Zongman: I can modify the status bar

"Stronger or Weaker, strong order or weak order, in ordinary poker, victory or defeat is of course determined by the quality of the cards, but in this game, those who are given the right to choose can choose whether the strong or the weak will win." The vice president continued to explain the rules of the game.

"Strong order is just like regular poker. The player with the best hand wins. On the other hand, weak order reverses the order, so the player with the worst hand wins. In other words, as long as you have money, you can have the strongest hand with a loose hand."

"It's a very suitable gambling for our academy, right?"

"Those are the rules."

"And the most important thing is, there's no upper limit on your betting money, so go ahead and bet as much as you can!"

"I see!" Mengzi finally understood. "Even if you're unlucky, you can still win as long as you have money!"

The rules are pretty simple, even Haruki understood them right away. Just because you have a lot of money, you can set the rules directly. That's crazy.

"This seems like some kind of broken rule!" Mayari cursed, biting her lip.

"Oh no, they are so shameless!" Huang Yiyue rarely showed a worried look.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Haruki only knew how to win casually, and he really didn't understand anything else.

"Don't you understand? No matter how you think about it, Yumeko is completely at a disadvantage under this rule. It can be said that she has almost no chance of winning." Mayari also began to worry about Yumeko. If it was simply a competition of who had more money, then Yumeko's situation would definitely not be optimistic.

Chapter 244 Still Have to Act

"There's no objection from either side, right?"

The vice president stood in front of the table, his voice without any emotion after voice modification.

"Ah."

"can."

The rules were very clear, and Mengzi and Mameuda Feng nodded in agreement.

"Well then, let's start [Choose Poker]!"

Obviously, in the eyes of others, this is a game that is more favorable to the rich. If you have a small hand, then choose a weak sequence, otherwise choose a strong sequence. As long as you have money, you can make the rules more favorable to you.

"One chip is worth 10 million. How many do you want?" the vice president asked, picking up a red and black chip printed with "Private Hyakkaou Academy Student Union Recognition: 10 Million."

"In terms of cash, I currently have 31 million. Please give me coins." Mengzi replied. These were the most he had gotten, and a large part of them were unpaid debts, so they could not be counted.

"Dou Shengtian Feng?" The vice president said nothing and turned to look to the other side.

"Oh, anyway... let's start with a hundred." Dou Shengtian Feng said such a large number very easily. The amount is equivalent to 1 billion. If the debt is paid, Mengzi can also be so unrestrained.

Haruki didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he had made a lot of money from opening the market these days, and he had kept a lot of reserve funds just in case. However, this kind of game was simply giving away money. There was no need to spend money to gain an advantage. Haruki could just help Yumeko change. There was no need to watch. No matter how much Mamoda Kaede took, it was all given in vain.

But then again, it's a bit disgusting that the student union is so rich, but still refuses to pay the debt. Of course, there are also benefits. The accumulation of various events has made the prestige of the student union in the academy worse day by day. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people saying that Yumeko would replace it as soon as possible.

The game begins and the cards are dealt.

"First, there's the participation fee. Each side pays one coin." That's the base.

They each put in a chip, and Mengzi picked up her cards and asked, "Ah! By the way, how is the strength of the scattered cards determined? I've never played a game that aimed for weaker hands."

In fact, Mengzi's questions were not simply asked to help herself, but more importantly to help Haruki. He might not be so familiar with the rules here. It is simple to change the big picture, but the opposite requires some theoretical foundation.

"For scattered cards, the one with the highest rank is considered stronger. For example, if you have a King and a Ten scattered, the King is stronger."

The vice president continued to explain the rules without any emotion.

"Is that so? Thank you!" Mengzi thanked. Of course, Haruki was also very grateful for the vice president's enthusiastic explanation.

But this innocent conversation was a completely different story for the man with glasses across from him. "Are you pretending to be a loose hand? You're being too smart!"

He is still very imaginative, and being too thoughtful is not necessarily a good thing.

"Then I'll change two cards!" Mengzi took out two cards from her hand, and then drew two more cards from the deck.

"Change it!" Madoka Maple changed it.

"Both parties have confirmed their cards, and the betting begins!"

Mameuda looked at the discarded cards on the ground and pondered the cards in Yumeko's hand. "Jabami replaced the J and K. If he's aiming for a small hand, it makes sense to discard the big one..."

