Wu Yi was only seven years old that year, and his target was a very famous gambling king in Japan.
The only two hobbies of the gambling king in his life were gambling and card playing.
In order to get closer to his goal, Wu Yi practiced the shuffling and cutting techniques for a month... of course, it was only two or three strokes. Later, the client used a series of connections to send him to the gambling king in the name of "new talent in shuffling and cutting" to perform.
As soon as they met, Wu Yi stunned the gambling king with his kung fu skills that he had practiced for a month.
However, just as the other party was about to be fascinated and distracted, he grabbed the ice pick beside him and stabbed it into the other party's temple, mixing up his brains.
However, Wu Yi certainly couldn't just say that he learned this just to kill people.
"It's just... helping out, just some housework..."
It’s hard to say what’s wrong with this statement. It’s indeed a job at home, but I just have a special interest in it.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Junior Wu Yi's family runs a casino!"
Although it was just fragmentary words, Nanyun quickly filled in (what he thought was) the full picture of the facts.
Upon hearing this, Kouenji couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The laughter was so joyful that the students in the second and third grades couldn't help but look over.
"First grader, what are you laughing at?"
"Of course I'm smiling because I'm happy about something." Kouenji raised his eyebrows.
"…What a happy thing."
"The happy thing is that I got a pair."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of three was thrown loudly and powerfully onto the card bench in the middle.
Wu Yi also smiled.
The third graders' eyes turned immediately.
"Why are you laughing again?"
"Hmm? I have something happy too, is that not okay?" Wu Yi asked back in the same sentence pattern.
"…What are you so happy about?"
"The good thing is that I also made a pair."
Snapped!
There was another sound of cards ringing, and a pair of checks.
Volume 214: Chapter : What's the point of playing cards without cheating
As if blessed with a novice buff, Wu Yi and Kouenji played all the cards in their hands very smoothly in the first round of drawing ghost cards.
Next came the second graders represented by Nanyun.
The joker ended up in the hands of the third graders.
"That's great, a good start."
Wu Yi, who won the first round, seemed to be in a very good mood. While waiting for the cards to be shuffled and dealt, he smiled at Kouenji beside him.
This time, the people in charge of shuffling and dealing the cards are in the third grade. According to the rules, the side that loses in the end will have to re-shuffle and deal the cards.
Hearing this, Kouenji coquettishly pushed back the hair on his forehead with one hand, revealing an expression that said "I know I'm handsome, but please don't be obsessed with me", while also speaking narcissistically.
"Ha, after all, I am so beautiful, it's no wonder that I am favored by the God of Luck."
"So disgusting, rua..."
Although it was Nanyun who suggested that they play cards while chatting, otherwise it would be boring, but the two first-years' blatant behavior of opening champagne before halftime still attracted the attention of the third-years.
It's certainly not a friendly look.
Because of what happened at breakfast in the morning, the third-year group was already dissatisfied with the ignorant first-year students in the dormitory. In addition, now that they had lost, the other side was still openly showing off. It would be a lie to say that they were not unhappy at all.
Nan Yun also noticed this and quickly stepped out to smooth things over.
"Well, it doesn't matter. It's just a handful. Anyway, the rotation mechanism for making breakfast has been completely changed. Just think of it as adjusting the order."
It was said that he was trying to smooth things over, but in fact he was more concerned with comforting the third graders.
But it's not surprising. Maybe the first-year group didn't know, but how could Nan Yun himself not know?
The third years he called over originally came with him to put pressure on the first years. If he was lucky, he might be able to make the six breakfasts a day on these first years.
To put it more exaggeratedly, it is like Liu Bei asking Zhuge Liang to come out of seclusion in order to kill Cao Cao.
Now Zhuge Liang made mistakes due to a cold and lost a game, but Liu Bei, instead of being sympathetic, mocked Zhuge Liang and then turned around and defected to Cao Cao... MDZZ, how is this possible? It's outrageous to think about it.
The same applies to Nan Yun.
So the ghost card drawing session soon came to the second round. The ghost's cards were still dealt to other grades at the beginning. Neither Wu Yi nor Kouenji next to him drew one.
However, what was slightly different from the previous round was that although Kouenji played all the cards in his hand as if he had won the first place right from the start, Wu Yi was left to the end and had a real manly 1V1 battle with a third-year student.
Wu Yi only has one card in his hand, while the third grader has two.
Anyone with eyes could see that the Joker card was in the third grader's hand.
So the question is, which one is it?
Just like what Kouenji said at the beginning, the closer it gets to the end, the more it tests the psychological endurance and acting skills of both parties. It depends on who can conceal their own mental activities better, and who can see through the other person's mental activities more deeply.
"Hey, it's a thrilling choice between the two."
Wu Yi said this deliberately while asking Kouenji beside him.
"Which card do you think I should take, the left one? Or the right one?"
"Well, if it were me, I would probably choose the right one."
Kouenji still smiled cheerfully.
