To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had No Choice But to Make Games

chapter 174 - Guess


Most players develop unconscious habits when playing cards.Some players, when lying, will make movements to divert others' attention, such as suddenly saying meaningless things or looking in a particular direction.Some players, when dealt a good hand or a bad hand, will unconsciously make subtle expressions or movements.For example, Lu Ze's downstream opponent, Chen Yiyun.Chen Yiyun holds her cards in her left hand and lays her right hand flat on the table.If her hand is very bad, her right hand, resting on the table, will involuntarily clench into a fist.Lu Ze had witnessed this seven times ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) in total.Out of these seven times, Chen Yiyun's hand had either only one target card or none at all, six times.The seventh time was now.Combined with the honest Brother Xu playing two Heaven cards, Lu Ze's judgment was—Heaven cards are basically all in Wang Tianjing and Xu Hao's hands; Chen Yiyun has at most one Heaven card.So he chose to take the initiative and discard three fake cards.Rather than waiting to be defeated, it's better to stir up the waters proactively.Given Chen Yiyun's personality, the probability of her actively challenging Lu Ze when her hand is extremely poor is less than thirty percent.Judging by her current hesitation and deep thought, Lu Ze felt he had gambled correctly.Her hand situation was as terrible as his own!"Miss Chen, challenge him! Don't let him bluff you!"Wang Tianjing, downstream, grew anxious and quickly reminded her from the side."I have four Heaven cards in my hand; how could he possibly have three more?""Even if he did, he couldn't play them all at once! Otherwise, wouldn't he be guaranteed to lose if challenged later?"Upon hearing Wang Tianjing's explanation, Chen Yiyun's brows suddenly relaxed. She looked at Lu Ze, clearly considering challenging him.Xu Hao, beside them, frowned: "Brother Wang, a true gentleman observes the game without speaking! You're being a bit too impolite...""Not at all."Lu Ze smiled and shook his head."Everyone is involved in the game, so how can there be a rule about observing without speaking?"Xu Hao still mumbled: "He has no grudge against you, and he's not your direct opponent. Why go to such lengths? The previous rounds weren't direct matchups either...""Brother Xu is still too honest... There are three possible reasons for doing this."Lu Ze smiled and raised a finger."First, Brother Wang is interested in Miss Chen."Wang Tianjing's old face flushed, and he hastily waved his hand: "Lu, Brother Lu! What nonsense are you spouting...?"Lu Ze continued to raise a second finger:"Second, Brother Wang wants to use Miss Chen to probe my playing style... Personally, I think this is the most likely.""As for the third..."Lu Ze's gaze slowly shifted from Wang Tianjing to Chen Yiyun, whose expression instantly changed.Lu Ze smiled cunningly, raised a third finger, and slightly elongated his voice:"Although Brother Wang is not my direct opponent, he is Chen Yiyun's direct opponent."After Lu Ze finished speaking, the three people's expressions varied.Wang Tianjing focused on the first sentence, Xu Hao on the second, and Chen Yiyun on the third.Chen Yiyun, who had been somewhat inclined to challenge Lu Ze, instantly broke out in a cold sweat.According to Lu Ze's analysis, Chen Yiyun instantly felt that Wang Tianjing was the worst one!Whether he wanted to use her to figure out Lu Ze's playing habits;Or if he wanted to directly harm her...Wang Tianjing would suffer no loss!In fact, as long as she challenged, Wang Tianjing would be the biggest winner!"Miss Chen, don't fall for it! If he were playing real cards, why would he need to explain so much? Just wait for you to challenge him!"Wang Tianjing still wouldn't give up.At first, he indeed wanted to test Lu Ze's limits, just as Lu Ze had said.Now he felt that Lu Ze had a high probability of playing fake cards, and he didn't want to miss such an opportunity to weaken his strongest opponent.Chen Yiyun thought about it.Indeed, that made sense!If he were playing real cards, why would he waste words?Wouldn't he be doomed if she challenged him?Why so much unnecessary talk?At this moment, her urge to challenge him stirred again.However, when Lu Ze heard this, it was as if he had been waiting for a long time; an almost imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, then quickly vanished.Wait...Chen Yiyun, who was about to challenge, suddenly realized something was wrong.Lu Ze gave her the impression that he was waiting for someone to say that exact phrase!Why did he suddenly stop explaining?Wasn't he just waiting for her to challenge him?Thinking of this, Chen Yiyun felt like she was going crazy.What to do...?Are Lu Ze's cards real or fake?Is he trying to trick her into challenging him?Chen Yiyun felt something scratching at her heart and lungs."Thump," "thump," "thump"...Just as she hesitated, she heard three slow, forceful taps on the table.Chen Yiyun instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, seeing Lu Ze tapping the table with his knuckles."Miss Chen, time is almost up."Lu Ze displayed his unchanging smile.At this moment, Chen Yiyun's gaze became blank.Because she noticed that Lu Ze's knuckles had inadvertently tapped between two cards in his hand that were far apart!At this moment, two crucial details came to her mind!First, Lu Ze instantly looked at his hand, then placed the cards face down on the table.Second, when Lu Ze chose to play the first, second, and fourth cards, he didn't hesitate at all!By all appearances, it looked more like he was playing real cards with immense confidence!With that thought, she closed her eyes tightly and threw out the only Heaven card in her hand."One Heaven card.""Miss Chen was still tricked..."Wang Tianjing sighed.He could now see that Chen Yiyun had at most one Heaven card in her hand.Thus, he became even more certain that Lu Ze had played fake cards.Based on his understanding of Chen Yiyun, under such high pressure, cards played at the last second were likely real.Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to challenge.Anyway, this round, Chen Yiyun was already completely at his mercy."Three Heaven cards.""Challenge!"As soon as Wang Tianjing threw out three cards, Xu Hao, his downstream opponent, immediately challenged."Hmph, Brother Lu's cards must be real. I have three in my hand, and there are only eight in the deck in total. How could you possibly play three at once?"The cards were flipped: two Heaven cards and one Immortal card."..."Xu Hao turned to look at Lu Ze in disbelief."Brother Lu, you tricked me!""How can something in the Illusion Realm be called a trick?"Lu Ze shrugged innocently.Xu Hao picked up the crossbow and aimed it at his temple.Although he had experienced it many times, he still felt a heart-pounding thrill when that thing was pressed against his forehead."Click"~The sound of an empty shot rang out, and Xu Hao, still shaken, put down the crossbow.The game continued.The target for this round is: Human."One Human card."Xu Hao discarded a card."Three Human cards."Lu Ze used his old trick again.Still placing the cards face down on the table, still quickly picking out the first, second, and fourth cards,Still that bewitching voice:"Guess, guess~""..."Chen Yiyun's lips trembled with anger.She was furious remembering how Lu Ze had just played her for a fool.How dare he play three cards when he had none?And again this round?Even the card positions were the same?This round, Chen Yiyun held two Human cards and was brimming with confidence."Brother Lu, please be a Human... At least change the card positions. Aren't you just treating me like an idiot?"Chen Yiyun laughed at herself in anger, extending a finger:"Challenge!""Misunderstanding, I'm a good Human..."Lu Ze helplessly spread his hands and revealed his cards.They were indeed three Human cards.Chen Yiyun instantly froze.She took a deep breath, picked up the crossbow, bit her lip tightly, and looked tearfully at Wang Tianjing, then at Lu Ze."Why do I have to be stuck between you two old tricksters...?""Ah!!! Just kill me!!!"
