Chapter 166 Pai Gow Evil Star
Duan Rong walked to an octagonal table. In the hall on the first floor, this table had the least people around it, with seven or eight people surrounding it, holding their behests.

The dealer was a lean man in his thirties, with sharp eyes and high cheekbones. On the right shoulder of his black silk shirt was embroidered the Chinese character "Yang". He was obviously from the gambling house.

The lean man shook the shaker in his hand on the table, making a rattling sound. With a pair of sharp eyes, he scanned the gamblers on the field and shouted, "Bet big or small, bet on it and leave it alone. Once you are lucky, you can make a huge profit..."

The man called out with ups and downs, and there was a certain allure in his voice...

At the moment when the man stopped shaking the cup, Duan Rong's consciousness suddenly shot out...

Some of the people on the field had already started betting. One guy with dark circles under his eyes counted the small change in his hand, and suddenly his eyes became fierce, and he bet everything on the big one. "Let's take a chance, kill gods if they get in the way, kill Buddhas if they get in the way!"

Duan Rong glanced at the man, then took out a few taels of silver and bet on Xiao Shang.

The lean man, seeing that everyone present had already placed their bets, shouted, "Good luck, huge profits! Open!"

"One, three, one! Little!"

Duan Rong had just played a few games and won a little money when Ximen Kankan came over and pulled him away. "Jiang Qingyu just arrived. The private room is the Geng room on the second floor. Let's go up first. He will come over after he pays the money."

When Duan Rong was dragged away by Ximen Kankan, the thin man shaking the cup looked at Duan Rong deeply. He remembered very clearly that this man had bet five times just now, and all of them were correct!
Ximen Kankan led Duan Rong and pushed open the door of the Gengzi room. The decoration inside the room was quite luxurious, and there were many rare flowers of different heights placed around it. The whole room was filled with a faint fragrance...

As soon as Ximen Kankan entered the room, he skillfully took out a set of Pai Gow from the cupboard on the wall, placed it on a square table, and said, "Do you know how to play Pai Gow?"

Duan Rong searched his original body's memory and found that Pai Gow was a very popular game in this world. It was not only often played in casinos, but also during festivals, people would often gather on the streets to play a few rounds to pass the time.

Duan Rong searched the playing method in his original body's memory and already knew that the playing method of Pai Gow in this world was similar to the Golden Flower in the previous life's Blue Star, but Pai Gow only had two cards.

For him, this kind of play, once he releases his spiritual consciousness, isn't it the same as showing his cards? It's simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
Duan Rong sat in front of the desk and said, "What do you mean by know? I have a nickname in our streets, called Pai Gow Evil Star."

Ximen Kankan was amused by Duan Rong's words. He dumped a wooden box of Pai Gow on the table with a clatter, and sat down and said, "What a coincidence! I also have a nickname, Pai Gow Ghost Sees Sorrow, which is specially used to defeat evil stars."

Duan Rong looked at Ximen Kankan's confident look and said sarcastically, "Young man, this world is very cruel! You'd better not be so arrogant, or you won't be able to adapt when you are beaten later."

"Bullshit! Do I need to adapt?" Ximen Kankan said angrily, "I am just as cruel at the gambling table as I am in bed. Naked and without a single piece of armor left! The one who can beat me up hasn't even been born yet, how can you do that?"

Ximen Kankan said this and snorted coldly in an air of superiority.

The two were bickering when Jiang Qingyu flashed in.

Jiang Qingyu and Duan Rong had not seen each other for some time. As soon as Jiang Qingyu came in, he immediately bowed and greeted Duan Rong warmly. Duan Rong hurriedly turned his head and looked at Ximen Kankan, saying, "Look at Master Qingyu, he is gentle and polite. Look at yourself again."

Ximen Kankan said with a smile: "This is a gambling house. How can Wen Run Zhili win money? You don't know the occasion!"

Duan Rong smiled and shook his head. This guy's mouth is really...

After the three of them sat down, they began to shuffle the cards. After stacking three pieces in a stack, they rolled the dice and Ximen Kankan became the banker.

