"No, no, no, last time we rolled dice, but this time it’s different." Bai Wei wagged a finger, "Rolling dice is still too reliant on luck, we need more strategy, so..."
Bai Wei tapped the stone table.
A stack of exquisite playing cards appeared in front of everyone.
Bai Wei picked up the cards and flipped them open. Fifty-four cards were neatly displayed in front of everyone.
"The game we’re going to play is called..."
Bai Wei said with a smile.
Although it was an unfamiliar game, the rules were indeed very simple, so much so that the three of them understood it in less than a minute.
Simply put, it’s about comparing values.
Everyone has a bottom card, from one to ten corresponding to their respective points, while face cards correspond to half points. However, points are not fixed; players can ask for more open cards, and the total sum determines the winner.
However, no matter how the points are added, the maximum is ten and a half. Exceeding that results in an automatic loss.
Therefore, without knowing the opponent’s hidden card, rashly adding points carries significant risks.
After understanding the rules, the three Corpse Fragment Holders couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Only Bai Wei remained as calm and composed as ever, effortless.
"How about it?" Bai Wei asked with a smile, "If there’s no problem, then let’s proceed with the Rule, like I did."
The three exchanged glances again.
But it was useless because everyone’s bodies were illusory, and they couldn’t clearly see each other’s faces.
Rocky hesitated, contemplating whether to give himself a Thumb Buff before submitting his Rule.
But the question was... does [Disturbance] increase luck?
He really didn’t know.
Before he could make up his mind, Bai Wei leisurely spoke again.
"Mr. Thumb, your [Disturbance] is quite useful, so it’s better not to use it."
Rocky’s expression stiffened, and he instinctively looked up to find the other two already gazing at him.
Damn it! He almost forgot that damn Ulu had already used his [Disturbance] and knew what the Rule was, so he couldn’t cheat again.
But why? This guy, after cheating last time, is now blocking his way?!
Rocky was trembling with anger, but he had to hold it in and then coldly said, "Don’t worry, I’m not as despicable as some people."
"Oh, right, right, right." Bai Wei said with a smile, "So can we start now? It’s about time to deal the cards."
Rocky took several deep breaths to suppress the urge to flip the table, and along with the other two, he promised Taoyuan Village to seal away [Disturbance].
But after seeing the glow of the Thumb dim, Rocky’s inner frustration and anxiety only intensified.
Soon, four face-down cards were placed in front of each person.
As the three prepared to look at their cards, Bai Wei suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, almost forgot, we still need a dealer."
"Yes, players only need to compare their values with the dealer." Bai Wei briefly explained the dealer’s role and then smiled, "I propose that I be the dealer."
Rocky coldly said, "Why? Do you take us for fools, thinking we can’t see you want to win against all three of us at once?"
"The dealer indeed has a chance to win against all three people at once, but can also lose to all three at once. I propose I be the dealer because I have the most chips." Bai Wei said leisurely, "Otherwise, Mr. Thumb, if you act as the dealer and lose... can your thumb be divided into three parts to give away?"
Rocky’s mouth twitched.
"But you only have two Rules." The ring finger said lightly, "What if you lose all of them?"
"Simple, I have a piece of information I can offer."
"What kind of information could be worth a Rule?"
Bai Wei said with a smile.
"Someone took the Tongue and Ear. I know who it is, and I also know... where they are."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three all changed.
"How about it?" Bai Wei, seemingly guessing their reactions, said with a smile, "Now can we start?"
