Chapter 41

The three-person gambling game turned into a four-person game. Whether it was the Land God or Wang Bohua, both were wary of Ding Ning.

This fat guy who suddenly appeared was a bit strange, able to bet 300,000 on a straight, which meant he was either a lunatic or an expert.

And Ding Ning didn't look like a lunatic at all. From his conversation with Yue Ge'er, it seemed he was on her side.

Apart from them, there was one more person who was deeply wary of Ding Ning, and that was Ma Yingxiong.

Ma Yingxiong stared at Ding Ning for a while, and when the dealer was dealing the cards, he whispered to Ding Ning, "Little fatty, don't think I don't know what you're up to. It's fine if you just want to play, but remember, some things are not for you to get. As long as I'm here, you can never compare to me."

Ding Ning glanced at him, "Don't say 'never' so easily; only turtles have the right to say 'never.'"

"You...!"

Ma Yingxiong was quite angry, but since the dealer was about to deal the cards, he couldn't shout at Ding Ning. He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "Since you're here for her, you should understand that the only meaningful win in this game is mine. You know what to do, right?"

"We'll see. I have a better idea."

Ding Ning ignored this self-important person and focused on the game.

Seeing that Ding Ning didn't respond, Ma Yingxiong thought he had understood and became spirited. Previously, the Land God and Wang Bohua had teamed up to bluff him, but now with Ding Ning, he had an ally.

The dealer dealt the cards. Ding Ning's open card was a 8 of Clubs.

Next to him, Ma Yingxiong's open card was a 7, Wang Bohua's was an Ace of Spades, and the Land God's was a 10 of Hearts.

Wang Bohua bet one million, the Land God followed, Ma Yingxiong followed, and Ding Ning also followed, then raised by three million.

Everyone followed. In the second round of open cards, Ding Ning got a 5 of Diamonds, Ma Yingxiong got another 7, the Land God got a King of Spades, and Wang Bohua got a 9 of Hearts.

Ma Yingxiong, with a pair of 7s, hesitated and bet 500,000.

The Land God raised by three million, and everyone followed.

In the third round, the Land God got a Queen of Spades, Wang Bohua got an 8 of Hearts, Ma Yingxiong got a 3, and Ding Ning got a King of Clubs.

At this point, the Land God's open cards were a Queen, King, and Ace of Spades, Wang Bohua's were an 8, 9, and 10 of Hearts, Ma Yingxiong had a pair of 7s, and Ding Ning had a messy hand.

"Ha ha, Mr. Wang, even if you get a straight flush, it might not be bigger than mine. Three million!"

The Land God confidently bet three million, and Wang Bohua smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I can't fold either; there's still one more card."

He followed, and Ma Yingxiong hesitated, looking at his hole card.

His hole card was also a 7, giving him three 7s. However, the other two had straight flush hands, and he didn't dare to raise. After some consideration, he still followed.

Ding Ning didn't raise either and followed directly.

"Let's see what the last card is."

The Land God took the card dealt by the dealer and threw it down, revealing a Jack of Spades.

Wang Bohua also threw down a Jack of Hearts.

Ma Yingxiong trembled as he took his card, a 6 of Clubs, which meant his hand was capped at three 7s.

Ding Ning also took his card with a smile, another King.

Ding Ning had a pair of Kings, the other two had straight flushes, and Ma Yingxiong had a pair of 7s.

The Land God spoke up, this time throwing in five million and smiling at Ma Yingxiong, "If I bet too much, this young man won't have the money to follow."

Wang Bohua smiled bitterly, "I'm probably going to lose this round, but I still have to follow, just not as much as you."

If it was only the Land God betting, Ma Yingxiong might have followed, but seeing Wang Bohua follow as well, he was hesitant.

Any straight flush would beat him, even a flush would beat him, and if Ding Ning had three Kings, he would lose. The chances of losing were too high.

