Seeing no one answered, Chen Yaoyang stretched his hand out in front of Luo Chao and asked again, "I asked you, what is this!?"

"It's a dice." Luo Chao shrugged, responding nonchalantly, "It's just turned to dust now."

"Of course I know! The question is, how did my dice turn into powder? Where is my sixty points!" Chen Yaoyang shouted angrily.

"Sorry, Mr. Chen, if I may be blunt, this should count as zero points." Luo Chao stretched out two fingers, making a zero gesture towards Chen Yaoyang, "I'm one point, you're zero points, you've lost this round!"

"Are you fucking with me?" Chen Yaoyang held a pistol to Luo Chao's forehead, shouting, "Tell me, was it your doing!"

With the pistol pressed to his forehead, Luo Chao instead asked coolly, "Mr. Chen, are you trying to cheat again?"

"Hmph!" Chen Yaoyang snorted coldly and put away his pistol.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Since the dice is broken, Mr. Luo, let's change the game!"

Luo Chao had already anticipated Chen Yaoyang would say that, and he did not oppose, but asked, "Then what would Mr. Chen like to play?"

"Card grabbing!" Chen Yaoyang picked up a deck of playing cards.

"No problem." Luo Chao nodded confidently.

The so-called "card grabbing" involves a dealer shuffling a deck of 54 playing cards and then drawing 35 cards from it to place on the table.

Then, both parties in the gamble must draw the cards they want from these 35 cards to conduct a five-round, best of three gambling skill duel!

According to international convention, the first round is poker, and the winner of the previous round decides the content of the subsequent rounds!

This gameplay requires the gambler to simultaneously use speed, eyesight, hearing, and memory, as well as test their wit and on-the-spot adaptability!

Thus, card grabbing is regarded as the gameplay that best tests the comprehensive ability of gambling experts in the gambling world.

"Chief Ma, come over and be the dealer." Chen Yaoyang suddenly said to Majeson next to him.

Due to the high-level nature of card grabbing, which demands dexterity from the dealer, only Majeson among those present was suitable to be the dealer for this match.

Hearing this, Majeson hesitated for a moment but finally walked over to Chen Yaoyang.

He took the deck of cards handed over by Chen Yaoyang, inspected it in his hands, and after confirming there were no issues, first asked Luo Chao, "Do you need to verify the cards?"

"Yes." Luo Chao answered without hesitation.

In fact, card verification is an essential procedure in a real gambling skills duel!

The real world isn't like Hong Kong and Taiwan gambling movies where the gambling gods stylishly say, "No need to verify."

It is nothing like that!

It's no exaggeration to say that verifying the cards is fundamental to winning a gambling skills duel!

The purpose of verifying the cards is for gambling experts to touch the cards and use their hearing to discern the weight of each card, then use their eyesight and memory to remember the position of each card!

That is to say, before the dealer deals the cards, gambling experts can, through card verification, have a clear understanding of the overall condition of the deck!

Luo Chao held the deck with his right hand, his thumb lightly brushing the edges of the cards. Suddenly, the 54 cards fanned out, making a "pa pa" sound.

Luo Chao's ears flicked slightly, his eyesight engaged. The swiftly flying cards, each card face was clearly magnified, slowed down, entering Luo Chao's vision, and the sequence of card faces was instantly memorized!

And Luo Chao used his fingers to make the cards hit each other, producing a "pa pa" sound, to utilize his hearing in coordination with his memory and vision to memorize the weight of each card!

It's important to know that the weight of each card slightly differs due to the card face and manufacturing process.

For ordinary people, these differences are negligible, but for gambling experts, they play with these minute differences!

Using hearing to determine the card face!

"I've verified them." After just 40 seconds, Luo Chao handed the cards back to Majeson.

"Do you need to verify the cards?" Majeson asked Chen Yaoyang after taking the cards.

"Haha, the rule of the World Gambling Association is really foolish, every time they ask such an obvious question!" Chen Yaoyang, with a disdainful look, snatched the cards from Majeson and began to verify them.

Chen Yaoyang took 40 seconds to verify the cards this time.

Majeson shook his head helplessly, took over the deck, and started shuffling it.

All of a sudden, the deck seemed alive, jumping and tumbling in Majeson's hands!

Every card was continuously rearranged! Constantly shuffled!

At this moment, both Luo Chao and Chen Yaoyang focused all their attention on the deck of bouncing cards in Majeson's hands!

Luo Chao and Chen Yaoyang must simultaneously use their hearing, eyesight, and memory abilities to ensure they remember the position and order of each card in this thoroughly shuffled deck!

The constantly turning cards, in Luo Chao's pupils, slowed and enlarged!

And Luo Chao could also determine each card's continually changing position and order through the slight "pa pa" sound during the card's collision, supplemented by his eyesight!

Majeson shuffled for 3 minutes before stopping his hands and then directly selecting 35 cards from the 54, arranging them neatly on the gambling table.

Five rows with seven cards each.

Five sevens make thirty-five, easy to see at a glance!

For Luo Chao and Chen Yaoyang, they actually already had the 35 cards and their card faces memorized in their minds.

Now, they could randomly guess the face of any card without any issue.

But it wasn't over yet, Majeson began to disrupt the order of these 35 cards!

He kept rearranging the position of each playing card!

His hands moved like butterflies flying among flowers, dazzling everyone.

And Luo Chao and Chen Yaoyang's ears twitched continuously, their eyes fixed on Majeson's movements, while their memory started working!

"Card grabbing" is indeed a gambling skills duel that best tests a gambling expert's comprehensive abilities! Truly lives up to its name!

As for everyone else in the gambling hall, besides the three of them, they were utterly bewildered at Majeson's shuffling and dealing technique!

Subsequently, Majeson again rearranged the playing cards for a full 3 minutes before stopping, completely disrupting the original positions of the 35 cards!

"By international convention, for the first round, please both select 5 cards each from these 35 cards on the gambling table, and then compare their values according to poker rules! Please prepare, I will give the command." Majeson said, glancing at Luo Chao and Chen Yaoyang.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yaoyang leaned slightly forward, his fingers itching to move, having already made up his mind on which five cards to take. Now he just needed to utilize his hand speed at any moment.

In contrast, Luo Chao, instead of showing the eager anticipation like Chen Yaoyang, pulled out a cigarette and leisurely smoked it, appearing utterly relaxed!

Meanwhile, Majeson also issued the countdown command, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the first round, start!"
