Chapter 3792: A New Addition (408)
The open card was a 6 of Clubs. There was room for risk-taking.
Opposite him, a 10 of Hearts. Qingjiu had already shown the cards to Black Panther through the camera. Gu Jinglian observed Black Panther’s face closely. He was expressionless. For a moment, he could not figure out the value of his hidden card, whether it was high or low.
“Hit.” Gu Jinglian called for a card.
The dealer dealt an open card. 2 of Hearts. Too low. A total of 17 points.
Black Panther, however, was holding back. This proved that the cards in his hand must be above 18. He didn’t dare call for another card. If he did, there was a good chance he would bust.
Gu Jinglian had 17 points, so it was easy for him to bust. However, if he didn’t call for another card, he would definitely lose.
Gu Jinglian called for another card. ‘Hit.’
A 3 of Clubs.
20 points.
Unless the hidden card in Black Panther’s hand was an Ace. But the odds of that happening were slim.
At best, this was a draw.
On the other side, Black Panther called for a card. It was an open card, 5 of Hearts. His expression turned ugly.
He busted.
The cards were flipped open. As expected, Black Panther busted.
The hidden card was a 7, the open card a 10. Panther might have wanted to take a chance, but he hadn’t been so lucky and busted his hand.
Gu Jinglian’s bidding had agitated him. He was worried that the total value of his cards would be too low, so he took the risk.
Black Panther looked hostile. “Huh! Lucky you!”
Gu Jinglian’s lips curled coldly.
21 points was not a matter purely based on luck, but also on the ability to figure out statistics, as well as the total points of the other party’s cards, and even the psychological warfare.
Black Panther was not steady enough. In the past, if he had not relied on cheating, how could he have walked away with so much money?
In terms of pure card skills, Gu Jinglian did not take him seriously at all.
The dealer dealt the cards again. The hidden card in Gu Jinglian’s hand was a 10. The open card was a 3. The open card in Black Panther’s hand was a 7. The hidden card was unknown, but Black Panther called for a card. This meant that the hidden card in his hand must be of low value.
He was dealt an open card, 4 of Spades. Black Panther clearly looked dissatisfied. This meant that the number of points in his hand sat mid-way. It was neither high nor low. If he called for a card, it could easily bust. If he did not, it would probably be too low.
This meant that the cards in his hand probably sat between 17 and 19 points.
He still had a chance.
“Hit.”
Gu Jinglian called for another card, a 7 of Spades. He looked up at Black Panther coldly and snorted. “Your turn!”
Black Panther hesitated. He did not know if Gu Jinglian would be calling for another card. Now Gu Jinglian had 10 points, but he had no idea what the hidden card was.
He had clearly underestimated Gu Jinglian’s luck.
Gu Jinglian had an honorific title at the casino: European King.
In casinos, there are two terms that are used to describe people. One is “African Chief”, and the other is “European King”. The African Chief refers to someone with a particularly dark face and rotten luck with cards. The European King is the opposite. Gu Jinglian had a particularly pale face and excellent luck with cards.
Gu Jinglian was an European King.
Even if he were to be dealt a bad hand. He had a steady playing style, and would never lose too badly.
Still, Black Panther decided not to risk it.
“Stand.”
Gu Jinglian called a Stand as well. Black Panther’s expression darkened.
He knew that Gu Jinglian must have a high total. Otherwise, he would definitely call for more cards.
When he flipped the cards and saw that Gu Jinglian had a total of 20 points, he couldn’t keep his composure anymore!
“Are you pulling a fast one on me?!”
