Baili Xin looked at the friend behind Song Lei again, "What's your item card?"
Friend: "Mine are just a piece of cake, just a treatment card."
Healing card? What a coincidence
Baili Xin rummaged through the pile of cards in his backpack for a while before finding the two mission cards and handed them over. "Take a look. Are these the two?"
Song Lei and his friends approached suspiciously.
More and more people gathered around to watch the fun. When they heard Baili Xin's words, they all stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks.
Wen Ziqing and the blond man on the opposite side, who were confident in their plans, heard the voice and their eyes fell on the two prop cards.
Song Lei's surprised voice suddenly rang out: "That's it! Where did you get it from?"
Baili Xin pointed behind him and said, "Isn't there a fox-faced NPC watching over the ring-tossing shop right at the entrance? Choose from that one."
Song Lei: "I remember you just came out of the game copy today? Is this your first time to set a circle?"
Baili Xin: “Yeah.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Song Lei: "Fuck, how did you do that?"
Seeing that everyone else was so upset, Xia Chi suddenly felt relieved.
Although he is also one of those people who is not calm, but this feeling of being able to grasp all the truth is really great.
The friend asked timidly, "Are you going to give us these two prop cards?"
Baili Xin: "You are just missing these two, take them."
There was another uproar.
Shit, is this the benefit of clinging to someone powerful?!
What kind of money-giving boy is Baili Xin
Just as the friend was about to reach out his hand, Song Lei slapped the back of his hand and said, "Don't move."
"Thank you, Baili Xin," Song Lei looked at Baili Xin embarrassedly, "We can't take this. I know you want to help us. But we deserve it. Only by losing the card can we learn from our mistakes and remember that we must never fall in the same place again in the future."
The little friend showed a painful expression on his face, but he still stood obediently and nodded.
Baili Xin did not insist any longer and casually threw the prop card into his backpack without even looking at Wen Ziqing and the blond man who were trying to make their presence known. "Okay, do you want to accompany us to walk around the area?"
Wen Ziqing saw the points coins in Xia Chi's hand, then bent down and whispered something in the blond man's ear.
Mall redemption points are the only circulating currency in this game, and anything visible to the naked eye can be exchanged with points as long as players are willing.
For example, the prop cards that Song Lei and his friends lost can also be exchanged for points.
Some players lack points, some players lack props, and transactions between players are concluded in this way.
For example, the treatment card can be exchanged for about 10,000 points, while the answer card requires more points, requiring 50,000 points.
The blond man came down from a high floor. The Punk Park on the 50th floor was the entertainment venue that required the fewest points among all the floors. The reason why he came down today was to earn enough points here to become a bargaining chip in the game hall on the upper floor.
This behavior, in other words, is commonly known as cutting leeks.
Of course, it can also be called nesting dolls.
It's not just the blond man, there are often such players on the 50th floor. Some of them are stimulated by the game hall above, and come to the 50th floor to bully the weak to regain the excitement and sense of existence, and some are simply to make money.
The blond man had both.
He is an old player of the Sand Sea Guild. He now lives on the 200+ floor and is considered a veteran player in the Sand Sea Guild.
He was very short of points now. In yesterday's 200-layer game duel, all his points were smashed in. If the Sand Sea Guild had not provided players with 50 basic life points every day, he would not be here today, but in the dungeon.
There was a flash of humiliation in the blond man's green eyes.
He must pay back double the humiliation he suffered on the 200th floor yesterday.
As for Wen Ziqing, it wasn't an appointment we had made in advance, but they just met here by chance.
Wen Ziqing: "The president seemed to have said that whoever can bring Baili Xin into the guild will be rewarded with 100,000 points."
Blond man: "One hundred thousand?"
Wen Ziqing: "Yes, when you joined the club, you only had 50,000. I don't know why the president likes this pretty boy."
The blond man looked at Baili Xin's overly handsome face and sneered secretly, "Doesn't the president always act based on appearance? I have to say, this man's appearance is worthy of 100,000 points."
The president of the Sand Sea Guild is a face-obsessed person, and this is no secret in the game lobby.
