Underworld Chronicles: Qiao Si's Strategist, Xiao Ke, and Wang Weifan

Xiao Ke sat down and started playing with Li Zhengguang and the others.

As Xiao Ke had just started playing, he did the same thing as before: first observe what kind of tactics the other player used. You can't just use tricks right away, or the other player will see right through you.

After playing a few rounds, Xiao Ke figured out the pattern. None of the three opponents knew how to play cards effectively, but Li Zhengguang could remember the cards. He could remember almost everything about what cards the other players had played and what cards were left on the table.

"Damn, this guy's got a sharp mind, he's got real skills." Little Ke thought to himself, secretly praising him.

Since Xiao Ke didn't use any tricks and relied entirely on luck, after a few rounds, he had lost quite a bit of money on the table, probably around two or three thousand.

Li Zhengguang and his companions all wore smug smiles, thinking to themselves, "You, Hao the Cripple, even tried to find a way to cheat with your friends. You're losing even faster than when you played by yourself. Cheating? You're kidding me. Today, I'll give you tens of thousands to lose."

Sitting next to Xiao Ke, Hao the Cripple watched the money on the table dwindle, sweat beading on his forehead. "Why isn't Brother Ke using his tricks yet? If I wait any longer, I'll lose all my money in a few rounds. I only got this 10,000 today!"

So Hao the Cripple took his crutch and started hitting Xiao Ke's feet. After a few hits, Xiao Ke didn't react. Hao the Cripple was almost poking Xiao Ke's crotch with his crutch, thinking, "Brother Ke, hurry up and finish this. If we run out of rice, we'll have to use chicken feathers to make up for it."

Xiao Ke, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, appeared calm and collected. In reality, he knew exactly what he was doing. He was letting these three people have a taste of the sweetness first, and then he would stop when the time was right.

This is just like online gambling nowadays. If you lose right from the start, you'll quit after a few rounds.

They'll let you taste the sweetness first. If you bet 10, they'll let you win 20; if you bet 100, they'll let you win 200. Once you've tasted the sweetness and start betting tens of thousands, that's when they start reaping the rewards.

After losing a large sum, you try to win it back, but the more you pour in, the more you lose. By the time you realize what's happening, it's too late; you're completely broke.

They're playing on psychology, and ordinary people like us simply can't resist or outmaneuver them. So I advise all readers, never get involved in gambling, especially online gambling these days. Whoever gets involved will die.

Xiao Ke's methods were almost identical to those of online gambling. After seeing the smug smiles on Li Zhengguang's and his group's faces, he thought to himself, "Let the bullets fly for a while, let the pigs be smug for a while. I'm already sharpening my knife, ready to slaughter the pigs."

When Xiao Ke lost five thousand yuan, Hao the Cripple was sweating profusely. He was so nervous that he could hardly sit still, and even his crutches were covered in sweat.

By this time, they had been playing for more than two hours, and everyone's attention was starting to wane. Little K saw that the time was right and thought, "Alright, let's get to work."

This time it was Xiao Ke's turn to be the dealer. He reached into his crotch, took out a handful of things, and then smelled them. He wasn't scratching the basket because it was prickly; rather, Xiao Ke had hidden some special powdery substance in the basket beforehand to mark the cards.

Although Xiao Ke also has the ability to remember cards, he can make sure that he marks the cards he shuffles well when shuffling, so that he can see them at a glance, and use a little skill to roll the dice. This way, he can ensure that he is absolutely sure.

In this round, Xiao Ke got a perfect hand of all pairs, and even won by winning on the jackpot, resulting in a bloodbath. In just one round, he won three thousand yuan.

This made Hao the Cripple so happy that he almost stood up on his own without his crutches, and his polio was almost cured.

Next, Xiao Ke stopped being so carefree and started to dominate, especially Li Zhengguang. His card counting ability was completely useless, as if it had suddenly stopped working. Not only did he lose all the 15,000 yuan he had won earlier, but he also quickly ran out of the 4,000 to 5,000 yuan he had in his pocket.

"Damn it, I don't believe it! I'm going to go out and pee to change my luck." Li Zhengguang's previous smugness vanished. After losing another round, he wanted to pee to change his luck.

But after Li Zhengguang came back from urinating, he still lost. It would be a miracle if he won. Who is that Xiao Ke? He's the casino owner. He has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve. He can fleece you however he wants.

Xiao Ke and his friends played until around 10 p.m., and Li Zhengguang's pockets were empty; he had no money left.

After losing the last hand, Li Zhengguang shoved his cards onto the table. "Damn it, I've lost everything. I'm not playing anymore. I won't pay out for the last hand."

Hao the Cripple was overjoyed. "Brother Zhengguang, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't. Consider it my treat to dinner."

Brother Hao, come play again tomorrow. Come by yourself, don't bring all sorts of junk here. Damn it~ Li Zhengguang was really furious after losing. He couldn't stand Xiao Ke no matter what he did. He was about to point his finger at Xiao Ke and curse him.

Xiao Ke knew Li Zhengguang was unhappy, but he knew what was going on. He just needed to help Hao the Cripple win the money back, and let him grumble a bit if he wanted.

"Holy shit, who are you cursing? Who's the crap?" Xiao Ke could tolerate it, but Zhang Guangyue behind him couldn't. Zhang Guangyue, like a mad dog with its fur standing on end, glared and pointed at Li Zhengguang, cursing.

"You're just a bystander, what right do you have to speak? Go back to your mother's cunt." Li Zhengguang retorted without backing down.

"Go to hell!" Zhang Guangyue grabbed a mahjong tile from the table and slapped it across Li Zhengguang's face.

Li Zhengguang couldn't dodge in time and got hit on the nose by a mahjong tile. He was already furious because he had lost money, and Zhang Guangyue's hit completely ignited his anger.

Li Zhengguang pounced on Zhang Guangyue like a ferocious tiger. Xiao Ke originally wanted to stop Zhang Guangyue, but Zhang Guangyue had already rushed over and the two of them instantly started fighting.

When Ma Dianlong, who was behind Hao the Cripple, saw this, he thought, "Damn, these are the people Brother Hao called. I have to help!" So he rushed up and helped Zhang Guangyue fight Li Zhengguang.

Due to his physical condition, Hao the Cripple usually made his move last in a fight, hitting people's knees with his crutch before joining the fray.

Xiao Ke originally wanted to join in, but seeing Ma Dianlong rush over, he decided it wasn't appropriate for him to participate. It was already two against one, and if he joined in, it would be beneath his status as the eldest brother, and it wouldn't sound good if word got out.

The others saw that the three men were attacking fiercely and ruthlessly, their fists raining down on their heads and faces, each strike aimed to kill.

Seeing this, no one dared to step in and break up the fight. If someone were to hit them with a stun gun, it would hurt like hell, so it was better to stay away.

Next, will Xiao Ke's fierce general Zhang Guangyue and Hao Quezi's powerful general Ma Dianlong be able to defeat Li Zhengguang? Stay tuned for the next episode.
