Chapter 36: Top gambling skills, psychological warfare

The atmosphere in the private room was extremely tense.

No one expected that a simple meal would turn into such a big gambling match.

One casino for one answer?

Lin Zu stared blankly at this once ordinary roommate from his dorm.

His family background was ordinary, and his major courses were also ordinary.

He hadn't had any girlfriends during university, and besides his cultural studies being outstanding, everything else about him was very ordinary.

In a campus like Yan Film Academy, he was practically lost in the crowd.

Ever since Lin Zu latched onto Song YaWen, he felt that he had opened up a significant gap with Chen Feng.

Perhaps the gap would be even larger in the future.

This time, asking Chen Feng to guest star was actually driven by a sense of superiority in finding work for him.

But what about now?

All his superiority was in jeopardy, like a towering building on the verge of collapse.

Because no matter how he looked at it, Ouyang Hua seemed serious.

He wanted to wager a casino for a gambling match with Chen Feng.

This was too outrageous.

The world of the rich was truly incomprehensible.

Was one answer really that important?

Lin Zu was confused.

Everyone else was also very confused.

Especially Mai Zijie.

He had known Ouyang Hua for many years.

It was the first time he had seen this man, who almost became the Gambling King, gamble so seriously.

And his opponent was just an unknown extra actor?

Simply ridiculous!

Mai Zijie couldn't help but look at Ouyang Hua and tentatively asked, "Mr. Ouyang, you're not joking, are you?"

"I'm not joking."

Ouyang Hua was very serious, staring at Chen Feng without blinking: "Mr. Chen, shall we gamble?"

Chen Feng: "…"

Everyone looked at Chen Feng.

No one knew what to say.

Ouyang Hua continued: "If Mr. Chen thinks the stakes aren't enough, then I can add another casino. Two casinos, for one answer from you."

Everyone was shocked again!

Two casinos?

Finally, Chen Feng shook his head: "Mr. Ouyang, you can't win against me."

As soon as this sentence came out, Mai Zijie almost jumped up.

What did he say?

So arrogant?

He actually told Ouyang Hua to his face that he couldn't win?

Too presumptuous, wasn't it?

The others had even more peculiar expressions.

Instead, Ouyang Hua became much calmer, slowly placing the poker cards on the table and saying faintly, "Mr. Chen is so confident? Then let's do it, one game to decide the winner."

"Good."

Chen Feng at this moment was a true gambler.

Would he care if the stakes were high?

The higher the better.

So he simply picked up the poker cards, and said casually, "For fairness, let's each shuffle a deck. Then, find someone else to deal the cards. How about that?"

"Good, fair."

Ouyang Hua nodded.

So, Chen Feng began to shuffle the cards.

It was still without any fancy tricks, not as elaborate as he had performed during the audition.

However, Ouyang Hua's gaze was unusually solemn.

He even stared without blinking.

Sweat was flowing down his forehead.

Soon, Chen Feng finished shuffling the cards, and Ouyang Hua immediately took them, quickly shuffled them three times, cut the deck three times, and finally placed them on the table, letting out a long breath.

He seemed to be confident now.

At this moment, Chen Feng turned to look at Liu Rui beside him: "You deal the cards."

"Ah? Me?"

Liu Rui was momentarily flustered and nervous: "I don't know how to play."

"I'm not asking you to play, just deal the cards."

Chen Feng smiled: "Just deal three cards to each person, don't be nervous, it has nothing to do with you."

"Oh."

Liu Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she reached out her delicate little hand and took the poker cards.

Then she clumsily began to deal the cards.

Three cards per person.

Ouyang Hua stared at Chen Feng's hand the entire time.

He never took his eyes off him.

Finally, the cards were dealt.

Chen Feng looked at Ouyang Hua and smiled: "Mr. Ouyang, you lost."

"What?"

Ouyang Hua was stunned: "I lost? I haven't even looked at my cards, how do you know I lost?"

"I know."

Chen Feng shrugged: "I know what cards you have."

"You... really know?"

Ouyang Hua's expression changed.

"I really know, three Kings, right?"

The flesh on Ouyang Hua's face twitched.

The few people beside him were all stunned.

