“Hehe, I used to do all the Showing Off around here, but I’ll let you have it now.” The God of Gamblers smiled ingratiatingly beside him.
“Hmm, the service is passable. I won’t be angry with you anymore.”
Lin Feng hummed contentedly, looking pleased. He was finally experiencing the highest realm of the God of Gamblers’ Showing Off—and even had the God of Gamblers serving him from both sides!
Who else could enjoy such treatment?! Only Lin Feng!
“Hehe, then we have to Slaughter All Opponents later!”
The God of Gamblers smiled amiably beside him. His vision was blurry, so he could not gamble against the Gambling Tyrant, and Lin Feng had become his mainstay.
“Don’t worry. I guarantee I’ll leave him utterly defeated,” Lin Feng replied.
……
“Which one of you is the God of Gamblers? Which one will gamble against me?”
The Gambling Tyrant could no longer contain himself and voiced his question. Most people were eager to learn the answer as well.
The God of Gamblers gave him a sharp look and said coldly, “What? Are you scared?! Of course my Younger Brother will gamble against you. I’m only a cheerleader!”
“Tsk! Me, scared? Even if both of you gambled against me, you still might not be able to beat me!”
The Gambling Tyrant was extremely confident. Then he snapped his fingers across the air with a sharp crack.
“Waiter! Bring both Gods of gamblers a glass of Romanée-Conti to calm their nerves.”
“I usually use this sort of wine to rinse my mouth.” The God of Gamblers held a glass of red wine and gargled noisily.
Lin Feng glanced sideways at him. Your eyes are practically squinting shut, and you still haven’t forgotten to Show Off?
“Sorry, but I use this sort of wine to feed pigs!”
Lin Feng said.
Pfft!
The God of Gamblers spat out his mouthful of wine and stared at Lin Feng in shock!
Was Lin Feng actually even better at Showing Off than he was?
He had taken showing off to the extreme. Invisible showing off was the most lethal of all!
Even the Gambling Tyrant across from them nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
After all, he had been savoring the Romanée-Conti with great relish. Wasn’t this an indirect way of calling him a pig?!
“God of Gamblers, you’re getting better at Showing Off, but I hope you won’t back out of the Gambling Match at the last moment like you did earlier!” The Gambling Tyrant looked contemptuous.
Lin Feng shrugged and blew out a smoke ring. “Let’s begin. Play however you like—I can crush you with ease!”
“You’ve got guts!”
“One hand decides victory and defeat. The loser must Relinquish the position and sever both arms. You’re not fit for the title of God of Gamblers!”
“Dealer, deal the cards!”
The gambling tyrant shouted as he began slaughtering all opponents.
“Wait! The wager didn’t include severing both arms!” the God of Gamblers shouted.
The Gambling Tyrant scoffed. “I don’t care whether the two of you are Twins. Since both of you have appeared in the Competition Arena, it’s equivalent to me gambling against two people. As for this temporary wager, are you afraid?”
If you’re afraid, then get lost. Don’t let people look down on you!”
For a moment.
Everyone’s eyes turned toward the two Gods of Gamblers. The judges and Referee said nothing. Everyone wanted to see whether the two Gods of Gamblers truly had any skill.
“Brother Lin, can you handle this?” the God of Gamblers whispered into Lin Feng’s ear.
“Of course!”
Lin Feng shrugged, wearing an unconcerned expression.
It was a Gambling Match with severed limbs as the stakes. He wasn’t going to lose!
After discussing the matter, both sides agreed that the two Gods of Gamblers could remain present.
Then the gambling match began!
This Gambling Match was Golden Flower Card Game. Rather than dealing three cards at once, the Dealer first dealt each player two hole cards.
The Gambling Tyrant raised his chin arrogantly and rubbed his hole cards.
Lin Feng followed the motion with a glance. A streak of golden radiance shot from his eyes—the power of his Fiery Golden Eyes.
In an instant, Lin Feng saw that the gambling tyrant’s hole cards were the three of hearts and the two of hearts!
The gambling tyrant smiled. “God of Gamblers, aren’t you going to look at your hole cards?”