After much consideration, he decided to play it safe and reluctantly folded his cards, "PASS."

The Land God nodded in satisfaction, "Good, good, a wise man knows when to yield. Young man, what about you? Follow or not?"

Ding Ning looked at the two straight flush hands and smiled, "Follow, why not? I have a pair of Kings, and your hands don't even have a pair. My chances of winning are the highest. Not only will I follow, but I'll raise you."

"All in!"

Ding Ning waved his hand, and all the chips in front of him were pushed to the center of the table.

This bold move stunned everyone in the room. This little fatty had such a presence.

Yue Ge'er looked at Ding Ning in amazement. That was 30 million, not 3,000. He bet it all with a wave of his hand, something even a typical millionaire might not have the nerve to do, especially in such an unfavorable situation.

Was this the same fatty who was happy with a 500-yuan reward?

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Ding Ning, and she found him increasingly hard to read.

The Land God and Wang Bohua both had serious expressions. The Land God said, "Little fatty, have you thought it through? If either of us gets a flush, you're done."

"Of course I know that, but statistically, the chances of you getting a different suit are higher, about three-quarters. Why shouldn't I bet with three-quarters against one-quarter?"

Ma Yingxiong looked at Ding Ning with disdain, "Little fatty, are you here to die? If Mr. Wang didn't have at least a flush, why would he follow a spade straight flush? I folded with three 7s, and you're still foolishly sending yourself to your death."

After saying that, he turned to look at Yue Ge'er, somewhat regretfully, "Ge'er, don't worry. The game has just started. He's already all in and lost. He'll be back on track soon."

But Yue Ge'er didn't respond to him this time and focused on the game.

At this moment, Wang Bohua finally sighed and said to Ma Yingxiong, "I don't have a straight flush or a flush. I have a pair of 9s. I followed the Land God because I thought he might not have a flush. Since a pair of Kings is all in, I'll pass."

Saying that, Wang Bohua folded his cards.

Seeing Wang Bohua fold, the Land God smiled awkwardly, "As expected of a top 100 player in the world, you saw through my bluff so easily. I don't even have a pair. I'll pass."

Saying that, the Land God revealed his hole card, a 4 of Clubs.

The room fell silent. Ma Yingxiong's mouth dropped open in disbelief, and he suddenly stood up, pointing at the Land God and Wang Bohua, "You're bluffing again!"

"Is that not allowed?"

Wang Bohua gave Ma Yingxiong a cold look, secretly disdaining him.

Ma Yingxiong realized his outburst and knew that bluffing was common in gambling. If you couldn't bluff, you shouldn't be gambling.

He had less than half of his chips left, and sweat was forming on his forehead. He glanced back at Yue Ge'er, but she wasn't looking at him; she was focused on the fat guy.

Clenching his fists under the table, he couldn't accept this outcome.

The Land God looked at Ding Ning with some confusion, "Little fatty, I really admire your courage."

Ding Ning's eyes twinkled, "Nothing much, I'm just naturally bold."

Gathering the chips in front of him, Ding Ning now had about 50 million.

Looking at the chips, Ding Ning felt nothing.

As the God of Wealth, he was extremely sensitive to money. Not just money, but anything of value, he could vaguely sense, even with the urge to possess it.

But the pile of chips in front of him gave him no feeling at all. At the beginning, the few hundred or thousand chips were fine, as they could be easily converted to cash. But these were different; they were just a pile of plastic toys.

From this, Ding Ning could clearly judge that even if he won all the chips from the others, he couldn't convert them.

In other words, the Land God and Wang Bohua didn't have that much money; they were bluffing, and they were bluffing to trick Yue Ge'er.

This was why Ding Ning could bet 30 million so boldly. If it were real money, Ding Ning would have already taken a car back to Green Mountain Village.

Understanding this, the game still needed to continue. He had to win all their chips to end the game.

Repaying the kind Yue Ge'er was just a small part of it. The most important reason was for his master.
