In the banquet hall of the gambling ship, the God of Gamblers competition was at a critical juncture of the regional finals. Zheng Yubai and Shen Huaiyu were in a big all-in gamble, and the outcome was revealed as Shen Huaiyu's cards were revealed.
"What are you looking at? Get him out of here!" After Shen Huaiyu laughed for a long time, she found that the dealer was still staring at her blankly, and she couldn't help but said angrily.
The dealer coughed and said, "Ms. Shen, you lost."
Shen Huaiyu was stunned and yelled, "Are you blind? He is just Xiao Shunzi, but I am a gourd!"
The dealer pointed at the table impatiently and said, "Please look carefully for yourself."
Shen Huaiyu looked down and was immediately stunned. The bottom card, which was clearly the Ace of Hearts, turned out to be a Jack of Clubs. This time, the deck was just an ordinary three of a kind. Although Zheng Yubai's straight was not big, it was just one level higher than three of a kind.
"How is this possible?" Shen Huaiyu's eyes widened, unable to believe what he saw.
Zheng Yubai scratched his head and said to the dealer, "There should be no problem with this round, right?"
The dealer nodded: "Of course no problem."
"Wait!" Shen Huaiyu yelled, "You are cheating!" She pointed at Zheng Yubai, her hair standing on end with anger, which could be considered "furious".
Zheng Yubai looked at the dealer, who said helplessly, "If Ms. Shen has any objections, you can watch the surveillance video just now. But I want to remind you that if your complaint is not established, you will be punished according to the rules of the International Gambling Association."
The International Gambling Federation is an arbitration organization established by professional gamblers. In order to prevent the frequent occurrence of intentional complaints against opponents during gambling, the Gambling Federation has specially formulated a set of rules for complaints of cheating. If the complaint is established, the cheater will naturally be punished. Not only will all the gambling funds be confiscated, but there will also be a series of additional penalties ranging from fines to amputation of hands. If the investigation proves that it is a false accusation, the false accuser will have to pay compensation equal to the gambling funds, and in serious cases, there is even the possibility of having his fingers chopped off.
Shen Huaiyu certainly knew the rules, but she was sure that Zheng Yubai must be cheating when the Ace of Hearts suddenly turned into a Jack of Clubs. She glared at Zheng Yubai fiercely and said firmly: "I know the rules. If he cheats, I will take his right hand. If he doesn't cheat, I will compensate him with a right hand."
The whole audience was in an uproar. Although other gambling tables were still fighting fiercely, the major incident involving a right hand still attracted the attention of all the audience. Since Shen Huaiyu had filed a complaint, the organizing committee naturally had to take over immediately. The three senior referees retrieved the surveillance video and made their judgment.
Zheng Yubai and Shen Huaiyu came to the surveillance video. Shen Huaiyu looked confident of victory and said to Zheng Yubai fiercely, "You dare to cheat in front of me. If I don't chop off your hand today, you don't know how powerful I am."
Zheng Yubai smiled bitterly: "Watch the video, the answer will be there."
The video was quickly called up, with a 360-degree full-scale monitoring of the entire game. No matter how many times it was slowed down, there was no sign of Zheng Yubai cheating. After watching it twice in a row, Shen Huaiyu's forehead was covered with sweat, and the arrogance just now was completely gone.
"Ms. Shen, do you have anything else to say?" asked a referee.
Shen Huaiyu still refused to admit defeat. She shouted, "I don't accept it. My trump card is clearly an A."
The referee said coldly, "Can the video be faked? You have to accept the loss. What else do you have to say?"
Shen Huaiyu hung his head in dejection, like a defeated chicken, and murmured, "It's obviously A, it's obviously A."
The referee quickly announced the result. Zheng Yubai did not cheat and he won the game, which also meant that he had one foot into the finals.
"Referee, I don't want her right hand..." Zheng Yubai was startled when he saw the referee take out a sharp dagger, and hurriedly stepped forward to say.
The referee said awkwardly: "This is against the rules. Even if you plead for her, the rules of the gambling world cannot be broken."
Shen Huaiyu no longer looked like a "she-wolf". She sat at the gambling table with disheveled hair and a short knife lying on a tray, gleaming with a cold light. The timid audience members dared not to watch. Only Du Bisheng, who was sitting at the card table, was leisurely and even had a smile on his face.
Zheng Yubai returned to his seat, looked at Shen Huaiyu who was bowing his head, and sighed. Du Bisheng whispered, "Boy, you did a good job."
In fact, Zheng Yubai had already started to smile at the beginning of the sixth round. He had calculated that Shen Huaiyu's impatient mind must have loopholes to exploit. Sure enough, Shen Huaiyu did not notice after being deceived by the magic. Under the effect of the magic, he mistakenly thought that the J of Clubs in his hand was the Ace of Hearts, and started a contest with Zheng Yubai. However, Zheng Yubai did not expect Shen Huaiyu to refuse to admit defeat, and ended up in such a situation.
