"How do you want to bet?"
Hearing Wanwan's words, Shen Lang smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry, so let's pick a gambling method that can decide the winner quickly."
"Blackjack 21 or dice, choose one."
Shen Lang was in a hurry to celebrate Wang Yuyan's birthday, so he didn't want to spend too much time on gambling and just wanted to finish quickly.
Blackjack 21 is played with four decks of cards, with jokers removed, totaling 208 cards. A minimum of two cards are dealt each time. Players compare their card values, with 21 being the highest. Going over 21 is a bust.
An Ace can be counted as 1 or 11 points. J, Q, and K are all worth 10 points. If a player's initial two cards are an Ace and any of the 10-point cards (10, J, Q, K), it's called Blackjack, and they win directly.
This is a very popular gambling method, favored by casinos worldwide.
"Blackjack 21 it is."
Wanwan heard this and smiled, "You're in a hurry, and so am I. My yoga instructor is about to start her live stream, and I need to go back and practice yoga."
With that, Wanwan pulled out a black card from her wallet and threw it to Axiu, saying, "Swipe me ten billion in chips."
Axiu took the black card and then asked Shen Lang, "Mr. Shen, how many chips do you need to exchange?"
"Same as her, ten billion."
Shen Lang thought for a moment and replied.
"Alright—"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Axiu quickly went to exchange the chips. Five minutes later, Axiu, along with four people, placed ten billion in chips in front of Shen Lang and Wanwan.
The chips were specially made, each worth 2 million. Even so, they formed a small mountain in front of the two of them.
"Let's begin."
After picking up a chip and weighing it in his hand, Wanwan called out to the dealer beside them.
Hearing Wanwan's words, the sexy and beautiful female dealer looked at Shen Lang and asked, "Mr. Shen, are you ready?"
"I'm ready, we can start."
Shen Lang nodded at the beautiful female dealer and said.
"Alright—"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, the beautiful female dealer nodded, then efficiently took out four brand-new decks of cards. She showed them to both parties to confirm they were new and sealed, then removed the jokers from the four decks and put them into the shuffling machine.
After shuffling, Wanwan began to bet.
"Snap—"
Wanwan snapped her fingers and said to a staff member beside her, "One hundred million."
The casino staff member immediately helped to clear Wanwan's hundred million in chips and pushed them to the center of the table.
Then, another staff member also pushed Shen Lang's hundred million in chips forward.
"Deal the cards."
After Wanwan finished betting, the beautiful female dealer called out and then skillfully began to deal the cards. She dealt the first card to Wanwan face up.
Next, she dealt a card to Shen Lang, also face up.
This is the rule of Blackjack 21: whether as the dealer or a player, the first card must be revealed.
Seeing that Shen Lang's first card was the 10 of Hearts, Yang Ce, Axiu, and Wang Yuyan were all excited.
However, Yu Lingling frowned, looking worried.
This was because Yu Lingling was standing next to Wanwan and only saw that one of Wanwan's cards was the 2 of Diamonds.
Seeing this value, Yu Lingling's brows furrowed, and she remained silent for a long time.
At this moment, the beautiful female dealer began the second round of dealing. She dealt a card to Wanwan face up, which was the 3 of Spades, but she dealt Shen Lang's card face down, so its value was hidden.
This is also a rule of Blackjack 21; the dealer's second card is dealt face down.
Even without seeing the value of Shen Lang's second card, Yu Lingling's expression was still very grim.
This was because Wanwan's current hand was 5 points, which was basically the lowest possible.
However, Yu Lingling did not speak, because even with this score, Wanwan showed no sign of panic. Her smile was confident and composed, not at all like someone who was about to lose.
"Hit me—"
Wanwan lightly tapped the table with her hand and called out to the beautiful female dealer.
Hearing Wanwan's words, the beautiful female dealer immediately dealt Wanwan another card.
This time, Wanwan received a 10 of Clubs, and her score immediately jumped from 5 points to 15 points.
Seeing this score, Yu Lingling's brows relaxed, and she became less tense.
However, she knew that Wanwan would definitely ask for another card.
But soon, Yu Lingling realized she had guessed wrong.
She saw that Wanwan looked at her cards for a long time and showed no intention of asking for more.
"Hit or stand?"
Seeing Wanwan's silence, the beautiful female dealer politely asked.
"Stand, I'm done."
Hearing this, Wanwan's lips curved into a wicked smile, and she revealed her three cards one by one, saying to Shen Lang, "I have 15 points, you can start now."
"What?"
Seeing Wanwan stand on 15 points, everyone, including Yu Lingling, Yang Ce, Axiu, and the employees of White Horse Club, was stunned.
How could Wanwan dare to stand with such a low hand? They knew that Shen Lang's first card was a 10 of Hearts.
Soon, Shen Lang revealed his second card, which was the 4 of Clubs.
Seeing the value of Shen Lang's second card, Yang Ce, Axiu, and the employees of White Horse Club all looked regretful. If only it were two points higher.
Yu Lingling also breathed a sigh of relief at this.
However, she quickly became tense again.
Shen Lang's current score was 14 points. He would definitely ask for another card. Now, Wanwan's only chance to win was if Shen Lang's next card was worth more than 7 points, resulting in a bust.
But the probability of this was too low. Was it possible?
Honestly, Yu Lingling was starting to think Wanwan was too overconfident.
"Hit me—"
At this moment, Shen Lang called out to the beautiful female dealer.
"Okay—"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, the beautiful female dealer nodded and then used the card shovel to deal another card to Shen Lang.
However, as soon as this card was dealt, Yang Ce and the others widened their eyes in agony, while Yu Lingling became ecstatic.
It was a 9 of Hearts. With this card, Shen Lang's score instantly went from 14 to 23 points, which was a bust.
A bust meant 0 points.
Therefore, Wanwan had won this round.
"How... how is that possible?"
Yang Ce, Axiu, and the employees of White Horse Club widened their eyes and exclaimed.
They couldn't believe that Wanwan would stand on 15 points, nor could they believe that Shen Lang, after getting 14 points, would receive a 9, thus losing the gamble.
"Wanwan is mighty!"
While Yang Ce and the others were dejected, Yu Lingling cheered excitedly at Wanwan.
After speaking, Yu Lingling didn't forget to taunt Shen Lang, "What 'genius boy who won three casino cities,' in front of our Wanwan, he's still a bit short. Nothing special."
"It seems Yang Ce didn't find a savior, but a gravedigger."
