In the casino on the sixth floor, everyone's faces were red, their ears were red, and their hearts were beating fast.
Everyone gathered in front of the largest screens, watching in horror the bloody battle that took place in an unknown location.
The scene of the gambling game was a bird's-eye view of the gambling table, and it was only the gambling table. They could only know the outcome of both sides, and at most they would see a few pairs of hands appear on the gambling table from time to time.
No one knows who the participants in this bet are. Sitting in the fog covered with black gauze, they can't see clearly.
Even their voices were blocked after the gambling started.
At most, gamblers know that the players are two young people and the banker is an old man.
Scenes flashed across the screen.
Dealing cards, supplementing cards, and showing cards, dollars worth tens of millions of dollars flow from the dealer to the players, which looks like a joke like a virtual game.
But a gambling ship of the size of the YAAL would never make such a joke. The huge winnings and losses really happened somewhere on this ship.
This kind of thing seems so unreal when you think about it.
In the first game, the player wins.
"Then, it's time to collect my spoils." Gu Bei tapped his knuckles on the armrest of the chair and said, "First question, what are you looking for in the North Pole?"
He did not ask Vincent why he came to the North Pole, because Vincent would definitely answer that he was looking for something, and the question would be wasted.
So he chose to ask Vincent directly what he was looking for.
As Vincent was a mature man, he naturally noticed Gu Bei's little thoughts and said without changing his expression: "A door."
"What door?"
"This is the second question."
"Tsk, you can still be so mean?" Gu Bei patted his head, "Are you cheating?"
A trace of slyness appeared on Vincent's old face: "Make clear the question is something that the questioner should consider. I am only responsible for answering."
"Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?" Gu Bei nodded and pressed a blue button on the gaming table.
The game resumes.
He admitted defeat in this game, and this time it was indeed his question.
But he didn't doubt Vincent's answer.
The other party is indeed looking for a door.
This guy is already old enough to be dying, and this secret is not something that needs to be taken to the grave, so there is no need to lie at this time.
Gu Bei didn't smell any lies from this old guy.
The guy is reasonably honest - and that's to his credit.
The machine on the gaming table began to deal cards.
Fingel stood behind Gu Bei and looked at the cards in his hand.
Meanwhile, all the gamblers on the boat were doing the same thing.
On the vast Arctic Ocean, everything was silent, and the brightly lit ships sailed silently, like a castle in the air.
Screams and cheers erupted on the ship, alarming the polar bears taking a nap on the ice floe. The huge beluga also surfaced, spraying dark blue mist into the dark night sky.
In the second game, the same player won.
The gamblers in the gambling hall did not know the special rules between Gu Bei and Vincent. In order to allow the gamblers to intuitively see the victory or defeat of both parties, the LCD screen would display the winnings and losses of both parties in real time.
Of course, this number is fictitious, and all the bonuses Gu Bei won cannot be cashed out and can only be used to exchange for one question.
Correspondingly, as long as he loses one round, his gambling capital will be cleared.
You don't have to be a fool to see that this crazy player is actually playing stud.
"Isn't he afraid of going bankrupt?"
Even the richest Middle Eastern tycoons can't help but think this way, because from their perspective, the funds of both parties are actually growing as the gambling progresses.
As long as the player keeps winning and insists on stud in every round, the chips in this gambling game will change from 10 million to 20 million, 20 million to 40 million, and then 80 million to 100 million. Sixty million, three hundred and twenty million
Ten thousand...and so on.
If gambling funds are accumulated in this way, the final bet amount of both parties will reach tens or tens of billions.
At that point, neither side can afford to lose.
The banker is actually okay. If the banker loses, he can use the YAAL to pay off the debt. But if the player loses... he should probably study the temperature of the seawater in the Arctic Ocean.
But the good thing is, players keep winning.
"Second question." This time with the direction of the question, Gu Bei simply went straight in. "Where is the door you are looking for?"
This question is obviously on point.
Vincent stopped what he was doing and raised his eyelids to look at Gu Bei: "That's... the door to the Kingdom of God."
Kingdom of God.
Gu Bei and Fingel looked at each other.
Finally got some valuable information.
Just as one question was answered, another question emerged: What is the Kingdom of God?
