Chapter 2581 The teacher’s praise and the all-out poker players
Chapter 2580 The teacher’s praise and the best poker player
Even the loyal witch apprentice couldn't help but look at his teacher when faced with this kind of temptation.
Miss Winslet has been paying attention to the conversation between the two. Although she does not play cards very much, she also knows the name of the "Foundation Series". She is very considerate of her apprentice:
"Charlotte, then you will play a game with Shade. If you win, you will temporarily help him keep this card. If you lose, I will give the 'Legendary Player' some other prizes. I originally promised to draw him
Of oil paintings, you can add one more."
"No, miss, how can I ask you to help me bet? Please let me use my special cards to bet!"
Miss Bell said immediately, her tone of voice was full of anger and lacked the gentleness she had always had.
Miss Winslet pretended to be angry:
"Is my oil painting not as valuable as your playing cards? Charlotte, I make the decision here, and I don't use your playing cards."
Then she looked at Miss Denister:
"Just think of it as tonight's entertainment. Do you want to guess who can win?"
The red-haired girl smiled and shook her head, because there was no need to guess at all.
The card game was played on the sofa. Shade and Miss Bell sat on the short sofas at both ends of the coffee table, and the other two ladies sat on the long sofa to act as referees.
The game adopts the most classic points system, with a total of three rounds. The winning score is 1 point, the loss is 0 points, and the busted card is -1 point. This requires that the cards should not be blown as much as possible during the game.
When the two of them were exchanging decks and shuffling the cards, Shade also declared in advance:
"I currently have 38 special rule cards in my deck. If you think this is unfair, I can take out some of the special cards and only keep the founding series."
Since there were more than thirty special rule cards in the deck, Shade had never used a "full" deck to play cards with others, even in Tobesk's spare time.
Miss Bell looked down at Shade's deck of cards in her hand and was startled for a moment, then quickly shook her head and "snatched" the deck from Shade's hand:
"Keep all the special cards. I want to try it out. There are a total of six special cards in my deck, including [Racial Legend·Elf]."
After both parties shuffled the cards, the game officially began. Both of them fanned out their decks on the coffee table, and then each took out their first two cards.
"Speaking of which, what does Carina think of you playing cards?"
The witch on the side asked Shade curiously.
"I don't smoke or drink, and my usual hobbies are just raising cats and playing cards occasionally, and she doesn't mind. Carina often says that my life is too monotonous, but I really don't like other things."
Shade looked at the bright card in his hand——
[Phantom Opera House Silent Audience], suit: Moon 12. If when this card is drawn, the previous card is also the moon suit, all players except yourself will be forced to stop playing in this round.
He showed the card to the girl across the table, and then inserted the card into the gap between the first hidden card and the coffee table.
"Don't you like operas and concerts? Or horse racing, salons, and banquets? Look at your face and perfect figure. Even if the noble girls in Tobesk knew that you were Carina's lover, they would definitely give you a gift.
Passed the note. Oh, you received a handkerchief or underwear at the party."
The witch teased, then was patted by the red-haired girl.
"Rather than having a party, I prefer reading at home in the evening."
Shade said as he picked out his first hidden card and showed the card with the man in black facing the bubbles in the boundless sea of stars:
"Sorry, [Creation·Space], color: Moon 10.
After drawing this card and before the suspension stage, you can choose whether to activate only one effect: toss a coin. If it is heads, the opponent will discard the first card and the last card at this time and draw a new card; if it is tails,
Exchange your first card with any non-Moon suit card revealed by your opponent."
Miss Bell covered her mouth. The black-haired girl looked at the card with wide eyes, an inexplicable flush on her face:
“This is so”
"Xia De, 12+10=22, you busted."
The red-haired girl reminded, Shade smiled and nodded:
"But aren't there still rules that can be activated? I choose to activate the effect of [Creation·Space]."
He looked at the cards in Miss Charlotte Bell's hand opposite him. The hidden card had not yet been revealed, and the open card was the common card Sun 9.
So he dug out a coin from his pocket, tossed it casually, caught it, and then showed the result that the coin turned up on its back.
"Exchange my first card with Miss Bell's Sun 9."
He handed over the playing cards, and the girl, whose right hand was trembling a little, took [Creation·Space] and handed over her own Sun 9.
"My current point is 9 + 12 = 21 points, suspension. Miss Bell, according to the rules of [Phantom Opera House Silent Audience], you must also suspend trading now. What is your point?"
"I lost."
She showed the hidden card with the suit "Star 7", her eyes still staring at the [Creation·Space] that Shade exchanged for her.
