An invincible journey starting from a different race

An intermediate dealer?

Jer and Stank looked at each other carefully. To be fair, the dealer's appearance and figure were not particularly outstanding among the countless nightmares they had seen, but because he was wearing the dealer's clothes, it was a novel experience for them, with a unique flavor.

But then again, remember Ganqiu’s motto?

Now that you are here, how can you not watch it to the end?

So Jer and Stank asked to check all the dealers.

The intermediate dealer readily agreed and slightly moved aside so the three could see the dealers standing behind her. "First, the junior dealers. They are..."

"Pick me, pick me!"

"Choose me, choose me! I'll definitely let you win!"

Before the intermediate dealer finished speaking, three "junior dealers" rushed up, looking crazy as if they wanted to devour the three of them across the table, which scared them.

What the hell is this, a low-level nightmare?!

Memories of what happened to Bruce that night suddenly flooded back to the three of them.

Fortunately, the other party is not a low-level nightmare... at least the low-level ones are not so complete. If it is a completely low-level nightmare, it is impossible for it to have any clothes on its body.

The three junior dealers were at least still wearing their clothes, but it was obvious that they didn't want to wear them for too long.

"Come on, come on, play with me!" One of the junior dealers took out a hundred-sided dice and said to the three people impatiently, "Let's play this simple one! As long as the number you hit is not one, you win!"

"Or let's flip a coin!" Another junior dealer pulled out a coin. "Heads or tails, you win! Only if it lands upright do I win. So what? You can win however you want! After you win, you can do whatever you want to me! Don't you really want to win big?"

Seeing this crazy scene, Stank, Jair and Aesop exchanged glances and then shook their heads at the same time.

"Ah?! Why!"

"You've already won, so why are you still not satisfied?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't drag us away! We can still find a way to help you win more!"

The three junior dealers were dragged away by other dealers with screams.

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't like the junior dealer." The intermediate dealer shrugged, looking like he'd seen through it all. "You guys have played so much outside, you must want a better experience, am I right?"

"It's not that I necessarily want a better experience, but I certainly don't want the worst experience," Stank said.

"Yeah." Jer sighed and said, "Outside, we always avoid low-level nightmares, and we don't want to meet them here. You should introduce us to dealers of other levels."

"Okay!" The mid-level dealer nodded and continued to introduce, "First, there are mid-level dealers like me. In fact, most mid-level dealers are orcs... Here."

The intermediate dealer once again turned his body to the side, allowing them to see the dealers standing behind him, such as the bunny girl and the little fox demon. The dealer who was called made faces at them, looking very cute.

"They are what I said before, dealers with average card skills who enjoy it all, suitable for the same type of customers, playing cards first, and then having fun."

After saying this, the mid-level dealer took two steps back, allowing everyone to see the last few dealers, who looked more knowledgeable and elegant. He said, "Finally, there are the senior dealers. Most of them are humans or elves, a species that is highly calculating. Their card skills are very advanced, and generally speaking, few can defeat them. If you want to taste the taste of failure, you can definitely give it a try."

The senior dealers with a queen-like style immediately made a provocative expression to everyone, licked their lips, and whispered.

"Want to be my little puppy?"

"Do you want to lose everything here?"

"Then come and challenge us~"

As soon as these three senior dealers opened their mouths, they aroused the anger in Stank and Jer.

"Oh, so arrogant?"

"I'm really being looked down upon."

The two began to get ready.

Seeing the two's reactions, the mid-level dealer squinted his eyes and smiled again, "See, I knew the guests would like them. You adventurers love challenges the most, and what you hate the most is others challenging you."

"You're right," Stank nodded. "I can't wait to make these guys lose big."

"Haha, although I really want you to start right now, I haven't finished my introductions yet~" The intermediate dealer suddenly took two steps back and then said in a longing tone, "Above the senior dealers, we have the strongest trump card! It's the absolute king of poker!"

"Three years into his debut, he's an ace dealer who's never lost a game."

Stank was a little curious: "How ace can this be?"

