Idle game leads to another world

The man in front of him was sitting against the wall. The bar chairs were too small, or maybe the man was too tall. He could not lean his shoulders against the back of the chair, and he sat with his legs almost against the wall.

He looked like a cowboy, especially with a wide cowboy hat on his head, which was even more conspicuous.

The light from the wall lamp on the wall fell down and shone on the cowboy hat, forming a shadow that was neither too big nor too small, just covering the man's face.

He took the card that Jiang Zhe had changed and flipped it up and down on his fingertips like playing a poker chip. If you look closely, you can even see the frightened expression of Jiang Zhe, who has become a second dimension, but he can't make any sound.

Then, Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei, who were shocked, felt the sight of the man in the shadow.

"Two more? Not bad"

His voice sounded about thirty to forty years old, not old.

Of course, this is on the premise that he is a human being.

He could speak, and Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei immediately woke up from their shock.

Gan Xiaoyan almost growled:

"What did you do to him!"

"Nothing, just a willingness to accept defeat."

The two then noticed that the table in front of the man was actually a small square table with a set of playing cards and scattered chips on it.

"Judging from your reaction, you know this boy, right?"

The man shook the cards in his hand, then took out something like a photo album from his coat and opened it. It was densely packed with transparent cards with characters printed on them.

Are they all people?

He stuffed Jiang Zhe's card into the empty space and then closed the album.

"It's easy to get him back. Sit down and play with me. If you win, you take him. If you lose, you keep him. How about that? It's a good deal, right?"

The man could feel him laughing, but the strong sense of threat lingered.

But do you really have to sit down and gamble with this monster?

Gan Xiaoyan did want to save Jiang Zhe, but she felt that there was a high probability that she would lose herself.

Then, don't gamble, turn around and find Li Chengxi, and come back after finding Li Chengxi.

At that time, it will not be a question of whether to gamble or not, but whether this grandson begs for mercy quickly enough.

It seems that the latter is the wisest choice. After all, gambling with such an unidentified monster is too risky.

But Gan Xiaoyan is not sure whether she can find it back once she walks out of this bar.

The entire cabin is extremely strange. The area has long exceeded the size of the hull seen from the outside. The route is also extremely complicated, and there is almost no guidance. Once you leave, you may not be able to come back.

If so, what should Jiang Zhe do?

Gan Xiaoyan was a little entangled, and the man urged:

"If you don't plan to play, then go, I've played enough today, and it's time to go home."

The meaning is very clear. If you don't gamble, Jiang Zhe will not come back.

What should I do? What should I do?

Gan Xiaoyan found it difficult to make a decision, and at this time, Lei Lei shook her hand and gave Gan Xiaoyan a look of "I will help you".

This made Gan Xiaoyan determined.

"How are you going to bet?"

"Okay! It's not bad to add two more collections at the end."

The man said happily, pointing to the table:

"It's the last hand today, let's play something simple, let's play Black Jack, either of you can play."

The scattered poker cards on the table suddenly floated up in the air, and were stacked again and placed in a corner of the table.

This also allowed the two to see what was covered by the poker cards just now, a metal plate etched with poker cards.

It read:

'Gambling table instructions'

1. The poker cards will be automatically shuffled to ensure that no one will tamper with them.

2. Both parties need to agree on the bet before the game starts, and once the bet is made, it cannot be changed.

3. The bet will be strictly executed in accordance with the prior agreement and no breach of contract is allowed.

There are only these three points above. This ghost ship really has rules everywhere.

"Don't think about refusing to pay if you lose. You have also seen the end of that boy. It will be enforced."

The man explained, which made Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei focus on him again.

"So, let's start?"

"Wait, I need to ask some questions."

"Of course, it's your right."

Gan Xiaoyan said:

"First we need to make sure that the people you took away are still alive?"

"Yes, I don't like dead people."

"If you release them, will they still be alive?"

"No problem, at most they will just fall asleep for a while."

At this time Lei Lei interrupted:

"What is Black Jack?"

"A simple card game to see whose card is closer to the number 21"

Lei Lei then understood, oh, it's 21 points?

So she said to Gan Xiaoyan:

"Let me do it, from childhood to adulthood, I have never lost in card games."

Gan Xiaoyan was a little worried. After all, although the rules of 21 points are simple, it is actually a mathematical game. Players with strong mental arithmetic skills can guarantee the winning rate.

But seeing Lei Lei's confidence, Gan Xiaoyan herself was actually unsure, so she didn't force it, and gave up her seat to let Lei Lei sit opposite the man.

"Do you have any more questions?"

"Yes."

Gan Xiaoyan said:

"How much do you know about this ship?"

At this time, the two could feel the man in the shadows' eyes flicker slightly.

"A lot, but...if you don't bet, I won't tell you for free."

"What if we bet?"

"You can ask, I will try my best to answer, and I promise that it is all true."

The wording of trying my best to answer is very vague.

"You know, some things are not suitable to be said everywhere, and I also have the right to choose to answer or not, but I promise not to lie."

It seems that the other party does not want to give in on this point.

Gan Xiaoyan nodded:

"In this case, let's make the bet clear. You have to answer my questions during the bet, and if you win, you have to release my companions."

"No problem, if I win, you will be my new collection."

"We need to check the poker cards, do you have any objections?"

"Of course not, please feel free."

The corners of the man's mouth in the shadows seemed to curl up, and he pushed the poker cards in the middle of the table over.

Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei carefully checked it and confirmed that it was just an ordinary deck of poker cards, with no traces of magic power and no place to cheat.

The man was very patient and did not rush at all.

After the two of them checked the poker cards, he said:

"The rules of the game are that the first person to win three times is the winner."

"We have no objection."

"Well, let's start the game."

As soon as he finished speaking, the poker cards piled in the middle of the table seemed to be picked up by an invisible person, automatically shuffled, and quickly put back on the table.

"Ladies first."

Two poker cards flew up one after another and landed in front of Lei Lei, and then the man was dealt the cards.

It seems that there is a margin of error to say that the first person to win three times is the final winner, but considering Jiang Zhe's performance just now, this margin of error may be more like some kind of psychological oppression.

Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan looked at each other, quietly opened the cards and took a look...
