Hearing this name suddenly, the man on the opposite side was obviously taken aback. After a few seconds of silence, he realized:
"No."
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows:
"Is it."
Hearing his half-smile, the person on the other end of the phone turned his mind quickly, but still couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and finally had to ask cautiously:
"This...Gambler hasn't been here since he lost to you three years ago. Why...you suddenly remembered him today?"
Even though several years have passed, when this name is mentioned, all those who experienced that night together at that time can't help but tremble in their hearts.
Especially at this time, this sentence came from Lu Huaiyu's mouth.
"It's nothing, I just remembered it suddenly." Lu Huaiyu said casually.
This answer made the other party breathe a sigh of relief, saying:
"Don't worry, Gambler has been blacklisted since that incident three years ago. Once he appears in Paradise again, our people will immediately monitor him and report him as quickly as possible."
Paradise, as the largest underground casino in Liland, welcomes all gamblers, but Gambler is not in their welcome range, and it can even be regarded as the last customer they want to receive.
Because—he can count cards.
At the beginning Gambler entered the game with 10,000 US dollars and only played blackjack. He won all the bets for a whole night, and every time he re-bet all the bonuses of the previous round, he forcibly turned over the original 10,000 principal. It shocked the whole paradise a thousand times.
If not for the last inning...
Gambler is really going to get rich overnight, easily sitting on tens of millions of dollars in assets.
Although he failed in the end, he was still drawn into Paradise's blacklist. Once he entered Paradise's territory, his every move would be paid special attention to.
Paradise has its own set of rules, and Gambler broke the rules, of course he is not welcome.
In fact, when he was able to leave safely and soundly, Paradise had given him enough face.
But Gambler shouldn't have stepped into paradise with any sense of humor.
Lu Huai said "um", and after hanging up the phone, he leaned against the Nakajima platform again, his long legs slightly bent.
The bottle of ice water had been left outside for a while, and cold water droplets had condensed on the body of the bottle, and it slid down silently, leaving a small water stain on the marble table.
Of course it wasn't just a sudden thought.
Last time in Hong Kong City, the opponent was obviously not convinced by the loss.
The early repayment of Gambler that day is the best proof.
Based on what he knew about the other party, he shouldn't just let it go.
He picked up the bottle of water, and the cold liquid flowed down the throat, and the frost almost spread all over his body.
He tilted his head slightly and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gambler will come again, but just don't know - exactly when.
…
In the following three days, all members of LY entered the race track with the other eleven teams for training in accordance with the arrangement of the championship committee.
In the past few days, each team has become familiar with each other a lot.
Of course, many of them already knew each other.
Only LY was here, and obviously received a cold reception.
The best time to train is in the morning, followed by the evening, because conditions such as temperature and light are good.
However LY is always scheduled at noon.
September in Liland is still very hot. It is really a test for drivers to wear driver uniforms and helmets for training at this time.
Yang Tao appealed once, but was rejected in the end.
LY ranks at the bottom of the twelve teams, and the China District has not produced results for too many years. Everyone thinks that they are the same as the representatives of the China District who came to participate in the previous competition. This trip is just "participation". .
In the end, it was Wen Xiao who spoke, saying that since it was arranged in this way, they will practice like this, anyway, it's not like they haven't practiced in this environment before.
The reason why Wen Xiao did this was not because he was afraid of causing trouble, but because he was too lazy.
He has always followed one principle: on the field, as long as you are good enough, the number one that belongs to you will eventually belong to you, and vice versa.
Of course he knew what was going on with these unscrupulous calculations, but he didn't want to care about them.
In fact, after he came to Liland, he didn't even care about the team members.
Every time I train, I just stand outside the track and watch them run with my arms crossed.
After they finish running, he will say a few symbolic words, then lead the team back to the hotel and let them rest.
There will be no small meetings, let alone large meetings.
Three days passed like this, and on the fourth day, everything was still as usual.
Looking at the number of racing cars speeding past on the track, Yang Tao considered for a long time, and finally said:
"Coach Wen, the official competition is about to start tomorrow. Today is their last training session. Do you—do you have anything you want to tell them?"
Wen Xiao seemed a little strange:
"say what?"
Yang Tao took a rare choke, sorted out his thoughts, and said:
"Just... For example, technical guidance, track arrangement, or even just a few words of encouragement?"
Tomorrow is going to be on the field. As the head coach, why isn't he nervous at all
This is the team he brought out.
When Wen Xiao heard this, he snorted and raised his chin over there:
"During the previous training, everything that should be said has been said. There is no need to waste words now, just let them adjust themselves. Anyway, this game is their game. Whether they play well or not, the result is their own responsibility. on."
Yang Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.
As expected, Wen Xiao was still Wen Xiao.
Although ten years have passed, he is still extremely proud and lofty in his bones.
At such a juncture, he can still be so chic.
This kind of heart, really few people can compare.
"What Coach Wen said is true."
He nodded in agreement and did not continue to persuade.
As they were talking here, Shen Li and the others had already completed the race one after another and reached the finish line.
Shen Li walked towards this side with her helmet in her arms, Ji Shu and others followed behind her.
Wen Xiao snapped his fingers:
"Okay, that's the end of today's training. Go back to the hotel now and have a good rest. The competition will officially start at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and everyone will gather at the racing track at nine o'clock. Don't be late!"
Everyone: "..."
The corner of Ji Shu's mouth twitched slightly:
"Coach, tomorrow is the game day, who is so careless and late at such an important time?"
There is no advice, the only advice is - don't be late!
Wen Xiao stared at him coldly.
Ji Shu's back felt cold: "..."
Shen Li calmly added:
"Uncle Wen was late back then, but luckily it didn't affect the game in the end."
Everyone: "..."
As expected of you.
Ji Shu immediately changed the topic with interest:
"Sister Li, after the game tomorrow, let's go out for dinner together?"
After the game is over, of course you have to relax.
What's more, many of them are coming to Liland for the first time, so the opportunity is rare and should not be missed.
Anyway, they have already agreed that no matter what the grades are, they have to go to a good gathering!
The corners of Shen Li's lips curled up:
"Let's talk."
