Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Coach Ping is quite sensitive at certain moments.

Otherwise, it would not be able to draw with Wang Defa.

So almost at the next moment, he raised his hand and waved.

hum!

The blue light barrier that was originally visible to the outside world suddenly changed from translucent to opaque.

This situation stunned the coaching staff outside.

"What's the situation?"

"It seemed that the card didn't move just now, is there a bug?"

"It feels like the coach is going to lose."

"I also think that his disadvantage is obvious."

Shi Li inside the blue light barrier also noticed something strange about the other party.

"Director Time..."

At this moment, Coach Ping spoke up: "You still have a regular card that you haven't revealed yet?"

Others may not be able to react for a while, but he is different.

The 6 regular cards are all revealed and destroyed, and the secondary summoning cards are all destroyed. Why hasn't the trump card been revealed yet?

The answer is only two possibilities.

1. The trump card has a special mechanism, maybe it is the one that still has fighting power when you fold the card, or the trump card is naturally blind.

2. The opponent still has regular cards in the game.

To be honest, Coach Ping is more inclined to the second possibility.

He has seen this special card that can be hidden in the ace row before.

It feels like the cards in the first possibility are even rarer than the cards in the second possibility.

At least I had the honor of seeing the second type once, and the first type was purely based on theoretical speculation.

Regardless of the possibility now, there is no doubt that the opponent still has a hole card.

It's no wonder that the opponent didn't admit defeat at such an obvious disadvantage just now, because there is no fear at all.

This reminded him of his previous guess, could the opponent's trump card also be an A-level card?

Suddenly, Coach Ping felt like he was about to lose this game.

"Director Shi, I have a suggestion."

So he looked at Shi Li, and tentatively asked, "How about we draw this round?"

"Um?"

Shi Li did not expect this proposal.

"You see, the situation is like this now."

Coach Ping immediately analyzed for him: "First of all, it's a draw, and both of us can get points."

"In addition, for you, your hidden hole cards will not be exposed, isn't it killing two birds with one stone."

That's actually a nice proposition.

In Coach Ping's view, he sensed a difference in the cards and felt that he was about to lose.

1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss.

If you can get a tie, why not do it.

In terms of points, he prefers to take the insurance route.

Don't look at yourself as the third on the list.

But the guys in the fourth, fifth, and sixth ranks also have more than 20 points, which is not too far away from me.

It is undoubtedly the best to strive for points every time there is an opportunity to get points.

As for Shi Li, of course he knows what his cards are.

Naturally, it was the [Unnamed Sword Spirit] hidden in the trump card column.

To be honest, Coach Ping's proposal is somewhat in line with his ideas.

His main purpose today was to find an opponent with a satisfactory level and try out his new cards.

The result is obvious, [Broken Sword] and [Origin of Hostile Qi] made him very happy and satisfied.

In particular, the performance of [The Origin of Hostility] is quite surprising.

In fact, if you want to win, very early on, when you have revealed the 6 regular cards, you can reveal the [Unnamed Sword Spirit] and join the battle.

He has not revealed it all the time, because he really has the idea of ​​​​keeping his hole cards.

Anyway, he was already in second place, won 11 games, and didn't care about losing one game.

In the end, I didn't expect that the other party would actually be so considerate of himself and put forward such a suggestion.

"But you can't guarantee it."

But when he thought about it, he felt that this matter was still inappropriate.

In theory, of course, I am not 100% sure to lose.

It would be a bit of a loss to think about it after agreeing to a draw later, and then the opponent would reveal that he had a hole card as soon as he turned his head.

"Don't worry, we can make a poker table agreement."

Coach Ping's tone didn't pause at all, and he looked quite skilled, as if he already had experience in this kind of thing.

As he spoke, he saw that he pushed the contract that had been drawn up.

The content is to immediately accept their application for a draw, and then both parties must not disclose any information about the game.

"Good guy."

Shi Li accepted the contract and glanced at the other party's signature: Ping Ju.

