Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Strange Dreams
"That's right, I told you the special hand was the biggest," Ye Feng continued to feign insanity and act the fool as he saw he could actually collect the chips.
However, the few people at the poker table became somewhat uneasy. In their eyes, Ye Feng was merely mocking them; he clearly wasn't here to gamble.
The next round soon began, and after all the cards were dealt, Ye Feng used his Penetrating Vision to take a quick glance around. This time, he still had the highest hand, and it was even a set of triples.
Coming up with triples two hands in a row seemed almost defying the heavens, given that normally, one might not see triples in an entire evening of gambling.
When it was Ye Feng's turn to bet, he confidently threw down a 10,000 yuan chip. With such a hand, he had to at least go through a few rounds of blind bets!
This game was destined to be particularly tense because Ye Feng wasn't the only one with an impressive hand; there was also a flush and a straight flush on the table, ensuring Ye Feng would win even more chips.
Indeed, after more than ten rounds, only three players remained as the others had folded. When it came to Ye Feng's turn to bet again, he chose to look at his cards. After a quick peek at his hand, he deliberately put on an excited demeanor and exclaimed loudly,
"Holy smokes, it's that most powerful hand again! I'm rich, I'm rich!" As he finished speaking, he swiftly tossed in a 20,000 yuan chip.
This was also part of Ye Feng's strategy; in the previous round, he had pretended that the weakest hand was the strongest, and now that he truly had the strongest hand, claiming it to be the strongest would make others think he had the special hand from the previous round.
As expected! His strategy seemed to work. After hearing his words, the remaining two players instantly breathed a sigh of relief and disregarded him without hesitation.
"I'll call! I don't believe you really got the strongest hand again," the man with the straight flush said, his acting equally convincing. Despite his heart bursting with joy, he feigned a gambling demeanor and threw in a 20,000 yuan chip.
"I don't believe it either. How could anyone get the strongest special hand two rounds in a row?" The man with the flush was just as shameless, copying the move of the guy before him, reluctantly pushing out a 20,000 yuan chip.
"If you don't believe it, that's your problem. As for me, I never complain about having too much, haha!" Seeing the others fall for his ruse, Ye Feng's heart blossomed with joy, and he once again tossed in a 20,000 yuan chip.
Knowing that continuing to increase the stakes would just waste chips, the three of them conferred and decided to bet another 600,000 yuan each and then show their hands simultaneously.
Ye Feng also knew not to push things too far, so he agreed. After all, he could slowly win more chips.
"I have the ace high flush, there's no one with a higher hand than mine, right?" After everyone had placed their bets, the man with the flush revealed his hand first, looking very smug, believing he was certain to win.
"Sorry, but I have the straight flush," but before the flush guy could finish, the man with the straight flush had already revealed his hand and even glanced at the flush guy as if to say, 'See! Who's the cleverer now?'
"Ah! I told you I had the most powerful hand, and you just wouldn't believe me," and just as the straight flush guy was ready to collect his chips, the boastful Ye Feng opened his hand with a smile and a look of exasperation.
"Oh my god, a leopard... a triplet?" The man who held the golden flowers, ready to mock Ye Feng's special hand, was all flustered when he saw Ye Feng had a triplet.
"Yes! Triplet is the strongest, isn't it?" Ye Feng nodded his head, continuing to play his part with great innocence.
"Haha! Yes, a triplet is the biggest." Pan Long couldn't help laughing so hard he was close to tears, happiness had come too fast!
"Is this guy, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?" It was only at this moment that Xu Fei seriously sized up Ye Feng, at the same time feeling somewhat doubtful in his mind.
But then he shook his head, dismissing the thought. If Ye Feng was pretending to be weak to take advantage, then the first hand was too unbelievable. After all, those who dare to bet on special hands are either crazy or peerless masters, and Ye Feng didn't seem like the latter.
Seeing that Ye Feng had won more than 3 million in just two hands, Pan Long instantly felt energized, focusing intently on the game, eager to see how Ye Feng would wipe them clean today.
However, he was destined for disappointment. After all, in gambling, one can't always win. In the next few hands, Ye Feng's cards weren't great, and he lost more than two hundred thousand.
"I'm going to the restroom; you play for a bit!" After a few rounds, Ye Feng felt his eyes getting tired, so he took the opportunity to head to the restroom and stepped away from the table.
Ye Feng currently only had 200 points of spiritual value, which could sustain the use of Perspective Eyes for 200 seconds; thus, he had already used up about half of his spiritual value, so feeling tired was expected.
"Come on, continue playing for me!" Eager to see Ye Feng finally return from the restroom, Pan Long quickly stood up to give up his seat, still counting on Ye Feng to help him win against this detestable bunch.
"Let me rest for a while; you play first!" Ye Feng shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to help Pan Long, but his head felt heavy at the moment, and he wondered if it was because of overusing his eyes.
"Alright then! But you must come to replace me later! I can't make it without you." Although Pan Long was somewhat disappointed, he didn't insist.
"Okay, I'll go and snooze for a bit." Feeling that he really couldn't make it without lying down, Ye Feng walked over to a couch and lay down immediately.
The genuine leather couch was so comfortable that soon after lying down, Ye Feng felt a strong wave of sleepiness and his vision darkened as he drifted off.
In his dream, Ye Feng stumbled to a spring and unconsciously scooped up some water to drink without thinking. The moment he drank the spring water, he felt the heaviness in his head disappear instantly...
After sleeping for an hour, Ye Feng woke up. Before he could stretch, Pan Long spotted him and approached urgently, saying loudly, "Boss, you're finally awake. If you didn't wake up, I was about to lose my pants."
"Oh come on, you can't be that bad at this!" Ye Feng was somewhat incredulous, but when he saw Pan Long's chips, he believed it, as the facts spoke for themselves—Pan Long really didn't have many chips left.
Ye Feng couldn't believe that in just one nap, this guy had lost down to a few hundred thousand in chips. Indeed, one should not fear a god-like opponent but a pig-like teammate.
