I Became Popular After Participating In Escape Games - Chapter 23
There are vending machines in the game city, and you can buy playing cards with coins or swipe bracelets. However, the playing cards in the vending machines have a different pattern than the cards on the casino table.
Cao Yi bought three decks of cards and took Lu Tingliu into the coffee shop on the first floor.
Lu Tingliu said: “I invite you, I want a glass of ice American, what would you drink?”
Cao Yi said, “I’ll pay for the latte.”
The clerk held the cash register: “You…”
Lu Tingliu quickly stretched out the bracelet, “Di”, the payment was successful.
Cao Yi: “…”
Lu Tingliu raised her eyebrows and smiled: “Is it a qualified shot?”
Cao Yi said: “It’s more qualified than me.”
“However,” Cao Yi said, “hand speed is only one aspect, the most important thing is teamwork.”
Lu Tingliu took the coffee and took a sip: “Are we two?”
Cao Yi smiled: “You can join my team.”
“Your team?”
Cao Yi nodded.
Suddenly someone said, “Hello, brother Cao Yi, hello sister.”
“Introduction, Fang Jue, Xiao Fang,” Cao Yi said, “one of the team members.”
Lu Tingliu looked strangely at the boy who was sitting at their table at some point, looking very young, pale and unhealthy.
“Fang Jue’s basic card is called [Transparent Man],” Cao Yi said, “Do you understand?”
Lu Tingliu: “The sense of existence is quite transparent…”
Fang Jue whispered: “Physical transparency is also possible.”
Cao Yi asked him, “Where is your sister Zizhi?”
“Still playing, she said come back later.”
Cao Yi said: “Then let’s start first.”
He opened a deck of cards, drew big and small kings, then shuffled the cards, and gave three cards to Lu Tingliu, Fang Jue and himself.
“This kind of gameplay, in our hometown, is called fried machine, also known as fried golden flower. The gameplay is very simple, just compare the size.”
Lu Tingliu nodded: “I know.”
“Three cards, the highest number of the same number, followed by the flush, the flush again, followed by the straight, pair, and loose cards. The betting rules on the second floor are also very simple, come and play Bet 100 at the bottom price. After the cards are dealt, you can choose to check the cards or not check the cards, call the bets and not call the bets. If there are people who do not see the cards and blindly call, then all the checkers must double call until you fold. , or open the card.”
After Cao Yi finished speaking, he and Fang Jue played two games with Lu Tingliu to clarify the rules.
“The shuffling is the responsibility of the people in the game city, right?” Lu Tingliu looked at the 367 with different flowers in his hand, and his teeth hurt.
“Yes.”
“The card you get is purely luck.”
“Yes.”
“How do you cheat?”
Cao Yi said: “The lowest one, change the card.”
Lu Tingliu wondered: “Don’t you mean the colors are different?”
“We are players.” Cao Yi smiled.
Not long after, a beautiful woman walked straight towards them.
“Hello, I’m Zhu Zizhi.” She reached out to Lu Tingliu.
Lu Tingliu shook her hand.
Two hours later, Lu Tingliu sat at the card table on the second floor.
There are six players at this table, and there is a cube screen in the middle. Everyone can see the current table bet, call amount and call limit.
Staff deal cards.
The official card suits are scarlet stripes, while the playing cards sold in vending machines have blue and white florals on the back.
The surroundings are quite quiet, only the sound of “call”, “two thousand”, “four thousand”, “ten thousand”, “fold”, “ten thousand”, “call”, “fold”, “call”” Fourteen thousand, are you open?” “Open it.”
Lu Tingliu threw his cards as early as five hundred. She has 468s of different suits and will not give money to her opponents.
After playing a few more hands, Lu Tingliu realized that he was really bad at playing cards.
After another deal of cards, Lu Tingliu saw that her three cards were Ace of Hearts, Queen of Hearts and Queen of Spades. a bit. There are cards hidden there, with scarlet stripes on the back.
Zhu Zizhi’s ability is called [Decorative Change], she can change all decorative patterns, colors, lines, and shapes. She turned the blue and white floral poker into a scarlet stripe poker and gave it to the three of them, all of them AKQJ.
When playing cards, you need to look at the cards in your own hand and the cards in other people’s hands.
The table where Lu Tingliu is seated has six players and a deck of cards. The rule here is to fold and see. When Lu Tingliu wants to change cards, she must pay attention to whether the cards in other people’s hands are duplicated with her own. For example, in this one, she will replace the Ace of Hearts with Queen of Clubs and make three Queens. There is a club queen, and Lu Tingliu can’t turn out the second club queen—there is only one deck of cards, how can there be two club queens? She has to switch again, and that’s one of the risks; there’s also the risk of having all three queens, but your opponent’s highest card is three aces.
“Cheating is not a 100% win,” Cao Yi told her, “But if you do it properly and play a few more games, you will definitely win money in the end.”
The maximum calling amount at this table is 20,000 per person, and one hundred calls. In extreme cases, everyone calls to 20,000 before opening the cards, so a hand can win 100,000. But generally speaking, 50,000 is a lot of money to accumulate at the final table.
Called clockwise from one to six, Lu Tingliu is four.
No. 1 came up and called: “One thousand.”
Two: “…fold.”
Number three: “Follow.”
Lu Tingliu: “Follow.”
Number five: “Follow.”
Number Six: “Follow.”
The people around made an interesting discussion: “This is a good card for everyone.”
Lu Tingliu’s palm was sweating.