Miss Winslet on the side shook her head, as if regretting that the first round ended so quickly:
"Xia De, you said you only like to read at night? Is this because your teacher is present, so you want to express yourself?"
"Shade is indeed very diligent."
The red-haired girl sitting next to her helped Shade defend herself:
"Shadek is an outstanding student of the college. He also won the college's 'Feliana Medal' at the end of last year. He is not only talented but also very hardworking. I know this better than anyone else."
Miss Winslet held the tea cup and turned slightly to look at her:
"So you conclude that your student is a kind of ascetic?"
Originally, Miss Danister wanted to nod, but thinking of Shade's complicated love life, she had to admit:
"The only difference between him and the ascetic is that he has almost no resistance to beautiful girls."
Miss Winslet thought she was talking about Cavendish, but in fact she was talking about Cavendishes.
At the beginning of the second round, Shade and Miss Bell drew cards again. Of course, [Origin Space] was still in Miss Bell's hand at this time, and she wanted to wait until the game was over before returning it to Shade.
Shade's up card was the common card "Star 2", and when he glanced at the hidden card, it was also the suit of stars:
[Big City Player·1853 Tobesk Champion], suit: Star 12. When you draw this card, you have the right to check a hidden card that your opponent has not revealed.
Shade thought for a while and then showed this card:
"I am now at 12+2=14 o'clock."
Miss Bell once again stared at the "championship card" with wide eyes, and then also showed the two cards in her hand:
"Sun 13 and flower 6, 19 o'clock, I stop trading."
"Then do you want to continue drawing cards?"
The witch holding the teacup asked Shade, who of course nodded:
"Continue to draw cards, I am still very adventurous [Creation·Knowledge], suit and color: Flower 1."
He showed his third card, which had extremely complicated rules:
"The effect is activated according to the number of cards in the hand when this card was drawn. This is the third card, so effect 3 is activated: You can choose whether to force the opponent's total points to be reduced by 3. I choose yes. My total points are now 12+
2+1=15 points.”
Miss Bell looked at the card, took it into her hand and watched it carefully for a moment after getting permission:
"I'm now at 19-3=16 points."
"You are still in the suspension stage, I choose to continue drawing cards."
After saying that, he went to get the next card, opened it and laughed:
"[Life Ceremony·Wedding], suit color: Flower 5. Throw out two 20-sided dice. If the difference between the numbers is less than or equal to 2, you can adjust the card points between 4 and 5.
I don’t have to throw the dice, after all, no matter what the outcome is, I win, it’s just the difference between 19 and 20.”
Miss Bell pursed her lips and nodded, then looked at the two "Foundation Series" in her hand:
"In this way, your points have reached two points. In the next game, unless you bust your cards at the beginning - 1 point, and I don't bust my cards at the beginning, it will count 1 point, otherwise I will lose anyway."
"So there are too many special cards in the deck. Even if the special rules of most cards are strict, it will still make the game very boring."
Shade said and went to touch the cards again, but unexpectedly the witch apprentice looked at him seriously and shook her head:
"It's not boring at all, Mr. Hamilton, it's the most interesting card game I've ever had.
For ordinary players like us, it is a dream to be able to play even one card from the Founding Series with you, let alone play against your heyday deck.
It's boring for you, but for me, it's as exciting as every time I have a sparring session with the lady - I'm really sorry that I couldn't let you use your full strength."
Shade believed that his expression must be strange at this moment, because Miss Winslet and Miss Danist both covered their mouths and chuckled.
"This kind of apology is unnecessary."
With that, the third round officially began. When he saw the bright card in his hand [Founder·Silver Moon] and the lady sitting on a high stool holding up the moon, he couldn't help but smile, and then
He shook his head nostalgically:
"Look at this, this is the first special rule card I got. It's simple and practical. You can adjust the number within the range of 1 to 5."
Then he was about to reveal his secret card, but was stopped by the girl opposite:
"Sorry, please look at this!"
She smiled reservedly and showed her hand to Shade. On the card was a looming figure under the clock tower in the thick fog:
"[Urban Legend·The Murderer in the Fog], suit: Moon 11. When this card is drawn, if this card is the second card and all players have not checked the first hidden card, all players will announce their side
Before the suspension, you cannot check your first hidden card, and all players must draw the third card."
"I have a Moon 4 [Urban Legend·Non-Existent Street]. Is your card a luck card?"
Shade understood:
"This card itself has 11 points. If you don't know the first card, the possibility of drawing the third card to blow it up is not small."