What was going on?

They just finished dealing the cards, and he already knew the other person's hand?

Was it that spooky?

Ouyang Hua's breathing slowly became rapid, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

If Chen Feng really knew his hand, then winning against him would indeed not be difficult.

In fact, when Chen Feng was shuffling the cards just now, Ouyang Hua had already noticed a clue; all four Aces in the deck were gone.

They must have been hidden by Chen Feng.

But Ouyang Hua couldn't figure out how.

With just that trick, he lost.

But the gambling match had to continue.

To win this gambling match, Ouyang Hua could only get three Kings.

A three of a kind of Kings would win.

Ouyang Hua was shuffling the cards last.

So he used his unique technique to change his cards to a three of a kind of Kings.

Liu Rui was an ordinary person.

She didn't understand the tricks.

So the cards she dealt to him wouldn't be wrong.

His hand was definitely three Kings.

But...

Now Ouyang Hua was losing confidence again.

Chen Feng actually saw that he had three Kings, and with an expression of expectation, he even declared unequivocally that he had lost.

If this was truly the case, then there was only one possibility.

That was, Chen Feng had put the four Aces back without him even noticing.

Moreover, the cards in his hand were very likely three Aces.

Only a three of a kind of Aces could beat his three of a kind of Kings.

Was it really like this?

Ouyang Hua's face slowly turned pale.

He truly didn't care about losing two casinos.

But losing so completely, so helplessly, he couldn't bear it.

This blow was even more devastating than losing to Macau Gambling King He Yingsheng back then.

Ouyang Hua seemed to be frozen.

Chen Feng across from him shook his head and said, "Mr. Ouyang, you have already lost. However, I have no interest in the casino business. So, you can consider it yourself."

"You reveal your cards, and the win or loss is decided."

"Both casinos are mine."

"If you don't reveal your cards, this gambling match will be as if it never happened."

"You are still Ouyang Hua."

"To reveal or not, you decide."

After speaking, he reached out and gently tapped his own cards.

His finger seemed to have magic, drawing Ouyang Hua's gaze to it involuntarily, tapping on the cards a few times.

Ouyang Hua could almost certainly conclude that those three cards were definitely Aces.

To reveal or not to reveal?

Once he revealed them and lost, then everything might completely collapse.

His state of mind, which he had slowly recovered with great difficulty over so many years, would once again crumble into a mess, even to the point of doubting life.

Because Chen Feng was not Macau Gambling King He Yingsheng after all.

He was just a small extra.

Could he lose?

No!

He couldn't lose!

Two casinos were a small matter, but losing would mean a complete loss of confidence.

It would be impossible to recover after that.

At that time, what about the goal of going to Macau for revenge?

The private room was unusually quiet.

It remained quiet for a full ten minutes.

Finally, Ouyang Hua slowly reached out and pressed down on his cards.

At the same time, he said in a low, hoarse voice: "Mr. Chen, this round... is void."

"Good."

Chen Feng smiled.

He casually pushed the three cards aside, smiling and nodding: "I agree too, this round is void. To be honest, I really don't have the ability to run a casino."

Ouyang Hua forced a smile: "Mr. Chen didn't even look at his cards, yet he was so sure he could win?"

"Sometimes, winning or losing doesn't necessarily depend on looking at the cards."

Chen Feng gave him a meaningful look.

Then, he stood up and looked at Mai Zijie and Song YaWen, smiling: "Director Mai, Sister Song, let's call it a night. I'm not very good at drinking, Azu knows. I'm really dizzy now."

Lin Zu quickly nodded: "Yes, he really can't drink much."

"Alright then, that's it for tonight."

Mai Zijie finally nodded.

So, Chen Feng bid farewell to everyone and left the restaurant with Liu Rui.

After the two left, Ouyang Hua never got up.

He just stared blankly at the cards on the table.

Those poker cards seemed to have magic, drawing all his spirit into them.

At one point.

Ouyang Hua seemed unable to bear it any longer, suddenly stood up and walked to Chen Feng's seat, and flipped over his three cards.

As soon as the cards were flipped, Ouyang Hua's body trembled violently, and he gasped in surprise: "What? A pair of 6s?"
