Chapter 13

"What did he do?" Duan Zixi frowned.

Zhao Haichuan shook his head, wondering what he was thinking: "He is a smart man. He has probably discovered the hidden plot of the card game."

"If you hadn't been injured, how could it be his turn..." Speaking of this, Zhao Haichuan's face showed a hint of annoyance:

"Now it's good. Fu Xue's spouse is gone. I'm afraid she won't survive this night."

"In the end, the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam."

Duan Zixi looked up at him, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes:

"His vote count is increasing so fast that he's surpassed you."

Zhao Haichuan's heart sank, "How many votes does he have now?"

Duan Zixi's lips trembled slightly: "245 votes."

Zhao Haichuan was stunned and said in a lost voice, "Is he surpassing me? He's almost surpassing you!"

At this moment, the two-hour refresh time has not yet arrived, and Yitu's votes are still skyrocketing.

Zhao Haichuan sat down and was silent for a while before saying, "It's okay. He's a newcomer and he won't survive tonight."

Duan Zixi looked up at him when he heard that.

"Tonight won't be like last night, where nothing happened." Zhao Haichuan said meaningfully:

"The last night at the poker table was a very long one."

When Yi Tu returned to the village chief's house, the living room was empty. Huang Tianfang and the others had all gone back to their rooms.

It's not even eight o'clock yet.

Yitu stuffed the hammer into the back of his coat and went upstairs.

His and Zhang Queshan's room was close to the stairs, at the very end of the corridor, and the location was not very good.

At that time, in order to take care of the girls, they gave up their safe rooms.

Now it was the last night, and Yitu's uneasiness grew so strong that he even had to consider the location of the room.

At this moment, the door of the room next to them suddenly opened.

Zhang Queshan frowned and looked at Yitu, "Where have you been? Why did you come back only now?"

Yitu quickly reacted and replied, "I had a stomachache last night and went to the bathroom."

"Going to the bathroom?" Zhang Queshan sneered. "Whose bathroom would advance the game's plot?"

Yitu was stunned.

"We all received the system broadcast," Zhang Queshan said. "Your name, Yitu, was specifically mentioned on it."

Yitu: "...I see. I'm a little flattered."

Zhang Queshan: “…”

"Why are you in Huang Tianfang's room?"

Yitu took the initiative and tried to divert attention.

Zhang Queshan stared at him for a few seconds, never expecting that the guy in front of him would follow him, so he counterattacked with a trick.

So he gave up asking and walked out the door:

"Huang Tianfang and Zhao Haichuan are living here, so this room is available."

"Living with Zhao Haichuan and the others?"

Yi Tu couldn't understand when Huang Tianfang became so close to Zhao Haichuan and the others.

"Is it strange? This is our last night at the poker room. Do you think it will be like yesterday, with nothing happening?"

"It's human instinct to cling to the powerful, and it's normal."

Yitu entered the room, which was more spacious than the one they were in before.

"What about Fu Xue? What should she do?"

She is alone now, why not be with Huang Tianfang?

Zhang Queshan laughed, picked up the teapot and poured water. Yitu took the opportunity to pull out the hammer and put it in the gap between the bed and the wall.

"She, she won't survive this night."

"You're a newbie and don't know the pros and cons of playing against each other."

Zhang Queshan blew a mouthful of hot water, fogging up his glasses.

"What do you mean?" Yitu frowned.

"It means that the gambler's game is fair."

Zhang Queshan raised his paper cup. "She and Ah Niu are bound together. If one of them dies in the card game, if the other can leave alive, then the dead one can also survive, right?"

Yitu nodded.

"So, in order to balance this absolute advantage, the game sets the NPCs' first attack target to the number of cards currently on the player."

"The higher the card number, the higher the attack priority."

Normally, most players only have one identity card, and it is rare for them to have extra identity cards.

But for players with bound spouses, if one dies, the other will obtain the other's identity card, and the number of cards will directly become two.

For example, Fu Xue at this moment has two identity cards on her.

"Unless she throws away Aniu's ID card, who would stay in the same room with her?" Zhang Queshan shrugged indifferently.

Yitu finally understood what those inexplicable words Huang Tianfang and Zhao Haichuan had said in the living room before.

Huang Tianfang said that Fu Xue definitely has more than just Ah Niu as her opponent.

In fact, there are quite a few players who abandon their spouses in the card room.

In order to reduce your own risks and ensure that you can leave the poker room alive, it seems that giving up appropriately is understandable.

You can find a new spouse in the game, but once your life is gone, it’s gone for real.

The fact that Fu Xue didn't scream when Aniu died and even thought about the problem with the hammer is enough to show that Fu Xue is not an ordinary person.

A beautiful woman is not scary, what is scary is a beautiful woman who is smart.

