Poker?

Arthur's expression was just the right one of surprise and surprise.

Then, there was a relief.

The [Exquisite Human Puppet] who was manipulated by the members of the 'Dead Poets Society' immediately laughed when he saw a series of expressions from the young 'psychic'.

"I knew that you could understand what I meant, Lord Credos—

What could be more observant, reflexive and clever than playing cards? ”

With that, this member of the 'Death Poets Society' controlled the [Exquisite Golem] in front of Arthur and began to shuffle the cards with one hand.

The whole stack of pokers is divided into two stacks of the same thickness, and then they are brought together in the middle, and in the sound of a clatter, the two stacks of pokers are combined into one.

Then, the whole stack of poker is divided into three, in a fast and dexterous posture in the palm of the hand up and down, and even every time the up and down alternates, the middle stack of cards will stick to the fingers to complete a circle, when the up and down and the trajectory of the circle appear together, the whole stack of poker becomes like a blooming flower.

In particular, from Arthur's point of view, the stack of cards is face up, and each time it is around, it is a different board.

Start with the ace of spades and end with the 2 of spades.

Thirteen changes, dazzling.

Undoubtedly, this is a very professional approach.

At least, Arthur couldn't find fault with this shuffle.

Of course, Arthur knew better that the other party was pressuring him.

In the face of his continuous failures, the other party was very unconvinced.

The other party wants to win once.

even let him take the initiative to admit defeat -

For example: a different kind of competition.

It is precisely because of this that the other party will show his professional shuffling skills at the beginning, just to let him retreat.

If it was a competition in other aspects, Arthur might have changed it.

After all, as a 'psychic', it is impossible to care about temporary gains and losses.

But poker......

His forte!

As long as the conditions are right, with the [Magic Poker Box], he is invincible in poker.

"You used to work part-time at a casino?"

Arthur asked curiously.

"Well, my family used to run casinos."

The other man nodded rather calmly.

Arthur, however, was not convinced.

In Arthur's view, this is also further pressure from the other party, and it is too simple for anyone to forge his identity to gain some active advantages.

Especially when he takes the initiative to send the steps over, the other party will definitely subconsciously step on it.

Digging a pit?

No, no, no!

It's just the 'medium's improvisation in the face of 'disadvantage'.

"Really?

That was a challenge for me.

I want to check the cards! ”

Arthur said with a smile.

"Of course!

It's the way it should be! ”

Looking at Arthur, who had accepted the competition, the smile on the face of the [Exquisite Puppet] was even bigger.

Although there are some other competitions prepared, poker, this member of the 'Dead Poets Society' is the most sure.

Therefore, the other party did not have any objections, and his mouth was even more rule-talking.

And that's what Arthur wants.

One professional, one amateur.

If the latter wants to challenge the former, he must bind the other party firmly to have a chance of winning - even if it is by tying the other person to what he does best.

Because that's the only way to ......

You'll know what the other person will do and how they'll do it.

It will also make the other party misunderstand what you are going to do.

To put it simply, be sure to let the other person preconceive.

It must also be unexpected.

So—

"Wait!"

When the other party finished speaking, he was about to throw the poker in his hand to Arthur, but Arthur waved his hand and refused, and Arthur motioned for the other party to put it on the ground, about 30 centimeters away from the skeleton steps.

Looking at the position of Arthur's finger, the other party kept smiling and nodding.

According to the rules of the table, one side provides the poker and the other party has the right to check the cards in any way - as long as it does not destroy the poker itself.

Of course, if you suspect that the other party is wrong, you can choose to sabotage.

But there must be conclusive evidence, otherwise you will lose tenfold.

Arthur didn't know anything about this, but his uncle Drake was very good at it, and according to Drake, his poker skills had been passed on to old Charlie, especially in the club, when playing cards with the ladies, he was undefeated, and he claimed to be invincible.

Arthur was skeptical.

However, some of the rules that Drake said, he still remembered.

"Is this it?"

The other party confirmed.

When Arthur nodded, he immediately threw the poker in his hand.

And at the moment when the opponent threw the poker in his hand, the [Void Hand] caught the poker.

Looking at the poker suspended in mid-air, the other party was stunned at first, and then, when he saw the two [Void Hands] shuffling cards and checking the cards one by one, he immediately sighed.

"I always appreciate your prudence."

"No way, you're professional, and I'm ......"

Rumble!

Before Arthur's words could be finished, there was a sudden explosion in the distance in the south town.

Almost instinctively, Arthur turned his head to look in the direction of Southtown.

Seeing this scene, the other party felt a little more proud in his heart.

'Want to keep a marker?'

How could I possibly let you get your wish? ’

The other party can confirm that Arthur's so-called card inspection just now is to mark the card.

Because it was exactly the same as the first time he first counted the cards.

And he has long guarded against this hand!

'Sure enough, it's an amateur!

I'm sure I've won! ’

The other party thought in his heart, and then also looked in the direction of Nanzhen, and said directly-

"That's the group of people I provoked before, and they're using their own way to get back what they think is theirs!"

"Blinded by greed, they won't end well!"

Arthur said this, and checked the cards in his hand again from the beginning.

Obviously, interrupted by the explosion just now, Arthur needs to start from the beginning, but the other party does not give Arthur a chance.

The 'delicate puppet', manipulated by the members of the 'Death Poets Society', spoke.

"Your Excellency Credos, have you finished checking your cards?

Your time for a license check is almost up. ”

Of course, it is impossible to check the license endlessly.

According to the local table rules, 1 minute is the time limit

"That's it!"

Arthur picked up his pace, and the cards behind him were almost swept away.

Obviously, this is a forced memory.

Looking at Arthur's appearance, the smile in the other party's heart was almost overflowing.

The other party knows that he has won.

Arthur was a pure layman.

Thinking of this, the other party couldn't help but speak again-

"Let's draw cards to compare the size!

Best of 3 games!

If you draw a ghost card, you will lose directly!

To make this game even more interesting, we've added a few more to the previous bet – in three rounds, the winner can ask the loser a question.

The loser may not refuse to answer without violating the existing contract, and must be honest.

If you are asked if you have a contract, you can refuse to answer, and it will be considered as a completed answer.

What do you think? ”

Arthur frowned slightly, and thought for a few seconds before nodding.

And at the moment when Arthur nodded, a scroll appeared in the other party's hand.

When the contract is drawn up, it is thrown out as before.

Arthur had one of the Void Hand hold the card, and the other hand took the contract.

After all, as we all know, there are only two Hands of Nothingness.
