Chapter 208: You Can Die

One card was flipped, and it turned out to be blank.

Qin Shili was startled, thinking Lin Nuo would choose the blank card and lose the bet.

Fortunately, he merely eliminated the blank card.

With one useless card out of the way, only four cards remained on the table.

The gamblers couldn’t help but tense up; even though they weren’t the ones betting, the atmosphere was so intense they were sweating bullets.

So it was just an elimination. What was he planning to do with the remaining four cards? Shouldn’t he just flip the card with a pattern? It would save time.

What was this kid doing, deliberately avoiding a choice to create suspense for everyone?

As everyone watched more intently, they wished they could just reveal Lin Nuo’s cards themselves.

The Long-Haired Man’s internal joy diminished slightly; maybe he was overthinking this— the gamble wasn’t over yet.

Ha! Even if you eliminated one, the outcome won’t change. You’re still destined to lose, no way you can win.

Even if you eliminate the other four, you still won’t…

Wait, eliminate all four?!

The Long-Haired Man immediately realized Lin Nuo’s intention. Yes, if he eliminated all four, then the last remaining card would be assumed to have a pattern, regardless of what it actually was!

This…

The Long-Haired Man recognized the seriousness of the situation. No wonder Lin Nuo confidently wanted to gamble; he had been preparing for this all along!

“Then, I’ll continue. First card.”

Lin Nuo’s hand rested on another card.

“No pattern.”

The card was flipped, and indeed, it was blank.

“Next, the third card, no pattern.”

The third card was flipped, still blank.

With only two cards left, Lin Nuo didn’t make a choice, and the Long-Haired Man started sweating.

If Lin Nuo kept flipping and the fourth card was also blank, there was no way to win, even if he cheated.

The remaining two cards were controllable; if the Long-Haired Man wanted to win, he had to manipulate the card patterns based on Lin Nuo’s moves.

If Lin Nuo said it wasn’t, he could change that card to have a pattern. But Lin Nuo’s finger hovered over the fourth card without turning it.

He smirked:

“Not sure if this one has a pattern. Brother, what do you think?”

Lin Nuo tossed the question to the Long-Haired Man. The situation had flipped; it was supposed to be Lin Nuo guessing, but now it was the dealer’s turn to guess.

The others couldn’t grasp the significance of his words, but the Long-Haired Man understood: it was a provocation, a display of intelligence.

If the fourth card was blank, and Lin Nuo said “This isn’t,” he could switch it to have a pattern, and then he’d win.

Ha! You think your clever elimination will lead you to victory? Just watch me change the card!

The Long-Haired Man replied sternly:

“I don’t know. You keep choosing.”

“Ha, then I’ll pick this fourth card, no pattern.”

As Lin Nuo spoke, Qin Shili realized his plan: through elimination, he would reveal the other cards, leaving the last one definitely a pattern.

This way, even if the opponent cheated, Lin Nuo would still win.

I see.

Qin Shili couldn’t help but admire Lin Nuo’s cleverness, believing he was just guessing randomly, but in fact, he was setting the stage.

Lin Nuo reached out, ready to flip the fourth card, and at that moment, the Long-Haired Man was prepared.

Using a switch, he turned the fourth card into one with a pattern and the fifth card into one without. Now, if Lin Nuo said the fourth card wasn’t with a pattern and it was flipped, he’d lose.

Ha! You think you’re so clever, but you still can’t win! Just stay alive!

“Not true, it has a pattern.”

Lin Nuo started flipping the cards rapidly.

The fourth card was revealed, and lo and behold, it had a pattern.

The Long-Haired Man was left dumbfounded. It was I who played myself as the clown! I switched the cards, and Lin Nuo just said it had a pattern!

Freaking hell, sneaky move—no martial ethics!!!

Gambling enthusiasts gawked; it had a pattern! He flipped over the one with a pattern!

Oh my god, this dealer’s been single for over twenty years and now he can see the truth!

Qin Shili was also stunned—what was going on? Shouldn’t the fifth card have a pattern? Why was it the fourth?

She originally thought Lin Nuo was eliminating others, leaving the last card, but he said the fourth card had a pattern.

How bizarre! She’d seen it clearly; the fifth card must have the pattern, it couldn’t be the fourth.

Why was that?

Did Lin Nuo cheat, or did she misread the situation?

Qin Shili couldn’t figure it out because she didn’t know Lin Nuo was engaged in a fierce psychological battle with the dealer.

And the result of this battle was Lin Nuo winning.

The dealer also realized Lin Nuo was using elimination to remove cards, so he planned to change the fourth card when it was revealed.

But Lin Nuo flipped the script and declared it had a pattern, executing a perfect counter and playing the dealer like a fiddle.

The psychological game of gambling, where the dealer had always won through tricks, met Lin Nuo’s unconventional tactics and fell into a trap.

At this moment, a tall man in a gray robe stepped forward to take revenge:

“Brother Lin, I wonder if you’d like to bet with me?”

“Sure, I was looking for you. Same bet, gamble your life.”

Lin Nuo chuckled.
