Purple air comes from the east, the morning sun rises, and the calm sea is on Ngau Tau Island, east of Tai O.
"Pfft~"
Du Weiguo suddenly stuck his head out of the sea, sprayed out a long water arrow like a killer whale, and then lay on his back on the sea, breathing heavily.
"Damn, I'm so suffocated. I'm so hung up and paralyzed. I almost died."
"Buzz buzz~" Du Weiguo had just taken a breath when he heard a noise in his ears.
He looked up and saw several Bobcat helicopters hovering at low altitude not far away. It was Lake and the others who were looking for him.
"Plop~"
Without saying a word, Du Weiguo plunged back into the sea with a fierce force, revealing his snow-white hindquarters. He was naked now, but he had no face to show his face.
Life and death are a small matter, but face is a big deal. You are so dignified and don't want to lose face?
Last night, Du Weiguo and the bloody beast died together. The beast was killed by the Kusanagi sword and died on the spot.
However, the blood beast's deadly counterattack was also quite brutal. Its huge fleshy wings, as sharp as an axe, directly cut off Du Weiguo's waist.
Du Weiguo was exhausted at that time, and he was almost exhausted. After being severely injured, he fell into the sea and lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was completely naked and floating on the sea. He woke up from hunger.
When he woke up, it was almost dawn, and he was scared to think about it. If he was discovered by his enemies while losing consciousness last night, hiss~~
However, every loss has its own gain. Du Weiguo's gain from killing the blood beast is also quite large, a full 5 free attribute points, which is the same as the gain from killing Xiang Pan.
When he first woke up, his stomach was churning like a knife. Du Weiguo also lost his temper and continued to upgrade his immortal body again.
However, the reaction was stronger than expected. He only had time to take a few Shashen Pills before he fainted again. When he woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Being promoted to the intermediate level of immortality has completely transformed Du Weiguo:
Character: Du Weiguo
Age: 24 years old
Physique: 35.5
Strength: 28.6
Agility: 30.4
Active skills:
Fighting: Level 4
Shooting: Level 5
Driving: Level 4
Scouting: Level 3
Reasoning: Level 3
Swimming: Level 3
Passive skill:
Elementary Eye of Truth
Intermediate Immortal Body
Primary psychic barrier
Special Skills:
Elementary teleportation
Free skill points: 3 points
The immortal body is on the physical side, so upgrading to the intermediate level will cause Du Weiguo's measurements to skyrocket. He is one step further away from human beings and one step closer to superman.
There is no obvious change in the ability of the intermediate level immortal body compared to the primary level. All non-instantaneous decapitation injuries can be healed by themselves.
Du Weiguo probably understood that as long as his head did not leave his neck, he would not die even if he was hit.
Damn it, the heifer is not giving birth, the cowhide is damaged!
Near noon, Du Weiguo put on the original-color linen suit he bought in Ginza again. Dressed like a dog, he walked into the Tai Ao New Garden Casino in one step.
Tai O is known as the Golden Cave, gambling is legalized, and there are dozens of venues of various sizes.
However, the only legal gambling company with a gambling license is He Xian. All venues have to look at his eyes and follow his lead to completely monopolize the business.
The New Garden Casino is Ho Xian's first one in Tai O, and it is currently the largest casino under his control. It is a flagship store.
"Boss, good afternoon. My name is Tommy Boy. What do you usually like to play? Monopoly, roulette, blackjack, stud, or baccarat?"
As soon as Du Weiguo approached the door, a young man in a white shirt with oily hair and pink face came over.
This guy is the welcome doorman of New Garden, and he is also a Junket Operator. However, he usually sits at the entrance of the casino and waits for customers, so he should be at the bottom of the class.
Du Weiguo glanced at him with a slight smile:
"Tommy boy, can I ask you something?"
During the questioning, Du Weiguo also casually pulled out a hundred-dollar US dollar bill and stuffed it into Tommy Zai's pocket. Seeing that he was so generous, Tommy Zai's eyes suddenly lit up.
He smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows, and his tone was respectful and slightly flattering:
"Thank you, boss. What do you want to ask? I'm not bragging. I know all about the food, drink and entertainment in Tai O.
Where are the most bright lights and where are the prettiest girls, including the golden-haired cat? I am not familiar with them. I guarantee you will have a great time. "
Du Weiguo chuckled: "I just want to ask, has He Xian come back from Hong Kong Island?"
Tommy Tsai looked a little surprised: "Mr. He, do you know our boss?"
Du Weiguo took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette:
"Yes, I know him, Tom. Why don't you inform me and tell Wesley to look for him."
