*** ***

Ten days have already passed since Ho Cheon-an and his party stayed at Dangga.

“Hmm.”

Wei Seolyeon sat down on the mat and looked around. Although there was a fair amount of sunlight, it was blocked by buildings on all sides, so it was quite a quiet place.

“I heard that the entire Dangga was newly built, so I’m surprised that a place like this exists.”

“Hehe, right?”

Wei Seo-ryeon smiled slightly as she looked at Ryeo-ah, who looked proud of her praise. Seeing their happy faces made me feel rewarded for slowly meeting each other face to face and breaking down the walls in my heart.

Wei Seo-ryeon took a bite of the rice ball that Ryeo-ah recommended and patted the back of Seo-gong, who was munching on Yeongcho next to her.

“Yesterday, I heard the rough sound of horses’ hooves and Doyeon Sojeo’s laughter. It looks like the repairs to the raincoat are coming to an end.”

“I was hoping it wouldn’t be fixed…”

“Hehe, Doyeon Sojeo must be watching that.”

The atmosphere makes you feel at ease, the cute girl and Seogong’s fur that boasts a special texture, and even the sounds of conversation between Hocheonan and his companions as they chat about various things.

It was truly rest itself.

Wei Seo-ryeon, intoxicated by such rest, leisurely answered the questions of Ryeo, who was curious about the group called the Heavenly Demon God Church, intervened in the conversation of Ho Cheon-an and his group, and looked at Seo Gong dozing off and then looked up at the sky.

“It’s almost time.”

Wei Shulian’s words were a bit unexpected, but everyone present understood what Wei Shulian was saying.

This probably means that it is time to go to the gambling house to compete with the Tang clan.

“Now that I think about it, how are your battle records these days?”

In response to Black Cat’s question, Wei Seo-ryeon recalled the gambling match with the Tang clan.

If Wiseo-ryeon won one day, the Tang clan would win the next day, and the result was currently 5 to 4. Wiseo-ryun was one win ahead.

“If we don’t lose today, we can strengthen our chances of winning.”

After leaving that answer, Wei Seo-ryeon walked towards the Tang family’s gambling house.

Wei Seo-ryeon’s heart was already pounding with anticipation as she entered the now familiar road to the gambling house.

The Tang clans, who achieved victory by suppressing Wei Shu-lian with overwhelming skill, faced Wei Shu-lian in the same way the next day, but the results were not good.

It was not possible to easily overwhelm Wei Xiolian with his eyes on psychological warfare, and the quality of the techniques prepared was not enough to stop Wei Shulian.

I knew that the gamble with Wi Seo-ryeon would inevitably end, so I gave everything, but the match was extended unexpectedly, which was due to insufficient preparation.

After that, he worked hard and won another round, but the next day he was in a situation where he had to lose another round, so from then on, the Tang family realized that it was impossible to just use advanced techniques to beat Wei Shulian.

Wi Seo-ryeon was only focused on destroying the Tang clan’s techniques.

And the Tang clans who only kept Wi Seo-ryeon’s talent in check.

Instead of taking easy shortcuts, people began to push their skills to the limit every day.

So, out of the nine matches I competed in, I won five, and today, I was facing the tenth match.

Wei Seo-ryeon grabbed the doorknob of the gambling hall and thought about her recent history. The total record itself is almost 5 wins and 4 losses.

It could have been a close match, but the party must have been sharpening its blade for revenge as it had suffered two consecutive losses until yesterday.

Wei Seo-ryeon also couldn’t sleep at night because she was so angry on the day she lost in a row.

The party members must have been preparing countermeasures all night long.

Wi Seo-ryeon was really looking forward to what measures the Tang clan would come up with.

Wei Seo-ryeon smiled expectantly and forcefully opened the door to the gambling house, her face hardening for the rare occasion.

“Welcome.”

A gambling den where there was always a battle between Tang clans and Wei Seoryeon.

This was because Dang Do-gyeong was sitting at the gambling table.

Dandogyeong!

Wiseo-ryeon’s friendship could not be said to be wide, but even Wiseo-ryeon heard about Tang Dao-gyeong through various channels.

The rumor is that it is not a martial arts figure named Dang Do-gyeong, a fighting dog, but a gambler named Dang Do-gyeong.

