Zongman: I can modify the status bar

Although it was indeed Yumeko who put Mayari in such a predicament, it was not Yumeko's fault. Even without Yumeko, Mayari would have been in trouble one day.

This is the rule of this academy. There are many children from influential families in the political and economic circles in this school. To control others in the future, they will naturally need strategies and games, as well as the ability to decide at critical moments.

This was also the academy’s original idea.

People who are good at gambling here will naturally become famous. This is how Mayari became famous and popular before. Now that everyone sees that she is not doing well, they will naturally take advantage of her misfortune.

People with poor skills and no money naturally become targets of oppression.

The strong ones must severely humiliate the weak ones!

To be more specific, because of the class system, students who independently manage school-related business will need to pay a fee, and the level of their class will be determined by this amount.

The rankings are not released regularly and are only displayed when there are major changes.

Generally speaking, among the approximately 3,000 students in the school, the last 100 students will be regarded as uncooperative students, commonly known as "livestock."

As for the specific names of domestic animals, boys are usually called puppies and girls are called kittens, etc. If you want to call them more insulting words, the student union generally won't care. After all, they don't care about the feelings of these domestic animals.

Of course, this trend of humiliating those in lower positions has not always been the case. At least it was not so serious earlier. It all started two years ago.

Ever since the current student council president took office.

Momobami Kirari is the 105th president of the student council of Hyakkaou Private Academy.

Most of the students actually study in junior high and high school consecutively. After all, they are all children from aristocratic families. Special admissions students like Saotome Meiari are only a very small minority.

However, just like Yumeko, Momobami Kirari transferred here from high school for some reason. She also transferred here from high school and then suddenly became the president.

He gambled with the then student council president for the position of president and won in the end.

It sounds like a joke, but this is the magical part of this academy. The so-called student union is the most powerful gambling team in this academy. Whether it is related technology or funds, they are at the top of the academy.

It is quite impressive that Momobami Kirari was able to defeat the top figures at that time. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be successful.

After taking office, she resolutely decided to reform. The payment and livestock systems were decided by her at that time and have been implemented to this day.

It was from that time that the awareness of differences within the entire academy became increasingly stronger, leading to the current situation.

Of course, there is another important reason why everyone is attacking Saotome Meiari after she lost to Yumeko.

That was because she relied on the relationship she had built up based on some debts she owed to her at the time, and asked her classmates to help her, but she still lost in the end and still owed so much.

Of course, the most fatal thing was that it happened to be the day when the payment had to be made. Meiari, who was already in debt, had no money to pay the payment, so she would be sanctioned by the student union.

Now the students who were previously controlled by Mayari naturally turned around and started to show their displeasure towards Mayari, who had been reduced to a livestock.

However, no matter how you look at it, it seems like the student union did it on purpose, but Haruki has no evidence.

These are the more specific information that Haruki has obtained from his classmates. He hopes that understanding these will be helpful for his future actions.

"Yezi?" Haruki stretched out his hand and waved in front of Yumeko's eyes. He didn't expect that she could still be distracted?

Following the direction of Mengzi's gaze, Haruki looked towards the second floor above his head. A group of people were gathered around a table and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

"Fullhouse! I won!" A short-haired girl cheered with her arms raised, very excited. It seemed that she had won a big one.

These students are really hopeless. They are even playing games during lunch break.

Yaohui also focused his attention on the short-haired girl wearing a big hairpin, and then her relevant information was immediately displayed.

Huang Yiyue, the daughter of a major toy manufacturer, excels at card games. She is a member of the student council at the private Hyakkaou Academy, a first-year student in the Chinese class. She excels at card games and, as the daughter of a major toy manufacturer, paid a large sum of money to join the student council. While her gambling skills are stronger than those of the average soldier, she is the weakest on the student council.

"Hey! What are they playing? It seems very interesting!" Mengzi excitedly pulled Haruki's sleeve. After all, their identities were swapped now, so Mengzi would get Haruki's consent before continuing with anything.

"She's the daughter of a large toy manufacturer, very wealthy. Although her abilities aren't very impressive in the student council, she's legendary for being undefeated at playing cards. Now that we're broke, I think we should..."

Haruki was about to persuade Yumeko not to fight her for the time being, but he saw that Yumeko became even more excited.

……

Chapter 199 The Challenge of the Rich Girl

"What? Undefeated!" Mengzi was excited when she heard this, her eyes widened. "This is really amazing! I really want to fight her once!"

"No... I think we should be more conservative. You achieved your goal after defeating Meiari yesterday. There's no need to provoke those people in the student council now."

Yaohui's idea was very simple. On the one hand, Huang Yiyue was a member of the student union. On the other hand, this guy was too rich and there was no need for him to cause trouble.

