"During the afternoon shoot, we played some small games indoors, namely Landlord! Every win adds one point, Landlord adds two points, and if there is a bomb, it doubles the point!"

Director Ma pointed to the prepared area at the back. There were three tables in total, each surrounded by three stools, and a deck of cards on the table.

"This is my specialty!" Zhong Tianba pulled up his sleeves with full confidence. During the Chinese New Year, he was playing cards with his family in the casino in his hometown, and everyone loved to play with him.

Even though I lost a lot, I still managed to improve my card playing skills.

"Director Ma, there are only eight of us in total, but we're missing one. Will these points be added to the team?"

Jiang Rourou couldn't help but look forward to Zhong Tianba's expertise. Playing cards is fast, with a game lasting more than ten minutes. If he could win dozens of points in an afternoon, the team's ranking would soar directly.

She doesn't really care who she's in a group with, the only thing that attracts her is the weekly tours.

"Everyone's score will be counted into the total points. I have taken this into consideration for everyone. I will fill in the missing person." Director Ma looked at everyone with a smile.

"The old man must be more powerful. Let's not compete with Director Ma." Zhong Tianba whispered to Jiang Rourou.

But the place was so small and indoors, so his voice could clearly reach Director Ma's ears.

Director Ma: Thank you. You're already an old man at just over 40?

What do you mean Director Ma is only forty? I thought he was sixty.

[The above person is really mean, hahahaha. It seems like no one likes to laugh. Is there anyone who doesn't know how to have fun? Then Zhong Tianba is really getting the upper hand.]

"Come on, take a random table." Director Ma walked to a table first and sat down.

The guests also began to take their seats, and finally Shen Shiyi, Xu Miaomiao, and Zhong Tianba sat at the same table.

Shen Huai, Xie Yu, and Su Zhi sat at the same table.

Gu Qiye and Jiang Rourou were like two unlucky guys sitting at the same table with Director Ma. They were wary of Director Ma's card skills.

The three-table game officially started, and Zhong Tianba was the landlord from the start. Although the cards in his hand were not very good and he was short of two cards, he thought it would be easy for two novices, so he just bit the bullet and took the landlord position.

"Three."

"Four to one."

"Six."

…

Zhong Tianba's cards were still good in the early stages, but they became a little weak later on. Shen Shiyi's card-holding posture was even more skillful, and he played several straights in a row, leaving Zhong Tianba unable to fight back.

Xu Miaomiao, who is not very good at playing, would not bet on Chen Shiyi even if she had a card, because they are a pair in this round.

Shen Shiyi finally played a "nine", leaving him with only one card in his hand.

Zhong Tianba gritted his teeth and decided to throw away his only card "2" in exchange for a chance of survival.

Shen Shiyi held the cards between two fingers, and a beautiful turn revealed the king's side to him.

Zhong Tianba decisively threw away all the cards on his phone, "Fuck, I'm done with this."

In the first round, Zhong Tianba was severely damaged.

"Sister Shi Yi, you are so awesome. That card-flipping move you made just now was so cool!" Xu Miaomiao's eyes were full of admiration. She felt that Sister Shi Yi had become even more majestic in her heart.

How can someone be so good at everything, except rock-paper-scissors, of course?

After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to take the long white strip prepared beside her, tore off a piece and stuck it on Zhong Tianba's forehead.

After several rounds of losing, Zhong Tianba had almost no space left to put the notes on his face.

Zhong Tianba pursed his lips and blew on the white strip, feeling a little autistic: "..."

He just didn't believe that Shen Shiyi could win for the whole afternoon. At worst, he wouldn't fight for the landlord next time. He would always get points by following Shen Shiyi.

[Is this what Zhong Tianba was talking about... being good at something? Do you want to check your face to see if there's still room for some white strips?]

"You're definitely very good at losing. You said you were about to lose, so why did you throw bombs to double your losses? If you weren't competitors, I'd really suspect... you were just giving Xu Miaomiao and Shen Shiyi points."

Zhong Tianba: How would I know if I'd win if I didn't bomb? What if I win? (My sister plays cards the same way, hahaha)

On the other side of Shen Huai, Xie Yunian and Su Zhi, Xie Yunian was also in a killing spree.

Su Zhi and Shen Huai's faces were covered with notes. It was okay for Xie Yunian to win, but most of the time he won by double the amount, because Su Zhi never wanted to be the landlord!

And the next one after Su Zhi was Xie Yunian, so Shen Huai had no chance to snatch the landlord.

"Su Zhi, what's wrong with you taking the landlord? You'll lose if you don't take it, so take a gamble."

Shen Huai really couldn't stand it anymore. He hadn't gotten the landlord position for several games. If this continued, Xie Yunian would win a lot of money!

"I dare not take it. I can't beat you guys together. Anyway, I don't want to be the landlord."

Su Zhi said stubbornly, when farmers at least have partners and can work together, but when they are landlords, they feel isolated.

Shen Huai was powerless to complain: "..."

[You can tell Shen Huai is devastated, hahaha. It's mainly because Xie Yunian's win was so satisfying. It was basically a landlord matchup with a double-up.]

Playing cards with someone like Su Zhi would also make me so angry. It's so boring. The landlord doesn't dare to ask for the cards, and he doesn't dare to play the cards. When asked, he always says: "Even if I bet, I can't play all the cards, but if you don't bet, others will play all the cards!"

Director Ma’s group seemed much calmer, because Director Ma was terrible at playing cards!

Gu Qiye and Jiang Rourou tried their best to score points in the first few rounds. After Director Ma realized that taking the landlord card would just give them more points, he not only didn't want the landlord card, but also refused to play the bomb.

The main goal is to drag someone down and lose with him.

"Director Ma, not only are you bad at playing cards, but you're also a bad person." Jiang Rourou was speechless when she saw it.

"Will it cost you everything to just give us a few points in a somewhat normal way?"

Gu Qiye asked the most violent words in the calmest tone.

This was the most speechless card he had ever played.

[Laughing like crazy, Director Ma: Don’t even think about making a penny!]

[It's clear that in each group, there are a few people who have become so angry that their mental state has become abnormal.]

[I think the way everyone plays cards and the frequency of their wins are normal. Shen Shiyi and Xie Yunian are so good at playing cards, it's obvious that they are not serious people.]

I think it's pretty normal. My family plays games with us during Chinese New Year, and sometimes I get into it. I'm pretty good at it among my classmates.

[The person above is still naive. This is his specialty, but he was defeated by Shen Shiyi. This shows that Shen Shiyi has more than just a little bit of talent.]

At Zhong Tianba's table, since Shen Shiyi was the landlord several times, Xu Miaomiao lost all the way with Zhong Tianba, and her big eyes were full of confusion.

"Zhong Tianba, didn't you say this was your specialty? Why can't you play many cards when you're being suppressed?"

“…Isn’t this because Shen Shiyi is better at it? But I’m pretty good at it too. My relatives and friends even gave me a nickname: The Strongest Fortune-Giving Card Player.”

Zhong Tianba was not embarrassed at all. It was normal that there were always people better than you.

He at least has a nickname, so he should be more powerful than Shen Shiyi?
