The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The guard boy: "In the fifth game, No. 1 won. Since No. 5 didn't lose all, both of them can enter the next round."

The two girls present looked at Xiao Lou and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

肖楼微笑着拿回第五局的5000底注、自己跟注的4000、5号跟注的4000，总共13000金币。

The guard boy: "In the sixth round, the game begins. The cards are dealt randomly."

The previous rounds of dealing cards have been rotated counterclockwise, and at this time one round has passed.

In this round, the cards are dealt randomly, which happens to be number 7.

Girl No. 7 folded directly, followed by Xiao Lou, No. 2 and No. 3 Yu Hanjiang also folded, and the sum of the points of the cards thrown by the four into the discard pool exceeded 10:30, all of which were 7+ Bad cards like 8 and 9+5.

It's number 5's turn.

Because the other four players all busted, and it was over 10:30, No. 5 did nothing, just lie down and win, and got an ante of 5000 gold coins.

At this point in the game, no matter how dull a person is, he understands the way to survive.

If the card is not good, just fold it, and you will only lose the ante bet of 1000 gold coins.When you have to call bets, call less and save your life - as long as you have gold coins in your hand, you will not be eliminated.

But each player has only five chances to fold.

On the 5th, Allin in the first game, called in the fifth game, and won the sixth game. He only folded three times, and there is still a chance to continue folding.He has more than 1 gold coins in his hand, so in the seventh game, as long as he simply folds his cards, he can pass the level immediately.

The remaining four people have used up the number of times they folded their cards.

In the seventh game, four players must call at the same time.

But by this time, everyone has formed a tacit understanding-calling the minimum amount to save their lives.

The order in which the cards are dealt is random, and in the seventh round, they are randomly assigned to Xiao Lou.

The cards were dealt at the beginning, and Xiao Lou got an ace.

Gatekeeper: "The second round of licensing, please choose No. 1."

Xiao Lou glanced at his own cards, then swept across the audience, and suddenly smiled and said, "No cards, just call 1000."

Everyone was stunned.

If you want to make up 10.5 points, you need at least two cards.This is only the second round, and he only has one card in his hand, why not?Could it be that the points of the card he got are too large, and he is afraid that the card will exceed 10:30?Or……

The girl No. 2 sitting on the right rolled her eyes, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she had realized something, she followed up and said: "Call 1000, no cards!"

No. 3 Yu Hanjiang understood in seconds: "Call, no cards."

No. 5 shrugged, and as expected, he folded his cards and cleared the level.

Girl No. 7 also understood, and threw a gold coin into the prize pool: "Follow 1000, no cards."

Xiao Lou took the lead in stopping asking for cards in the second round, which was to give everyone a hint - don't ask for cards, everyone stops at the same time, let this game end in the second round, directly lose the banker, and the loss can be reduced to lowest.

At this time, everyone has no transfer beads, and it is almost impossible to get 10:30 by natural luck.

In the final game, all four must call.According to the rules of the game, every extra round of the deal, you have to call an extra 1000 gold coins. Why throw the gold coins out for nothing to gamble on luck?Is it not good to keep it in your hand?

At this moment, the four players chose not to play cards at the same time with a very tacit understanding.

The game is automatically terminated.

The gatekeeper said: "The deal is over, please show your cards."

Xiaolou No. 1: Heart A;

Girl No. 2: Diamond A;

No. 3 Yu Hanjiang: Spade A;

Girl with ponytail No. 7: Plum Blossom A.

——The cards in the hands of the four people are actually exactly the same point A!

Since No. 5 folded and the other four players tied, there is no winner in this game, and the gold coins bet will be recovered by the gatekeeper.

Sure enough, the boy said: "The seventh game is a failure, the game is over."

He took back the gold coins on the table, and said: "Congratulations to the five who have successfully cleared the secret room of plum blossom 2 [challenge 10:30]. The remaining gold coins in your hands are the rewards for this level."

Everyone: "..."

Thanks to Xiao Lou taking the lead in suspending trading in the second round, everyone lost only 2000 gold coins in this game.If you continue to ask for cards and keep calling until the fifth round, the loss will be as high as 5000.

When it is certain that everyone will be alive-don't be greedy and stop losses in time is the wisest decision.

Girl No. 2 who was sitting next to him looked at Xiao Lou in admiration, and secretly gave him a thumbs up.He took the lead in suspending the trading and managed to keep the reward of 3000 gold coins for everyone.

At this moment, No. 5 suddenly smiled and said, "Meihua, in this game, you have been secretly controlling the cards, right?"

The plum blossom boy looked back at him expressionlessly.

No. 5 continued: "I've played at least a thousand poker games. The probability of 'Tian Wang' colliding with 'Ren Wu Xiao' is less than one in [-]. There is also the last game. Everyone's starting hand is full of cards. It's an ace -- unless you're controlling the cards, there's no chance of a coincidence like that."

When he said this, everyone pricked up their ears, and Xiao Lou also raised his head.

