Chapter 267: Abnormal Gambling Game
Wu Xian asked Tong Yuai for a wet wipe, wiped the table and chairs clean, sat opposite Zhou Xingsen with a disgusted face, and asked Zhou Xingsen unceremoniously.
"When will you pay back the money you owe me?"
Zhou Xingsen was stunned.
"When did I owe you money... forget it, maybe I did, but that's not necessary, let's have a happy gamble."
His eyes seemed to have magic, making Wu Xian feel the urge to gamble, but Wu Xian had been on guard, so Zhou Xingsen's bewitchment didn't succeed.
That conversation just now.
Tong Yuai didn't feel anything.
But Wu Xian immediately realized that this Zhou Xingsen could no longer be considered a human. He had even forgotten his previous memories. Now he was a monster obsessed with gambling.
So Wu Xian put his hand on the chair, pretending to be interested, and asked Zhou Xingsen.
"Okay, my hands are just itchy, so I'll accompany you for two rounds. What is the bet? Is it the money you owe me?"
Zhou Xingsen shook his head.
"Gambling money is too boring. Let's gamble... on people!"
He raised his head and looked at Tong Yuai, his face revealing an indescribable expression, his eyes flashing with beast-like desire and greed, just like an old bachelor who hadn't seen a woman for eight hundred years.
"If I lose, I'll return Zhou Xiaobao to you and divorce you. If you lose... she has to stay!"
Gambling on people...
Wu Xian's eyes narrowed, and his eyes swept over Old Chen's corpse.
Perhaps Old Chen had just used himself as a bet, and after losing, he died in the room where the shrine was located.
Wu Xian turned to look at Tong Yuai.
Whether to use her as a bet had to be decided by herself. Tong Yuai hesitated for a while and agreed.
So Wu Xian turned back.
"Okay, I agree to this bet."
Zhou Xingsen grinned ferociously.
He clapped his hands, the door next to him opened, and a young boy moved two chairs out and sat on one of them.
This boy was Tong Yuai's adopted Zhou Xiaobao! Zhou Xiaobao's face was as pale as paper, and his movements were very stiff. After sitting down, he signaled Tong Yuai to sit next to him. Tong Yuai rushed up when she saw him, but no matter what she said, Zhou Xiaobao was like a puppet.
After trying several times, Tong Yuai finally realized that she had no other choice. She could only participate in this gambling game herself to save the child.
So she sat on the chair with fear and trepidation.
The moment she sat down, she suddenly felt a chill in her body, as if someone was wrapping around her neck, holding a sharp knife against her throat, making her dare not move, but she didn't see anything.
Wu Xian glanced at her and guessed her general situation. He continued to ask Zhou Xingsen.
"The bet is set, so what are we using to gamble?"
"Let's use poker!"
"Okay!"
The progress of the matter was about the same as Zhou Xingsen expected. Next, Wu Xian would lose Tong Yuai first, and then lose himself, so he reached for the poker box on the table.
But the next second.
The situation was beyond Zhou Xingsen's control.
Wu Xian grabbed the poker box and threw it into the trash can on the side. Zhou Xingsen asked Wu Xian angrily: "What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?"
Wu Xian asked Zhou Xingsen back.
"Since it's gambling, the premise must be fair, right?"
Zhou Xingsen was stunned. Did Wu Xian feel that his poker was tampered with? "I just agreed to two of your conditions, so next you have to agree to two of my conditions. You decided the bet and playing poker, so I will provide the gambling tools and the specific way to play."
Zhou Xingsen thought for a while and felt that what Wu Xian said made sense. If all the rules were set by him, it wouldn't be a fair gambling game, so he had no choice but to agree.
Seeing him agree, Wu Xian naturally took out the White Ghost Poker and placed it on the table. He had just agreed to two of Zhou Xingsen's conditions just to use his own poker to participate in the gambling game.
"As for the way to play..."
Zhou Xingsen was very generous: "Texas, Blackjack, betting on size... no matter what way to play, I will accompany you."
Wu Xian laughed again.
"That's what you said. Then let's compare building a poker tower."
Zhou Xingsen was stunned: "What did you say?"
Wu Xian put two cards together, and the poker stood up: "Just like this, it's very simple. Whoever's poker tower reaches five floors first wins."
Zhou Xingsen's brows were locked tightly.
This was completely different from what he thought, but he had already said the big words, and this was indeed a fair way to gamble, so he had no choice but to agree.
Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After using the White Ghost Poker as a gambling tool, Wu Xian was like having a heavenly eye, knowing what all the cards were. According to normal thinking, he was almost invincible now.
But even so.
Wu Xian still didn't dare to gamble normally with Zhou Xingsen.
He had watched movies, after all. What Gambling Venerable, Gambling Emperor, Gambling King...
The advantages of the villain were basically the same as Wu Xian's, knowing what the protagonist's cards were, whether hiring people to watch or using high-tech, all kinds of ways to play were shown to the sky.
But the one who won in the end was definitely the protagonist.
Why?
Technology couldn't beat cheating!
Zhou Xingsen could cheat. He clearly had abilities related to gambling. If it weren't for the last resort, Wu Xian wouldn't gamble with him.
So Wu Xian chose to differentiate the track and compare building a poker tower. In this way, even if he lost in the end, he could delay a lot of time, so that the possible reinforcements could arrive in time for rescue.
The two cleaned up the table.
Each divided half of the poker and began to focus on building the poker tower like a child.
Tong Yuai watched nervously.
Because this childish game determined her life!
Wu Xian was familiar with the road and soon built three floors, his hands as steady as a machine.
He chose this way to play because he had an advantage. Since childhood, Wu Xian didn't like games that relied on luck, so he often played by building poker.
Looking at Zhou Xingsen on the other side, he was very clumsy, having just built two floors, and it was crooked.
But Wu Xian felt a chill in his heart.
Because Zhou Xingsen's poker tower, although it had been distorted to that extent, didn't collapse in the end, as if there was invisible power maintaining it.
Fortunately, Zhou Xingsen's speed was not as fast as his.
So Wu Xian stabilized his mind, focused on building the poker tower, and soon built it to the fourth floor.
Whew! Seeing that the fifth floor was about to start.
Suddenly, an invisible cold wind blew, and Wu Xian's poker tower collapsed!
A gloomy smile appeared on Zhou Xingsen's face, and he continued to build the crooked poker tower. He had also built it to the fourth floor. Tong Yuai, who was watching from the side, felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Wu Xian's mouth curled up.
You think you can do things?
So he activated the Ghost Pushing Mill Technique imprinted on the opposite poker. When the ability on the poker was activated, the poker would have a slight tremor. With this tremor, Zhou Xingsen's poker tower also collapsed with a bang.
The two cards at the very top floated awkwardly in the air for two seconds before slowly drifting down...
