Chapter 643: The Rules of the Synodic Month
At this moment, the words that the earth monkey had said before opening the cards echoed in Qi Xia's ears.
He said that out of the more than 30 cards, only one would give him victory.
And that card is "Heat."
This means that "Heat" is special, or that it is special in this round.
But what is so unique about this "summer heat" that makes it impossible to see it in the other 30 cards?
"That's not right...... There are still limitations to the way of thinking...... "Qi Xia looked at the scattered cards on the table, and the ground monkey was putting away the cards one by one.
One possibility is that other lethal cards have already appeared at the table, so it's not that there's anything special about Heat, but that Heatstroke is the only card that doesn't show up and can beat the Monkey.
He quickly recalled the cards that the monkeys could see at the time.
The first thing he can see is the public card "Zhongyuan" in the center of the table, followed by the "Summer Solstice" and "Dragon Boat Festival" in his hand.
Then there are everyone's cards, Zheng Yingying's "Frost Fall", Tiantian's "Heavy Snow", Xiao Cheng's "Qingming", Chen Junnan's "Lichun", Qiao Jiajin's "Great Heat", and his own "Qixi Festival".
Qi Xia felt that his mind was still a little messy, and it seemed that there was still an important clue missing.
He narrowed his eyes and brought all the cards to his mind, and the many cards turned into groups of numbers in his mind.
"Ah......h
When the ground monkey said this, it happened that Qiao Jiajin showed his "dark card".
So is there a possibility...... The ground monkey came up with this idea when he saw Qiao Jiajin's "Dark Card" and "Liqiu"?
"In other words, "Liqiu" is also one of the cards that can allow me to win......" Qi Xia slowly closed his eyes and said silently in his heart, ""Liqiu" ...... "Summer" ......"
What do these two cards have in common? Why can you let yourself win?
In just a few seconds, Qi Xia opened his eyes, and the clues in his mind were like suddenly connected circuits, which gradually became clear at this moment.
This year's "beginning of autumn" should be "the eighth day of the seventh month".
And the "summer heat" is "July 23".
These two cards are the only two "July" left in addition to the "Tanabata" in his hand and the "Zhongyuan" in the center of the table.
Aside from these two cards, there is no other card for "solar terms" or "festivals" that come from July, so when Qiao Jiajin reveals "Beginning of Autumn", it is obvious that the Earth Monkey thinks that there is only one card of its kind left.
But just now Qi Xia has deduced that this game has nothing to do with the "month", after all, the ground monkey holds a card from May, and dares to bet with the card in July in his hand, so where will the key point be?
"The key point is not 'July', but the number 'seven'......"
Qiao Jiajin watched Qi Xia fall into thought, waited patiently for a while, and waited until Qi Xia's complexion completely slowed down before asking, "Liar minifigure, do you know the rules?" ”
Qi Xia turned his head, thought for a few seconds, and said, "The Earth Monkey's 'Four Fives' lost to my 'Four Sevens'. ”
"Shh......?" Qiao Jiajin was stunned, "Texas Hold'em?" Four-of-a-kind? ”
"I don't understand Texas Hold'em...... What are the rules? Qi Xia asked.
"It's a hassle to explain...... In short, it's ......" Qiao Jiajin was suddenly stunned halfway through speaking, "Hey! Cheat! It's really like Texas Hold'em! ”
"Oh? Similar to it? ”
"It can only be said that the form is a bit like ......," Qiao Jiajin scratched his head and recalled, "but the players have more cards than us, and there are more community cards in the center of the table than us." If you say that "four sevens" can win "four fives", this rule is more like Texas Hold'em, which is a large type of hand, called "four-of-a-kind", which means that there are four identical numbers, but when two people have four identical numbers, the winner is determined by whose number is higher. ”
"I see." Qi Xia nodded, he had never participated in gambling games, so naturally he was not clear about the rules of this kind of poker.
"So you think this game is just Texas Hold'em?" Qiao Jiajin also showed a thoughtful look, "It is to use numbers to make up various combinations to compare the size with the other party, in general, it is a bit similar to the rules of mahjong, as long as you can make up a fixed combination, you can win the game, such as "straight", "four", "three" and so on. ”
"It's not that simple......," Qi Xia shook his head, "It's just that I won this game, so I can only deduce this rule, but it should be quite different from what you said about Texas Hold'em." ”
After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin slowly turned his head over and asked in a low voice, "What's the difference?" ”
"If we convert each of our cards into numbers, we will theoretically get a few numbers for each card." Qi Xia said, "If it's "Great Cold", from the lunar calendar, it's "December Twenty-three", and if it is converted into cards, it is four, which are "one", "two", "two", "three", do you understand the problem? ”
"I don't understand." Qiao Jiajin replied decisively.
"It's just that the number of cards in everyone's hand will vary greatly." Qi Xia said, "For example, the "Dragon Boat Festival" is the "fifth day of the fifth month of May", which is converted into digital cards only "five" and "five", and both of them also got a "synodic moon", but "Da Han" is equivalent to getting four cards at one time, but "Dragon Boat Festival" is only two. This change will lead to the final opening of the cards, the number of numbers that each person can use is different, some people have a large number of numbers in their hands can be combined into a variety of cards to compare the size of the opponent, but some people cannot. ”
"I seem to understand a little...... Qiao Jiajin said while thinking, "Trick people, so the bigger the month, the bigger the card, this statement is true on some levels." ”
Qi Xia also nodded after listening, just now the ground monkey was questioning why Chen Junnan wanted to bet with a "Lichun", precisely because "Lichun" only has two numbers, "one" and "six", these two numbers have no way to form a "pair", and even the possibility of "straight" is very small.
"Fist...... Now I need to know......" Qi Xia turned his head to look at Qiao Jiajin, "What is the biggest combination in this Texas Hold'em rule?" ”
Qiao Jiajin thought for a while and said, "This seems to be where I feel a little confused...... That's where this deck differs most from regular Texas Hold'em......"
"Oh? What is it? ”
"It's a Royal Flush."