The first thing Gu Bei thought of was the Nibelungen.
There are no so-called gods in this world. The gods that people praise by word of mouth are dragons and the Dragon King.
The kingdom of God is naturally the kingdom controlled by the Dragon King.
Land of the Dead, Nibelungen.
There's no place more qualified than this.
However, Gu Bei did not ask because this was the third question.
The gambling starts again.
The situation in the third game went against the players.
Gamblers in front of the LCD screen can see this.
The dealer's up card is an A, and the player's up card is an embarrassing 3. In this case, the player's chance of winning is less than half of the dealer's.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
In the rules of blackjack, A can be used as 1 or 11. How to use it depends on the card holder. Therefore, getting A is equivalent to entering a situation where you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend.
And 3... can only be said to be useless. The card surface is too small when you get a small card, and it is easy to blow up when you get a big card. It is not suitable up or down.
The gamblers are all tourists on the ship. They are players themselves, and of course they are slightly biased towards players.
They sat in front of the LCD screen and were terrified for the godly young player. A few timid female tourists huddled in the arms of their male companions, their bodies trembling slightly.
I really can’t imagine how the player holding the cards must feel.
What state of mind?
In fact, Gu Bei didn't feel anything special.
For him, it doesn't matter if he loses. He only participates in gambling to follow the rules. If he accidentally loses, he will just flip the table and perform "My rules are the rules."
So he didn't panic at all.
And Vincent didn't panic.
He lost, and the price he paid was just a few pieces of information, which was neither trivial nor trivial. For someone like him who had one foot in the grave, this kind of thing was the most useless.
So in the gambling game, both the banker and the players are very calm.
Vincent even snapped his fingers, and the door of the casino opened, and the group of precious Belarusian girls were let in.
They came forward and surrounded Vincent, beating his back and caressing his chest. A dozen pairs of slender hands roamed around the old man's body, which was like a rotten tree.
Their cherry-red lips were adorned with sparkling picks, and their tortoise-shell eyes flashed like stars.
The most beautiful girl among them took over the job of the robot and took over the job of dealer.
Her makeup looked like that of a goddess in Greek sculpture. She stood in front of a long card box and used a slender piece of wood to deal the cards to Gu Bei and Vincent.
Another girl ran to open a bottle of red wine produced by Chateau Cheval Blanc in 1947, poured three glasses, one for Gu Bei, one for Fingel, and placed the third glass in front of a black box.
Gu Bei saw the black box as soon as he entered the door.
It is placed in a niche dug out in the wall. The top of the niche is curved, like an altar in a church. On the wall of the cave is a copy of Raphael's "Sistine Madonna" with a Two silver candlesticks, with the black box in the middle.
It should be worshiping someone who has been dead for many years.
There is a painting hanging next to the small altar, but it is covered with a piece of black velvet, so there is no way to know what the painting is.
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows, and combined with Vincent's past that the college failed to investigate, he had some guesses in his mind.
The girl started dealing cards again. The card box in her hand contained a total of eight decks of cards. There were 32 cards of each suit. They were thoroughly shuffled and mixed together. It was a random number that no one could remember or figure out, just like fate. .
"Take up cards," Gu Bei said.
"Replenish cards." Vincent also said.
New cards are dealt to the two of them.
Gu Bei's face was frivolous, and Vincent, with an elegant smile, motioned to the girl who was rubbing his shoulders to show him the cards.
It seemed like no one cared about winning or losing in this bet.
But the reality is...
As long as you squat down and look at Vincent from the belly of the gaming table, you can see that his withered right hand seems to be resting dishonestly on the white jade-like carrot of the girl next to him, but in fact he is kneading it fiercely.
The white jade soon became covered with bruises, but the girl did not dare to cry out in pain.
If he hadn't vented his anger like this, it would probably be difficult for Vincent to maintain his current calm performance.
He has lived on this gambling boat for more than ten years!
ten years! He received countless gamblers!
There are many rich people among them. They own hundreds of oil wells in the Persian Gulf. Some are famous for their gambling skills and are able to hang out in major casinos around the world. There are also criminals wanted by Interpol who commit all kinds of crimes.
