Chapter 364: The Gambler
After sitting down, the teahouse apprentice showed an expression of great satisfaction and comfort on his face.

His body was shaking as he laughed out loud, “Hahaha! After many years, I finally sit at this gambling table again. My gambling skills have reached perfection and it’s hard to find an opponent. For a long time, no one dared to play against me. Now, I finally have two warriors who are willing to sit at the table with me.”

His appearance began to change from a waiter in a teahouse.

He turned into a man covered in black, with his face unclear. It is worth mentioning that there were only four fingers left on both of his hands, and the little finger had traces of being neatly cut off.

He looked at Su Ming and Wang, with a smug smile on his face: “Let me introduce myself first. I’m Qian Lao San, nicknamed the death-seeking gambler. I’ve never lost at the gambling table.”

“Since you invited me to the table, then according to the rules of the gambling table, everyone at the table must agree when to end the game.”

[You have touched the taboo of “Gambling in Shouzheng Teahouse”]

[Current cumulative number of taboos touched: 23]

A prompt for the thriller game appears, indicating that they have triggered this taboo.

There are a total of twenty-four taboos in the ancient town.

Now the twenty-third has been triggered, and only one more is left to trigger all of them.

Qian Laosan looked at Su Ming and Wang, trying to see some fear and dread on their faces.

However, both the man and the skeleton were very calm and were not frightened by him.

Could it be that these two are also top players at the poker table, so they are not afraid of the challenge from me?
The expression on Qian Lao San’s face began to become more serious: “Seeing how calm you two are, it seems that you are both masters. Good! Very good! I, Qian Lao San, like to fight with masters the most! Let me see how good your skills are!”

Wang had long realized that there was something wrong with this person.

After all, a normal person would be somewhat surprised to see him like this, but this apprentice who came in to the teahouse did not have any special reaction at all.

Just from this point of view, Wang could feel that something was wrong with the other party.

He was a little confused as to what this person wanted to do, but he didn’t need to understand because Su Ming was right next to him, so he just had to do whatever he was told to do.

“Tea is coming~”

At this time, another teahouse apprentice came in carrying a long-mouthed kettle.

After coming in and looking at the situation in the room, my legs couldn’t help but tremble.

There was clearly only one person when he came in just now, so how come there is another skeleton now, and that notorious gambler?

He knew what the murderous gambler looked like. Sometimes when a customer fell into his trap, the murderous gambler would appear, and as a waiter in the teahouse, he could see what the gambler looked like.

As long as it is not involved in the gambling game, the other party will not attack other people, so it is not too dangerous.

But this skeleton was the first time he had seen it.

In line with the professional principle of providing good service, he stepped forward to help pour tea.

Qian Laosan glanced at him and laughed strangely: “Hehe! How much money can you make as an apprentice in a teahouse? If you want to make big money, you still have to play cards. There’s a seat here, why don’t you sit down and play for a while?”

The teahouse apprentice shook his head frantically: “No, I never get involved in this kind of thing.”

“Oh, it’s really boring without any courage.” Qian Laosan shook his head and sighed while shuffling the cards in a fancy way. His technique was quite professional. He used the remaining eight fingers to play with the cards in various ways in his hand. This skill was enough for him to perform on the streets or join an acrobatic troupe.

The teahouse apprentice shook his head frantically, poured the tea, and left quickly.

Qian Lao San asked: “Then, shall we start now?”

“If you want to bet, how about using your fingers as chips? Every time the cards are opened, put at least one finger as a chip.”

“If you lose, your fingers belong to the other party. Once all your fingers are lost, it means you have lost everything and you need to meet any demands of the winner.”

“Hey, I’m giving you this. After all, I only have eight fingers, and you all have ten.”

Su Ming raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, “Of course there is no problem. Having two extra fingers is a big advantage.” In this kind of gambling game, the deeper the chips you carry, the higher the tolerance and the greater the possibility of winning.

It is because of this principle that the average gambler has too few chips compared to the dealer. If they continue playing, they will inevitably lose everything.

On the surface, Qian Laosan used eight fingers to challenge Su Ming and Wang, who used a total of twenty fingers. The probability of winning was really small.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that no one cheats.

“Okay! Then who will draw the cards first for the first time? Me first? Okay.”

Qian Laosan spread the playing cards on the tea table, pulled out a card at random, placed it face down on the table, and held it in front of himself to examine it.

After reading it, he showed a very exaggerated smile on his face: “What a big card! It’s your turn!”

He has seen that the card in his hand is an old “A”. According to the rules of copper flower making, “A” is the biggest card.

In other words, he was already invincible in this round.

Qian Lao San thought for a moment and then opened his bid: “Two fingers.”

He didn’t dare bid too high, for fear of scaring the other party away.

Su Ming casually drew one, without even looking at it, and shouted, “Eight.”

Following Su Ming’s instructions, Skeleton Soldier Wang made a direct choice: “Pass.”

It was Qian Laosan’s turn again. He frowned, unable to figure out why the other party had the courage to directly press down all the fingers in his hand.

Why did this matter of life and death become so casual to him?

Is there some mystery hidden in this?
Qian Laosan was puzzled. According to the rules explained before, he was now invincible.

In that case, there is no need to hesitate!

He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, then I’ll bet eight fingers with you.”

Su Ming nodded: “Let’s open the cards and see who wins and who loses.”

Qian Laosan turned over his cards, an old “A”, and then stared at the cards in Su Ming’s hand: “You only have an ‘A’ at most, how can you still beat me?”

When Su Ming turned over the card on the table, he saw “SSS” written on it.

His face showed deep surprise, and he took a breath of cold air: “Hiss – it’s actually an SSS card with a drop rate of only one in ten million!”

“I admit that your old ‘A’ is big enough, but this SSS card is even better than your A card. Unfortunately, you lose!”

Qian Laosan’s eyes widened, bloodshot, and his features were distorted with anger: “Where is the SSS card in the poker?”

“You’re not cheating, you’re directly insulting me! You’re humiliating this game of cards!”

As he spoke, hands stretched out from behind him and he instantly transformed into Qian Lao San, the Thousand-Handed One.

He had done many cheating things. The two fingers missing from his hands were chopped off because of cheating.

As long as you are not caught in the act, you are not cheating.

Since becoming a demon, his sleight of hand has evolved from a technique into a special ability.

It is because of this that he has never lost in gambling with others.

He never imagined that this human being could do such an outrageous thing.