"Hmm? Could it be that...Brother Hui thinks I will lose to her?" Mengzi suddenly came forward ambiguously and looked closely at Haruki who had a serious face.

"That's not the case. The main thing is..."

Just as Haruki was about to persuade Yumeko not to provoke this guy for the time being, and even if they had to do it, it would have to wait two days until they had gained a firm foothold, a figure had already arrived in front of Haruki and Yumeko's table.

"Jabami-senpai!"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Huang Yiyue from the first-year Chinese class."

"I hope you can remember me."

"Why suddenly..." Yaohui turned his head and saw a short-haired girl in a uniform and a hairpin standing not far from the two of them with her hands behind her back.

"Senior is quite famous!" Huang Itsuki came up to Yumeko and complimented her. "After all, she defeated Saotome-senpai miserably right after she transferred here!"

"I'm actually pretty confident about gambling, and I thought it would be fun to try a competition!"

"Okay! Definitely!" Mengzi glanced at Haruki out of the corner of her eye and immediately agreed.

Although Yaohui planned not to provoke these student union guys for the time being, the situation has changed now that they have come to him. There is no retreat, so let's do it!

"Yes, yes, yes! That's right!" Huang Yiyue had a sly smile on his face, as if his plan had succeeded. He then took Mengzi to find an empty seat and prepare to start the duel.

In order not to attract the other party's attention, Yaohui just went upstairs with the other students who were watching the fun.

"What type of games does Jabami-senpai like to play?" Huang Yiyue asked politely. However, for Mengzi, whose interest had already been piqued, it was natural to compete in the other party's best area, which would be more interesting.

"I'm fine with either. It's up to you to decide." Mengzi said with a smile.

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Huang Yiyue said, and the corners of his mouth began to rise uncontrollably. Sure enough, Jabami Yumeko was as arrogant as the rumors said, but since she was able to defeat Saotome, it meant that she did have certain strength.

"So... as for the specific game type, how about using Double Neurasthenia?"

“Like the name suggests, it requires two decks of cards.”

"Although it's the same principle as a normal neurasthenia, if the suits are different, it doesn't count as a correct guess. So, with two decks of cards, and 104 cards in total, only one set counts as a correct guess."

"I see, it's very interesting! Please let me join in!" Mengzi was also very interested after listening to the rules of the game. Deep down in her heart, she had begun to yearn for the excitement and the satisfaction of finally defeating her opponent. This feeling made her unable to extricate herself.

"Okay!" Huang Yiyue agreed very calmly, and the game items of the competition were determined.

The rules of the game are actually very simple.

Two decks of cards are shuffled and covered on the table. Two cards are turned over to find matching pairs. If the two cards are the same, they can be kept. If they are different, they need to be covered again. The goal is to remember the position of each card in order to successfully match them.

Two decks of cards are used here, so they must be exactly the same to be matched, which is much more difficult than normal.

What is most needed here is memory. As long as you can remember the positions of the unpaired cards turned over by yourself and your opponent, it will be easier to win.

"Once the rules are set, then... the key stake..."

Huang Yiyue took out two chips from a suitcase beside her and placed them on the table. "How about 20 chips worth one million issued by the Student Union? How about million?"

Perhaps it was because she heard about the duel between Yumeko and Saotome yesterday, Yumeko immediately took out 10 million in cash, so Huang Yiyue chose an amount of 20 million which she thought was more reasonable. Although she was very rich, it would be boring if the opponent's bet was too little and the game could not be played or the opponent was scared away.

I thought Mengzi would nod and agree like she did just now, but she shook her head.

"What a pity... I don't have that much money on hand..."

"I can't raise 20 million right now..."

Yumeko's behavior made Haruki wonder what she was thinking. Perhaps this was part of the plan. Although Yumeko could not compare with the rich girl in front of her, she could easily come up with 20 million or even tens of millions. This was probably just a strategy to let the other party relax their vigilance.

"Eh? Unlike your appearance, you spend money lavishly!" Huang Yiyue was a little disappointed. She thought she had calculated carefully enough, but she didn't expect to make a mistake in the gambling money.

"Could it be that you have gambling debts?" Huang Yiyue immediately started to provoke Mengzi, wanting her to not give up the duel with him. After all, everyone knew that Mengzi won a great victory yesterday, so it was impossible for her to be without money, let alone have gambling debts.

"But don't worry, I'll lend you 20 million! And there's no interest!" Huang Yiyue saw Mengzi still hesitating, and immediately started plan B.

"Hey! But what good will this do for Junior Sister Huang Yiyue?" Mengzi asked the girl in front of her with a worried look on her face.

"To be honest, 20 million is nothing to me. If everyone is interested in my company's playing cards, it will create greater value! This can also be regarded as a part of the publicity activities!" Huang Yiyue said calmly that 20 million was nothing to her, which made Yaohui hate her so much. Rich people are so hateful!