"Uh~" Tommy Zai hesitated and couldn't help but look at Du Weiguo again.
In other words, he was just a low-level doorman and Junket operator. There were mountains and seas between him and He Xian, so he had to be informed at all levels.
If an unknown person is brought in front of the boss and something happens, he can't afford it. It's not a matter of unemployment at all. It's very likely that his life will be in danger.
Jianghu has never been romantic, but bloody.
However, as the old saying goes, you only respect Luo Shan but not others. This is true at all. Du Weiguo was dressed luxuriously today, and his equipment was majestic. He was especially generous with his moves. Tommy Zai believed it at first.
After frowning and thinking for a while, he rolled his eyes, and then Tommy Zai came close to Du Weiguo's ear, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:
"Mr. Wesley, our boss is indeed back, but he doesn't have time to see you now. Ghost King Ye has come over to cause trouble. He is upstairs creating trouble."
"Well, Ghost King Ye?"
Upon hearing this resounding slogan, Du Weiguo immediately raised his eyebrows and became interested:
"What's the matter with ruining the place? Tommy Boy, please explain it to me."
Du Weiguo was very generous and stuffed another hundred-dollar bill to him. Tom suddenly beamed with joy, nodded and bowed:
"Thank you sir, sir, you are so generous. This Ghost King Ye is our boss's mortal enemy~~"
This story is a little long. It is said that Mr. Ho, the gambling king of Tai O, is not actually a native of Tai O, but a native of Hong Kong Island.
He Xian came from a top wealthy family, but by the time it reached his generation, it had already declined.
Later, he was able to obtain a gambling license in Tai O, and then monopolized the gambling industry with a wealth of gold and silver. How could he first belong to the proper Dragon Crossing the River?
At that time, the reason why He Xian was able to defeat the local giants in Macao and win the Portuguese gambling license was that in addition to the support of Huo Xian from Hong Kong Island, he also had a very important partner, Ye Han.
This Ye Han is an out-and-out ruthless man, and he actually exists. He was born as a dealer, and is now nicknamed Ghost King Ye. More than ten years later, everyone in the world respects him as the Gambling Saint.
In 1983, 79-year-old Ye Han fought bloody battles at the Grand Lisboa Casino for three days and three nights, defeating all the masters under He Xian.
In the end, He Xian won a total of 1 billion in cash from the Grand Lisboa Casino. This shocking gambling shocked the world. Almost all gambling movies in later generations were basically inspired by him.
Previously, Ye Han was He Xian's closest partner. Together with Huo Xian's brother-in-law, Mr. Ye, they teamed up to defeat the Da'ao Fu family's Haoxing Company and win the gambling license. The three parties jointly held shares.
Ye Dashao serves as the chairman, and to put it bluntly, he is a flower vase, a freeloader, while He Xian serves as the managing director (CEO), mainly responsible for external affairs and management work.
Ye Han is the general manager of the casino, responsible for the specific operations of the casino, and the most critical role is to control the place.
Later, I don’t know why, but there was bad blood among everyone.
He Xian conspired with Huo Xian and used means to exclude Ye Han. Not only that, they also took the opportunity to swallow up his equity.
In the end, everyone broke up completely. Ye Han left angrily, and the relationship was completely broken.
Ye Han was also a stubborn man and couldn't run a casino, so he found another way and started a horse racing and dog racing business, which was equally successful.
In recent years, Ghost King Ye and He Xian have fought openly and secretly in Tai O numerous times, with each winning and losing. Today, he came over personally to destroy the situation with 10 million in cash.
After listening to these past events, Du Weiguo crushed the cigarette butt and asked with interest:
"Tommy Boy, He Xian's subordinate, who is playing chess with Gui Jianchou now?"
Although He Xian is known as the king of gambling, his reputation as a gambling king is somewhat unfulfilled. He Xian is essentially a shrewd businessman with a long-term vision. He will never gamble personally, let alone any gambling skills.
He Xian's famous saying, only by not gambling can you win!
Tommy's eyebrows were beaming and he was boasting:
"Hey, our current boss in Xinhuayuan is Ruan Kewei. Mr. Ruan is nicknamed the God-Eyed Arhat. He has won every battle and never lost once!"
Du Weiguo was amused by this nickname:
"Good guy, God-Eyed Arhat, that nickname is a bit interesting. Hey, Arhat vs. Ghost King, is this a grand scene of a fight between gods?"
Exhaling the smoke, Du Weiguo asked casually: "Tommy, who is more powerful compared to Mr. Ruan and Ghost King Ye?"