“No need. Golden flower card game is all about psychological warfare. Even if I get garbage cards, I can still scare you to death!” Lin Feng’s eyes revealed disdain.
“That confident!?”
“Very well. Dealer, deal the final card!”
The Dealer dealt the third card to each player.
Next!
It was time to compete with real strength!
The gambling tyrant took his three cards and began rubbing them back and forth in his hands!
Wisps of white smoke also emerged between his hands.
The spectators throughout the arena began trembling with the rhythm. The God of Gamblers was gambling against the Gambling Tyrant, and the use of a Supernatural Ability was the highlight of the entire scene!
“So this is a supernatural ability?”
Lin Feng glanced over. The Gambling Tyrant had transformed his cards into three twos, but he did not seem satisfied and kept rubbing them.
Lin Feng glanced at his own hole cards. Although they were face down, his Fiery Golden Eyes revealed them at once: a two, a three, and a five.
But the God of Gamblers was unsure. He reached over with his right hand to look at the hole cards.
Smack!
Lin Feng knocked his hand away with a single slap. “Don’t sneak a look at my cards. The whole point is to feel your heart race!”
“The Gambling Tyrant has a Supernatural Ability. Didn’t you see smoke rising from his hands? Perhaps he’s transforming your cards away…” the God of Gamblers said, narrowing his eyes.
“Hehe.”
Lin Feng only smiled without answering. He watched the Gambling Tyrant rub and transform his cards.
The Gambling Tyrant’s Supernatural Ability seemed insufficiently refined. He could not transform his cards into the highest Supreme Hand.
The spectators throughout the arena sat in terrifying silence, their gazes fixed on the Gambling Tyrant. Meanwhile, the God of Gamblers made no move, leaving everyone puzzled.
Time passed second by second.
……
Riiip!
Just then.
Lin Feng had waited so long that boredom overcame him. He took a packet of Weilong Spicy Strips from the System Space and tore it open.
Unexpectedly, this exceptionally terrifying silence was suddenly broken by the sound.
In an instant, everyone at the scene focused their gaze on Lin Feng.
“The God of Gamblers is making a move!”
“The God of Gamblers has begun displaying his gambling skills, but what is he holding?”
“An… oily package? And a bunch of little long strips?”
“Uh…”
Facing the crowd’s excited, curious gazes, Lin Feng said awkwardly, “I was bored waiting. Eating something shouldn’t count as cheating, right?”
“Is the God of Gamblers hungry!?”
“You can drink red wine, so of course eating isn’t against the rules!”
“God of Gamblers, if you’re hungry, I’ll treat you to sea cucumber and abalone after the match. We can even order foie gras right here…”
The fans shouted.
“No need. My mouth simply lacks flavor. A packet of Weilong Spicy Strips will be enough to whet my appetite.”
“Spicy strips!? What are those? Are they essential for every God of Gamblers?”
Everyone was curious.
……
Lin Feng ignored the crowd’s astonished gazes and began chewing a Spicy Strip with relish.
“His mouth is glistening with oil!? They look fragrant!”
The God of Gamblers swallowed hungrily and gazed at Lin Feng with yearning, pitiful eyes.
He stood closest to Lin Feng. When Lin Feng tore open the package, its fragrance rushed into the God of Gamblers’ nose, carrying a savory, spicy, refreshing Aura that shocked his senses.
Accustomed to delicacies from land and sea, he watched Lin Feng chew the Spicy Strips with relish, oil gleaming around his mouth.
Unable to hold back any longer, the God of Gamblers said, “Um, older brother, may I have a taste?”
“Sure, no problem.”
Lin Feng pinched a Spicy Strip and handed it to the God of Gamblers.
Suddenly!
The moment the Spicy Strip touched his tongue, the God of Gamblers’ eyes widened. He took a large gulp of Romanée-Conti, then bit into another Spicy Strip with a loud “mua!”
Whoosh!
The God of Gamblers sprang from his chair like a released spring and shouted in astonishment:
“Woohoo!”
“So, so, so delicious!”
