Chapter 11 The Track of the Undercurrent
Not to mention Hopkins, even laymen can see that Ryunosuke has caught a big name.
Therefore, Eric and Hopkins didn't need to communicate at all, and they also knew that the "fast attack" tactic should be adopted in this game.
However, perhaps it is really that "fortune" has turned... Eric's starting hand is so bad that it is difficult to describe. That messy card face is nowhere to be seen from the draw.
Even if Hopkins plays this kind of hand, it will take at least six tours to make a turnaround. Now that Eric holds it, it is definitely impossible to attack. It would be nice to be able to send Hu to his companions without igniting cannons.
On the other hand, Hopkins's hand is not ideal; his card is not bad, it is just very "heavy", and belongs to the type of "doing it in the direction of big cards if you want to do it". It is difficult to make a quick card.
It was in such a situation that Ryunosuke used the bold style of playing at the end of the last game and took action decisively.
After just six tours, it was...
"Touch yourself!" This is not the biggest hand of Ryunosuke Hu, but it is the most exciting hand. "Get together, the door clear touches yourself, brings all the best, three dark monuments, middle monuments, treasure card one!"
Three times full (the probability of occurrence is only 0.04%, which is lower than the full service. If it is the dealer Hu, he will win 36,000 points, and the idle Hu will win 24,000 points), an incredible reversal.
There is a saying among "experts" that mahjong is not a game that makes one's own cards, but a game that suppresses opponents.
But at this moment, in these three games, Ryunosuke made such a big name in front of experts like Hopkins, following the layman's idea of "wanting to let myself betray as soon as possible".
This is...strong luck.
Apart from making a thousand, it is extremely difficult to fight against by normal means, and the strongest weapon of gamblers.
"Hahaha... It seems that 'fortune' is more effective than you think, Mr. Hopkins." When the mahjong table was automatically shuffled, Ryunosuke took the opportunity to mock Hopkins; he did not forget the embarrassment that the Star County gambling king had brought to him with his ability. Now that he has seized the opportunity, how can he not exclaim his anger?
"Ha..." Hopkins just sneered and responded, "Maybe..."
After all, Ryunosuke had an identity there, and Hopkins didn't dare to be too rash in his words, but he was not so polite to Shizuo....
"Suka, I don't know what you're doing..." Hopkins then said to Suka, "But if you think that 'you can play the same trick twice in front of me'... that would be a big mistake."
Obviously, Hopkins believes that the result of this game was caused by the use of Qiansui; and his words were equivalent to admitting... He did not see through Shisui's method.
Although Hopkins was already feeling a little guilty at this moment, on the surface, he still put on the airs of the Star County Gambling King and tried to overwhelm the other party from his momentum, making Suo dare not give out Qian again, or let Qian Shu reveal his flaws due to nervousness.
"Oh? Do you think I was the one who was messing around in the game just now?" Suo looked at Hopkins with a mocking look on his face, "Ha... So that's it. The so-called 'Star County Gambling King' is a guy who doesn't even know he is 'destroyed'."
"What did you say?" Hopkins asked sternly.
"Don't you understand?" Suo replied quickly, smoking a cigarette, "Okay... I'll just treat it as a charity and tell you something."
As he said that, Suo raised his head and looked at the black suit beside him and said, "Hey, brother dealer, can you pause the game a little and give me two mahjong dices?"
A second later, the black suit replied: "As long as other players on this table have no objection."
So Suzu quickly asked the other three and got a positive answer, accusation and insignificance.
Seeing this, the black suit immediately turned on the walkie-talkie and asked someone to send dice over. At the same time, he also came forward in person and pushed the new card that had just been placed into the mahjong table, closed the tabletop, and suspended the shuffle function.
Soon, the dice came.
Those are two ordinary white dice, the type commonly used for non-automatic shuffling mahjong.
After taking the dice, Suo immediately threw it on the table, threw two "1s", and said to Hopkins: "You should know this, right?"
After saying this, he grabbed the dice again and threw it in a second. This time two "2" appeared.
"Are you kidding?" As Hopkins finished the first half of the sentence, Suzu cast two more "3s".
