Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 285 Professional Gambler

As a new way of playing that was recently introduced from the Western Regions, covering the hands is extremely popular in various urban areas of Scott, and even often appears in some tavern games and family games.

This game, which requires reaction, sensitivity, luck, and improvisational decision-making, is very popular among intelligent races. It is also a rare game that even novices can quickly master and easily win.

Bai Hao did not intend to play the game himself. In fact, Bai Hao had no interest in any gambling card game. He chose to follow Youla and give her advice, but he was more concerned with observing the physical reactions of the gamblers.

While Bai Hao and Hillelia were playing the Three Gods Battle upstairs, Campbell's Anbu had already completed the investigation of the lobby on the first floor of Yaojin Building. Nearly 80% of the gamblers here were believers of Tianming Yileisi.

Bai Hao brought Youla to a gambling table near the door, intending to play from the outside to the inside. He wanted to let Youla come into contact with as many believers of the God of Destiny as possible, so as to obtain more research data and observation samples.

Youla was a little nervous because she was facing a sturdy, bearded dwarf... He was a famous old gambler in Skinley.

Not all dwarves only like forging and wine. The dwarf in front of him particularly likes gambling houses. He spends all the money he earns from forging in Scott's various gambling houses.

Nine times out of ten you lose when gambling?

No, it should be that he loses every time he gambles. This principle is fully demonstrated in him because over the past hundreds of years, he would leave the gambling house with all his money lost every time.

He was given the title of gambling master, not because of how great he was, but because he could become a teacher of admonition to all those who had just entered the gambling house. His hundreds of years of experience in the gambling house enabled him to become a mentor to everyone.

If you think you have good luck and can make a lot of money in the casino, then please look at the gambler. He once had such good luck that his capital increased thousands of times overnight, but now he is still poor.

The gambler is short, so he often carries a folding stool with him when he enters and leaves the gambling house. The stool can be extended or retracted at will, which makes the gambler standing on it always look superior to others.

In his opinion, if you have a better chance than your opponent when betting, you will have better luck, and he firmly believes that there is a lot to learn in this area.

Therefore, the gambler is a very loyal believer in the god of fate. He often performs some rituals that seem grand but are actually useless in order to enhance his luck.

When the gambler saw Youla coming to his gambling table, he immediately shook his thick beard and then showed his ugly black teeth. Bai Hao could barely make out that he was smiling, and it was a very contemptuous smile.

"Little girl, you know the rules of covering your hand, right?"

The gloomy growl directly scared Youla. Youla turned around and looked at Bai Hao, then nodded immediately and took out the chips to exchange for some gold coins specially used for covering the hand cards.

The gambler couldn't help but feel ecstatic when he saw Youla's clumsy movements in taking the gold coins. He knew that Youla was definitely a novice and it might even be her first time to play with covered cards.

Just being able to meet a novice like Youla means my luck is extremely good. It looks like I can win a lot of money tonight.

The gambler was very skilled at tossing the gold coins. Dozens of gold coins drew elegant arcs in the air, appearing extremely dazzling under the bright lights in the hall, and looked strangely beautiful.

When all the gold coins fell from the air into the gambler's broad palm, Youla hurriedly covered it with her delicate and white little hand. Since the radius of the gold coins was very small, Youla could easily cover more than a dozen gold coins.

Just at the moment when the two bodies touched, the gambler showed an unusual physical reaction, and Bai Hao immediately opened the divine vision to record this change.

The pupil shrinks by 80%.

The body temperature rises dramatically.

The hairs on his body stood up, especially the hairs on his right hand that was in contact with Yura.

Enlarged skin pores.

The magic power is flowing around me...

Bai Hao quickly recorded the gambler's physical changes in his notebook. It didn't matter whether he won or lost the cards. He had already got the experimental report he wanted.

"Five straight!" Youla casually guessed the front and back of the gold coin, while the gambler still looked a little dazed and did not speak.

The referee at the side looked at the bewildered look of the gambling master with some confusion, but still said loudly: "If you don't say anything, it will be considered as a waiver. The time has exceeded 3 seconds."

The gambler didn't come to his senses until the gold coins in his hand were taken back. He looked at Youla in panic, looking at this ordinary human girl with some disbelief.

"You, did you use some kind of spiritual magic? I just actually, actually..."

Before Youla could say anything, the judge next to him scolded: "Is it possible that I don't know whether she used magic or not? This is my job. Are you questioning my blindness?"

The gambler could only laugh off the umpire's scolding. As a frequent visitor to the casino, he knew very well that he could not offend anyone here, especially the umpire or the dealer, otherwise his luck would become very bad.

When Bai Hao saw that the experimental data had been collected, he wanted to take Youla to the next gambling table, but when he turned to leave, he was stopped by the gambler.

"Hey, little human girl, can you play another round with me? I just had a little accident..."

"No, I never gamble with the same person twice at the same gambling table. This is my principle!" Youla said the words that Bai Hao taught her in advance in a firm tone.

Bai Hao learned that almost every experienced gambler had some inexplicable quirks, such as performing a sacrificial dance before gambling, drinking a glass of wine mixed with horse urine, wearing red clothes, etc.

"Oh, so, then, can I follow you and watch? I want to learn your exquisite gambling skills..."

Bai Hao immediately showed a surprised expression when he heard this.

Learn gambling skills? Learn from Youla? Youla's gambling skills are almost 99% luck, and the remaining 1% depends on mood. There is no skill at all.

But Youla's operation just now was really amazing. There were a total of 5 gold coins, and Youla just guessed the front side of gold coins correctly. This is a way to win with a very high odds.

Unable to overcome the gambler's persistence, Bai Hao finally ignored him and just let him follow him. However, Bai Hao didn't know that this was just the beginning of something unusual tonight.
