Hearing Qiuqiu's guarantee, HandsomeBoyMe188 let out an embarrassed hiss. "Oh my, I'm really sorry. I'm just a straightforward guy, I say whatever comes to mind. I didn't mean anything else."
Qi Xu smiled slightly and looked straight at him. The bird that sticks its head out gets shot; I'll start with you.
Shadowkill completely understood Qi Xu's intention. He gently pushed up his glasses and gave a subtle nod, expressing that he was willing to cooperate.
HandsomeBoyMe188 wasn't panicked at all. He felt certain of victory in this kind of card game, so he wasn't afraid of offending anyone.
He even turned back to glance at Qi Xu. Qi Xu felt a faint wave of mental energy approaching and immediately activated her mental defense, repelling the energy.
HandsomeBoyMe188 was slightly surprised, but quickly pretended nothing happened and looked elsewhere.
Even before the game rules were announced, the clash between the three had already begun.
Only Master Huixin sat there holding his prayer beads, constantly thumbing through them without even opening his eyes. He was extremely calm, as if he took nothing to heart, silently chanting scriptures.
The three areas at the scene were not completely separated. The tables were quite close to each other, so everyone could easily know what was happening next door and even hear what others were saying.
Soon, the game announcement sounded again. Qiuqiu's inexplicably arrogant voice sounded quite disgusting.
[Prior declaration: During this round of the game, all items cannot be used, and all combat abilities and skills of the players are disabled. Violators will be directly sanctioned by Qiuqiu and will lose their lives.
Non-combat skills can only be used once per round. Passive skills are unaffected. During the game, players can communicate freely without restrictions.
As for the lethal protection items you all have, they are only allowed to take effect once during the Gathering of Gods. If you are eliminated from the card game, you can freely choose whether to rejoin.]
Hearing that they wouldn't die directly after losing just one round, and that a lethal protection item could still take effect, everyone present breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, from their expressions and demeanor, it was still obvious that they were all a little nervous.
Except for Qi Xu. Not only was her expression calm, maintaining a very relaxed smile all along, but she also had the mood to chat with Shadowkill, fully displaying the aura of a top-tier boss.
The bad ball probably couldn't stand seeing Qi Xu so arrogant and at ease, and said very sternly, [No chatting at the card table!]
Qi Xu immediately nodded. "Hmm? Have the rules changed again? Please state all the rules upfront and don't change them. You just clearly said that we could communicate freely, and now you say chatting is prohibited.
I remember you made a similar mistake before, and I filed a related report because the rules were not clearly stated, leading to player deaths. I hope that after so much time, you have improved.
I thought you would have made some progress after being punished, but I didn't expect you to still be like this."
[%#&@×!]
Although it was garbled text, Qi Xu could feel that Qiuqiu was cursing very dirtily.
The other players present raised their eyebrows slightly. Report? What does that mean? If they were treated unfairly by Qiuqiu, they could report it? And Qiuqiu would also be punished?
Not only did the 12 players present hear it, but all the players and Qiuqius across the entire server heard it too.
If being cursed at really made one sneeze, Qi Xu would have sneezed thousands or tens of thousands of times by now.
Only the management ball of District 88 was very calm. The interaction between humans and balls should be sincere.
As long as you do everything according to the rules and regulations and don't maliciously make things difficult for the players, why would the players report you? If you really violated the rules, it's normal for players to report you. If a player files a false report, that player will also be punished.
So fair, so reasonable.
Therefore, it immediately ignored the friendly greetings sent by many colleagues and directly led everyone in District 88 to spam the screen together: "Boss Whirlwind is awesome! Unafraid of power and daring to question, this is what a qualified leader should look like!"
By just clicking "+1", they could join the spamming. Many players found it quite interesting, and even players not from District 88 started spamming along.
Qiuqiu spouted garbled text for several minutes. Perhaps feeling the pressure, it actually apologized.
[You can chat freely without restrictions. Sorry, I didn't explain the rules clearly just now.]
Qiuqiu S1 understood the combat power of Invincible Black Whirlwind's mouth all too well. It directly stopped giving her a chance to speak and neatly announced the game rules. It originally wanted to leave some suspense or create a tense atmosphere.
Now, those thoughts were completely gone... Every time it encountered Invincible Black Whirlwind, nothing good happened!
[Poker gameplay. There are 20 cards in total, including 6 Qs, 6 Ks, 6 As, and 2 Joker cards. The Joker cards can substitute for any card. At the start, one card will be randomly selected from Q, K, and A as the Target Card, and each player will be dealt 5 cards.
Players can play 1 to 3 cards per round, claiming that the cards played match the Target Card. The next player can choose to challenge or follow. If the challenge is successful, the previous player loses; if the challenge fails, the challenger loses.
The loser must pick up the revolver in front of them, point it at their temple, and fire a shot. There are 6 chambers but only one bullet. The life-and-death punishment card game will reset periodically.
The first player eliminated will receive no reward. The third place gets 1000 points, the second place gets 2000 points, and the first place gets 5000 points. The deceased receives no reward, and the other three players at the table can equally divide all your supplies and property.]
It was indeed exactly the same as the gameplay of Liar's Bar. Some people had played it before joining the survival game, but some had only heard of or seen it, and some were only just now learning about this kind of gameplay.
For example, Comrade Xiao Xie, who had always been training in the team and had almost no personal leisure life, had a mind full of mush. He understood it, but it seemed like he didn't quite get it...
He originally wanted to choose dice, but seeing that Cheese Foam chose cards, he hesitated for a moment and still followed her. If he could be assigned to the group with Invincible Black Whirlwind and Cheese Foam, even if he lost, it wouldn't be a loss; at the very least, he would help send these two up.
Unexpectedly, he happened to be in the same group as Cheese Foam, and she was even playing after him.
Cheese Foam sighed helplessly. Having him here would just get in the way. Looking at his silly appearance, she knew he had no strategy for playing.
Hopefully, he would be able to understand her hints.
Soon, the game items appeared in the center of the table. The process efficiency was maxed out, and the game started directly.
Many players suspected that Qiuqiu was afraid of Invincible Black Whirlwind and wanted to hurry up and start the game to shut her mouth. After all, she was too brave and dared to say anything.
Qi Xu focused her attention, but not on the cards; instead, she focused on HandsomeBoyMe188 on her right.