As soon as I appeared at the gambling table, I put all the memorized Tang songs into my pocket.

At this young age, he already has the same gambling skills as the head of the family.

It is said that his gambling skills reach the sky and he enjoys playing games with the old man.

Also, what was the evaluation of the black cat?

There are quite a few people who learned gambling from Ho Cheon-an, but among them, he is the closest to Ho Cheon-an’s disciple.

A strong man who would not be surprised to be called the best gambler in the country even without considering the distribution of martial arts or even the distribution.

Since that person was none other than Tang Dao-gyeong, even the world’s Wei Seo-ryeon had no choice but to be very nervous.

“Are you my partner today?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“Hmm. What kind of wind suddenly blew?”

Wei Seo-ryeon’s question was not for nothing.

What is the reason for Tang Dao-gyeong, who has the best ability among the Tang clans to deal with Wei Seo-ryeon in terms of distribution, to step forward?

The party felt the need to end this gambling match.

To Wei Seo-ryeon, the appearance of Tang Dao-gyeong could not help but feel that way.

“Because we cannot leave the memorization of Tang songs in the hands of outsiders forever. So today, I would like to put all of the party’s secret memorization skills on the line.”

It’s already been 10 days since the memorization came and went, so it’s only now.

Wei Seo-ryeon felt like Tang Dao-gyeong’s answer was a good excuse, but she didn’t bother to question it.

I was just taken aback by the completely unexpected situation, and I didn’t want to shy away from a confrontation with Tang Do-kyung.

“Good! What is the sport?”

“This is a goal card.”

“Hmm. I heard that your specialty is rock.”

“That’s right.”

Tang Tao-gyeong did not deny it.

“Still, I just thought that goal betting was appropriate to decide the winner.”

Wei Seo-ryeon’s eyebrows twitched.

You are just an easy opponent who doesn’t need to show any sincerity in the main event.

That’s how Tang Tao-gyeong’s words sounded to Wi Seo-ryeon.

“I will make you regret those words.”

With a fierce smile spreading across Wei Seo-ryeon’s lips, the two people’s gambling began.

In the beginning, there is no information about the hand.

Wi Seo-ryeon threw a household appliance to check Tang Dao-gyeong’s tendencies.

“I’ll bet two.”

“I’m dying.”

“I’ll bet three.”

“I’m dying.”

Wei Seo-ryeon’s heart became heavy at Tang Dao-gyeong’s attitude of calmly giving up the game. What can I say, this was exactly Ho Cheon-an’s preferred method.

Ho Cheon-an showed a tendency to value ‘information’ more than anyone else in the gambling world.

What technology do you use, what psychology or what opportunities do you aim for?

They forced the other party into a situation where they had to place a stake in order to obtain information, and conversely, in a situation where they had to hide or distort their own information, they did not care even if the stake was high.

If an opportunity came to sell information, even if it was a high price or even a reasonable price, most gamblers would sell it without hesitation, which was a characteristic of Hocheonan, in complete contrast to other gamblers, and this characteristic of Hocheonan was strongly reflected in Dang Do-gyeong’s choice now. .

That alone made Wei Shulian feel a strong psychological pressure.

This was because he was keenly aware of the gap between himself and Ho Cheon-an, as he had enjoyed a lot of gambling with Ho Cheon-an.

The rotation continued.

As the seven rounds passed and the numbers on the cards began to be revealed one by one, Wei Seo-ryeon’s mind was on the verge of exploding. I had to remember in my head the location of the tiles with known numbers, and I had to figure out exactly how the tiles changed each time Tang Do-gyeong’s hand moved.

I couldn’t boast that I had figured out 100 percent of Tang Dao-gyeong’s movements, so I had no choice but to keep all the doubtful branches in my mind and think about the number of cases, and the branches of possibility that stretched out like that had already filled my mind for a long time.

Have you figured out the state of such a state of disrepair?

As soon as Tang Do-gyeong finished shuffling his cards, he bet heavily.

“I’ll bet three.”

Dando-gyeong comes out strong from the start. Wei Seo-ryeon looked at Tang Dao-gyeong and diligently replayed the cards in his head. Unless I missed something, one of the cards in Tang Dao-gyeong’s hand is 33. And there is no information about the other one.

