Chapter 17 - Clubs Secret Room’s Solution (1/2)

Chapter 17 – Clubs Secret Room’s Solution

The teenager keeper declared, “The fifth game, No. 1 wins. Since No. 5 didn’t lose all his coins, both can advance to the next game.”

The two females present looked at Xiao Lou and were both relieved.

Xiao Lou smiled and took back the 5,000 basic bet, plus the 4,000 of his call and 4,000 from No. 5 for a total of 13,000 gold coins.

The guard said, “The sixth game is beginning. The dealing is random.”

The previous rounds were counterclockwise and this time it was random. This round of dealing was random and happened to land on No. 7.

No. 7 directly folded her cards and Xiao Lou followed. No. 2 and No. 3 also folded their cards. The four people’s cards in the discard pool all added up to more than 10.5. There was a 7 & 8, 9 & 5 and other rotten cards.

It was No. 5’s turn. The other four all had cards that were more than 10.5. No. 5 did nothing and directly lay down to win, gaining the 5,000 ante.

At this point in the card game, the slower people understood the way to live.

If the cards weren’t good, fold directly and only lose 1,000 gold coins. If they had to call, pay less and they would keep their lives. If they had gold coins then they wouldn’t be eliminated.

However, there were only five chances to fold.

For No. 5, he went all in during the first game and played the fifth and sixth games. He only folded three times and had more opportunities to fold. He had more than 10,000 gold coins so in the seventh game, he could immediately clear the cards by simply folding.

The remaining four people had exhausted all their folds. In the seventh game, the four people had to keep calling.

Still, by this time everyone had formed a tacit understanding. Only call the minimum amount to save their lives.

The dealing order was random and the seventh game ended up starting with Xiao Lou first.

For the opening card, Xiao Lou got an A.

The keeper opened his mouth. “The first round of dealing. No. 1, please choose.”

Xiao Lou looked at his card and then swept a gaze over the table before suddenly smiling. “I don’t want a card, call 1,000.”

Everyone was startled.

In order to get 10.5 points, at least two cards were needed. This was only the second round and he only had two cards. Yet he didn’t want a card? Did he get too many cards and was afraid to get more than 10.5. Or…

Sitting on his right side, the No.2 girl’s eyes turned around before they suddenly brightened as if she understood something. “Call 1,000, I don’t want any cards!”

No. 3 Yu Hanjiang was the second to understand. “Call, no card.”

No. 5 shrugged and indeed folded. The No. 7 sister also understood and threw a gold coin into the prize pool. “Call 1,000, no card.”

Xiao Lou took the lead to stop getting cards in the second round of dealing in order to give everyone a hint. Don’t receive any more cards and let the game end in the second round. Directly lose the game and their losses could be reduced to a minimum.

At this time, everyone didn’t have a transfer bead and it was almost impossible to get 10.5 out of natural luck.

In the last game, the four people had to call. According to the rules of the game, they had to call 1,000 coins every time they took a card. Why throw out a gold coin in vain and bet on luck? Wasn’t it better to stay their hands?

At this moment, the four players tacitly chose not to receive a card. The game was automatically ended.

The keeper stated, “The dealing has ended. Please reveal your cards.”

No. 1 Xiao Lou: A of Hearts.

No. 2 girl: A of Diamonds.

No. 3 Yu Hanjiang: A of Spades.

No. 7 ponytail girl: A of Clubs.

The four people actually got all As!

Since No. 5 folded and the other four were flat, there were no winners and the gold coins were recovered by the keeper.

The teenager declared, “The seventh game is over. This card game has finished.”

He took the gold coins back from the table. “Congratulations to the five challengers for successfully clearing the 2 of Clubs secret room, Challenge 10.5. The remaining gold coins in your hand are the rewards for this room.”

Everyone, “……”

Thanks to Xiao Lou taking the lead to suspend the dealing in the second round, the loss of gold coins was only 2,000. If they kept asking for cards and calling until the fifth round, their losses would be as high as 5,000 coins.

This was the wisest decision to make sure everyone was alive. Don’t be greedy and stop in time.

The No. 2 girl sitting next to Xiao Lou admired him and gave him a thumbs up. He took the lead in suspending the dealing and successfully rewarded everyone with 3,000 more gold coins.

Just then, No. 5 smiled and suddenly asked, “Clubs, you have been secretly controlling the cards in this game, right?”

The Clubs teenager looked at him in an expressionless way.

No. 5 continued, “I have played thousands of card game and the probability of gaining ‘king’ or ‘five small ones’ is less than one in 10,000. There is also the last game where everyone started with an A. It is impossible to have such a coincidence unless you are in control.”

His words caused the crowd to p.r.i.c.k their ears and Xiao Lou to raise his head. Xiao Lou had long discovered this.

If the keeper wasn’t controlling the cards then it was hard to explain the second and third games.

The transfer bead could ensure that they got good cards. Then what about when two people used the transfer bead at the same time. Were the better cards really just determined by luck?

No. The person who remained and the person who was eliminated had been in the hands of the Keeper of Clubs.

In the second game, Yu Hanjiang and No. 6 used the transfer beads at the same time. No. 6’s hands had been shaking nervously while Yu Hanjiang always remained calm. The keeper decided to eliminate No. 6, controlling the cards to allow Yu Hanjiang to get the ‘king’ hand while No. 6 was eliminated.

In the third game, the No. 2 thin girl and the No. 4 curly-haired woman used the transfer beads at the same time. No. 4’s mental state had exploded while the No. 2 girl might be thin but she was stable until the end. Thus. the keeper controlled it so No. 4 was eliminated.

The coincidence of two consecutive games didn’t make sense at all.

In addition, there were the keeper’s words. “Luck is also a type of strength.”

Xiao Lou had understood the secret of the Clubs room at that time. The keeper was in control of the cards and eliminated people according to their strength.

The keywords: luck, strength.

The Clubs secret room didn’t look at luck but strength.