At present, Fu Xue's ghost attack priority has been increased. Unless she throws away Aniu's identity card, the rejection from other players will be a headache.

This is why Zhao Haichuan and his team did not accept Fu Xue but chose Huang Tianfang instead.

As for Yitu and Zhang Queshan, one is a newcomer without any life-saving props, and the other is a fool who has done nothing from beginning to end.

I'm afraid neither of them has any choice.

Thinking of this, Yi Tu felt a little complicated. He was such a rookie, but Zhang Queshan didn't abandon him. He was really touched.

Mr. Zhang is a really good person.

Zhang Queshan was a little confused by his gaze, "Don't look at me like that, I have no choice, understand?"

Yitu: “…I understand.”

Zhang Queshan looked at him with a complicated expression:

"What's more, your vote count has been increasing and will soon surpass Duan Zixi. You are the one you don't have to worry about the least."

Yi Tu's heart moved. He had not had time to check the game cards since he came back from Liu the Stonemason's house, so naturally he didn't know that his number of votes was increasing.

When I first heard the result, I was a little surprised.

"But the ranking doesn't matter now. With Fu Xue here, the last one won't die too badly."

Yitu didn't answer, he was looking down at the game cards in his hand.

[Judith, congratulations to the Master for ranking second in the game. He's quite like my previous Masters!]

After Fu Xue's spouse died, the advantage he had originally built up was instantly gone, and his ranking was squeezed down a lot, but fortunately he had the votes in the early stage to support him.

After he went up, he pushed Huang Tianfang down.

Yitu also browsed through the interactive area for card room owners, where he heard a lot of pitiful voices.

[Anonymous player 690: Damn, I just entered the couple and one of them died? Killing the pig heart wow wow wow

Anonymous player 539: I lost money and cleared out my inventory. I'm in tears at the poker table. I know it's a couple's trap! I'm never going to play again.

Anonymous player 902: This is the legendary game where couples are doomed to die.

Anonymous player 1022: What the hell is that new guy? He has so many votes?

Anonymous player 429: That's right! Are the newbies so arrogant these days? They put the seniors behind. It's outrageous! Brother above, I suggest you vote for the couple, it's a sure win (dog head.jpg)

Anonymous player 887: Newcomers are still unreliable. It’s not even the last day of this card game yet. Now that there are some signs of trouble, you’re already giving in?

Anonymous Player 901: Hey! I'm still gambling! I just love the joy of doubling my profits as a new player!

Anonymous player 1200: My vote is useless anyway, I'll just watch the fun (grin.jpg)]

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Both of them were stunned and looked at each other. Yitu asked in a low voice: "Who is outside?"

"It's me." A woman's soft voice sounded.

"Fu Xue?" Yi Tu was a little uncertain.

"Yes, it's really me, not some other disguise." Fu Xue guessed their concerns:

"I came here to ask you to take me in for one night."

Fu Xue directly stated the purpose of her coming here, and Yi Tu frowned when he saw Zhang Queshan.

"Unless you throw away the extra cards you have, there's no need for us to suffer."

Fu Xue seemed to have guessed Zhang Queshan's attitude, and she continued calmly:

"If I threw away Ah Niu's ID card, why would I come to you?"

"Zhao Haichuan and Duan Zixi are obviously much stronger than you and a newcomer, but they are more than capable of protecting themselves even without me."

"This newcomer Yitu is truly unexpected. He has excellent judgment and observation skills. He is much smarter than me."

"But he's a newcomer after all. Without any props, how are you two going to survive this dangerous night?"

"I admit that as a priority, I will be the first to be targeted, but I have life-saving props, and I am sure and certain that I will not be the first to die."

"If you're willing to take me in for one night, I can tell you all my props and function cards."

Fu Xue came prepared and had clear ideas. After hearing what he said, Zhang Queshan was obviously shaken.

"If you can protect yourself, why do you come to me?"

"Just in case, and for peace of mind."

When it comes to seeking peace of mind, Fu Xue's voice sounds a little more weak and helpless. No matter how calculating she is, she is just a woman with nowhere to rely on.

Zhang Queshan hesitated. He looked at Yitu and asked silently.

Yitu didn't object, in fact he was almost convinced.

"Let her in."

Although Fu Xue's existence will inevitably attract ghosts, who can be sure that ghosts will not come if Fu Xue is gone?

Besides, Fu Xue's staying does have more advantages than disadvantages, and her props and function cards do provide a lot of persuasiveness.

After one conversation, two identical decisions, three different mindsets.

Yitu opened the door and saw Fu Xue standing outside wearing only a thin sky-blue cardigan. Her nose was red from the cold and she looked pitiful.

She whispered thank you to Yi Tu. She never thought Yi Tu would help her.

After Fu Xue came in, Zhang Queshan said straight to the point:

"Do you have any props or function cards that can help us?"
