Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

"Brother Wei, Brother Hui! Hello."

"I'm He Xi, the newcomer, playing Ren Tianchou. Please take good care of me, both of you big shots."

On set, He Xi, with his bird, politely greeted the two lead actors, Leung Chiu-wai and Leung Ka-fai.

"So you're Xi-zai! You've grown so tall and handsome! Wei-zai, you're a bit overshadowed as the lead actor!"

Liang Jiahui did not know He Xi before, but he smiled and stood up to shake hands with him.

This actor, who plays a character in movies who looks down on people who drive Mazda and throws them down a hillside in a wooden crate at the slightest provocation, is actually quite easygoing in real life.

Moreover, back then, he bravely withstood the pressure from Taiwan and even retired from acting to set up a street stall rather than admit his mistakes by filming in mainland China.

He Xi naturally had a good impression of him.

On the other hand, Leung Chiu-wai, who has recently made many comedy films and whose expressions and movements are often even more exaggerated than Stephen Chow's, seemed rather... indifferent.

And that's actually normal.

Leung Chiu-wai is an introverted, aloof, and unsociable person.

He's got all the artsy, pretentious stuff.

When I'm in a bad mood, I'll go to Europe alone to feed pigeons, and then fly straight back to Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, it doesn't matter whether it's a rest day or not; it's more casual than an ordinary person going to the park.

Rich and willful.

Later, he even went to Japan and lived a secluded life where no one would bother him.

It is said that Ekin Cheng, who played Ren Tianchou in the original "God of Gamblers 2: The Final Chapter", later went to Japan to live in seclusion.

I don't know who in Japan these people are, but they insist on going there.

In short, Liang Chaowei's behavior was within He Xi's expectations and understandable.

Of course, while she understood, He Xi wouldn't offer her a warm welcome only to be met with indifference.

After exchanging greetings, he stood up with Liang Jiahui.

"Brother Hui, you misspoke earlier. I'm just a little taller than you guys. If we're talking about looks, I can't compare to you or Brother Wei."

Tony Leung Ka-fai pursed his lips.

"Come on! Do you think I don't look in the mirror? Do you think I don't know whether I'm handsome or not?"

He Xi shook her head.

"Brother Hui, height is an objective fact, but whether someone is handsome or not is a subjective feeling."

"I think you're the most handsome, even more handsome than Chow Yun-fat! You're the most handsome in my heart!"

Liang Jiahui immediately burst out laughing, revealing his back teeth.

"Good job, you have a good eye! Actually, I think so too!"

After a few words, the two became friends and started chatting together.

Leung Chiu-wai, who played the male lead, was ironically sidelined.

However, Leung Chiu-wai is not bad either, this way he can be more comfortable.

He sat in the chair, his eyes vacant, perhaps wondering how many people his girlfriend, Carina Lau, had met after her kidnapping a few years ago...

After chatting for a while, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in.

"This is a dealer we specially invited from Macau. He teaches everyone some simple gambling techniques and also serves as a gambling instructor and hand double to assist us with filming."

After the staff finished their introduction, the middle-aged man began his lesson with a confident and poised demeanor.

Facing award-winning stars like Leung Chiu-wai and Leung Ka-fai, he showed no restraint whatsoever, clearly having seen it all.

He Xi overheard an insider revealing this to her.

Back then, Patrick Tse made a gambling movie, and then thought he was all set. He went straight to Macau and lost everything.

In the end, it was only after Deborah, Nicholas Tse's mother, personally went to the gambling king for a late-night talk that they managed to get him released.

The person in front of me was the one who entertained Xie Laosi back then.

He Xi immediately became interested.

This is a true master. In a movie, he would be a master among masters, like Ko Chun or Chan Siu-tat, who could turn 20 dollars into 3700 million dollars with his skills.

If you learn all his skills, you won't even need to act; you could just go straight to…

No, that's not right! We agreed to be mortal enemies with gambling and drugs!

Moreover, gambling is never absolute.

The saying goes that nine out of ten gamblers lose; off-court technical issues are often more crucial than gambling skills.

The house never loses.

Thinking you can get rich this way is wishful thinking.

However, learning one or two special skills can be a good way to relax or show off and attract women.

"Look everyone, I have a regular deck of cards in my hand."

The dealer extends his hand to display.

He Xi raised her hand immediately.

"I want to castrate him!"

Liang Jiahui, who was standing next to him, immediately smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"So it's the French God of Gamblers in person! I am Xu Wenlong, the Chinese Saint of Gamblers. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

He Xi immediately smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"So you are the Chinese gambling master 'Tonight, Fight the Tiger'? My apologies for my rudeness."

Liang Jiahui shook his head.

"Tonight's tiger hunter is my senior brother, I'm 'Tonight's white tiger hunter'..."

After verifying the cards, the dealer begins to display them.

First came all sorts of fancy moves. In his hands, a deck of cards was like a refined magic weapon, flying up and down as if it were his own arm.

"It took me about two and a half years to master this skill."

The dealer spoke with a sigh, as if reminiscing about the time when he was young and learning card skills, a time that had passed.

"You don't need to train to my level. There will be special props, playing cards, to help you with the filming."

"You just need to remember the expression on my face when I do these movements, and the feeling of my fingers moving."

After the dealer demonstrated three times, he instructed the staff to give each of Leung Chiu-wai, Leung Ka-fai, and Ho Hei a deck of cards.

Leung Chiu-wai and Leung Ka-fai started playing, mimicking the croupier's actions.

However, the playing cards that were as obedient as well-behaved children in the opponent's hands became untamed wild horses in theirs.

A moment later, a shower of playing cards flew several meters away.

Behind the two, He Xi took the playing cards but did not immediately start playing.

Instead, he held it in his hand, carefully feeling it, while the image of the dealer playing cards flashed through his mind.

He had already activated his "high-energy state" earlier and hadn't turned it off yet.

He could recall the dealer's expressions perfectly.

However, some of the subtle actions during card games cannot be understood simply by observing them.

These movements are so subtle and discreet that they would be impossible to see even with a magnifying glass; otherwise, the other party wouldn't be the top dealer in Macau.

However, even if you can't learn those subtle movements, you can still imitate some of the superficial skills.

So, after a careful recollection, while Leung Chiu-wai and Leung Ka-fai were bent over picking up the scattered playing cards from the ground...

He Xi suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed the playing cards with both hands, and pulled them sharply.

The playing cards flew swiftly from one of his hands into the other.

The clattering sound of cards flying not only attracted the dealer's attention but also made Leung Chiu-wai and Leung Ka-fai forget to pick up their cards and turn around.

"Seriously, Ah Xi? You're serious?!"

Liang Jiahui shouted exaggeratedly.

The croupier's usually placid face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"You...have practiced before?"

He Xi shook her head.

No, this is the first time.

The dealer's eyes immediately lit up.
