I don't know how the smoke ring was blown out, but it didn't disappear, but slowly floated towards Lin Chen in mid-air.
A faint smell of cigar immediately poured into Lin Chen's nose.
Although he doesn't smoke, Lin Chen is not as sensitive to this smell as the smell of cigarettes. Instead, he finds it somewhat pleasant.
At this time, Thompson's voice sounded in his ears: "How do we compare to stud in this game? They say that the most common game in your Chinese gambling movies is stud, so there should be no problem in choosing this, right?"
How about betting $10 million a handful?"
"Okay." Lin Chen agreed almost immediately.
Seeing this, Thompson immediately pointed to a dealer next to him.
"Man, could you please come over and help me?"
The dealer took an unopened playing card, dismantled it in front of the two of them, and then began to shuffle the cards.
For regular gambling masters, the moment of shuffling the cards is the most critical time, because regular gambling tables use a new set of cards in every round, so for card gamblers, the only way to remember the cards is
The moment is when the dealer is shuffling the cards.
In a duel between gambling experts, even being able to remember a few cards is a huge advantage.
However, this point is naturally irrelevant to Lin Chen. He can calculate the success rate and does not need to remember the cards.
What surprised Lin Chen was that even though he didn't remember the cards, Thompson on the opposite side didn't even look at the dealer, but kept looking at him with a smile and a cigar.
Lin Chen couldn't help but said a little strangely: "Mr. Thompson, don't you read the cards?"
"Mr. Lin didn't read it either?" Thompson said with a smile.
Strange...
Just when Lin Chen was confused, the dealer had shuffled the cards and started dealing them directly.
Two people, each with an exposed card and a hidden card.
Lin Chen took a look and saw that his own card was the Ace of Spades, while Thompson's card was just the 3 of Diamonds.
The cards on both sides are quite different.
Lin Chen looked at his cards again...
Ha...it's actually the Ace of Hearts?
"Ace of Spades, please speak." The dealer looked at Lin Chen and said respectfully.
Lin Chen thought for a while and calculated in his mind: The probability that I can win this round is... 100%!
good!
"Since it's the Ace of Spades, let's play bigger! 30 million US dollars!" Lin Chen said, with a wave of his arm, he pushed a pile of chips to the center of the gaming table.
When Thompson saw it, his face remained as usual, and he followed with a smile.
After that, the cards rotated, but Lin Chen's luck seemed to be particularly good. He actually got all the Aces in a row. Just looking at the three Aces on the card, he was already a sure win.
What made him feel a little strange was that even so, Thompson's expression remained unchanged and he just kept following Lin Chen's bets.
In the last hand, Lin Chen, as expected, successfully won the hand with 4 Aces and won nearly 200 million!
On the opposite side, Thompson didn't even complain. It was as if he lost to Lin Chen on purpose.
This made Lin Chen feel a little strange, but for a while, he couldn't see anything wrong with it.
After that, the poker game continued, and Lin Chen's luck was simply unbelievable. All kinds of kings kept appearing, including straight flush, flush, and big cards, so that he almost didn't even need to use his own abilities.
But the strange thing is that no matter how big Lin Chen's cards are, Thompson's expression remains unchanged, and he always follows closely, and follows every card to the end.
So much so that after just five hands, Thompson's one billion chips had already been lost by almost 700 million.
Now, Lin Chen felt a little strange.
Is this Thompson a spy from the other side? He actually lost money to himself like this?
What’s even stranger is, are the three Li Xiuzhen dead?
Seeing Thompson losing money like this, they didn't even react?
The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more strange he felt. At this moment, he suddenly realized something, that is, the scene seemed to have been much quieter since the card game started.
There were obviously a lot of cheers and shouts before, but after the poker game started, it seemed like they couldn't be heard anymore.
strangeness……
Lin Chen turned to look at Xie Xiaoxiao and the others behind him: "Brother Zhao, Xiao Wu, you..."
Just as Lin Chen began to speak, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, because behind him, Zhao Wenxuan and Xie Xiaoxiao all kept the same smile. They looked like dummies...
Strange, what is going on?
this……
At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly found that the scene in front of him had become blurry.
At the same time, it seemed as if an earthquake had occurred around him, and it was shaking violently...
What the hell is going on?
"Brother Lin! Brother Lin! Don't scare me!"
"Fuck! What did you ghost guy do to Brother Lin?"
The next moment, Lin Chen suddenly woke up, and then he saw Zhao Wenxuan and the others looking at him nervously, while Xie Xiaoxiao was still holding his shoulders and shaking them.
"I, what happened to me just now?"
Hearing Lin Chen speak, Jie Xiaoxiao, who was shaking Lin Chen's shoulders, immediately let go of his hand and asked with concern: "Brother Lin! Are you awake?"
"Brother Lin, are you okay?"
"Brother Lin, you scared us to death just now!"
Zhao Wenxuan and the others also came over.
Lin Chen looked at them strangely and asked, "Did I scare you to death? What on earth is going on?"
"Brother Lin, don't you even know? You were hypnotized by this Thompson just now! He kept telling you to follow the cards without even looking at your own cards! It's been half an hour, and he has already won your money.
One billion US dollars!" Xie Xiaoxiao said.
"Hypnosis?"
After hearing Xie Xiaoxiao's words, Lin Chen turned his head towards the gambling table with a surprised look on his face.
Everything in front of him was completely opposite to what he had just seen.
The chips in front of him were indeed missing by more than half. On the other hand, Thompson's chips were piled up into a small mountain.
Obviously, Xie Xiaoxiao didn't lie.
It turns out that everything I just saw was a post-hypnotic hallucination!
No wonder everything I saw at that time was so wrong!
Is there such a powerful hypnosis in this world?
And when was Lin Chen hypnotized?
This technique is really amazing!
No wonder Thompson claimed to have beaten seven gambling gods. He was definitely not exaggerating!
"Mr. Lin, are you awake yet? You have to thank your friends. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid you wouldn't be awake until the gambling game is over."
Seeing Thompson holding a cigar in his mouth and smiling proudly at himself, Lin Chen suddenly reacted.
"Is it a cigar? You just used a cigar..."
"What's wrong with the cigars? These are authentic Cuban cigars. Do you want me to try one?" Thompson sneered, then flicked his finger and threw a cigar to Lin Chen.
