Chapter Ninety-Three: The Last Punishment
Jiqi pushed open the hidden door, looked at the girls who were sitting in a precarious position, a little confused, he walked into the room with two boxes of unopened playing cards, scratched his head and smiled, "Are you all waiting for me to come back and start the game?" ”
"yes," Lexington smiled and nodded, a smug smile on his lips. "After all, the Admiral is the most important person in this game, right?"
"yes, if the Admiral doesn't come, we won't be able to start the game." Noah's Ark snorted, staring at Lexington's eyes with a light of refusal to admit defeat, after all, this was a right she had won so hard, how could she give it up so easily.
"Yes, indeed," Avant-garde stroked his long blond hair, his slender fingers running lightly across his cheek, "after all, we're going to have a showdown." She looked at the confident Lexington and Noah's Ark and smiled playfully.
The contestants present at the moment were divided into three factions in order to win the championship prize, Lexington and the dispensable Saratoga, the avant-garde and the prestige around him and Noah's Ark, who fought alone for his own interests, and the Admiral Jiji, who did not know that he was the prize of the competition.
Jiqi looked at the confident girls, a little confused. Isn't this just a very ordinary game, do you need to take it so seriously? He muttered to himself as he tore open the package of the poker. "So what card game are we playing?" He opened the poker box and asked Lexington and the others for their opinions.
"So many people want to play, so let's play the ghost card, so that it will be better to win or lose." Lexington counted the number of people present and looked at Wales beside him, and the two made eye contact for a moment, stating their decision.
"I have no objection, after all, it's the game I'm best at." Noah's Ark nodded in agreement.
"I don't care, after all, I trust my luck." The avant-garde shrugged indifferently.
"Draw ghost cards?" Prestige nodded, "That's fine, after all, this way of playing depends mostly on your luck." ”
"Since everyone has no opinion, let's get started. Plus the Admiral and we have a total of six people, then we will decide the winner in six rounds, if there is a tie, the person who is tied will play the winner in the extra corner. Saratoga: If you're on your side, it's up to you to deal cards and keep track of everyone's points. Lexington handed the two pokers in Jiqi's hand, which had been washed and eliminated from the four kings, to his sister's hand, heralding the official start of the Admiral's Ownership Tournament.
As the referee, Saratoga first gave her sister a card, after all, as a younger sister, she still wants to see her sister win, and maybe she can take the opportunity to have a close encounter with the Admiral that she has never had before. She hung her head and didn't dare to look at Noah's Ark, which was pale-faced in front of her.
Noah's Ark looked indignantly at the cards in front of him, and looked at Saratoga with a burning fire in his eyes. Okay, you Saratoga, forget about betraying me, don't give me the cards first, don't even think about me for emotional counseling when you look for me in the future, no, double the cost of counseling! She gritted her teeth in her heart.
The two decks of cards began to decrease one by one, and were evenly distributed to each person in clockwise order, and out of so many cards only one was a whiteboard card, the so-called ghost card. After throwing out the pairs of cards in their hands, and then according to the order of the cards each person can draw cards from their left or right, draw pairs and throw them into the card pile, who has no cards in their hands first who is the winner, and you can win the game and get the points that determine the champion.
Everyone picks up the pile in front of them and throws them on the ground in pairs to form a pile, and then the game begins.
Lexington looked at the remaining cards in his hand and calculated in his mind. In fact, to be honest, he really didn't want to be the first to be dealt cards by his sister, but that stupid sister is a math idiot, and if her sister has a little brains, she won't give her sister cards first, because it's not helping her but dragging her back. Due to the number of people and the number of cards, everyone gets the same number of cards, and themselves, Noah's Ark, and the avant-garde have to play one more card than the others, and sometimes the extra cards can be the straw that breaks the camel's back. She pinched the cards in her hand and looked solemn.
Perhaps because of luck, she saw the plain white ghost card in her hand, which means that it was difficult for her to win the game in the first place, after all, it was difficult for the opponent to draw away the ghost card in her hand without knowing it. Lexington exhaled silently, without any expression on her face, after all, she couldn't let others know that the lonely ghost card was in her hands.
Lexington looked around, because she was the first to draw cards in order. She thought for a moment and drew a card from the hand of Noah's Ark on her left.
As luck would have it, I drew a 2. Lexington saw that there was a lone 2 in her hand waiting to be paired, and she threw a pair into the deck to signal Noah's Ark to start drawing.
Compared with Lexington, who looked solemn, Noah's Ark's face was also much better-looking, she hummed a small tune in her mouth, looked at the thickness of the cards of the people around her, and then decided to start with the Admiral sitting next to her, she stretched out her hand, drew the last card in the Jiqi hand, and threw a pair of cards into the pile with a jump.
