I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

The cultural exhibition hall is on the other side of the hotel.

While it's described as a casino history and culture exhibition, it's more like a meticulously packaged museum.

Old photos of the development of the gambling industry in Macau are hanging on the wall.

The glass case displays old-fashioned chips, old playing cards, dice cups, roulette models, and some wooden card boxes used in early casinos.

The lights are not glaring.

The music was also very soft.

The place doesn't feel like a casino; it's more like an exhibition hall that explains "why people believe in luck."

As soon as Zhao Lei entered the room, he looked around.

"This place seems quite legitimate."

Bai Sisi glanced at him: "Are you a little disappointed?"

Zhao Lei immediately waved his hand.

"How is that possible?"

"I'm a respectable person."

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"A decent person doesn't usually need to say they're decent."

Zhao Lei: "..."

He Jingyan smiled slightly.

After the afternoon meeting, he had become much more accustomed to Shen Ling'er's way of speaking.

I've even gotten used to it.

He led everyone inside, introducing the place in a gentle tone.

"This is part of the He family's cultural exhibition area that is open to the public."

"We usually receive tourists and student groups."

"It mainly covers probability, rules, anti-gambling education, and some entertainment performances."

Chen Doudou perked up immediately upon hearing the word "performance".

"Is there magic involved?"

He Jingyan smiled and said, "They are somewhat similar."

Zhao Lei immediately chimed in, "Dou Dou, don't get excited. Magic might not be suitable for you."

Chen Doudou protested, "Why?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "You will believe it."

Chen Doudou: "..."

Lin Jia suppressed a laugh: "Ling'er is right, everything looks real to you."

Chen Doudou muttered to herself, "That just means I'm naive."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"That's how you can comfort yourself."

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he had to lean against the wall.

The comments section also became lively.

"Hahaha, DouDou's main focus is on self-reconciliation."

"Ling'er's mouth is so sharp that even the sea breeze of Australia can't soften it."

"The cultural exhibition is finally here. I thought I would be nervous, but it felt like a spring outing."

"He Jingyan can now naturally catch Ling'er's attacks; he's growing very fast."

"Zhao Lei, stop pretending to be a decent person. Your eyes are practically glued to the gambling equipment cabinet."

There is a performance table in the center of the exhibition hall.

A young croupier in uniform stood at the table.

His hands were very clean.

With long, slender fingers and restrained movements, he exudes a trained sense of discipline just by standing there.

He Jingyan introduced, "This is Master Chen, who is responsible for demonstrating the shuffling and dealing techniques."

Master Chen nodded slightly.

Hello everyone.

After he finished speaking, he picked up a new deck of cards and unfolded it in front of everyone.

"Today is just a demonstration."

"No betting is involved."

"The main point is to let children know that in a real card game, you shouldn't believe in so-called luck or magical skills."

Zhao Lei immediately clapped.

"This is a good topic: anti-gambling."

Shen Ling'er, however, stared at the deck of cards.

Her little face was very calm.

Yang Mi noticed her expression and gently squeezed her small hand.

"Ling'er, just look."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

Master Chen began shuffling the cards.

Bridge washing.

Extraction and washing.

Cut the cards.

Demonstration of a simulated cut.

His movements were beautiful.

The playing cards flowed from my fingertips, separating and then coming back together like water.

Chen Doudou's eyes lit up.

"Wow!"

Zhao Mengmeng whispered, "That's amazing."

Zhou Xiaoyu lay down next to Su Wan, watching intently.

Zhao Lei nodded in agreement.

"He's handsome."

Bai Sisi laughed: "You want to learn again?"

Zhao Lei said seriously, "I'm just appreciating the craftsmanship."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You can't learn it."

Zhao Lei: "..."

He Jingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud this time.

Zhao Lei looked hurt: "Teacher Ling'er, I haven't even started yet."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "So the damage is relatively small."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The screen was instantly flooded with comments.

"Hahaha, cutting losses early."

"Zhao Lei graduated before even becoming an apprentice."

"Ling'er: For the sake of your self-esteem, I'll rule that you can't learn it."

"She's not really being sarcastic; she's making accurate assessments."

"Zhao Lei couldn't escape career setbacks even in Australia."

After demonstrating the basic shuffling, Master Chen then performed a fancy card control technique.

He first let Zhao Lei draw a card at random.

Zhao Lei glanced at it after he finished smoking.

Nine of Hearts.

Master Chen told him to put the cards back in the pile.

I then washed it several times in a row.

Then lay the cards out.

The Nine of Hearts appears right at the very top.

Chen Doudou opened her mouth wide.

"How did it get back?"

Zhao Lei was also shocked.

"Is this the technique?"

Master Chen smiled.

"Just for demonstration."

"In a real card game, if someone uses similar methods to gain an advantage, that's cheating, or what people often call 'cheating'."

He Jingyan looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Little Ling'er, did you understand?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"He let the cards stay where they belonged."

Master Chen was taken aback.

This is a simple statement.

But when it comes to the core issue...

Controlling the cards means keeping the target cards in the desired position throughout the seemingly chaotic shuffling process.

Zhao Lei immediately looked at Master Chen.

"Is it right?"

Master Chen smiled and nodded: "That's pretty much the idea."

Zhao Lei gasped.

"Ling'er, did you really understand?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"It's not difficult."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed and said, "Those two words hurt Zhao Lei a lot."

A hint of interest also appeared in He Jingyan's eyes.

