"In the 4th round, my hole cards were a '10' and a ''." Chu Tianjiao said.

"'4' and '10' don't seem to be very good cards, right?" Nono frowned slightly.

"Not only is it bad, it's a complete mess. Of course, the bottom cards are bad, but my intuition tells me that I have good luck this time." Chu Tianjiao snapped his fingers, "At this time, the dealer happened to turn over the first three community cards, which are a spade 'J', a spade '7' and a spade '10'."

"That's good, at least Baozheng has a pair." Chu Zihang nodded.

"At this time, the chips on the scene have reached one million US dollars." Chu Tianjiao continued.

"Wait a minute, you mean that you bet one million dollars during the 'blind' stage?" Lu Mingfei interrupted Chu Tianjiao and asked, "In other words, you bet one million dollars with a '4' and a '10' hole cards, and you didn't know the community cards at that time?"

"Yeah, I told you, my intuition tells me that I'm lucky this time." Chu Tianjiao grinned, "I really believe in 'luck'. Although my card skills are not bad, I've seen too many masters with good card skills fall into hell because they trusted their skills too much, so I never have blind confidence in my card skills. But if my intuition tells me to die, then I'm willing to die."

Looking at Chu Tianjiao's smile, Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart again. This man was really unpredictable. He couldn't tell now whether Chu Tianjiao's actions were more intended to disturb Vincent's mood, or he was really too willful and did whatever he wanted.

"After the first three community cards were turned over, the old man bet another million chips, and I followed suit." Chu Tianjiao paused and said, "The fourth community card was turned over by the dealer, and it was a spade '4'."

"Another '4'?" Ye Sheng said with emotion, "Now you have two pairs. Your intuition is really accurate!"

"No." Chu Zihang suddenly spoke up, interrupting Ye Sheng and looking at Chu Tianjiao, "The 'J', '7' and '10' just now are all spades? The fourth '4' is also a spade?"

"Yes." Chu Tianjiao nodded.

"Then your situation is very bad." Chu Zihang shook his head and said.

"What?" Ye Sheng was puzzled. "I had very bad cards and bought two pairs. Why is the situation so bad?"

"Because the four public cards turned over on the field are all spades, this situation can easily form a 'flush' hand pattern." Chu Zihang said.

"But isn't it easy for Mr. Chu to have the same..."

Before Ye Sheng could even utter the word "Hua" in "Tong Hua", he was suddenly stunned... because he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked some prerequisites.

"No, my dad has '4' and '10' in his hand. There is only one suit of '4' and '10' in a deck of cards, and the suit of spades all appears on the public cards." Chu Zihang said, "In other words, the last card can determine the probability of my dad reaching a 'flush', and this probability is infinitely close to one-fourth. If a 'flush' does not appear, there is still a chance, but if the last public card is a spade suit, my dad will definitely lose."

Ye Sheng opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly he seemed to understand what Chu Zihang said, and then he took a deep breath.

"Why does Mr. Chu lose the game if the last card is a spade?" Jiude Aki asked, gently pulling Ye Sheng's sleeve. She had almost no knowledge of gambling cards and only had a general understanding of the rules of Texas Hold'em.

"Because a flush is bigger than two pairs." Ye Sheng swallowed his saliva and said, "If the last public card is a spade, the five public cards on the field have already formed a flush, and the 4 and the 10 have already appeared. At this time, neither a pair nor a straight is valid. In other words, Mr. Chu will never exceed the flush formed by the public cards on the field."

"And the hand pattern formed by the public cards is shared by all players." Chu Zihang nodded, and continued Ye Sheng's explanation, "That is to say, if the last public card is a spade, Vincent's guaranteed hand is also a 'flush', just like their first game. If the players have the same hand pattern at the same time, the dealer will be the winner of this game."

"No wonder!" Shude Aki showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "What if the last public card is not a spade..."

"It's dangerous even if it's not a spade." Chu Zihang shook his head and said, "Don't forget, the player still has two hole cards in his hand. A hand is made up of any number of hole cards and any number of community cards, forming five cards. There are already four spades in the community cards. Vincent only needs to hold one spade in his hand, and he has already crushed Dad in this game."

"Then Mr. Chu will definitely lose!" exclaimed Jiude Aki.

"Not really. There is still hope... but the probability is very slim." Chu Zihang looked at Chu Tianjiao, "How much did you and Vincent bet this time?"

"Not much." Chu Tianjiao said with a smile, "The old man bet 10 million US dollars."

"You followed?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Of course I will." Chu Tianjiao said matter-of-factly, "I've already said that I believe in luck. I'm lucky this round, otherwise how could the public cards turn up a '10' and a '4' in succession?"

Everyone found it difficult to understand and some even held their breath. This was a gamble of tens of millions of US dollars that was almost certain to be lost. Just hearing Chu Tianjiao's retelling was exciting enough, as if they were in a high-stakes card game. The air was filled with musk, murderous intent, and the nervous breathing of gamblers and spectators.

"When the dealer turned over the last card, I was so excited that I wanted to jump on the stool and dance." Chu Tianjiao said with a beaming face, "It was a '10'! A '10' of hearts!"

The sound of people gasping for air echoed in the empty room. No one expected that the last card would not be a spade, but a card with the same number as the bottom card!
"Full House." Chu Zihang took a deep breath. "Full House" is commonly known as "full", which consists of a "three of a kind" and a "pair"... In the rules of Texas Hold'em, the "full" just beats the "flush".

At this moment, even if Vincent had a spade suit card in his hand, which could form a "flush", he could not beat Chu Tianjiao... Unless he happened to have a spade "8" and a spade "9" in his hand, which could form a straight flush, but the probability of that was almost impossible.

