Forces of Temptation

Qu Jinsha's smiling face is still kind, and the abacus beads in his heart have been beaten like rain.

The position and technique of Jiang Fangzhe are extremely precise.

The vast majority of these carefully designed magnetic cards have been reduced to ordinary poker.

In the eyes of the public, if you propose a new card now, it would be too deliberate and not decent enough.

According to the rules of the casino, if a new deck of cards is not obviously damaged, it must be used for at least three rounds before it can be replaced.

Watching the almost completely invalid poker be sent into the machine, the mechanical sound of disorderly washing and brushing and brushing can be heard beside my ears.

This voice has been heard thousands of times.

He listened, and his heart calmed down.

Originally, he planned to let Jiang Fang taste the sweetness in the first game.

It seems unnecessary.

Young people are unavoidable, and it is a good thing to suffer a little loss.

Jiang Fang seemed to have no idea what he was about to face: "Is there a dealer?"

Qu Jinsha didn't dare to underestimate him, but his attitude was still the same casual: "You still know the 'banker'?"

"It's mentioned in the rules of Texas Hold'em, you just taught it."

"This one can be. Take turns sitting on the estate."

"One rotation?"

"One rotation."

“What is the bookmaker’s odds?”

"Win and lose 3x."

"Who was the first to be in the estate?"

"Me first?"

“…good.”

During several tug-of-war conversations, Jiang Fang's smile had faded away from the greenness and shyness.

"You come first."

Qu Jinsha smiled inwardly.

He has already seen that this young man is somewhat capable.

Knows the tricks of the casino, understands basic gambling terminology, and is ambitious to make a fortune.

However, even pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is too much of a hurry.

What's the fun in taming a dog?

Wouldn't it be fun to tie up a puppy who thinks he was a wolf, proud and arrogant, and wear away his dignity and ideals little by little.

Nan Zhou also saw that Jiang Fang's temperament had changed indescribably.

Before, his aggression was very light, he was always humble and polite, smiling, and he felt very approachable.

But now Jiang Fang, sitting there alone, is a mass of frozen fire, looking warm, but inside is proudly indifferent.

The only thing he and that he has in common is that he is always smiling.

Nanzhou took a few steps forward and touched Jiang Fang's arm.

Jiang Fang, who had vaguely recovered his past state, suddenly moved in his heart and turned his head.

Meeting Nan Zhou's gaze, the unconsciously tense muscle lines on his forearm suddenly relaxed.

Jiang Fang smiled and asked: "What's wrong?"

Nan Zhou lowered his head and asked him with a moderate volume, "What is a dealer?"

This problem is a mental retardation in casinos.

Boos sounded from all directions.

But Jiang Fang was not impatient at all, and explained to him in detail: "At the gambling table, the banker is usually the winner of the previous round, called the banker; other players are called the player. The idlers can take turns. He once, I once, and then it's his turn."

"Then 'wins and losses are tripled', what does that mean?"

"If the banker wins, the player will lose 3 times his chips; similarly, if the banker loses, he will also pay 3 times the chips."

Nan Zhou understood with no expression: "Ah..."

Then he stood beside Jiang Fang, not intending to leave.

Jiang Fang: "Anything else?"

Nan Zhou: "No more. I want to stand here."

Jiang Fang looked at him inquiringly.

Nan Zhou: "...accompany you."

The hustle and bustle of the surrounding crowd, the soft and warm red velvet carpet, the dazzling brilliance of crystal lamps, and the opponent who is ready to attack.

Jiang Fang, who was surrounded by all sides, asked with a smile, "I look lonely, do I need someone to accompany me?"

"I don't know."

Nan Zhou lowered his eyes and said lightly, "...I'm just here to stand."

When Nan Zhou's subtle straight ball hit his heart, Jiang Fang's heart throbbed slightly.

He fixed his gaze on Nanzhou until a boxy hole opened in the center of the table, and he sent a stack of face down cards that had been completely shuffled.

The bunnies dealer brought a stack of chips.

10-point chips are yellow, 50-point chips are blue, and 100-point chips are red, and they are placed in a pagoda shape.

Li Yinhang was shocked when he saw this.

…Isn’t it good to only bet 100 points?

But Jiang Fang at the gaming table had no objection to this.

The bunny girl took out a small copper cane-shaped card hook, lifted the hook, and lined up the thoroughly shuffled cards.

Qu Jinsha's eyes swept across the board quickly.

He didn't see any cards with special textures.

