The black player fell silent. His piece had almost been killed. If he didn't draw good cards later, betting big would be useless and would only give the opponent the pieces.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that gambling is all about luck.
“I’m betting on ending this Ascendant program, and I bet I’ll get a good hand later,” the second gambler said.
It was t10's turn to bet again. t10 tried to wager all the chips he had won before, plus all of his own, including his life and backups.
"Unequal stakes"
"Plus, what if my T10 no longer stops them?"
"Unequal stakes"
"And what about me and my fleet?"
"Unequal stakes"
It's still not enough, which was also within the T10's design scope; it's just an experiment.
"Then let's add that all mechanical creatures after T10 will no longer stop them." That would be absolutely equivalent.
"The stakes are even, shall we continue betting?"
All the gamblers chose no.
"Alright, let's begin drawing cards."
This time, t10 draws first, and the 10 of diamonds strengthens the opponent. Luck wasn't very good, and the opponent chose a piece that strengthens the Poison Dragon.
Luck also exists among mechanical beings, and even more so among them. For an experiment with an extremely low success rate, some mechanical beings need 10,000 attempts to succeed, while others only need a few hundred. Mechanical beings that can succeed in a few hundred attempts can usually succeed within one or two thousand attempts, while mechanical beings that need 10,000 attempts will need at least eight or nine thousand or even ten thousand attempts to succeed.
Currently, the most mainstream research in their Mechanical Nation is on luck, exploring whether there is a way to control it.
The second gambler drew another card and got the King of Hearts. At this point, all three cards that could increase one's strength had been drawn.
The third gambler drew an Ace, but unfortunately it was a Diamond. The player at t10 only had one piece still alive, and since there was only one target, he had no choice but to keep it.
The fourth player drew the 5 of Spades and naturally used it on the Poison Dragon piece.
The fifth person drew the 5 of diamonds and also chose to keep it.
The sixth gambler drew the 9 of hearts. Since the piece was already dead, this card directly affected the piece at t10.
Gu Lingxiao's strength increased several times over.
"This isn't my fault; I didn't know I'd draw cards that would boost my team's strength."
The sixth gambler drew the 4 of spades, which somewhat salvaged the strength of the T10 piece that had just been buffed.
The seventh gambler drew the 7 of Hearts, which greatly increased the strength of the second gambler's pieces.
Finally, it was the Poison Dragon's turn to say, "Behold my divine move!"
Poison Dragon pulled a card from the table and slammed it back down without even looking at it; it was a black and white card.
The Chaos Card was drawn.
This made all the aliens uneasy. This card could be used as any card, which meant that their side was bound to lose this round.
"Hahaha, it's all about timing and fate. After making so many preparations, I still lost because of bad luck!" The second gambler was clearly going crazy.
The other aliens were also devastated.
"Do you want to use it?" Poison Dragon was very smug. I knew I'd always been lucky.
"Use it," T10 nodded. The strongest piece at the moment was the second gambler's piece, and it was much stronger. Even a human would not be a match for it. It was bound to lose the next game, but it was interrupted by the Poison Dragon's divine move.
"Transform it into the Black King's piece that I placed for the second gambler," the moment Poison Dragon spoke, all the gamblers looked at Poison Dragon.
"this......"
"What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me? Am I surprising you? I've told you I've always been lucky."
“Indeed, you have great luck, but unfortunately, you’re not very bright,” the seventh gambler said, looking at the Poison Dragon.
"?"
"You should convert to the Ace of Diamonds and use it on my piece. Then he will regain his full strength. In the next round of gambling, as long as the aliens don't draw the Ace of Clubs and the Black Ace, they will definitely lose. After all, besides the second gambler's piece, there are still two pieces left, aren't there?"
Only then did Poison Dragon realize how stupid he had been.
"Um, um, dealer, can I withdraw and choose again?"
"Theoretically, it's not possible," the black and white mist said with a hint of amusement.
The Poison Dragon looked at the black and white mist with expectant eyes. "In reality?"
The other aliens panicked, "This won't do! How can you start over after using a card? That's not fair!"
The black and white mist ignored them and slowly said, "It's actually not feasible either."
Just as Poison Dragon was about to utter the curse, his mouth vanished, as if it had never been born at all.
As T10 watched this scene, the black and white mist gave him a sense of life, whether it was the emotional expression he had shown before or the way he was teasing the poison dragon now.
"Can we choose the Poison Dragon's piece to participate in the third match?" the second gambler asked. This guy was incredibly lucky. If they could kill his piece and bind it to their own piece, they might draw some unexpected cards.
"If the black side agrees, that's fine; if they disagree, then the dice will decide," the black and white mist replied.
The second gambler ultimately didn't choose to roll the dice, after all, their luck was really bad, and as for persuading the Poison Dragon, the possibility was even lower than the chance of them rolling the dice.
“We forfeit the third match,” the second gambler said quickly.
"Are you sure?" the black and white mist asked to confirm.
"Confirmation" is necessary because if the game continues, they will lose another piece.
"White wins the third match!" One by one, chips flew out from in front of the alien and were delivered to T10's hand.
The fourth match was also a foregone conclusion, with the white side winning. The card draw in the fourth match even increased Gu Lingxiao's strength considerably. So, the fifth match was an unexpected one, because they actually used dice and even let the Poison Dragon's pieces participate in the fifth match.
There's not much to say either; the Poison Dragon's pieces died instantly. Both games involved huge stakes because T10 bet too much, basically putting all his resources on the line.
Under normal circumstances, it would be a sure win. T10 could even bet the fleet, or even all mechanical creatures below T10. But there is a prerequisite: the pieces must execute according to his plan. However, the creature called Human was very restless and tried to break the rules many times, and almost died because of it.
Even so, the aliens suffered a great loss, and the Poison Dragon naturally lost a lot as well.
"You have to return it to me when we get back," said the venomous dragon, whose mouth had somehow appeared out of nowhere.
"No way, this is what I won. You have to win to get it back."
"Fuck xxx!" Poison Dragon's mouth was sealed again. Could the duel really end as quickly as they imagined?
