“Yes, matriarch.”

No matter how you look at the gaze of the party head, it did not look friendly. what? Is it suppressing the momentum? The eyes look too angry for something like that.

“Pungyeong Daeju.”

A middle-aged warrior sitting next to the head of the family quickly laid out the table. To me, it was a familiar dice, goal, wooden mug, etc.

“Let’s play one game first.”

“You mean me and the matriarch?”

No, you suddenly start gambling as soon as you see his face? And with the head of the Tang family?

It was a time when I couldn’t come to my senses due to the gambling drift that suddenly turned into a gamble in the Gaju match, which I had entered with my heart puffed out thinking of a huge reward.

[Listen without making a show.]

A sound came to my ears.

“That’s right! I asked you to call the person among my Sichuan ronin who is the best at gambling, so shouldn’t I test his qualifications?”

I don’t know the circumstances, but since there was no reason to go up to the head of the party and refuse to play at the gambling table, where fire was almost pouring out of his eyes, I sat down and listened to the phone call.

[In Dangata, people often gamble with memorization or possession of poison. But these days, Do-kyung is undefeated, wondering where he learned how to gamble? So the head of the family took a gamble with Do-kyung to stop him. You can tell the result by looking at the look in the matriarch’s eyes right now, right?]

No, Tang Do-gyeong became that good at gambling?

I knew that learning ability is maximized during enlightenment, but it is surprising that it has developed to the point where it even robs people of the Tang family. It is true that I taught Dan Do-kyung the gambling techniques, but I simply showed him the movements repeatedly without explaining any principles.

By the way, what on earth did this bastard Dang Do-kyung do? Are you clueless? Did you steal the matriarch’s memorization at a gambling table?

“Then..I’ll spare you the shame and show you my skills.”

Although my mind wasn’t clear, I was certain that this was a place where I had to show my full potential. Hiding your true feelings in the first place was also discovered by Tang Do-kyung, so there was no way it would get through to the Tang family head. The reason I was summoned to the Tang family is because they seem to have invited someone who is better at gambling than Tang Dao-gyeong.

First, I played a few short [double cards] with the goal cards. It is a game similar to modern blackjack, where you have to match the number 21 with two cards. Considering that it has a genealogy, it could be a mixed gambling game between Seotda and Blackjack.

In this martial arts world where there are no poker cards, there was nothing better than a pair of cards to test basic gambling skills.

Although it was only a few rounds, Dang Ga-ju’s gambling skills, which were glimpsed, were stronger than expected. If it’s this much jjambap, you can’t get away with it no matter how good your Dando-gyeong skills are, right?

I’ve said this many times before, but no matter how good a gambling god it is, it’s impossible to win 100% of the time. A 100% winning rate is possible not only if you are good at it but also if your opponent is bad at it.

“Keuhum. Time is running out for long-term gambling.”

He seems like a hot-tempered guy. I immediately put down my goal card because I was told that formal gambling was okay and that I should just show my gambling skills.

The gamble that the head of the family wanted seemed like it would be a bit of a gamble, so I picked up the glass.

“There are 4 glasses. There are 2 dice. Do you agree?”

“Hmm, I think you are at a bit of a disadvantage.”

It is not a little, but a lot of unfavorable conditions. If there are two dice, the route becomes ridiculously complicated. In reality, it had to be seen that the difficulty level was more than 4 times different.

“Haha, even though I am an expert in gambling techniques, this would be appropriate.”

Tang Gaju’s eyebrows twitched. Gambling is not just about dexterity. To Dan Do-gyeong, he only used dexterity because he wanted to lose, but in fact, gambling skills are designed to coordinate all the important elements for gambling.

Shaking the other person’s concentration is just the basic of basics.

So we proceeded with the gamble, using simple psychological warfare.

And before long, all the fake money that had been lying in front of the head of the family was piled up on my side.

“Huh…”

Dang Gwang-ryeol, the head of the Dang family, looked at me with incomprehensible eyes.

From the head of the family, it seemed like that.

