Chapter 32: Figure

In the second game, Cui Ming showed four two's, a four-of-kind.

In the end, because Li Qing had not won even once. After Cui Ming rounded up, Li Qing needed to do 2,000 push-ups. Then, Cui Ming was shocked. Li Qing took ten minutes to do two thousand push-ups as quick as lightning, and each action was extremely standard. The most awesome point was that he didn't gasp for breath after that.

In the third game, Li Qing said: “Junior brother, we play so boringly.”

“It's because you can't cheat better than me, isn't it?”

Li Qing was silent for a few seconds, and nodded: “Yes.” Li Qing was aware of his own cards and Cui Ming's cards, but could not stand Cui Ming, who would change cards.

So the two started the game in a fair and open manner. Li Qing played cards very slowly. After Cui Ming became serious, he thought carefully before making a move.  Not counting the aura and cheating, the card itself was an intellectual game.

This was the point where Cui Ming liked Li Qing the most. Ding Ze, although he had the brains, was too lazy to use it. For him, it did not matter what the outcome was, as long as there was no need to use his brain to play. Playing cards with him would become very boring. However, Li Qing was very serious. He calculated the cards as much as possible. Although Cui Ming was the king of Poker, he did not dare to relax. The gamer must have a desire for victory; otherwise, the game would become uninteresting. Just as playing mahjong, although you could play without thinking, but everyone still focus because they hoped that they could win.

When Evelyn and North Luna arrived, Li Qing was playing cards with Cui Ming…

“20 push-ups.”

“Bet, Raise 30.”

“Bet, Raise 30.”

“Junior brother, you are bluffing.”

“Senior brother, give up.”

Evelyn looked at the North Luna. When  North Luna looked puzzled, the seven cultivators at Dawn City knew of course. North Luna needed manpower to partic.i.p.ate in Aura Alliance's a.s.sessment and Evelyn needed cultivators to help maintain the city's law and order in the beginning of the month. They had both sought Li Qing, but he told them he was a hermit and had no interest. At the time of speaking, the att.i.tude was very peaceful, so Evelyn and North Luna always thought that Li Qing was a monk and rarely bothered Li Qing.

Today, at the very first glance, Li Qing's image of a monk was completely destroyed, as not only did he gamble, but he was very serious about it. He and Cui Ming were both in the realm of forgetting the outside world. Six cards had been dealt, and each card had already come out with two bets. Li Qing's revealed card was a pair of aces, and Cui Ming's revealed cards were the three of hearts and the ten of hearts.
