Vol 3 Chapter 51: Lampa Club (middle)

In the card room on the third floor of the club, Xiu Yi and some gentlemen played cards leisurely.
It is often said that when you look at a person playing cards, you can see his character.
This is very reasonable.
Most gentlemen are stable people. They lack the passion when playing cards and tend to be safe. So reflected in the game, most of the bidding is not fierce. Few people raise wildly with a good hand.
However, for Xiuyi, things are not like this. On average, the gentle-looking teenager, once at the poker table, behaved extremely fiercely.
Every time a large bet is placed, the technique is fierce and sharp, leaving no room for it.
This is amazing.
"Five Kimvites." At this moment, Xiu Yi lost his chips calmly again.
Those who play cards fiercely either win or lose, but are generally aggressive men, and regardless of the outcome, they always have to take advantage at first.
"The lad is big, and I won't follow." Mr. Dodge looked at the cards in regret and covered them all.
Viscount Radul looked at the cards in his hand, shook his head with a bitter smile, and announced the fold.
They have a close business relationship with Xiu Yi, and they are cautious in nature, making them unwilling to do too much hand-to-hand combat with each other in the hand. What if you let the other side win a little? It's better than tearing the face because of a card, and breaking the friendship.
Lord Barge looked at the cards in his hand, then looked at the cards in Xiu's hand, and frowned: "Three cards of the golden combination, want me to believe that the dark card in your hand is also a golden combination? That's difficult. "
The Lance card is not based on numbers, but on the combination of Warcraft.
There are a total of 128 Lance cards, which is 128 kinds of Warcraft. These Warcraft grades are different and have different abilities. They can be combined and restrained.
Among them is the Blazing Bird.
In the Lance card, a single Flaming Bird is only a level six Warcraft, but two Flaming Birds together is equivalent to a level nine Warcraft card. This is one of them. All Warcraft cards have combo abilities, but they are all different. And a card can only be combined once, and there are fixed restrictions on the combination rules. In the end, whoever makes the best beast card is the most powerful, and who is the final winner.
For example, Blazing Birds and Blazing Birds can be combined into a Level 9 Magic Card Double Blazing Flame, Ice Birds can be combined into a Level 7 Warcraft Ice Firebird, and Wind Birds can be combined into a Level 8 Warcraft Firebird.
These combined cards can be combined with other beast cards again. Ace up to level 20.
If both players make an ace, they will compete for the remaining ace.
The combination ability, number of combinations, and combination level of each card are different. Someone once calculated that 128 kinds of Warcraft can create thousands of combinations of changes. This greatly increases the playability of such cards.
Of course, real World of Warcraft is impossible to achieve such a complicated and complicated combination change, and there are no twenty-level World of Warcraft.
At this moment Xiu Yi's hand, in addition to owning a nine-level beast card with a relatively high level, the other four beast cards do not have a combination with each other, that is, if his dark card does not improve, Then he can only rely on the level of the beast card itself to determine the outcome.
Of course, there may be only one hidden card, and all other bright cards that can't be combined can be quickly connected.
The so-called golden combination, which is the trump combination with the most opportunities, has been recognized as a combination mode. You don't need to calculate how to combine one by one to know the result.
Among the five Ming cards at Xiuyi at this moment, there are exactly three cards that need to be used in the gold combination.
"No one can be sure of the result until the hole cards are spread, right?" Xiu Yi laughed at this moment, he waved, and the maid next to him quickly came: "Give me a bottle of juice."
The maid left.
"That's right, but everyone has their own cards." Lord Barge replied, "Is Five Kimvitt right? I followed. I don't believe you will have such good luck."
Lord Barge ordered good chips and pushed out.
That Ike Jeffrey gave up the call, his cards were obviously bad, no matter how they were combined, they were no bigger than Xiu Yi's bright card.
Finally, Lord Strias, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to follow suit.
The combination of the dark and bright cards in his current hand can make a fourteenth-level beast card.
This kind of card is big or small, and it depends on the strength of the opponent.
Considering Xiu Yi's usual fierce behavior, he is likely to scare people. So Strias thought he should be more careful with the Lord Barge.
"Does anyone else need to raise? There is another chance to raise." The dealer asked as usual.
The normal limit of a round of cards is generally not more than five King Witts. However, if there is no objection from the parties in the final round, you can make unlimited bets, but it must be within the range approved by the opponent. After the parties bid, the active party can have an additional raise. At this time he can decide whether he wants to make unlimited bets or cap bets.
Xiu Yi smiled and said, "There is no need to get a no-limit bet, it will hurt feelings, so I'll add another one hundred Kimvit."
"I follow."
"I follow too."
Earl of Strias and Lord Barge were not intimidated by Xiu Yi.
On the contrary, Xiu's statement convinced them that there was no golden combination in Xiu's hands.
Xiu Yi quickly opened the two hidden cards in his hand: "The Blue Eyed Lion, the Frozen Demon, the Wind Roar, the Lava Demon, and the Raging Earth Dragon, one of the four golden combinations, the twenty-level ace, and the other two cards. Into a twelfth level deck. "
"Hell." Barge smashed the cards from his face onto the table in anger.
