Chapter 429 - 429 You’re Already Great l
Jiang Xu: “Lose one round, and shell out an extra two million.”
He had great confidence in his card skills.
Jiang Xu held back his laughter, not wanting to provoke this guy and end up not getting the money.
He even comforted him: “Today was just bad luck, you’re still awesome.”
Jiang Xu pulled Fu Yanjie aside and they whispered together.
He explained to him the Heroic League match process and how to operate it.
Fu Yanjie had to start training gradually now.
In the future, he could share Jiang Xu’s burdens.
After hearing Jiang Xu’s entire plan, Fu Yanjie was utterly shocked: “Damn, you’re really ruthless, aren’t you?”
Just then, he came over with a beer bottle.
Fu Yanjie and the others immediately tensed up.
Seeing how red-faced they were from drinking, could it be that they were looking for trouble?
Jiang Xu, on the other hand, was not worried at all.
He always had plenty of bodyguards with him whenever he went out.
And he didn’t think Chen Xiaolong would be that stupid.
Sure enough.
When Chen Xiaolong and his group approached, they weren’t there to fight.
They just looked coldly at Jiang Xu and said, “How about playing ‘Fight the
Landlord’? The loser has to yell ‘I’m a dumbass’ three times on the spot.”
Chen Xiaolong had always been lucky since childhood, often winning more than losing in card games.
Seeing Jiang Xu here having barbecue, he came over on purpose.
His aim was simple, to win back some face for Wang Shiya.
He was already plotting in his mind.
If he beat Jiang Xu, Wang Shiya would certainly be happy.
Maybe his own chances of winning the beauty would be one step closer.
Jiang Xu suggested several ways to make a killing in the competition.
With his own brain, he could never have thought of them.
Jiang Xu smiled without saying a word.
There was no choice, he was desperately short of money now, so he had to do it.
“Hey, why did we run into them again?” Fu Yanjie turned his head and immediately showed an annoyed expression.
Jiang Xu also looked over, equally speechless.
It was Chen Xiaolong’s group again.
Only Wang Shiya wasn’t there.
Jiang Xu thought it really was a narrow road for enemies; they could even bump into each other here.
Chen Xiaolong and his group whispered for a moment, then,
“Alright, let’s do it,” Jiang Xu agreed immediately.
He could tell right away that Chen Xiaolong was the stubborn type.
If you rejected him, he would only become more annoying.
Fu Yanjie went to buy a deck of cards.
The first round, Jiang Xu, Chen Xiaolong, and a random player A.
Before starting, Jiang Xu suddenly said, “How about we add a little extra to the stakes?”
Chen Xiaolong: “You name it.”
In his past life as an entrepreneur, when he got sleepy from overtime work, he would play ‘Fight the Landlord’ online.
He had won several billion joybeans.
Since Chen Xiaolong had come to him, it was time to profit from him.
Consider it as making money to buy Nuonuo a handbag.
“Two million is too little, let’s make it five million,” Jiang Xu said.
Chen Xiaolong wasn’t short on cash; what he wanted was face, and to take up for Wang Shiya.
The first round began.
Jiang Xu called landlord.
The cards in his hand for the first round were very good.
The Big Joker, the Little Joker, a pair of twos, and a straight flush.
A direct Spring.
Chen Xiaolong’s face turned dark in an instant.
Five million was nothing to him, but having to proclaim himself a dumbass publicly was distressing.
Seeing his concern, Jiang Xu thoughtfully said, “Give me one million and you can skip a round, how about that?”
Chen Xiaolong’s eyes lit up: “Good, no problem!”
His pride was worth much more than a million.
The second round.
Jiang Xu’s hand was much weaker.
Normally, it would be tough to win.
But Jiang Xu wasn’t panicked at all, instead, his face bore the expression of someone holding a winning ticket.
This round, Chen Xiaolong had a great hand, but seeing Jiang Xu looking like that made him worry.
Does he have a better hand than mine?
He became instantly cautious.
So when they played, he was hesitant.
That let Jiang Xu play out many small cards.
In the end, he straightforwardly won the second round with a straight flush.
Chen Xiaolong was completely dumbfounded.
It was at that moment he realized he had been tricked by Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu said with a smile, “Same as before, a million. You don’t have to utter those four words.”
Chen Xiaolong’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, “Fine, another round.”
He refused to believe that Jiang Xu could keep winning.
The third game, and Jiang Xu was the landlord again.
The cards were fair and square this time.
He still wore the look of having the upper hand.
This time, Chen Xiaolong no longer trusted Jiang Xu, thinking that his hand must also be bad, so he played very aggressively.
Then, he was dumbfounded once again.
Jiang Xu won again.
Jiang Xu tried hard to suppress his laughter.
Chen Xiaolong was practically a godsend to him.
After three rounds, he had earned eighteen million.
If he could keep this up, maybe he could make tens of millions, or even a hundred million tonight.
Chen Xiaolong started to panic.
It was true his family was wealthy.
But to cultivate his ability to be self-reliant, his parents only left him a few billion on his bank card.
Now he had lost three games in a row and was running out of confidence.
Chen Xiaolong slapped his face, unwilling to believe in this curse.
He had to win a round tonight!
The fourth game began.
Jiang Xu looked at his own cards, then at Chen Xiaolong with a pitiful gaze.
Four twos, four aces, four kings, a straight flush—how do you propose to deal with that?
Without any surprise, he lost the fourth round, too.
By this time, Chen Xiaolong was almost ready to back down.
He couldn’t keep going like this.
Jiang Xu saw Chen Xiaolong’s inner thoughts at a glance.
Such a cash cow couldn’t be let go so easily.
So, before Chen Xiaolong could speak, he took the initiative and said, “Forget it, you’re just unlucky tonight. Let’s call it quits, consider it your win.”
Chen Xiaolong knew Jiang Xu was provoking him but still fell into the trap.
“No way, I was just warming up. Continue!”
Jiang Xu feigned concern, “That wouldn’t be good. If you end up losing a few billion, that would be really embarrassing for me.”
“Exactly, exactly,” Fu Yanjie echoed, “Young man, you shouldn’t be so impulsive.”
Chen Xiaolong slammed the table, “Cut the crap and start playing!”
“Ah,” Jiang Xu sighed, “All right then. Since Young Master Chen is interested,
I’ll have to accompany you.”
Continue!
In the fifth round, Jiang Xu had good cards again.
But considering the principle of waiting for a big catch with a long line, he let this fifth round go and finally let Chen Xiaolong win once.
Chen Xiaolong was leaping for joy, as happy as a child over a hundred pounds, regaining his confidence.
Round after round they continued.
Chen Xiaolong had completely fallen into Jiang Xu’s rhythm.
Basically sticking to the pattern of winning three times and letting Chen Xiaolong win once.
Before they knew it, two hours had slipped by.
After calculating, Jiang Xu had won one hundred and twenty million.
Chen Xiaolong waved his hand, “No more.”
He looked as if he had been hollowed out, eyes lifeless and face pale.
The loss this time was simply too great.
If his family found out, he would definitely be scolded rotten..