Looking at the man's name, everything seems to make sense.

So the two pressed their personal marks respectively.

With this ending, Shi Li felt that he had made a small profit.

Because if the [Unnamed Sword Spirit] is really revealed at the end, it will not be able to defeat the bloody [Vermilion Gunners] in a single duel.

hum...

As the blue beam of light converged, the card table gradually disappeared.

"Coach Shi, Coach Ping, how is the battle going?"

Blue Pi took the initiative to meet and ask.

At this time, the other coaches in the reception room had been given a gag order by him and then driven away.

"tie."

"Shake hands and make peace."

The two replied.

"Hehe, Ping Ju, Ping Ju, I really deserve to be you."

Blue Pi seems to have guessed something, the two sides should have reached an agreement.

He suspected that the draw between this guy and Wang Defa might have happened like this.

At the end of the game, Ping Ju did not leave immediately.

Instead, he followed Lan Pi's invitation and stayed for a cup of tea.

Shi Li had no intention of participating, but was forced by Ping Ju and refused to let go.

I didn't expect this person to be so ignorant under the poker table.

"Director Shi, in fact, I have another purpose for coming here today besides kicking the gym."

But Pingju quickly revealed the reason.

"The city competition is coming soon, and there will be a confrontation between cities."

"That's why the relatively large card halls in some cities will send delegations to some cities for exchanges and learning."

"In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to find out the details of the opponent first."

"Among them, we balance the card hall, and often organize this kind of study delegation."

After saying this, he took a sip from his teacup.

"Equilibrium card house, refers to...?"

Blue Pi caught the point.

Because the Equilibrium Card Hall is a large-scale chain card hall, almost every city in the Equilibrium Region has one.

So he didn't know whether the other party was referring to the equilibrium card hall in this city, the equilibrium card hall in other places, or the entire equilibrium card hall.

"Let me just say it bluntly, the Balance Card Hall in Lanlan City plans to send a delegation over."

"Lanlan City?"

As soon as Pingju said this, Lan Pi immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Lanlan City is the largest city in our area."

"Every pre-city competition in our area is held in Lanlan City."

"And their balanced card hall is also known as the strongest card hall in the region, which belongs to this level."

Lan Pi immediately explained and raised his middle finger.

Shi Li: "..."

"Since they are all in the same card shop, we will definitely welcome the delegation from Lanlan City."

"According to the itinerary they sent, they will come to this city on the 15th of the middle of next month."

"At that time, we plan to reserve the top floor of the club and invite colleagues from all the card halls in this city to gather together."

Pingju said again.

There are more than one clubs in this city, but there is only one that is large enough to provide top-level private rooms.

It was the one that Shi Li had been to.

"Get together? Hehe."

When Lan Pi heard this, he sneered twice: "Didn't you just say that they came to find out the bottom line? I think this is not a good person."

"Speaking of Coach Ping, do you represent this city, or the Balance Card Hall?"

He looked at each other, his thumb was ready to move.

"Are you kidding me? Of course I represent this city."

"Those guys in the Lanlan Equilibrium Card House are always on top, and they are not pleasing at all."

"I curse them that they can't win a game in the city, it's all a draw."

Ping Ju clenched his fist and expressed his opinion.

"But back to the topic, Director Shi."

He went on to say: "All of us, the selected players in the card hall industry this year, are their designated invitees."

"So another purpose of my coming today is to send a formal invitation to you as a matter of routine."

"As for the card hall, it's not my turn to invite. There should be a letter later."

Having said that, he handed out a post.

Shi Li took it over, and saw that the time and place were written on it, the signature was the city's Balance Card Museum, and the content was the cube card exchange and study session.

He calculated the specific time, and estimated that it would be enough for him to cool down the copy once.

In other words, the next [Way of Chasing the Wind] is completely in time.

"Coach Shi, we have to be consistent with the outside world at that time."

At this moment, Ping Ju said to him sincerely.

"That's that."

Shi Li nodded casually and didn't take it to heart.

