After Zhang Xiaoqiang said that, Yu Daochen nodded. The idea was indeed good. Regardless of winning or losing, he could win back the thirteen thousand yuan.
However, he still felt something was off.
Yu Daochen thought carefully and suddenly realized that if he lost, he would have to spend a night with Ye Mei.
This was essentially selling himself!
If I lose, then I have to spend a night with Ye Mei. Yu Daochen voiced his doubts.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's lips curved upwards, looking confident: Don't worry, Brother Yu, I've already thought of a solution.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang's confident demeanor, Yu Daochen agreed and nodded.
Although this guy usually seemed unreliable, he was absolutely trustworthy at critical moments.
But a problem arose. No matter how you looked at it, Qiangzi's condition was a loss for Ye Mei. He wondered if she would agree.
As Yu Daochen was pondering whether Ye Mei would agree, he saw her nod in agreement: I accept this condition. After all, thirteen thousand yuan to have the renowned Yu Ye of the martial world accompany me for a night is a sure bet. Moreover, thirteen thousand yuan is just a matter of a few hands of cards for me.
Yu Daochen looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang beside him. All his hopes were now pinned on Qiangzi.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, signaling Yu Daochen to be bold and rest assured.
The winner is the one who wins two out of three rounds. What game do you three wish to play with me? Ye Mei looked at the three of them.
Yu Daochen and the other two exchanged glances.
Although Yu Daochen had seen gambling in videos, he had never played before. As for Zhang Xiaoqiang, although he had played, he rarely did. He basically only understood the game rules, just a little better than a complete novice.
The only experienced one among the three was Su Lai, but that guy had never won.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Su Lai: Brother Su, you go first this round.
Su Lai nodded, his expression becoming somewhat serious. He had never won at cards, especially not gambling against Ye Mei, and he felt completely uncertain.
What game do you wish to play, Master Su? Ye Mei smiled.
Golden Flower, winner takes all! Su Lai's eyes were firm.
There is an unwritten rule in gambling: if you build up your momentum, your cards won't be too bad.
Regardless of the opponent's skill, as long as you can overpower them with your aura, you still have a chance to win.
Although Su Lai always had the aura to overpower his opponents, he never won.
Ye Mei picked up the poker cards on the table to shuffle them. Su Lai quickly stopped her: I'll shuffle.
Ye Mei smiled faintly and pushed the poker cards to Su Lai: Then let Master Su shuffle.
Su Lai picked up the poker cards on the table and began shuffling.
Golden Flower is the most common form of gambling. Each person is dealt three cards. The smallest single card is the same as the largest (check the specific rules yourself).
After Su Lai finished shuffling, he looked at Ye Mei, who was looking calm: Miss Ye, do you want to be the dealer, or shall I?
(Being the dealer means who gets dealt first.)
Ye Mei spread her hands: Then I'll be the dealer.
Su Lai began dealing the cards. After everyone received three cards, Su Lai placed the remaining cards aside.
Su Lai flipped over his cards and took a look. Yu Daochen and Zhang Xiaoqiang also leaned in to see.
A 7, a 5, and a 4. The smallest single cards.
Yu Daochen and Zhang Xiaoqiang exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly.
There was no need to compare; they knew they had lost.
Ye Mei looked at the three of them: Since you've all seen them, let's reveal the cards.
Su Lai laid out his cards and shook his head in resignation, accepting the reality of his loss.
Ye Mei said nothing and revealed her cards.
A 6, a 4, and a 3. Single cards.
These cards were even smaller than Su Lai's. Yu Daochen and the other two stared at Ye Mei's revealed cards in disbelief.
Ye Mei seemed to have anticipated this outcome. Her face showed no discouragement; instead, she smiled: Master Su won this round. Let's move on to the next.
The three of them couldn't understand what Ye Mei was up to.
If it were this easy to beat Ye Mei, her legendary gambling skills in the martial world wouldn't be so renowned.
However, no matter what tricks she intended to use, if they won the next round, they would get their thirteen thousand yuan back, and then they would leave immediately.
Yu Daochen glanced at Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded and looked at Ye Mei: There's an element of luck in card games. I consider my luck to be consistently bad, so I'd like to gamble with you, Miss Ye, by shaking dice.
Although Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't gamble, he knew some of the rules. Once you win a round, you shouldn't continue playing.
Especially not against someone with high gambling skills.
Zhang Xiaoqiang picked up a pair of dice from the table: Miss Ye and I will see who shakes the smaller number.
Ye Mei's lips curved upwards: Since Elder Zhang suggests it, this humble girl will play a round with Elder Zhang.
Ye Mei said this and also picked up a pair of dice from the table.
The two of them locked eyes. Zhang Xiaoqiang began shaking the dice first.
Zhang Xiaoqiang felt quite confident. Although he disliked gambling, he had a martial brother who was addicted to it.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang first became a disciple of Daoist Lingze, his third senior brother was a complete gambler.
He was especially skilled at shaking dice, and they always decided chores like chopping wood and carrying water by shaking dice.
However, Zhang Xiaoqiang had never won a single time since then, but he had learned some dice-shaking techniques.
