Forces of Temptation

In the process of waiting for Yi Shuige, "Cubic Ark" and "Rumeng" added a few rules on the basis of mutual communication.

First, the cards in hand can be exchanged, but the consent of both parties must be obtained, and before the exchange of cards, neither party can show the other party their own cards.

Second, the game that has been played cannot be played a second time.

Third, the same type of game cannot be repeated within three rounds.

For example, if you play poker in the first hand, you cannot play poker in the next two hands.

And 45 minutes after the World Channel accepted the invitation to enter the game, the foreign aid dealer Yi Shuige also stepped into the "Douzhuan" on time.

Yi Shuige touched the frame of the brown sunglasses with his index finger, and greeted everyone in general: "Yo."

"Something happened on the way." He said lightly, "But it's still on time."

Jiang Fang tapped his shoulder, implying: "It's good if it goes smoothly."

Yi Shuige spread his hands with a smile on his face: "The amount has been prepared in advance."

Following this movement, Nan Zhou noticed that there was a little blood left between his middle knuckles.

Soon, that hand was leisurely put into the pocket by Yi Shuige, and at the same time, Nan Zhou gave him a brisk wink.

He turned to Li Yinhang again: "How is Miss Li?"

"I still have my share." Li Yinhang touched his nose, "Hello, Mr. Yi."

When his eyes fell on Chen Sufeng, Yi Shuige was silent for a moment.

He pays attention to all the changes on the list, so he naturally knows what happened to him.

Yi Shuige raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly at him.

Chen Sufeng also gave him a polite nod in return.

Turning around, Yi Shuige saw Yuan Mingqing standing in the corner again.

For Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yi Shuige didn't see him, only heard his name, and he looked very docile, like Yi Shuige's distant nephew who was shy when he saw strangers.

As for the strange man standing not far behind Li Yinhang, who was completely covered except for his eyebrows and eyes, he also distracted him for a while or two.

...It's a completely unfamiliar face.

Like a courtesan, he greeted someone he knew well, and Yi Shui sang in a hurry, straight to the point.

"...how exactly do you want to play?"

After roughly understanding all the rules, Yi Shuige picked up a deck of poker and played it upside down with his fingertips for a while: "I don't know how to play poker. I only know how to catch bamboo poles."

Jiang Fang said, "It doesn't matter. You just need to deal out the cards normally."

On the other side, "Rumeng"'s eyebrows have already wrinkled into iron bumps.

...What is the strategy group doing?

Proposed to let outsiders participate, but finally chose a person who favored the "Cubic Ark" to deal the cards?

Even if Yi Shuige really didn't know anything about chess and cards, it would be a great disadvantage to the disadvantaged "Rumeng".

The strategy group can only observe the game from their perspective. If the card dealer is not biased, then any change may happen at the gaming table.

For them now, losing a little bit of advantage may be a fatal threat.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more.

Ten people sat around a sandalwood round table that had been temporarily cleaned up, with different thoughts and emotions.

Only the novice dealer Yi Shuige is happy.

He plays with the 10 cards in his hand.

1 Joker represents the "player", and hearts A to 9 represent the "people" driven by the "king".

Yi Shuige didn't lie that he was not good at poker.

His way of shuffling the cards was rather rusty, and although he was not clumsy enough to miss and discard cards, his movements could only barely be counted as smooth.

However, the skill of his atmosphere group is still quite strong.

He turned to the five relatively unfamiliar faces: "Is it 'like a dream'?"

The four indifferent Wanniang faces were all facing him without emotion.

Only Qu Jinsha responded to his greeting with a slight smile: "Hello, Mr. Yi. I have seen you."

Yi Shuige shuffled the cards seriously: "Really? Do you remember me?"

Qu Jinsha said: "When the casino was first established, you were regular customers, but you just came here to have a look, not to gamble, so I have a little impression."

"At that time..." Yi Shuige stared at the cards in his hand, showing a nostalgic expression, "I came to step on the spot."

Qu Jinsha thought he heard it wrong: "...what?"

Yi Shuige faced Qu Jinsha, showing some teeth in a smile, and brought out a bit of gloom in the intimacy: "I know that gambling can harm people, so I wanted to kill you, but there are NPCs in the casino , you always don’t go out, I couldn’t find a chance to do it, and I didn’t want to ruin myself, so I gave up.”

