Upon seeing this prompt, not only the athletes participating in the national team but also the audience on Earth were stunned.
"Holy crap, this special event looks like it could really change your fate!"
"Wow, our Gaul players are Texas Hold'em pros! They might win countless HAF coins and chips at the table, then exchange them for endless six-of-a-kind and red bullets!"
"Our foldable screen player seems to have been a seasoned gambler before. Maybe he can win all the other players' resurrection chances and wipe them all out!"
"Who would be so foolish as to risk their life for a single hand of cards? Is this some kind of dark duel?"
"Well, it's really hard to say. Once you're on the gambling table, anything is possible!"
Countless viewers on Earth were incredibly excited when they saw this Special Operations Unit's card room.
They seemed to see an incredibly bright future!
They believed that their country's athletes might be able to forge a completely different path in this Secret Service chess and card room.
After all, you have to choose between aggressive attacks and entertainment, right?
After the Secret Service's card room opened.
Countless players rushed in, venting their frustration at their unsuccessful attacks.
But soon they realized something was wrong.
In addition to the daily minimum allowance of 15 Haff coins, this special operations unit also provides three times a day.
They take a cut every time they win or lose.
Regardless of whether one side wins or loses, the total amount of Havercoins is decreasing.
Upon realizing this, countless contestants instantly understood.
So this is to collect the players' Huff Coins?
Even after understanding this, countless players still flocked to the card room one after another.
"No gambler loses every day, and no child cries every day."
Countless players believed that they were living gambling gods, capable of winning big money through card rooms and accumulating massive amounts of HAF coins.
"Even if it's not fifty million, it should at least earn one hundred million, right?"
Chapter 201 Sorry, my stake is my life!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The two corporals were immediately intrigued when they saw the announcement for the Secret Service's card room.
"Sir, may we go to the card room to play some games? I'm really good at Dou Dizhu!"
"Sir, as a student from Tsinghua or Peking University, although I've never played cards before, card counting shouldn't be too difficult for me. I think I can do it!"
Chen Yuan looked at the two corporals and smiled slightly.
"It's okay to play, but don't get carried away and lose money. Once you've lost all your minimum daily allowance, quit, understand?"
The two corporals nodded and immediately plunged into the card room.
First up is Corporal Yan!
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly signed up for the Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) tournament.
Because Dou Dizhu is a game with a lot of luck involved, many foreign players also come to play it.
Before long, Xiao Yan had gathered a whole table of people.
After the cards were dealt, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up instantly.
After a series of moves.
Xiao Xiao Yan had a great hand, but in the end, he was left with only a joker and three 3s, and it was Xiao Xiao Yan who played the card.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan burst into laughter.
Then I just played the three 3s.
He had a leprosy lesion on his hand.
In the end, he was blown up by two farmers and lost the game.
Jiang Ruolin, who was standing next to her, couldn't hold back any longer when she saw this.
"Losing to foreign players in Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) is incredibly embarrassing!"
When it was Jiang Ruolin's turn to play, her cards were even better, but she still couldn't become the landlord.
After the landlord played three cards, Jiang Ruolin originally wanted to immediately use her bomb, but she hesitated when she saw the landlord's seventeen cards.
"I refuse to believe you can beat me with seventeen cards!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the landlord played all seventeen cards in an instant!
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ruolin was instantly dumbfounded.
Beside her, the landlord's smug voice rang out.
"Dada dada dada dada—"
Upon seeing this, countless people from other countries burst into laughter.
"It takes skill for these two Chinese players to lose so badly!"
"Now we've discovered the fatal weakness of the Chinese players!"
"I knew it! God opens a door for Chinese athletes, but he always closes a window!"
"Now our players can finally widen the gap with China in some aspect!"
It was accompanied by countless jeers from people abroad.
The two corporals immediately came to Chen Yuan, looking dejected.
"Sir, I've lost all my welfare money. I'm so frustrated, I guess I really have no talent for playing cards!"
"Sigh, sir, I'm just having a run of bad luck too..."
After the two corporals finished speaking, they both looked at Chen Yuan.
"Sir, why don't you try playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan immediately shook his head.
"I'd better not try. I've never had good luck with cards since I was a kid. I often see other people with two Kings, four 2s, and three Aces, while my highest card is only a King, and I don't have any bombs."
The two corporals sighed deeply, their faces full of resentment.
"So, are we just supposed to watch other players make money in the card room?"
"Yes, sir, I think those chips can be exchanged for red bullets and Liu Tao! Although the exchange is limited, we can never have too many of these things."
Chen Yuan frowned, then led two corporals to the card room to sign up for Texas Hold'em!
Texas Hold'em is a game where players compare the size of their hands.
If you lack confidence in your hand, you can simply fold your hand and the bet you placed.
The table where Chen Yuan arrived was clearly full of Texas Hold'em veterans.
The old gambler of the US, the foldable screen, and the professional Texas Hold'em player of Gaul are both included in this category.
Upon seeing Chen Yuan arrive, smiles instantly appeared on their faces, ready to win back their Huff Coins from him.
When the cards were dealt in the first round, Jiang Ruolin and Xiao Xiaoyan saw their hole cards and instantly looked like they were doomed.
Even if they weren't very good at Texas Hold'em, they could tell instantly that Chen Yuan's hand had no hope.
It's the kind of hand that should be folded in the first round.
However, Chen Yuan continued to follow up, increasing his bets.
When all the community cards were about to be dealt, only four players remained at the table.
The stakes at this point are as high as 500,000 Haff coins.
It's more expensive than the four-square red one.
Whoever wins this final hand could probably win millions of HAF coins in an instant.
At the most crucial moment, each player observed the other's reaction, trying to find out what the other's trump card was.
Everyone was calculating and tried their best to conceal their true reactions.
Only on the Chinese side could everyone see the embarrassment on Xiao Yan and Jiang Ruolin's faces.
"China's hand seems terrible? It looks like they're destined to lose money?"
"But... if Chen Yuan and his team are born like this in the game, they might also act like beasts outside the game, using underhanded tricks to try and trick us into placing heavy bets."
"No, no, the expressions on those two corporals' faces don't seem fake! Even the most professional actors couldn't portray such subtle expressions!"
The other experienced players were all unsure about Chen Yuan's hand.
Just as the last public card was about to be issued.
The foldable screen contender from the US gritted his teeth and said directly, "I'm raising the bet to a full million. Who calls?"
One million HAF coins?
To play a game of cards that lasts only a few minutes, someone actually placed a huge bet of one million HAF coins?
Upon hearing this, one of the players at the poker table immediately folded.
After all, his trump card offered little hope, so he simply gave up.
On the other side, the professional Texas Hold'em player from Gaul smiled slightly and said directly:
"I'm betting two million! If you have a bad hand, don't call, you'll just be giving me free money!"
Upon hearing this, the other players at the table gasped in shock.
A massive bet of two million HAF coins!
How many rounds of betting do you have to go through to place a bet here and see the last card?!
Do all the players here go this far?