After explaining the theme, Ping Ju didn't stay any longer.

After a few casual chats, he said goodbye and left.

"Coach Shi, what exchange meeting is this, you have to be careful when the time comes."

As soon as Pingju left, Lan Pi put on a serious expression.

"Oh? Is it really that strong?"

Seeing Lan Pi's appearance, he frowned.

"The balanced card hall in Lanlan City has produced the champion of the city competition."

"And... more than once!"

Blue Pi said so.

The balanced area is so wide and there are so many cities.

It is indeed a very powerful thing for a city to win the city championship more than once.

The most important thing is that this is not just a city that has won multiple championships, but the same card hall in a city that has won multiple championships, which is even more valuable.

"calm down."

Shi Li didn't care much about this, he shook his hand and got up.

In his opinion, the exchange meeting and so on are nothing more than just playing casually, and it is not a formal competition.

What's more, they are even just selected players among the card halls, and they are not the real representatives of the city.

There is no need to do anything serious on the other side.

"By the way, you can arrange it for me."

When he reached the door, he stopped again.

"Huh? Arrange what?"

"Arrange kick-off."

"ah?"

"Ah, what, is this the attitude you should have when the leader tells you to do things?"

"Uh, this...then when do you want to go to the gym?"

"How about leaving in half an hour?"

"..."

After the battle with Ping Ju just now, he wanted to get it done once and for all.

Win a few more rounds to improve your score and form a cliff-like lead like Wang Defa.

It is best to be the leader who can still guarantee the promotion quota even if someone else comes to kick him, and he directly refuses to accept the kick and give away the points.

And... the hole cards will eventually be exposed.

Hiding cards is not a long-term solution.

He believes that constantly collecting hole cards is the way to become a truly powerful poker player.

As long as the speed of collecting hole cards exceeds the speed of exposing hole cards, then you will never run out of hole cards.

so……

"What?! Wang Defa card hall?! You want to play Wang Defa card hall?!"

Hearing Shili's target, Lan Pi couldn't close his mouth.

"Hmm, I have prepared some good things for Curator Wang."

Shili nodded.

Since it will be exposed sooner or later, why not use it on Wang Defa.

He is the strongest player in this session, and no one else can beat him, so even if he loses, he won't lose, right?

It can be said that in the next game, he has no burden.

Besides, I hurriedly entered [Journey to the Woods] for the purpose of getting some monster-eliminating cards to deal with Wang Defa.

Lan Pi said whether he should think twice and decide on this matter another day when Secretary He Xiu is around.

But Shili has made up his mind and cannot be refuted.

When the interest comes, no one can stop it.

So half an hour later, he got his wish and sat in the car bound for Wang Defa's licensing shop.

"Why don't all the vehicles in the card hall have steering wheels?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, he asked Lan Pi such a question.

"Uh, hahaha."

Lan Pi just smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer this question.

Shi Li cannot be allowed to touch the steering wheel. This rule was issued by Secretary He.

Anyone who has watched the Rising Star Competition knows why.

The Wang Defa card hall is still a bit far from the show card hall, almost half of the city.

The car configuration of the brand hall is not high, but at least it is not the slightly suspended style of the bus.

Flying at a height of more than ten meters is still no problem.

For vehicles of this level, the hub console of the Transportation Bureau will use an intelligent system to plan different driving routes and heights for each vehicle.

So there is no such thing as traffic jams and traffic lights.

In less than an hour, the two arrived at Wang De's card shop.

In the car, Shi Li also completed a card-scrubbing session, and made a wave of enhancements to [Destroying Demons and Demons].

In this game, he will challenge Wang Defa with his strongest form.

The scale of Wang Defa's card hall looks larger than that of Xiupai hall.

From the outside, the area is almost 1.5 times that of the show hall.

It's the overall decoration style, which seems a bit tacky.

It is resplendent and resplendent, and on the top of the gate there is a large metal plate with characters: Wang.

"The big characters on his door are made of pure gold."