On the other hand, Wi Seo-ryeon’s hand is 10 and 20, which is equivalent to 50.

‘Probably even Tang Do-gyeong knows that I hold 20.’

10 was an unknown hand that had never been played, and the range of variables was too wide to determine the remaining hands by analogy.

The hand number 33 is the highest number among the goal cards from 2 to 33, but it is a hand that cannot increase the score through genealogy. In other words, you can only win if you have a hand of 18 or more.

Although 20 is not a high number in itself, there are various genealogies. In a situation where you still don’t know the number of hands, try to compete against 20, where you don’t know what kind of match will come out.

“I’ll take three and bet two more.”

“I also take two and bet one more.”

Wei Seo-ryeon laughed at the sight of Tang Do-gyeong following him.

If we strictly consider the odds, Tang Dao-gyeong is slightly more advantageous, but in fact, the current composition is closer to half to half. Nevertheless, Tang Do-gyeong did not hesitate to raise the stakes and followed suit.

This is Hocheonan’s method, which is familiar to Wei Seo-ryeon.

The odds of winning are not small. So, if you win, it is beneficial.

Even if you lose, you still get information.

At this point, fourteen out of thirty-two cards have been revealed. At the point when about half of the hand is revealed, it is possible to establish the extent to which Wi Seo-ryeon has understood the hand.

It is a question that cannot be left lightly without a strong belief that information is an asset equal to stake.

“I’ll bet one more and be done with it.”

Therefore, Wei Seo-ryeon also decided to understand Tang Dao-gyeong through this edition. Is interest really gambling in the same way as Hocheonan? And if he gambles like that, will he be able to treat information like a ghost like the real Ho Cheon-an?

Wei Seo-ryeon turned over the card first.

Tang Dao-gyeong, who saw the combination of 20 and 10, did not waver in the slightest.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding.”

All he did was open his mouth and pick up the card. Wi Seo-ryeon listened to Tang Dao-gyeong’s words with his ears and followed the cards with his eyes.

Wei Seo-ryeon’s eyes widened when she saw the card.

The overturned cards were 32 and 29.

In Tang Dao-gyeong’s hand, there wasn’t even a card called 33 in the first place!

“I definitely learned gambling from Brother Ho. However, I, who am here now, am not a disciple of Ho Tian-an, but a member of the Tang family, Tang Tao-jing. That’s why I came forward to try to win the game by scoring goals rather than playing tricks.”

“Ha, I see.”

Only then did Wei Seo-ryeon realize that Tang Dao-gyeong’s true intention when he said that it was appropriate to decide the winner by a loss of goals was not an expression of confidence or arrogance. The reason Dang Do-gyeong chose the golpae was because he was the only member of the Dang clan opposing So Cheon-ma, he chose the event that was least influenced by Ho Cheon-an.

“I apologize.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

Tang Do-gyeong said calmly as he took the stake.

“The price has already been taken.”

“Hahahaha! That’s right!”

Wei Xiorian smiled brightly and thought. It is indeed as Dang Do-gyeong said.

A gambler knows how to gamble, and Wei Seo-ryeon, who lost a large amount of money due to a misunderstanding, had already paid the price.

Wei Seo-ryeon held the goal paddles and looked at Tang Dao-gyeong.

As a gambler, I wondered what it would be like to give kind advice without taking advantage of the other person’s weaknesses, but as I looked at Tang Do-kyung’s quietly burning eyes, I felt that such a tactic was not suitable for Tang Do-kyung.

The more you defeat a perfect opponent, the higher the value of victory becomes. A look in your eyes that leaves no doubt.

Seeing his burning fighting spirit, Wei Seo-ryeon realized once again that Tang Dao-gyeong’s nickname was fighting dogs.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!!

Wi Seo-ryeon’s hand movements as she shuffled the goal cards became dazzling.

How can I remain silent after meeting someone like that? I will show more than my best and achieve victory with Tang Do-gyeong’s recognition!

Wei Seo-ryeon’s heart was on fire, and her heightened feelings were revealed through her hand movements.

The match was on fire.

“I will buy three home appliances.”