"Haha, you don't understand that." The intermediate dealer raised a finger and said, "Because she can pray to the stars! She knows all the hidden cards!"

Let’s have something bigger, Three O’Clock!

"Pray to the stars?" Stank and Jer were a little confused. "What does that mean?"

"...It's praying to the stars, not praying!" The mid-level dealer was speechless at Stank and Jer's reaction. "Can you guys stop thinking about the guide all the time? You've already come this far, and you're still thinking about the guide? That's really pathetic."

"Damn, you, a dealer, dare to say that we are useless? We are customers." Stank was a little unhappy.

"Well, I'm sorry." The intermediate dealer tilted his head and said, "As an apology, I'll give you two a thousand chips later so you can challenge your favorite dealers."

Jer asked, "As long as we lose all our chips, does that mean we've lost?"

"That's true, but there's more to it than that," said the mid-level dealer. "After all, playing cards, it's easy to double your winnings and then lose everything, leaving you with nothing left. We have a doubling rule here too. The more the winner wins, the more losing moves they can unlock."

The more you win, the more poses you can unlock?

Stank and Jer exchanged glances, then said in unison, "Then let's play!"

The intermediate dealer chuckled, "I knew you two wouldn't refuse. After all, dominating the card table is a man's romance. So, what level of dealer would you like to challenge? Do you want to try our ace dealer directly?"

"Uh, then that's fine... I mean, not for now." Stank cleared his throat and said, "Let's start with the simple ones. I want a high-level dealer."

"Hmm... seems very confident, but also seems not very confident." The intermediate dealer said with a smile, "It seems that you are a very capable, yet cautious person. That's why you dare to directly choose the senior dealer, but you won't rashly challenge our ultimate trump card. People like you really have an advantage at the table."

No, actually I just simply like the elf girl behind you.

Stank thought to himself, but did not say it out loud. Instead, he asked Jer, "What about you?"

Jer thought for a moment, then looked at the intermediate dealer: "I'm quite interested in you. What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Lily." Lily said with a smile, "Do you want to challenge me? Not impossible, but I must remind you that although I am only an intermediate dealer now, that is because I have just been here for a short time and have not yet been promoted. However, my card skills have reached the level of a senior dealer. So you are challenging two senior dealers at the same time, are you sure?"

Jer chuckled twice, then revealed a confident smile. "Don't underestimate me, little girl. Although I'm not a professional card player, I've lived for many years and have seen everything I need to see. There's a saying that goes, the older a card player gets, the more powerful he becomes. I'm going to beat you up at the card table later, and of course, not just at the card table."

"Very confident, that's great." Lily clapped her hands and said, "How about the four of us set up a table together? Um... wait, I think I forgot something."

The people who were chatting animatedly suddenly discovered that Aesop was still standing aside and had not spoken for a long time.

I almost forgot there was another person here, but he looks quite well-behaved. He probably isn't very good at making jokes, right?

Is this guy a minor?

He hasn't spoken for so long, maybe he hasn't been able to adapt to the environment here and thinks he's having too much fun.

Thinking of this, Lily asked Aesop very kindly: "Little brothers, what do you want to play?"

Aesop thought for a moment and replied, "Oppai."

"...Huh?" Lily was slightly taken aback. "I was asking you, what cards do you want to play?"

"Is it okay to skip playing cards?"

“…But this is a casino.”

"But I just want to play with breasts."

Lily: "..."

Well, I haven’t seen such a pure person in a long time.

In that case, we can only push those junior dealers to him.

But just as Lily was about to speak, Stank waved his hand and said, "In that case, Aesop, just wait over there. If you have your eye on a dealer, just tell me! I'll help you win it back, how about that?"

Is this okay?

Lily looked at Stank in surprise.

"Why? Isn't that okay?" Stank shrugged and said, "The loser has to obey the winner anyway, so I can give the loser to my friend. Shouldn't that be a problem?"

"Theoretically, no, but is it really necessary to play like this?" Lily was a little speechless. "Aren't we all here to enjoy playing cards first?"