Tommy Boy looked weird when he was asked, looked around furtively, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Sir, I dare not lie to you. I think Ghost King Ye may be more powerful."
The smile on Du Weiguo's face became even stronger: "Oh, why?"
Tommy Boy snorted softly and curled his lips slightly disdainfully:
"It turns out that when Ghost King Ye was in our new garden, no one dared to come and cause trouble. It has been good these past two years.
There are always people coming to play in the restaurant one after another. Every time, the boss spends money to give drinks and gifts to Tai'ao, but Mr. Ruan doesn't take any action at all. "
After taking a breath, Tommy Boy continued:
"Ghost King Ye has also come here twice before. Mr. Ruan claimed to be sick and hid. Today he was blocked and couldn't escape no matter what. Hehe, whether it's a mule or a horse, he always has to come out for a walk. What's going to happen next? Watched the show."
People's hearts have scales, and no one is stupid.
Obviously, even a lowly person like Tommy Tsai could tell that this Arhat with the Eyes of Lao Shizi was probably a silver pewter gun head.
Du Weiguo nodded noncommittally, and Tommy glanced at him:
"By the way, sir, someone has opened a handicap outside the court. The odds between Master Ruan and Ghost King Ye are 3 to 1. Do you want to play a hand?"
Just as Du Weiguo was about to speak, he heard someone shout in surprise:
"Mr. Wesley, why are you here in Tai O?"
Outside the gate, a group of people suddenly turned in. The leader was Zhixiong, the leader of 14K, followed by more than a dozen capable and sturdy horses.
Seeing Du Weiguo suddenly, Zhixiong was surprised and happy. He didn't dare to pretend to be big and ran away quickly. Du Weiguo was also happy. Hey, isn't this the time when you are dozing off? Someone gives you a pillow?
Xinhuayuan Casino is not small, with a total of three floors. At this moment, the third floor is adjacent to the VIP room in the innermost room. On both sides of the gaming table, two people are sitting opposite each other.
The one at the top is a fat man with short hair. His left eye has a strange glass shape and cannot turn. It is a fake pupil.
He is the current casino general manager of New Garden, the master of the town, the arhat with the divine eye, Ruan Kewei.
At this moment, Ruan Kewei looked at the trump card in his hand with sweat on his forehead.
Four cards were shown on the table in front of him, 10 of hearts, J of spades, J of diamonds, and 5 of clubs.
The hole card in his hand is a 5 of diamonds, so his lineup is a jack and a pair of 5s.
Two Pairs, according to the rules of Stud, is not considered a small card.
Opposite Ruan Kewei, sat a slender old man with white beard and hair and a thin appearance, but with a pair of sharp eyes that were fascinating and seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls.
Naturally, it is the famous Ghost King Ye. He was born in 1904. He is now 63 years old and is no longer young.
On the table of Ghost King Ye, the only four open cards were a pair of 4s, an old K, and a 7. As for the last hole card, he had never even looked at it from beginning to end.
Stewed cards are also called blind cards.
At this moment, in the center of the table, there were almost 300,000 colorful chips piled up, all accumulated from the first four cards.
Ghost King Ye had a cigar in his mouth and slowly exhaled the smoke. His tone was light and quite polite:
"Master Ruan, this last card, your 10 of hearts is bigger than my 7, what do you say?"
"Why are you rushing? Are you rushing to reincarnate?"
Ruan Kewei put down his hole cards, calmed down his mind, checked out a few purple chips and threw them out:
"500000."
Ghost King Ye was not angry either. He raised his white eyebrows slightly and his tone was slightly teasing:
"Oh? It's such a big game. Master Ruan has got a good card. Do you want to win back all the losses before?"
Before, Ruan Kewei lost more than he won and lost more than 3 million in total. He gave Ghost King Ye a hard look and said coldly:
"Ghost King Ye, don't talk nonsense, just tell me whether you want to follow or not?"
Ghost King Ye replied with a smile:
"Follow, why don't you follow? Anyway, I'm winning now, so I don't necessarily lose if I bet. I'll just bet that the trump card is 4. Well, old K will do, too."
Immediately, he tapped the chips in front of him again, counted them casually, and pushed them out:
"I'll give you 500,000, um, I'll give you 2.5 million more. As you wish, I'll let you take back everything I won before."
Hiss~
When Ruan Kewei heard this, he secretly took a deep breath, and the cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down, soaking the back of his clothes.
If he followed this hand, the chips on the table would become 6.3 million. Once he lost, he would lose more than 6 million one after another, which would put great pressure on him.
The Ghost King Ye's shuffling skills were so superb that he was almost phantom. With his eyesight, he couldn't even remember one card.
