Pokémon: Master System.

As expected, after seeing Xia Yu and the man hesitate for a long time, Fukuyama finally chose to go all in after much deliberation.

Chapter 377 The Sun Stone

With all three present, and after everyone had placed their bets, the final showdown began.

The first man to reveal his cards was another man besides Xia Yu and Fu Shan. He turned over his hole cards first, revealing the 6 and 7 that Xia Yu had seen at the beginning. His hand also formed a straight with the 3, 4, and 5 in the community cards.

】

.

This hand allowed Fukuyama to breathe a sigh of relief; his full house was bigger, and now as long as his hand was bigger than Xia Yu's, he could win all the chips.

Fukuyama looked nervously at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu seemed to sense Fukuyama's gaze, suddenly turned to look at Fukuyama, and the corners of his mouth under the mask turned up slightly.

Is he laughing?

Fukuyama was startled and instinctively felt uneasy. He looked nervously at Xia Yu, who suddenly said, "Are you praying that my hand will be a straight?"

How does he know?

However, to Fukuyama's astonishment, Xia Yu revealed his trump card.

One against five!

Upon seeing the two cards, Fukuyama and the other man's faces turned ashen. The most devastating moment for a gambler is the instant the cards are revealed.

This result caused a gasp of surprise from the crowd. Fukuyama, enraged, threw out his trump card and got up to leave.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Xia Yu had won the bet!

After clearing out the other two players' chips and taking the coin from Suo Cai Ling, Xia Yu had qualified for the second round of the game, and there was no need for him to continue gambling.

The other two also left the gambling table.

Xia Yu also got up at this time. There was still about an hour left before the second round of gambling began, so he could take a good rest.

Xia Yu stretched lazily. Unlike the excitement of others, knowing in advance that he was bound to win made the betting less fun. Five hours of continuous fighting also made Xia Yu a little tired, and he couldn't help but yawn.

Just then, a fragrant breeze wafted by, and Helen quickly walked to Xia Yu's side, giving him a big hug and kissing him on the cheek.

"You've got a great win! We're rich!" Helen was overjoyed to see Xia Yu win so many chips at once. She had become rich overnight with just this one Money-Gathering Coin!

"What are you doing?" Xia Yu, realizing what was happening, pushed Helen away and glanced furtively in the direction of the organizers. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Wanyu was not there.

“This is a reward for you. You’re absolutely amazing,” Helen’s voice rang out. “We can split the money now. You can give me my ten million.”

"I'm warning you, don't do that to me, or you'll lose half your money."

"Xu...this isn't fair. This is to celebrate our sudden wealth. Give me my chips now."

"Take it, and don't bother me." Xia Yu naturally kept his promise and handed over the chips that Helen was entitled to.

"Bye-bye, see you again sometime." After receiving the chips, Helen smiled and waved to Xia Yu, then turned and walked towards the staff: "I'll come to China to see you when I have time!"

She excitedly exchanged her chips for cash and chose to withdraw from the game.

Next, she only needs to relax and enjoy herself on the cruise ship, wait for it to dock, and then she can take this large sum of money and fly away to enjoy a wonderful life.

In high spirits, Helen strode out of the top-floor casino with an air of nonchalance.

…………

After Helen left, Xia Yu sat on the sofa, eating the buffet provided by the casino while reading the newspaper and patiently waiting for the first round of gambling to end.

However, Xia Yu did not rest for long before he was interrupted by someone.

"Hey."

Xia Yu frowned and looked up, only to see a flower mask.

The familiar mask belonged to Chi Hanxiao, who had lost all her bets in the first round of gambling. Clearly, she was unwilling to go back like that, so she specifically sought out Xia Yu, hoping to win back her losses.

"What is it?" Xia Yu frowned and looked at Chi Hanxiao. She didn't like the tone of her voice.

"Let's gamble again." Chi Hanxiao looked at Xia Yu, his eyes filled with the greed unique to gamblers, and said, "I'll use this to gamble for you."

As Chi Hanxiao spoke, she took off the necklace from her neck and handed it to Xia Yu: "This is an S-grade Sun Stone."

Xia Yu's gaze swept over Chi Hanxiao's necklace.

【Sun Stone】: S-rank, an evolution stone that can be used on some Grass-type Pokémon to evolve and improve their potential.

It really is an S-rank Sun Stone, capable of evolving five Pokémon.