Wen Ziqing: "Although I hate him, his appearance is beyond reproach. Do you want to try again? That's 100,000 points."
The blond man hesitated a little.
Being able to see through one's profession simply by looking at his hand movements, Baili Xin's power should not be underestimated.
And he had only completed three copies to reach the 72nd floor? Even the guild leader himself had only just reached the 51st floor after completing five copies.
This means that the seemingly gentle and harmless man in front of him is even more unfathomable than the president.
He came here to beat up the scum and earn points, not for excitement.
The blond man pursed his lips slightly, his eyes secretly weighing Baili Xin's value.
Just as they were about to leave, Wen Ziqing came up again and said, "Look at the guild announcement. The president has increased Baili Xin's joining bonus to 500,000 points."
The blond man's eyes suddenly lit up.
500000!
The blond man remained calm on the surface, but his mind was already eager to open the guild message.
Members who successfully invite player Baili Xin to join the club will be rewarded with 500,000 points, and Baili Xin himself will be rewarded with 500,000 points.
The inviter and Baili Xin himself each received 500,000. The president is really generous!
"Wait a minute!" The blond man called out to Baili Xin, "Are you really not interested in joining our guild? If you are willing to join, our guild will directly reward you with 500,000 mall exchange points."
There were bursts of gasps and uproars all around.
500,000? Is this something these low-level players can hear? !
They may not be able to get 500,000 points in their entire life, but now they can earn 500,000 just by joining a club
What kind of heartthrob script did Baili Xin get? !
"500,000 points," the young man in a white knitted sweater turned his head slowly, with curiosity flashing in his star-studded eyes, "Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little interested."
"Giving such a high temptation, are you going to sign a contract to sell yourself?"
Blond man: "That won't happen. I'm not lying to you. Our guild is the third largest guild in the entire game, so we have great capabilities and benefits. The only requirement is that members must hand in 10 of the points they earn after clearing levels, and they cannot quit easily."
Baili Xin: "How can I withdraw from the club?"
Blond man: "You have to hand in 80% of your total points, or the Guild Master will kick you out of the guild. Of course, if you are kicked out, you don't have to hand in your points."
Baili Xin: "So, no matter how you look at it, members are at a disadvantage, right?"
Wen Ziqing: "Don't be silly. What do you think the Sand Sea Guild is? The president's request is only for the long-term and stable development of the guild. Everyone joins the guild just to have a more comfortable environment to pass levels. In our guild, not only a certain number of dungeon strategies are provided, but also many props can be exchanged. With such a good thing, who would think of quitting the guild, except for a fool."
The blond man frowned and interrupted Wen Ziqing's conversation, "You are an expert. I can see that you don't care about these points at all. I'm afraid you are not interested in those props for passing the level. Is there anything you want?"
Baili Xin remained indifferent, just looking at the blond man indifferently, but did not leave.
He looked at Song Lei, then at Baili Xin who was standing in front of Song Lei, and suddenly said, "I understand. How about this, you play a game with me. If I win, you join the guild. If you win, I will not only return all the props, but also apologize to them. How about that?"
Baili Xin still didn't speak.
The chips on both sides in this game obviously have not achieved the effect that Baili Xin expected.
The blond man gritted his teeth and said, "I kneel down in front of them, admit in public that I cheated, and apologize to them. How about this?!"
Song Lei and the others' expressions changed slightly.
Baili Xin finally spoke, her lips, which looked particularly red under the light, slightly parted, "How do we play?"
There was a determined light in the blond man's eyes, but his expression became calmer.
No matter how strong Baili Xin is, poker is his own battlefield. His skills have long been superb, even if the God of Gamblers comes, he will not be able to discover his skills, how can Baili Xin do that
When it comes to poker, he has absolute confidence that he can beat his opponent.
Song Lei panicked, "Baili Xin, don't do it! I was tricked in the same way just now. After my friend was tricked, I tried to save his face by saying that he would apologize if he lost, but he couldn't lose at all!"
The blond man glanced at Song Lei and said, "Who is Baili Xin? Can you compete with him? He can reach the 72nd floor in three copies. Can you? You are nothing in front of me. I may not be able to beat him."