"Is it possible that this kind of basic skills that a new guy can do, right?" When Hopkins finished speaking, Suzu had already thrown out a pair of "4" and a pair of "5".
"Ha... that's OK." As Suga said, he put the dice in front of Hopkins, "If you can help me roll two '6's."
"What do you want to prove?" Hopkins did not rush to grab the dice, but glared at Shoto, "I don't understand what the meaning of this."
"The meaning is... let you know that your 'luck' has been exhausted." Suzu replied.
"Ha!" Hopkins laughed and said in English, "This has something to do with luck?" He grabbed the dice and held it in his hand. "What luck does this kind of thing that can be successful if you throw ten thousand times? "
He was right, the technique of "rolling two dice with bare hands and getting the points you want" is one of the most basic and simplest gambling techniques; as long as you know the hand shape and technique, and after a certain amount of practice, even children can do it. There are even many gambling sticks who are not "experts" at all, which can be learned, and no one in the circle of experts can do it.
Letting a gambler of Hopkins throw this kind of dice is like letting a professional basketball point guard demonstrate the most basic dribbling movements on the spot. Of course, no matter how many times you do it, you won't make any mistakes.
However……
"Um..." When the dice fell, Hopkins showed shock and let out a muffled groan.
"This..." Eric next to him was not as strong as him, but he was also quite surprised.
It is this "one who can succeed ten thousand times by investing ten thousand times", a gambler like Hopkins, which is as casual as breathing... At this moment, it failed.
The second dice rolled half a circle when it fell, and finally showed a result of a "6" and a "3".
"How is that possible?" Hopkins' face turned pale, and the anxiety and fear in his heart surged out in a blowout.
He had carefully checked the dice just now. He started to roll it after he made sure that the Saka had not touched his hands and feet. There was no problem with the same gesture. He had made thousands of times with the same gesture, regardless of the strength, angle, grip before taking action, and posture when leaving the hand, it was all perfect.
But, the result was that it was unsuccessful.
The only reason that can explain this phenomenon is that it is bad luck.
Perhaps the table on the boat was uneven, perhaps the one on the table was static, or perhaps the table had ups and downs that were not easily noticeable to the naked eye... In short, some situation that was very slim in probability made Hopkins unable to throw the points he wanted.
"Titagawa had encountered that situation once." A few seconds later, Shizuo looked at Hopkins again and said, "It was only once... that made him give up the idea of continuing to gamble." He paused, "At that time, I didn't know that there was a saying among the old men - 'The luck of a person in this life... will be used up. Most people will almost use up their luck before they die, but professional gamblers are different. They have too much luck... So, when certain signs appear, regardless of whether they have enough capital to retire, they must leave the world of gambling, otherwise... will die'."
When Suo said this, he spat out: "Furo...but, using the theory you believe in to explain it, this is just a probability... right?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Nothing can prove it!" Hopkins' panic quickly turned into anger, "Eric, don't listen to him nonsense, this is his psychological tactic... He wants to disturb us!"
"Uh...ah." Eric was stunned for a moment and continued, "It's okay, Mr. Hopkins, I won't believe in the fallacy of 'fortune'."
"Then keep going." Suzu spread his hands and smiled, "Look at who it is, you will eventually fall into the abyss called gambling."
…………
At the same time, on the same floor, in a certain cabin.
The "host" gentleman was sitting on a chair at this moment, looking at the electronic telephony card in his hand with a nervous look on his face.
After announcing the prize, he returned to this private cabin and never stepped out of it. He just waited silently for the arrival of new "instructions".
Crack, chi—
Suddenly, the electronic lock of the hatch door opened from outside, and a figure appeared at the door.
He was a decent man, around thirty years old, of medium figure, dressed in a decent suit, and his hair was combed in a tactile manner.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to visit you until now." Ah Xiu's conversation was very polite. As he said, he walked into the cabin and brought the door. "It was because I couldn't pull myself away before, so I dragged it..."
"You...Who are you?" The host, known as Mr. Zhang, looked at the strange man in front of him and interrupted with a hesitant face.
