Extraordinary pedigree

Deli's black and white eyes flashed with a different luster at this time. When the blond young man in front of him talked to him in the form of a transaction, he saw the price the other party gave him for this order.

【1 million [basic assets]! 】

The requirements for this order are also very simple. They just use the [Sphinx] to provide information on some questions. During the inquiry process, the blond young man ensured that the entire inquiry followed the "Financial Law".

"Don't refuse in a hurry. According to your current partner authority, you can get half of the one-million-dollar order. You also know that the economies of Terra's countries are very unstable recently, and black goat incidents are happening one after another. Although the currency has not depreciated on a large scale, and the two-way circulation of extraordinary and real people has not yet encountered major problems, but now discerning people have felt the increasingly tense international situation and the increasing number of extraordinary events, and smart people have begun to [realize assets] ].

The balanced leverage created by [Basic Assets] and [Extraordinary Assets] in [Financial Street] has begun to tilt.

If you think about it, half a million [basic assets] can be obtained with just a nod of your head, and this is also a huge sum of money for a wage earner. Moreover, although you are a partner of a headhunting company, you are essentially working part-time. "

The blond young man's index finger tapped rhythmically on the gaming table, with a brilliant smile on his handsome face. His words were obviously so sincere, but they were full of deception.

This kind of bewitchment is like a bait in the dark, using its confusing charm to arouse the greedy soul and entangle it deeply, inducing him to make a decision.

The Adélie Penguin took a big puff of the cigar in his hand, and his long beak was spitting out mist. At this moment, he had already noticed what the blond young man might be doing with the [Sphinx], and there was a high probability that the other party would will succeed.

"Mr. Derry, would you like to have a bet? I heard that Adélie penguins have great luck in gambling. I really want to see them."

Before Adélie Penguin could respond, Xia Xiu first extended a gambling invitation to Delhi.

[Casino: [Van Helsing] has invited you to gamble (Texas Hold’em)! 】

[Do you want to accept it? 】

【whether】

"Life is like gambling, Mr. Derry, you don't have to gamble, but you can't not gamble."

The blond young man smiled and tossed two [10,000] chips, attracting the attention of the Adélie Penguin.

Derry thought about it, and finally chose to accept it.

How could he be led by the young brat in front of him? From the moment he entered the venue and sat down naturally, to the time he recharged and exchanged 1.5 million chips to show his financial strength, the blond young man in front of him had been controlling the situation and leading the invisible movement. The "potential" in.

Now, Delhi wants to break the opponent's "momentum".

"Okay, take a gamble."

[The bet is established! 】

When the bet was established, [Financial Beast·Spade-10], who was wearing a gorgeous red dress, raised his right hand holding a deck of playing cards and began to deal out the cards. His clown-like face was already smiling. The flowers have arrived.

The process of Texas Hold'em is actually not complicated. In two-player Texas Hold'em, players will use a standard deck of 52 playing cards (minus the big and small ghosts). The basic rules and flow of the game are similar to the multiplayer game, but there will be some tweaks.

For example, the settings for the blinds (small blind and big blind) may need to be adjusted to ensure the game continues.

[The card dealing stage! 】

The cheerful [Spade-10] began to deal the cards. When poker starts, each player will get two private cards, also called hand cards or pocket cards. These cards can only be seen by themselves.

Two cards appeared in front of Xia Xiu, and he casually opened the cards in his hand.

Fortunately, I got a [pair] together at the beginning.

The cards in Xia Xiu's hand now are a pair of 7s of different suits, which he never expected.

The hand sizes in Texas Hold'em from strongest to weakest are as follows:

Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, High Card.

The outcome of the game is determined by the card type: if two players have the same card type, then the card with the highest value, the second highest value card, and so on will be compared to determine the outcome. If all cards are the same, it's a draw.

Xia Xiu used to go fishing in [Financial Street]... Well, when he was having fun, the biggest card he ever opened was a full house. As for a straight flush or a royal flush, he never opened it once.

[Start placing blind bets. 】

"Let me place the big blind, one hundred thousand." Xia Xiu smiled and pushed out part of the chips.

