Chapter 614 Someone tried to gamble with the time-stop
Due to Mo Cheng's intervention, the gambling game on the table was not the dice that Helena had promised before, but cards.
Four suits, thirteen numbers, plus two special cards that are excluded. No matter what this kind of cards is called in the continent of Kovale, to Mo Cheng it is the most standard playing cards.
"As gamblers change, the way we gamble has to change as well."
Morris was very unhappy about being forced to admit the bet, so he naturally used his authority to make a bet with a great advantage or even a winning advantage. "Let's bet on cards. By the way, cards are what I am best at."
"It doesn't matter, let's get started."
Mo Cheng didn't care at all, even though he knew that the guy in front of him was probably an extremely skilled gambler.
"Don't be impatient, sir, we haven't talked about the bet yet ."
As he spoke, ten chips appeared in front of Mo Cheng and Morris, with their portraits on the front of each chip. At the same time, Mo Cheng also sensed that there was something in this place, bypassing his body and establishing a connection with his soul.
A method for the soul?
Mo Cheng's fingers moved slightly, and he was already thinking in his heart whether he could use the [Time Barrier] to kill the opponent before the opponent could attack his soul.
At the same time, the scope of speculation about the identity of the guy behind Morris was greatly narrowed.
After all, there are not many races that have the talent to attack the soul directly.
"Ten chips represent souls. Every time you lose a chip, you lose the corresponding soul. Once all the chips are lost, then..."
"Then my soul belongs to you. Tsk, you have such a big appetite. Do you want to directly obtain my soul and all my knowledge and information?"
"After all, the bargaining chip you mentioned is irresistible. In order to obtain the most accurate information, I naturally have to obtain your soul and slowly interrogate it." Morris smiled and spread his hands, saying meaningfully, "And the information you want can only be obtained in this way, and you will feel at ease."
Mo Cheng nodded. What the other party said was right. No matter who wins, getting the relevant information will feel unsafe. Therefore, it is safest to grasp the other party's soul without any trace that can be concealed.
The only difference between the two is that Mo Cheng does not have this method of controlling souls.
"Let's get started."
Without any intention of continuing the conversation, Morris naturally picked up the cards and dealt them to him and Mo Cheng. According to the rules, if Mo Cheng had any objection to the dealer, he could let other people present act as dealers.
But Mo Cheng didn't bring it up, so Morris naturally wouldn't remind him and just dealt the cards directly.
After a few dazzling shuffling and cutting movements, the cards seemed to be shuffled in a very chaotic manner, but in fact, Morris had already shuffled the cards he wanted into the exact positions, and they would be dealt to him once the deal began.
The game method used is [Stud], and the victory or defeat is determined by the arrangement and combination of five cards, the points and the size of the suit.
At the beginning of the game, each player will receive a hole card, which is a hidden card.
When the second card is dealt, the person with the higher card decides the bet amount, and others have the right to choose to [Call], [Raise] or [Give Up].
When all five cards have been dealt, each player turns over all their hole cards for comparison.
All abilities are prohibited in the gambling game, which seems to be to ensure some kind of fair rules. In fact, when everyone is [invited] in, their related powers are restricted by some rules.
Morris quickly dealt a hidden card and an open card to himself and Mo Cheng respectively. Morris's open card was the 8 of Diamonds, and Mo Cheng's open card was the 10 of Spades.
According to the rules, Mo Cheng can choose the bet amount.
Mo Cheng pushed the ten chips representing his soul forward and said without thinking, "Be cool! (Bet all, and win or lose will be decided by one bet)."
He didn't even look at what his hidden cards were.
Even the other people watching the gambling were frightened by Mo Cheng's operation. These people had gambled before, but no one would put all their chips ALL IN at the beginning.
This way of playing will result in death very quickly most of the time.
Morris looked at Mo Cheng, his fingers tightly gripping the deck. He had never seen gambling in this way, let alone the stakes were souls.
This made Morris feel that Mo Cheng was teasing him, "You don't know how to gamble at all, you will regret it."
Mo Cheng just half closed his eyelids, "Follow, deal the cards. If you don't follow, give up."
If he gave up, he would lose the initial chip. Although one chip was nothing in a gambling game, Morris knew that all the next gambling games of the other party would be against him when he saw Mo Cheng like this .
"I'll follow!"
As he spoke, Morris also pushed his chips forward. He was not acting completely on impulse. In his hand, he had already used a clever shuffling technique to shuffle the big and good cards to the positions where they would definitely be dealt to him.
"Deal the cards."
Morris didn't say much and started dealing five cards to both sides. This time, he noticed something was wrong as soon as he dealt the cards.
In his memory, the card that was going to be dealt to Mo Cheng should be a 3 of diamonds, but the card dealt out this time was a J of spades.
The next card dealt to him should have been the 8 of clubs, but what appeared was the K of hearts.
Wrong, all wrong.
At this moment, Morris knew that all the cards in his hand had changed. He realized something and was about to cheat by keeping the card that should have been given to Mo Cheng and giving the card that should have been given to himself to Mo Cheng.
But as soon as his fingers touched his own cards, he felt a sharp pain.
"Your fingers are not listening." Mo Cheng showed a ferocious smile on his face, "In our place, cheating will result in your hand being chopped off. I'll give you one more chance, and deal the cards honestly."
At this moment, Morris realized that Mo Cheng had the ability to bypass the rules of this place, and the other party must have tampered with the cards just now.
But even though he was aware of this, the rules of this place allowed cheating, but they could not obstruct the gambling.
So no matter how unwilling Morris was, he could only watch his hand deal five cards.
Morris feebly turned over his hidden card. It was undoubtedly another card. The five cards could not be combined at all. They were just a random hand. The largest card was only an Ace of Hearts.
Mo Cheng's open cards are 9, 10, J, Q, and K of spades, a royal flush arrangement that is almost impossible to appear in gambling.
Morris was certain that the hidden card had long been replaced with the Ace of Spades.
Mo Cheng had no doubt about his victory. When he mastered the [Time Barrier], changing cards by stopping time was a simple matter.
