Chapter 32: Gambling
After passing the security check, Guan Peng realized that today's party was probably not as simple as a private gambling game, because there were really many people attending.
"Brother Peng, there is an auction before the gambling begins. It is said that there will be many good things. Do we want to participate too?"
Sure enough, Wang Jie found out the news.
"Participate, it's okay anyway, just treat it as a long-term experience." Seeing that Aono Mai next to him was very interested, Guan Peng agreed.
At half past seven, after Captain Golden Retriever told a few jokes that Guan Peng didn't quite understand, the auctioneer came on stage and announced the start of the auction.
There were oil paintings, clocks, gems, porcelain, etc. The auction items were very mixed. Guan Peng took a few glances at them with his golden eyes and found that the items were all mixed up, some were real and some were fake.
"Three million once, three million twice
, three million times...
Let us congratulate Guest No. 38 for winning Monet’s “Water Lilies” for $3 million.”
The guests on the boat also knew whether the goods were genuine or fake, and did not dare to bid. As a result, Guan Peng was left out.
That’s right, Monet’s water lilies are not Van Gogh’s.
"Brother Peng, don't Monet's water lilies cost tens of millions? You wouldn't buy a fake, right?"
Wang Jie's point of view was the view of most people present. Maybe the original owner of the painting also thought it was fake; but Guan Peng knew that the real thing could not be fake, and the fake could not be real.
Next, the auction continued, and soon Guan Peng bought another necklace. The original owner of the necklace was a princess from the Romanov dynasty.
Guan Peng also thought of the purpose of the necklace. It should be used as a breakup gift for Aono Mai.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the auction ended. As the crowd dispersed, the dozen or so people who remained entered a large box next door.
Guan Peng asked Aono Mai to go back to the room first. After all, women would affect the speed at which he drew his sword.
The card game is divided into two tables, with five people on each table. Each person has a stake of 10 million US dollars and leaves the table after losing. When the total number of guests at the two tables is less than or equal to five, two tables will be played together.
Last time, Guan Peng and Pauline were at two separate tables, and they won almost everyone's money before they met; this time, whether intentionally or not, they were placed at the same table.
"Pauline, you are so beautiful tonight." He teased her before making a bet. After all, she was a woman he had loved before. Guan Peng wanted to mend their relationship before the card game started.
"Stop doing this, you scumbag." Pauline didn't give him a good look.

Appearance: 88 (full value 100, charming)
Favorability: 85 (full value 100, love, adoration)
Skills learned: Master-level gambling skills, proficient in French.
After using his insight skills, Guan Peng felt that there was no need to mend this relationship, it was all duplicity; you are still a scumbag, let’s see how I can continue to scum you after the game is over.
If you have a clear idea, luck will come naturally; you got three aces and two ten in the first game. After looking around at the three opponents' cards that haven't run yet, the biggest one only has three kings and a pair of qs. It's a little old Japanese man;
As for Pauline, she was unlucky in this game. She ran away when the fourth card was dealt. She ran fast.
"stud"
Guan Peng directly pushed all the chips on the table.
"don't want"
"Not with"
It’s only the first game, and everyone thinks it’s still a solid one, but there are still some who don’t believe in evil.
"I've already shown an ace. I don't believe you're so lucky. I'm a full house. Show your cards."
After the little old man showed his trump card, the King of Clubs, he pushed all the chips on the table.
"It's really the enemy card, but I didn't deceive you, old man. I'm really a full house."
After speaking, Guan Peng showed his hole card, the ace of hearts.
Just like what Wang Jie said, no one who came to participate in the gambling game could afford to lose. The little old man was very graceful. He nodded to Guan Peng, indicating that you are indeed awesome, and then left.
This little old man’s name was Nagato Daiko. Two days later, Guan Peng and Aono Mai met him again when they were sunbathing on the deck.
I learned from Aono Mai that this guy was actually the chairman of their company; sleeping with an artist from his company and winning money from him meant that the other person was Japanese, otherwise Guan Peng would be really embarrassed; of course, these are all things that come later
talk.
The goddess of luck does not only favor one person, but she mostly favors handsome men and beautiful women. In the second round, Guan Peng's cards were all random, but Pauline took Guan Peng's card just now.
"Your cards are coming to me." The third card was dealt, and Pauline had already taken three aces. She challenged Guan Peng with a smile.
"That's right. After all, the money doesn't go to outsiders." Guan Peng didn't forget to take advantage even if he folded his cards.
"Humph, let me tell you, 500,000." Seeing Guan Peng run so easily, Pauline had no choice but to take a long-term approach and catch the big fish; she deliberately did not increase the bet because she wanted to stabilize other opponents.
"500,000, I have no reason not to follow you, if you are 1 million more"
The speaker was a Wanwan entrepreneur named Zhang Zheng; Guan Peng looked at his cards, three queens, and an enemy card. It seemed that today's card game might end in two hours.
"I do not want it"
Another customer at the card table was a Hong Kong jeweler named Zhou Fugui. He was shown a pair of kings, but the hole card was Zhang Meihua 10. He also ran away.
"I'm worth 1 million, and the cards haven't been dealt yet, so I have no reason to be afraid of you."
Pauline said this to dig a hole for the other party. Considering that she only added 500,000 just now, the other party thought she had seen through her trump card.
Then the dealer begins to deal the fourth card.
"Your cards are mine"
Zhang Zheng's fourth card was the ace of hearts. He turned over the card and said proudly.
"I have yours too"
That's right, Pauline's fourth card was the Queen of Hearts.
"The female gambling king is indeed well-deserved. You have great cards and you speak up." Although Zhang Zheng said this, he didn't think he would lose; female gambling king, if I win, I will be the female gambling king.
"1000000"
"Okay, I'll give you 1 million."
As Pauline increased her stake, Zhang Zheng fell into a trap.
King of Hearts, King of Spades, both of their fifth cards are King.
"I'm talking again, 1 million"
When Pauline said this, Guan Peng laughed, this woman is really bad.
Sure enough, Zhang Zheng fell into a trap.
"What's the point of adding 1 million? I'm stud. Would the female gambling queen dare to follow me?"
Zhang Zheng deliberately mentioned the female gambling queen just to excite Pauline. He never thought that the opponent's hole card would be a.
"Mr. Zhang, you look down on women, okay, I'll follow."
Zhang Zheng laughed as soon as he heard what Pauline said. This woman was really not agitated. But before he could laugh out loud, Pauline's trump card, the ace of diamonds, was revealed by her.
"I have three aces. Mr. Zhang is not as big as me even if he has three qs."
This slap in the face made Guan Peng feel heartbroken for Zhang Zheng.
Zhang Zheng left in a bit of a panic. It wasn't that he couldn't afford to lose the money, but he was embarrassed to be teased by a woman.
In the next few games, the three of them went back and forth, but in general Guan Peng had the upper hand; in the tenth game, Zhou Fugui lost the last 5 million.
It’s not that Brother Fugui is incompetent, it’s just that today’s young people don’t respect martial ethics;
Just play cards, and even flirt in public; it’s only 10 million, I can’t afford to lose; in order not to continue to eat dog food, Zhou Fugui launched a death charge; a pair of Q’s wanted to defraud Guan Peng’s pair of K’s, but they were
Got it originally.
Zhou Fugui walked very gracefully, as if he were attending a wedding, following along without leaving any guests behind. Looking at his leaving figure, Guan Peng gave him a big thumbs up deep in his heart.