Ximen Kankan picked up the dice and rolled it twice. Then, according to the number on the dice, he took out two stacks of cards, arranged each stack on the table, and distributed them to everyone in a counterclockwise order.

In this way, everyone has two cards in front of them, facing down on the table.

The three of them touched their cards, looked at them, and then put them back. Ximen Kankan looked at the cards like a thief, and Duan Rong couldn't help but smile. Duan Rong scanned the cards with his spiritual sense and knew the points of the three cards.

After Ximen Kankan checked the cards, he rubbed his mouth vigorously with his fat hands and said, "I'm the banker, I'll speak first, ten taels."

"Ten taels." Jiang Qingyu said. "Ten taels." Duan Rong glanced at Jiang Qingyu. Jiang Qingyu's cards were bigger than the two of them.

"Ha, there are goods!" Ximen Kankan said with a smile: "Then go for it. Five hundred taels!"

Jiang Qingyu's face changed and he became a little hesitant.

Duan Rong already knew the cards. The cards of the three people were actually pitifully small. Although Jiang Qingyu's card was also small, it was already the largest among the three.

Jiang Qingyu looked at Ximen Kankan's face for a while, hesitated, pushed the card, and said, "I'm flying!"

Ximen Kankan remained expressionless, looked at Duan Rong, and asked, "You?"

Duan Rong smiled silently in his heart, thinking: Well played! Pretty impressive, isn't it?
"Five hundred taels." Duan Rong said in a flat tone.

Ximen Kankan smiled, threw another five hundred taels of silver in the middle of the table, and said, "Continue with another five hundred taels."

"Five hundred taels." Duan Rong didn't even blink.

Ximen Kankan's eyes moved, his face expressionless, and he said, "One thousand taels."

"Follow one thousand taels." Duan Rong still looked indifferent.

Ximen Kankan swallowed his saliva and asked, "Is it open?"

"No!" Duan Rong glanced at Ximen Kankan.

Ximen Kankan's cards were very small. He originally wanted to bluff Duan Rong, but obviously failed to scare him. Now he was in a dilemma. He wanted to fly but was afraid that Duan Rong was cheating him.

Ximen Kankan stared at Duan Rong for a while, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Give me one thousand taels, open it!"

Duan Rong and Ximen Kankan turned over their cards, and found that their cards were the same, both bronze hammers and six points.

When Ximen Kankan saw Duan Rong's cards, he was dumbfounded. The points were the same, so whoever opened would be the loser.

"What are you two copper hammers with six points doing? " Jiang Qingyu was so angry that he looked at his own cards. His cards were sharp seven, seven points.

Ximen Kankan's face looked very ugly. Duan Rong, holding the six-point copper hammer, dared to follow him without changing his expression, as if he could tell from the beginning that he was trying to bluff him.

Although Jiang Qingyu was angry, playing Pai Gow is all about psychological warfare. Can he blame others if he got eliminated?

Ximen Kankan looked at Duan Rong and said sarcastically, "Newbies will have better luck in the first few rounds. That's normal!"

Duan Rong smiled and said, "Young man, I've said before that this world is very cruel! You are far from truly understanding this sentence?"

Ximen glared at Duan Rong and said, "An old sow digging the ground—she's good at talking."

After four or five rounds, Duan Rong beat the two of them until they had no temper at all. Ximen Kankan finally lost his temper, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Duan Rong changed!

He now believed that Duan Rong's nickname of Pai Gow Evil Star was definitely not exaggerated. In comparison, his Pai Gow Ghost Fear had become Pai Gow's own worry.

"Let's not play Pai Gow anymore. Pai Gow and I are incompatible today. Let's play the simplest game, rolling the dice and comparing the size!" Ximen Kankan said.

As the saying goes, when you are poor, you must adapt, and when you adapt, you will succeed. You will not hang yourself on a tree. He doesn't believe that Duan Rongneng is a bad luck star in everything. Wouldn't he become the king of the casino?
