Marvel: Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 21 Gambling
Originally, there should be no intersection between the two, but Link has become famous in New York recently, and Tony Stark came to New York to check the progress of Stark Tower.

Of course, some business partners still had to meet, so Pepper Potts arranged a cocktail party.

They talked about playing cards and mentioned Link, a master who has recently become famous.

Tony Stark then remembered the guy who won five million from him. He immediately asked about it and got Link's phone number.

Link had participated in many card games before, involving different amounts of money. It was easiest to win those games with money from gamblers, and it was a lot, so they were easily overwhelmed.

Technical rounds often win the least, so Link needs to design traps to win more.

This time Tony Stark told him on the phone that the game would be big, but Link never thought he would lose. In the end it would be a check anyway, so he didn't need to bring cash.

Jessica looked at Link in surprise and asked, "Is it really Stark?"

"Of course, didn't I tell you?" Link said with a smile, "I won five million from him."

"I am so surprised!" Jessica was shocked.

……

The next day, the two went out for dinner. Link sent Jessica back and then chose his own clothes, shirt, tie, cufflinks, watch, and leather shoes.

He also carried his own weapons, which he concealed with his suit jacket. Link also brought a checkbook and three cigars.

"How is it?" Link turned and looked at Jessica and asked.

"Great!" Jessica helped Link adjust his tie, "But don't worry too much about winning or losing."

"Don't worry, Stark is no match for me." Link gave Jessica a reassuring look.

We went downstairs and drove all the way to a big hotel, where special rooms were available.

"Mr. Stark!" Link saw Tony Stark after entering. "I didn't expect you to come so early?"

"Of course, I'm the challenger this time, so I won't be late." Tony Stark invited Link to sit aside. "What would you like to drink?"

"Bourbon!" Link then took out a cigar, "I learned a lot in Las Vegas last time, cigars and bourbon!"

"Yes, you should learn to enjoy life. But I heard that you have made playing cards your career?" Tony Stark asked, "And you have never lost so far?"

"I haven't lost yet, but I don't have enough confidence to participate in international competitions." Link said modestly, "After all, I still lack experience in this kind of professional competitions."

"Maybe I'll try it later. They're all professionals there."

"You may not be able to defeat me today." Stark raised his eyebrows. "There will be two more people in a while. One is a director of the bank, and the other one is someone you know, Justin Hammer."

"Mr. Hammer, are you still willing to play cards with us?" Link's expression was a little strange.

"Haha~" Tony Stark laughed, "He is a man who never admits defeat."

His tone was full of joking, probably because Stark had instigated him to do so.

Soon, the other two arrived, and Justin Hammer said to Link, "Today we are playing thirteen cards, and I will not lose again."

"As long as you like it." Link responded with a smile.

Tony Stark sat down and said, "Ten thousand US dollars each, doubling is normal, ten million chips, no problem, right?" "No problem." All three of them said there was no problem.

The hotel staff then dealt the cards. Link lost at first and then won again, but this time he didn't lose much at first and then he won huge amounts.

This way of playing is actually similar to Texas Hold'em. Each player is dealt thirteen cards, and the jokers are discarded.

Then play the cards, whoever plays all the cards first wins. The rules for playing cards are calculated according to the rules of Texas Hold'em.

The other person will lose tens of thousands of dollars depending on how many cards they have left.

Link drank bourbon, smoked a cigar, and won easily.

Tony Stark asked curiously, "Can you still use psychology here?"

"Of course, but this is a secret." Link smiled mysteriously, "If I tell it now, how can I win?"

"That's right!" Tony Stark nodded slightly.

While playing cards, Link said, "I just asked the accounting firm to buy Stark Industries' shares yesterday. Will they appreciate in value recently?"

"Ha~ This is a wise decision." Stark smiled, "Anyway, you won't lose money."

"I think so too. After all, the tax season is coming soon and I need to prepare in advance." Link said, "It's a little hasty this time. After all, I'm a poor man who has suddenly become rich."

"I think you can handle this situation well." Stark had a good impression of Link.

This way of playing is actually not small, because there is a doubling rule. Link won more than 10 million in two hours, which is almost half of the chips of the three people.

Take a break and go to the toilet if you need to, Link doesn't need it, so he eats some snacks here.

It ended before midnight, and Link became the biggest winner again. After receiving three checks, Link gave the waiter a tip of 500 yuan.

Tony Stark then said admiringly: "You are really amazing. There is no hope of winning a card game with you."

"Can we talk now?"

The other two were also curious, so Link said, "After you three pick up the cards, the biggest flaws will be when you sort them out. The rest is up to you to figure out."

Stark frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you judging by our movements and looks?"

"Almost. And we need to count the cards. I have thirteen cards in my hand, and based on your actions, I can estimate what cards you have and how to combine them." Link's words surprised the three of them. Is this possible?
But genius is hard to understand. Stark said, "It's really amazing. You're so amazing, but why don't you dare to participate in the competition?"

"I am only a dabbler now. Those professionals may think of things that I can think of, but they may not be unable to think of them. It is even harder to find their flaws." Link said, "I still need to hone my skills. What I like most now is the technical round."

"There are many elites in New York, and they all have their own ideas. They are all good opponents."

……

After the game was over, Justin Hammer was relatively happy because Tony Stark also lost. Both of them ended in a tie and both were losers.

He also kept teasing Tony Stark, but Tony Stark was not the one in charge, so he planned to go back and use Jarvis to summarize.

As for the bank's director, he had no interest in Link and was always trying to find topics to talk about with Stark.
