Chapter 9: Chapter 9 All Property
After laughing, as if to show off his straightforward personality, Little Beard slapped the pile of money in front of him and barked, "Look closely, all my betting money is here. Since you want to bet, how big do you want to play? Show your hand first!"
"Hehe, naturally!"
Ling Zhenfei gave a nonchalant smile and took out all the money from his waist: "I have three thousand yuan here, it's all I own. Let's settle it in one round, three thousand a game. Do you dare?"
My... goodness!
Ling Zhenfei's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present considerably. Especially Little Beard, who almost fainted from anger upon hearing this!
Having listened to Ling Zhenfei's boasting moments before, Little Beard and the other gamblers thought he was a man of great spirit, ready to play a big game.
But as it turned out, this guy's entire fortune was a mere three thousand yuan...
Seeing this situation, not only were the gamblers dumbstruck on the spot, but even the gambling stall owner, who had held high hopes for Ling Zhenfei just a moment ago, couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
"Hahaha..."
Little Beard stared blankly at Ling Zhenfei for quite some time before saying, "Kid, you must be out of your mind with greed, huh? A measly three thousand yuan and you want to win my one million? You're like a toad lusting after swan meat, what a cheeky fellow..."
"Hey, never mind about me being cheeky, I'm just asking you, three thousand a game, do you dare to bet or not?"
Ling Zhenfei didn't have time to listen to his nonsense. He cut him off with a wave of his hand before he could finish speaking.
"Dare! What's there to be afraid of! It's not just three thousand a game, even if it's three million a game, I dare as long as you have the money!"
Little Beard had immense confidence in his Cheating Techniques. Since it was a single game that would decide the winner, he thought he'd severely teach this arrogant kid in front of him a lesson.
"Kid, let's play one round first. Since you don't have much for betting, I won't bully you. If you lose, you just pay three thousand. If I lose, I'll pay you ten times that, how about that?"
It seemed like he wanted to showcase his superiority before Ling Zhenfei, and right before the game started, Little Beard even said it with scorn.
"Fine! It's a deal!" Since the other party wanted to act tough, Ling Zhenfei saw no need to beat around the bush with him.
With the current betting money he had on hand indeed quite limited, if he were to win this way, round after round, he didn't know how many games it would take to win the amount of money he desired!
Little Beard couldn't detect the slightest scent of a gambling master on Ling Zhenfei, convinced he was nothing more than a braggart. After their agreement, she stretched out her hand to shuffle the deck.
"Hold on!"
Ling Zhenfei had been observing from the side for so long, he was intimately familiar with her deceptive shuffling and dealing techniques. How could he let her hands touch the cards again?
Just as Little Beard's fair hands had barely reached out, Ling Zhenfei quickly placed his hand over hers.
"You... you..."
Clearly taken by surprise by Ling Zhenfei's action, Little Beard quickly withdrew her hand as if bitten by a snake, her face flushing red while glaring at Ling Zhenfei angrily.
"What's the matter, you're not a woman, are you? Can't even touch your hand?"
Watching her reaction, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but find it amusing: "Hehe, you're blushing, could it be that you're actually a woman?"
"Pah, pah, who's a woman? Kid, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Who are you calling a woman? You're the woman here!"
Having almost revealed her identity in her moment of panic, Little Beard rolled her eyes at Ling Zhenfei once more upon seeing his teasing expression.
"Heh, as long as you're not a woman, that's fine! If you really were a woman, even if I won, it wouldn't be anything to brag about!"
Seeing that all the gamblers were staring over here, Ling Zhenfei snatched the cards from the table and began to shuffle them himself.
Ling Zhenfei was already well-versed in cheating techniques, and with the inheritance of The Ultimate Medicine God, his intelligence was extraordinary, and he possessed the Perspective Divine Eye; he had now become a master of cheating techniques.
It's not just Little Beard; even the world-famous cheating experts in the gambling world would have to admit defeat in front of him!
This random shuffling had disrupted the arrangement of cards that Little Beard had previously set up.
Ling Zhenfei originally thought that after his interference, Little Beard would surely be flustered, but he didn't expect this young lady to be completely unruffled, just looking at him shuffle with a cold sneer.
"Kid, you've already shuffled the cards, isn't it my turn to deal now?" Ling Zhenfei had finished shuffling the cards, and only then did Little Beard slowly take the arranged deck into her hands.
For a cheating expert, any part of the game, be it shuffling, dealing, or playing, can be manipulated.
Seeing Little Beard's calm demeanor, it was clear that she had yet to reveal her trump card!
"Alright, please do," Ling Zhenfei said, nodding with a smile, once he had finished shuffling the cards, naturally he couldn't stop her from dealing. He thus put on a very gentlemanly expression.
"Thank you!"
A subtle smile spilled from the corner of Little Beard's mouth as she held the cards and began to deal them one by one to herself and Ling Zhenfei.
Her movements appeared graceful, neither hurried nor slow, like clouds flowing across the sky.
No matter how wide the surrounding gamblers opened their eyes, they couldn't tell that she was cheating right under their noses.
Little Beard's cheating technique was definitely on par with a magician's, her fingers nimbly and slowly manipulated the cards as if she were walking on clouds, finding the cards she wanted from a deck with a flick or a hook.
However, her skillful moves, though seemingly flawless, couldn't escape Ling Zhenfei's Perspective Divine Eye.
Ling Zhenfei clearly saw that this guy was using the highly proficient technique of Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves, quickly swapping the bad cards in his hand at the first opportunity.
What a slick Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves!
The entire process of Little Beard cheating was observed by Ling Zhenfei, who mockingly sneered to himself, but outwardly, he remained completely composed.
Heh, no matter how slick Little Beard's cheating was, Ling Zhenfei had already anticipated her tricks during the dealing process.
And he, had imperceptibly kept a good hand for himself while shuffling the cards just now.
Even if Little Beard, with all her sly trickery, managed to get herself a JQK Straight Flush, she was unaware that the hand she dealt to Ling Zhenfei was a triple-A bomb.
"Heh, sister, have you finished dealing the cards? If you're done, let's all begin!"
Just as Little Beard finished dealing the cards and had yet to gather back the triumphant look on her face, she saw Ling Zhenfei sitting with one leg crossed, a strange smirk on his face, as he stared at her and asked.
"Pah, shut your mouth, who's your sister? If you want to call someone sister, go home and do it!"
Little Beard rolled her eyes at Ling Zhenfei and ignored him, again assuming the mysterious air she had before, deliberately pressing the three cards tightly against the table, slowly flipping up the corners of the cards.
The attention of the gamblers around them was almost entirely focused on Little Beard's side.
