NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 208
208. You Can Die Now
A card was flipped over, it was blank.
Qin Shili was startled, thinking that Lin Nuo would choose the blank card and lose the bet.
But fortunately, he just excluded the blank card.
With one blank card excluded, only four cards remained on the table.
The gamblers present couldn’t help but tense up. Even though they weren’t the ones gambling, they felt as if they were in the middle of it, sweating nervously.
So he just excluded one, there are still four cards left. What is he planning to do, exclude them all? If he knew which one had a pattern, he might as well flip it over and end it all.
What is this kid doing, deliberately not choosing to create tension and keep everyone in suspense?
Everyone became more and more nervous, wishing they could flip the cards for Lin Nuo.
The long-haired man’s inner joy slightly diminished. It seemed he had overthought it; the game wasn’t over yet.
Heh, even if you exclude one, the result won’t change. You can’t win no matter what.
Even if you exclude the remaining four, you still won’t…
Wait, exclude all four remaining cards?!
The long-haired man instantly understood Lin Nuo’s intention. Yes, exclude the remaining four cards, then the last card, whether it has a pattern or not, would be considered as having a pattern!
This…
The long-haired man suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. No wonder Lin Nuo was so confident in betting on the card flip; he had come prepared!
“Then, I’ll continue, the first card.”
Lin Nuo’s hand landed on another card, “No pattern.”
The card was flipped over, and sure enough, it was blank.
“Next card, the third one, no pattern.”
The third card was flipped over, still blank.
Only two cards were left. At this moment, Lin Nuo did not make a choice, and the long-haired man across from him began to sweat.
According to Lin Nuo’s pace, if the fourth card was also blank, then even if he cheated, he couldn’t win.
The remaining two cards were controllable. To win, the long-haired man had to control the card’s pattern based on Lin Nuo’s choice.
If Lin Nuo said it wasn’t, he would change the card to have a pattern through a switch.
However, Lin Nuo pointed at the fourth card without reaching to flip it.
He sneered:
“I don’t know if this one has a pattern, brother, what do you think?”
Lin Nuo threw the question back to the long-haired man. Now the situation had reversed; originally, Lin Nuo was supposed to guess, but now it was the dealer’s turn to guess.
Everyone couldn’t understand the meaning of these words, but the long-haired man could. It was a provocation, showing off his wit.
The fourth card was blank. As long as Lin Nuo said, “This one isn’t,” he would change the card to have a pattern, and then he would win.
Ha, you think you’re smart, you think you can win by using the elimination method, watch how I change the cards.
The long-haired man said seriously:
“I don’t know, you continue to choose.”
“Ha, then I’ll choose, this fourth card, no pattern.”
Hearing Lin Nuo’s words, Qin Shili understood his meaning, it was to use the elimination method to turn over the other cards, and then the last card would have a pattern no matter what.
In this way, even if the opponent cheats, he can still win.
I see.
Qin Shili couldn’t help but admire Lin Nuo’s intelligence, thinking he started to choose randomly, but in fact, he was setting up.
Lin Nuo reached out, just about to open the fourth card, at this moment the long-haired man was already prepared.
Using a switch, he changed the fourth card to have a pattern, and the fifth card to have no pattern. Now Lin Nuo said the fourth card had no pattern, if the card was turned over, then he would lose.
Ha, cleverness may overreach itself, you still can’t win, leave your life here!
“Not at all, it has a pattern.”
Lin Nuo’s slow hand suddenly sped up, turning over the four cards.
The fourth card, it has a pattern.
The long-haired man was dumbfounded, this clown is actually me, he specially used the switch to change the cards, but Lin Nuo directly changed his words and said it had a pattern.
Damn, you launched a surprise attack, no martial ethics!!!
The gamblers present widened their eyes, it has a pattern, he turned over the one with a pattern!
Damn, the dealer’s hand speed of being single for over twenty years, he could actually see it!
Qin Shili was also dumbfounded, what’s going on, shouldn’t the fifth card have a pattern? How did it become the fourth card?
She originally thought that Lin Nuo was using the elimination method to exclude the other cards, leaving the last one by default, but he said it had a pattern when he turned over the fourth card.
The strange thing is, the fourth card really had a pattern.
It doesn’t make sense, she saw it clearly, the fifth card definitely had a pattern, it couldn’t be the fourth card.
Why is this happening?
Could it be that Lin Nuo was cheating?
Or did she see it wrong?
Qin Shili couldn’t figure out what was going on, because she didn’t know that Lin Nuo was engaged in an intense psychological battle with the dealer just now.
And the result of this psychological battle was Lin Nuo’s victory.
The dealer also thought that Lin Nuo was using the elimination method, planning to exclude four cards, so he planned to change the fourth card to have a pattern when Lin Nuo turned it over.
As a result, Lin Nuo directly changed his words, saying it had a pattern, a reverse kill, playing the opponent in the palm of his hand.
Gambling is about psychology, an old cheat who always relies on cheating to win steadily, met Lin Nuo’s strange move, got anxious, and was tricked by him.
This move, none of the old hands in the gambling house had expected, losing an important game right at their own doorstep.
“You…!”
The dealer was furious, thinking he could trick the opponent, but ended up being tricked instead, leaving him speechless for a moment.
“The IOU is canceled, and besides, you can die now.”
Lin Nuo gave Qin Shili a look, “Kill him.”
“Alright.”
Qin Shili obeyed, directly swinging her sword at the long-haired man.
The speed of the sword was so fast that the sword’s shadow couldn’t be seen. Blood splattered from the long-haired man’s body, and he fell into a pool of blood before he could even close his eyes.
The gamblers present were all terrified. With that one sword strike, the dealer was gone.
Blood was everywhere, comparable to a gangland vendetta. Who would have thought that this would be done by a disciple of the Xuan Yun Sect, dressed in white?
“You killed my man?!”
The boss was furious and immediately roared.
“Your man? Lost a life-and-death bet and you still call him your man?”
Lin Nuo sneered, “Did you sign the life-and-death contract? With so many people watching, you wouldn’t want to renege, would you?”
“You…!”
The boss was even angrier, but it was useless. In fact, they had indeed lost, and the card Lin Nuo turned over did have a pattern.
It was obvious that this kid named Lin had seen through their cheating and countered it, winning unexpectedly.
At that moment, a tall man in a gray cloak stepped forward, seeking revenge:
“Brother Lin, I wonder if you would gamble with me?”
“Sure, I was just looking for you. The same bet, life and death.”
Lin Nuo sneered.