However, Ruan Kewei was not a vegetarian. He immediately came up with a countermeasure and took advantage of the home court advantage to directly change the rules.
I randomly found a dealer, shuffled the cards with his back to them, and broke up, so that no one could remember the cards. It seemed fair, but in fact it was just a rogue act.
Ghost King Ye tapped the ashtray gently with his cigar and said in a joking tone:
"How's it going? Master Ruan, should you follow or go? I'm already big on J, and I only have 4.
If you don't even dare to bet on this card and are as timid as a mouse, how can you secure the top spot in New Garden? "
In fact, the cards are quite clear. First of all, Ruan Kewei's trump card cannot be J. Otherwise, he will definitely win without any hesitation.
Therefore, Ruan Kewei's biggest hole card is nothing more than 10, or 5, which is 2 pairs, while Ghost King Ye's chance of winning is 3 cards of 4, or a pair of K and 4.
Since he is a blind player, his chances of winning are not great. Ghost King Ye is betting on psychology. He can afford to lose, but Ruan Kewei cannot.
If he loses, the worst he can do is play in vain. If he fights again, even if he loses all his chips today, he can still make a comeback another day.
In a word, Ye Han can afford to lose.
But Ruan Kewei can't do it. If he loses millions in one breath, he will never see the sun tomorrow.
It was also impossible not to follow. When this card was passed on, he was scared off by Ghost King Ye's blind card of a pair of 4s. He would never want to gain a foothold in the gambling world again.
Don't think that He Xian, a philanthropist, a good old man, and a dignified Asian gambling king, must also be a decisive person.
The reason why Ghost King Ye became a gambling saint is not only because of his superb gambling skills, but also because he is a well-prepared person who knows how to know himself and the enemy and win every battle.
In order to restrain Ruan Ke's eyesight, Ghost King Ye spent more than half a year practicing the card shuffling technique.
In fact, he couldn't remember all the cards he shuffled, just to force Ruan Kewei to play psychological warfare with him, and from this moment on, he was invincible.
As for making money on the spot, exchanging cards and stealing cards, hey, at their level, it's pure fantasy.
Ruan Kewei turned his head and glanced at He Xian secretly, but He Xian had been watching the battle silently, with no expression on his face, and no wave in his eyes.
"Fall on the street and fight!"
Ruan Kewei bit his back molars fiercely, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes:
"Ghost King Ye, you want to steal the chicken? There is no way, I will follow!"
The god-eyed Arhat worked hard and pushed the chips directly onto the table, then stood up and slammed the hole card 5 on the table:
"I'm Jack, one pair of five, Two Pairs. I don't believe you are so lucky. Let's open the cards."
Ghost King Ye's expression was calm and gentle, and he even gave a thumbs up: "Master Ruan is so courageous!"
"Actually, I also want to know if I still have good luck here in New Garden?"
Ghost King Ye put his slender fingers on the trump card with a joking tone, looked at He Xian with burning eyes, and then opened the trump card without hesitation.
King of Hearts!
"Heh, it seems that I, Mr. Ye, am still lucky in the new garden~"
This one was won purely by luck! God's face is open, there is no moisture at all, and Ghost King Ye is also very excited.
His white eyebrows were raised, his expression was high, he placed the deadly K of Hearts together with the K of Diamonds on the table, and said in a teasing tone:
"One pair each of K and 4. I win. Master Ruan, I accept the offer."
According to the rules of Stud, when both sides are Two Pairs, then whoever has the largest number of pairs wins.
Ruan Kewei sat back on the chair, as mournful as a heir, his eyes were dull, and he looked stupidly at the pair of K's on the table, and muttered to himself absentmindedly:
"Why? Why? Why is he so lucky?"
Ruan Kewei's self-confidence was completely destroyed. In the words of cultivation, his Taoist heart was broken and he was useless from now on.
One of the subordinates behind Ghost King Ye quickly helped him take back the chips and arrange them neatly, while he took a puff of his cigar:
"How is it? Master Ruan, can you continue?"
When he spoke, he didn't even look at Ruan Kewei, who was limp as if his spine had been whipped. Instead, he stared at He Xian coldly, full of provocation.
The God-Eyed Arhat is the most powerful gambling master under He Xian. His confidence was shattered by the Ghost King. He is in a hurry. Who can stand up to him?
He Xian's unwavering eyes were slightly embarrassed. At this moment, the door of the VIP room was suddenly pushed open, and Du Weiguo walked in with a clear voice:
"Xian He, lend me some chips and I'll meet Mr. Ye, the Ghost King." (End of Chapter)