"But! There's also the possibility that the remaining three cards are three of a kind! There's also the possibility that they deliberately left an Ace behind, pretending to be trying to win a low card and tricking me into competing."

"I have a hand of scattered cards that don't form a straight. Jabami, do you want to bet on high or low? I need information to calculate."

"Let me try to see what brand you are!"

Dou Shengtian Feng adjusted his glasses out of habit, and then took action.

"Bet 10!"

One hundred million right off the bat, everyone present was undoubtedly jaw-dropping. The student union was indeed wealthy and powerful, and their spending was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Jabami? Do you want to raise the bet again?" The vice president was obviously a man who had seen the world, and he still looked coldly at Yumeko's side.

"Hmm..." Mengzi pretended to think for a second, then picked up a large stack of chips and placed them in front of her.

"Ten more coins, a total of 10 coins."

If the opponent, Kaede Doushengtian, is wealthy, then Mengzi's way of playing is a bit wasteful. Even if Mengzi has a lot of money, she is definitely not as well-off as the student union in terms of foundation. After all, the monthly contribution is a considerable amount. Mengzi only has 31 chips in her hand now. If she loses, her chips will be reduced by more than half.

Haruki: It doesn't matter, I'm counting the cards...

This game only uses a deck of cards. Excluding the three cards that were just exchanged by the two people, plus the ten cards in hand, the remaining cards after excluding these thirteen cards are the ones that Haruki can choose. Otherwise, it would be nonsense to make two cards that are exactly the same.

"Mabuta Kaede, do you want to raise the bet?"

"No need." Dou Shengtian Feng refused to follow the bet without thinking. After all, this was just a test. If he lost, he lost. It was only one hundred million.

"Then the winning bettor, Jabami, gets to choose: Big or Small?"

"Is that so? Then I choose the bigger one!" Mengzi said slowly as if she made the choice after careful consideration.

"Okay, let's compare the big cards. Both sides open their cards!"

Maple Mameda: J,K,10,9,2.

Jabami Yumeko: A,K,J,4,5.

"I'm a scattercard."

"Scattered cards."

"Both sides had scattered cards, but Jabami, who had the Ace, won."

Mengzi won the first round, and the financial gap between the two was finally narrowed a little.

However, Haruki did not change the cards in this round. He just looked at the cards in Mameuda's hand, then compared the two and told the result to Yumeko. This way he could act more realistically. Yes, it made the acting more realistic.

The moment the vice president put away the cards and started shuffling before starting the next round, there was no longer any suspense about the outcome of this game.

His technique was clean and efficient, and he dealt the cards to the two of them in just a few seconds.

"Hmm... what should I do? It's hard to play because I'm not familiar with the rules." Mengzi started acting again. After knowing that she didn't need to count the cards extra, Mengzi felt more relaxed.

On the other side, Mameuda Feng seemed to have seen through everything. "I understand it all now. This game is different from the others. There's no point in raising a large amount. Adding one more chip than the opponent will give you the option."

"So this is essentially a chip-by-chip battle. Large raises only serve as a deterrent, nothing more."

"But if we encounter a well-funded opponent, one more coin will cause us to collapse. In conclusion, there are only risks and no benefits."

"Despite this, Jabami Yumeko still dares to do this because... she's crazy!"

……

Chapter 245: A Reversal of the Situation

"That's right, she must be crazy. This guy can actually find joy in taking risks. If I hadn't heard about him beforehand, I would definitely be confused by such illogical behavior. In this way, I can also take Jabami's behavior into account. Thank you so much, Nishidoin, Namashima, Yume..."

“Thank you for being my stepping stone!”

Mameuda Kaede's status: very proud.

Yaohui:?

No, why are you so proud? Judging from his expression, he probably thinks he has understood everything. He acts as if the mistake just now never happened. This guy is really hopeless.

The current chip situation is that Mengzi has 42 chips and Dousheng Tianfeng has 89 chips. The gap has been narrowed a lot. If we only look at the apparent financial comparison, there is a chance of a reversal under normal circumstances, not to mention that they are cheating.

The problem is that this is not a normal situation. Maple Mameda's wealth is definitely more than this, so if we rely solely on Yumeko, it will still be unstable.

"Want to change the cards?"

"Hmm... let me think about it... then I'll change two cards." Mengzi still used the same routine as the previous round to confuse the opponent, but this time the confusing behavior was indeed too confusing.

