Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Games
Three cards are laid out, namely 10, 6, and 4.
'Good cards,' Ansair's eyes lit up.
He picked up the cards and put them together with the cards in his hand.
Now the card in his hand is 2, 2, A, A, A, K, K, J, 1, 0, 9, 8, 7, 7, 6, 4, 3, 3.
(TL/N: These are not codes, but the abbreviation and numbers of the cards as he didn't put any pattern, just numbers and letters.)
There are two kings in hand, two twos, three aces, and a straight in one hand. If it is not a sure win then what is?!
"Three."
Ansair threw out the two smallest cards in his hand and prepared to knock out the small cards first.
Elena and Jin just got started with this game, looking at the scattered cards in their hands, they don't know whether it is good or bad, so they can only play with their intuition.
Jin next to Ansair's right hand followed Ansair and also played the scattered small cards in his hand.
"Nine."
"Hook(1)." Elena followed.
With three aces and two twos in hand, as long as the two of them don't have a pair of twos, no one can afford to make a pair of kings.
Ansair thought so and played two cards.
"Yes, K."
"Pass."
"Pass."
Sure enough, the two little dragons shook their heads one after another.
Grasping this as initiative, Ansair took advantage of his nearing victory and continued to play the small cards in his hand.
"4."
"6."
"9."
The two little dragons followed.
"2!"
Ansair did not hesitate, and directly played "2".
Now the rhythm is completely in his hands.
"Straight."
Ansair hit 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q.
"Pass."
"Pass."
The two little dragons were dejected, they still had a lot of cards in their hands, but Ansair only had seven cards left in his hand.
Why did he have more cards but play faster than them?
The two little dragons were puzzled, they hadn't grasped the advantage of going first in Fight of Landlords yet.
With the winning ticket in hand, Ansair began to torment the two little dragons.
"2."
Starting with "2", the two little dragons couldn't afford it, so they could only watch Ansair continue to play his cards in misery.
Although they are not familiar with this game, the two dragons are not fools.
Ansair started with "2", so he must be confident.
Before the round was over, the two little dragons began to feel sorry for their little victory.
"Two pairs."
"King!"
Seeing that the faces of the two little dragons were not looking good, Ansair stopped procrastinating and quickly ended the game.
The bottom gold of the bomb is doubled(2), which means that in this round, both dragons have to give Ansair two copper coins.
Elena ruthlessly threw the cards in her hand into the deck.
"Stop playing! Smelly brother, you must be trying to cheat my treasure in this way!"
Losing so quickly and so thoroughly, Jin couldn't react, and his interest in this game was greatly reduced. Although he didn't agree with Elena, he didn't want to play because of the position he was in.
This can't work!
Ansair realized that it was wrong for him to be in the limelight. His purpose was to make Jin indulge in games and waste his studies, not to make money.
He quickly persuaded: "Don't, don't, let's continue to play. This is because you are not familiar with the rules, it's just practice, I won't charge you copper coins."
Hearing that Ansair did not accept their copper coins, Elena sat down patiently and got ready for the next game.
After all, she still wants to earn more treasure.
The cards were quickly shuffled, and the second game began.
Ansair looked at the card in his hand were 2, A, A, K, Q, J, J, 10, 10, 8, 7, 7, 5, 5, 3, 3.
Regardless of the fact that there is a king, these cards are scattered and not easy to play at all.
But Ansair was overjoyed because he had to lose this round.
As the winner of the previous game, he was the first to call the landlord.
"Call the landlord(3)."
Seeing that the landlord won so easily, the two dragons shouted not to be outdone.
"Snatch the landlord(4)."
"Snatch the landlord."
Ansair wanted to let both of the little dragons win the money as a landlord, but he wouldn't let them do what they wanted.
"Snatch the landlord!"
He grabbed the landlord(5) and turned over cards, 2, K, and 4.
Very good, this one is sure to be on the losing side and the loss should not be too obvious, Ansair still started with a small card.
"3."
Jin knows the lesson from the previous fiasco that the landlord should not be allowed to take full control of all the small cards.
"Yes!"
He hit two aces straight away.
"Pass."
Elena didn't play her cards.
"2."
Ansair continued to play his cards.
"5."
Without hesitation, Jin played the biggest card in his hand.
"2."
Both Ansair nor Elena couldn't present their cards so he took the opportunity to play his cards. His hand was not big, but it just so happened that Ansair couldn't catch it at all.
"Pass."
"Pass."
Elena seems to be just watching a show, not a single card was played.
"Straight."
Jin hit 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. He now has two cards left.
Ansair's eyes lit up, he was about to win this hand, and after taking the card, he was about to fight back.
"10, J, Q, K, A."
He now only needs a single card in his hand, except for a pair of sevens in his hand, basically, nothing in his cards is for the winning side.
Both Elena and Jin couldn't bear it, as Ansair continued to play his cards.
"4."
"6."
Jin received it, and he now only has one card left.
Ansair gave him a surprised look, wondering whether he was good at this or just dumb luck. If he still had a pair in his hand, Jin would not be able to play.
"Pass."
Elena felt that she was about to win the game, isn't it good to win for the treasure?
Knowing that he was bound to lose, Ansair still had to try his best to show that he didn't lose on purpose, and he shot 10 as if he was dying.
"10."
If Jin can afford it, no matter how he plays his cards, Ansair will lose.
Ansair obviously is thinking too much, the two little dragons had just only started playing the game, so they didn't think so much at all, even if he directly played 8, The two little dragons wouldn't notice anything was wrong.
Jin glanced at the "9" in his hand, and frowned slightly, just not enough.
"Pass."
Ansair was taken aback, not even 10?
He couldn't help feeling that Jin was so courageous that he even took a small card as the base.
With the twists and turns, the outcome of this battle rests entirely on Elena, who has been lying dead beside her.
"Sister."
Her teammate is basically useless, there is no other way, Elena can only make a move by herself.
"King."
Ansair followed.
"Pass."
Jin had been reduced to an outsider.
Ansair played the only cards in his hand higher than 8.
"Hook."
"K."
Elena followed without thinking.
"A."
Ansair continued to play his cards, but Elena couldn't afford them.
At this moment, he is already in a losing position. He only has K, 8, and a pair of sevens in his hand, but Elena still has many pairs in her hand.
He's just gonna play around.
"K."
"Pass."
The biggest card in Elena's hand is the K, so she naturally couldn't afford to place it.
"7."
Ansair was dying, and there was only a small 8 left in his hand.
"8."
Ansair put down the cards in his hand, and now he was waiting for Elena to play her cards.
" 6."
"9."
"Three of a kind."
…
Elena played the cards in her hand vigorously, endured a round, and became the final winner.
"7."
She played the last card, proclaiming Ansair's defeat.
(TL/N: Hardest chapter to translate so far since a lot of card terms and Chinese card game terms are added making it a lot harder to translate as well as edit in order to appeal to the readers, had to google every single term of this chapter just so I can get what the hell is happening, the game is basically like Checks if you don't what it is, it is basically a game where players are trying to claim target cards or target card piles by using the activated cards in their hands. Each card has a point value used to determine the value of the fan.)