First show weakness and flatter Baili Xin to relax his vigilance, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to close the net. By the time Baili Xin realizes something is wrong, it is already too late.
Behind the blond man, a spider web appeared faintly. The web was densely spread around the table and slowly wrapped around Baili Xin. As the prey, he was hiding in the spider web, staring at him eagerly.
Baili Xin: "Let's talk about the rules first?"
Blond man: "The rules are very simple, 23 points. The first two cards can be accumulated upwards, and each player can accumulate up to 5 times. The highest point is 23 points. If you exceed 23 points, you will fail directly."
"If the points are the same, the flush wins, followed by a straight."
It's a bit like Blue Star's poker rules, but a little different.
Baili Xin: “I haven’t played it.”
Blond man: "There are many poker games. If you don't like this one, we can change to something else. Is there anything you can play?"
Baili Xin frowned: "To be honest, I have never played poker."
He really doesn't like playing poker. There are many entertainment options, but he has never tried poker and mahjong.
Blond man: "How about playing the simplest one, guessing the card face?"
Baili Xin: "How do you guess?"
The blond man's fingers flipped flexibly in the air a few times, and a deck of cards appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand where there was originally only a joker card.
"Here is a deck of cards. The NPC will shuffle the cards and randomly place them on the table. The NPC will randomly say two numbers between A and K. It's a round-by-round game. Each person has one chance to turn over the cards. Whoever finds all of their cards first wins."
"How is it? This doesn't require any technical skills. It all depends on memory," the blond man poked his temple, "and luck."
luck
f—luck
Are you kidding me
Baili Xin was silent for two seconds, "Okay, then this one."
The blond man waved to the NPC in the waiting area in the distance, and immediately an NPC wearing a ghost mask walked over.
The NPCs here all wear uniform black tuxedos and masks of various colors on their faces.
Like the NPC who was putting the ring on just now, the mask on his face was a fox face, and the NPC who came over from the waiting area had a hideous ghost face on his face.
The mouth was open, revealing white fangs. There were four particularly large teeth at both ends of the teeth, and the canine teeth at the bottom extended upwards. The red-based ghost face had wide-open eyes and was very scary.
This NPC is very tall, almost 2 meters, and he stands out among the crowd like a crane among chickens.
Baili Xin's eyes fell on the ghost-faced NPC and he couldn't help but look at him for two more seconds.
The blond man walked over and gave a brief explanation to the NPC.
The blond man was quite tall, about 185cm, but he could only stand on tiptoe in front of the NPC.
The NPC nodded after hearing this. A voice processed by electric current came out from behind the mask in a cold voice, "OK, player. I am dealer No. 005. I am happy to serve you. Please sign the competition agreement, both players."
very happy
Everyone shuddered.
This doesn't sound happy at all.
The ghost-faced NPC stood straight, stretched out his hand wearing a pure white glove into the air, and two pieces of paper appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Spreading the two pieces of paper flat in front of him, the NPC pulled again and took out two pens out of thin air, shaking them in the direction of the blond man and Baili Xin.
Baili Xin walked forward, took the pen, and glanced at the contents of the competition agreement.
The bet was exactly the same as what they had agreed upon before. The key was the small note at the end.
Players voluntarily sign the agreement, which is deemed valid once signed. Players need to strictly follow the content of the agreement. If they violate the content of the agreement, they will be enforced by the system. The execution method is remote control execution.
Remote control execution
He remembered that some players had told him before that the game system could not control the player's body and mind itself.
But signing this agreement means that you will agree to temporarily hand over control of your body to the system.
So it’s not that the system cannot control the players, but that it requires the players’ consent
Baili Xin's eyes dimmed slightly, he lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes with his long eyelashes, and filled in his name with a stroke of the pen.
Contractor: Baili Xin.
Seeing Baili Xin signed the contract, the blond man's tense shoulders finally relaxed.
He immediately filled in his name, and a smile even appeared on his expressionless face.
He smiled and said through the NPC: "Baili Xin, as a future senior in the same guild, there is something I must tell you."
