Chapter 240: The Sun Nation’s Ambitions!
ng Jiu bet all his chips. “You cutting
off earlier was just to interrupt
from morizing the cards, wasn’t it?”
His ability to rember cards was not a secret.
Ye Lingchen’s timing was flawless, stopping him from seeing the last four cards. Those were the covered cards for both parties. It made it so that it was difficult for him to back away from this turn.
The first three turns, Ye Lingchen and ng Jiu took the initiative to pass as they knew their cards were outmatched by the other party. However, on the fourth round, Ye Lingchen’s shouting of “ng Jiu” caused him to lose focus and he did not manage to rember those cards!
With four aces, such a combination was a rare chance indeed. He couldn’t let go of this chance.
He must take the gamble!
“You made
miss the four cards, but you too have missed those cards!” ng Jiu’s eyes carried a victorious gleam. “I won’t believe that your luck is that good! You’re definitely not having a royal flush!”
With that, he imdiately showed his cards.
The crowd around him gasped simultaneously with a look of surprise on their faces.
“It’s four aces! What luck!”
“The ga is pretty much set unless he gets a royal flush. However, the chances are slim.”
“Two aces upcard and two aces face down! This is just unbelievable.”
Wei Hong laughed as well. “Lu Tianxiong, it seems that the person I hired is the better player. It’s been a pleasure.”
Lu Tianxiong was speechless but instead looked towards Ye Lingchen with an anxious gaze.
He did not even know what the face-down cards were as Ye Lingchen never looked at his cards.
“Our face down cards aren’t even revealed yet.” Ye Lingchen remained calm. “The result is yet to be confird.”
“You think you can get a royal flush?” ng Jiu sneered at Ye Lingchen in arrogance. “I don’t think you even know what your face down cards are. You wanted to throw
off earlier, but you never thought I could end up with four aces!”
“Nevermind, I can’t be bothered to waste my words with you. Next, it’s ti to witness a miracle!” Ye Lingchen laughed, then raised his cards from the table.
The surrounding crowd all stopped breathing, waiting in silence.
Those two face-down cards were the seven and eight of spades!
That...how was that possible?!
ng Jiu’s pupils contracted and stood dumbfounded.
Wei Hong’s eyes popped open as far as he could. His head was ringing, unable to believe what he just saw.
“Five, six, seven, eight, nine. It’s a royal flush!”
“F*ck! How did he manage it?”
Four aces t with a royal flush. This is too much of a coincidence! ng Jiu is really unlucky!”
“I won’t believe that’s just pure dumb luck!”
The surrounding crowd was similarly stunned, too awestruck by that round of display. Furthermore, the weirdest part was, Ye Lingchen had never looked at his cards from the start. How could he be so sure?
“You knew your cards beforehand?” ng Jiu stared at Ye Lingchen in disbelief. “But you were dazed for a mont—”
“morizing cards is just an entry-level skill for expert gamblers. Normally, one would only rember the card from the last shuffle. As for , I can rember the cards from every shuffle and even sequence it!” Ye Lingchen explained to ng Jiu, who was dumbfounded. “Although I had missed the last four cards, I only need to compare it to the previous shuffling sequence to conclude what those four cards are!”
Ye Lingchen’s words sounded simple, but it made everyone take in a deep breath. Such mory power was just terrifying.
“It’s our loss.” ng Jiu and Wei Hong sighed simultaneously, staring at Ye Lingchen, feeling defeated.
Nobody thought that Ye Lingchen, whom they looked down on from the start, would be such a great gambler.
At the sa ti, from another corner ca a similar exclamation!
Over there was a bigger crowd with ceaseless sounds of wondernt.
“Grandmaster Ye, it’s Miyako and the foreigner that Jin Heng hired facing off. Miyako has won!” Lu Tianxiong inford Ye Lingchen in a serious tone.
His face carried a touch of redness and his eyes brimming with excitent.
This gambling competition was more exciting than in any previous year. Furthermore, the pace was extrely quick. Ye Lingchen had disqualified over a dozen people while Miyako had also disqualified a big portion of them. Within just half a day, the placents were pretty much set.
Ye Lingchen had a total chip worth of 35 million. Although it was not much, compared to those disqualified participants, it was a glorious result. That ant that the lands they could bid for would be of decent quality!
“That foreigner lost?” Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched.
“He lost!” Lu Tianxiong’s expression seed gloomy. “Furthermore, I just heard that it’s only us and Miyako that has chips remaining.”
“Everyone else lost?” Ye Lingchen was all the more surprised. This gambling competition is ending faster than he had imagined. “How did Miyako defeat the others?”
“Contractual betting!”
Lu Tianxiong took a deep breath. “She would let her opponent choose their strong suit and compete with them. Regardless of dices or poker, she would take them all on! Furthermore, no matter how much chips her opponents had in hand, she would go all-in!”
That was to say, one would be able to choose his strength to challenge her with, and at the sa ti potentially win big with fewer chips!
For example, if a person who was left with one million but Miyako had 100 million, she would still bet with that person. If that person lost, it was only one million, but if that person won, then that person would gain 100 million!
No wonder everyone still rushed over to bet with her despite her fa. Such bait was just too good to pass.
“She sure is spirited.” Ye Lingchen’s eyes lit up, more from delight than surprise.
‘This girl is such a wonderful person. This saves
so much trouble.’
At first, he thought it would be troubleso to win all this money. He never expected soone to have helped him out with that.
“Miyako’s gambling skill is top-notch and she has a natural affinity for gambling since birth. She loved to challenge various expert gamblers. It’s no surprise that she would do sothing that crazy.” soone analyzed.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Ye Lingchen imdiately headed over.
anwhile, Miyako was in her seat. Her alluring eyes were slightly narrowed with a hint of displeasure in them.
“Chairman Wang, I only agreed to co over as you guaranteed that I would et many gambling experts. However, their gambling skills are just disappointing.”
Wang Yun’s expression turned awkward, smiling apologetically, “Miss Miyako, It’s my oversight that these gambling experts did not et your standards. I’m truly sorry.”
“What a waste of my ti. As per our deal, you must give us the best plot of land to our Sun Nation,” Miyako announced calmly, then continued, “there should be a plot of land that’s within Capital City’s 2nd Ring Road. Turn that land over to us. Don’t worry, we’ll pay you the cost of purchasing that plot of land!”...
