Almighty Alchemist

In the card hall on the third floor of the clubhouse, Xiu Yi played cards leisurely with several gentlemen.

It is often said that you can tell a person's character by watching him play poker.

This is very reasonable.

The vast majority of gentlemen are prudent people. They lack the passion of offense when playing cards, but tend to be safe. Therefore, it is reflected in the game that most of the bids are not fierce. It's rare for someone to raise wildly with a good hand.

However, for Xiu Yi, things are not like this. The young man who looks gentle and gentle on weekdays, once at the poker table, behaves extremely fiercely.

He often bets a large sum of money, and his tactics are fierce and sharp, leaving no room for anything.

This is amazing to see.

"Five Gold Witts." At this moment, Xiuyi threw out the chip again calmly.

Anyone who plays cards fiercely will either win big or lose big, and those who are aggressive at the beginning, regardless of the outcome, will always take advantage of it at the beginning.

"The young man's hand is big, I won't follow." Mr. Dodge looked at the cards in his hand regretfully, and covered them all.

Viscount Ladour looked at the cards in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, and announced that he would fold his cards.

They have a close business relationship with Xiu Yi, and their natural cautiousness makes them unwilling to fight too much with each other in the game of cards. So what if the opponent wins a little bit? It's better than tearing face and ruining friendship because of a single card.

Lord Bulger looked at the cards in his hand, then at the cards in Xiu Yi's hand, and frowned: "Three open cards with a golden combination, want me to believe that the hidden cards in your hand are also a golden combination? That's difficult."

The Lance card is not based on the size of the number, but the combination of monsters.

There are a total of 128 cards in the whole set of Lance cards, that is, 128 kinds of monsters. These magical beasts are of different ranks and have different abilities, which can be combined and restrained.

Among them is the blazing bird.

In the Lance card, a single flaming bird is only a level 6 monster, but two flaming birds together are equivalent to a level 9 monster card. This is one of the combinations. All Warcraft cards have combo abilities, but each one is different. And a card can only be combined once, and there are fixed combination rules. In the end, whoever combined the most powerful beast cards will be the final winner.

For example, Blazing Bird and Blazing Bird can be combined to form the ninth-level magic card Double Blazing Flame, and Ice Bird can be combined to form the seventh-level Warcraft Card Ice Fire Bird, and Wind Bird can be combined to form the eighth-level Warcraft Card Wind Fire Bird.

And these combined cards can be combined with other beast cards again. Aces up to level twenty.

If both sides have a combination of trump cards, the remaining decks are contested.

The combination ability, combination times and combination level of each card are different. Someone once calculated that 128 kinds of Warcraft can create thousands of combinations and changes. This makes the playability of this card greatly increased.

Of course, it is impossible for a real monster to make such complicated and complex combination changes, and there is no such thing as a level 20 monster.

At this moment, in Xiu Yi's hand, except for a ninth-level beast card with a relatively high level, the other four beast cards are not combinable with each other.

Of course, there may be only one hidden card, and all other bright cards that seem to be incompatible are quickly connected in series.

The so-called golden combination, that is, the trump card combination with the most chances, has been recognized as a combination model, and there is no need to calculate how to combine one by one to know the result.

And among Xiu Yi's five cards at this moment, there are exactly three cards that need to be used in the golden combination.

"No one can be sure of the outcome before the cards are revealed, right?" At this moment Xiu Yi smiled, he waved, and the maid next to him quickly came: "Give me a bottle of juice."

The maid left in response.

"That's right, but everyone has their own hole cards." Lord Bulger replied, "Is five Kingwitt right? I followed. I don't believe you will have such good luck."

Lord Bulger ordered his chips and pushed them out.

That Ike Jeffrey gave up following the cards, the cards in his hand were obviously not good, no matter how they were combined, they were no bigger than the bright cards in Xiu Yi's hand.

Finally, Lord Sterias, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided to follow the card.

The combination of the hidden cards and the exposed cards in his current hand can make a fourteenth-level beast card.

Whether such a card is big or small depends entirely on the strength of the opponent.

Considering Xiu Yi's usual vicious approach, it is very likely that he is scaring people. So Strias thinks he should be more careful about that Lord Bulger.

"Is there anyone else who needs to raise? There is still the last round of raising opportunities." The dealer asked as usual.

The normal betting limit of a game of cards generally shall not exceed five Golden Witts, but if there is no objection from all parties participating in the final game, unlimited betting can be made, but it must be within the range approved by the other party. After each party bids, the active side can have an additional chance to raise. At this point he can decide whether he wants to place unlimited bets or limit bets.

Huey smiled and said, "There's no need to get no-limit, it will hurt feelings, so I'll just add another hundred Kingwitts."

"I'll follow."

"I follow too."

Earl Strias and Lord Bulger were not intimidated by Huey.

On the contrary, Xiu Yi's statement convinced them that Xiu Yi did not have a golden combination in his hand.

Xiu Yi quickly turned over the two hidden cards in his hand: "Blood-eyed Lion, Ice Demon Scorpion, Wind Roar, Lava Demon King, and Violent Earth Dragon, one of the four gold combinations, a 20-level trump card, and the other two cards form a 12-level deck."

