Chapter 326: Undirected Russian Roulette
Rocky put on silk gloves and adjusted the monocle in his eye socket.
He took two steps forward and walked to the gambling table.
Leaning forward gracefully, standard court etiquette.
"Now, I, the dealer of this gambling game, will introduce the rules of the game to you.
Game content:
— Non-directional Russian roulette —
Deck Introduction:
There are twelve cards in the deck.
6 [+1] Cards: Add a bullet to the revolver.
4 PASS cards: Skip one round of playing.
1 DOUBLE card: used to increase the number of shots fired at a time.
1 BOOM card: used to fire a gun.
Note: Players who draw a BOOM card must play it immediately and cannot use a PASS card to skip it.
After Rocky finished introducing the card deck, he glanced around the table and asked, "Does anyone have any objections to the deck?"
Several people shook their heads.
"Next are the rules of the game:
The game consists of three rounds.
Roll the dice to determine the dealer.
Each player starts with a hand of cards.
The dealer takes turns dealing cards, starting with the banker.
Each player needs to choose one card from the two cards in his hand.
Stop placing cards until the BOOM card appears.
After you stop placing cards, add bullets to the revolver based on the number of [+1] cards on the field.
The player who draws the BOOM card needs to use the loaded gun to play Russian roulette.
(Author's note: Russian Roulette involves placing at least one bullet in each of the six chambers of a revolver. After spinning the revolver at random, the player points the pistol to their head and pulls the trigger. Death by the bullet loses, as does stage fright.)
If the player survives, points are awarded based on the number of bullets in the pistol.
If a player dies, he is out of the game.
If there are DOUBLE cards, the BOOM card player who survives will get double the points.
Also, please note that if the player using the DOUBLE card survives and the player who drew the BOOM card survives, they will need to play Russian roulette on their own with the same gun.
If the same player draws both cards, the DOUBLE card becomes invalid.
Please use DOUBLE cards with caution."
"If the dealer's last hand still contains the BOOM card, all players must 'lay down', which means discarding all their cards at the same time. The dealer then deals the final card - the BOOM card."
There was an uproar in the venue when people heard the rules of the game.
Qi Huang said in shock, "If the BOOM card is the last one to appear... doesn't that mean the dealer's previous owner will definitely die?!"
If all the cards are played, that is, playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver, the person above the dealer, that is, the one who draws the BOOM card, will definitely die.
And although the risk of DOUBLE cards is very high, it can also greatly increase the probability of ending the game.
A card where the risk and reward are very proportional.
“What should I do? What should I do?!” Lei Ya didn’t care about the injury on her shoulder and shook Qingli’s arm desperately, “Boss… Boss is going to die!”
Jiang Luan frowned, bit his fingernails hard, and couldn't say a word.
Mr. Lodge took the cards in his hand and spread them out to the group, saying, "Do any players have any objections?"
Lu Qian knocked lightly on the table.
"Ms. Lu," Rocky leaned towards her, "please speak."
"If there are only three players," Lu Qian glanced at Rex and Lu Ao at the gambling table, "then why are the people behind us still here?"
Louis sat behind Lu Ao, Solo sat behind Rex, and behind her... sat Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi was still sitting there in a domineering manner, with his eyes half closed, and there was no sign of being poisoned at all.
But Lu Qian knew... he was already very weak and he needed to detoxify quickly.
Rocky: “Just what I need to explain, Ms. Lu.
In this game, each player has a 'hostage'.
The so-called "non-directional Russian roulette" means that at the beginning of the Russian roulette stage, the dealer will draw an identity card and first determine the "gunman" between the "hostage" and the player.
The revolver will only be loaded after the 'gun holder' is identified.
The 'gunman' can decide whether to shoot himself or his partner.
If you have a DOUBLE card, you can also choose to share the risk with your partner..."
"Wait a minute," Lu Qian frowned. "The two shots fired one after the other have completely different probability of hitting the target. How can that be called sharing the risk?"
Lu Qian turned around and glanced at Cheng Yi. Did Rex design this game because he thought Cheng Yi would never let her shoot him?
If Cheng Yi became the gunman, he would shoot himself without hesitation.
And if she became the one holding the gun, Cheng Yi would definitely let her shoot herself.
Although she was the gambling player, the risk was borne entirely by Cheng Yi.
Is this what Rex is for?
"I'm sorry, I used the wrong words," Rocky said with a smile, "but does Miss Lu have any objections to the content of the game?"
Lu Qian calmed his thoughts and continued to ask, "What's the use of the 'score' we get?"
"The last surviving player with the highest score wins and can designate any two or one player to play Russian roulette again with two bullets.
or……"
Rocky took out a syringe from his pocket and placed it in the center of the table. "Take Mr. Cheng Yi's neurotoxin antidote."
“…”
Lu Qian frowned and gritted his teeth angrily.
This game is completely aimed at the two of them.
If they want to score points, they have to draw the BOOM card and shoot.
If you don't draw a BOOM card, neither player will die, but they won't get any points either.
If you draw a BOOM card and die, you still lose.
...And in this game, Lu Ao and Rex are in the same group. No matter who wins, the result will be the same. Is this why Rex set up a three-party player?
Is there any way out of this unscathed, and even if there is, will Rex follow the rules?
He is the dealer holding the biggest chips...Why does he have to design and participate in this game?
"I know your pharmacist is very good," Rex's words suddenly interrupted Lu Qian's thoughts.
He picked up the syringe from the table and played with it in his hands, "But he only has an hour."
"Look at him, how pitiful."
He turned his head and looked at Cheng Yi with a look of regret, "His legs should be unable to move now, right?"
Lu Qian fixed his gaze on Rocky's face and said with a smile, "Mr. Rocky, do you remember our agreement?"
Rex raised an eyebrow at that, "Don't worry, sweetheart, Rocky will never take sides with me."
Lu Qian glanced at Rex's smug face and didn't respond.
Rocky nodded, "Of course."
Lu Qian retracted his smile and sat back in his chair, "We can begin now."
Rocky took out a new deck of cards from his pocket, cut it open with a knife, and placed it gently on the table.
The metal dice fell onto the table, making a dull thud.
The sound gradually faded away and the dice became quiet.
"If you have no objection."
Mr. Lodge's old but elegant voice sounded again:
"Game, start."
