Chapter 236 - Card 02
The two men quietly played cards that made the game extremely difficult, and it was only after Dio unobtrusively revealed the second "queen of hearts" in his hand that Daria understood what Dior meant by "testing". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's an impossible 'battle' to win, and playing cards with someone who can pause time is definitely a brain disease. As long as Dior doesn't want them to win, they don't have any chance.
In the end, it was a test to satisfy his little bit of victory? No, Dior didn't waste his time in the days leading up to the fight for this little bit of selfish desire.
Liao Xueqing, who was on the side, also noticed Dior's cards at this time, she was slightly stunned, and she was not much shocked. Daria frowned, was this something she expected? Then she should have understood that she had no chance of winning.
"In other words," Liao Xueqing closed her eyes, "even if you use a little ability, it doesn't hurt, right?"
"It's your business whether you need it or not," Dior said casually, "By the way, I'm in a relatively weak state right now. β
Dior wouldn't be so kind, and it was only when Jacqueline dealt the next hand that Daria began to think. Did Dior and Sixteen Nights exchange hands with each other without the other party noticing, or are they even cards taken directly from the deck? It is more likely that the former, Sixteen Nights has been folding, and it should be that after exchanging hands with Dior, the cards are still not ideal... Wrong.
She only bets one chip at a time, and has lost a total of 10 chips so far, five cards each time, and a deck of poker has only 52 cards to draw a joker, and she has not received a single good card in the library, which is too low, not to mention that Dior and she are exchanging hands. Then her purpose is to lose!
If Sixteen Nights loses before the two of them, Liao Xueqing will have 50 chips in her hand, and Sixteen Nights will automatically quit the game. And Dio and Daria have a total of 50 chips left in their hands, even if they only press one at a time, Dior can get two chips after losing, and Dalia and Liao Xueqing not only have to ensure that they win Dior, but also ensure that the chips in their hands are not too average, even if each of them has fifty chips in their hands, they can't win.
Shared chips don't count in the rules, i.e. ... You must first export the common chips in your hand to have a chance of winning.
Is the real trap here? Daria couldn't help but leave a cold sweat, if Sixteen Nights was out soon, then it would be too easy for Dior to win. She hasn't won once, the chips she pressed down are shared with Liao Xueqing, not counted as chips in the rules, if she enters the three-person session with zero chips, she can only bet with shared chips, and in order to make Liao Xueqing enough chips, she can't even win too much, if Dio presses a lot of chips when she has a good card in her hand, she can only fold.
Don't forget, Dior is the dealer. If Dalia and Liao Xueqing don't follow, Dior will earn two ante chips for nothing. With zero chips in hand, it is simply unrealistic to win a lot of chips in Dior's hand at once.
In other words, she will soon become a guy who can't do anything but give away chips. When the total chips were lost, she would be kicked out of the game because of the rules, and at that time, Dior probably already had a lot of chips in his hands. But this is already the best result.
Just as Daria guessed, as long as Dior wanted to, they couldn't win at all. Dio only needed to deliberately lose some chips to Daria to keep the balance of the chips between the two, and the result was just no win or loss.
Wait a minute... Daria thinks back that this is not just a "battle" about winning or losing, this is a test. Since it is a test, their ultimate goal is not necessarily victory, the key is Liao Xueqing's performance in this game. But... How to convey this to Liao Xueqing? Daria looked at Liao Xueqing who didn't change her face on the side, did she think of it? Or didn't she care at all?
"I pressed all my chips. β
When Daria was still thinking, she saw that Sixteen Nights suddenly pressed all the common chips, and Daria looked at her in amazement.
β... I don't follow. Liao Xueqing threw away the cards in her hand.
Sixteen Nights had four cards of a flush face up, and it was true that she might just be bluffing, but with Dior, who was able to pause time, it couldn't be easier to swap out that hole card, and folding was the best option. Daria suddenly understood why Dio said that he wanted to use two decks of cards, and although the probability of a big hand did not increase, there were many more possibilities - before the library shuffled, Dior could use the same moves as Sixteen Nights to "automatically win", and Liao Xueqing and Daria did not dare to call at all.
But... Why did Sixteen Nights choose to win a chip at this time?
Daria glanced at her cards, which already had a "three-of-a-kind", that is, three of the same card, and she glanced at Dior, but saw that Dior had decisively discarded his cards.
βοΌβ
I couldn't understand it, but Daria accepted her winnings anyway. Looking at the two chips in front of her, and the six in front of Dior, she couldn't help but frown.
Something is wrong.
As the game progresses, Daria understands what the problem is.
For a long time, the game was in a stalemate, and Daria thought that the test would end soon, but more than an hour had passed.
When there were still more than 20 chips left in the total chips of Sixteen Nights and Dior, she and Dior seemed to have changed tactics, and Sixteen Nights also won a lot of Liao Xueqing's chips, and the two were basically in a state of exchanging chips on the table. And Dior's side maintained the winning streak as always, and in the end, Daria's side only had the last common chip left, and before the card was dealt, she could only press this chip hard.
Dio yawned with a lack of interest, Liao Xueqing couldn't do anything good with Daria, she must be very disappointed.
"Can we have a combat meeting?" Liao Xueqing looked at the situation on the table and said suddenly.
"As you like. Dior waved his hand in disinterest.
It was actually brought up by Liao Xueqing, Daria didn't expect her to say this, she followed Liao Xueqing who got up and leaned against the door of the laboratory, Liao Xueqing touched her chin, looking a little bit Dior.
β... You wouldn't have noticed, would you?
"The two didn't swap cards. Liao Xueqing said something that surprised Daria.
"But Dior and I already have two queens of hearts?" Daria cupped her forehead.
"I know, but have you seen the cards of Sixteen Nights?" Liao Xueqing said, "They don't use their abilities, and as for the other thousands, I don't know much, but I'm sure those two decks were like this from the beginning." Long before the game began, they divided the cards into two parts according to their ideas. β
"Thisβ" Daria didn't think about the possibility.
"This is Dior's usual method," Liao Xueqing analyzed calmly, "Dior never said that she exchanged cards with Sixteen Nights, she said, 'It's a two-on-two' game, in fact, she didn't answer your question at all, it was you who restricted your thinking." If she's just deliberately making you think they're using their abilities to weaken your sense of resistance... Dior did this kind of thing. She said that the way to 'win the game' is to get 77 chips, but in reality, as long as they can't continue to play, it's actually no different from winning, it's just that they're misleading us. She didn't say that winning the game means passing the test. β
This guy is really thinking about it, so it's good... Daria couldn't help but take a deep breath and immediately put forward her opinion.
"But Dior keeps winning, and I don't think it's just luck," Daria said, "and I didn't get the same cards as in the board, and I still think the two of them used their abilities to exchange hands with each other." β
"Shuffle the cards twice, I've seen all the cards that have appeared," Liao Xueqing held up two fingers, "Dior was born in the dark streets of an English town, which is full of crime and gambling, and it is not unusual for her to use other means than her ability to make a thousand." β
β......β
"It's a deliberate illusion she's just 'bluffing'. Daria, we'll do it later..."