"Damn." Bulger angrily smashed the cards in his hand onto the table.

He didn't expect that the hidden cards in Xiu Yi's hands could really form a golden combination.

Strias also sighed, this kid is not trying to scare people this time.

More than two hundred King Witts were sent to Xiu Yi.

Xiu Yi did the math, after a few hands, he had already won three or four hundred gold verts.

But it seems that few of the high rollers here really care.

After the game started again, Xiu Yi's style of playing cards was suddenly no longer as fierce as before.

This surprised everyone.

Accept it when you see it? The little heir is very calm, he is not as aggressive as he was before. It seems that his ferocity and sharpness are just a means.

He deliberately created a winning pattern that likes to scare away opponents, took advantage of this opportunity to win the opponent hard, and now he has kept a low profile.

He is more cunning than anyone imagined.

"I really didn't expect the young son of the Dardanelle family to be so good at playing cards." The Lord Bulger said, "As far as I know, families that have lived at sea for a long time are not good at playing Lance cards."

"Yes." Xiu replied calmly: "I learned the Lance card after I landed."

"Then you learn quickly."

"My teacher once told me that although the combination of Lance cards is complicated, no matter how complicated it is, it is a plaything invented by human beings and serves human beings. Therefore, a real master player does not play with cards, but with human psychology. It is not necessary to have good cards in your hand every time to win money. The important thing is that even if you get a deck of cards that are so bad that they can't be worse, you can still play them well."

"Well said, your teacher is a smart man. May I know who he is?" Mr. Dodge on the side.

"Barnett, my butler."

"Oh, that wise gentleman, he has learned a lot."

"Yes, I learned a lot from him." Xiuyi said with a smile.

On this issue, Huey was not lying.

A good liar is best at getting everything he wants out of the game, which is one of their safest ways to make money.

Among the scams arranged by Houding, his favorite set of tricks is to make big bets with his opponents. If he wins the bet, then he can continue to cheat. If he lost the bet, he would use his false fame and forged deeds to stake properties that did not belong to him, and then run away when the other party tried to collect the debt.

Due to his excellent gambling skills, Houding can bring himself a large amount of wealth most of the time.

"So, before the Dardanelles landed, how did you usually entertain?" the Viscount Latour asked.

"Oh, speaking of which, in fact, the Sea Family has a way of entertainment that is more exciting and interesting than playing cards." Xiuyi replied immediately.

This answer aroused everyone's interest.

"A very simple pastime called the 'Prophet Game'."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

What kind of entertainment is this, they have never heard of it.

Xiu Yi immediately said: "This kind of entertainment is actually very simple. It can be played under any circumstances, and there is no limit to the number of people. The game method is very simple. One party can predict that something will happen, and the others choose to believe it or refuse to believe it. Those who refuse to believe can propose to increase the bet, and those who choose to believe will join the ranks of predictors. Then there is waiting for the result. The intervention of technology. Once the event happens or does not happen within the specified time, the winner will charge each loser a specified amount of bet. The more people, the greater the win or loss."

"Sounds very interesting, how to play it?"

Xiu Yi threw the cards in his hand and came to the window.

Pointing to a carriage outside the window, he said: "The simplest way to play. One Gold Witt as the basic bet, I bet that the next guest of that carriage will be a lady. Those who believe in me stand on my side, and those who don't believe can stand on the opposite side and raise the bet."

"Ten Kingwitters." The Earl of Stryas said, "I bet the guest in that carriage will be a man."

"Accept the raise." Xiu Yi said with a smile.

The other four guests made their own choices respectively.

Mr. Dodge and Viscount Ladour chose to believe in Xiu Yi, while the other two stood by Earl Strias.

The carriage soon ushered in the guests.

a lady.

"It seems that my luck tonight is really good. Each loser will pay each winner eleven gold-witts." Huey shrugged.

The loser pays obediently.

"It's a very simple game." Count Strias said, "I can't get any fun out of it."

"You can definitely make it more complicated." Xiuyi said with a smile: "You must 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 directly intervene in it."

His eyes fell on the outside of the card room, where several women were chatting.

Xiuyi pointed to one of the girls: "Look at the ballroom, that girl is so beautiful. I guess she should come from a certain big family. Girls from such a big family are usually very strict in their tutoring, and they won't easily dance with strangers. I bet none of us can invite her to dance in the ballroom. If anyone can do it, I will pay him a hundred gold-witts."

Everyone shook their heads, but no one took the bet.

Strias gave Xiu Yi a strange look, and after thinking about it, he said, "Please wait a moment."

Strias walked towards the girl Huey had appointed.

He came to the girl and said a few words softly. To everyone's surprise, the girl really got up and fell into the arms of Earl Strias.

Under the soothing music, the count danced slowly with the girl in his arms, and then sent her back to his seat.

The count returned to Huey's side: "I didn't want to take advantage of you, so I didn't raise the bet. But you still lost a hundred gold-witts to me."

"It's amazing, can you tell me how you did it? Sir." Xiu Yi's expression was very surprised.

"She is my daughter." Earl Strias replied not without complacency.
