120: Chapter 120 Techniques

“What did you say?”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the man, but everyone nearby widened their eyes.

Standing behind Qin Mo, Qin Shaojie froze for a moment before realizing something was wrong. Wasn't that his car?

He immediately said with a dejected face, “B-Brother, that's my car! I begged Third Uncle for a long time before he finally bought it for me!”

Qin Mo smiled faintly upon hearing this.

“Be good! Listen to your big brother; we won't lose.”

“Sigh~”

Qin Shaojie sighed. Forget it, just treat it as a gift to his big brother. At worst, he could just use a sob story in front of Third Uncle again...

“Kid! Is what you said true? If I win just one round, this will be mine?”

The Old Gambler stared fixedly at the car keys in Qin Mo's hand.

This was a luxury car worth at least one or two million! If he could get his hands on it, he would definitely be able to break even!

Thinking of this, a hint of surprise appeared in the Old Gambler's eyes as he looked at Qin Mo. He truly was a money-delivering boy!

The corners of Qin Mo's mouth curled up slightly.

“Of course!”

Cheng Xiaoguang tugged at Qin Mo and shook his head. “Brother Mo, isn't this inappropriate?”

“It's fine!”

Qin Mo cast an assuring look at him, then turned to the Old Gambler.

“You tell me what we're playing.”

The Old Gambler lowered his head in thought for a moment before saying calmly, “Playing cards. How about Three Card Poker?”

Qin Mo nodded. “No problem, let's go!”

Immediately, the two sat at a small table, and the Old Gambler took out a brand-new deck of playing cards.

Shuffling and cutting the deck were done in one smooth motion; it was clear he had some real skills.

As the Old Gambler shuffled, he looked at Qin Mo with disdain.

A greenhorn, how good could he possibly be? His own flashy shuffling technique alone was enough to scare him to death!

“Kid, draw your cards!”

Qin Mo smiled slightly and calmly drew the first card, then the second, then the third.

He then looked at the Old Gambler.

“I have my stake ready. Where is yours?”

“This...”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Old Gambler hesitated, then gritted his teeth and walked toward the inner room.

Before long, the Old Gambler brought out an exquisite little box.

“Take a look! Are you satisfied with this stake?”

Qin Mo curiously opened the box upon hearing this, and a faint, shimmering green light immediately appeared.

Everyone widened their eyes in shock. “This is... a luminous pearl!”

“Holy crap! A luminous pearl! So that's what a luminous pearl looks like. That's a real eye-opener!”

“Where did this Old Gambler get a luminous pearl? He can barely afford to eat, so how does he have this thing? Did he steal it from somewhere?”

“To the person above, what you said is very likely. This kind of luxury item can't see the light of day. It's either from a tomb or in the hands of some rich person.”

“Is a luminous pearl really that crazy? It doesn't look like much! It just glows!”

“To the person above, this luminous pearl could buy ten years of your life!”

“Are you kidding me? My monthly salary is 1,800. It can buy ten years of me?”

“Uh... sorry, I calculated wrong. Add a zero; it can buy you a hundred years...”

“Holy crap?”

“Dad! Where did you get this? How could you have something so valuable?”

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoguang, standing to the side, said with a face full of shock and disbelief.

Qin Mo's gaze also turned cold. At the first glance of the luminous pearl, Qin Mo could tell it had been taken from a tomb.

He didn't expect that this Old Gambler in front of him was actually a tomb raider!

Qin Mo closed the box containing the luminous pearl and said calmly, “Very good! Let's start!”

Qin Mo threw the car keys directly onto the table as the ante and looked calmly at the Old Gambler.

“This...”

The Old Gambler looked at Qin Mo, gritted his teeth, and looked at the cards in his hand.

“Can I not put up an ante?”

Qin Mo said calmly, “Of course! The keys will stay on the table. As long as you can win one round against me, you can take them.”

The Old Gambler was immediately overjoyed when he heard this and threw his cards directly onto the table.

“Fold!”

Qin Mo nodded and didn't say anything.

The two played the second round; the Old Gambler still didn't dare to call, until after nearly ten consecutive rounds.

The Old Gambler looked at the cards in his hand and finally felt much more at ease.

Qin Mo gave an evil, charming smile.

“How about it? Do you want to call? As long as you win, this car is yours.”

The Old Gambler glanced at Qin Mo. There was no way his cards were that good every single round, right?

He immediately gritted his teeth. “I'll call! Show your cards!”

As he said this, he laid out the cards in his hand.

Three Kings lay quietly on the table.

“This... this is a Leopard!”

Everyone exclaimed, their faces full of astonishment.

Qin Shaojie looked at Qin Mo helplessly. That's it...

His beloved car was surely gone...

“Hahaha...”

The Old Gambler laughed out loud and reached for the car keys on the table; in his view, he had already won.

Qin Mo glared at him.

“What are you doing? Have you won?”

“What do you mean?”

The Old Gambler frowned at Qin Mo. He had a Leopard! Could it be that he had a bigger Leopard than his?

Qin Mo smiled faintly.

“Look carefully, have you really won?”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Mo revealed two of his three cards.

They were a three and a five.

After seeing Qin Mo's cards, everyone's hearts sank... It was over, they had lost...

“Hahahaha...”

After glancing at Qin Mo's cards, the Old Gambler laughed so hard he slapped his thigh.

“What kind of crappy hand is that? I have a Leopard!”

“In the game of Three Card Poker, Leopards aren't invincible, right? My hand is specifically designed to kill Leopards!”

As he spoke, Qin Mo unhurriedly revealed his last card.

A two lay quietly before everyone's eyes.

Combined with the previous two cards, it was a 2-3-5.

“Wh...what?”

The Old Gambler's laughter came to an abrupt halt. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and he even thought he had misread it, rubbing his eyes vigorously.

“Yay! We won!”

Everyone was stunned for a moment before dancing with joy. Qin Shaojie was so excited he almost shed tears; his beloved car was finally saved!

At this moment, the Old Gambler muttered in a daze, “This... this... how is this possible!”

Qin Mo glanced at him.

“Nothing is impossible. When you compete with me on luck, I compete with you on technique. When you compete with me on technique, I want your life!”

As he said this, Qin Mo spread out the cards from the previous ten rounds.

“This... this...”

The whole room was shocked into silence.

The Old Gambler collapsed onto the floor, his face full of shock and disbelief.

The cards on the table were Leopards ranging from Aces down to Tens; every single round had been a Leopard.

Qin Mo unhurriedly toyed with the keys on the table.

“How about it? Do you accept defeat?”

“How is this possible! Who exactly are you?”

“Before I answer that question, I want to show you something.”

As he said this, Qin Mo tidied up the playing cards and held them in his hand.