"Is it my turn?" Jiqi looked at the order of order, nodded and thought about whose cards he was going to draw.
And Noah's Ark, who was sitting next to Jiqi, smiled excitedly, "The Admiral smokes me, smokes mine!" She brought the few cards she had left in her hand to her stupid Demon King, a silly smile on her face.
"That'...... Then smoke yours. Jiqi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled a random card from Noah's Ark's hand. However, Lady Luck didn't seem to favor him, and the cards he drew were the same as the ones in his hand. He shrugged helplessly, turned his head and whispered, "It's time for you to draw cards." ”
"Is it my turn?" The avant-garde pinched her long blond hair and nodded, she looked at the people around her, pinched her chin and looked at her hand in serious thought. Now the least hand is prestige, only five, and the most is Lexington with ten, and she just threw a pair out, leaving only nine. But now there were only two choices in front of her, one was the Admiral who had just drawn a card and the prestige who sat next to her, she exhaled and decided to draw a card from the Admiral's hand. Because she didn't want prestige to win the game so easily, after all, she was also the girl who had a longing for the Admiral, and she also wanted to be alone with the Admiral at night.
I was lucky enough to draw a card that I could pair with my hand. The avant-garde smiled and threw a pair, looking at the people around her with interest, because she was now the one with the least hand and prestige, and the pressure on her from the game was much less instantaneous. She looked at Prestige and signaled that it was her turn.
"Can you only draw the cards of your own left and right?" Prestige looked at her hand and asked, since it was her first time playing this game, she only had a general understanding of the rules, not details.
"Yes, you can't draw cards casually, you can only draw the cards of your own left and right people." Lexington explained.
"I see, then I'll draw the Welsh card." Prestige nodded, drew a card from Wales' hand with a white-gloved hand, her hand did not decrease, but increased to six, she bit her lip, there was no frustration on her face, she participated in this game just to find it interesting for the prize of the champion, winning or losing was not so important to her.
Wales chose Lexington, who had the most hands, and as a sister who was also a wedding ship, she didn't want Lexington to be out so early. Luck seemed to be behind her, and she threw a pair of cards at the pile. At the end of the round, the one with the least hand was the avant-garde, who had the biggest advantage on the field, while Jiqi became the one with the most hands.
As time passed, Fame was able to draw a pair of cards in each subsequent round, making her the first to finish her hand. And Lexington, who had a disadvantage in the ghost card at the beginning, fought fiercely with Jiqi to the end, and Lexington defeated Jiqi by a narrow margin, so he became the last person to hold the ghost card.
"Admiral, do you know that we have agreed in advance that the last one will be punished." Lexington smiled evilly as he looked at Jiqi holding the whiteboard cards, his brows and the corners of his eyes twitching with pride.
"Punishment? How did I not know? Ji Qi looked confused, from the time he got the poker to the time he entered the door, he hadn't heard anyone say that there was a penalty rule for the last place, could it be that he didn't make the rules with them before? He asked inwardly.
"yes, that's the rule we made together." Lexington pinched the cards to cover his mouth and smiled, blinking his eyes to hint at the tacit girls around him.
"Yes, yes, this is what we said a long time ago, Admiral, you can't cheat!" Noah's Ark was the first to stand up, after all, the Admiral as a champion prize is indispensable, if there is not even such a special prize, who would be interested in competing for the first place?
"That's true, we settled on this rule before the Admiral came, and if the Admiral didn't want to, let's not say it." The avant-garde also spoke out on Lexington's side.
"Well, since it's a pre-established rule, I can't fail to follow it, Lexington, you say, what is the punishment for the last place." Ji Qi nodded and admitted defeat, after all, he was a good admiral who cared for the ship's mother, and he couldn't sweep everyone's interest.
Lexington, who was worried that he couldn't find a reason, looked at the admiral, who was as innocent as a good child, and the corners of his mouth rippled. "This punishment is very special, the decision we made in advance is that the ship's mother who won the championship has the right to get the Admiral tonight."
"Ownership?" The corners of Jiqi's mouth twitched a little, he didn't expect that he would be so sought-after in the town guard mansion, so hot that every ship girl wanted to get the opportunity to be alone with him, he now seemed to understand that this was clearly a pit, and he dug it for himself to jump. He was dumbfounded, turned his head and asked Lexington timidly, "So what are you going to do if I am the one who wins in the end?" ”
"Then draw lots to determine who is the lucky one," Lexington seemed to have a plan for a long time, she smiled at Ji Qi and said, "Admiral, don't even think about running away tonight, after all, we are all full of longing for you" She stretched out her hand holding the card and picked up Ji Qi's chin, with a domineering look of "We are going to make you Admiral today, don't even think about running away".
In an instant, Jiqi's face turned pale, like a cool piece of rice paper.