Blinds: In two-player Texas Hold'em, a small blind and a big blind are usually set. The small blind is paid by one player, while the big blind is paid by another player. These blinds are the starting bets and ensure that there are chips circulating in the game. During the blind stage, players are usually not allowed to bet their entire stack (i.e. stud). Stud means betting all your chips in one round, and this behavior is not allowed during the blind stage.

In Texas Hold'em, the blind bet is the initial bet, designed to ensure a certain amount of chips are circulated in the game and provide a basis for subsequent bets. Normally, players during the blind stage can only choose to call (the same amount of chips as the current bet), raise (increase the bet), or fold (give up the current situation).

After the big blind is placed, the small blind is usually one-half of the big blind.

Delhi looked at the card [Spade-10] dealt to him, and couldn't help but grasp the card surface.

The cards he holds are pretty bad right now.

7 and 2 of different suits. This is the current hand of the Adélie Penguins.

The reason why they still follow the bet is, of course, that every gambler has a belief, that is, the opponent's hand may be worse than his own, and these guys just like to show off.

The probability involved in the game of poker is not shown for the time being.

In two-person poker, it considers the psychological game more than the calculation of probability. For example, when placing a blind bet, it is the first round of the game.

The blind bet in the first round of the game involves a strategy commonly used in poker, [stealing the chicken].

[Chicken Stealing] refers to raising or betting to win the blind as much as possible without having to show your hand.

This usually happens when the blinds are on your turn and no other player has followed, by betting a relatively small amount in an attempt to get other players to give up their hands, thereby winning the blinds.

The goal of [stealing chicken] is to take advantage of your opponent's caution and weak card strength to gain access to the pot by raising or betting without showing your hand. If [stealing the chicken is successful], you will increase your chip pile and gain a certain amount of profit without any real card strength.

But now it’s two-person poker, so it’s impossible to [steal the chicken], because in a two-person game, you usually need to rely more on your own card strength and strategy to win.

[Betting is completed, entering the flop! 】

Flop: After the first round of betting, the hole card round begins.

The dealer turns over three community cards and places them on the table. These cards are called [flop cards] or [community cards]. At the same time, the remaining two cards are moved to the next two rounds for turning over.

Now, the three [community cards] turned over are:

[Spade·7], [Heart·K], [Diamond·2].

When [the community cards] unfolded, the second round of competition had already begun.

In the modern world, gamblers would analyze their enemies by observing their enemies' expressions, cards in their hands, betting chips, etc. But in a casino on [Financial Street], it would be even more interesting.

When the [community card] was revealed, both parties on the gambling table dishonestly launched a secret confrontation at the same time.

Dong dong dong——

Xia Xiu's hand on the gambling table was tapping the table rhythmically. While tapping, a powerful meme element spread under the gaze of [Spade-10], and the huge ARad field was instantly distorted. In reality, three sharp and abnormal thinking weapons were fired at three different groups.

【Don Quixote·Activate! 】

[Orientation-thinking influence! ]

[Not oriented - strong thinking influence! ]

[Not oriented - weak thinking influence! ]

[Orientation - Thought Influence] This invisible and qualityless thinking weapon directly hit several dishonest onlookers behind Xia Xiu. These guys openly started to activate [Peeping Eyes], [Thought Reading], [Appearance Withdrawal] waited for thaumaturgy to peek at his hand, and he responded with an unceremonious attack.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Some of the spectators sitting far away from Xia Xiu suddenly became extremely dull in their eyes, and then they slapped themselves in the face of everyone's surprised gazes.

This is [orientation-thinking influence], which triggers contradictory thinking processes and guides the thinking subject to transfer this thinking contradiction to the concrete objects existing in his consciousness, thereby temporarily manipulating and commanding others.

The unlucky dealer, [Spade-10], was hit by another weapon called the thinking weapon, [Undirected-Strong Thought Influence]. When he was seen by the thinking weapon, the perverted smile on his face instantly changed. stop.

With a snap, the happiness was gone, and he felt a little dizzy at the moment.

