Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 177: Chapter 160: Gambling God?

Before the second last card was dealt.

The spectators’ reactions varied widely.

Qin Liang and Zhao Chun’ai were frowning.

Cheng Rong and a few high-level casino officials were chatting casually.

Wang Qin, Old Zhang, and the others who were overseeing the gambling had smiles on their faces.

Without exception, they all believed Lu Li was bound to lose.

And lose nearly two billion at that.

But just then.

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, ”Oh my god!”

Everyone turned towards the voice.

It was one of the people overseeing the gambling who was startled.

Seeing this, everyone thought, what’s the matter with you?

Before they could finish that thought, they saw the young man overseeing the gambling pointing at the large screen, dumbfounded, saying: ”Can this really happen?”

Huh?

What do you mean can this happen?

Is it really that surprising?

Everyone looked at the television screen in confusion.

And then they all froze!

...

3!

When Zhang Jianmin turned over the second last card.

The few people at the gambling table were shocked to realize.

This turned out to be the fourth 3 of the deck!

Zhang Jianmin, who turned the card over himself, had his smile transform into shock!

Suqi, who was eating fruit, almost spit out the kiwi berry she had just bitten into!

Zhao Haizhe, Zheng Ya, and Greg, who were discussing what the second last card might be.

Although they knew Zhang Jianmin was cheating, they really didn’t know what the last card was.

Moreover, they had to put on a show in front of Lu Li.

So, they pretended to have a lively discussion.

But now, their chatter stopped abruptly.

Their expressions also turned to shock!

Even the female dealer standing aside had an exaggerated look on her face.

Her mouth slightly opened, and her eyes widened as if in disbelief that the second last card was actually a 3!

Silence!

Dead silence!

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change!

Only Lu Li casually picked up a piece of chocolate next to him and popped it into his mouth, biting down with a ”crunch”.

Perhaps it was this sound that snapped everyone back to reality!

”3?” Suqi still had kiwi berry pulp in her mouth, her words mumbled but her shock clear, ”How can it be a 3? How can a 3 turn up?”

Greg was truly bewildered, ”Jesus! Please tell me all of this isn’t real!”

Zheng Ya and Zhao Haizhe looked at each other, truly incredulous.

Not everyone was aware of the situation.

But those invited to take down Lu Li’s cheating did know, didn’t they?

Zhang Jianmin had dealt from a shuffled deck before.

By all accounts, there was no way the second last card could be a 3.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have willingly taken out an extra billion to bet with Lu Li.

But now!

Yet at this moment!

That 3 lay quietly there.

As if mocking Zhang Jianmin’s proud cheating skills!

Zhang Jianmin first stood silent for a long, long time.

Then he seemed to break down and suddenly looked up.

Flushed and agitated, he exclaimed, ”You cheating bastard!”

Hearing this, Zheng Ya, Zhao Haizhe, Greg, and Suqi’s faces changed, and they quickly lowered their heads.

Clearly, it was their side who cheated first.

Now Zhang Jianmin broke character and falsely accused Lu Li of cheating.

This already broke the rules.

They couldn’t be caught up in this.

Lu Li didn’t seem angry at all, calmly seated, he said, ”Mr. Zhang, you can play with words, but don’t speak carelessly, you’re saying I’m cheating? Fine, we can have the casino check the surveillance and see who’s really cheating!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianmin’s previously flushed face immediately turned purple.

Although the casino gave them some leeway with the cameras, making it not so easy to spot cheating, a thorough review might still expose flaws.

Zhang Jianmin had indeed cheated before.

Would he dare really check the surveillance?

Thinking quickly, he forced a smile and changed his tone, ”I didn’t say you, Mr. Lu, were cheating, but your gambling skills are so good it’s as if you are. Right, how did you know the second last card would be a 3?”

Saying this, Zhang Jianmin’s heart was bleeding.

Losing nearly two billion at once.

How could he not be heartbroken?

But he was pinned down by Lu Li’s words.

He could only swallow his pride in silence.

The humiliation was indescribable.

Honestly, not just Zhang Jianmin felt Lu Li was cheating.

Zheng Ya, Suqi, Greg, and Zhao Haizhe all thought Lu Li was cheating.

They just couldn’t figure out how.

Lu Li sat at a distance from the cards.

It seemed impossible he had any chance to manipulate them.

So how did he cheat?

The crowd didn’t believe the second last card being a 3 was by chance.

But Lu Li really didn’t seem to have had an opportunity to cheat.

Thus, Zheng Ya, Zhao Haizhe, and others couldn’t help but suspect Zhang Jianmin made an error amidst chaos, leading to such a situation.

Lu Li spread his hands and said: ”I didn’t know if a 3 would come up either, to be honest, before the two cards were revealed, I had no idea what they would be. But I trust my luck, so I just kept betting to the end.”

Zheng Ya: ”...”

