Chapter 377 Sun Stone
·
Yi Hu Qing Jiu w
Three people were present, and after everyone had placed their bets, the final showdown began.
首先开牌的是除夏羽和福山外的另外一名男子，他率先翻开了自己的底牌，正是夏羽一开始看到的6和7，他自己的牌型也和公共牌里的3、4、5组成了顺子34567。
This kind of card also made Fushan sigh, his own house was bigger, and now as long as his card was bigger than Xia Yu's, he could win all the chips.
Fushan looked at Xia Yu nervously, and Xia Yu seemed to feel Fushan's gaze, and suddenly turned to look at Fushan, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised under the mask?
Is he laughing?
Fukuyama was shocked and instinctively felt uneasy. He looked at Xia Yu nervously, only to see Xia Yu suddenly said, "Are you praying that my card must be a straight?"
How does he know?
However, under Fukuyama's surprised gaze, Xia Yu turned his cards up.
A pair of 5!
The moment they saw these two cards, Fukuyama and the other man's faces were gloomy, and the moment when the gamblers collapsed the most was when the cards were drawn.
Such a result instantly made everyone on the scene burst into exclamation, Fukuyama also became angry from embarrassment, and directly chose to throw out his hole card, get up and leave.
Looking at this scene, everyone knew that Xia Yu had won the bet!
After clearing the chips of the other two and Suo Cailing's coins, Xia Yu had already obtained the qualification to enter the second round of gambling, and he had no need to continue gambling.
The other two also left the gaming table.
Xia Yu also got up at this time, and there was about an hour left before the second round of gambling, so he could take a good rest.
Xia Yu stretched lazily, unlike other people's excitement, after knowing in advance that he would win, the game lost a little fun, and the five hours of continuous fighting also made Xia Yu a little tired, and couldn't help but fight. I yawned.
However, at this moment, a gust of fragrant wind hit, Helen walked quickly to Xia Yu's side, gave Xia Yu a big hug, and at the same time kissed Xia Yu's cheek.
"You're great, we've made a fortune!" Seeing Xia Yu winning so many chips at once, Helen was very excited. She got rich directly with this Cailing coin!
"What are you doing?" Xia Yu, who came to his senses, pushed Helen away, and at the same time secretly looked in the direction of the organizer with a guilty conscience. Seeing that Xiao Wanyu was not there, he let out a sigh of relief.
"This is a reward for you. You are simply amazing." Helen's voice sounded: "We can share the money now, and you can give me my 1000 million."
"I warn you, don't do this to me, or your money will be cut in half."
"Huh...it's not fair. It's a celebration of our overnight success. Give me my chips."
"Take it, don't harass me." Naturally, Xia Yu kept his promise, and handed Helen the chips that Helen deserved.
"Goodbye, see you later." After getting the chips, Helen smiled and waved to Xia Yu, then turned and walked towards the staff: "I will come to China to find you when I am free!"
She exchanged the chips into money with excitement on her face, and chose to quit the game voluntarily.
Next, she only needs to enjoy the cruise ship with peace of mind and wait for the cruise ship to dock, and then she can take this large sum of money and fly away and enjoy a good life.
Helen, who was in a happy mood, left the casino on the top floor with steps that her relatives did not recognize.
…………
After Helen left, Xia Yu was also sitting on the sofa, eating the buffet food provided by the casino while reading the newspaper, patiently waiting for the end of the first round of gambling.
It's just that Xia Yu didn't rest for long before he was interrupted by someone.
"Hey."
Xia Yu frowned and raised his head, seeing a mask of flowers.
This familiar mask was Chi Hanxiao who had lost all her bets with a stud at the very beginning. Obviously, she was unwilling to go back like this, so she specially approached Xia Yu, hoping to get back her money again.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yu frowned and looked at Chi Hanxiao. Xia Yu didn't like her tone of voice.
"One more game." Chi Hanxiao looked at Xia Yu, and said with a gambler's unique greed in his eyes, "I'll bet you with this thing."
While Chi Hanxiao was talking, he took off the necklace from his neck and handed it to Xia Yu: "This is an S-level Sun Stone."
Xia Yu glanced over Chi Hanxiao's necklace.