“I’m dying.”

As the ship progressed, psychological warfare and techniques became more intense than ever.

The party members who were watching swallowed their saliva as they looked at the scene. Since Wei Seo-ryeon and Tang Dao-gyeong did not hesitate to pour out their best in every turn, the Tang clans who were watching could not let down their tension to understand the skills going back and forth.

“Five.”

“Get three.”

“Get three.”

“Get two.”

Moreover, since they gave their best in every game, the two never backed down when they were confident about their hand.

At best, it was a game with a total of 100 appliances, and once a collision occurred, 20 or 30 appliances went back and forth in one turn, so it was not easy to predict the direction of the game, so the Tangs had no choice but to sweat their hands.

A fiery battle in which home appliances are exchanged without hesitation!

As time passed, the two people exchanged obeisance with all their might without the slightest hesitation, but antagonism could not last forever.

The situation gradually tilted towards Tang Tao Jing.

“I’ll bet three.”

“I will accept it.”

Wei Seo-ryeon’s cards were 2 and 18. And Tang Dao-gyeong’s cards were 20 and 17. Wei Seo-ryeon checked the cards and sighed inwardly. Since each other was constantly pulling out techniques, how could there be a perfect understanding of the hand?

The match had already become a slugfest for a long time, and the gamble between the two had turned into a muddy fight.

In the mud, Tang Dao-gyeong made a true hit, and Wei Seo-ryeon, who was reeling, only allowed a true hit at a disadvantage.

Now the remaining stake is at most five home appliances.

Wei Seo-ryeon bit her lip as she sensed that she had to give up the fight.

I have used all of the skills I have honed so far, as well as the new skills I learned while dealing with the Tang clan. But what on earth are you betting on?

Wei Shu-lian’s hand stayed still for a long time, but neither Tang Tao-gyeong nor the Tang family waited without urging Wei Shu-lian.

This was because he had a intuition that Wei Seo-ryeon was preparing a final move that would risk all of his remaining home appliances.

How long was Tangga’s gambling house shrouded in silence?

widely! widely!

Wei Seo-ryeon’s hands began to move.

And the Tang clans looked at Wei Seo-ryeon’s mixing of cards with wide eyes.

‘You are bold!’

‘No hiding!’

Hand movements that do not at all hide the fact that the cards are not mixed properly. It was as if the movements of his hands were speaking to the viewer.

Okay, let’s move now.

If you can see it somewhere, guess it.

Confidence bordering on arrogance. However, the hand that moved so openly was like a wall. The party members sighed at that move.

No matter how good your eyesight is, you can’t directly see what’s happening behind a big wall!

I could tell that the cards were mixed, but I couldn’t tell how they were mixed!

Tang Dao-gyeong had a hunch when he saw Wei Seo-ryeon’s numbers.

The number I am unfolding now is Hocheonan’s.

And half of that guess was true.

Ho Cheon-an, who had a gambling match with Wi Ji-cheon. Ho Cheon-an did not pass on his gambling skills to Wei Seo-ryeon, who often took Wi Ji-cheon’s side.

However, he actually did not hide his skills while gambling with Wei Shulian, and in the process, Wei Shulian was able to learn some of the techniques used by Hu Tianan, and the technique that Wei Xulian is using now is one of those techniques. .

widely!

After Ho Cheon-an’s technique, the tile went into the hands of Tang Do-gyeong and Wi Seo-ryeon.

“Basic bet, everything else.”

As expected, Wei Seo-ryeon bet all five of her remaining home appliances. All eyes of the Tang clan turned to Tang Do-gyeong. Did Tang Do-gyeong destroy this move? If you destroy it, it will follow you. If not, you will die.

Tang Dao-gyeong made a decision.

“Five. I’ll bet.”

With those words, Tang Do-gyeong revealed his card. 11 and 16. Total 27 points. The Tang clan’s complexions became clouded at the number, which was by no means high.

“Ha.”

And Wi Seo-ryeon, who saw Tang Do-gyeong’s card, let out an inexplicable sigh and turned the card over.

9 and 17. 25 points.

It was Wei Seo-ryeon’s defeat.

“Ha!”

“It was a great match! It was a great match!”

