56: Chapter 56 The Great Battle of Golden Flowers (1) 56: Chapter 56 The Great Battle of Golden Flowers (1) Similarly, those approaching Ye Feng’s table included some people who were none the wiser; they had only come over because it was lively here.

“What happened?

Why is everyone rushing over here?

Are they gambling big?”

“Not at all big, but their backgrounds are extremely impressive, and they’re very skilled at gambling; it’s quite worth watching.”

“Exactly!

The one who’s good at gambling, his dad is Military Region 2’s big shot, and the one who’s not so good, his dad is Military Region 1’s big shot.”

“Moreover, the son of Military Region 1, Li Minjie, has already lost many times.

It’s unknown whether he can make a comeback this time and win money from Wang Jia.”

“A comeback?

Better save that kind of talk.

Don’t you all know about Wang Jia’s gambling skills?

He’s recognized as our little God of Gamblers.”

A completely ignorant question sparked a discussion among everyone.

Clearly, Li Minjie wasn’t favored by the people.

Hearing the chatter of the crowd, Ye Feng furrowed his brows.

No wonder Li Minjie was reluctant to provoke Wang Jia; it turned out he had been bullied plenty by Wang Jia’s gambling skills.

Well, today, they would ‘fight gambling with gambling’, making Wang Jia lose his courage whenever he smelled Ye Feng’s presence.

The three people took their seats, each at one position.

Since Ye Feng wanted to gamble, Li Minjie naturally had to accompany him to the end.

“What do you want to bet on today?” Wang Jia seemed to still be a jack-of-all-trades, not placing Li Minjie and Ye Feng in his eyes at all, but letting Ye Feng and Li Minjie set the gambling game.

“Minjie, you decide!

I don’t mind,” said Ye Feng, who had to address Minjie respectfully since Minjie was somewhat older.

“Golden Flower,” Li Minjie thought for a moment, and after considering that Wang Jia was skilled at almost anything, he chose Golden Flower, which he was quite good at.

“OK, let’s play Golden Flower.

The starting bet is 1,000, with a maximum raise limit of 50,000; how does that sound?” Wang Jia didn’t care what the game was; he was more concerned about the size of the bets.

“Uh!

What do you mean?

What is the maximum raise limit?” The rules of Golden Flower vary among different groups, and the rules this time were obviously nothing like the ones Ye Feng had played with last time.

“After the next round’s starting bet, when it’s your turn to speak, you can choose to call or raise, with 50,000 being the highest limit.

Those who don’t look at their cards can raise a maximum of 50,000, while those who do need to put down 100,000.”

There was also a croupier at the gambling table who was clearly very familiar with these rules and patiently explained them to Ye Feng.

“Oh!

Got it, let’s exchange for chips first!” To facilitate calculation, one could exchange for chips at each croupier’s station.

This casino didn’t charge a rake, but when exchanging chips back into cash, they would take a 5% fee for the service.

Ye Feng exchanged for 1 million in chips, Wang Jia did the same, and Li Minjie, more unfortunate, only exchanged 500,000.

“Give Minjie an extra 500,000, charge it to my card.” Of course, Ye Feng wouldn’t let such a thing happen, so he directly used his own card to add 500,000 in chips for Li Minjie, bringing Minjie’s total chips to 1 million as well.

“You little rascal,” Li Minjie chuckled bitterly and accepted the chips.

In his view, having more chips would just mean losing more, so he didn’t know whether to thank Ye Feng or curse him for being a bastard.

“Deal the cards!” With chips exchanged, Wang Jia confidently motioned the croupier to hurry up and deal.

As far as Wang Jia was concerned, the chips on the table were already in his pocket, so he was eager to begin.

After each person placed 1,000 in chips, they each received three face-down cards.

Upon receiving his cards, Ye Feng abruptly activated his Penetrating Vision, clearly seeing the cards of all three players.

Among the three of them, Ye Feng had the smallest hand with a Spade A being his highest card.

The one with the biggest hand was Li Minjie, who had a pair of Aces and an old king.

“Raise $5,000!” Wang Jia was the first to raise.

After thinking for a moment, he added $5,000 in chips without looking at his cards, ready to “test the waters” with the raise.

“I’ll call!” Li Minjie hesitated for a moment, also choosing to follow without looking at his cards.

In Li Minjie’s view, a meager sum of $5,000 wasn’t worth looking at the cards for.

“Heh!” Ye Feng laughed softly.

Since they both chose to raise without looking at their cards, the initiative was passed to Ye Feng.

Now if Ye Feng raised, they wouldn’t be able to look at their cards.

“Raise!

$50,000.” Since Li Minjie had the biggest hand this round, Ye Feng certainly wouldn’t be polite.

He directly raised by $50,000.

As long as Li Minjie’s gambling skills weren’t too bad, he was sure to win this round.

Wang Jia clenched his teeth in frustration.

At this point, it was too late to look at the cards; he could only choose to follow or not.

“I’ll call!” Wang Jia gritted his teeth and reluctantly decided to follow.

Ye Feng also hadn’t looked at his cards, so he didn’t believe Ye Feng had a good hand.

“I’ll call too!” Li Minjie, on the other hand, appeared quite composed.

After all, it was Ye Feng who had raised, and he had no reason not to follow.

After calling the bet, Li Minjie looked at his cards, putting on a grave expression.

It was evident that Li Minjie’s gambling skills were not bad; it’s just that they fell short compared to Wang Jia’s.

He wasn’t as lucky, which is why he was always under Wang Jia’s pressure.

“Raise $10,000.” Since he pretended his hand wasn’t very good, Li Minjie naturally couldn’t raise a hefty bet and left the opportunity to Wang Jia and Ye Feng.

At this time, Ye Feng had no choice but to look at his cards.

By the book, he could only serve as the sacrificial lamb for raising the bet this round, trying his best to draw Wang Jia’s attention to let Li Minjie win some more.

“Nice hand, I raise $100,000.” Although his own cards were average, Ye Feng pretended to be thrilled with an excellent hand and arrogantly threw in a $100,000-chip.

After tossing the chips, Ye Feng gave Wang Jia a provocative look, as if to say, “Do you dare to follow, punk?”

Wang Jia furrowed his brow and chose to look at his cards.

Indeed, Wang Jia’s hand was not bad, a pair of Queens, which was considered quite strong in a three-player Golden Flower game.

“Thinking of sneaking a win?

Dream on!

When I started playing this, you had no idea what you were doing.” Despite having a good hand, Wang Jia still maintained a stern face, looking down on Ye Feng.

“Let’s see your cards!” Wang Jia believed that if he wanted to win, the biggest obstacle was likely Ye Feng, so he chose to look at Ye Feng’s cards.

As for Li Minjie, he disregarded him entirely, thinking that someone who only added $10,000 in chips couldn’t have a very good hand.

After dropping a $100,000 bet, Wang Jia picked up Ye Feng’s cards.

Upon seeing that Ye Feng’s highest card was an Ace, a smug smile spread across his face.

“Just as I thought, trying to sneak a win with such weak cards?”

Actually, Ye Feng’s hand wasn’t small at all, but Wang Jia purposely said this only to confuse Li Minjie.

After all, there was still the big fish – Li Minjie – who he wouldn’t let off the hook.

“I’ll follow!” Li Minjie smirked contemptuously and confidently threw out $100,000 in chips.

At that moment, Li Minjie’s deficiencies began to show.

To an expert, this move was a fatal flaw.

PS: I had to take my son to the doctor today, and I will have to do so again tomorrow, so I can only upload two chapters today.

I also need to write one chapter for tomorrow morning’s update.

I hope everyone can understand, thank you.