[Sun Stone]: S-level, an evolution stone, which can be used on some grass-type Pokémon to allow them to evolve and improve their qualifications.
It is really an S-class sun stone, which can evolve five kinds of Pokémon.
Use it on the Stinky Flower to evolve it into a Beautiful Flower.
Use it on a Sunseed to evolve it into a Sunflower Monster.
Use it on a Kapok Ball to evolve it into a Wind Fairy.
Use on Lily Root Doll to evolve it into Miss Skirt.
Use it on a Lightning Lizard to evolve it into a Lightning Lizard.
…………
"Okay, how do you gamble?" Faced with such a good thing that came to his door, Xia Yu naturally would not refuse.
"Continue to bet on Texas Hold'em?" Chi Hanxiao looked at Xia Yu and said.
"Of course." Xia Yu smiled, it didn't matter what he bet on.
…………
10 minute later.
Xia Yu accepted Chi Hanxiao's necklace with satisfaction, and got an S-level Sun Stone.
"Are you still betting?" Xia Yu looked at Chi Hanxiao with a smile. At this time, she was obviously red-eyed. It was not until she lost the necklace that she came back to her senses: "You have no chips."
Looking at the necklace in Xia Yu's hand, Chi Hanxiao came back to her senses. She had lost so many chips before she knew it.
The chips she lost earlier were fine, but this necklace has a unique meaning to her.Now that even this necklace was put in, she naturally felt extremely regretful in her heart.
"The first round is over in 10 minutes. It seems that you have no more chips, so I have to go." Xia Yu smiled at Chi Hanxiao and said, "Thank you for the Sun Stone, I like it very much."
"I..." Xia Yu's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making Chi Hanxiao, who had already lost, feel even more uncomfortable.
She looked at Xia Yu with red eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have anything else on me. You can lend me some chips and play another game. I'll ask someone to pay you back when you get off the boat."
"Borrow?" Xia Yu shook his head, he would not foolishly agree.
Who knows if Chi Hanxiao's identity is fake, what if he borrows money and runs away.
"Sorry, no." Xia Yu shook his head, got up and left.
"you……"
Chi Hanxiao wanted to say something more, but found that Xia Yu had already turned and left.
"Hey, leave me your contact information, and I'll spend money to buy my necklace back."
…………
Soon the first round of gambling was over, and the 12 people who held the most coins in their hands entered the second round, and the other losers who had extra coins in their hands would be forced to win by 1: 1 chip recovery.
Therefore, almost everyone who owns Socailing coins will choose to sell Socailing coins at a high price to other contestants at a ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 before the end of the first round of competition.
After entering the second round, the remaining twelve contestants can choose whether to continue the competition, or directly exchange the Suo Cailing coins and chips in their hands for cash and withdraw from the competition.
After a round of questioning, 8 people directly chose to withdraw from the race. In this way, only 4 people actually participated in the gamble, which is also a common situation.
After all, there is only one person who can win 999 coins of Suo Cai Ling in the end, and the others are just running with him, so it is better to get a sum of money and leave directly.
Compared with the players who were eliminated in the first round, the 8 players who voluntarily abstained had one more right, that is, they could be ranked according to the number of coins in their hands, from high to low, and they could use the chips in their hands and the coins in order to rank them. Cailing coins can be exchanged for the collateral of other contestants.
It is precisely because of this privilege that these people want to be ranked in the top twelve.
However, if they want to exchange collateral, they have to wait until the end of the second round, and the exchange can only be performed after the final winner is determined.
Xia Yu naturally chose to continue the competition. His purpose of coming here was to win the quasi-king-level Ditto mask, and only those who won the final bet had the priority to exchange chips for the contestants' collateral.
The game used in the second round of gambling is also a random mode. The opponent is randomly drawn to determine the opponent, and the gambling method is randomly selected.
Xia Yu looked at the last three opponents, three foreigners.
One of them was the tall white man who introduced Sai Fuhao to Xia Yu at the beginning. When Xia Yu looked at him, the man seemed to have a feeling, and turned his head to look at Xia Yu as well.
He nodded slightly, as if greeting Xia Yu.
Except for this white man, Xia Yu didn't know any of the other two.
As a result of the final draw, Xia Yu met a potbellied white man.
After the opponents are randomly assigned, the gambling method is randomly selected again.
