End of ten days

Everyone sat around the table. Dihou reached out and shuffled the deck of cards, then raised his head and looked at everyone indifferently.

Qi Xia rubbed his forehead and said, "Monkey, are you really not going to explain the rules of this deck of cards?"

"Why, with your level, you should be able to guess in the game." Dihou carefully put down the cards, then took out a cigarette from his suit pocket and lit it.

After hearing this, Chen Junnan also felt that it was a bit unreasonable. After enduring it for a long time, he finally said: "Brother Monkey, are you really not violating the rules?"

"Oh?" Dihou blew out a smoke ring and asked calmly, "Why is it against the rules?"

"The game your old man opened is a "casino", but as the agent of this "casino", you don't let the people who participate in gambling know the rules?" Chen Junnan said with a smile, "Then you are really big-hearted, what is this store? When will it go bankrupt?”

"Ha." Dihou took down the cigarette and held it between his fingers. "Losing all the "words" because you are not familiar with the rules of a certain game is something that happens every day in this casino, so I It’s really not a violation.”

Qi Xia snorted coldly after hearing this: "But how boring is this?"

"boring?"

"You have been waiting for so long to finally be able to activate this "Syrozoic Moon", but are you prepared to win with information gap?" Qi Xia reached out and touched his chin, "Is this all the tactics you can think of? What are you afraid of?"

When Dihou heard these words, his eyes wandered slightly, as if he was repeatedly considering Qi Xia's words. After a few seconds, he sighed slightly and said: "That's right. In order to allow the game to proceed smoothly, it is a matter of common sense. I still want to tell you."

Qi Xia didn't know what Dihou was thinking about, so she could only fold her hands on her chest and wait for his explanation.

Earth Monkey placed the shuffled cards on the table. Everyone took a quick look and found that there were not many cards in the deck. The overall number should be smaller than a deck of poker cards, about thirty or forty cards.

He lifted up the top card of the pile and placed it on the table, revealing its face.

There are only two regular Chinese characters on it——

"Manzhong".

Earth Monkey looked at this card, then picked up the second card from the pile and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Mid-Autumn Festival".

When everyone sees these two cards, they will naturally know what they mean. "Manzhong" is one of the twenty-four solar terms, and "Mid-Autumn Festival" is a traditional festival. There are more than thirty cards in this deck, and it is very likely that the twenty-four solar terms have been added. There are all the cards for solar terms and traditional festivals, but what kind of game will it be if you play with this deck of cards?

"At the beginning of the game, a "community card" will be drawn and placed in the center of the table for everyone to see." Dihou said, "Then each person will draw two more cards, one light and one dark. The bright card can be shown to everyone. People, you can only check the hidden cards yourself.”

Qi Xia nodded after hearing this: "What then?"

"Ha..." Earth Monkey showed a weird smile, "Then we need to use the two cards in our hands, plus the "community card" in the center of the table, and use three cards to compare with everyone, and the one with the highest card will be Will win all the chips on the table."

"Comparing size...?"

These three words made everyone look puzzled.

There are only Chinese characters on these cards. What is the meaning of "compare big and small"? Is it comparing dates?

But if we really want to compare dates, why do we use the "open cards" and "hidden cards" in our hands plus the "community card" in the center of the table?

Wouldn't it be more straightforward for everyone to draw a card and compare the size?

"As for the winning conditions...you can rest assured." Dihou said, "My "casino" has a bottom line after all. If your cards are bigger than mine, I will not deny it, that is, it does not exist. In the case of "false reporting", you won and I cheated. This is really against the rules. "

"Then... how to determine the outcome?" Qi Xia asked again, "Will one game determine the outcome?"

"No...of course not." Earth Monkey shook his head, "I finally took out my "Syrozoic Moon", how can I decide the outcome in one game?"

He picked up the two cards on the table, shuffled them again, and then said: "Eight rounds, a total of eight rounds of the game, after that, regardless of the chips, the game is over."

After hearing this, Qi Xia frowned and nodded.

Now they not only have to figure out the rules within eight rounds, but they also have to win the "Tao" that is enough for six people to redeem themselves in these eight rounds.

"How many "Daos" can you get in that round?" Xiao Cheng asked from the side.

"Good question." Earth Monkey said, "At the beginning, everyone pays one "Dao", and then each person is given a "clear card". Everyone needs to show this "clear card", and then the card is The person with the smallest date on the face starts to choose whether to add or not.”

"Raise?"

"That's right." Dihou nodded, "After all, this is a casino, and the casino has its own rules. After the first person raises the bet, the remaining people will make three choices in clockwise order, either "Admit defeat", either choose "Follow" or continue to choose "Add". As the name suggests, admitting means giving up the "way" that has been placed on the table, and choosing "Follow" will take out the first place. Everyone has the same chips, but the "raise" chip is more than the first person."

Several people nodded after hearing this.

"Once someone "raises" midway, the remaining people who have not "admitted" must restart the three choices clockwise until everyone "admits" or everyone "follows." Dihou said. After finishing, he glanced at everyone and said, "These are the basic rules of the gambling table. Am I clear enough?"

Several people showed hesitation at this time. Although what Dihou said was not difficult to understand, they did not understand the most critical rules.

How can we compare the size of the cards?

After you get the cards, how can you decide whether your cards are worth "betting"?

But for everyone, there is a more difficult problem in front of them.

Even if this game really uses the dates of the twenty-four solar terms and the traditional festivals to compare, the traditional festivals are easier to say, but who can accurately tell the dates of the twenty-four solar terms?

Which one has the greater date, "Bailu", "Guyu" or "Mangzhong"?

They can only hope that what needs to be compared is not the date, but the number of strokes of the text on the card, otherwise the difficulty of this game will soar to incredible heights.

"Whether you understand it or not...this game can only tell you so much." After Dihou finished speaking, he looked up at the six people sitting in front of him, "All of you have to participate in this game. A gambling game?”

Tiantian and Xiaocheng turned to look at Zheng Yingxiong at the same time, and Chen Junnan asked Qi Xia in a low voice: "Old Qi, do you know the exact date of the twenty-four solar terms?"

Qi Xia rubbed his forehead after hearing this. Although he was a little dizzy now, he knew that the problem was not at all.
