Chapter 1272 – Legends about Dong Xuebing
6 am.
The sun is up.
The people in the casino lobby were not tired. They continued to play at the Baccarat and dice tables.
“Why is it small again?”
“Black Jack! Black Jack!”
“Ah! What a shitty hand!”
“Haha… this is a good sign!”
The guests were playing excitedly. But a few guests stopped when they saw Dong Xuebing, Zhang Longjuan, and the twins. Many saw Dong Xuebing exchanging a One-thousand USD casino chip with coins and crumpled notes earlier. After that, they saw him win big at the Roulette table.
“Eh, is he that guy?”
“Ah, he is the one who won at the Roulette table.”
“Yes. He forced the casino to close the tables.”
“Why did he come out so fast? It’s only around an hour.”
“I think he went to the Platinum VIP room. The bets are high there. Did he win or lose?”
Many guests looked at Dong Xuebing and the rest, but they could not tell from their expressions. They looked at them for a while and continued gambling.
Main lobby.
Dong Xuebing stood there and looked around.
Zhang Longjuan had told him the Baccarat and dice rules.
“Can you remember it?” Zhang Longjuan asked.
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Yes. I remembered almost everything.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “That means you still do not understand.”
“It’s fine. I got a rough idea.” Dong Xuebing was too lazy to use his brain.
Zhang Longjuan smiled. “You are too daring, brat. You dare to play without understanding the rules. Haha… go ahead. You will know after a few hands.”
Suddenly, there was a commotion.
“What happened?”
“What is the meaning of this?”
“You cannot do this!”
“We are about to place our bets.”
Dong Xuebing looked over. Over a dozen casino staff rushed out of their staff room and shut down a Baccarat table. The staff said something to the dealer, and she covered the machine with a cloth. She also cut off the electricity. Many guests were unhappy. Two roulette tables were sealed, and they are sealing the baccarat tables now.
One table…
Three tables…
Five tables…
All the baccarat tables were covered with cloth by the dealers.
The guests protested loudly, and some even started cursing.
This was not the end. After closing the baccarat tables, the dealers and staff went to the dice and blackjack tables to close them.
Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes.
Zhang Longjuan looked at them coldly.
All the tables were closed in the main lobby within a few minutes.
Song Yuhu, Senior Zhou, and his men entered the lobby.
All the dealers and casino staff went over to them and waited for further instructions.
The guests were furious.
“What is the meaning of this?”
“We were playing happily. Why did you stop it?”
“I want an explanation. How can you all do this?”
A few seconds later, a female person in charge stepped forward. She took a microphone from a dealer and said. “I am sorry, everyone. Many of our machines have broken down and need to be maintained. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.”
“What can an apology do?”
“We are here to gamble. What are we going to do when you stop all the games?”
The female person in charge replied. “The ship will be docking in around an hour. You all can rest in your rooms. We apologize again.”
“Apology is useless!”
“You all cannot be trusted.”
“What casino is this? How can all the machines break down?”
“That’s right. F**k! I am not coming back!”
The person in charge tried her best to soothe the guests. But the casino is not giving in despite everyone’s protests.
The machines must undergo maintenance. There’s no room for negotiations.
All the guests were furious at the casino’s action.
The female person in charge could not control the situation. All the guests were prominent figures, and she could not do anything. She looked at Senior Zhou beside her.
Senior Zhou stepped forward and said. “Sorry, everyone. That’s an error with our system, and the main lobby will be closed. The ship will be leaving the international waters earlier. Please be ready to disembark. I hope you can understand this is our casino’s fault.” He explained for a while. At the end, he said. “There’s still some time until we leave international waters. We will add a few more jackpot machines for everyone.”
The two rows of jackpot machines were the only place with electricity in the lobby.
Increasing the number of machines might ease the tension.
But not all guests like to play jackpot machines. They disagreed and continued to complain.
