When she watched the Arbitrator's hand reach over and flip the card engraved with the vivid image of a "Dragon," the smile on Xie Antong's lips grew even more pronounced.
Even the Arbitrator responsible for flipping the cards paused his hand for a mont. The look in his eyes betrayed a hint of surprise.
The flow of sand wasn't fast, proving she wasn't overthinking at this mont either.
So how did she even guess Pleasure's card?
The Arbitrator felt sowhat bewildered, but out of his "professional integrity" as the referee, he said nothing.
He simply closed his mouth once more and reached out to take the two cards in front of Xie Antong.
At this mont, Pleasure had his fingers interlocked, hands placed before his eyes. The shadows cast over his brows and eyes, and that mouth which often curled with a hint of a mocking smile now seed to have straightened into a flat line!
Clearly, his mood wasn't exactly relaxed at the mont. Xie Antong's sudden performance had rendered him sowhat silent.
In contrast, Xie Antong at this mont wore a smile on her face, completely different from her usual expression of frowning in thought. She even leaned back in her chair.
For a mont, the ntal states of the two seed to have completely reversed, as if swapped!
"What's going on! Why does it suddenly feel like the situation has flipped?!"
"Blank, was everything within your plan all along?"
"Was her earlier performance just to lure the opponent into betting more? What exactly happened?!"
The fixed spectator seats watched Xie Antong's actions and were instantly jolted all over, finding it sowhat hard to believe.
anwhile, the Arbitrator finally flipped over the cards in front of Xie Antong.
A "3," and an "8."
Seeing these two cards, he first froze for a second, then looked up at Xie Antong.
After that, he quietly took two steps back, silently watching the two parties at the gambling table.
"Ahem, the first round of the gamble. Both sides have chosen the card combination they are playing."
"The result is..."
As he spoke, terrifying Divine Power coalesced within this space, like a natural disaster erupting, instantly throwing the entire spectator stands into chaos.
Many people scread and stood up, only to find their spiritual energy bodies confined to this small area within the stands, unable to move.
And those who wanted to exit at this mont discovered they had no idea how to leave!
"Please, all spectators, remain quiet. This is rely the normal settlent of the ga."
In the sky, formidable Divine Power coalesced into a colossal dragon that spanned the heavens, circling above Pleasure's head.
Before Xie Antong's eyes, two shields slowly materialized. Emblazoned on those shields were two numbers, precisely the numbers on the cards before Xie Antong.
Compared to the awe-inspiring divine dragon opposite, these nurical shields seed, frankly, a bit comical in appearance.
They looked like sothing from a child's ga.
Then, the settlent began. The giant dragon circled once in the sky, letting out a dragon's roar that shook the very cosmos!
Imdiately after, it charged directly at the pair of shields before it!
Boom!
Amidst the violent explosion, the shields shattered as if made of paper. Then, the dragon charged straight at Xie Antong!
Xie Antong instinctively tilted her head but did not raise her hands to block, allowing that terrifying Divine Power to smash over and pass right through her body.
—Nothing happened.
The divine dragon that seed capable of destroying everything was rely an illusion, like a 3D movie. Everything just vanished into thin air within this space.
Xie Antong was unhard, but the Arbitrator's declaration had already sounded.
"First round of the ga. The god Pleasure, wins!"
As he spoke, he waved a hand, sweeping all eight hourglasses on the table over to Pleasure's side.
Silence...
The atmosphere suddenly beca abnormally quiet.
This simple round of the ga had simply had too many emotional reversals back and forth.
Just when everyone thought Blank was completely suppressed and at a disadvantage, her attitude and will suddenly beca exceptionally resolute.
And just when people thought she had guessed everything, even the opponent's card, and wondered if she had a backup plan... she reveals her cards and loses outright?
This is purely ssing around, isn't it?!
Pleasure also lowered his hands at this mont, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly as he stared at Xie Antong across from him.
Xie Antong, however, was very calm. She showed no emotional fluctuation over losing this round. The flow of sand in the hourglass before her eyes also did not speed up.
[Heh heh heh heh... Little girl, you're putting on an act for here?!]
A sowhat ferocious smile appeared on Pleasure's face, lending his originally exceptionally beautiful features a ghostly, sinister air.
[I was almost truly intimidated by you! Little girl, you really are a bit deserving of death...]
[When you said my card, I really thought you might pull off sothing interesting. But in the end, you just peeked earlier, didn't you?!]
His hands pressed down on the table, his body leaning forward. An aura brimming with oppressive force enveloped Xie Antong sitting opposite.
Xie Antong looked back at him and spoke:
"Was there any problem with what I just said?"
"In the first round, your chances of winning were greater. You should have added chips, you did add them, and you won. So what are you angry about?"
Pleasure: ...
Without waiting for him to speak, Xie Antong continued:
"As for you wanting to know how I actually determined your card was the Dragon, there's no need for indirect probing, saying I peeked. I can tell you directly."
"Because it's very simple. Your card play, your actions, are all optimal solutions. So I concluded you are not soone who plays gas recklessly."
"My cards are numbers. Your cards are Zodiac Animals. The only possible point of correspondence between them would be the nurical order of the zodiac animals."
"Among your five cards, the Dragon's order number is in the middle. Without knowing the ga rules, playing the card with the middle order number for probing would yield the most information for you."
As she spoke, Xie Antong smiled slightly, looking up at Pleasure, and said with utmost sincerity:
"Whether human or god, everyone believes Pleasure is an entity whose actions are outrageous. Playing a ga with you should be sothing for that lunatic 'Sin.'"
"But I don't think that's the case. You are unlike him in many ways. You are the most top-notch gambler I've ever seen, with exceptionally rigorous thinking. I even think Knowledge was far more arrogant than you."
"I never expected that when playing a ga with , you would still pretend to be a ntally unstable, crazy individual. Is this a form of respect towards ?"
"Should I say thank you for your respect?"
