Silver Crystal Flower [Interstellar]

In a dimly lit room, a man shakes out the ashes from his cigar and says, "You're lucky"

Sure enough, the other party has been observing him!

Heruklin pinched his thigh under the table and forced himself to calm down. His tone was calm, as if he was very calm, "It's okay."

"But luck alone can't beat me."

At some point in the man's hand, there was an extra deck of cards, and he played them forward and backward. Only then did Heruklin notice that the man's hands were beautiful, with slender fingers and protruding knuckles. The strength is very precise, the speed is even, and the cards are distinct. After playing, the cards are straight, neither bending inward nor outward.

Heruklin's intuition told him that the man in front of him was not bluffing, he would lose, and he would lose completely.

But it doesn't matter if you lose, Heruklin showed his signature smile, and said indifferently: "Try it and you will know."

The man threw the poker in front of Heruklin and said, "Check the cards."

This is the rule on the gambling table. The two sides take turns to check the cards, and finally the dealer checks them again in front of the two to prevent anyone from cheating.

Usually before the start of the game, cards are drawn and compared to determine the order of checking cards.Generally speaking, the last person to check the cards will have an advantage, because the people in front will inevitably leave some traces on the card surface after touching the cards. convenient.

Being able to give up the second place without hesitation can only show that he is very confident, absolutely confident.

How to check cards quickly and accurately is also a skill, but a layman like He Lu Kelin does not have this skill.

Geinhaili noticed Heruklin's hesitation, and he said, "It's okay. You are a novice, but you can lower his vigilance."

Heruklin could only count the cards clumsily. The man was very patient, waiting for him to check the number of cards slowly, and touched each card thoroughly from beginning to end.

The high-end cards have a smooth feel and fine texture. In the era when all paper items are digitized, high-end gambling games still insist on using traditional paper poker, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and easy to cheat, just because the feel of playing cards is really exciting. Can't stop.

Helu Kelin counted it carefully, and handed over the cards to the dealer after confirming that they were correct. The opponent's movements were faster than him. He flicked forwards and flicked backwards. The deformation of the cards completely disappeared, and he lay on the table obediently. , tightly stitched.

The man asked, "One hundred million?"

Heruklin nodded solemnly.

The dealer took out a stack of red chips that were exactly the same as those used downstairs, ten for each person, and one for 1000 million, and put them into the pools on both sides.

Then the man waved his hand to signal the dealer to open.

After two hole cards, Heruklin's 3 and 2 of hearts, the dealer turned over three community cards, 3 of clubs, 7 of clubs, and 10 of spades.

Heruklin's cards are not very good.

The dealer continued to flop, the ace of spades.

Hruklin played with the chips in his hand and said, "You haven't told me your name yet."

The man replied: "Before asking someone else's name, it is the most basic courtesy to announce your name."

After hesitating for less than a second between his real name and pseudonym, Heruklin decided to test it first, "You have observed me for so long, and you still don't know my name?"

The man smiled, not being fooled, "Do you think I know?"

Heruklin: "..." He guessed he knew.

The dealer draws the last community card, the 8 of diamonds.

The man turned out his hole cards, which were two 7s.

"I lost." Heruklin threw the cards into the pool casually, leaned back on the chair, and shrugged pretending to be indifferent.

The dealer took away the corresponding chips, and Heruklin's table was cleared.

A billion was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Heruklin took a sip of the cigar, the nutty aroma rolled back and forth in his body, and left from his mouth and nose, as if he had carried away the anxiety and anxiety in his heart.

After losing all the money, the burden on his heart was relieved, and he gradually calmed down, somewhat understanding Ge Yinhaili's plan.

Hrukling said, "I am Hrukling Bega."

The man hummed without any surprise on his face, "The head of the Black Dragon Legion is famous."

Knowing that he had made the right bet, Heruklin stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "Are you Barlow Ellan, the owner of Sabri?"

The man nodded and admitted his identity with a smile.

Hruklin asked again: "Since you know who I am, do you know why I came here?"

Ba Luoyi smiled meaningfully, his eyebrows were deep, and there was always a sinister taste when he laughed, which made people's scalp tingle, "Is it to stop a deal of mine?"

Heruklin was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. Other people in the communicator were also paying attention to their conversation. Noren said, "He really knows Jialan."

Lin Yunting said: "He may know where Jia Lan is."

Barlow knew the identity of Heru Kelin and the purpose of He Ru Kelin and others, but he took the initiative to bite the bait thrown by He Ru Kelin, appeared in front of He Ru Kelin, and took the initiative to mention the relationship with Jialan. The transaction shows that he is not completely from Jialan's side!

It is not difficult to understand that a smart businessman will never put all his eggs in one basket.In the face of this kind of person, what you have to do is to let him see the benefits that your basket can bring to him.

"No, I'm actually here to negotiate a deal with you," said Hrukling.

Barlow picked up a cigar again, cut off the end of the cigarette himself, and signaled the dealer to light it. His movements were elegant and skillful, completely different from a layman like Heruklin, and the cigar between his fingers seemed to have become a cigar of its own. A part of his body is inseparable from him, just like a person has five sense organs and limbs, and flowers, plants and trees have roots, flowers and fruits, it is very natural.

He smiled, "I'm sorry, the transaction is first-come, first-served. This is the foundation of a businessman's trust. I must remain loyal to my customers."

"He was more of a businessman than a gambler," Ginghali said.

Helu Kelin understood Ge Yinhaili's deep meaning, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Barlow, "Then what about gambling? It also pays attention to first-come, first-served?"

Barlow let out a breath, squinted his eyes, and the spiraling smoke couldn't stop the sharp shrewdness inside, "Gambling is gambling, business is business, and they can't be confused. But to be honest, I don't really like business. This kind of thing that comes and goes is really troublesome, how can gambling be so exciting?"

Knowing that there was something to be done, Heruklin immediately said, "Why don't we gamble again? Just bet on this business, how about it?"

Barlow smiled and asked, "I'd be happy to pay this chip. But since it's a gamble, there must be equal chips at both ends of the table. What if you lose? What can you pay me?"

Helu Kelin was taken aback for a moment, he was not sure whether the "you" that Barlow said was referring to Lin Yunting who appeared in the casino together just now, or everyone including Ge Yinhaili.

"what do you want?"

"Personally, cash is certainly the most convenient thing," Barlow said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Heruklin's optical brain suddenly rang.

Helu Kelin guessed that it was Ge Yinhaili who transferred the money. He was already mentally prepared, but his expression changed after he turned on the optical brain and saw the first unread message.

He counted three times before he dared to confirm, the combination of 1 at the beginning and 0 at the end...

Heruklin wiped his face. In this short day, he has been hurt several times by bourgeois luxury and indulgence. He is very tired and wants to be quiet.

He looked up at Barlow, "One billion... how about it?"

Barlow didn't seem to have expected Gein Haili to be so generous, and he was surprised: "You are worthy of being the marshal of the alliance. I admire your courage."

His deep eyes looked at Heruklin, his gaze was scorching, but he didn't stay on Heruklin, as if he was looking at the person behind him through Heruklin——

Geinhaili felt his gaze from the monitor.

A chill ran down Heruklin's spine, and he couldn't help but be thankful that the other party was not from Jialan, otherwise they might never return from their trip to Sabri.

It's actually a good thing for both parties to be frank and open.Geinhaili asked Heruklin to open the communicator and talk directly to Barlow: "If we lose, you will take the billion. But if we win, you must tell me where Garan is."

Barlow smiled slightly, "The game is established."
