After the cards were dealt into the players' hands, he didn't look at his own cards right away. Instead, he stared at the cards in the hands of the other three players, scanning them one by one.
Although he hid it well, Qi Xu could still see his smugness, which further confirmed his own guess.
Having decided on what to do, Qi Xu finally looked at his own cards: two Qs, two Ks, and one A. Meanwhile, the target card displayed in the middle of the table was an A.
It was an absolutely terrible hand, but that was fine. He had friends.
Shadowkill was chosen to play first. Without much hesitation, he threw down two cards and said, Two As. His emotions didn't fluctuate at all, and it was impossible to tell if he was nervous.
Master Huixin spoke faintly, Amitabha. I challenge that. Reveal them.
Shadowkill's expression instantly changed, and the cards he had just played turned face up: one A and one K.
Qi Xu guessed that Shadowkill had probably never played this game before. Otherwise, playing one real card and one fake card—were you a master or just a fool? You might as well just take the gun and shoot yourself in the head.
Shadowkill took a deep breath, picked up the gun, pointed it at his own temple, and pulled the trigger cleanly. It wasn't a bullet. He successfully survived. Sure enough, fools have good luck with guns.
All the cards were collected and reshuffled. The target card was an A again, but Qi Xu didn't have a single one, not even a Joker. This card luck was truly...
Qi Xu was already starting to wonder if it was because he hadn't touched A'bian's little hands more before coming over. Was that why his luck was so awful?
Qi Xu quickly analyzed the situation. There were 6 real cards and two Jokers out there. That meant among the other three players, there was a high probability that two of them held three real cards in their hands.
This time, the first to play was Master Huixin. He made the same choice as Shadowkill and played two cards.
It was Qi Xu's turn to decide whether to challenge.
After hesitating for two seconds, Qi Xu also said, Reveal!
If he didn't call to reveal now, by the time the next round came back to him, the monk might have already played all his cards.
Master Huixin still had no expression. After the two cards were flipped over, they were a Q and a K. The remaining three cards in his hand were all As. Qi Xu had gambled right.
Master Huixin very calmly pointed the gun at his temple and fired a shot. It didn't go off, and he even muttered, Amitabha...
The cards were drawn again, and the third round began. This time, it was Qi Xu's turn to play first.
Qi Xu hadn't felt any ability fluctuations from HandsomeBoyMe188 next to him, so he guessed that the guy hadn't used his skills yet, and planned to just play normally.
The target card was a Q, and Qi Xu had three of them in his hand. His luck had finally turned, and he had a strong hand for once!
Qi Xu didn't show anything unusual, and even seemed a bit impatient as he copied Shadowkill and Master Huixin, decisively playing two cards.
Then he completely ignored HandsomeBoyMe188. In the first two rounds, the first player had played two cards, the next player called to reveal, and the challenge was successful.
HandsomeBoyMe188 originally wanted to call a reveal too, or directly use his ability, but... wasn't Invincible Black Whirlwind playing her cards a bit too fast? Was she trying to bait him into challenging her cards?
After hesitating again and again, he chose not to challenge and only played one card.
Only then did Qi Xu look at HandsomeBoyMe188 in surprise. Although no emotion could be seen on his face, that split-second movement was enough to let people see a lot.
As a result, Shadowkill didn't challenge either and followed by playing one card. Master Huixin didn't challenge and also played one card...
Qi Xu: .......
Then I can win now. With three Qs left, I can play them all at once. But should I win right now? Of course not. Qi Xu hesitated for a moment, then used his right hand to take the leftmost two cards from the three cards in his left hand and played them.
This time, HandsomeBoyMe188 made a quick decision, Reveal!
Invincible Black Whirlwind's two cards in the previous round must have been real. She couldn't possibly have 4 real cards in her hand, so the ones in this round must be fake!
But when the cards were revealed, HandsomeBoyMe188 exclaimed in surprise, Damn, you had 4 real cards!
Ah, the acting was too good. Just like that, this kid still believed that the two cards Qi Xu played in the first round were definitely real.
Qi Xu smiled suavely and nodded in passing. I just have good luck. As long as I keep playing real cards, you will never be able to successfully challenge me.
In this kind of situation, the more he spoke, the more confused the guy would become.
HandsomeBoyMe188's face turned dark and bruised. After the pistol appeared, he dawdled in picking it up, unable to pull the trigger for a long time.
Shadowkill was getting annoyed waiting. Brother, can you hurry up? You can't possibly lack even a single lethal protection item, right? You won't die anyway, so is there a need to dawdle so much?
Only then did HandsomeBoyMe188 forcefully pull the trigger!
Fools get delayed gun blasts. It was considered lucky for him that he wasn't eliminated. Qi Xu felt a bit regretful. With such a good hand, even though he had tricked the guy again, he failed to get him out.
The fourth round began, and the target card was a K.
HandsomeBoyMe188 played first and directly threw out three cards.
Shadowkill hesitated a bit. He wanted to call a reveal, but also felt like the guy was intentionally setting a trap for him, so he wanted to look up and see Qi Xu's opinion.
Qi Xu didn't make eye contact with Shadowkill at all to prevent Qiuqiu from judging it as cheating, but he put on a deeply troubled and bitter expression, staring at his own cards in frustration.
When had Shadowkill ever seen Invincible Black Whirlwind show so much emotion? He decisively understood. Reveal, I challenge!
Sure enough, he challenged correctly. HandsomeBoyMe188 stood up angrily. I report this! My previous and next players are cheating! He wasn't planning to challenge me at first, but after looking at Invincible Black Whirlwind, Invincible Black Whirlwind intentionally made a face at him!
System judging in progress. Judgment invalid, report failed.
HandsomeBoyMe188 completely lost his temper, cursing everyone's parents and muttering a bunch of disgusting nonsense. Finally, he didn't forcefully pull the trigger until the system broadcast started the countdown.
It still didn't go off. Qi Xu was very calm. The guy's mind was already in chaos. Next, Qi Xu just needed to be a good baby who played cards sincerely and told no lies, and that would be enough.
The fifth round of the game began.
Shadowkill was the first to play, directly throwing out two cards. Master Huixin followed with two cards. Qi Xu had good luck this time, having a full three target cards and one Joker.
However, he only played one real card.
From the moment HandsomeBoyMe188 started staring intently at the cards in the other three players' hands, Qi Xu was certain he had used his ability, most likely a skill similar to X-ray vision.
Therefore, the girl in the corner who chose to stand directly behind Xie Shaoning and showed an incredibly disgusted look probably also knew about his skill.
HandsomeBoyMe188 was dumbfounded. You have 4 real cards in your hand, and you only play one at a time? Do you have to be this cowardly?
Unfortunately, his own luck was bad this time. He only had one real card in his hand, and after hesitating again and again, he only followed with one fake card.
Qi Xu had been building up his emotions early on, and he gave HandsomeBoyMe188 an excited, provocative look. Shadowkill felt like he understood. Invincible Black Whirlwind's acting ability was truly phenomenal, as if words were literally written on her face.
