Early the next morning.
Last night, Jiang Zhen had been high all the way until 4 am. He had just rested, so he went down the dormitory building in high spirits and went to work as usual.
In the changing room.
Jiang Zhen had just changed into his prison guard uniform when he saw Uncle Xing carrying a big bag of things in.
He seemed to have been waiting for Jiang Zhen. As soon as he saw Jiang Zhen, he smiled and welcomed him warmly,"Jiang Zai, you're here! Come, come, come. I ordered pineapple oil today and asked the canteen to make it separately. It's just out of the oven and I'm waiting for you.”
"Uncle Xing, there's no need to be so polite. You're the boss. How can I let you buy breakfast?”Jiang Zhen smiled as he took the box and casually said.
"What do you mean by that? Jiang Zai, don't mention this in front of me in the future, or I'll be angry!”
Uncle Xing first pretended to reprimand him, then he said with a smile,
"Jiang Zai, it's all thanks to you for what happened yesterday. If it wasn't for your quick-wittedness, I would have been in trouble. I'm not even afraid of being demoted. I'm just afraid that I'll take the blame and resign. I still have a few years before I get my pension. If I'm really fired, I really don't know what to do in the future.”
Uncle Xing's face was filled with gratitude and joy as he whispered into Jiang Zhen's ear.
However, most of the chatter in the past was complaints and gossip. Today's chatter was sincere and full of gratitude.
"Alright, Uncle Xing, I'll follow you as soon as I arrive at Stanley. If I don't help you, who should I help?”
Jiang Zhen didn't like Uncle Xing in his heart, but he spoke frankly and sincerely.
"Alright, I won't say anything else. In short, you can do whatever you want under me.”Uncle Xing patted Jiang Zhen's shoulder and promised.
Jiang Zhen was ambitious and didn't put Uncle Xing in his eyes at all. However, in a short period of time, he would gain a lot of benefits. He nodded slightly and acknowledged Uncle Xing.
For the entire morning, Jiang Zhen and Uncle Xing were in charge of patrolling the outer perimeter of Stanley.
At noon, the two of them took their food and went to the northern area of Stanley Prison where Long Si was.
Uncle Xing was also extremely amused. Today, he actually wanted to rush to deliver food to Long Si.
After all, in his opinion, delivering food to Dragon Four was not a good job. It was dirty and smelly.
In that harsh environment, even a minute was too much!
Uncle Xing mistakenly thought that Jiang Zhen was sensible and didn't act like a spoiled child, so he valued him more. They found a seat outside the North District and sat down. They told Jiang Zhen not to be in a hurry and to take his time.
This attitude was like heaven and earth compared to yesterday.
………………
In a dark cell.
Dragon Four was still lying on the ground as usual.
But today, Long Si, who heard the footsteps, took the initiative and said,""You're here?"
"Master, let's eat first."
Since he had already acknowledged her as his master, Jiang Zhen had to admit it no matter what. He spoke respectfully.
This was a good habit that Jiang Zhen had developed in the martial arts world in his previous life.
"There's no rush. I've been eating for decades. Even if I don't eat for a day or two, I won't die. I don't have much time left. From today onwards, I'll teach you gambling techniques.”Compared to yesterday, Dragon Four sounded more anxious today.
This…
Jiang Zhen hesitated.
"What, you don't want to learn anymore?" Long Si said coldly.
"That's not it." "But I didn't bring any poker cards!" Jiang Zhen shook his head.”
"It's okay. Even if you don't have poker cards, you can still learn.”Dragon Four heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Jiang Zhen wanted to learn.
"Oh?"
Jiang Zhen's curiosity was piqued, and he sat down in front of Dragon Four.
"You've been sending me food every day for the past month. I think you're familiar with everything in this room. Let me ask you, how many iron bars are there on the metal door of this room?”Long Si suddenly asked.
Hearing this question, Jiang Zhen instinctively turned around.
"Don't look. Answer immediately." Long Si roared coldly.
This room was pitch-black. If one didn't look consciously, who would know?
"If you don't know, you just want to!"
Long Si shouted again, and then he continued,"To learn gambling, the first thing you need to learn is not skill, but the most basic, extraordinary observation and memory.”
"On the gambling table, when two people are gambling, only the weak will make the first move. The strong only need to be able to see all directions and understand everything about the other party. Then, they can easily crack the game and win perfectly.”
"If you can't even do simple observation and memory, even if you know all the techniques in the world, you can't beat a real gambling master. Real experts all knew a thousand tricks. If you couldn't catch others cheating, how could you win beautifully?”
"Yes, you've been coming and going in this room for a month. As long as you want to, you'll definitely remember. Don't think that you don't know before you even start. Think hard…"
He closed his eyes and recalled…
Inside the dark prison cell, Jiang Zhen's brain was working crazily, flipping through the hippocampi that stored his memories. He recalled the "brief glimpse" he had when he entered and exited the cell every day.
With Draconic Four's encouragement, Jiang Zhen slowly began to recall his memories. One metal bar, two metal bars…
After a long time, Jiang Zhen opened his eyes and said confidently,"Twelve horizontal railings and six vertical railings.”
"Alright…!"
Long Si smiled in relief. Without a doubt, this answer was completely correct.
"There are five basic points in gambling. The first is observation, the second is memory, the third is calculation, the fourth is psychology, and the fifth is momentum.”
"What I want to teach you today is these five basic points. From tomorrow onwards, every day when you come to deliver food, I'll eat, and you'll tell me everything you've experienced the day before. Including who you met, what kind of clothes you wore, what kind of appearance you had, and what kind of environment you were in. You have to tell me everything clearly.”
" As for calculation, psychology, and aura, I'll teach you now…"
Long Si was undoubtedly a good teacher. No matter what his purpose was in taking Jiang Zhen as his disciple, Jiang Zhen was still a good teacher. However, it was undeniable that Jiang Zhen was very interested in his first class today.
Gambling techniques might not necessarily be used on the gambling table as people thought. Perhaps they could really be used elsewhere.
Or perhaps, life was the biggest gamble?
With curiosity and excitement, Jiang Zhen listened attentively to Dragon Four's explanation.
In the dark cell, this pair of strange masters began their strange teaching from that day onwards…