As he said that, he showed a bit of regret: "Ah, I wish I had known that I would have done it at the beginning. Wouldn't today's game not exist?"

After listening to this thoughtful and frightening speech, Qu Jinsha was not angry, but simply surprised by Yi Shuige's frankness.

Anyway, Yi Shuige was never the only one who wanted to kill him.

He shrugged his shoulders and understood: "In this business, it is normal to be cautious. I'm sorry, Mr. Yi spent money on the in and out back then."

Yi Shuige laughed at Yanyan: "You're welcome."

The newly joined Wen Jiasheng in "Hong Ni" couldn't stand this boring gag: "Hey, let's start."

Yi Shuige flicked the cards in his hand smartly, tilted his head and smiled at Wen Jiasheng, trying to strike up a conversation: "Hey, do you want 'King'?"

Wen Jiasheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his face away, saw the unlucky appearance of the Dai brothers, and secretly snorted in his heart.

Over there, Yi Shuige also finished sorting cards.

He held the 10 thin cards in his palm, reiterated the rules of the game as required, and added an additional one with the permission of both parties: These 10 cards are also renewed every three games.

As for when the game will end, according to the rules of the game of kings, as long as everyone reaches an agreement.

But in view of the irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, this "consensus" is destined to be impossible to reach.

——Who is the champion of this overtime game will be decided in this king game after game.

The life-gambling game officially began in such a seemingly relaxed atmosphere with turbulent internal waves.

In the first round, it was Nanzhou who got the "King" card.

Nan Zhou put the blood-red Joker to his lips, and his eyes lingered on the 9 people present.

The first step is to choose both sides of the confrontation.

Since the 10 cards had been held by Yishui singer from the beginning, and the cards were dealt manually, Nan Zhou had no way of judging each person's hand, so he reported two numbers at random.

"Aces and 7s."

He wanted to use verbal probing to find out who took these two cards.

It's a pity that everyone has learned well.

Half of them had poker faces, expressionless.

The other half looked around, trying to determine who the two players were.

The second step is to choose a gambling method.

After a short thought, Nanzhou gave the simplest confrontation mode: "wrestling the arm."

The third step is to determine the stakes.

Nanzhou chose the minimum value: "1."

After the "king" gave the order, everyone put down their cards at the same time.

——A is Qu Jinsha, 7 is Dai Xuelin.

After seeing Qu Jinsha's fat face, Dai Xuelin almost couldn't control his expression.

All the tension was in vain.

Once the game of kings becomes an internal confrontation, the game becomes meaningless.

It doesn't matter who wins anyway.

Qu Jinsha lost to Dai Xuelin without any struggle.

Dai Xuelin withdrew his hand irritably, wiped off the sweat on his palm with a handkerchief in disgust, and pushed the cards back impatiently: "Come again. Next game."

The rest must be agreed by both parties. Dai Xuelin was so enthusiastic, and of course "Li Ark" couldn't delay the time by resting.

Collect, shuffle, deal, fast forward.

Soon, everyone had another card in their hand.

With the lessons learned from the first game, Wen Jiasheng suspected at first that Yi Shuige favored "Li Fangzhou" and deliberately dealt the cards in favor of "Li Fangzhou".

However, when Wen Jiasheng saw the "King" card in his hand, he was startled first, and then a surge of joy mixed with fear welled up in his heart.

When watching, he felt that the Dai brothers were playing like cerebral palsy, moody, until the card was transferred to his hand, he felt his palms were hot, his cheeks were cold, and endless worry and excitement rushed into his heart.

His fingers trembled as he threw down the cards to identify himself.

He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva before making room for his tongue to move.

Wen Jiasheng thought he had a good brain.

It was the first time Yi Shuige got a card. Everyone didn't know the truth and could only guess blindly.

But after opening a game, when the cards are collected again, the order of the cards will be clear.

He observed Yi Shuige's way of shuffling the cards and noted down the positions of two or three cards.

So, confidently designated the two sides of the competition: "5 and 7."

If he remembered correctly, in this round, the card in Li Yinhang's hand was 5, and the card in his partner Jiang Zhengping's hand was 7.

Sure enough, after hearing him read out the number, Li Yinhang licked his lips.