Definitely Dangaju’s technique was the best among all the martial artists I had experienced. He followed everything with his eyes, even to the point where he wondered if this would follow suit.

If you are a regular gambler, it would be quite difficult to gamble against Tang Ga-in. It is standard to use techniques in the dark, in the blind spot of perception, without even a rat or bird knowing, and Dangga’s eye techniques and martial arts techniques are specialized in capturing such things.

However, through gambling with the head of the Tang family, I understood why Tang Dao-gyeong robbed all of the gamblers in the Tang family, including the head of the Tang family.

These guys were no different from the early Tang Dao-gyeong!

Those who have martial arts omnipotence buried deep in their bones!

No, no matter how much you practice martial arts and eye techniques, what will you do? Even if the eye captures objects at 16k resolution and 300 frames, the point is the same: objects cannot be seen in blind spots. No matter how good your eye performance is, you cannot escape from optical illusions.

Has magic tricked people by moving so fast that their hands can’t be seen? No matter how hard I open my eyes, I wonder if I can see it.

The more confident Tang people were in their own techniques and techniques, the more prone they were to deception. If my eyes were bad, I would have even suspected that I might have been deceived. People who have a very strong belief in the ‘illusion’ of seeing with their eyes are the exact opposite of my gambling style.

Since I am confident in the performance of my eyes, I just have to fool my eyes and that’s it.

As for the gambling techniques used by Tang Do-gyeong, they are probably copies of the ones I use, so even if I lack the skill or psychological skills, I think I just brushed them all off through compatibility.

“Are you still lacking?”

Should I just hit the last blow? He unfolded the glass that had taken Tang Tao-gyeong’s blood jade secretion. Is it different this time in that I opened two glasses with one hand?

There was no need to have multiple glasses since you only had to fool one person anyway.

Dangaju held the glass with a trembling hand. Left glass. In the eyes of the party leader, it would have appeared that it had gone into the left cup and had fallen over.

So I chose the left glass. However, the head of the party probably knows this from his experience so far. Since the results he saw with his own eyes have been wrong so far, he will be wrong this time too.

I gestured with my hand and poured a glass of wine, and the winemaker closed his eyes tightly and opened the glass.

“Huh..!”

Of course the glass was empty.

“I lost.”

“He showed off a humble talent.”

The head of the party stood up and waved his arms as if he had decided on something. I also had no choice but to quickly stand up and give him a hug. In martial arts circles, if you do something, it looks like you are giving power, so its meaning is sometimes faded, but in fact, this is the highest meaning among all manners that can be shown in general.

“Teacher, I’m sorry for testing you! But please forgive me for having no choice but to check because the matter was so important!”

Is it serious? Without realizing it, I stared at Dang Ga-ju, and Dang Ga-ju’s presbyopia was burning brightly.

It seemed like there was something going on in the party related to gambling. At most, I thought it was just a matter of memorization being stolen by Dang Do-gyeong.

Yes, no matter how much the party head was robbed by the party leader, the cause-and-effect relationship is a bit strange for him to call me. If you’ve been robbed, you’ve been robbed. Is there anything that can be solved by calling me?

Of course, it would be a shame if the head of the family was robbed by Dang Do-gyeong through gambling. But it’s not enough to call it a serious matter.

Even if Tang Dao-gyeong has a lot of memorization, it is really not a big problem. After all, isn’t Tang Do-gyeong also from the Tang family? It’s not like I, an outsider, can take away memorization through a bet with the Dando Sutra. Since we are from the same party, we make bets using secret memorization or poison, and there is no way we can do that with outsiders.

“Teacher, can you help me?”

“Heh heh, so what should I do?”

“It’s that simple!”

Dangaju said.

“Teach me how to gamble!”

“….Yes?”

For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong. However, seeing as Dang Gwang-ryeol’s face was red, it seemed like he had not heard wrongly.

“Huh, heh heh…it’s kind of embarrassing to talk about.”

Seeing Dang Gwang-ryeol smiling so hard made me come to my senses. I still didn’t understand the situation, but what should I do with this atmosphere?

