Chapter 389 - 389 378 Qin Hu's New Tactics

389: Chapter 378: Qin Hu’s New Tactics 389: Chapter 378: Qin Hu’s New Tactics “Yo, class leader, why so late?” Qin Hu greeted with a chuckle.

“Doing laundry, why don’t you open a window, it feels like the roof’s on fire!” Yue Feng reminded with a smile, then casually took a seat next to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng was seated facing due south, and right now in front of him was a stack of hundred yuan bills, without a single coin in sight.

This wasn’t a good sign at all; only those who kept losing money would have no coins in front of them.

Could it be that Zhao Zheng was losing again today?

“How’s it going?” Yue Feng asked casually.

Zhao Zheng glanced at his cards: 2, 3, 5, the smallest ones.

He tossed them into the pile of cards without hesitation.

“Damn, haven’t had a good hand all day, so weird!” Zhao Zheng frowned and said.

Yue Feng nodded, said nothing, and started watching the game nonchalantly.

Everyone was still using the One Finger Zen method of drawing cards.

The cheating Yue Feng saw last time was no longer evident, but after patiently observing for a few rounds and focusing on the top card of the pile, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Magic Playing Cards!

Ace of Hearts

When Yue Feng’s Insight Skill scanned the top of the deck, he actually saw the Attribute and the suit of the card.

This top card appeared no different from the others—there’s a new trick at play here!

After observing for a while longer, Yue Feng noticed that the Q, K, A—a total of 12 cards—had all been switched to Magic Playing Cards, and Yue Feng could see their suits on the back.

For Yue Feng, being able to see the suits through his Insight Skill wasn’t surprising, but the person who switched the cards must also have a way to see the faces.

In a game like Three Card Brag, being able to see the QKA would give a huge advantage.

Playing it safe, one could practically guarantee to make a profit without loss.

“You’re not having much luck tonight.

Let me take a few turns!” Yue Feng lightly pushed Zhao Zheng and said.

Zhao Zheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this but still stood up to give Yue Feng his seat.

Yue Feng had said before back in the dorm that he never gambled—could there be another intention?

Quick-witted as Zhao Zheng was, his face showed no emotion, but his mind was racing.

Immediately, he pushed the Paper Money in front of him toward Yue Feng: “You take my place, losses are on me, and if you win, we split it fifty-fifty!”

Yue Feng didn’t utter a word and just made an OK gesture with his hand, then joined the fray.

Three Card Brag is a card game that truly tests one’s nerve and luck.

There are safe ways to play and bold ones too.

Now thinking about helping Zhao Zheng win back his stakes, being too cautious would be too slow for Yue Feng.

So, as soon as he joined the table, he started playing dark from the first hand.

Playing dark means to bet without looking at the cards, so if he bet five yuan, those who checked had to bet ten yuan, and opening the pot cost twenty yuan.

It’s definitely a high-risk, high-reward strategy.

However, the risk was much lower for Yue Feng, because he could see the suits of the big cards.

The battle that followed was quite straightforward.

Yue Feng played as if divinely inspired—whenever he had big cards, he played dark furiously, and with small ones, he checked a few rounds and dumped them.

In less than half an hour, he had won back more than two thousand yuan that Zhao Zheng had lost.

“Tsk tsk, class leader, your card skills and luck are something else!

It’s getting late; shouldn’t we be resting?

It’s nine forty!” Qin Hu appeared calm, but after checking the time, he couldn’t help speaking up.

The rule was lights out at ten, and sometimes drill instructors would come for a round before shutting off the lights—it really was getting late.

“Last hand, then we call it a night!”

The table reached a consensus, each drawing cards with One Finger Zen.

When two cards came into his hands, Yue Feng’s heart clenched—a pair of Aces.

The turn came around to him; before he could draw, his heart leapt—the top card was another Ace.

Three Aces!

That’s the Heavenly Card, unbeatable except by special house rules like the ‘235 kills all’.

Yue Feng actually encountered it on the very last hand.

Without looking at his cards, Yue Feng knew he had three aces and calmly surveyed everyone at the table.

Yue Feng said, “I’ve been losing all night, and now that I’ve just broken even, I have to earn at least something.

Let’s go all in this round.

No matter the cards I’m holding, I’m determined to make it to the finals.

That’s it!”

The so-called finals meant that only two people would remain betting at the table.

What Yue Feng meant was that he was ready to go down this path no matter the cost.

Hearing Yue Feng speak, Qin Hu glanced at his own cards and casually tossed them into the discard pile.

The others followed suit and placed their bets.

Mu Jie was not sure whether his luck was good or bad this round, with an 8, 9, 10 suited straight flush.

It was a very strong hand.

Besides Mu Jie, Zhao Zhe also had a strong hand, a pair of kings and a queen.

With high cards in his pocket, Yue Feng remained unfazed, betting round after round, and soon, the money on the table exceeded a thousand.

In the end, the other players looked at their cards and gave up, leaving only Mu Jie, Zhao Zhe, and Yue Feng.

You can’t make much money from low-value cards; it’s a different story when it’s a showdown between strong hands.

Zhao Zhe continued to bet several rounds but ultimately couldn’t bear it and folded.

The money on the table had already surpassed two thousand.

Three aces against a straight flush was like Mars colliding with Earth.

Mu Jie bet wildly, and Yue Feng, still dark on his cards, followed suit until he threw all his cash into the pot, then stopped.

“Aren’t you going to look at your cards, squad leader?” Mu Jie swallowed hard and said.

Yue Feng shook his head, “Ten turns into twenty, Zhao Zheng has got me covered.

It’s the last round, so what’s the rush?

No need to look!

Twenty and we reveal the cards.

If you can’t take it, then let’s see them.

I’m fine either way!”

Mu Jie indeed felt the pressure; he had thrown more than a thousand into a pot at a game where the stakes are normally five for twenty, which was already quite outrageous.

However, Mu Jie was still a bit greedy.

He had a straight flush, and since the opponent hadn’t looked at his cards, the probability of winning was almost certain!

“Let’s add 500 for the last bet and compare the sizes to see who wins.

What do you say?” Mu Jie proposed.

Yue Feng nodded, “Okay!”

“I have an 8, 9, 10 suited straight flush!” Mu Jie revealed his cards and said.

Yue Feng let go of his covered cards and pulled out the first one.

A

The second one, still an A

The final card, still an A!!

“Hahaha, three aces, a set!

Thanks everyone, Zhao Zheng, hand out the cigarettes!!!!” Yue Feng laughed and proudly displayed his three aces.

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded, Yue Feng had not looked at his cards from the beginning and yet had produced a Heavenly Card of three aces.

One needed extraordinary luck for that, let alone it being against a straight flush.

If played well, such a hand could rectify an entire night’s losses.

“Damn, Feng bro, what luck you’ve got, awesome!!

Everyone, have a cigarette!!” Zhao Zheng pulled out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, visibly excited.

“Squad leader, your luck is really something!

There are always bigger fish!

Let’s call it a night, we can play again some other time!!” Qin Hu said calmly.

With that hand, Yue Feng pocketed nearly three thousand, counted his winnings contently, then returned to the dorm with Zhao Zheng.

“Here’s your capital back, and from now on, we can’t play cards with them anymore!” Once they reached the dorm, Yue Feng’s smile vanished as he returned the money to Zhao Zheng.

“What’s going on?

Is someone cheating again?” Zhao Zheng was utterly confused.
