Qu."

— "Just... bet big or small, how about it?"

When he got the card for the second time and counted it to the position of grass flower 3, Jiang Fang tilted his wrist slightly and slipped the card with the magnetic code mark on the back into the sequence easily.

Over and over again, the transformation was made.

Sure enough, Boss Qu only cares about whether he has made a mark, and he doesn't notice the trap he dug out with his cheating hands.

Jiang Fang held his cheeks and smiled, his light-colored pupils were filled with a humble and cold light.

He said, "Boss Qu, there are rules for all cards."

"No matter what it looks like, you will see what you should see."

Saying that, Jiang Fang flicked his fingertips over the three bright red chips hooked by the bunny girl's copper-hooked cane, and asked back with a smile, "Is that right?" :,