Xiao Lou had discovered this a long time ago.

If it weren't for the gatekeeper to control the cards, it would be difficult to explain the crashes in the second and third rounds.

Lucky beads, you can be sure to get a good card.

But when two people use fortune beads at the same time - whose card is better, is it really just a matter of luck?

No.

Who to keep and who to eliminate, the initiative of this game has always been in the hands of the gatekeepers of plum blossoms.

In the second round, Yu Hanjiang and No. 6 used transfer beads at the same time. No. 6's hands were trembling nervously throughout the whole process, but Yu Hanjiang remained calm and steady—the gatekeeper decided to eliminate No. 6, so the card control allowed Yu Hanjiang to get the king, 6 No. was eliminated.

In the third round, girl No. 2 and curly-haired girl No. 4 used the transfer beads at the same time. No. 4's mentality exploded and she pushed all-in at the beginning. Although girl No. 2 was thin, she made it to the end-so the card of No. 4 was manipulated by the gatekeeper , less than No. 2, is eliminated.

The coincidence of two consecutive rounds does not make sense in terms of probability.

Plus the words of the gatekeeper: "Luck is also a kind of strength."

Xiao Lou understood the secret of the Chamber of Plum Blossoms at that time - the gatekeepers are controlling the cards and eliminating people based on their strength.

Key words: luck, strength.

The Plum Blossom Chamber does not depend on luck, but on strength.

In the fourth game, Xiao Lou hinted that No. 7 used the transfer beads, no one collided with No. 7, and the girl just lay down and won.

In the fifth round, No. 5 called, not to force Xiao Lou away, but because No. 5 also saw through the secret of the Plum Blossom Chamber and was doing an experiment.He has 14000 gold coins in his hand, even if he loses 4000, he will not be eliminated, so there is nothing wrong with doing experiments.Once Xiao Lou can't stabilize his mentality at this time, and the two of them compete against each other, it is very likely that the gatekeeper will control Xiao Lou's cards and eliminate Xiao Lou from the game.

Fortunately, Xiao Lou was stable.

The transfer beads are not used blindly before the cards are dealt.

Instead, look at the timing and decide whether to use it according to your own hand.

If you use the transfer beads blindly before the cards are dealt, you are really giving your life to unknown "luck". Maybe the gatekeeper is unhappy and will give you a bunch of AA222 directly.

Only when you draw two cards and then use the Lucky Bead, can you guess the type of card you will get in the end based on your hand. There is always a list of five types of cards on the big screen, which is For comparison.

For example, if you get J and Q at the beginning, and then use Lucky Beads, the best card type is "JQK Renxiaowu".

In the fifth round, Xiao Lou got the King of Clubs and the A of Clubs at the beginning. At this time, he used the Lucky Orb again. The best card could only be the "Tian Wang Card" - he was sure that he would get the King of Clubs, so he calmly called At the end.

The gatekeeper was obviously very satisfied with Xiao Lou's performance, and directly handed him the trump card of plum blossoms.

……

Hearing No. 5's question, the young man glanced across the audience indifferently: "Who else has doubts about the game?"

Xiao Lou smiled and said: "The four kinds of secret rooms have their own rules, and the plum blossom secret room will definitely not eliminate people by luck. I agree with No. 5's point of view. This game is not a gambling game, but a game of mentality. You never Since the first game, I have been controlling all of our hands. In the fifth game, I first drew the K of clubs and then the A of clubs, so I guessed that you would give me all the kings of clubs, right?"

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

No wonder Xiao Lou was so calm, it turned out that he had already guessed that he would win.

Thinking back carefully, every time the boy shuffled the cards, the rapidly overlapping cards between his slender fingers made people dazzled.It stands to reason that after shuffling the cards so many times, he will definitely shuffle the 52 cards evenly, and no one will get A234K by chance, and someone will get JJJJK by chance.

In terms of probability, this possibility may not necessarily appear tens of thousands of times.Today's game happened many times, and in the last game, everyone's initial cards were all aces, which couldn't be more obvious.

There is only one explanation - the gatekeeper is manipulating the game.

He can secretly arrange the order of the points of a deck of cards, and whoever he wants to get an ace can get an ace immediately.

Why do you want to control the card?

At the same time, everyone remembered his calm words when the No. 4 woman questioned him: "Luck is also a kind of strength."

That's it!

The gatekeeper judges everyone's strength and manipulates everyone's hand points, so that the stronger person can live to the end.

The Plum Blossom Chamber is actually a test of everyone's psychological quality.

Girl No. 7 was stunned, and suddenly said softly: "So, there is actually a perfect way to pass the level in the Chamber of Plum Blossoms. If we have a tacit understanding at the beginning of the game, each of us will take turns using the transfer beads in a game. Each person wins once, and the others give up. cards or just call 7, so that after seven games, everyone has gold coins in their hands and no one will be eliminated."

