Star Trace Gate

In the central corridor of the casino hall, there are various expensive-looking murals and artworks hanging, which give people a feeling of extravagance and extreme luxury.

"Sir, please come with me."

A beautiful croupier bowed in a standard manner, then smiled at Ren Ye and said, "I'll take you to the gambling room."

"it is good."

Ren nodded and followed.

On the way to the gambling house, he looked around carefully and found that there were many forks in the road. There was a horizontal corridor every two rooms. The terrain looked very regular and orderly.

This place is like a large business KTV, with number plates hanging on each door of the same shape.

After walking for a while, he came to the door of a gambling room in the left half. There was a number 26 hanging on the door.

"Please come in." The beautiful croupier with an almost flawless appearance quietly opened the door and said to Ren Ye, "After entering, just wait."

"it is good."

He nodded slowly and walked into the room.

The moment the door closed, the lights in the room dimmed a little.

Ren also looked up, and what came into view was a wall of mirrors, about five meters away from the door. The mirror surface was smooth and the reflected scene was very clear.

Looking down, there was a half-empty gambling table in the middle of the room, with sweat towels, fruits, and an ashtray on the table.

Why do we say it is half a gambling table?

Because from a symmetrical perspective, this gambling table looks like it has been cut in half from top to bottom by the mirror wall.

Ren Ye looked at the strange interior layout and vaguely guessed that there should be a room of the same proportions behind the mirror wall, and the person sitting there in a while should be his opponent.

The room was about five meters long and three meters wide, so it wasn't actually small. But the half gambling table took up two-thirds of the area, leaving only a narrow aisle, making the entire space seem very cramped. The lights were dim and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

After Ren looked around, he sat on a chair outside the gambling table.

To be honest, he was a little nervous and excited now, and his heart was pounding.

Gambling and stealing are both illegal acts, but they are a little different from other crimes. They require very special courage and psychological qualities.

For example, a robber may dare to hurt someone with a knife, but he may not dare to steal. When he really steals, he will be nervous, his hands will tremble, and he will be unable to control himself. The same is true for gambling. You see those big bosses, facing millions of business games, they can be calm and unmoved, but when gambling, they often don’t have this mentality, they will sweat profusely, and when they see good cards, they may not be as calm as an old gambler, and they may even curse.

Although Ren Ye had come into contact with many gamblers in border areas and prisons, he was not good at this, so it was inevitable that he was a little excited at this moment.

"I'm just here to play a supporting role. Don't be excited. Listen to my beloved concubine. If you keep calm, you will win."

He adjusted his mental state, sat on a chair, picked up an apple and started eating.

After waiting for a while, a strange scene happened.

"Wa~!"

The mirror wall not far away suddenly rippled like water waves, and a woman unexpectedly came through the "wall" from the opposite side. She was the dealer who led the way before.

Ren was also stunned for a moment, but said nothing.

"Sir, your opponent has arrived. He is right across from you. But after the game starts, you can't see each other, nor can you hear each other speak. This mirror will block everything. There are currently 32 players participating in the game of changing fate, so there will be no byes in the first round. The system of 16 to will be adopted." The dealer smiled and said, "Okay, now, I will tell you the rules of the game. Please listen carefully."

"it is good."

"There are ten bets in this round. In the first bet, 100 chips are used as the base, in the second, 200 chips, in the third, 400 chips, and so on, the base increases exponentially. The highest base in the tenth bet is 51200 chips. The betting rule for each bet is that it cannot be less than the current base chips. For example, if you want to bet in the fourth bet, it must be at least 800, and there is no upper limit. You can even bet all the chips of the opponent behind." The dealer smiled and said, "Each player can also use his or her base chips to make an additional bet or supplementary bet. When you decide to use it, I will tell you the detailed rules. Do you understand?"

"understood."

After Ren Ye heard this rule, he instantly understood the "cruel" mechanism of changing one's fate.

The exponential growth of the bottom line is definitely to avoid the situation where someone with more chips relies on his own accumulation to delay time and survive to the last round.

This is indeed a fairer approach, because no one will fold or play badly every time. However, the one with more chips will have a bigger backhand, which still gives him a certain advantage.

"After ten rounds, the one with the most chips wins and advances to the next round. If either party loses all their chips during the game, the other party immediately wins and advances." The dealer added.

"I see." Ren nodded.

The dealer stood in the mirrored wall, and seemed to be split in half. He politely asked the opposite room: "Dear players, we will start now."

Ren didn't hear what the other party said in reply.

Three seconds later, the dealer raised her hand and a stack of playing cards appeared in her palm. With her right hand on top, she slid the playing cards between her index and middle fingers, and dealt three cards to Ren Ye and his opponent respectively using the cross method.

"call!"

Ren Ye let out a long breath, lowered his head, and touched the cards on the table with both hands.

Under the dim light, he looked carefully and saw that the three cards... were 236.

In the entire size ranking of the Golden Flower, if there is no saying that 235 takes all, then 236 is the second smallest; if there is, it is the smallest.

"?!"

Ren Ye's eyes instantly collapsed: "Fuck, what kind of luck is this."

"Would you like to raise your bet?" the dealer asked.

"Forget it, let's spare his life."

Ren also folded and bet two hundred again.

The second time, three cards flew in front of him again.

"call!"

Ren Ye adjusted his breathing and grabbed it instantly.

568, three cards, three suits.

8 big ones.

Damn it! I suspect that the gatekeeper is taking revenge on me because I cheated before!

……

In gambling room No. 17.

The beautiful dealer looked at Lao Liu and whispered, "Second round, first bet, the other party adds 500, do you want to follow?"

Old Liu looked at the K89 of different colors in his hand with a frown on his face.

"You have one minute to think about it." The beautiful dealer reminded.

Old Liu still didn't reply, but took advantage of this minute to think.

He was born in the underworld and had some gambler friends around him. Although he himself was not good at gambling, he learned a little more about gambling than other players because of what he saw and heard.

If you have a lot of chips, you can't just rely on luck, you have to play to your greatest advantage.

Furthermore, you must not let the other party easily seize the opportunity and eat your chips.