"Huh? Switched the pair of tens?"

"What does this mean?"

"Why throw away such a big card?!"

"This is simply unreasonable!"

The audience couldn't help but stand up to confirm whether they had seen it wrong. A pair is not a small card in a regular game, so it is really hard to understand why such a big pair is thrown away. However, Haruki doesn't need to understand. He just needs to remember to remove the two tens and leave the rest to Yumeko.

Dou Shengtian Feng, who had been full of pride just now, now became serious again. Such an aggressive style of play still made him a little overwhelmed.

"I can think of two things. One is that Yumeko aimed at the scattered cards, but the choice is mine. Deliberately aiming at the scattered cards is undoubtedly a suicidal act."

"Another way is when they have two pair or a full house and pretend to be trying to win with a low hand, waiting for me to win with a set or a pair when I choose to win with a high hand."

"But the probability of having two pair is only 4.75%, and the probability of a full house donkey is even lower at 0.14%. Even if she gets lucky and gets it, can she just give it up?"

"Don't take the risk of waiting for the other party to win more than the big rage, right?"

"So whether Jabami's behavior is because he got a good hand or used it as a cover, it's unreasonable in a double sense!"

"If it were an ordinary opponent, the fact that I was sitting at a table gambling with Yumeko would be incredible in itself. I've also heard of people using unconventional methods to defeat student council members..."

"This guy is so incredible..."

"Dou Shengtian! What are you going to do?" The vice president couldn't stand it anymore. This guy has been silent for a long time. He was just playing Go and needed to think for a long time?

Having his thoughts interrupted, Madoka Madoka didn't say anything, but simply spread his cards on the table.

"Do you want to change five cards?" asked the vice president.

"No, I won't change!" Mameda Feng's actions left everyone confused. Only Haruki was thankful that he didn't have to change five cards. Otherwise, he would have to remember five more cards, which would have been a lot of work...

"What...what's going on?"

"Are you trying to trick them into placing a bet? As long as Yumeko gets the option, she'll definitely win. If she wants the option to survive, she'll have to place a large bet."

"On the other hand, if Mengzi is not confident in her opponent's position, she should just fold and wait until she has a good hand to decide the outcome. What the hell is this guy doing?" Huang Yiyue looked at Dou Shengtian Feng on the stage. She didn't understand what the other party's intention was, but it was definitely not good for Mengzi.

It looks like an idiot, a completely suicidal act, but I just don't understand.

"Ahaha, hahaha... really good, is this a challenge letter? How can I admit defeat when it's so powerful?" The opponent was so crazy. This was something Mengzi didn't expect, and it directly led Mengzi into the second stage.

Jabami Yumeko: Crazy gambling state.

With a scarlet glow in his eyes, Mengzi pushed forward all three stacks of chips in front of him and said, "41 chips!"

"Ah? Everything is blocked! Why is this happening?" Huang Yiyue collapsed.

"It turns out that Yumeko's character has been completely seen through!" Mayari's mentality also collapsed.

Only Haruki continued to comfort the two people around him very steadily, because he had not told anyone about his ability. Even Yumeko only guessed a little about it. As for the others, they had no idea what was going on.

And Madoka Kaede on the stage has already made a decision.

"Add one more!"

"Jabami? Are you still talking?" The vice president said to Mengzi on the other side.

"No more." Yumeko has already bet everything, at least she doesn't have any chips left on the surface. Haruki, Sumeragi Izuki, and Meiari in the audience still have some money, but there is no need to use it now.

"Dou Shengtian. Make your choice!" The right of choice belongs to Dou Shengtian, who is one chip ahead. This is the result that has been known before it even starts. It depends on what the other party chooses.

"Bigger!"

Maple Doushengtian chose Bida without any hesitation.

Huang Yiyue was sweating profusely for Mengzi. "No hesitation, no problem. Indeed, even if it were me, I would have made a big bet like this. Mengzi has a pair of tens, and there's a high probability that he has a small hand. It's a reasonable approach. No... no, I should still choose to trust Mengzi-senpai's ability!"

"That's it, just believe it!" Mayari also said so. After all, that was how it happened when she faced Yumeko before, and Yumeko would definitely be the winner in the end.

Haruki had already produced a result that satisfied Yumeko while chatting and laughing. After all, the opponent had already made his cards clear, so it was very simple.

"The bets are placed, then..."

"Both sides open!"
