Chapter 458 - 458 So Fast?
458 So Fast?
Hence, Liu Yun immediately spoke.
“I’ll place a bet of three gla.s.ses of baijiu first. Let me say this first. Three gla.s.ses is the maximum for the first round. Otherwise, we won’t be able to play later. We’ll vomit after two rounds.”
An ordinary gla.s.s of baijiu was about the size of a thumb. It was just enough to take a sip, so it was not very big.
Everyone agreed with this rule and nodded. There was basically no suspense in the first round. They basically wanted to follow the previous player and tested the waters. They did not raise the stakes.
Therefore, Liu Yanran did not hesitate and pushed another card to everyone.
Liu Yun raised a corner of the poker card and glanced at it. He realized that it was worth two points. It was quite awkward to play this card. He was afraid that his total would be busted if his third card was worth 10 points.
However, since it was exciting, he didn’t mind and spoke.
“Three gla.s.ses. Three more gla.s.ses. That’s a total of six gla.s.ses.”
Everyone was a little hesitant. They looked at their cards and wondered if they should continue bidding.
However, they quickly made up their minds and each called for a card.
Liu Yanran did not hesitate and pushed a card to each of them.
Everyone raised a corner of the cards and took a look. Three of them had rosy faces and stopped bidding. They even raised their bets to five cups.
Liu Yun knew at a glance that the three of them definitely had 18 or 19 points. They were close to 21 points, which was why they were so confident.
As for the others, their expressions were very dark. Without even looking, they knew that their cards had busted. The number of points was past 21, so they basically had to drink.
Liu Yun smiled and raised his card to take a look. He realized that the third card was another King!
Ten plus two plus ten…
[F*ck, I’m busted.]
Liu Yun thought to himself and the smile on his face froze. He turned around with a dark expression and looked at Ye Xuan, who couldn’t smile, before laughing out loud.
In the blackjack game, anyone who exceeded 21 points would be considered to have busted. Liu Yun knew this very well. Although he knew that he had busted, he tried his best to calm his mind and not reveal it on his face.
Then, he took a bite of the roasted meat and thought for a moment. Then, he pretended to be strong. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he shouted.
“Drinking five gla.s.ses is like rinsing one’s mouth. Let’s raise it to ten gla.s.ses. Shall we add a rule? Those who can’t take it can surrender their cards and drink the number of gla.s.ses they bet in the first round.”
“Brother Yun is mighty. I’ll punish myself by drinking three cups.”
“This rule is good. If you surrender, you lose half.”
“Brother Yun, aren’t you afraid of hurting your tongue by shouting so loudly? If it’s ten gla.s.ses, then so be it. I want to see how strong you are.”
“Hmph, Brother Yun is drunk. I understand. I naturally have to fulfill Brother Yun’s wish. Hehehe.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. I’ll lay my cards on the table. Sigh, I have 20 points. Who’s not convinced? Drink up, Brother Yun.”
The others also opened their cards. All of them had 18 or 19 points.
When Liu Yun saw this, his legs trembled with disdain. He picked up a skewer of meat and spoke.
“It’s not too late to surrender now. It’s still three cups. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
As he spoke, he took a bite of the meat skewer indifferently. In fact, she was panicking.
If these people were really stubborn, he would definitely have to drink. Now, he was purely playing a psychological battle. Whether he could scare these people would depend on his luck.
Fortunately, when they heard this, they became a little hesitant. After all, they didn’t have 21 points, but were only close to 21 points. If Liu Yun had 21 points, they would lose.
If they surrendered now, they only needed to drink three gla.s.ses. If they lost, they would drink more than ten gla.s.ses.
For a moment, the few of them weighed the pros and cons. From time to time, they looked at their cards and at Liu Yun.
After a while, the few of them finally lost to the struggle. They threw away their cards with bitter expressions and raised their gla.s.ses.
“What kind of luck is this? He started off with 21 points.”
“That’s right. Are you still going to let us play?”
“I’m so angry. I only have 20 points. I thought I had you guys under control. I didn’t expect Brother Yun to have 21 points.”
“Again, again. I don’t believe that his luck will always be so good.”
Liu Yun smiled when he heard everyone’s words. He turned around and looked at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan almost laughed when he tried his best to hold back his laughter. He gave Liu Yun a look and let him experience it himself.
Liu Yun did not open his cards. He threw them into the pile of cards to hide his achievements and reputation. Then, they started the next round.
After playing more than ten rounds, everyone was almost done. Some of them were unlucky and honest. They drank until they were dizzy and shouted that they could not take it anymore.
During this period, Liu Yun relied on this move to win a few rounds, but no one noticed anything unusual.
However, as the saying went, one’s shoes would get wet if they often walked by the river. Liu Yun did not expect to actually encounter someone who had 21 points.
The psychological defeat made everyone shout that they had been tricked. In that round, they had called for more than 30 cups, making Liu Yun dizzy from drinking. He was just short of vomiting.
After playing and resting for a while, everyone took a break. They suggested swimming in the water and organizing a compet.i.tion.
Ye Xuan naturally had to partic.i.p.ate in this game. Even though he couldn’t drink, he could swim.
“Alright, let’s have five people in the first round. We have just enough people for two rounds. Then, we’ll have the finals.”
Liu Yun stood on the reef and explained the rules. Then, he pointed at the reef on the other side and continued.
“It should be 30 meters from here to there and back. You can swim freestyle or b.u.t.terfly, or even dive. You can do whatever you want. Are you ready?”
Everyone nodded eagerly, their faces filled with excitement. They were all prepared.
Seeing this, Liu Yun nodded and divided the teams. The boys would be in the first round, and the girls would be in the second round. This was just right.
Everything was ready. Liu Yun, the three young masters, and Ye Xuan stood at the starting line. With Liu Yanran’s order, the five of them rushed out like wild horses.
However, halfway through, they realized that something was wrong.
This was because Ye Xuan had returned and instantly pa.s.sed by them to reach the finish line.
He was just like the motor on a cruise ship, causing water to splash everywhere. The compet.i.tion ended with a splash.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They stood rooted to the ground and did not react for a moment. After a long while, they exclaimed.
“Oh my G.o.d, what kind of speed is that, Brother Ye?”
“Are you cheating? F*ck, Brother Ye, did you bring your own motor?”
“He’s simply a motor. I didn’t even clearly see what happened before the compet.i.tion ended!”
“This— This— This— This… What kind of speed is this? This is too terrifying. Oh my G.o.d.”
“Report! Report! There’s a cheat!”
“I can’t do it. I can’t do it. My goggles are moving!”
“I’ve never heard of this before. With this speed, f*ck, Brother Ye, if you partic.i.p.ate in the Olympics, won’t you get the gold medal?”
“He will directly be blacklisted by the Olympics and the United Nations. Who dares to let Brother Ye partic.i.p.ate?”