However, the senior high school student's brows tightened slightly.
The next second, Wu Yi's voice rang out.
"Well said, I don't want to, so I choose the left side."
Integrating knowledge and action, he took the card on the left side of the opponent's hand, looked at it, and then successfully played the card.
In the second round, the third grade was defeated again, while the first and second grades successfully survived.
As a result, the third graders lost two rounds in a row. It was decided that they would have to cook breakfast for two days in a row. A faint cloud covered one side of the third graders' faces.
The cards are shuffled and dealt, and the third round of drawing joker cards begins.
This is what is called the law of changing fortunes...or it can also be called the law of conservation of character.
This time, the two third-year students quickly played all the cards in their hands. When the second person had also played all the cards, they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s okay, at least I didn’t continue losing, although I have already lost two games. But as long as this situation continues to the end, it will be the same as when I didn’t decide to play cards in the beginning. Anyway, it’s all breakfast from yesterday or two.
The problem is not big.
"OK, I've finished all of them too."
Wu Yi formed a pair of the last card in his hand and the card he took and threw it on the card stool. He turned sideways to look at Kouenji's hand and couldn't help but click his tongue twice.
"You're... a little dangerous."
"Really? I don't think so."
Kouenji still looked nonchalant, with only one card left in his hand.
At this moment, the only person on the field who held two cards in his hand was Nan Yun.
It’s another thrilling choice between two options, but the opponent is the president of the student union.
"By the way, Kouenji, do you want to join the student council?"
This should have been the crucial moment to decide the outcome of the sniper duel at the middle gate, but Nan Yun took the initiative to start a conversation.
Logically speaking, you should concentrate, hold your breath, and keep silent at this time to increase the psychological pressure on your opponent.
"I think the student council needs interesting people like you, and I heard that you are also very good in academics and athletics."
Upon hearing this, most people present, including all the third-year students, were slightly moved, except Kouenji, who remained calm.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the student union."
"Really."
Despite being rejected, Nan Yun showed no sign of discouragement.
"Anyway, I'll just say this. The student union welcomes you to join at any time. Just let me know if you're interested."
"Hehehe..."
Kouenji smiled without saying anything, then he took a card from Nagumo's hand and threw it in pairs onto the card bench.
In the third round of drawing joker cards, the first grade still wins, and the loser is the second grade.
"Oh my, I thought I could disrupt your judgment by chatting with you, but it seems that this is not going to work."
Nan Yun shook his head helplessly and sighed, while he gathered the poker cards on the card bench, shuffled them, and dealt them out.
Round 4…
Round …
In a blink of an eye, two more rounds of drawing joker cards passed, and the records of the second and third grades changed slightly, with an additional entry under the "lose" column on their respective scoreboards.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the first grade, whose glorious victory lasted until the end of the fifth round. Although there were occasional dangerous situations in the middle, they were all overcome safely in the end.
However, just as the sixth and final round was about to begin, the third years finally could no longer sit still. One of them raised his head and looked towards Wu Yi and Kouenji, then slowly uttered a sentence.
"I'm wondering if your first graders are cheating?"
Volume 215: Chapter : A Great Victory
Cheating?
Catching this key word, everyone beside the card bench in the dormitory raised their heads and looked over at the same time, including the third-year student who was sorting the cards and stopped what he was doing...
However, he was not looking at the two people who were talking, but at Wu Yi and Kouenji who were also sorting the cards like them.
Generally speaking, if one person in a group of people says something really outrageous, everyone else will look at the person who spoke first.
But in this case, it is obvious that other people do not think what that person said is outrageous. On the contrary, they feel the same way.
After all, we have been playing cards for five rounds, and the second and third grades have been losing the whole time, while the first grades have not lost even once.
Having to get up early more often to make breakfast is secondary; it’s mainly a matter of face.
It was obvious that as a senior, I half-forced the junior to play cards with me, which to some extent had bad intentions, but in the end, I was the one who lost the most.
It's just...it's inevitable that people feel like, "Oh my god, wouldn't that make me a hater?"
An imbalance in mentality is inevitable.
"Tsuno..."
Another third-year student frowned and wanted to speak out to dissuade them.
But Wu Yi was one step faster than him.
"Cheating? Of course not. It's just a game of cards. Why would you cheat?"
"..."
Tsuno was silent.
He said this on the spur of the moment and regretted it the moment he said it.
You have to know that cheating is only considered cheating if it is discovered, and right now he can't even produce a piece of evidence.
If you can't win at a card game, you accuse others of cheating, but you can't provide any evidence. What does that mean?
It’s just that I can’t afford to lose!
"Okay, okay, let's just play cards. We're all classmates, it's just for fun."
At the critical moment, Nan Yun had to step out to smooth things over, and at the same time, he winked.
"But to be honest, Wu Yi and Kouenji are really strong. You haven't lost a single game so far. How about changing people and letting us seniors win?"
"Okay, no problem."