"Want to give it a try?"

Yang Mi immediately looked over.

He Jingyan immediately added, "It's just a normal demonstration, it doesn't involve winning or losing."

Yang Mi lowered his head and asked, "Ling'er, would you like to try?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"You can do it little by little."

Zhao Lei instantly perked up.

"After understanding a little about alarms, the next step is to test them out!"

Shen Ling'er walked to the table.

She was short; when she stood next to the table, she wasn't even as tall as the tabletop.

Mr. Chen thoughtfully placed a small footstool under her feet.

Shen Ling'er stepped on it and reached out her small hand to pick up the deck of cards.

Her hands are very small.

The playing cards looked a bit too big in her hand.

But she held the cards very steadily.

It's not the kind of beautiful and smooth performance that adult dealers have.

There was no exaggerated showing off of skills.

She simply separated the cards.

Close up.

Then separate again.

The movements even looked somewhat slow.

Zhao Lei looked at it for a long time and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"fine."

Bai Sisi asked, "What do you mean, 'alright'?"

Zhao Lei lowered his voice: "There was no scene of playing cards flying everywhere."

The director also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that once Shen Ling'er got her hands on something, she would turn the cultural exhibition into a demonstration of divine skills.

Master Chen also looked at Shen Ling'er.

His eyes looked very professional.

After watching for a few seconds, I made a judgment.

The child's hands are very steady.

The finger strength is also quite good.

However, compared to adult trainees, their speed and proficiency are insufficient.

It's more like someone who has practiced some hand control before.

He Jingyan also noticed it.

He was not disappointed.

On the contrary, I felt it was normal.

Even if Shen Ling'er is very smart, she is only five years old.

the other side.

Shen Ling'er shuffled the cards a few times, then drew one from them.

Three of a kind.

She glanced at it, then put the cards back.

Then wash slowly.

Finally, turn to the first page.

Three of a kind.

Chen Doudou immediately clapped.

"Ling'er is amazing!"

Zhao Lei also applauded.

"sure!"

Master Chen smiled and said, "Little Ling'er has a very steady hand."

He Jingyan nodded.

"It's really good."

This time, his expression didn't change as it had when he looked at the fake chips that afternoon.

Because this technique isn't particularly amazing.

To be precise, that's very impressive for a five-year-old.

But compared to the professional dealers, con artists, and masters of technique that the Ho family had seen, he could only be considered a promising beginner.

Zhao Lei noticed He Jingyan's calmness and whispered, "Mr. He, aren't you shocked?"

He Jingyan smiled.

"Ling'er is very amazing."

Zhao Lei narrowed his eyes: "Why does that sound like an adult praising a child's drawing?"

He Jingyan couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not just a perfunctory response."

"But I've seen this kind of tactic far too often."

Zhao Lei suddenly realized.

"Understood."

"She looked at the chips in the afternoon; it was a rare angle."

"Reshuffling the deck now is your area of ​​expertise."

He Jingyan nodded.

"almost."

Shen Ling'er heard this but was not unhappy.

She put down the cards, her face calm.

"I wasn't here to shuffle the cards in the first place."

Master Chen was taken aback.

"What is little Ling'er here to see?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Let's see how hands can lie."

This made Master Chen pause for a moment.

He Jingyan's eyes also shifted slightly.

However, Shen Ling'er did not continue.

She got off the small stool and returned to Yang Mi's side.

Yang Mi straightened her clothes.

"Are you tired?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"Not tired."

Zhao Lei immediately came over.

"Ling'er, did you deliberately not show too much skin just now?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"It will be cold if you show too much skin."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi burst out laughing.

"Is she referring to the 'showing off' part, like showing off one's arms?"

He Chuan laughed, "Zhao Lei, your problem has been explained by physics again."

......

The following activities were very relaxed.

Roulette probability demonstration.

Explanation of the fairness of dice.

Visit the display case of old-fashioned gambling equipment.

He Jingyan led everyone to walk slowly, without rushing.

Chen Doudou is particularly interested in dice.

He picked up a large exhibit die and asked earnestly, "Can this roll a six?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him and said, "Yes."

Chen Doudou exclaimed excitedly, "So my luck has improved?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Of the six sides, there will always be a six."

Chen Doudou: "..."

Zhao Lei laughed and said, "Dou Dou, your fantasy has already ended as soon as the probability class started."

There is also an interactive screen in the exhibition area.

The audience is asked to guess whether the next coin toss will land heads or tails after ten consecutive flips.

Zhao Lei stood there studying it for a long time.

"I think we've already had five heads, so the next one should be tails, right?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Coins don't hold grudges."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed so hard she helped Zhao Mengmeng up.

"Coins don't hold grudges, that's such a cute explanation."

He Jingyan smiled softly as well.

"This sentence is perfect for describing an exhibition hall."

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "There's a fee."

He Jingyan: "..."

Zhao Lei immediately clapped.

"Teacher Ling'er's awareness of intellectual property rights is perfect!"

The comments section erupted in laughter again.

"Coins don't hold grudges, hahaha."

"This is much easier to understand than probability formulas."

"Exhibition text: Coins don't hold grudges, but gamblers do."

"You know what, the one above is actually quite suitable for anti-gambling propaganda."

"Every single one of Ling'er's quotes can be sold for money, and she herself knows that she should charge for them."

"How exactly did Shen Fei explain probability to her? He didn't teach formulas, and he taught her not to get carried away."