Seeing that the elder was showing his embarrassment, my instinct to flatter, or rather my true tendency as a member of society, stirred. Although the situation is a bit strange, isn’t it a situation where we are together with the head of the Tang family?

If you were the head of the Tang family, you were originally a person who should be looked up to with great respect.

As a descendant of the country of courtesy in the East, how could you only see your elders feeling embarrassed!

In this situation, it was time to use wit and wit to revamp the atmosphere.

“Hahaha, it looks like you tried to memorize the head of the family to Dan Do-kyung and lost it!”

“….”

“Hahahahaha!”

Dear Lord, now is the time to smile. I laughed exaggeratedly to lighten the mood, but…

“…Ha…Haha…”

Tang Gwang-ryeol did not smile at all.

“No…really?”

Dang Gwang-ryeol slightly averted his gaze in response to my question. When I looked toward the Great Lord Fungyeong to ask for help, the Great Master Fungyeong also slightly averted his gaze.

“Oh…”

After the words that came out of my mouth, I don’t know whether it was a groan or an exclamation, there was only an extreme silence left in Daejeon.

When Dang Gwang-ryeol could not bear to open his mouth, Great Lord Pung Yeong came forward.

“The matriarch just made a mistake. The head of the house also got excited because he was gambling for the first time in a long time, and the fight with Do-kyung became intense…”

“Hehehehehehe. I see.”

Although it was a situation that made me laugh, it was actually a familiar situation to me.

While visiting gambling halls over the years, have you seen one or two people who have been devastated? I have seen countless people pay a heavy price for momentarily losing their senses.

This is the magic of gambling.

Of course, that didn’t mean the way people looked at Dang Gwang-ryeol was the same as before.

“…It wasn’t intentional. I was just trying to make up for it by playing one big game at the end, but I stopped… There was a bit of family memorization mixed in among those memorization books.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol must have felt that my gaze had changed, and he hesitated and made excuses. Well, in the end, it was the typical loser’s protest that he lost his temper and took a big bet, then gambled in a gambling table and lost violently.

“Sseu-eup, I understand the situation.”

In fact, this body is Hocheonan.

There is a fact that I am proud of.

The point is that other people have been engaging in activities to enjoy gambling in a healthy way.

First of all, I was also a professional who rescued gamblers who had lost money in gambling and were about to jump into the Yangtze River. Anyway, I have to get rid of all the money I brought with me. It feels like the right thing to do is to lose it to those who are desperate.

Most of them were severely addicted to gambling, and even if I gave them disaster relief funds, they would visit gambling halls again and donate their wealth. However, there were some who regained their senses and were thankful for the luck that came at the end.

That wasn’t my only activity.

On days when there were no high-level gamblers capable of gambling, he would catch those who were trying to gamble clumsily and personally teach them.

What if they fool you throughout the game with flashy gambling techniques and make you realize how dangerous gambling is, and then lose at the end? The other person gains a false realization that gambling is not just about skill, but also how important luck is.

When people show their true gambling skills and experience even gamblers losing money, most people wake up from the fantasy that gambling gives them and face reality.

After going through that process, some friends lose confidence in gambling and return to society, or others realize the problem and continue to pursue a healthy hobby by gambling small amounts.

A sense of accomplishment in rescuing the head of a family with a bear-like wife and raccoon-like children!

My own little collaboration unfolding in a gambling hall.

It’s been a while since I met someone that made my blood boil.

“Sound Gambling!”

“…Hey Ronin?”

Dang Gwang-ryeol, a severely angry person who loses his temper at the gambling table and even memorizes the head of the household! What Dang Gwang-ryeol lacked was not just gambling skills! Attitude towards gambling! The attitude toward gambling! Lack of awareness of the dangers of gambling!

“The head of the family has rotted from the very beginning! Healthy gambling is the way to build a healthy family! Be prepared! I will completely reform you to the core!”

Ho Cheon-an as a ‘sound gambling enforcement team’ awakens.