"It makes sense." Girl No. 2 echoed in a low voice: "It's a pity that we don't know each other, and we are suddenly drawn into a gambling game, so it is impossible for us to have a tacit understanding to live together... People are selfish, and they all think about how they can win. You don’t want to let others win with you.”

The girl's words hit the nail on the head and silenced the scene again.

The seven people cooperate tacitly, use the transfer beads in turn, and each win a game, which is the perfect way to pass the level of the Plum Blossom Chamber.However, who can think of "win-win" selflessly at the beginning?Even if you think so, how can you guarantee that the other six people will cooperate?

Unpredictable.Unless everyone knows each other and has a tacit understanding of "living together", it is impossible to pass the Plum Blossom Chamber perfectly.

When the young man heard this, the corners of his tightly pursed mouth finally raised an arc.He nodded to everyone, and said: "You are very smart-yes, I have been controlling the cards from the beginning, who is kept and who is eliminated, it all depends on your performance. The seven people who came to pass the level yesterday, fought to the end Only three survived. If you can survive five people, you are considered very good."

Everyone: "..."

When Xiao Lou heard this, he felt a chill down his spine.

The gatekeeper secretly controls the cards. Is this playing with everyone? !

The young man seemed to have seen through Xiao Lou's thoughts, and said, "The D-level Plum Blossom Chamber is the preliminary screening for challengers. I will eliminate the contestants by observing your strength and controlling your cards. This is only fair. If you really gamble on luck, The luck of the few of you may not be good. People like No. 4 and No. 6 who have poor psychological quality and are not suitable for the card world, it is kindness to them to be eliminated as soon as possible."

Xiao Lou frowned and said, "How do you guarantee that the elimination of players depends on everyone's strength, not your personal preference?"

No. 4 stood up and reasoned with him, but he kicked No. 4 in the next round.Strictly speaking, the thin girl No. 2 is not suitable for continuing to survive in the card world. No. 2 and No. 4 PK, and it is reasonable to eliminate anyone.

The boy said: "In my hand, I have the clearance scores of all of you in other secret rooms."

He waved his hand, and in front of everyone, clearance scores such as S, A, and B appeared.For No. 4 and No. 6 who were eliminated, the scores of the first three secret rooms were all C...

The boy said: "I know all the gatekeepers of hearts, diamonds, and spades. Club 2 secret room is a primary screening level, and some players who perform too poorly will definitely be eliminated. As the gatekeeper, I will judge you according to your comprehensive Performance comes and goes. Setting up a gamble game is the final test of your mental qualities—do you still have questions?"

Everyone: "..."

So far, everyone understands the rules of the Plum Blossom Chamber.

The D-level secret room is the simplest, but everyone thinks the game in the plum blossom secret room is too complicated.When hearing about playing cards, everyone's first reaction is whether their luck is bad?This knee-jerk thought can make everyone nervous.

In fact, at the moment of entering the plum blossom secret room, who will stay and who will be eliminated, the plum blossom boy already has a comprehensive evaluation report card in his hand.

Club 2 Chamber of Secrets is made into a poker game, which is the last chance for everyone to turn around.

As long as you can hold your own in a stressful card game, you can get good cards.Even if the results of the first three passes are not good, it is possible to stay in the Plum Blossom Pass.

People with poor psychological qualities like No. 4 and No. 6 had a difficult time in the first few rounds. When encountering a tense club game, their mentality is more likely to collapse, and it is impossible to survive to the end. No. 5 is the complete opposite—he scored C in Hearts, C in Diamonds, and A in Spades. He was able to survive the Plum Blossoms.

Girl No. 7 looked at Xiao Lou and said softly, "Thank you." If Xiao Lou hadn't seen through the rules, hinted that she used the Lucky Bead, and voluntarily discarded the cards so as not to collide with her, she would definitely be the next one to be eliminated.It can be said that Xiao Lou sent her to win.

Xiao Lou smiled: "You're welcome, the secret room will be more difficult in the future, you have to be careful."

Girl No. 7 nodded slightly: "I know."

The room fell silent again.

The plum blossom boy glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "After passing this test, you should have realized that the plum blossom secret room, as a [challenge secret room], will be a direct confrontation between challengers. Playing cards, or other confrontation situations, just go If you enter the Plum Blossom Chamber, you may be eliminated—before entering the Plum Blossom Chamber in the future, you must be mentally prepared that you will never return."

The five survivors had lingering fears, and they really didn't want to experience the Plum Blossom Pass again.

At this moment, Yu Hanjiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "The four D-level secret rooms are all over, can we form a team for the next C-level secret room?" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou immediately understood, and then asked: "The contract required for team formation, can I buy it now?"

Counting the gold coins in my hand, it was exactly 1——finally I could buy the contract!

The author has something to say:

The primary level of the Chamber of Plum Blossoms is a psychological quality screening level. After reading the explanation and then looking back at the first two chapters, it should be easy to understand.

There are not many poker games in the future plum blossom level, and each level is a different form of duel, so don't worry if you don't play poker.If you really don’t understand, don’t think about it, just call Lou 666 :)
