Chapter 22 The Hand of God
Yi Fei almost burst into laughter. Yang Chengjun was finally hidden once. He was able to hide the number one master in China. The boy named Gao Jin was still very good at it, and it must be of great help to his career and plans.
Yang Chengjun and Luo Yuanpei looked at each other. It was not that they didn't understand, but that the world was changing rapidly. Gao Jin's dice was entirely dependent on Qianzhi. Except for Yi Fei's lack of deep understanding of Qianzhi and gambling, no one else knew. The preconceived things told them that Gao Jin was a rare master, but gambling masters were disdainful of using Qianzhi. Just based on this dizzy thinking convention, they completely ignored the evidence that almost did not exist, but was now destroyed by Yi Fei.
What is gambling? For people who are gambling, gambling is technical. The technology is not weak enough, but as long as it is not in a specific environment, it is not surprising that one loses to the brain. Gambling is a combination of the brain, eyes, and hands, and basically does not rely on any external forces.
What is Qianzhi? Qianzhi means trying every means to decide the winner outside the gambling table before the gambling table begins. The most obvious example is Gao Jin's victory. Special dice like the one he owns is obviously an external force item in Qianzhi. The master of Qianzhi basically does not rely on skills to win, but uses complex or simple traps, or items to win.
With the years of grudges between the two concepts of gambling and Qianmen, it is an unwritten practice for people in the gambling world to learn and use Qianmen. After all, it is like winning by cheating, and it has no sense of honor. Of course, the most important thing is that the method of winning by using unscrupulous means by Qianmen can easily arouse public outrage in the casino. If you win by relying on technology, there is no problem.
This seems to be unforgivable to Yang Chengjun and Luo Yuanpei. Besides, Gao Jin's hands and feet were extremely neat. If it weren't for Yi Fei, a guy with extremely amazing eyesight, the biggest possibility of this matter would be left alone and even become a mystery in the gambling world.
"Just relying on the first trick of stealing cards, he is definitely qualified to enter the top 100!" Suddenly, Yang Chengjun's confusion was gone, and he replaced it with relief and happiness: "Although I can't understand that move, I think his gambling skills are not lower than me, and they are likely to be above me."
Luo Yuanpei and Yi Fei were both startled and laughed with relief. Yi Fei naturally began to think about what kind of benefits Gao Jin could bring to him. He did not expect that Gao Jin could reach the level of praise Yang Chengjun in advance.
Next is naturally the scene of Liang Wen (i.e. Zhang Haowen). After experiencing the shocking impact of Gao Jin, Yang Chengjun did not pay much attention to the student Liang below. He just felt that Liang Wen should be a very ruthless and decisive person.
After appreciating these materials, Luo Yuanpei then took a sip of wine and sighed: "I didn't expect that the Chinese gambling world has been in decline for so many years, and so many strong people have appeared this year. Speaking of which, although Tan Su is a little arrogant, he is still a good player. I just hope that this time I will not be ruined of confidence."
"As long as Gao Jin participates in the top 100, I believe he can enter the top 50! As for Liang Wen, his specific level is not clear yet, but it should not be bad." Yang Chengjun thought for a while, then took a sip of wine and cleared his throat and said: "Gu Xiangdong may also have the chance to enter the top 100. He dare not assert before he specifically saw their performance!"
"Wait..." During the conversation between the two, Yi Fei was puzzled. What is the top 100 match? Why has he never heard of it before: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Luo, what are you referring to the top 100 matches? Can you tell me?"
The reason why Yi Fei asked this is because of respect for the two, and the second is naturally because of other issues. In the gambling world, qualifications and strength are very important, especially strength. When the strength is not up to that level, it is difficult for you to know more. Once you reach the level, you can know more.
The most typical example is that before Yi Fei worked in the casino, how could he know about Yang Chengjun's existence? As for the top 100 matches, it was because it was rushed, so Qian Huaisheng did not tell him. In fact, Qian Huaisheng did not think that Yi Fei's current strength is enough to participate in the so-called top 100 matches.
After getting the explanation from the two, Yi Fei realized that the Top 100 competitions can be called the Olympic Games in the gambling world. Because gambling is not suitable for too many things, there are few games in the gambling world. Of course, not too many people can participate.
The Top 100 is the Olympic Games in the gambling world. The only difference is that almost everyone can participate in this competition and get the qualification to bet against the Top 100 masters. Of course, if the whole world comes to participate, the result will naturally be extremely miserable. Therefore, the applicant still needs to reach a certain level.
When registering, we must mention the organizer. The organizer is not a person in the gambling world, and does not even understand gambling. He is also an independent existence from the gambling world and maintains a fair attitude to a large extent. As for the funds, of course, it is sponsorship and advertisements provided by various casinos. On the surface, this exists as an ordinary gambling king competition, but as long as the industry knows it, this is the top 100 competition.