It was completely unconscious, because she immediately hid the tip of her tongue obediently.

A winning start!

However, Wen Jiasheng has some regrets.

Just now Nanzhou used "arm wrestling", the simplest competitive event of strength confrontation.

The rule of "cannot be repeated within three rounds" came into play at this time.

If it was a competition of strength, wouldn't Li Yinhang be sure to lose?

Just now, he also learned some gambling methods, but after learning the lesson of "Rumeng"'s fiasco, Wen Jiasheng thought that it would be bad if the rules were complicated.

They can't be regarded as good at controlling other projects...

After some calculations, Wen Jiasheng made up his mind.

"Rock paper scissors, three out of five games." He said, "The bet is 5 points."

Anyway, Li Yinhang was the softest persimmon among the five, no matter how he squeezed it, it didn't look like something would happen.

Li Yinhang threw down the cards, his heart beat wildly, and his legs under the table trembled slightly.

...a rock-scissors worth 5 points?

are you crazy?

Compared to Li Yinhang, who was so nervous that his eyelashes were shaking, Jiang Zhengping, who threw down the "7" card, crossed his arms and leaned back, examining this woman whose mentality seemed to have collapsed before she started comparing.

But in the eyes of the Dai family brothers, these two people are seriously ill.

"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Dai Xuelin, who was sitting on Wen Jiasheng's left hand, grabbed his shoulder, gritted his teeth, and whispered in his ear, "The one with a better betting chance!"

Wen Jiasheng glanced at him coldly, sat up a little more, and distanced himself from him.

"The rules originally demanded 'fairness'. Thanks to you, do we still have any projects with a 'high winning rate'?"

Dai Xuelin's face turned pale from the irony, and the arrogance that had just ignited quickly dissipated.

All the props that could cheat thousands of them are gone.

This terrible headwind was indeed caused by their own random use and effort.

Yuan Mingqing at the side saw Dai Xuelin being speechless, and turned his face away.

As a Gaowei person, he understands Wen Jiasheng's psychology very well.

From "Hongni"'s point of view, they were temporarily dispatched to save the scene, playing the role of "saviors", and they were naturally superior. It was difficult to unite with "Rumeng" immediately, and they could not understand their panic.

Moreover, they are obviously eager to make meritorious service and reverse the decline.

In this way, while showing oneself well, it also allows the team to recover blood.

However, rock-paper-scissors is indeed absolutely fair.

Anyone can win, it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

Jiang Zhengping took the lead in standing up, posing for a competition.

Li Yinhang stood up reluctantly with a gloomy expression on his brows.

She was a full head and a half smaller than the tall Jiang Zhengping, and her momentum naturally lost a bit.

Jiang Zhengping cast a cold glance at this weak human being, not very interested: "Let's get started."

Li Yinhang looked quite nervous, a thin layer of cold sweat had already formed on his forehead, which shone brightly under the light: "Rock, scissors—"

After shouting here, Li Yinhang suddenly said: "Oh, inch."

Jiang Zhengping, who was ready, frowned: "What are you doing?"

Li Yinhang looked up at him: "Let's set a rhythm first, rock, scissors, cloth, let's shout together, lest someone slow out."

Jiang Zhengping: "What do you mean?"

Li Yinhang made a gesture of "scissors" with one hand, and tapped the rhythm while saying: "Rock-scissors-paper."

She seemed to care about slowing down, and repeated this rhythm point on both sides.

...Is there any point in getting tangled up in these minutiae?

Jiang Zhengping nodded: "No problem."

"Then let's go together." Li Yinhang tapped his chest with two fingers, "Rock - scissors -"

cloth.

When the word "cloth" fell, the first game also had a result.

Li Yinhang released the stone.

Jiang Zhengping took out the scissors.

Yi Shuige, who also serves as a referee, took out a small whistle from the warehouse and blew it happily: "Miss Li won the first game!"

Jiang Zhengping looked at his fingertips, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

……what happened?

When he looked at Li Yinhang with complicated thoughts, Li Yinhang also raised his head and looked back.

She was still very nervous, and she was so nervous that she was sweating a lot.

Li Yinhang said, "What will you do next?"

She added: "I'm going to make scissors next."

Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang exchanged glances at the same time.

... Isn't this very good at playing?