“Never let a magician touch poker, and never compete with a magician in poker.”
"Because that will only make you realize how mysterious and powerful the magician is."
The blond man smiled softly: "Welcome to join the Sand Sea Guild."
There is a skill to changing cards at 23 o'clock to prevent conflicts with the opponent's cards.
But this game is like playing open-card poker, with all the cards in full view. This game is a paradise for magicians. At first, I was worried that Bai Lixin would not fall for it, but I didn't expect that this guy looked smart, but he was actually a fool.
He took the bait at the first hint.
These 500,000 points were the easiest he had ever earned.
The ghost-faced NPC picked up the agreements in each hand and raised them into the air.
A faint blue ghost light immediately emerged from above the paper, but in just a few seconds, the two pieces of paper turned into ashes and disappeared completely.
Ghostface NPC: "The contract is concluded. The game will be a single round. Ties will be played in a tiebreaker. I will shuffle and deduct the cards now."
As he spoke, he reached his hand into the air again and pulled out a brand new deck of cards that had not yet been opened.
Ghost Face: "This is a brand new unopened deck of cards. I will draw the joker cards from it."
As he spoke, he tore open the plastic seal.
Even through the white gloves, everyone could still see that the NPC's fingers were very slender, and his bony fingers revealed some marks on the gloves that were pressed tightly against his hands.
Can an NPC's hand kill so many good-looking players in seconds? !
The aesthetics of this system are good!
Ghostface's fingertips were very flexible, and he performed the action of opening a deck of cards as if it were a finger dance.
In front of all the players, he took out the playing cards and started to sort them.
The action of Ghost Face stacking the cards was also very pleasing to the eye. Originally, the blond man was a magician, and everyone thought his action of connecting the playing cards into a line and flying them in the air was very beautiful, but when you look at the way Ghost Face stacked the cards, you will know what a true elegant instant kill is.
The poker cards moved back and forth in Ghost Face's two hands, and the cold square card surfaces looked like they were blooming.
There was a flash of surprise in the blond man's eyes, but his eyes were more focused on the card in Ghost Face's fingers.
too fast.
The shuffling action was too fast.
His eyes could hardly keep up with the speed of the cards.
Suddenly, the ghost face sped up again, and the cards with numbers that could be vaguely seen in front of him all turned into black shadows that flashed by.
His brows furrowed unconsciously, and a thin layer of sweat covered the blond man's forehead.
What's up with this NPC?!
The 200th floor is the paradise for high-rollers, but even there, no NPC would do this.
I asked you to shuffle the cards, not to surpass them.
Hold.
Doesn't it mean that the lower the floor, the lower the level of the NPC
What kind of NPC is this? Is this a sweeping monk?!
The cards that he had identified at the beginning finally disappeared without a trace. The blond man simply gritted his teeth and gave up without even looking at them.
He secretly opened the points mall, found the entertainment section, and then found a deck of cards with the same suit as the one in front of him.
He exchanged the poker cards into his backpack, and only after doing this did he look at Baili Xin.
Baili Xin's pair of obsidian eyes were still staring at the NPC's hands, looking extremely serious.
The blond man didn't care too much. Even if he couldn't keep up with the speed now, he could just change the cards later.
The dealer NPC, who should have been the most low-key, turned the initial shuffling of the cards into a one-man show for Ghostface. Ghostface shuffled for about thirty seconds before stopping.
The cards with their backs facing up were neatly placed in one of Ghostface's hands. An electronic voice came out from under the mask: "Please step back, both players. I will arrange the cards."
The big and small joker cards had been thrown aside in advance. The dealer with a ghost face walked to the long table and began to place the cards from left to right and from top to bottom.
The ghost face placed the cards very quickly. The playing cards in his hands were like obedient soldiers. With a slight flick of his finger, the cards lay quietly where they should be.
A family, neat and tidy.
It only took the dealer thirty seconds to place all the cards upside down on the table.
Then, he took out an unopened deck of cards from the void, took out the Ace of Hearts - the King of Hearts from it, shuffled the order and placed them in front of the blond man and Baili Xin.
"Please two players draw the number cards you need to find this round."
