Since this test is called "Yin Yang Poker", does the Yin Yang Roulette only serve to switch turns in the game?
Aren't there other methods more convenient than roulette?
While Jiang Ran was still pondering, Shan Shang pulled out a shotgun and shot the statue gatekeeper dead, and then... he met his tragic end.
Originally, I thought that if I could get rid of the examiner, there would be no more tests. But when I tried to move forward, I was blocked by a transparent film. No matter how much I knocked on it, I couldn't open it!
Damn it!
He quickly realized that there might be more than one door here, so he could only search for the next door along the edge of the ruined city, but it might take a while.
"Twin yin-yang fish..."
Now it's the third round, which means the yin-yang fish will face exactly the same direction as in the first round: black towards Jiang Ran and white towards the statue gatekeeper.
Jiang Ran played the 8 of clubs from his hand in this round!
This left Gwen somewhat bewildered. In the first two rounds, the player with the lower score won. Logically, shouldn't he play the 3 of clubs, the lowest-scoring card in his hand, in this round?
Even if we're going to play based on the highest-ranking cards, shouldn't we at least choose the 9 of Hearts instead of the 8 of Clubs?
But in the blink of an eye, Gwen thought of another possibility. The statue gatekeeper had both an A and a 10 this round, so it seemed that Jiang Ran could not win no matter what he played. It seemed reasonable to draw a random card.
The statue gatekeeper also played his hand for this round.
That was a 3 of spades.
"ah?"
Gwen wouldn't have been so surprised if she hadn't seen the statue gatekeeper's cards. Why didn't he choose the 10 and Ace, but instead played a 3 of spades that wasn't too big or too small? Was this guy throwing the game?
"Hey, hey, hey, could it be that your SSS-level talent is working, and the opponent is trying to let you win right away?"
“Little Gwen, you’re really overthinking this. You can’t skip levels in the affinity talent.”
To be honest, Jiang Ran felt that he had never drawn an SSS-level talent that could truly secure victory. But if you think about it carefully, all SSS-level talents are ultimately just auxiliary things. No matter how powerful they seem, they will eventually have their weaknesses!
"A ghost storyteller's overall strength should be a combination of his own abilities and his talents. Nowadays, everyone places too much emphasis on talents, but in reality, a ghost storyteller's intellect is more important."
Even the most powerful SSS-level talent isn't enough to allow someone to clear the game instantly. Just like Aisha's talent—it's powerful enough, right? But she still can't influence the fundamental rules of the world; what she can do is always limited.
It's not that she believes she can win and that's why she can clear the game directly; her SSS-level talent isn't that strong yet.
"These two cards have the same value, so please draw another card."
Turning her attention back to the playing cards, the statue gatekeeper claimed that the 8 of clubs and the 3 of spades had the same value, which only confused Gwen more and more.
"really."
But all of this confirmed Jiang Ran's guess.
This is actually a very simple game of comparing point values. Jiang Ran originally thought it would involve some complicated calculations based on the remaining cards in his hand, but fortunately it wasn't that difficult.
The only difference between this game and regular poker is that the Yin-Yang Roulette adds Yin-Yang attributes to both players!
Black represents the cathode, while red represents the anode!
If the color is the same as the extreme position, the number of points is ranked from high to low; otherwise, the number of points is ranked from low to high.
In the first round, Jiang Ran was the negative pole, and the statue gatekeeper was the positive pole.
Jiang Ran played the black six of spades, which matched the negative yin, so the score was exactly six.
The statue gatekeeper played the Ace of Spades, which did not match the positive polarity it was facing, so the number was reversed and became ten!
Similarly, in the second round, the Yin and Yang poles were reversed. Jiang Ran's side was facing the Yang pole, and when he played the black Ace of Clubs, it was naturally reversed to ten points, allowing him to win the game!
Hearts 9, Clubs 8, Clubs 3, Diamonds 5.
In this round, Jiang Ran's opponent returned to the Yin position. The 9 of Hearts seemed to be the highest-ranking card, but after the reversal, it only had two points left. The 3 of Clubs would not be reversed, so it was still low. As for the 5 of Diamonds, there was no need to say more.
The statue gatekeeper is facing the positive pole this round, and the 3 of spades is already the highest card he can play out of his four cards. After the reversal, it will be eight points!
Now that we've identified the pattern, we know exactly which card to play!
Of the remaining three cards, Jiang Ran could only choose the 5 of Diamonds!
The statue gatekeeper had no choice but to play the 4 of Hearts.
Because Jiang Ran played a red card, the score was reversed, becoming six points. However, it didn't really matter whether it was reversed or not, as it was still higher than the statue gatekeeper's score.
The score is now 2-1!
Now that the rules have been figured out, it's time to test your luck!
Three rounds have already been played. Currently, the diamond card has appeared the fewest times among all the cards. Jiang Ran is facing the Yang direction this round, so the diamond card cannot be flipped. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
10 of spades, Ace of diamonds, 5 of clubs, 3 of diamonds.
To be honest, this round of cards wasn't very good.
Since Jiang Ran is facing the Yang direction this round, the 10 of spades and the Ace of diamonds are the lowest-ranking cards. The only saving grace is that these two cards won't fall into the hands of the statue gatekeeper, otherwise, playing them would be a sure kill.
"His cards this round are the 10 of hearts, the 10 of diamonds, the 8 of hearts, and the 9 of spades!"
It's such a pity. The statue gatekeeper drew three useless cards in a row, and the last card was the 9 of spades. With him facing the Yin, Jiang Ran didn't have any card that could beat this card!
The score was tied again, bringing it to a decisive 2-2!
"Hey, hey, hey, why don't you seem too disappointed?"
"It's alright. Winning this game would be the best outcome, but as things stand, it's not too bad."
Although the statue gatekeeper won the fourth round, he used up three high-value cards in this round: the 10 of hearts, the 10 of diamonds, and the 8 of hearts.
In the final round, Jiang Ran faced Yin and the statue gatekeeper faced Yang. These three cards were not particularly powerful for him, but they were useless for Jiang Ran. Therefore, it would be best to use them up in this round.
The only black card with a score of 8 or higher is the 9 of clubs, while the red card is the 8 of diamonds!
If we calculate it in reverse, the only red card with a score of 3 or less is the 2 of diamonds, while the black cards with a score of 3 or less are all gone!
