The so-called “neurasthenia” was a card game that tested memory and strategy.

Similar to the “number duel,” this game was usually played in the form of two or more people.

Play style:

First, he prepared a “deck” of cards, excluding the big and small Kings. Then, he shuffled the remaining fifty-two cards, with their backs facing up, and placed them on the table.

Then, one of the two sides (or multiple parties) would start to flip the cards.

!!

The replicer could flip two cards at a time. If the points of the two flipped cards were the same, the replicer could take the two cards and gain the right to flip two more cards. On the other hand, if the points of the two flipped cards were different, the one who flipped the card had to cover it and change hands.

And so on, until all the cards were flipped, the party with more cards would win.

The above was the most basic “neurasthenia” Under this set of rules, there was almost no room for strategy. It was a game of ” 90% memory and 10% luck.”

However, there were many ways to play neurasthenia. With the addition of some new rules, the game would become quite complicated and interesting …

For example … The “difference score system”, which was “it doesn’t look at who flipped the cards more, but the total points of who flipped the cards are greater”.

Another example was … Adding the Joker cards (the big and small Kings) on the basis of the “difference score system” and setting a rule that “those who successfully turn out a pair of joker cards can immediately exchange points with the other party”.

In these two modes, the importance of luck and strategy was obvious.

In addition, there were various ways to increase the difficulty of the game, such as a setting where “you can only score if you use two hands of cards, but after flipping, the points and suits are the same”,”if you flip a specific combination (for example, if you flip two cards that have different points but have the same suit, or if you flip two cards that have 13 points added up), you will be penalized,” as well as a “limited time for flipping cards”.

In short,”neurasthenia” had a variety of changes, but in any case, there was one thing that would not change. A strong “memory” was the most powerful weapon in this game.

…………

It was one in the morning.

The preparations for the “triple neurasthenia” game were ready.

The second round of the game was based on an Elimination System.

Sixty-four players would fight one on one, and the one who won three consecutive matches would enter the top eight and become the winner of the night.

As for the 56 losers, they weren’t as miserable as the losers in the previous round … At this time, all the remaining U.S. Dollars in their hands had been deducted from the “loan portion,” and the loan contracts they signed had been void. Therefore, these fifty-six people could at least take the net victory from the “number guessing contest” off the ship.

Of course, whether that little bit of money could solve their problems outside was another story …

Now, let’s talk about the second game.

The matching method of this game was by drawing lots.

It was called a “draw”, but in fact, the players didn’t need to “draw” anything. They just had to take turns to spin a cylinder with a number ball. The 64 number balls in the cylinder were assigned to seats 1 to 64, and the seats determined the pairs of the duels.

Feng bujue could understand this arrangement. If it were him, he would have done the same.

Although it was the most efficient to use the computer to randomly match the players, the host obviously didn’t want to see all the results obtained in a “flash” and the players themselves not participating in the decision.

What the host wanted to see was … The reactions and performances of each guest when the results were announced one by one. Therefore, he naturally would not let the process end in just a few seconds.

As a result, the drawing of lots took up nearly half an hour.

In this half an hour, the players watched the rules of the game while lining up to go up and draw numbers.

In the blink of an eye, it was one in the morning, and the game … Officially began.

…………

Feng bujue’s opponent was a woman wearing a Black Butterfly mask.

She should be a very beautiful woman.

“Should be” was because she was wearing a mask, so this was not absolute.

Even though … What Feng bujue could see was the luxurious low-cut dress and the alluring curves that it outlined. What she smelled were all kinds of famous cosmetics used in the right amount and usage. What she heard in her ears … Was a voice that made one’s imagination run wild, a coquettish voice that did not lose its charm.

But … He still wasn’t sure if she was a beauty.

If you were to ask why, brother Jue would answer,”in this day and age, you can’t even believe the cover of an action movie, and you can still …”

Alright, let’s get back to the story …

“Ha … Mr. Crow, I didn’t expect to meet you right at the start of the second round.” The butterfly-masked man smiled and said something rather meaningless, as if he was trying to test brother Jue’s reaction.

She leaned over the cart and tried her best to show off her “career line.” She didn’t hide her flirtatiousness.

However, the response she received was …

“Nonsense, the matching is decided by drawing lots.” Feng bujue was completely unmoved. He used his usual calm and slightly mocking tone to reply,”if you could predict the outcome of that kind of thing, then you wouldn’t need this boat. You could have just gone to buy the lottery.”

After brother Jue made fun of her, the butterfly-masked man was also slightly surprised, but she did not show it. She quickly adjusted her emotions and said,””Ha … I’m just a little afraid of fighting you, so I said that~”

She was obviously a very sociable woman. No matter what kind of person she was facing, no matter their gender, age, or personality … She could handle them. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she was confident that she could make the other party like her in a short time, from the overbearing President to the vulgar otaku.

Unfortunately, Feng bujue … Did not seem to be within her ‘top to bottom’ range. Not to mention from top to bottom, just from left to right, from inside to outside, from shallow to deep, from overall to part, from phenomenon to essence … Brother Jue was a type that she had never encountered before.

“If you’re scared, just admit defeat. Talking nonsense won’t solve the problem.” Feng bujue answered lazily. At the same time, he walked toward a round table several meters away.

In less than ten seconds, he dragged two chairs with backrests over.

“Hmph … His words are particularly unpleasant to hear, but he’s still a gentleman.” When the butterfly-masked man saw brother Jue bring ‘two’ chairs over, he thought to himself,’ brother Jue, you’re too kind. ‘

She had thought that one of them was prepared for her.

She was too naive.

“Phew … It doesn’t look heavy, it’s quite heavy.” Two seconds later, Feng bujue placed the two chairs on his side. One was for him to sit on, and the other was for him to rest his feet …

He sat down and looked at the judge with his dead fish eyes,””Then … Mr. Judge, if you don’t mind, while you’re looking at your chest through your sunglasses, can you please help us shuffle the cards?”
