After watching the police car drive away with the two, ng Ke spoke with the troubled Lin Chen Xi for a while.
He knew that Lin Chen Xi didnt fall in love at first sight for him, it was simply a love that ca from her muddled brain, which was overloaded with hormones.
After she had left, ng Ke returned to the milk tea shop, buying another cup.
Endocrines greatly affected emotions, but they could also help ng Ke control his.
However, what ng Ke wanted wasnt to control his emotions by suppressing his hormones.
If he could hypnotise his own body, why would he bother with training himself to death every day?
Body training was just a way to reconstruct his muscles, and to the average human, it was not only ti-consuming but also fucking tiring.
ng Ke understood that overloading in testosterone would lead to protein synthesis, which supported bone growth and strengthened ones immunity.
In the bodybuilding world, the importance of testosterone was unparalleled. The more testosterone you had, the higher the quality and quality of your muscles, and vice versa.
There once was soone who thought that if soones testosterone production could be maxed, that person would not need to train at all to reach the limit of a human bodys potential.
As such, testosterone was basically described as the human bodys enhancer.
ng Kes thinking was similar, if he could hypnotise his own body, and create large amounts of testosterone.
He had already tested it twice today on other people, and his control over hormones had already gotten so training.
And he did as he thought, he wasnt worried as an ability user.
Using his spiritual power, he observed the part that was responsible for producing testosterone. After confirming it multiple tis, ng Ke started to use his ability.
In that second, ng Ke felt a rush of warmth flow through his body from the bottom with his spiritual power. After it had flowed through his entire body, the warmth continued to accumulate.
Shit!
He instantly realised that testosterone needed to be absorbed by the body before it could beco muscles. And at this mont, his situation was that he had too much for his body to absorb!
ng Ke slowly lowered the testosterone in his body as he allowed it to absorb the accumulated testosterone.
After a while, he finally found a balance. As the testosterone flowed through his body, every single cell absorbed it perfectly. By the ti every single cell was full, the testosterone had flowed through his entire body.
Gu gu gu
After two hours, a deep sound ca from his stomach, ng Ke could feel his hunger growing.
Nothing appears from thin air, the process of strengthening my body is because its absorbing nutrients rapidly. If I want to continue this process, Ill need to eat every hour!
ng Ke had no choice but to take out his phone and search for the nearest buffet restaurant. The web novel had already ntioned this simple thod, and as a poor man, ng Ke could only apologise to the buffet restaurant.
Buffets were cheap, and extrely filling despite their poor taste. ng Ke needed to fuel his bodys growth through food, so the taste wasnt an issue.
But he couldnt go to buffets every day, it was not only money-consuming but also inconvenient. As he thought, ng Ke bought large amounts of nutritional supplents from Tao Bao. (Think of eBay.)
Looking at the 3-digit savings he had, ng Ke felt a bit sad.
He had been going on a shopping spree for a while now, and he hadnt earned a cent. Spending without earning was draining his funds quickly.
How did I not think of using my ability to earn money, ng Ke thought as he mocked himself.
If anyone else had gotten this ability, the first thing they wouldve thought of would be to earn money!
After leaving the buffet restaurant, ng Ke suddenly thought of a place and imdiately called a cab.
Red Leaf Hotel.
These hotels were not law-abiding at all, and that was exactly what ng Ke was looking for.
On the surface, this was a small three-story building without a single guest, but many people knew that there was a small shop next to this hotel with a steel door inside.
If a guest entered from the main door, the receptionist would tell them that the rooms were full, but they could go upstairs through the steel door.
What?
Youre asking why ng Ke knew this?
Because that shop didnt only have that steel door, but also a computer that minors could use to access the internet.
When he was a student, he ca here often with his friends to use the internet. After getting close to the boss, he asked about the people entering and leaving through the steel doors and found out its purpose quickly.
It wasnt exactly a mysterious place, it was just a gambling house.
Thats right, this was a secret gambling house.
ng Ke ca here to earn money.
Entering the shop, he greeted the boss who quickly led him through the steel door. After all, the two of them had been acquainted for 6 years.
Inside those steel doors were two n seated at the elevators entrance, smoking as they held their phones. They were guarding the doors of this place.