…Magnetic code is not working.

Of course, he had expected such a situation, and it was not a big surprise.

He deliberately checked to see if Jiang Fang took the opportunity to mark the card when he took the card just now.

Qu Jinsha prides himself on his excellent eyesight, but after checking around, he found that Jiang Fang's hands and feet are quite clean.

The discovery disappointed him.

According to the rules of Douzhuan Casino, once a "player" is out of a thousand and is caught, he will have to pay back 10 times the gambling capital.

Song Sands loves this word game.

The guests are the "players" and he is the "player".

The master cheats, how can it be considered cheating?

Just wait for three rounds before putting on a new deck of cards.

At that time, Jiang Fang will not be able to encounter any new cards.

Jiang Fang quickly assigned a card.

Qu Jinsha's mentality was steady, he randomly took the last card, moved it to his eyes, and opened it to check.

Caohua 7, a small number, no surprises.

Qu Jinsha asked with a smile: "Are you overweight?"

In the chip box in front of Jiang Fang, there was a solitary yellow chip coin with a face value of 10 points.

After checking the bottom of the cards, his expression was still watertight, and there was no clue.

He replied, "No."

Qu Jinsha smiles even more.

The cards drawn by the opponent are not very big.

As expected.

Jiang Fang turned over and it was 9 of spades.

Pick 2 from 52, it’s just such a game of no fun and pure luck.

In the first round, Jiang Fang won without pain.

The crowd of onlookers burst into cheers and schadenfreude:

"Oh - the boss lost!"

Boss Qu was neither angry nor annoyed, he put the cards back in place with a smile.

In this game, although Jiang Fang won, it was very morale.

"Oops." Qu Jinsha watched his three 10-point chip coins being poked into Jiang Fang's chip by a copper hook, and put on a tone of regret, "If Xiaojiang just now A little bit of confidence, just raised and now I can triple.”

Hearing this, Li Yinhang, who was still immersed in the joy of winning, was choked up and his interest was greatly diminished.

Yes, the value of 9 is actually quite large.

If you were a little more confident just now, call...

Nan Zhou's voice interrupted her regret: "Why didn't Boss Na Qu add, because he is not confident enough."

Qu Jinsha was not annoyed, and played Tai Chi gently: "Haha, people of my age can't fight anymore, I like to seek stability. I didn't expect that young people are also cautious, it's nothing Go ahead."

Jiang Fang completely ignored the soft knife in Qu Jinsha's words, put the 9 of spades in his hand into the deck, and took the whole deck of cards in his hand again.

Because most of the magnetic code in the card has been destroyed by him, Qu Jinsha is not annoyed at him, but reminds him in a hurry: "Xiaojiang, the second round is about to start."

Jiang Fang glanced over the numbers on the card one by one, and said without looking up, "I'll take a look."

Qu Jinsha snorted.

Does he keep cards?

But after a while, Qu Jinsha laughed: "Don't look at it. As long as it goes into the shuffler, it will be shuffled again."

"No mess."

While speaking, Jiang Fang raised his eyes from above the fan-shaped card surface.

After being blocked by the lower half of his face, Jiang Fang's eyes lost the smile.

He whispered:

"Boss Qu, all cards are regular."

"No matter what it looks like, you will see what you should see."

Qu Jinsha laughed.

I didn't expect this beautiful young man to be so pretentious.

It looks like you are planning to do something?

But Jiang Fang quickly closed the card, revealing the lower half of his face with a sincere smile again.

This turned the somewhat serious words into a trivial joke.

52 cards, once again fed into the machine.

After a lot of digging, the desktop slowly opened again, and a deck of cards came out.

This time it's Jiangfang Zhuangzhuang's turn.

If he wants to make a thousand, he can only seize the opportunity to touch the card just now.

Qu Jinsha's narrow but sharp eyes like a falcon quickly swept across the backs of the cards spread out on the card table, trying to find the traces of Jiang Fang's work.

Who would have thought, under the search, he got a windfall.

Magnetic Code!

The 13th card from the left has a unique subtle color change after the magnetic code is recognized!

The difference is as small as the 70th and 80th levels in the game of color detection.

How small is it?

It is so small that even if you pick out this cheating card and put it in front of everyone and tell them that it is a problematic card, it will be difficult for ordinary people to identify where the cheating is. .

The fold of Jiang Fang did not destroy all the magnetic codes!

For the first time, the slightly damaged magnetic code was not recognized by the machine.