She was nervous and excited.
Before sitting at this table, Lu Tingliu recalled whether the roles she played in the past could be used to open cards, but unfortunately she never played such roles.
Actually, there are no one hundred and forty-seven characters she has played in total.
Five of them called to five thousand after three rounds.
Number One: “Fold.”
Number three: “Follow.”
Lu Tingliu: “Follow.”
Five: “Fold.”
Number six: “Six thousand, can you open it?”
Number three: “Let’s go.”
Lu Tingliu: “Open.”
There is no queen in the fold, so let’s look at three and six.
Number 6 flips first, three jacks.
Then three, Club A, Club K, Club Q.
“Hahahaha,” someone in the crowd laughed, “Brother, you can’t do it, it’s too bad luck.”
Number Three looked back, his face ashen.
In the end, it was Lu Tingliu’s turn to flip the card, three queens, namely hearts, diamonds, and spades.
Number six also froze.
The screen in the middle shows that the total amount of this bet is 4.9w,
Now it’s all under Lu Tingliu’s account.
No. 3 gritted his teeth: “Come again!”
Lu Tingliu smiled at Cao Yi who was in the crowd. It was he who laughed at No. 3 just now, attracting the attention of others and letting her find an opportunity to change cards.
In the next hour, the table played nearly ten hands, and the speed was very fast. Lu Tingliu became more and more in a state, winning more and losing less, and the amount in the account was more than 200,000.
After losing a hand of more than 3,000 in the end, Lu Tingliu stood up and said, “I’m here, I don’t have any bottoms anymore, I don’t play. already.”
The real bottoms are gone, the more I play, the more jealous I want to turn over: “…”
…
Lu Tingliu picked a lamb chop from the buffet downstairs and ate it slowly.
Cao Yi said: “How is it? Is it fun?”
Lu Tingliu exhaled: “It’s not easier than punching, I’m sweating.”
“You’re a good learner.”
For a few games at such a fast pace just now, Lu Tingliu did not change the wrong card once. It can be said that he is very talented. There was even one time when Lu Tingliu relied on his superb acting skills and unhurried momentum to make other guests fold one after another. Among the folded cards was the one that Lu Tingliu needed to make up—if that guest did not fold, Lu Tingliu would lose in the end. Ting Liu is gone. She ended up with a shattered ace of clubs, queens of clubs and threes of hearts, **** off those who folded.
Lu Tingliu said: “But this kind of gameplay is destined to not last long, will it be discovered?”
Cao Yi said: “Yes. Zhu Zizhi’s change can only last for three hours.”
“What if the staff found out?”
“As long as they don’t get caught, let them think it’s magic.”
“Caught?”
Personally, the three of them turned out three Aces in each of their hands. It was so funny. But in the end, they were not punished. There are many people who cheated and made thousands. “
Lu Tingliu: “Wow.”
The Apate is worthy of the name. It’s just too forgiving…disturbing.
Cao Yi said: “Are you full? The upper limit of the amount is still too low, do you want to challenge the bigger ones?”
…
Lu Tingliu learned new rules and sat at a new table.
There are also six people at this table. Lu Tingliu saw No. 3 whom he knew before, and he seemed very nervous and anxious.
Under the croupier, six players place their blinds first, and then the croupier deals two hole cards to each player.
Then rounds of cards and bets.
The atmosphere was tense until the last hole card was revealed.
Lu Tingliu didn’t change cards in this match, she was lucky once, and she couldn’t get better by changing cards.
During the process of holding his breath and showing his cards, No. 3’s breath became heavier and heavier.
Win. When the last card was revealed, Lu Tingliu thought to himself.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
She bet 200,000 in this round. If she loses, she will return to the pre-liberation overnight.
On the screen, a total of one million was credited to Lu Tingliu’s account in this round.
Before Lu Tingliu was happy that he had achieved one-fifth of his goal, No. 3 collapsed and roared, overturning the cards and chips on the table, and he burst into tears. , murmured “I’m done” “I’m sorry my baby”. Then, amid the exclamations of everyone, No. 3 went straight to the railing, turned over and jumped down! Lu Tingliu rushed over, but only had time to grab the paper bracelet on No. 3’s wrist.
Boom!
No. 3 fell to the ground, her forehead hit the hard edge of the fountain pool, and blood flowed all over the floor.
Lu Tingliu glanced at the paper bracelet he caught, with seven words printed on it: “Apater Loan Certificate”.
A message pops up in the front panel.
Whether to accept? [Countdown 10 seconds]]
Lu Tingliu recalled the B-level last time and thought it was not difficult.
So she said without hesitation, “Accept.”
[Accepted successfully. 】
[Locking account…]
Lu Tingliu: ? ? ?
[Locked. Changing debt attribution, changing agreement signatories…]
Barrage: “?? What mission is this?”
“I think Sister Lu is stupid.”
“Will it affect the money I make today? Sister Lu is not easy to play cards and sweat all over.”
[Change successful. 】

Cao Yi finished hitting his hand, saw Lu Tingliu leaning against the railing in a daze, came over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
On the first floor, Apate’s staff cleaned up No. 3’s body without changing their face. They were very skilled and accustomed to their actions.
Cao Yi glanced around, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her: “Are you scared?”
Lu Tingliu did not speak.
Cao Yi asked her, “Do you still play cards?”
Lu Tingliu turned back slowly, took out a handful of game coins she had exchanged before: “This is all the ‘funds’ I can use now, do you think I can still play ?”
