In 1992 in Bincheng, Chen Mo, a college student, incurred a debt of 800 yuan from the King of Hell due to his addiction to underground gambling. On a desperate night, he encounters a broken-fingered watchmaker Gui Shouqi in the night market, using his pocket watch to carve bloody letters, a move that scares the loan sharks. In the heavy rain, I knelt down to pay homage to my master, and from then on, I uncovered the secrets of the world in an old watch shop - watch repair is practiced on the fingertips, mahjong tiles are engraved with human calculations, and Teresa Teng is hiding sonic skills when the phonograph is playing.
When Chen Mo used the gear mechanism to win back the first pot of gold in the casino, he discovered that the master's jade ring contained the secret of the murderous murder of the gambling king twenty years ago. From the gambling in the video hall to the shocking gambling on the smuggling ship going south, he took the modified mobile phone and the magnetic dice to deal with the black and white in the neon and sea fog.
Three years later, the boy who used to kneel in the rain has become the new Thousand-Faced Fox, and the man with the blue dragon tattoo who was pressing for debt back then is watching with trembling eyes as he uses watch repair tweezers to remove the last trump card from under his nose. In this duel of thousands of skills passed down from master to apprentice, the stakes are not only the outcome of the card table, but also the last attempt of an ant to change his fate in troubled times.