Senior Zhou had no choice. Dong Xuebing was too skillful. He was so skilled that Senior Zhou could not see through his tricks. He tried negotiating with Dong Xuebing but failed. He could only stop the casino operation and risk getting a bad reputation. If not, Dong Xuebing might bankrupt the casino. No one can stop him.
It’s true casinos value their reputation.
But who cares about reputation if the casino could not even win?
The guests argued for a while, but the casino was firmed. They were frustrated and did not carry on.
“I am not coming back to this shithole casino!”
“That’s right. This is the last time I come!”
“Eh, why did they close the main lobby?”
“Who knows? Maybe they have gone mad.”
“Mad? Shutting down the main lobby is mad. Everyone knows casino is a sure-win business. Every minute counts. Why did they choose not to make money?”
“Yes. You are right.”
“Then why did they do this?”
Most guests were puzzled by the casino’s decision. What were they thinking?
But the guests who were in the Platinum VIP room knew what happened.
“Let me share with you.” A guest who watched Dong Xuebing play in the VIP room said. “Have you heard about what happened in the Platinum VIP room?”
“Ah?”
“What happened?”
That guest said. “Do you remember that young man who won at the Roulette tables?”
“Yes. He went to the Platinum VIP room.”
“That’s him. Sigh…” The guest organized his words and said. “You will not believe it. That young man played Mahjong with Mr. Song and two others after he went in. He lost at first, but when it was his turn to be the Banker, he…”
“He won?”
“It’s fine if he won.”
“That’s right. What’s the big deal?”
The guest replied. “It is not about him winning. He consecutively got four ‘Heavenly Wins’ after becoming the Banker.”
“What?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Four ‘Heavenly Wins?’ Bullshit!”
The guest shrugged his shoulders. “I said you will not believe me.”
Another guest from the Platinum VIP room added. “Old Han was telling the truth. We saw it. Four consecutive ‘Heavenly Wins.’ The first was a ‘Heavenly Win.’ Second was a ‘Big Three Dragons Heavenly Win.’ His third hand was a ‘Big Four Blessings Heavenly Win,’ and the fourth was a ‘Pure Suit Hand, Seven Doubles, Heavenly Win!’”
All the guests were dumbfounded.
“That’s not the end. Do you know the God of Cards, Zhou Hu? He is the old man earlier. No one dares to play against that young man, and he played a few rounds. In the end…… no words can describe that game. They played 3-Cards brag, and guess what their cards were. Three-of-a-kind won against Queen, King, Ace, royal flush… Three-of-a-kind won against Three-of-a-kind… A Five won against a Three-of-a-kind. Three-of-a-kind Ace…” The guest glanced at Senior Zhou. “The God of Cards admitted defeat in the end.”
“He is Zhou Hu?”
“Ah, I thought he looked familiar.”
“Yes. That old man is the God of Cards.”
“How is this possible? How can the God of Cards lose?”
Everyone took a deep breath. Many could not accept what happened.
That guest looked at them. “Do you know why the casino closed its main lobby now? They fear that young man will continue winning and bankrupt the casino.”
Someone asked. “Is he that good?”
That guest said. “You will understand if you saw what happened. After winning, that young man challenged everyone in the room. No one dares to take up the challenge. Who dares to play against him?”
“F**k!”
“Are you saying he did not win at the Roulette table because of his luck?”
“There are ways to guess the winning number at Roulette? That’s why the casino closed to stop him from playing?”
That guest shook his head. “I don’t know if it was luck. I guess only he knows the answer.”
“Wow… I did not know such a person existed.”
“If this is true, it will be…”
Words spread quickly. Many guests in the casino were shocked and understood why the casino closed earlier.
Almost a hundred pairs of eyes turned and looked at Dong Xuebing.
Many who heard of Dong Xuebing’s skills got excited.
Who is this guy?
He is amazing.
One person…
One chip…
When everyone thought this young man was a joke, he won 120 million USD from a one thousand USD chip. He also forced Hong Kong’s biggest casino ship to stop operations.
This guy is ruthless.
He is a legend!
