Su Yu has already played one game of chess.
He then turned his gaze to the examination room; there was nothing else there.
I saw the chubby guy, Versace, and Guo Baokun playing Pai Gow.
There were also Shi Chanli, Yang Wanli, and a few others.
Su Yu shook her head and smiled.
After taking a sip of tea, I leisurely sat down by the lake to bask in the sun.
He watched these people play cards.
He was rather curious: a genius in mathematics meeting a genius in gambling.
I wonder who will be the true champion?
……
The chubby Versace looked calmly at his cards, feeling confident of victory.
Shi Chanli smiled slightly and suddenly asked.
"Junior brother, you seem very skilled at playing Pai Gow."
"Have you been studying for these past few years?"
Upon hearing this, Versace quickly turned his attention back to the cards.
He looked up, thought for a moment, and replied.
"I've never really studied it properly."
"I just watched people play it a few times."
"Later, I played with the teacher a few more times."
Shi Chanli silently gave a thumbs up.
"Junior brother, you're really amazing."
"I've only seen it a few times, but it's already so familiar."
He had seen the rules many times, but he was never as clear about them as he was.
However, I admire my junior brother's memory and comprehension skills more than anything else.
Shi Chanli was even more curious about this.
Mr. Su plays Pai Gow?!
So he immediately became excited and continued to ask.
"Does Mr. Su also play Pai Gow?"
"How are your card skills, sir?"
"I'm so envious! Junior Brother gets to play Pai Gow with Mr. Su!"
"..."
It wasn't just Shi Chanli who felt curious and excited.
Yang Wanli, Cheng Jialin, and Hou Jichang were equally excited!
You should know that Mr. Su was just a legendary figure to him.
It is the most powerful and most revered being in this world.
Even though they had arrived at the academy, they still hadn't had the chance to meet Mr. Su.
Yang Wanli was extremely grateful to Shi Chanli at this moment.
He got to know this junior student at the academy, which allowed them to hear some things about Mr. Su.
When the group heard that Mr. Su actually played Pai Gow, they all smiled in unison.
I think this Mr. Su, who is considered the best in the world, is truly a very interesting person.
My curiosity and admiration for Mr. Su have grown even stronger.
I can't wait to become an inner court disciple!
I'd also like to join Mr. Su in promoting Pai Gow!
Shi Chanli and the others were all thinking about these things.
Guo Baokun, on the other hand, was thinking.
My father always said that one should be honest.
But my father also said that we should respect our teachers.
If I were to become an inner disciple in the future, I could play Pai Gow with my teacher.
Should I win against Mr. Win, or should I let Mr. Win?
Versace answered these questions one by one.
After thinking for a while, he added.
"However, the gentleman only lets us play for a while occasionally during festivals."
"You can't play it all the time, it's easy to get addicted."
"The master said that gambling is not a good thing."
"Once you get involved, you'll either be destitute or your family will be destroyed."
Su Yu smiled faintly and nodded.
Versace is a good guy; he still remembers talking to me about these things.
That's the truth; nine out of ten people who get involved in gambling will lose.
Basically, there is only one type of person who can live comfortably through gambling.
It's obvious that he's the one who runs the gambling den.
Yang Wanli nodded in response to Versace's words.
But then he suddenly became puzzled and asked.
"Gambling has so many bad effects."
"Then why does the gentleman still offer a course in gambling?"
Guo Baokun blinked, his eyes also showing confusion.
"Yeah, why?"
The chubby boy, Versace, scratched his head.
He was deep in thought, his eyes filled with confusion.
He had never actually asked the gentleman that question.
He suddenly had some questions too.
Shi Chanli smiled and flicked Yang Wanli's head with his finger.
"You still don't know?"
The group looked at Shi Chanli at the same time, seeking clarification.
Shi Chanli coughed lightly twice and said calmly.
"Gambling skills are just a skill."
"Just like the art of killing, swordsmanship, and poison."
"I just want you to learn how to protect yourself, not to actually use it to kill people everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wanli and the other two suddenly realized what was going on.
The gentleman is such a wise man.
Unlike ordinary people, they don't shout and kill at skills that are considered dead.
Little did they know that what is truly terrifying is the human heart.
Versace nodded and chuckled.
"Exactly."
"The master taught us this gambling skill."
"I'll open a gambling den in the future and make a lot of money."
Shi Chanli scratched his head.
Was that what I meant when I just said it?
The group chuckled a few times.
This junior brother is probably obsessed with money.
Su Yu also spat out a mouthful of 1982-aged tea.
Alright, alright, Versace, you little rascal.
After all that talk, all I took in was one sentence: "You're running a gambling den, aren't you?"
I'm going to be speechless with frustration by this stupid apprentice sooner or later.
Guo Baokun suddenly spoke up after hearing Shi Chanli's words.
"Who says only the person who runs the gambling den can win?"
"I've never lost."
Of course, this is because Guo Baokun had never played before, and therefore had never lost.
However, Guo Baokun was very confident, believing that he would not lose in the future.
After all, is there any skill in this world that I can't learn or master?
He would take every course offered by the academy.