Use it on Gloom to evolve it into Bellossom.

Use it on a Sunflower Seed to evolve it into a Sunflower.

Use it on the cotton ball to evolve it into a wind sprite.

Use it on the Lily Root Doll to evolve it into Miss Skirt.

Use it on the Electric Frilled Lizard to evolve it into the Electric Frilled Lizard.

…………

"Sure, how do we bet?" Xia Yu naturally wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity that was offered to him.

"Shall we continue playing Texas Hold'em?" Chi Hanxiao asked Xia Yu.

"Of course." Xia Yu smiled; he didn't care what he bet on.

…………

ten minutes later.

Xia Yu accepted Chi Hanxiao's necklace with satisfaction, and obtained an S-grade Sun Stone.

"Want to gamble again?" Xia Yu asked with a smile, looking at Chi Hanxiao. Chi Hanxiao was clearly blinded by her losses, and only came to her senses after losing the necklace: "You have no more chips left."

Looking at the necklace in Xia Yu's hand, Chi Hanxiao finally came to her senses. She had unknowingly lost so many chips.

The chips she had lost earlier were alright, but this necklace held special meaning for her. Now that she had even lost this necklace, she was naturally filled with regret.

"The first round ends in ten minutes. It seems you've run out of chips. I have to go." Xia Yu smiled at Chi Hanxiao and said, "Thank you for the Sun Stone. I really like it."

"I..." Xia Yu's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Chi Hanxiao, who was already blinded by defeat, feel even more upset.

With red eyes, she looked at Xia Yu, gritted her teeth, and said, "I don't have anything else on me. Lend me some chips for one more gamble. I'll have someone pay you back as soon as I get off the ship."

"Borrow?" Xia Yu shook his head; he wouldn't be foolish enough to agree.

Who knows if Chi Hanxiao's identity is fake? What if he borrows money and runs away?

"Sorry, I can't lend it to you." Xia Yu shook his head and got up to leave.

"you……"

Chi Hanxiao wanted to say something more, but found that Xia Yu had already turned and left.

"Hey, leave me your contact information, I'll buy my necklace back."

…………

The first round of betting ended quickly, and the twelve people who held the most coins of the "Soul of Fortune" successfully entered the second round. Other losers who still had extra "Soul of Fortune" coins would have their coins forcibly taken back by the organizers at a 1:1 ratio.

Therefore, almost everyone who owns a Lucky Charm coin will choose to sell it to other contestants at a high price before the end of the first round, at a ratio of 1:2 or 1:3.

After entering the second round, the remaining twelve players can choose whether to continue the competition or directly exchange their Suocailing coins and chips for cash and withdraw from the competition.

After asking around, eight people chose to withdraw from the competition, leaving only four people actually participating in the betting, which is a common occurrence.

After all, only one person can win all 999 coins of the Money-Gathering Spirit; the others are just there to make up the numbers. It's better to grab a quick buck and leave.

The eight players who voluntarily withdrew had one more right than the players eliminated in the first round: they could be ranked according to the number of Fortune Coins they had, from highest to lowest, and could use their chips and Fortune Coins to exchange for other players' collateral in order.

It is precisely because of this privilege that these people are scrambling to get into the top twelve.

However, they can only redeem their collateral after the second round ends and the final winner is determined.

Xia Yu naturally chose to continue participating. His purpose in coming here was to win the near-Queen-level Ditto mask, and only the person who won the final bet had the priority to exchange chips for the contestants' collateral.

The second round of betting also used a randomized format, with opponents and betting methods determined by random draw.

Xia Yu glanced at the last three opponents, all of whom were foreigners.

One of them was the tall, white man who had introduced Saifuru to Xia Yu at the beginning. When Xia Yu looked at him, the man seemed to sense it and turned to look at Xia Yu as well.

She nodded slightly, as if greeting Xia Yu.

Apart from the white man, Xia Yu didn't recognize either of the other two.

As a result of the final draw, Xia Yu was matched against a portly white man.

After randomly assigning opponents, the gambling method was randomly selected again.

The other group drew the dice section—guessing high or low.

The gambling method that Xia Yu and his group drew was completely unexpected.

Free Zone - Roulette of Death.

When the result was drawn, both the white man and Xia Yu frowned.

Roulette of Death is one of the most classic and cruelest games.