The second time, the magnetic code successfully passed the magnetic sieve.

The happy face of Qu Jinsha did not change. After deliberation, he naturally took out the card that represented victory as before.

Luck is on his side!

Thinking of this, Qu Jinsha was calm, not busy unveiling the plaque, and asked Jiang Fang, who was opposite, "Little dealer, have you made your choice?"

Jiang Fang put the chosen card upside down in front of him, then turned sideways and took a red 100-point chip from the chip tray, which was connected to the 40-point chip from the previous round. and put in the chip slot.

Qu Jinsha sneered in her heart.

I won a game by luck, and then I was stimulated by myself, and I was really confident.

Qu Jinsha also added the same chips as him, and said while adding: "Are you still adding chips?"

"Ah..."

Jiang Fang imitated Nan Zhou's sudden tone, took another red chip, put it between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, made a chess-like gesture, rubbed it for a moment, and put the chip into the chip again: " Add code."

Qu Jinsha was not afraid at all, and added the same chips as him, kindly reminded: "Jiang Fang, add a little less, if you lose, you are the dealer and you have to pay three times."

Listening to what he said, Jiang Fang raised his hand to the side of his ear, his palm facing Qu Jinsha, and his fingertips shook lightly.

—There was a red chip between his tail and ring fingers!

He threw the red chip into the box and repeated: "Up."

Seeing him so determined, Qu Jinsha's heart suddenly tightened.

Magnetic codes will only help the table identify the biggest cards in the rules from the 52 cards.

Did he also draw 2?

And won the suit? Draw the biggest 2 of spades?

Qu Jinsha was about to quietly turn over his card to check for confirmation, when he saw that Jiang Fang, who had added twice in a row, turned over his card.

It is a 9 of hearts.

Qu Jinsha: "…"

He almost choked on himself.

After a brief period of astonishment, it took a lot of effort to control the desire to laugh.

…that’s all?

It's just the same 9 drawn as last time!

How could Qu Jinsha expect that his casual stimuli would be so useful?

Seeing a sure win, his strong sense of play rose again.

Don't Jiang Fang like to play pig and eat tiger?

Forcibly pressing the corners of her mouth up, Qu Jinsha filled up the chips one by one, like a generous and honest elder, shyly said: "I'm really lucky. Then... I'll take a look too. Mine."

He opened the victory card in front of him.

Qu Sands did not check the cards.

He stared firmly at Jiang Fang's face, wanting to see the stunned gray defeat, unwilling anger, and the morbid fanaticism eager to come back after the fiasco on the face of this arrogant young man. .

—but, no.

The expression he expected, nothing.

The curvature of Jiang Fang's mouth has not changed in any way, like a precision-trained instrument, everything is stable and just right.

As the surrounding cheers became more and more schadenfreude, Qu Jinsha's back suddenly froze.

…no!

He bowed his head sharply, his throat twitching.

The psychological weightlessness of falling from heaven almost made him let out a "guru" burp.

What caught his eye was the smallest card in the current deck.

Blossom 3.

How? !

How did this happen? !

In Qu Jinsha's dilated pupils, Jiang Fang raised his hand to support his cheek.

Jiang Fang would not say that when he was visiting the place just now, he discovered the secret behind the playing cards uniformly used by the casino.

He wouldn't even say that he picked out a grass 3 from the waste cards that the dealer took down and had been scanned and used.

As a dealer for four years, Jiang Fang has the habit of staying in casino poker as a souvenir.

And when he was invited to bet by Qu Jinsha, Jiang Fang had a plan in mind.

When this grass 3 was used for the first time, it was one of the most requested and largest cards in that hand.

In the game rules for betting on the size of poker cards, the grass 3 is always the smallest one.

So—

—"Let's play a simple game."

—"Boss Qu is so lucky, I want to bet on luck with Boss Qu."

—“How about betting on big and small?”

When he got the card for the second time and counted to the position of grass flower 3, Jiang Fang tilted his wrist slightly and slipped the card with the magnetic code imprint on the back into the sequence easily.

Over and over again, the transformation is made.

As expected, Boss Qu only cares about whether he has made a mark or not, and doesn't notice the trap he dug out with his cheating hands.

He said: "Boss Qu, all cards are regular."

"No matter what it looks like, you will see what you should see."

Speaking, Jiang Fang's fingertips brushed the three bright red chips hooked by the bunny girl's copper hook cane, and asked back with a smile, "Is it right?"
