Fang Mingyuan had dinner and went to play basketball on the sports field, Qian Jiahui seed to be on a date, and Xu Daguan was roaming the campus, doing an outdoor live stream.
Hu Wenwu headed to the library, Liu Yu clutched his textbooks and blended into the self-study room, already starting his sprint for the scholarship.
Lin Baici looked at the deserted dormitory and suddenly realized he had entered a life of loafing-around.
This won’t do!
What had to be learned, had to be learned.
In the future, exploring God’s ruins, I might encounter God Hunters from various countries, so mastering one or two foreign languages was necessary.
Let’s start with English today!
Lin Baici took out his English book, ready to morize vocabulary.
“Eh?
Baici, are you the only one in your dorm?”
Zhang Zhixu, who looked like a sorghum stalk, pushed open the door and glanced inside.
“What’s up?”
We were all in the sa class, and during military training, I stood in line with him.
“Cards, co join us!”
Zhang Zhixu called out, “Hurry up, we’re just one short!”
“I’m going to morize so words!”
Lin Baici shook his English book.
“morizing words late at night?
morize them in the morning, I’ll call you for early self-study.”
Zhang Zhixu urged, “Co on, let’s go!”
“Playing what?”
Lin Baici closed the book, locked the door, and went next door to play cards.
“Fight the Landlord!”
The card ga began.
Lin Baici and Zhang Zhixu were on the sa team.
An hour and a half later, unless the cards dealt were particularly bad, Lin Baici and Zhang Zhixu had not lost a ga.
“Damn, today’s ga is aweso!”
Zhang Zhixu was happily rubbing his hands, and although it was just for fun with no stakes involved, winning definitely felt great, especially when it was so thoroughly.
“Here, let’s switch places, I’m not lucky on this side!”
Chen Kaiwei attributed the loss to bad luck.
“No way!”
Zhang Zhixu refused; he hadn’t had his fill of fun yet.
“Shit, I don’t believe this!”
Chen Kaiwei lit a cigarette, “Another round!”
He was a bit upset from losing too much.
“Old White, can you really rember all 108 cards?”
Apart from the four playing cards, there were another four or five onlookers who had nothing better to do and ca to watch.
One of them, wearing glasses and looking scholarly, was nad Zhou Jing.
He suddenly spoke up and asked.
Everyone paused upon hearing this, then looked towards Lin Baici.
“Really?”
“If I put my mind to it, I can rember 54 cards, but morizing such a huge stack is just too brain-wracking!”
“Old White might really be able to rember.
Have you guys noticed, especially during the last few rounds, he plays his cards with incredible precision!”
Thinking it over, everyone realized it was true; Lin Baici and Zhang Zhixu’s victories were mainly due to Lin Baici’s excellent card-playing.
“Old White, can you actually rember them all?”
Zhang Zhixu was astonished.
“I can only rember a few!”
Lin Baici replied with a slight smile.
“Stop being modest.
I am an observer, so I see clearly; in many rounds, your hands were about the sa, but you played exceedingly well, especially in these last few rounds.
You were like soone who had activated God’s eye view, you always managed to trump the other team just right!”
Zhou Jing, the student with the highest college entrance exam score in the software engineering major, initially watched the card ga just to kill ti, but eventually, he noticed sothing extraordinary about Lin Baici.
This guy was counting cards.
With Chen Kaiwei’s reckless tactics, he was practically gifting the ga.
“Old White, you don’t have a photographic mory, do you?”
Zhou Jing was curious.
He was very intelligent; if not for an underperformance in the college entrance exams and his reluctance to spend another year in prep, he wouldn’t have co to Haijing Polytechnic.
“No,”
Lin Baici thought to himself that photographic mory might be beyond him, but ‘Guo Er Cheng Song’—passing ears recitation—was true.
Playing cards was just for fun, Lin Baici didn’t want to count them, but the problem was that these guys said out loud every card they played, hence he couldn’t help but rember.
“If you ask to focus intently on morizing a few dozen cards, I can probably rember them all, but to rember them after playing for over an hour, now that’s impressive!”
Zhou Jing admitted his envy.
“No, I believe Old White can rember the cards, but rembering them doesn’t necessarily an you’ll win, right?
After all, how would he know what cards the opponents have left?”
Chen Kaiwei was puzzled.
Zhou Jing looked skeptically at Chen Kaiwei, and his gaze plainly asked: How did you even get into Haijing Polytechnic?
Pulled so strings, maybe?
“There are patterns to follow.
As soon as you start playing cards, you begin revealing what you’ve got left in your hand.
For example, if you play an Ace, it ans either you have no more Aces or just a pair of Aces.
A few rounds later, depending on whether you play singles or doubles, the way you play will reveal what you’ve kept back, right?”
Zhou Jing explained, “The fewer cards you have left, the higher the accuracy of Old White’s deductions on what’s remaining in your hands.”
“Of course, to do this, you need to rember every card each person has played, the order of the cards, and even the habits of the cardholders.
The more you play, the more familiar Old White becos with your style, and the less chance you have of winning, unless you get a really good hand and also manage not to make mistakes.”
Everyone was stunned and then looked towards Lin Baici.
“Do you really play cards like that?”
Everyone was curious.
“It’s not as exaggerated as Old Zhou says!”
Lin Baici admitted, although in truth, it was exactly like that.
He must have been affected by consuming the teorite and God’s bones, as his brain capacity seed to have expanded; it was as if his CPU had been upgraded.
Anyway, when he managed all these calculations, it wasn’t tiring at all; rather, he found it quite effortless.
“Damn, ruthless!”
Zhang Zhixu was dumbfounded, realizing it wasn’t just his luck that was good today!
“…”
Chen Kaiwei opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but he didn’t know what to say.
“Old White, you’re done for, from now on nobody will want to play cards with you!”
