"I admit that your boss is very strong, but if, and I mean if, I were to use a three-support-one-carry, fully-healthy Azure Sparrow lineup, how would you deal with it?"
"With five skill points, you think you can kill me instantly?"
"Clap your hands, and wait for the draw!"
strengthen!
strengthen!
strengthen!
...
"Mihoyo, what are you doing! Ouch!"
Lin Mo stared at the boss, who was now down to his last sliver of health, his blood pressure spiked, and his vision went black.
...
Immortal Boat Luofu, Changletian, Open-air Card Room.
"It's never too late to get good cards; just wait and they'll come!"
"A card game is like a battle; you must act according to the situation."
"Oh my, I won!" A clear voice rang out, and her petite figure stood out in the noisy mahjong parlor.
With a snap, Qingque pushed over all the mahjong tiles in front of her and shouted excitedly. Her two braids bounced with the hem of her emerald green skirt, making her look very cute and tempting to tug at them from behind.
The card players on both sides stared in disbelief at the jubilant Little Blue Sparrow, wondering why this girl was having such good luck today.
Qingque ignored the incredulous looks on the two people and instead looked triumphantly at Lin Mo sitting opposite her.
"Hehe, Lin Mo, how about that? When my luck turns around, what are you going to do to stop me?!"
Lin Mo, with his long hair cascading down his shoulders and dressed in ancient-style fairy boat attire, smiled and sighed helplessly.
Qingque was so happy to win against him for two reasons: firstly, she loved playing cards, and secondly, this was only the second time she had won against Lin Mo in so many years.
The first time, Lin Mo couldn't stand it anymore and deliberately let her win, which gave her an opportunity.
And this time...
Lin Mo stood up and grabbed one of the jade tiles from her set of straights.
Upon seeing this, Qingque's expression changed drastically. She was no longer smug at all. Cold sweat beaded on her pale cheeks. She instinctively grabbed Lin Mo's wrist, and Lin Mo's movement stopped in mid-air.
Then, feeling guilty, she asked, "Lin Mo, what do you mean by this?"
Qingque spoke frantically while frantically trying to wink at him.
At this moment, the two card players next to him were also slightly taken aback and looked at Lin Mo with puzzlement.
Lin Mo simply smiled mysteriously, then ruthlessly broke free.
The paleness on Qingque's face slowly faded, and a blush slowly rose from her snow-white neck to her cheeks.
"Is cyber con artist fun?" Lin Mo asked with a gentle smile.
After saying that, he wiped the jade tablet and then placed it in front of everyone.
"Sizzle~"
After a piercing crackle of electricity, the jade plaque's patterns, which had been flowing smoothly, eventually returned to their original state...
"What! You cheated!" A fellow card player slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and glared angrily at Qingque.
"That's right, that's right! What a fine young woman, doing such a shameful thing!" Another old woman also crossed her arms, sharp-tongued, with an unfriendly expression.
Lin Mo, on the other hand, was observing Qing Que with great interest.
"Um...hehe, sorry...maybe the cards are malfunctioning? If I said I didn't cheat, would you...believe me?"
Qingque put her hands behind her back and turned her head to the side somewhat embarrassed, revealing her pink toes.
You should know that cheating is the most despised behavior in this fiercely competitive gambling world!
Lin Mo actually exposed me to my face, showing me no respect whatsoever. How am I supposed to face people at the card table now?
Thinking about this, Qingque couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable...
The two card players completely ignored her nonsense and snorted, "What's the point of playing? Oh well, let's call it a day."
After saying that, the two of them began to tidy up, their faces full of resentment.
Before leaving, one of the old men gave Qingque a long lecture.
The lecture made Qingque feel utterly ashamed, like a child being scolded by an old teacher in a private school.
Soon, only Lin Mo was left on the field, lying on a chair, playing with the jade card that she had tampered with.
After seeing that the outsiders had gone far away, Qingque recovered. She put her hands on her hips, looked at Lin Mo, her little face puffed up with anger, and said in a fit of embarrassment and rage:
"Hey Lin Mo, where did our friendship from all those years of slacking off at the Taibu Si go?! How could you be so heartless!"
Looking at the little bluebird, whose expression was a mixture of grievance and anger, Lin Mo lay back in his chair, leisurely took a sip of tea, and said:
"I finally managed to escape from the tax office to play cards and relax, but you shamelessly chose to cheat and ruin my gaming experience. Of course, I had to bravely expose you. Don't bow down to evil forces!"
"I... I just wanted to beat you one hand!" Seeing that her accusations weren't working, Qingque couldn't help but pout, quite unconvinced. "Who told you to be so good at cards..."
Ever since Qingque met Lin Mo, she has found that this man's luck is so good that it is despair-inducing. He has never lost a game involving luck, especially in the game of Imperial Jade, where he can be called the great demon of the Immortal Ship.
He utterly annihilated the entire card table, earning a fearsome reputation in the card hall. To this day, there are hardly any people willing to play cards with him anymore... After Qingque's commotion, there will probably be two more people missing.
But I digress. Let's get back to Lin Mo's strength. Even she, who was always obsessed with playing cards, was ruthlessly defeated by Lin Mo. It's unbelievable that she has hardly won anything over the years.
This guy is like he's cheating.
This sense of frustration is unprecedented.