The probability of buying a "4" or a "10" as the last card is also very low. Chu Zihang just calculated in his mind that there are fifty-two cards in Texas Hold'em. The four hole cards of the two players at the beginning, plus the four public cards that are revealed, there are forty-four cards left, and the remaining "4" and "10" added together, there are only 4 cards... This is the case when Vincent does not have a "4" or "10" in his hand.

With a probability of less than 9%, I really don't know whether to say that Chu Tianjiao is a man of great skill and courage, or a fool with good fortune.

"Did Vincent finally buy a straight flush?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"Of course... no." Chu Tianjiao smiled. "The old guy stared at the last '10' for a long time. I could see his hands pinching the dealer's legs under the table. He was silent for a long time and then said, 'This round, he looked at me and said he would not raise the bet. How about everyone open it this way?' I stretched out a hand, smiled at the old guy and said, 'All in.'"

"All in" means to bet all your remaining chips at once. At the gambling table, "All in" is almost equivalent to risking your life.

"The old man's expression changed again and again. Finally, after looking at me deeply, he threw his cards face up on the table, which meant he discarded them." Chu Tianjiao said, "A '4' of diamonds and an '8' of spades, it is indeed a 'flush'. What a pity."

"He almost bought a 'straight flush'." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "Vincent is a man of courage and has the courage to fold with such a hand."

"The old guy is really courageous. After I showed him my cards, his face looked better. He stared at me and asked if I was so confident that I could get a '4' or a '10' with the last card?" Chu Tianjiao said, "I said, isn't that what gambling is all about? If you only believe in probability and skills, don't go to the gambling table. If you go to the table, you must be mentally prepared... Either eat or be eaten."

"Uncle, you are more courageous!" Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Vincent also said it was either eat or be eaten. The old guy looked more serious. He waved his hand, and the girls took the syringe and injected it into his arm. I guess it was some kind of adrenaline." Chu Tianjiao continued, "I won 12 million US dollars in this round. Excluding the 2 million I lost to the old guy before, I won 10 million US dollars. According to the agreement, I can ask him a question that he can't refuse to answer."

"Isn't it that the question you're asking is about the Nibelungen?" Chu Zihang said.

"The ancients said that no one knows a father better than his son. You understand me, son." Chu Tianjiao blinked at Chu Zihang in a cheesy way, and then said, "I asked the old man where the Nibelungen appeared. I stared into his deep eyes. I could tell at a glance whether he was lying or expecting something."

"How did he answer?" Chu Zihang asked. Everyone was concerned about this question.

"He said... What is 'Nibelungen'?" Chu Tianjiao showed a helpless expression on his face. "The old man looked confused. I can see that he is not lying. The other people in the room are also unfamiliar with this term. But I don't understand why the old man even knows Kassel Academy, but he doesn't know Nibelungen? How many half-bloods in this world have never heard of Nibelungen?"

Chu Zihang turned his head and looked at Lu Mingfei. They were also confused. Vincent sounded like a small leader of a mixed-race organization. In order to find a Nibelung, he bought the "Yamal" and floated in the Arctic Circle all year round... But who would have thought that this guy didn't even know what the Nibelung was?
"I was wondering if the Yamal had strayed into a very strange place before, where the heaven and earth... At this point, the old man's face suddenly changed, as if he had heard some taboo words, and he interrupted me fiercely." Chu Tianjiao's expression was a little strange, "He said that my question had been asked before, but he didn't know what the Nibelung was, so he couldn't answer me. He swore that he didn't lie, but the 10 million US dollar stake was only enough to ask one question. If I want to continue asking questions, I have to beat him at the gambling table."

"The old guy is quite principled." Lu Mingfei said, "And then?"

"Then I continued to gamble with the old man." Chu Tianjiao said, "My chips were 60 million. We gambled seven more rounds. After seven rounds, I only had 2 million chips left."

Everyone's expression changed, because in their opinion, Chu Tianjiao was a rational guy with superb gambling skills. Although he always talked about "luck", it was too miserable for him to lose 60 million US dollars all the way to 2 million.

"You lost all seven games?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao with eyes wide open, "Your luck is gone? Just one game?"

"No, my luck has always been there, but it told me that the outcome will be decided in the 24th round." Chu Tianjiao grinned, "It just so happens that 24 is my lucky number."

"So, Vincent asked you five questions in total?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"Well, he asked about my name, my background, the organization I belonged to, my abilities, and my purpose." Chu Tianjiao shrugged. "They were all insignificant things. I told him that my name is Chu Tianjiao, I'm from China, I don't belong to any organization, my ability is "Time Zero", and my purpose is to find the Nibelungen."

"The old guy seemed very interested in 'Time Zero' and Nibelungen. He asked me to explain the meaning of these two terms." Chu Tianjiao rolled his eyes. "I said he only had five questions, so I only answered five times. After answering, I have no obligation to explain anything to him again."

Vincent rejected Chu Tianjiao in the same way just now. It can be seen that Chu Tianjiao is quite vindictive.

"What happened next?" Chu Zihang asked as he calculated. "You only have two million dollars. You have to win at least five games in a row and go 'All in' every game to win your stake in the sixteenth game."

"Who said I only have two million?" Chu Tianjiao suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, "A real gambler would not put all his chips on the table at the beginning. Fifty million is just what I won on this ship. I never said that my gambling money is only this little."

"Didn't you say you brought a hundred US dollars on board the ship?" Chu Zihang frowned slightly.

"That's right, I only have a hundred dollars, I'm so poor." Chu Tianjiao nodded, took out a black card from somewhere, and slowly pushed it in front of everyone, "But I can borrow it."
