Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1500 Take a Gamble

The man in front of me was sitting against the wall. The bar chair was too small, or maybe the man was too tall, so the back of the chair was not enough for him to lean his shoulders against, and he was almost sitting with his legs crossed against the wall.

He looks like a cowboy in his attire, especially the big cowboy hat on his head, which makes him even more eye-catching.

The light from the wall lamp installed on the wall hung down and shone on the cowboy hat, forming a shadow of moderate size, just covering the man's face.

He took the card that Jiang Zhe had transformed into and flipped it up and down on his fingertips like he was playing with a poker chip. If you look closely, you can even see the frightened expression on Jiang Zhe's face, who has become a second dimension, but he can't make any sound.

Then, Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei, who were in shock, felt the gaze of the man in the shadows.

"Two more? Not bad."

His voice sounded like he was around thirty or forty years old, not that old.

Of course, this is based on the premise that he is human.

He could speak, and Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei immediately woke up from their shock.

Gan Xiaoyan almost growled:
"What did you do to him!"

"Nothing, just a willingness to accept defeat."

The two men then noticed that the table in front of the man was actually a small square table with a set of playing cards and scattered chips on it.

"Judging from your reaction, you know this boy, right?"

The man shook the card in his hand, then took out something that looked like a photo album from his coat and opened it. It was filled with transparent cards with images of people printed on them.

Are they all human?
He stuffed Jiang Zhe's card into the empty space and then closed the photo album.

"It's easy to get him back. Sit down and play a few rounds with me. If you win, you take him. If you lose, you keep him. How about that? It's a good deal, right?"

I could feel the man laughing, but the strong sense of threat lingered.

But do you really want to sit down and gamble with this monster?

Gan Xiaoyan really wanted to save Jiang Zhe, but she felt that there was a high probability that she would be sacrificed.

Then, don’t gamble, turn around and go find Li Chengxi, and come back after you find Li Chengxi.

At that time it won't be a question of whether to gamble or not, but whether this grandson will beg for mercy quickly enough.

It seems that the latter is the wisest choice. After all, gambling with such an unidentified monster is too risky.

But Gan Xiaoyan was not sure if she could find her way back once she walked out of the bar.

The entire cabin is extremely strange. Its area has long exceeded the size of the ship seen from the outside. The route is also extremely complicated, and there is almost no guidance. Once you leave, you may not be able to come back.

If that's the case, what should Jiang Zhe do?
Gan Xiaoyan was a little confused, and the man urged:
"If you don't want to play, then go. I've had enough fun today and it's time to go home."

The meaning is very clear. If you don't gamble, Jiang Zhe will never come back.

What should I do?
Gan Xiaoyan found it difficult to make a decision, and at this time, Lei Lei shook her hand and gave Gan Xiaoyan a look that said "I'll help you".

This made Gan Xiaoyan make up her mind.

"How are you going to bet?"

"Great! It would be nice to add two more collections at the end."

The man said happily, pointing to the table:

"It's the last hand of the day, let's play something simple, blackjack. Either of you can play."

The scattered playing cards on the table suddenly floated in the air and were stacked again and placed in a corner of the table.

This also allowed the two to see that what was just covered by the playing cards was an etched metal plate of playing cards.

It says:

'Gambling Table Tips'

1. The playing cards will be shuffled automatically to ensure that no one can tamper with them.

2. Both parties need to agree on the bet before the game starts, and once the bet is made, it cannot be changed.

3. The bet will be strictly executed in accordance with the prior agreement and no breach of contract is allowed.

These are the only three rules mentioned above. This ghost ship really has rules everywhere.

"Don't think about refusing to pay after losing. You saw what happened to that young man. You will be forced to do so."

The man explained, which made Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei focus their attention on him again.

"So, start?"

"Wait, I need to ask some questions." "Of course, it's your right."

Gan Xiaoyan said:

"First we need to make sure that the people you took away are still alive?"

"Still alive. I don't like dead people."

"If you release them, will they still be alive?"

"No problem, at most I'll just fall asleep for a while."

At this time Lei Lei interrupted:
"What is Black Jack?"

"A simple card game where you see whose card is closest to the number 21"

Lei Lei then understood, oh, it’s 21 points?

So she said to Gan Xiaoyan:

"Let me do this. I've never lost a card game since I was a kid."

Gan Xiaoyan was a little worried. After all, although the rules of blackjack are simple, it is actually a math game, and players must have strong mental arithmetic skills to ensure their winning rate.

However, seeing Lei Lei was so confident, Gan Xiaoyan herself was actually unsure, so she did not force her and gave up her seat to let Lei Lei sit opposite the man.

"Do you still have any questions?"

"Have."

Gan Xiaoyan said:

"What do you know about this ship?"

At this moment, the two could feel the man in the shadows' eyes flicker slightly.

"It's a lot, but...if you don't gamble, I won't tell you for free."

"What if we bet?"

"You can ask, I will try my best to answer, and I promise that it is all true."

The wording of this answer is very vague.

"You know, some things are not suitable to be said everywhere. I also have the right to choose to answer or not answer, but I promise not to lie."

It seems that the other party does not want to give in on this point.

Gan Xiaoyan nodded:

"In that case, let's make the bet clear. You have to answer my questions during the bet, and if you win, you have to release my companion."

"No problem, if I win, you will be my new collection."

"We need to check the playing cards. Do you have any problem with that?"

"Of course not. Please feel free."

The corners of the man's mouth seemed to curl up in the shadows, and he pushed the playing cards in the middle of the table over.

Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei carefully checked it and confirmed that it was just an ordinary deck of cards. There was no trace of magical power and no room for cheating.

The man was very patient and not pushy at all.

After they had examined the cards, he said:

"The rules of the game are that the first person to achieve three wins is the winner."

"We have no problem with that."

"Well, let the game begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the playing cards piled in the middle of the table seemed to be picked up by an invisible person, shuffled automatically, and quickly placed back on the table.

"Lady first."

Two poker cards flew up one after another and landed in front of Lei Lei, and then the cards were dealt to the man.

It is said that the person who achieves three wins first is the ultimate winner. It seems that there is a margin for error, but considering Jiang Zhe's performance just now, this margin of error may be more like some kind of psychological oppression.

Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan looked at each other, then quietly flipped open the cards and took a look...