If the person entering had not been led in by the boss, they wouldve imdiately inford the higher-ups and stopped the person, regardless of their identity.
Just by sitting here, these n could earn a few hundred.
Here to play? A man squinted his eyes at ng Ke as he scrutinised him.
Hes one of us, dont be so suspicious and let him go up. The boss spoke with annoyance before he turned and left, closing the doors behind him.
ng Ke had only known of this place, and he was a bit self-conscious as he entered for the first ti.
The man bringing him up asked, You look unfamiliar, this must be your first ti, what are you here to play?
Uncapped Fried Golden Flower. (A popular type of poker in China.)
Oh? I didnt expect you to be a rich guy? The man was surprised.
Fried Golden Flower was also called three cards, the ga starts with the players placing their bets before the house dealt their three cards. As the house revealed their cards, every player could choose to fold or call based on the size of the cards in their hands.
Folding would lose their initial bet, and calling would have them place the sa amount to follow the bets placed on the table.
Of course, soone could double or triple their bet to open soones cards, and during this process, only the two people involved would have to decide to fold if they judged their own cards to be small.
But if soone continued calling without opening their cars, there were two ways to play Fried Golden Flower, capping or uncapping.
Capping was when after a few rounds of calling, everyone had to open their cards, and the biggest cards would win.
Uncapping ant that you could call as much as you wanted until soone revealed their cards.
That was why Fried Golden Flowers were also called the rich mans ga.
After making a call, the man led ng Ke into a room.
In this smoke-filled room, four n were already playing, their expressions as still as water.
And at this mont, there were already stacks of red bills on the table. (Red bills are $100 bills.)
After entering, ng Ke quietly sat on an unoccupied seat.
It was etiquette to be silent while watching a chess match, and it was the sa for poker.
Call.
Call.
Fold.
The ga ended quickly, and without asking ng Ke, the house placed three cards in front of him. It was obvious that he was playing the mont he placed his bet down.
With a $100 bet, ng Ke scanned the cards in front of him with his spiritual power. 78J, with J being the biggest. Without opening his cards, if they wanted to open his cards, they needed at least $400.
After that.
His spiritual power swept through the room.
This entire place was under his surveillance, and it was as if everyone had opened their cards in front of him.
QK4
367

679
Only two people had cards bigger than his, and they were people who had looked at their cards.
After the first round of calls, the cap-wearing man with 387 folded.
Call.
Call.
Call.
Call.
When you first enter the table, no one was sure of your tactics. This was a ti when you could fight even with small cards.
After the first round, $400 was added to the table.
The second round started, this was the real start of the ga.
After the house called, the next person in the clockwise direction, a man who was smoking, stared at the house and spoke, Open the cards, I dont believe that you have the sa luck from the last round.
In Fried Golden Flower, the victor was the house.
The man with the cigarette was holding two 3s, it was a pair. Indeed, he had the right to open another persons cards.
ng Ke knew that his cards were the biggest in this ga, so after the two had checked the cards, the house that was holding Q54 folded.
This was a bit troubleso, this smoker was obviously rich, and it was clear from the mont that he opened the houses cards.
He didnt care about losing or winning.
These kinds of people would hold on even with a barely decent hand.
As ng Ke called, he chose to call.
This ti, he only brought $900 with him, just by losing this ga, he would have no money to keep playing.
That was why he couldnt lose this ga.
It was the third round.
Unsurprisingly, the smoker and another old man decided to call yet again.
Both of them felt that their cards were big. In their mind, the more money that was placed on the table, the more money they would earn.
And ng Ke had the sa thought, which was why he called.
Its not like he would lose, so why wouldnt he call?
And because they were playing uncapping poker, the three of them called for three rounds.
At this point, there was quite a bit of money on the table.
The smoker carefully opened another persons cards, and after that man had folded, he watched on with a calm expression.
ng Ke counted $3,900 on the table. If the smoker opened his cards, he would have to add on another $2,800.
But ng Ke only needed $1,400 to open his cards.
Open your cards, I didnt see you check your cards once. With such guts, I dont believe youre bigger than !
The man confidently puffed out cigarette smoke with a half smile, his expression was as if he was going to eat ng Ke whole.