The blond man and Baili Xin each drew a card. The blond man drew the 3 of hearts, and Baili Xin drew the Q of hearts.
The moment he saw the Three of Hearts, joy flashed in the blond man's calm eyes.
Although he didn't catch up with the cards at the beginning, he still found a gap in the subsequent card deduction and saw a few cards, two of which were the 3 of Hearts and the 3 of Spades.
The two cards were very close to each other, and he remembered where they were placed.
Then just find 2 of the remaining ones.
turn up
The blond man lowered his head, and his long hair immediately obscured his weird smile.
How can you find it by changing the cards? Of course you have to change the cards.
The biggest loophole in this game is that the cards are not repeated and will not be turned over for confirmation.
In other words, only when the cards are opened can players confirm whether they are brand new and not adulterated.
When the first round of the game is over, the dealer will immediately collect all the cards and destroy them. In the third round, new cards will be used again without wasting time turning them over one by one to confirm whether the card faces are correct.
In a sense, the system allows players to cheat by default.
For card games, the system says that cheating is not allowed, but what it means is that cheating cannot be discovered by the system and the dealer. As long as the skills are so sophisticated that the dealer cannot discover them, then you can proceed safely.
The dealer with a ghost face: "From small to large, please choose the player with card number 3 to start flipping the cards first."
The blond man walked around the table in a pretentious manner, his expression turning from indifferent at the beginning to a slight frown.
His hand reached out to a deck of cards, hesitated for a moment, and then locked it back.
All around, the players watching the show were whispering.
"He doesn't seem to know which card it is."
"The dealer's hand speed just now can be described in one word: unbeatable."
“Brother, I don’t want to hit you, but those are two words.”
"… "
What is a magician
Deception, fraud.
Using the simplest performance to perform the most ingenious deception and disguise is the rule of the game for high-end magicians.
The blond man continued to pretend, interfering with Baili Xin's judgment of himself.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally came to a card.
Pick it up and turn it over, it's the 3 of spades.
The tense expression on the blond man's face slowly relaxed. He gently stroked his chest as if to comfort him, "I'm so lucky."
Xia Chi: “…”
You are so dramatic, are you a dramatic person
When I first saw this blond man I thought he was aloof, but I didn’t expect he was a talented actor.
After the blond man found the cards, it was up to Baili Xin to take action.
Baili Xin also walked around the table, his hand fell on a card, and he flipped it over, revealing it was a queen of spades.
Baili Xin: "It seems that I am lucky."
The blond man's expression changed, then quickly returned to normal.
Xia Chi: “…”
In terms of acting, they are equally matched.
Well, no one should say anything about anyone.
It was the blond man's turn to take action again. This time, he still had a firm grasp on his acting, and once again performed a textbook example of deception.
The two players in the competition looked relatively calm, but they made everyone around them very nervous.
Everyone held their breath, their hearts almost in their throats.
Three of Hearts, right again.
After getting two correct answers in a row, the blond man wasn't very happy.
What he was going to do next was the highlight. He wasn't just spinning around and performing meaninglessly, he was looking for a blind spot that would be convenient for him to shoot.
Using exaggerated performances to divert attention simply made his subsequent movements more harmonious.
Baili Xin did not perform this time. He just swept across the table and directly flipped over a card.
Queen of Hearts.
The blond man's expression changed again.
I don’t know whether the other party did it intentionally or unintentionally, but Baili Xin’s two card reveals seemed to be following his choices.
If you choose spades yourself, he is also a spade.
If you choose hearts, he will also choose spades.
Could it be that Baili Xin really saw the cards and memorized all of them
He was careless and underestimated the enemy.
Cold sweat quietly invaded the man's back. If it weren't for his hair blocking it, others would have been able to see his collar soaked with sweat.
But now he has no choice but to do it.
The blond man continued to walk around the table pretending to be serious. He stood in a relatively blind spot of the dealer's sight. His expression was conflicted and his trembling body seemed to silently express his nervousness and fear.
"He looked so nervous. He really looked like he was dying."
"Do you see the clue?"
"What is that?"