Zhang Jianmin: ”...”

Suqi and the others: ”...”

If they didn’t already know that Zhang Jianmin was cheating, they might have almost believed Lu Li’s nonsense!

...

The spectators in the viewing area were all a bit stunned by the huge twist.

At first, everyone saw Zhang Jianmin’s three Aces and thought he had a sure win.

Who would have thought, at the end of one’s rope, a miraculous turn would occur.

Lu Li actually managed to draw a 3 on the last card!

Cheng Rong and the casino executives looked peculiar.

They were also in the know.

Therefore, they really didn’t expect that even with Zhang Jianmin cheating, he couldn’t win against Lu Li.

Of course, since the outcome didn’t have much to do with Cheng Rong and the casino executives, they were just surprised.

The person with the worst expression on the scene was probably Wang Qin, Old Zhang, and the other monitors.

They calculated everything but didn’t see this coming.

Five cheats ganged up on Lu Li.

Yet it ended up with Lu Li reaping the benefits alone.

In just a few hands.

Lu Li had already slaughtered them all!

Unlike Wang Qin, Old Zhang, and others who looked grim.

Qin Liang, Zhao Chun’ai, Ye Xiaobing, and Mei Ruohua, on the other hand, were marveling over there.

”This is really spectacular!”

”Isn’t it? At first, I thought Zhang Jianmin was going to win, who knew it would turn out like this.”

”I said Mr. Lu would bet on two hole cards.”

”Could it be Mr. Lu predicted the second hole card would be a 3?”

”I think it’s unlikely. Mr. Lu hadn’t even looked at his own hand cards earlier. I think his win was due mainly to an incredible streak of luck.”

”Whether it’s luck or not, a win is a win!”

”Spectacular!”

”This round of gambling really was too spectacular!”

”Mr. Lu’s luck is just too good!”

”Indeed, to win with such cards is amazing!”

”Although luck plays a big part, looking at so many games, Mr. Lu is likely an expert in playing Texas Hold’em.”

”Isn’t that obvious? You don’t win so many chips without being an expert.”

”Exactly, Mr. Lu is clearly a top-notch Texas Hold’em player!”

While everyone enjoyed watching, they were also impressed by Lu Li’s card skills.

Zhao Chun’ai watched with excitement and said, ”Hehe, Mr. Lu is truly amazing.”

Qin Liang chuckled and said, ”Really didn’t expect the second hole card to be a 3.”

Mei Ruohua looked at Lu Li’s handsome face on the big screen and sighed, ”I’ve worked in the casino for many years, and to be honest, I’ve never seen a match like this.”

Ye Xiaobing and Cheng Rong nodded in agreement.

They knew Zhang Jianmin was cheating too.

Imagine, even though Zhang Jianmin was cheating.

Lu Li still managed to turn the tables.

Who could believe it?

Up till now, Ye Xiaobing, Cheng Rong, and others still didn’t know what kind of magic Lu Li used to unravel Zhang Jianmin’s cheating.

...

At the poker table.

Lu Li wasn’t aware of the many changes in perception from those watching.

He simply watched as the female dealer pushed a large stack of chips in front of him, unable to suppress the surge of joy in his heart.

This game between him and Zhang Jianmin was undeniably huge.

The stakes had reached an astounding 393 million Hong Kong Dollars.

Lu Li won.

All these chips naturally belonged to him.

Though the casino would take a 3% rake.

He actually received 382.083 million in chips.

What was Lu Li’s actual cost for this hand?

Apart from the initial 155.14 million.

He later added 40.16 million in credit chips.

Meaning a total of 195.3 million.

Calculating this way, he won a whopping 186.783 million Hong Kong Dollars in chips with this hand!

Including previous winnings.

In fact, he had already won over 240 million.

Towards the target of 400 million.

He was only 160 million away.

Looking at it this way, as long as Lu Li exerts just a bit more effort, he can achieve his goal.

Actually, regardless of whether he ultimately reaches the goal or not.

Just the previous pot bonus totaling over 80 million.

This time nearly 400 million.

If word gets out.

As the one who won the match, Lu Li.

He might be crowned with the title of Gambling God!

”Mr. Lu, you’re about to make a name for yourself.” Zhang Jianmin said meaningfully, then stood up and said, ”I’ve lost all my chips, so from here on out, it’s up to you all.”

With that, he left somewhat dejectedly.

No one anticipated that the former Asian Gambling King would be the first to be eliminated.

Zheng Ya, Greg, Zhao Haizhe, and Suqi felt their hearts grow heavy.

Among those cheating to corner Lu Li, Zhang Jianmin was the most skilled.

Now that he was out.

Whether they could successfully complete the task depended on the few of them.

Lu Li sat there composedly, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

From the showdown just now with Zhang Jianmin.

Lu Li had already discovered a way to win all these people’s chips in one go.

Next hand, he would definitely finish the game at once!
