90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Lin Luping participated in a gambling game that had just become popular in the local rural areas, blackjack.

The dealer gives each participant two playing cards, and the game is usually played by 2 to 5 people, using 4 decks of poker with 208 cards excluding the big and small jokers.

Before the third card is dealt, gamblers will place bets at this time. The gambler's goal is to make the sum of the points of the cards in his hand not exceed 21 points and as large as possible.

The dealer will deal the third card only after all gamblers have placed their bets.

At this time, if the cards in the gambler's hand exceed 21 points, or are smaller than the dealer's cards, he loses.

If you win, you can take a 1:1 ratio of your bet amount from the prize pool. If you lose, the dealer will take your bet amount.

Of course, you can also shout "double" when placing a bet, so you can get double the amount when you win, and make up for it when you lose.

During the game, the player needs to decide whether to take a card, stop a card or double the card based on the points in his hand, while the dealer needs to operate according to certain rules.

Ultimately, the winner is determined by comparing the points.

It was the first time for Lin Luping to participate in such a game, and she found it very exciting. At that time, her monthly salary was 680 yuan, which was considered a middle income in the local area.

At the gambling table, the minimum bet for one seat is ten yuan, and the minimum bet for other onlookers is five yuan.

Gamblers who do not have a seat can only place bets blindly, that is, before the cards are dealt.

Zhang Na urged Lin Luping to follow the person with the best luck in placing bets. The noise around her and the smell of tobacco intertwined to form a unique atmosphere that made her feel both unfamiliar and inexplicably excited.

"Lu Ping, look over there. Brother Li is having a good time today. You can't go wrong if you follow him in placing your bet!" Zhang Na pointed excitedly at a middle-aged man with a smug look on his face standing next to the gambling table. There was already a lot of money piled up in front of him. He was obviously one of the winners tonight.

Lin Luping hesitated for a moment, looking at the dozens of yuan bills tightly clenched in her hand. That was her pocket money from a month's hard work. Her usual income was given to Xie Jianhua for unified management.

But at this moment, the excitement and possible huge rewards at the gambling table attracted her like a magnet, making it difficult for her to extricate herself.

"Okay, I'll follow Brother Li's bet and try my luck." Lin Luping gritted her teeth and decided to take this step.

She carefully placed the money in front of Brother Li's card table, silently praying for good luck.

As the cards in the dealer's hand were turned over one by one, the atmosphere at the gambling table became increasingly tense.

Every time someone busts or wins a round, there's a cheer or a sigh.

Lin Luping's heartbeat quickened with each card deal. She nervously observed the changes in the cards, trying to find patterns in the dealer's dealings.

There are never absolute rules in the world of gambling.

After a few rounds, Lin Luping discovered that although she followed Brother Li in placing bets, the wins and losses did not seem to be completely under his control.

Sometimes, Brother Li would lose, and the money she bet would disappear quietly on the gambling table.

"Double it!" In a situation that seemed like a sure win, Lin Luping finally couldn't hold back her inner impulse and decided to take a risk.

She waited nervously for the third card to be revealed, feeling both excited and afraid.

When the third card was slowly revealed, a glint of disbelief flashed in Lin Luping's eyes.

It was a J, a key card that was enough to bring Brother Li's points close to 21.

She held her breath and looked nervously at the cards in the dealer's hand. She saw the dealer slowly turn over the cards, and it turned out to be an inconspicuous 7. The cards on the table were 18 points.

"We won!" Lin Luping almost shouted out loud, the excitement in her heart was beyond words.

She clenched her fists tightly, and sweat beads appeared on her palms. At this moment, all the tension and anxiety turned into the joy of victory.

The crowd around her burst into cheers, some people patted her shoulders to congratulate her, and a bright smile broke out on Lin Luping's face.

She won double the bet, and those small pieces of paper money that were originally just a slim hope now doubled in an instant before her eyes.

"It's so exciting!" Lin Luping murmured to herself, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.

She looked at Zhang Na, who was looking at her with envy and pushing her with a smile: "See, I told you you can do it."

That night, Lin Luping's luck was exceptionally good. In almost every round, she could accurately judge when to ask for a card and when to stop playing. She even doubled her bets several times and received generous returns.

She even sat at the card table herself. The banknotes on her table piled higher and higher, attracting the attention and discussion of more gamblers around her.

Some of the old gamblers began to whisper, discussing how this newbie had become a star at the gaming table overnight.

"This little girl is so lucky!"

"Yeah, it seems like she stole the limelight tonight."

Although Lin Luping listened to these discussions, she felt even more proud.

Although she knew that there were no permanent winners in the gambling field, today's victory might be tomorrow's trap.

But this rare feeling of victory made it hard for her to let go, as if she was being pulled by an invisible force to continue playing one game after another.

Zhang Na was even more excited. She almost became the captain of Lin Luping's cheerleading squad. Whenever Lin Luping won a card, she was always the first to jump up and cheer, as if she had won something too.

As the night grew deeper, the atmosphere at the gambling table began to become subtle.

Some gamblers who originally had good intentions towards Lin Luping began to look unhappy because of their continuous losses, and some even began to suspect that Lin Luping was cheating.

Lin Luping knew in her heart that she was playing entirely by luck and intuition, so she puffed out her chest and pulled in her stomach to show off her strength.

"Lu Ping, why don't we quit while we're ahead?" Zhang Na noticed the unfriendly looks from the gamblers around her and whispered a suggestion in her ear.

Lin Luping hesitated for a moment, looked at the mountain of banknotes in front of her, and then looked at the envious or jealous eyes around her, feeling reluctant to leave.

Finally, she took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay, this is the last round. Win or lose, we're leaving."

In the last round, Lin Luping seemed particularly cautious.

She carefully observed the cards, calculating the possible risks and benefits of each card.

When the dealer dealt the second card, Lin Luping's hand remained steady at 20 points, a safe and competitive score. She looked around, and the atmosphere at the gambling table became more tense because of her advantage.

In comparison, the dealer's hand of 16 points seemed slightly inferior, causing many onlookers to secretly worry for Lin Luping.

Lin Luping did not ask for any more cards. She folded her hands lightly on the table, her eyes revealing an indescribable confidence and calmness.

She had already foreseen the dawn of victory and was quietly waiting for the dealer's next move. Her calmness attracted the attention of the entire gambling table.