In this way, the top 100 competitions can be said to be a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, but the top 100 competitions in the past ten years have been basically mediocre, and there are few dark horses that can enter the last few rounds of the competition. In the end, the top 100 masters are basically competing for the rich prizes for the championship.
Don’t think that holding the Top 100 competition is of no benefit. Many wealthy and big gamblers are all coming for this competition. For example, the last Top 100 competition was held in Lisboa Macau. In the schedule of the competition, Lisboa’s income was at least several times higher than usual. Don’t think that this number is nothing. You should know that SJM has created a record of a single-person income of over 100 million yuan in daily income in a single hall.
The gimmicks of the Gambling King Competition can attract ordinary tourists, but for experts, the top 100 competition that is once every two years is attractive. The top 100 competition is not the only factor that determines world rankings, but it is one of the important factors.
Once a professional gambler can reach the finals of the 64th round, he can be said to have a path to advance and may be attracted by various casinos at any time. In a simple sentence, this is the step to become famous.
The last top 100 champion was Bollinger of the United States. Bollinger was "New York New York" (not a repetition, the name of this casino is indeed two New Yorks. For convenience, I will only mention one in the following text) The casino's technical consultant is currently ranked first in the world. However, although Bollinger is currently the world's number one, he also cannot guarantee that he can continue to win the championship. The reason is very simple. In recent years, the position of the world's number one has always been around the hands of him and two other people.
Of course, Yang Chengjun participated in the Top 100, but he only won the fourth place in the best ranking, and he only got it when he was in the best form. Starting twelve years ago, the top three in the Top 100 tournament have never fallen into the hands of the Chinese.
"Twelve years ago? Why twelve years ago?" After hearing this, Yi Fei suddenly became very interested. He could not have imagined that there were several gossips and secrets to explore in the gambling world.
Yi Fei never expected that his simple question made Yang Chengjun and Luo Yuanpei look sad at the same time. Yang Chengjun's tone implicitly regret: "Twelve years ago, there was a Chinese master with great gambling skills and the highest ranking in the world, and he was the world's third master at that time. His name was Lin Ruiyun!"
"Lin Ruiyun rose rapidly in the 1980s. It was a time when professional experts from Europe and the United States emerged one after another. At that time, the Chinese gambling industry was extremely banned and there were no rookies. As a result, those senior experts were dismissed one after another!" Luo Yuanpei closed his eyes, revealing a look of pain. It was a very sad thing to recall that period of history.
Yi Fei was slightly shocked. Luo Yuanpei was fifty years old. How old should he be? He couldn't imagine it. Did he rely solely on those seniors to support the situation? However, thinking about it seems that it is also appropriate. In the thirty years after China's founding, gambling was basically insulated by the people of the country. It is difficult for any master to appear with Hong Kong and Macau alone.
"When Lin Ruiyun rose, he was only twenty-seven years old, which happened in 1985. That year, he participated in the Top 100 competition and won the third place in one fell swoop, shocking the gambling world! It made the whole world think that China's gambling world is going to make another master." Yang Chengjun sighed slightly: "In the next seven years, he became a banner of the Chinese gambling world, and no one could shake his third place! He is known as the God-Snatching Hand."
"It's a pity that in 1993, he won the championship in the top 100 for the first time. But soon, he committed suicide!" Luo Yuanpei shook his head. He was the person who had experienced that incident, so he naturally knew the feeling: "No one knew why he committed suicide, and he had no reason to commit suicide. When he committed suicide, he was even watching the videotape of "God of Gambling" filmed with him as a model. It was really confusing!"
"Snatching the God's Hand committed suicide. The global gambling world was shocked. At first, he thought he was forced by a casino that had a grudge against him. At that time, professional gamblers around the world angrily launched an attack on the casino, but the investigation results showed that the God's Hand committed suicide. He had no financial problems and even left tens of millions of dollars in property. He wanted to say that he was in love, but no one had ever seen him be with any woman!" Luo Yuanpei sighed: "I really don't understand. Until now, no one knows why!"
"At that time, he was really amazing. He had not joined any casinos and still won the respect of everyone with his superb gambling skills." Speaking of this, Luo Yuanpei paused slightly: "Even the two top experts who were always pressing on his head at the beginning admitted that if Lin Ruiyun received the same exquisite training as them, he could be better than them!"
"Every casino wherever you go to the God-Snatching Hand, you will willingly hand over the tribute money. With this power, it is a height that no one in the next generation can reach. Even Xiao Yang, who is known as the fastest Chinese, even Han Jianli, an American Chinese expert who ranks higher than Xiao Yang, will not receive such treatment."