But Vincent can receive them calmly, no matter he wins or loses, his smile will always be lazy, but today is an exception.
Because his opponent didn't follow his script at all.
His usual routine is to use drunkenness and beautiful girls to interfere with the opponent's judgment and make the opponent lose his cool. This trick is perfect in his hands. Even if the Orthodox Pope comes, he can dazzle the opponent.
But Gu Bei and Fingel were not fooled at all.
Just like the old monks in the temple... No, these two unattractive guys are not old monks at all. Vincent feels that they ran away from some Chinese folk art association, and their cross talk skills are better than what he used to say. The ones I heard in Beijing were much better.
But if that's the case, forget it, but the problem is that he actually lost when facing such an unknown opponent!
And he still lost two games in a row!
Blackjack is Vincent's strong point. Even if the world champion comes, he may not be able to beat him. Vincent relies on this ability to defeat many challengers.
But when facing Gu Bei, who looked like a newcomer to the casino at first glance, he actually lost two games in a row!
This cannot be said to be incredible, it can only be said to be a fantasy!
One thing that no one may believe is that Vincent can control the winning and losing of gambling to a certain extent.
This thing sounds impossible, because as long as it is gambling, winning or losing is a matter of probability. Even the world champion cannot say that he will definitely win in a certain round. He can only say that the probability of winning is increased through precise calculations.
But Vincent does.
For so many years, he had maintained the expenses of this huge ship with the money he won from gambling.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The reason is actually because of his super memory.
He can remember cards!
Blackjack is a game that uses four to eight decks of cards.
Under normal circumstances, half of the blackjack cards are dealt, and then all the remaining cards are discarded. This is to prevent some gamblers with particularly good memories from remembering the cards.
After all, it is calculated according to probability
, if a person can clearly remember how many A's and K's have been played on the table, and supplemented by powerful calculations, the chance of winning can be greatly improved.
Ordinary people can memorize almost two decks of cards if they try hard enough.
Professional gamblers can memorize four decks.
Mathematicians with an innate sensitivity to numbers can memorize six pairs.
And Vincent...he can remember all eight.
This gaming table uses eight decks of cards!
In other words, Vincent can basically control all the outcomes at this gambling table.
With the new cards in hand, Vincent completely relaxed.
He got the card he remembered, and the cards added up to exactly 21 points.
He looked at Gu Bei, his eyes filled with pride.
But Gu Bei raised his eyebrows: "Take up the cards."
He drew a fourth card.
This is a rare situation in blackjack. The total of four cards has not been exploded, and the average point of each card cannot be greater than 6 points...
Vincent suddenly became alert.
He found that he had forgotten one thing. Indeed...there was indeed such a special rule!
To a gambler, forgetting a special rule is like a mathematician missing a parameter in an equation, and the result will be wildly different!
"Take up cards." Gu Bei said this word again.
The fifth card!
Vincent felt as if these five cards turned into five thunders, giving him a five-thunder strike.
Sure enough...it is indeed this special rule!
At the last moment, that seemingly weak rule reversed the situation!
Gu Bei reached out and turned over all five cards, two threes and three twos, adding up to a measly 12 points.
This is the so-called "five stars".
In British blackjack, the card that has not been exploded until the fifth card is filled constitutes the weakest and strongest card - "five stars".
Only the weakest cards can be put together to make five stars.
But the weak five-star can beat Vincent's hand of 21 points!
If the YAAL gambling boat uses American blackjack, then this rule is equivalent to fart, because American blackjack does not recognize the existence of this rule.
But YAAL is sailing from Europe, and it follows British rules!
Vincent turned over his blackjack with trembling hands, and then slumped down on the chair as if his bones had been removed.
The girls around looked at Gu Bei and the two with unkind eyes, as if they would take out guns from under their skirts and aim at the two of them as long as Vincent gave the order. In fact, they were indeed able to do this. I knew from the beginning that they were carrying guns under their skirts.
Of course, Gu Bei didn't peek, he just guessed it based on the girls' walking posture.
The situation at the scene was on the verge of breaking out, but at this moment, Vincent just asked in a trembling voice: "Can you... also remember?"
Gu Bei shrugged, noncommittal.