I didn't kill Boren, Boren died for me. Zheng Yubai looked at Shen Huaiyu, feeling a little uncomfortable. Du Bisheng saw his mood and whispered, "The casino is a battlefield, it's either you die or I die, pity will only put yourself in danger. If it's you who wants to chop off your hand now, Shen Huaiyu will definitely not pity you."
Zheng Yubai knew that Du Bisheng was telling the truth, so he could only nod.
Over there, Shen Huaiyu finally made up her mind. She grabbed the short knife and chopped it down fiercely. Blood splattered everywhere, and her right hand fell down with blood as she screamed.
"Wow!" There were screams from the audience. Zheng Yubai looked over and saw Tang Qing covering her eyes, looking very scared. Although Xu Jin was still calm, his face had turned pale.
Shen Huaiyu fainted and was helped down by paramedics to stop the bleeding. Cleaners quickly wiped away the blood, and soon everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
After this great change, the game became very dull. Wang You held on for ten rounds with trepidation, but was defeated by Du Bisheng and Zheng Yubai, and was eliminated.
After that, the doubles match between Zheng Yubai and Du Bisheng became a teaching performance. The two of them fought back and forth but did not really fight. Finally, the time ran out. Zheng Yubai won the first place in the North Zone with a score slightly higher than Du Bisheng. Du Bisheng ranked second. The two of them joined hands to enter the final eight-person final.
"What do you think?" Just as most of the audience's attention was attracted by the eight people who entered the finals, Fang Hongjin and the lazy young man quietly disappeared. As they walked in the corridor of the cabin, Fang Hongjin asked him.
"It's very likely." The lazy young man smiled, "If the opponent is him, it's not surprising that V would fail."
Fang Hongjin said, "Oh," and said, "Do you think highly of him?"
The lazy young man patted his head and said, "I've seen E before, so I can't be wrong. If you insist on making yourself look for trouble, I can tell you responsibly that you are no match for him."
After saying that, lazy E walked away leisurely. Fang Hongjin stopped, looked at E's back coldly, and spat.
The competitions in the four regions have all ended. Except for Zheng Yubai, the eight players who have qualified are basically all top players. The four seeded players Hong Shen, Feng Bazhi, He Meifeng, and Du Bisheng have all qualified, while the other four seats are won by Zheng Yubai, Ye Yi, American gambling king John, and Korean gambling king Jin Yongtian.
The eight people will be divided into two groups, each playing a round of mahjong to determine the two challengers. These two people will play a three-way gambling game with the gambling god Gao Fei, and the final winner will get the title of gambling god.
Zheng Yubai was assigned to the red group, and his opponents were Feng Bazhi, He Meifeng and Ye Yi.
The feud between He Meifeng and Ye Yi has been heatedly discussed, and the family feud between the two has even become more talked about by the audience than who will get the final qualification. The gambling boat also took the opportunity to set up a bet, guessing whether the He family will overwhelm the Ye family in this round of competition, or the Ye family will retaliate against the He family.
"Cousin, that woman today was so scary." On the way back to the guest room, Tang Qing followed Zheng Yubai, still seeming to be in shock.
Zheng Yubai had nothing to say. The cruel scene today certainly made him feel uncomfortable. But there must be something hateful about pitiful people. As the saying goes, "Misfortunes sent by heaven can be avoided, but misfortunes brought by oneself cannot be avoided." Shen Huaiyu's fate was also her own fault.
In life, we often have to face many difficult choices. Even if we are kind-hearted, there are always many things that we cannot have the best of both worlds. Zheng Yubai has been learning boxing since he was young. His father repeatedly warned him that "power cannot bend, poverty cannot move", but he also told him when he was drunk that "strike when it is time to strike". This is also the principle that Zheng Yubai follows in his dealings with others.
Not long after returning to the guest room, Du Bisheng sneaked back. As soon as he entered the room, he smiled and said, "You used your charming smile today very cleverly. I never thought that after so many years of hard practice in gambling, you actually mastered it in just one month. I get angry every time I think about this."
Zheng Yubai scratched his head: "Maybe I really have a talent for gambling."
Du Bisheng glared at him angrily and took out a bottle of red wine from his arms: "Come, let's celebrate. Tomorrow's mahjong game will be full of experts. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort for me to break through. As for your table, the feud with the Ye family is your chance."
Zheng Yubai nodded. He also knew that if he wanted to stand out among the many masters, he had to make good use of the conflict between Meifeng and Ye Yi. Looking at the bright red wine in the bottle, he thought hard about how to defeat the enemy.
Zheng Yubai fell asleep early that night. He would have a fierce battle with a real master tomorrow, and only by conserving his energy could he defeat the enemy.
The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, we came to the newly decorated hall. Two sets of red and blue mahjong tables were arranged in the north and south areas, with hundreds of spectators on each side. The eight people's every move was under the surveillance of the monitors and the audience. It was not easy to cheat in this situation, and it was a test of real talent and knowledge. (To be continued)
