–Inside the experience store.–

Su Jinyu and Zheng Hongxi were working hard at Lifeline.

The others were doing their own things, Wen Lingwei was on a massage chair catching up on drama using a tablet.

The experience store was now the place where Wen Lingwei and the others would gather most frequently. They would visit if they had nothing to do, ushering Chen Mo to release new games.

Chen Mo said, “Let’s take a break and play a game.”

“Hmm?” Su Jinyu was shocked, “Play a game? What kind of game?”

Zheng Hongxi lifted his head up at a loss as he was stuck in the middle of his thought.

Jia Peng replied, “Sure thing, don’t have much to do anyways. What type of game is it?”

Chen Mo took out a set of poker cards, “Poker.”

“…You guys go ahead, I’ll take my leave,” said Jia Peng.

Chen Mo laughed, “Don’t worry, you can watch or be the dealer.”

“Manager, don’t tell us you plan to play Dou Dizhu, we have eight people here,” Wen Lingwei said lazily.

“Not Dou Dizhu, it’s a game that you guys have never played before,” explained Chen Mo.

Chang Xiuya was shocked, “A game none of us have played? That can’t be possible!”

“Come over here, it’s good that we have eight people. If Jia Peng deals, we’ll play with a table of seven,” said Chen Mo.

Su Jinyu asked, “Is there a requirement with the number of players?”

Chen Mo shook his head, “We can play with two to nine players.”

“What about more than nine?” asked Su Jinyu.

“Oh, in theory we can play with more than nine players, but we wouldn’t fit at the table,” explained Chen Mo.

“…How convenient,” said Su Jinyu.

Chen Mo ushered everyone to join, “Come, I’ll teach you the rules in the meeting room.”

“What can you do with a set of poker cards… Is there a prize for winning? I’m not joining if there isn’t,” said Wen Lingwei.

“Of course there is, I’ll buy anything within five thousand RMB for whatever the winner desires,” said Chen Mo.

“Five thousand?”

“Anything?”

“The manager sure is different now that he has money!”

Soon, everyone started making their way into the meeting room.

Zheng Hongxi was speechless.

Everyone was now sat around the table in the meeting room/

Chen Mo took out a set of chips that were custom made.

Su Jinyu exclaimed, “What is that, manager?”

“Chips, it’s basically money. But we can’t use money because that would be gambling,” explained Chen Mo as he distributed the chips.

The chips were tiles slightly bigger than a coin, each of them had a different number of them of different colours.

Everyone was given one five hundred, three one hundreds, six twenty fives, and ten fives.

“Now everyone has one thousand in chips. Whoever gets all the chips in the end wins. There will only be one winner,” explained Chen Mo.

Su Jinyu asked as she fiddled with the chips, “Manager, are you sure we won’t be arrested for gambling?”

“…No, as long as nobody puts money on the table,” said Chen Mo.

Wen Lingwei was also playing with the chips, “Do you need these to play? It’s not like Dou Dizhu?”

Chen Mo nodded, “Yep, we need chips to play. Alright, now that everyone’s seated, Jia Peng will sit in the middle, yes, right in the middle. You’ll be the dealer.”

Weng Lingwei raised her hand, “I object, I feel like if he deals, everyone’s cards will be terrible.”

Jia Peng was speechless, “Senior, you know I have feelings too right?”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fair if all our hands are bad,” said Chen Mo.

“I don’t feel any better!” exclaimed Jia Peng.

Chen Mo spread out the cards on the table face down, “We’ll make it simple as we are playing by ourselves. Everyone grab a card, and whoever gets the largest card will be the dealer.”

Su Jinyu asked, “What does the dealer do?”
