Han Wen and Zhou Rong had already gone to look for materials to let Yue Xin study better. However, Yue Xin lost interest after taking a few glances. She ran to the other side, to a very inconspicuous stall.

Yue Lingfeng scratched his head in frustration. Initially, he did not want to care anymore, but in the end, he still followed her. As soon as he approached the stall, Yue Lingfeng frowned. The stall was very clean. It could be said to be too clean.

Beside the stall, there were several people lying down. Their expressions were not good, as if they would die in the next second. There was also someone crying, “Please, give me another chance!”

The stall owner slapped that person’s hand away with a smile and said, “Even if

I give you a chance, you’ll still lose. Come back when you have money.”

After saying that, the stall owner saw Yue Xin in front of him and was very impatient. Just as he was about to chase her away, he saw Yue Lingfeng following behind. After sizing him up, the stall owner immediately changed his expression and smiled. “Kid, do you want to play? The first round is free. If you win, I’ll give you five dollars. How about that? Do you want to try?”

Yue Lingfeng had just walked over when he heard these words that were meant to lead children astray. He reached out and pulled Yue Xin away. “Yue Xin, you can’t touch this thing.”

Whether it was drugs or gambling, one would be doomed after touching any of them.

However, Yue Xin easily broke free from Yue Lingfeng’s hand and returned to the stall.

Yue Lingfeng could only say to the stall owner, “She doesn’t have money. Even if you win, you won’t get anything.”

The stall owner smiled warmly as if he was not gambling with anyone at all.

“It’s fine. This is just a game. The child is too curious. It’s fine to let her try.”

Although the stall owner said that, he could already tell that Yue Lingfeng was rich. As long as he waited for this young lady to lose and used her to make threat, he would definitely make a huge profit.

The stall owner seemed to have already seen a large sum of money waving at him, so he wouldn’t let Yue Xin leave. He started to shuffle the cards. “This is very simple. It’s called Blackjack. It’s a competition of luck. The points in your hands can’t exceed 21. The person with more points will win. Do you want to

Yue Xin stared at the boss’s hand and nodded.

Initially, Yue Lingfeng was still immersed in the surprise of Yue Xin breaking free from him. When he looked over again, the two of them were playing. Yue Lingfeng suddenly had an inexplicable sense of mission. Helping his sister get back on track was his duty! However, before that, if Yue Xin could not realize that this was wrong, it would be meaningless. Thinking ot this, he decided to wait for Yue Xin to lose anything before stopping her. This way, Yue Xin would understand that this kind of game was actually a gamble.

On the other side, Yue Xin had already won a round under the stall owner’s deliberate care and earned five dollars from the stall owner’s baiting.

After that, when the stall owner asked her if she wanted to play again, Yue Xin simply nodded.

The stall owner immediately smiled. The fish had taken the bait.

“Let’s change the chips,” Yue Xin said lazily. She looked like a fat sheep.

The stall owner was even happier. Of course, he had chips.

“Alright, I thought you were a newbie. I didn’t expect you to know so much.” The stall owner immediately took out a pile of chips and pushed them in front of Yue Xin without asking how much she wanted.

Yue Xin did not take it. Instead, she looked at the vendor’s shuffling method and was thinking about something.

“Yue Xin, do you know what a perfect shuffle is? It’s a special case of cross-shuffling. If you use this method to shuffle, the number of cards will be equal every time. When you shuffle, you stack one card. This way, after shuffling, the order is fixed.”

“If you don’t know this little trick, it’s impossible to win.”

The familiar and unfamiliar voice of Big Sister sounded in Yue Xin’s mind. After thinking for a moment, she immediately understood that this stall owner used this perfect shuffling method.

Yue Xin remembered the steps of the perfect shuffle. The first step was to tidy up the cards before shuffling. Then, she would hold the cards with the fingertips of her left hand. Her right hand would approach the cards from above, and her index finger would be placed on the short side far away from her body. She would pick up half the cards with her right thumb, middle finger, and ring finger. She would use the upper half of the cards she was holding to gently knock the short side of the lower half of the cards. Then, she would place the two decks of cards close to the side of her body against each other.

Her right index finger would ensure that the two decks of cards were kept level. Finally, she would push the two decks of cards together. At that time, the cards would begin to intersperse with each other, and it would be easier to move back slightly. This way, after shuffling, the order of the cards would not change.

Yue Xin stared at the stall owner’s hand and came to a conclusion. This person’s technique was not good.

Yue Xin picked up the card and glanced at it before saying, “Hand out another one..”