The other group was drawn in the dice area-guess the size.
The gambling method that Xia Yu and his group drew was beyond everyone's expectations.
Free Zone - Wheel of Death.
When the result was drawn, the white man and Xia Yu frowned.
Death roulette is one of the most classic and brutal games.
The wheel of death requires a revolver, put a bullet in one of its six magazines, spin the wheel at will, and then close the wheel.Participants in the game take turns pointing the pistol to their heads and pulling the trigger; of course, those who get shot will automatically quit, and the one who sticks to the end is the winner.The gamblers on the sidelines bet on the lives of the participants.
However, although this gambling method is cruel, it does not require Xia Yu to play in person, they bet in the way of spectators!
The bloody and violent gameplay made Xia Yu frown, while the potbellied white man on the other side was a little excited.
Under the completely different emotions of the two, two men were brought up soon, one black and one Chinese.The two looked tense, and their foreheads were already covered with sweat, but there was a trace of determination on their faces.
Also walking up was a host in a smiley mask carrying a tray containing a revolver with a bullet and two agreements.
"Both participants participated in Death Roulette voluntarily, it was a commitment agreement they signed."
The host first showed everyone the commitment agreement signed by the two participants, then picked up the bullets, and after exchanging behind their backs, he stretched out his hands and asked the two participants: "Can you guess whether the bullet is in the left hand or the right hand?" If you guess correctly, you can specify whether the opponent should shoot first or second.”
"Left hand." The black man spoke first, he was lucky, he guessed which hand the bullet was in, and took the initiative.
"You guessed it." The masked host smiled, then put the bullet into the magazine, then spun the wheel, then suddenly closed the wheel, and put the gun on the table: "Okay , you can choose who shoots first."
The black man was obviously a little nervous. The decision he made at this time would determine the life and death of the two of them.
After closing his eyes and praying for a while, he made a bold choice, pointed his dark hand to the opposite side, and said, "He shoots first."
…………
When the person opposite heard the black man's words, his expression tightened, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Phew. Phew."
He swallowed his saliva, his expression extremely tense, and he kept taking deep breaths to adjust his nervousness.
"You two can place your bets." The voice of the hostess lady sounded and said to the two of them.
"I definitely support the Hua people, I will choose him to win." Xia Yu pointed to the yellow man who shot first: "I bet all the coins of Suo Cailing."
He has already seen through his own ability that the bullet is in the fourth position, and this game is another gamble that must be won for him, so it is meaningless.
In the second round of gambling, everyone can only use Suo Cailing's coins to hold down.
Seeing Xia Yu being so decisive, the potbellied man frowned.
He didn't expect that with such a big bet, Xia Yu would put all Cai Ling's coins in without batting an eye.
The white man thought for a long time, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Then I'll give it all up too."
"Okay." The voice of the lady of etiquette sounded: "It seems that the two of you want to decide the outcome, so let's start."
The Chinese man holding a revolver raised the gun nervously, and slowly aimed it at his temple. He slowly closed his eyes, and his hands trembled violently because of the extreme tension.
"Shoot!"
The potbellied white man, smoking a cigar, yelled at him.
"Come on, stop dawdling!"
"Crack!"
After a crisp sound, Hua Guoren's whole body seemed to be emptied, he took a long breath, and put the revolver on the tray.
"It's your turn!"
Seeing this, the black man was heartbroken, picked up the revolver and aimed it at his head, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
"Crack!"
It was an empty gun again, and the pressure came to the Huaguo people again.
The Huaguo man picked up the revolver again, slowly aimed it at his temple, then took a deep breath, and pressed the trigger.
"Crack!"
"Oh!"
There were bursts of exclamations at the scene, obviously quite surprised by this result, and this round of gambling has reached a feverish stage.
The black man was obviously a little nervous at this time, but he picked up the revolver very resolutely, he did not hesitate like the Chinese people, but aimed at his temple at a very fast speed, and pulled the trigger.
The consequence of doing this is to die faster, almost at the moment of the gunshot, blood donation mixed with brain explosion.
Xia Yu couldn't help frowning at such a cruel scene.
"Dry!"
The potbellied white man slammed his hands on the table and roared angrily. What he cared about was not the death of the man in front of him, but that he lost the bet!
