28 Shi Xiaobais Intuition (2/2)
In three seconds, Shi Xiaobai had made his choice. He stretched out his hand to point at an unnoticeable card out of the dozens of cards. It was not at a corner, nor was it at a particularly unique location. In fact, it looked extremely ordinary.
However, Shi Xiaobai’s eyes were brimming with confidence. The demeanor of his expression and his tone was extremely determined, as if the choice he made was definitely correct. It seemed like he was destined to win despite the outcome of this game of luck being completely unknown.
Hisith was standing on the other side of the poker cards, so he could immediately see what card Shi Xiaobai had chosen. His gaze stared intently at the chosen card, as he fell into a long silence.
“You passed, my little friend, Tu Dahei. I look forward to the upcoming rookie training. I will definitely give you ‘my love’.”
After a long while, Hisith finally announced the game’s outcome. His voice was still coquettish, but was now apparently exceptionally cold. When he said the two words “my love”, he even enunciated it with a tone that was absolutely terrifying.
Shi Xiaobai felt the invisible bondage disappear immediately once again. Without another word, he hurried out of the office. He felt that every second he spent with this depraved person was dangerous.
After Shi Xiaobai left, Hisith was still maintaining the same posture. His eyes were still on the poker card Shi Xiaobai chose.
“A one in fifty-four chance. Was it by coincidence or simply inevitable?”
Hisith stretched out his hand to hold the poker card Shi Xiaobai chose. The other fifty-three poker cards suddenly transformed into plumes of blue flames, turning to ash after burning for a moment.
As for the poker card in Hisith’s hand, it revealed its front side—it was the highest trump card, “Red Joker”!
“It looks like you indeed possess the Perception of God, and it’s the strongest one at that. Interesting, definitely interesting. As a toy, you are truly too extravagant for me.”
“However, the game has only just begun. I will ‘teach’ you well, and I hope you will not disappoint me.”
Hisith placed the “Red Joker” into his breast pocket as a sinister smile suffused on his lips.
…
…
After walking out the office, Shi Xiaobai still felt panic-stricken. He hurried his footsteps, afraid that the hateful, depraved person would chase after him.
“Yet another monster that covets This King’s divine body. Thankfully This King was fast in getting away!”
The more he thought, the more he felt fear after the event. However, just thinking of himself being able to choose a poker card that was greater than ten out of fifty-four poker cards made him happy.
“There is indeed nothing This King can’t do! Isn’t it just a bet on luck? This King has never feared it!”
While Shi Xiaobai was choosing the poker card, he thought of how he had blindly made a shot during the rookie evaluation’s ability test. Immediately, he had felt like he had invincible luck, so he chose without any hesitation.
His intuition told him that the poker card was greater than ten.
“Strange, why does This King keep having the thought that the poker card is the “Red Joker’?”
This bizarre idea flashed in Shi Xiaobai’s mind, but soon vanished.
“Heh heh, there is nothing strange about that. The card chosen by This King is definitely the ‘Red Joker’!”
Shi Xiaobai felt at ease and justified as he accepted his own explanation.