"That can't be helped. My brother is just so pure." Stank waved his hand, "Let's just get started."

Perhaps it was because this was his home turf, and Stank, as the host, wanted to take care of Aesop. Or perhaps it was because he had finally found something he excelled at that Aesop wasn't good at. If that was the case, why not give Aesop a chance to show off his skills?

Haha, don’t underestimate me. As a noble, I should be proficient in all kinds of gambling skills.

So, Stank lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep puff, and spoke to Lily and the other elf dealer while blowing smoke rings.

"Let's get started, girls." Stank said confidently, "Let me win all your underwear with my own hands."

"That's right." Jer also sneered, "Let you little guys see what a gambling god is."

……

Forty minutes later, Stank and Jer, wearing only their underwear and socks, sat shivering at the gambling table.

Why, how could this happen?

Stank was puzzled.

I haven't even exerted any strength yet, and all I'm left with is my underwear?!

Jer had the same opinion, and his face was full of confusion.

In these forty minutes, they won only a handful of games and lost countless games.

On the other side, Lily and the elf dealer not only had no signs of being touched on their clothes, but the table was also piled with chips that originally belonged to Stank and Jer, as well as their clothes.

"Oh, that's it, that's it~" the clever dealer said with a charming smile, "Where are all those bold words from earlier?"

"Yeah, I thought you guys were really awesome, like gods of gamblers~" Lily licked her lips and spoke with the same contemptuous tone Jer had used earlier, "It's been ages since I've seen such a weak opponent~ Are you really an opponent? You're just trash, trash~"

Faced with the provocation of the two dealers, Stank and Jer had long lost their previous arrogance and confidence, and were left with only the courage to be angry but not to speak out.

It was not until this moment that they deeply realized how big the gap was between a professional card player and an amateur card player.

"Hey, hey, hey, Jer! Think of a solution!" Stank said in a low voice, "We are the ones who should take off their clothes, not let them take off our clothes!"

"If I had my way, why would I be sitting here in just my underwear?" Jer said unhappily, then raised his head and looked at Lily, "You must have cheated!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, sir, you need evidence when you speak." Lily squinted her eyes and smiled. "What makes you say we cheated? And even if we did, a casino is like a battlefield, where any means can be used. But as long as you don't catch us, then there's no evidence."

Jer was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do. Although it was not impossible for him to overturn the table at this time, that would be too ungraceful. He would lose both face and reputation, and he couldn't afford to do that. Jer still had a lot of dignity to protect.

But their current chips can only allow them to lose two more games at most.

And there is no sign of a comeback at the moment, which means that after two rounds, he and Stank will lose everything and become playthings of the two opposing dealers.

This kind of thing...don't do it!

But at this moment, after a long silence, Aesop, who had been watching from the side, suddenly spoke: "I understand."

Jer was slightly stunned and didn't react at first: "What do you mean you understand?"

"I mean, I understand what you're fighting about," Aesop said. "I understand all the rules."

……real or fake?

There was an expression of surprise on everyone's face.

Because the cards they play are quite complicated, with a total of 108 patterns, ordinary people cannot master them without studying for several hours.

And Aesop, just by watching for about forty minutes, already understood the rules?

However, for Stank and Jair, who knew Aesop well, this did not seem to be completely impossible. After all, Aesop could even learn such complicated magic and was the most outstanding magic genius in the world. So understanding the rules of the cards did not seem to be a big deal.

But what good is just knowing the rules? Stank and Jer also know them, yet they're still being beaten up.

At this time, Aesop added: "I know how to win."

Stank was even more surprised: "Is this true?"

Aesop nodded and said, "I've memorized the cards you played and the cards you didn't play, so I know how to play. Just go all-in."

This……

Lily and the elf dealer didn't believe it at all. If it was someone else who said this, then Stark and Jair wouldn't believe it either. But now that it was Aesop who said this... they seemed a little willing to believe it.

But if it's all in...

If they lose this round normally, they still have the next round to play, but if they go all in, then this round is over and there will be no next round.