At this time, Haruki also noticed that there were monitors placed in the open spaces on the walls of the school lounge, and they were broadcasting live footage of Huang Yiyue, Yumeko and the others.

It seems this guy really intends to use this to help advertise his company's playing cards. As expected of a businessman's son, he's born with such a business acumen...

"If that's the case, I have no reason to refuse anymore! Please let me participate!" When Mengzi heard that the other party was willing to lend her money and gave such a reason, she immediately agreed to the duel.

"OK! Then the bet is established!" Huang Yiyue also looked at Mengzi excitedly.

"Finally took the bait!"

……

Chapter 200 Far ahead

Huang Yiyue calmly took out a brand new deck of playing cards from the suitcase he was carrying, placed it in the palm of his hand and aimed it at the camera not far away. At the same time, the images of the playing cards were displayed on all the monitors.

"Just as I explained earlier, I've prepared two brand new decks of playing cards."

"By the way, this is my main product, La Colette."

"It's the second best-selling playing card on the entire market!"

"Its selling point is that it feels very comfortable in the hand!"

"Please review this more often!"

Yaohui originally thought that Huang Yiyue would just use his own brand and show his face, but he didn't expect that he would actually start promoting the product in front of the camera. It's really amazing...

After the commercial break, Huang Yiyue came to the card table, took out her pink manicure and neatly cut open the plastic cover of the playing cards. She shuffled the two decks of cards, cleaned them evenly, and then covered them on the card table one by one.

Mengzi and Huang Yiyue stood opposite each other on both sides of the card table, everything was ready!

"Double nervous breakdown, starting now!"

"You're in danger, senior. I'll let you go first!" Huang Yiyue was calm and composed, and appeared very modest to outsiders. But in fact, going first in this game doesn't give you much advantage, unless you have perspective and can clear the table in one shot. Otherwise, going first without knowing the cards at all is just making things difficult for your opponent.

"Ha! Thank you so much!" Mengzi did not show any hesitation. Perhaps in her opinion it did not matter.

"Well...there's no need to hesitate about taking the initiative!"

Mengzi then started flipping the cards. The first card turned over was a 4 of hearts, and the second card turned over was a 4 of diamonds. The two cards were not exactly the same, so the pairing failed.

"Both cards are 4 but they don't count under this rule. That's right." Mengzi didn't react much and simply put the two 4s back on.

"That's right, it's my turn next!" Huang Yiyue's eyes were fixed on the cards on the table, and she started pairing as soon as Mengzi stopped.

"Just aim for the 4 of Hearts or the 4 of Diamonds!"

This is the most basic idea. Although Huang Yiyue has the advantage of the opponent's first move, it is not easy to find a suitable pairing card from the remaining 102 cards.

The essence is that two people try and error together to see who has better memory and luck, so they can seize the initiative. However, in the early stages, it is usually luck. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to know the cards in advance. Of course, it is hard to say whether there are any cheating methods.

Mengzi and Huang Yiyue went back and forth, turning over almost half of the playing cards. At this point, most of the cards were basically known, and it all depended on who had a better memory.

"Ah! It's the 4 of Diamonds!" Mengzi found another 4 of Diamonds, so now she just needs to find the 4 of Diamonds that she turned out before to successfully match it!

"I feel like I'm right here..." Mengzi muttered to herself as she found the first 4 of diamonds she had turned over from its previous position.

"That's great!" Mengzi looked happy. After all, this was the first time the two of them had been successfully paired, and it had just opened.

"If you guess correctly, you can try again, please." Huang Yiyue stood opposite with his hands behind his back, looking very well-behaved, and seemed to have no emotional changes in this situation.

It was as if the game with Yumeko was simply to advertise his own playing cards, as if winning or losing didn't seem to matter much. Of course, the possibility of him having a poker face was also possible.

Mengzi was not polite either, and this time it was her turn again.

“Flip!”

"The 7 of diamonds... the King of clubs, oh my, I guessed wrong, what a pity..." Mengzi's killing streak was interrupted.

"Oh? The King of Clubs, I remember this one appeared!" Huang Yiyue immediately became excited. This was the card she had turned over not long ago. Even Yaohui, who was watching the fun, remembered it.

"Here!" Huang Yiyue casually flipped over a King of Diamonds at hand and successfully matched it.

"Oh! Huang Yiyue is not a pushover either!"

"Now the game is going to be interesting!"

The students who were watching the fun upstairs and downstairs also joined in the fun, and the whole atmosphere became heated.

In the following scoring, the two players chased each other and took turns to lead, making it difficult to determine the winner.

After a period of tense pairing, the scores of the two temporarily stabilized.