"That beauty seems to be playing a trick on that handsome foreign guy. His card suit is the same as his twice. Can this be a coincidence?"
"Tsk, so what is this called? Trying to shoot geese, but getting pecked in the eye by a swallow instead?"
"This is called the sky is about to rain, and the big boss is going to abuse the scum!"
The rustling sound reached the blond man's ears. His expression changed slightly, but his eyes became more serious.
Under the trembling acting, the blond man's fingertips trembled slightly.
What he didn't notice was that the ghost turned his head towards him, and Baili Xin also glanced at him.
The blond man held the card between his index finger and thumb and turned it over. It was the 3 of diamonds.
"sharp."
"Don't talk about how amazing it is, let's see if the beauty can be chosen this time."
Baili Xin didn't even blink this time and just flipped the card.
Block q.
If the first two times could be explained as coincidence, then the third and fourth times are unacceptable.
The pattern was exactly the same three times, and Baili Xin was really playing tricks on the blond man.
"When masters compete, one of them will always be suppressed. If I only saw the performance of this blond handsome guy, I would definitely admire him. But with that oriental beauty suppressing me, I suddenly feel that I can do it too."
"If you think you can do it, then this isn't a strong duel, but one side bullying the weak. A strong duel is a battle between two evenly matched people, but you see, the blond handsome guy is completely suppressed. He was just pretending to be cool, but he can't continue pretending anymore."
"You can't say that. Oriental Beauty is so stunning because she took the lead. Outsiders watch the excitement, while insiders watch the doorway. Let's take a look."
The audience chattered, but the blond man's eyes grew colder.
He didn't seem to care, but when Baili Xin made his move, he kept staring at Baili Xin.
Anyway, he didn't notice any tricks from Baili Xin. Either the opponent's skills were better than his, or he really memorized every card.
Confidence was hit once again.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
In the repeated confrontations and self-denials, the blond man is far from being as free and easy as he looks.
The collapse of the strong is often more vulnerable than that of the weak.
The weak are used to failure, but the strong are only used to success.
When the third card is opened, only the last card is left.
The blond man was about to repeat his old trick when a broad hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
He suddenly stiffened and turned to look at the scholar with the hand.
The demon mask was pointed at him, and his other hand reached into his sleeve and took out two cards.
The cold voice was filled with threats. "Player, please strictly abide by the rules of the game. I have already caught you cheating once. If you cheat a third time, the other player will be directly declared the winner of this game."
The crowd was shocked.
Cheating
The blond guy cheated
How come they don't know! When did they cheat? How did they cheat
Damn, they just stared with their eyes wide open, licking the looks and shouting "Wow".
The blond man was shocked.
Even the dealer on the 200th floor couldn't detect his tricks, but this NPC on the 50th floor actually saw through them!
People are dumbfounded.
The players watching the show around pointed and talked. The man tilted his head to look. Wen Ziqing, who had been following him from the beginning, also tilted his head.
A look of shame appeared on the man's face, and this time it was no longer a show.
His face was burning, and the shame of being stripped naked and paraded in public was just like that.
Being caught cheating is the most degrading thing a fraudulent magician can do. He originally thought that with his level of skill, he would never be caught.
But today, on the lowest 50th floor, he became the clown!
The ghost-faced NPC showed no sympathy for him and continued to urge him, "Please hurry up, you only have 30 seconds left to make your choice."
choose
What a choice!
How could he possibly choose the right one!
The blond man gave up and picked up a card next to him and threw it back.
3 of Spades.
The blond man was stunned.
This time I was so happy that I was stunned.
Hahahaha, the goddess of luck is indeed on his side!
Victory or defeat is just a matter of a moment, and sometimes good luck is also part of success!
All four were correct. Even if Baili Xin chose correctly, it would only be a draw this time.
He has a third chance. The next time he will be fully focused. Baili Xin can see clearly how the dealer deals the cards, and he can do it too!
It was Baili Xin's turn to flip the cards, and as expected, he made no mistake, the queen of spades.
Next, it’s the extra game.
The author has something to say: Starting with the update, all typos will be corrected after tomorrow.