“You two are really amazing!”

The party members, who had been holding their breath for fear of interfering with the game, suddenly expressed their feelings with excitement. Wei Seo-ryeon asked a question to Tang Dao-gyeong, who was gradually being crushed by the beatings on his back by the hands of the Tang clan.

“How did you guess the last number? How did you realize that you couldn’t make a winning move?”

“The last technique used was Ho’s. Isn’t that right?”

Wei Seolyeon obediently nodded. Tang Dao-gyeong had been taught the techniques of the Hocheonan, so it would not be strange for him to recognize the techniques of the Hocheonan.

The reason why Tang Dao-gyeong used the Hocheonan technique even though he knew that he knew it well was simple. This was because it was the type of technology where even if you looked into the technology, you could not be sure of the results.

Nevertheless, Tang Dao-gyeong saw through Wei Seo-ryeon’s move, so does the law of destruction exist in this seemingly invincible technique?

Wei Seo-ryeon was curious about that.

“It’s not that I destroyed Brother Ho’s technology. In fact, I couldn’t even figure out the numbers in my hand.”

However, Tang Dao-gyeong’s answer was completely different from Wei Seo-ryeon’s expectations.

“Socheonma did his best to win every game, sparing no effort. Isn’t that right?”

“Yes.”

“I believed in Socheonma’s sincerity. If I had been able to win the game through this technique, I would have used it a long time ago. So, we decided that we couldn’t win the game with this technique. Even if the technique is Ho-hyung’s technique.”

“Ha.”

Wei Seo-ryeon exclaimed in exasperation at Tang Do-gyeong’s answer.

The Hocheonan technique that Wei Shulian stole was so clever that no one could see through it, but the range of cards that could be mixed at will was very limited. Therefore, even though Wei Seo-ryeon reproduced Ho Cheon-an’s technique, he was unable to completely obtain the hand he wanted.

He simply tried to deceive Tang Do-gyeong by using his experience in technology, but Tang Do-gyeong overcame this with his faith in Wei Seo-ryeon.

“Complete defeat, complete defeat.”

Wei Shulian had no choice but to admit his defeat.

Wei Seo-ryeon took out all the fake memorization boxes from her arms and handed them out to Tang Do-gyeong. Dang Do-gyeong opened the box and checked the memorization.

Wei Shu-ryeon looked at the scene and felt something empty in her heart. Since I have lost all my memorization of the Tang family, I will no longer be able to go to the Tang family’s gambling house. Now, the game with the Tang clan has completely come to an end.

I knew that one day I would lose and lose all my memorization and this would happen, but when the result was right in front of my eyes, it was truly bittersweet.

As I was pondering the bitterness, Dang Do-gyeong, who had finished checking the memorization, handed the fake memorization box back to Wi Seo-ryeon.

Wei Seolyeon accepted the fake memorization with a puzzled expression. Why am I returning this?

“Dangga’s gambling hall is a place where the master of Tangga memorization is determined. Isn’t that right?”

“…I heard so.”

“Then, if you have memorized the party song, there will be no problem in gambling at this gambling house with it. Isn’t that right?”

Wei Seo-ryeon blinked. As Wei Xiorian was unable to understand the situation, Mr. Han Dang stepped forward and placed the memorization box on the gambling table.

“So! Fake memorization is definitely memorization created by party members! If you look at the bragging match with the same fake memorization, there is no problem!”

“Ah.”

Only then did Wei Shu-ryeon understand the situation and looked at Mr. Tang, whose shoulders were shaking in front of him. His eyes were strangely bloodshot and he looked as if he had been up all night for some reason. Wei Seo-ryeon realized that Mr. Dang was the real opponent of the day, who had suffered a series of defeats and was unable to sleep, preparing for the match all night long.

“Now that we have collected all the advanced memorization skills and the record is 5 to 5, let’s decide the real winner!”

“Haha.”

Only then did a smile spread on Wei Seo-ryeon’s face. The Tang family members also slightly curled the corners of their mouths at Wei Seo-ryeon’s smile.

“Good. I will deal with any number of people.”

“The item is dice!”

“Go for anything.”

In an instant, the gambling hall became noisy again.

The commotion continued without stopping until late at night.