If it were the [Financial Beast·Spade-10] in the federal casino capital of Edici, Xia Xiu might not dare to attack the opponent so blatantly, but now he is in [France Island], so he just gave it to him Come and strike a blow, so that the opponent's next dealing of cards should not be full of bad taste, and just act as a card dealing machine honestly.

As for the last thinking weapon, [non-directional-weak thinking influence], it is naturally impossible to target Delhi.

Casinos have casino rules. You can use thaumaturgy, but you must comply with the rules. Some direct attacks are prohibited (it doesn’t matter if you attack financial monsters, you won’t die anyway). For example, you can’t blow your opponent’s head off with a gun and win directly. victory.

This is a casino, not the Colosseum.

Xia Xiu's [Undirected - Weak Thought Influence] shot was actually fired at the [Sight Distance Perspective] Mimusu launched in the air above the gambling table, and then detonated.

These two kinds of thaumaturgy can only be regarded as interference thaumaturgy. As long as it is not too excessive, the regular energy inside the casino will not stop it.

The purpose of Xia Xiu's [Undirected - Weak Thought Influence] is not only to destroy Delhi's Mimu Su, but it also has another effect.

The main ability of [Undirected - Weak Thinking Influence] is that weak mental influence causes the thinking subject to experience symptoms such as confusion, decreased concentration, confused thinking, and decreased ability to deal with problems.

At the moment when the thinking weapon exploded, the weak mental influence had spread, and the blond young man squinted his eyes, watching Delhi's every move like a hunter watching his prey, watching everything about him.

Deli was not too surprised that his meme was exploded. At this time, his pupils beamed with joy, and his eyes were unconsciously placed on [Spade·7] and [Diamond·2].

This joy actually disappeared quickly, and the blond young man who had been tapping the gaming table with his index finger smiled.

The old gamblers are all actors. If they want to pull something out of their expressions, they always have to use some defense-breaking skills to tear apart their acting skills. The proliferation of thinking weapons can allow Xia Xiu to gain from the moment the opponent breaks the defense. The message you want.

Dong dong dong——

Xia Xiu's index finger tapped the table rhythmically.

[Spade·7], [Diamond·2], the opponent made no secret of his gaze on these two cards.

The remaining two 7s are in my hand, which means that the opponent now holds a [Club · 7] and another 2 of a random suit.

The opponent can now form [two pairs] (two pairs of cards of the same value, plus any one card), and I can form [trips], if there are no surprises in the subsequent [turn] and [river] , there is a high probability that he will not be able to do anything fancy. However, he will probably try to [bluff] me to win.

The thoughts in Xia Xiu's mind were spinning rapidly, and now the second round of betting began.

[The second round of betting begins! 】

"Boy, looking at your smile, it looks like your cards are pretty good." Deli flipped the cards in his hand and said sideways to Xia Xiu.

"It's okay. I think I can continue to raise this card. Do you want to follow?"

Xia Xiu smiled, then took out 200,000 chips and pushed them out.

Dery stared at the handsome face of the blond young man and couldn't figure out for a moment whether the other party was [bluffing] him or whether he really had a good card.

"Follow me!"

Delhi also introduced chips to keep up with Xia Xiu's pace.

【Turn card·Start! 】

Turn: After the second round of betting, the dealer turns over the fourth [community card], which is called the [turn] or [fourth street].

[Diamond·K]

Deli looked at the card expressionlessly, and his peripheral vision kept observing the blond young man opposite him. The smile on the other person's face did not change at all, and the index finger that was tapping the table was still the same as before. So rhythmic and smooth.

[Three strips] + [Pair], one big and one small, really made a [gourd]. Xia Xiu was happy in his heart.

I really had a blast today.

[The third round of betting begins! 】

After [the turn] comes the third round of betting.

"Mr. Delhi, do you want us to play something big?" Xia Xiu said with a smile at Delhi.

"What?" Derry asked the blond young man in confusion.

Clang——

The blond young man pushed out all the chips, then spread his hands and showed a brilliant smile to the Adélie Penguin who was holding the cards tightly.

"I'm stud, Mr. Derry, will you follow?"