He did not expect that the hidden cards in Xiuyi's hands could really form a golden combination.
Strias also sighed, this kid didn't frighten people this time.
More than 200 Kimvits were brought to Xiuyi.
Xiu Yi calculated it. After a few hands, he had already won three or four hundred gold medals.
But it seems that few of the high-flyers here really care.
After the game started again, Xiu Yi's card style suddenly stopped as sharp as before.
This surprised everyone.
Do you accept as soon as you see it? The little heir was so calm, he wasn't as aggressive as he had been before. It seemed that his ferocity and sharpness were just a means.
He deliberately made a winning pattern that likes to scare off his opponents, used this opportunity to win the opponent fiercely, and now has a low profile.
He is more cunning than others think.
"I really didn't want the little boy who arrived at the Daniels to play cards so well." Lord Barge said, "As far as I know, families who have lived at sea for a long time are not good at playing Lance cards. "
"Yes," Xiu said calmly, "I learned the Lance after landing."
"Then you learn fast."
"My teacher once told me that although the combination of Lance cards is complex, no matter how complicated, it is a plaything invented by humans and serves humanity. Therefore, the real masters of playing cards are not people, but people. Psychology. It's not that you have to have a good card every time to win. What's important is that even if you get a bad card that can't be worse, you can still play it well. "
"That's great, your teacher is a smart guy. Can I know who he is?" Mr. Dodge on the side.
"Barnet, my housekeeper."
"Oh, that wise gentleman, he is really knowledgeable."
"Yes, I learned a lot following him." Xiu Yi said with a smile.
On this issue, Xiu did not lie.
A good liar is best at getting everything he wants from the hand. This is one of their safest ways to make money.
In Hoding's scam, his favorite set of tricks is to gamble with opponents. If he wins, he can continue to lie. If he loses, he will use his false fame and forged contracts to pledge some properties that do not belong to him, and then run away when the other party tries to collect debt.
Due to his excellent gambling skills, most of the time he can bring himself a lot of wealth.
"So, how do you usually entertain before the Dardanelles land?" Asked Viscount Radul.
"Oh, when it comes to this, in fact, the maritime family has a more exciting and fun way of entertainment than playing cards." Xiuyi immediately answered.
This answer aroused everyone's interest.
"A very simple pastime is called 'the prophet game'."
Everyone looked at each other.
What entertainment is this that they have never heard of.
Xiu Yi immediately said: "This kind of entertainment is actually very simple, it can be played in any situation, and there is no limit to the number of people. The method of the game is very simple, one party can predict one thing will happen, and the other people choose to believe or reject Believe. Those who refuse to believe can raise their bets, and those who choose to believe enter the ranks of prophets. Then they wait for the results. During the waiting of results, no one can interfere with it. Then it is another matter, we do not consider it as cheating, but only if there is no use of any magic or alchemy intervention. Once the event occurs or does not occur within the specified time, then the winner will charge each loser a specified amount of bets . The more people, the bigger the win. "
"It sounds interesting. How does it work?"
Xiu threw the cards in his hand and came to the window.
He pointed to a carriage outside the window and said, "The easiest way to play. A goldwaite is used as a basic bet. I bet that carriage's next guest will be a lady. People who believe in me stand on my side. Disbelievers can stand on the opposite side and raise. "
"Rise ten Kimvits," said the Earl of Strias, "I bet the guest on the carriage will be a man."
"Accept the raise." Xiu Yi smiled.
The other four guests made their own choices.
Mr. Dodge and Viscount Radour chose to believe in Xiuyi, while the other two stood by Earl of Strias.
The carriage quickly welcomed guests.
A lady.
"It looks like I'm really lucky tonight. Each loser will pay eleven King Witt to each winner." Xiu shrugged.
The loser obediently pays.
"It's easy to play," said Earl Strias. "I can't feel any pleasure from it."
"You can make it more complicated." Xiu Yi laughed: "To know that the prophecy is not important, what is important is the event itself. For example, we can directly designate a more difficult event or even get involved directly. "
His eyes fell outside the pavilion, where several ladies were chatting.
Xiu refers to one of the girls: "Look at the ballroom, the girl is so beautiful. I guess she came from a big family. Girls like this big family are generally very strict in their tutorship, and they are not strangers. People dance. I bet no one of us can ask her to go to the ballroom to dance a song. If anyone can do it, I'll pay him a hundred Kimvits. "
Everyone shook his head, and no one took the bet.
Strias took a strange look at Xiuyi, and after thinking about it, he said, "Please wait a moment."
Strias walked towards the girl designated by Xiuyi.
He came to the girl and said a few words lightly, unexpectedly, the girl actually got up and fell into the arms of Count Strias.
Under the soothing music, the Earl danced slowly to the girl and sent her back to her place.
The count returned to Xiuyi: "I didn't want to take advantage of you, so I didn't raise it. But you still lost me a hundred Kimvits."
"It's amazing. Can you tell me how you did it? Sir." Xiu Yi's expression was surprised.
"She is my daughter." Count Strias replied smugly.