The two stood still, and Lan Pi introduced Shi Li.

"So don't look at it as gorgeous, but it's not worth a lot of money."

"Worthless? Pure gold?"

"Yes, in our hometown, gold is the least valuable metal. It is soft and produced in large quantities. It is not used by birds. It is only used by the poor in the slums to make utensils."

"Then in your hometown, what metal is the most valuable?"

"No metal is precious. If you want to say that the most precious material is plastic, you don't know. When I first crossed over, I collected a lot of plastic bottles and plastic bags at home. Unfortunately, I realized it later. I can’t go back to my hometown anymore, alas.”

"..., that's enough, stop talking nonsense."

Shi Li brought Lan Pi, because he wanted to bring a younger brother to help run errands and report something, so that he seemed to be a force.

I didn't expect this guy to be so long-winded, and I almost got him involved.

So Lan Pi went in to report, and after a while, he wasn't the one who came out first.

It was Xiao Hou who walked out of the card hall in a hurry.

"Time to stand!"

Seeing Shi Li standing there, his eyes froze.

This guy, at the beginning, Master said that you were too tired in 1V10, so you didn't kick the gym.

In the end, instead of washing your neck obediently and waiting, you actually sent it to your door?

Hehehehe, I really don't know good from bad.

"Hi, first time meeting."

Shi Li followed the rules and went forward to shake hands with the other party: "Are you the curator Wang Defa? You are so young."

He had never met Wang Defa in person, and felt that his voice was somewhat similar to the commentary voice he heard at the New Star Comprehensive Competition.

"Well!"

This move made Xiao Hou clutch his chest in a heartbeat.

Being mistaken for his master is not something he would worry about.

What's frustrating is that the other party doesn't remember me!

"We met in the first round of the Rising Stars Competition, when you were almost (?) eliminated by me."

As he said that, Xiao Hou showed two cards with a slightly vicious expression.

The old man with white hair and beard, dry skin and age spots, sitting cross-legged, [Old Leader].

A burly man with a big knife in his hand and a ferocious look, [Crazy Apprentice].

"Oh, so it's you."

Seeing these two cards, Shi Li finally remembered, and asked after a pause, "Then do you know how to play cards now?"

"Well!"

These words made Xiao Hou cover his heart again.

At the beginning, he said "do you know how to play cards?" but he was hit hard, and he didn't recover for several days.

"If you want to challenge my master, you have to pass me first."

Thinking of this old hatred, he turned his face and let go of the poker table.

hum!

The card table made of blue light blocked between the two of them.

"?"

But Shi Li just looked puzzled and looked at Lan Pi.

"There is no such rule."

Lan Pi shook his head: "Curator Wang is already waiting for you inside."

"Oh, then if you want to play poker with me, you can come to the card show hall to sign up for my class."

Shi Li left a word for Xiao Hou, and walked around the poker table.

"Well!"

Xiaohou covered his heart for the third time.

I am the apprentice of the dignified curator, you actually asked me to go to another card hall to register for your class?

As the two walked away, he vaguely heard their conversation.

"What's the matter with this guy? Are all the people in Wang De's card shop like this?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because you, Coach Shi, have the halo of reducing your intelligence and slapping your face."

"Hey, I have tolerated you for a long time."

...

When Shi Li and Lan Pi walked into Wang Defa's card shop, the staff naturally led the way.

This Wang Defa hall is not only larger than the Xiupai hall from the outside, but also from the inside.

Even, the internal usable area is much larger than it looks from the outside.

This time period is not the peak period of membership activities, but according to Shili's observation, the number of people present is at least three times that of the show hall's peak period.

So it can be seen that this card shop is operating quite well.

I heard that Lan Pi said that if the name of the Balanced card shop was removed, the Wang Defa card shop in this city could be evenly divided with Pingju and the others.

It is this decoration style that is still unflattering, and gold can be seen everywhere.

Finally, when he walked to the reception room, he saw Wang Defa who was already waiting there.

...

...
