Chapter 47: First Car
Chapter 47
One by one they came over, salivating.
In front of Qin Zhao, there was only a meager 100,000 yuan.
Compared to the over 3 million in cash before Pei Qian, it looked rather bleak, and caused the onlookers to look at her with disdain.
Whispering to each other.
"With so little money, how dare she come to the Ghost God Casino?!"
"Although we don\'t have much money either, at least 150,000 to start. Are young girls nowadays so shameless?"
"Look at her, still smiling. Let\'s see if she can still smile after losing even her underwear."
"Speaking of that Pei Qian, I\'ve gambled with him before too. If it wasn\'t for my old lady back home, I wouldn\'t have made it out of the casino that day!"
The people around silently distanced themselves from the one who had spoken, fearing to get tainted by his bad luck.
...
The noise gradually faded away.
The cards for the first round were also dealt.
Minimum bet: 10,000 yuan
Qin Zhao picked up her cards to take a look. 502 cried out in excitement, "Host, you\'ve won, you\'ve won! How can you be so lucky?!"
Double kings, four 2s, four Aces, a full house and a straight.
A hand that was guaranteed to win!
Whereas Pei Qian\'s face was already a little ugly, though he still put on a calm appearance, smiling at Qin Zhao, "Miss Gao, you draw first."
The two were playing Landlord, drawing to decide who would be dealer for the first round, after which they would take turns.
Qin Zhao casually drew a card and flipped it over onto the table.
It was a 7.
Pei Qian also drew a card.
An 8.
Pei Qian was dealer.
He took the three cards in the middle and added them to his hand.
A veteran like him usually didn\'t need to organize his cards, already familiar enough to know his hand composition with a single glance.
He covered his cards on the table and smiled as he asked, "Miss Gao, who do you think will win this round?"
The onlookers began jeering, "Is there a prize for guessing right?"
"Asking us to guess like this without any reward, how is that fair! Isn\'t that right, Boss Pei?"
"If Miss Gao guesses right, you split half the money on your table with her, how about that?"
"That\'s right, Boss Pei has always been generous with women. He surely wouldn\'t bear to see such a pretty lady with so little money to accompany her!"
"Alright." Pei Qian laughed. "As long as Miss Gao dares to guess, I dare to give. But if Miss Gao loses, she\'ll have to let me kiss her!"
"Great!"
"Wonderful!!"
The onlookers had clearly become the atmosphere squad.
But in Qin Zhao\'s eyes, they were even more annoying than flies.
"Enough!" Qin Zhao scolded, "Are you guys playing cards or am I playing? If you want to gamble, go start your own game. Stop being a nuisance here."
The crowd: "......"
They had lived thirty, forty, fifty years and still never seen such a spirited young lady.
Rendered speechless for a moment, it took them some time to react and start criticizing Qin Zhao.
"Little girl, what a bad temper, even more hot-headed than us veteran gamblers!"
"Acting all arrogant, if this wasn\'t a casino where fights are prohibited, I would\'ve hit you already!"
"Don\'t let me run into you outside!"
Qin Zhao ignored all the noise and looked to Pei Qian. "Play your hand."
Pei Qian sneered and flung his cards onto the table.
The crowd also quieted down then to look at his hand.
Although messy, Qin Zhao was able to grasp his play within two seconds.
A full house, sweeping away all the cards in hand!
The others also gradually figured it out.
Applause immediately spread from just a few people to the entire crowd!
Whistles and cheers arose one after another.
It was as if they were able to vent their earlier frustrations from Qin Zhao.
The dealer tidied up the table and announced, "The dealer has played a Spring, the other player loses 20,000."
As he spoke, he pushed 20,000 yuan from Qin Zhao\'s side over to Pei Qian.
502 cried in anguish, "Host, how did this happen? You had a heavenly hand!"
Qin Zhao said, "Winning and losing are common in gambling, what is there to be puzzled about."
Second round, deal.
Qin Zhao was dealt a hand as desolate as salt flats.
3, 4, 5, 6, missing 7.
Three pairs that were just shy of a straight.
There was a bomb, but playing it would only increase her rate of loss.
Even if Pei Qian folded three hands, she still wouldn\'t win.
This round, Qin Zhao lost at eight times the stake.
The crowd cheered continuously!
"The little girl now understands the dangers of the casino!"
"Still wet behind the ears, go home and drink milk. What\'s a kid doing in a casino!"
"Boss Pei is awesome!"
...
Seeing Qin Zhao was out of money, Pei Qian asked, "Miss Gao, want me to lend you some?"
Qin Zhao calmly replied, "You\'re interested in me right? If I lose next round, I\'ll leave with you."
Pei Qian shot up from his seat in excitement, startling the people next to him with his exaggerated motion!
"Miss Gao, you really mean it?!"
Qin Zhao nodded lightly, "With so many people watching, I wouldn\'t dare go back on my word."
Pei Qian shouted three times, "Good! Good! Good!"
The onlookers looked at Pei Qian\'s elated state with envy and jealousy.
At the same time, they cursed Gao Qian for deserving this, acting so arrogantly from the start!
Seeing the situation, 502 anxiously pleaded, "Host, let\'s not gamble anymore and go home.
If we keep going, I\'m worried you\'ll really be taken advantage of by the other party. Wuuu..."
Qin Zhao\'s mind was calm as she said, "Don\'t cry, keep watching."
Round three, start.
Qin Zhao flipped open her cards, glanced once, then directly laid them down in the middle.
The crowd came over and sighed.
"So it\'s over just like that, how boring."
Double kings, four 2s, four Aces, plus a pair sequence.
Dealer: "The dealer has played a Spring with three bombs, other player loses 160,000."
The audience was unhappy, but Pei Qian didn\'t have much reaction. Still smiling, he personally pushed the money to Qin Zhao.
Seeing Qin Zhao\'s lack of response, he asked, "Miss Gao, you\'re not happy to have won money? Why aren\'t you smiling."
Qin Zhao lightly tapped the table. "It\'s too little to be worth looking at. At least the empty spots need to be filled up."
"Oh? Quite the appetite. Let me see how much you can eat up."
Pei Qian still had a smile then, but soon he would no longer be able to laugh.
Because in every subsequent round, regardless of who was dealer, Qin Zhao won.
And each time, the double kings, four 2s, four Aces would be in her hands.
The payout odds also grew higher and higher.
From starting at 2x, 8x, up to the highest 64x!
By the twelfth round, Pei Qian only had less than 100,000 left before him.
His whole body was drenched like a drowned rat, sweat flowing nonstop like a broken faucet.
The people wiping his sweat were so tired their hands shook.
While on Qin Zhao\'s side, the money had piled into a small mountain, nearly burying her.
The onlookers could no longer say mocking words.
Instead, they started flattering her, hoping she would generously reward them a little.
Pei Qian stood up wanting to stretch, but lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Boss! Are you okay?" His men rushed to help him up.
"I\'m fine! Get lost! I can stand myself!" His roar echoed through the train car.
The atmosphere instantly turned oppressive.
But there were also those who had lost to him before, secretly delighted.
Their gazes towards Qin Zhao were now full of respect.
After taking another five minutes to reseat himself, Pei Qian was drenched in sweat again.
Qin Zhao laughed and asked, "Can\'t afford to play? Weren\'t you wanting me to laugh, see isn\'t this funny enough?"
Pei Qian\'s voice even shook, as if under tremendous pressure, "Just who on earth are you?!"
