Chapter 350 Must win
Inside the Temple of the Seven Sins, the participants watched the gambling game and whispered to each other:
"It's a competition, right? The one with the bigger number on the card wins..."

"Didn't that guy just say that? If we're comparing the size of the cards, how can we open the cards first and then place the bet?"

"Is it a prime number? The one closest to 9 will win? Or is it stocks? Or factorization..."

"We'll know the result soon..."

……

Inside the glass cabin, Fushimi Shika tapped the table with his fingers, indicating that he did not want to increase the bet.

In the first sentence, both parties bet an equal amount of 8 air chips. When he signaled to stop raising the bet, it meant that the game was about to be decided.

The referee put on his headphones, remained silent for a moment, and then announced loudly: "Then, the winner of the first round is..."

He stretched out his tone, and when everyone's appetite was whetted, he shouted in shock: "——"15"!"

The arbitrator raised his arm to signal the two participants in the glass cabin to see the result: "That's right! Kitsune wins!!"

The next second, Kitsune stretched out her hands and leaned forward, as if to hug her opponent.

From Fushimi Shika's perspective, her limbs were like a greedy mouth, and her arms suddenly wrapped around all the air chips on the table and pulled them to her side.

Bubbles surge and waves sway.

Fushimi's breathing was a little rapid, but soon calmed down. His eyes fell on Kitsune's waist. The dial of the respirator could show the remaining oxygen in the metal tank... Kitsune's oxygen was almost running out, but she still didn't change the air chips.

……

At the same time, Fujiwara Takashi also became nervous: "Why did 15 win? The gap is too big now... I really shouldn't have called!"

He counted and found that after this round of competition, Kitsune had 32 air chips remaining, while Fushimi Shika had only 15 chips left. The former had more than twice as many chips as the latter!
Moriki Yalan had a gloomy face. She felt that Fushimi Kakashi was too obsessed with gambling and did not keep calm at the critical moment.

"It's unavoidable that we lost the first battle by relying on luck," Yuan Yuzi seemed to be explaining to Fujiwara Hideo, or comforting herself. She bit her thumb and said very quickly: "Betting on luck with eight chips is actually a good strategy."

"Why?" Senmu Yalan was a little confused.

"If I win, I get eight chips. If I lose, my opponent won't be in the safe zone..."

Yuan Yuzi calculated: "Assuming that Kitsune only places the ante bet and then gives up in the next four rounds of competition, forcing the game to the end, the ante she needs to pay is 2+3+4+5, a total of 14 chips... In this way, she will lose 32 of the 14 chips in her hand, leaving only 18 in the end."

"And Fushimi-kun's chips will increase from 15 to 29. He will eventually surpass Kitsune-hime, so Kitsune-hime is not sure to win yet."

"On the other hand, if Fushimi-kun continues to follow suit and loses 14 chips in this round, the game will end immediately - the winner's chips will increase to 38 chips, while the loser will only have 9 chips. After that, the winner can use the strategy of "betting every round and then giving up". After five rounds, the winner still has 24 chips, while the loser only has 23 chips."

"One chip of air is equivalent to a five-minute difference."

"If you suffocate underwater for five minutes, you will definitely die!"

"So Fushimi-kun was not reckless, but stopped before crossing the line, and did not put everything on "gambling on luck" - if he had continued to raise the bet just now, even if he had added one more bet, he would have become a gambler relying on "luck" and would have been completely defeated!"

As she quickly explained, the second round had already begun in the glass cabin.

The arbitrator didn't even have time to review the game, and Fujiwara Hō had no time to mock. He just clapped lightly, agreeing with Gen Tamako's analysis, and then continued to observe the situation of the fight between the two carefully.

Fushimi Shika bit the respirator and thought calmly. The largest number he had ever seen was 45, and the smallest number was 15 that Kitsune had just hit. He had hit 25, but still couldn't beat 15. It seemed that he had to figure out the rules of the fight next.

After placing the ante, the chip ratio between the two sides is now 30:13.

……

Fujiwara Yu didn't understand what Yuan Yuzi was saying at all. He could only bite the bullet and analyze: "Could it be that the smaller the number, the bigger it is?"

"Isn't it still a comparison of size?" Senmu Yalan said unhappily.

"Ahhh, I don't understand this at all," Fujiwara Yu maliciously speculated, "Maybe there are no specific rules at all, and who wins and who loses is determined by the arbitrator's words. We must have been deceived!"

Hearing this, Ye Xingqi immediately retorted: "Don't use your ignorant and incompetent thoughts to speculate on the designer's masterpiece. Whether it is a trial or a gamble, we are strict with ourselves and enjoy the fun of gambling. We will never use such despicable means."

"Then why don't you tell us? What are the specific rules? They can't hear it anyway, so it's okay for you to tell us, right?"

Before Fujiwara Yu finished speaking, he noticed that Ye Xingqi's eyes were unnatural. They were exactly the same as the guilty look he had when he made a mistake and avoided his father. He was too familiar with it and could tell what the other party was thinking at a glance: "Could it be...you don't know what the rules of the competition are?"

"Even I don't know, which just proves that the rules of the gambling game are absolutely fair!" Ye Xingqi said stubbornly: "Besides, I already have a clue!"

"It's just a blind guess. Everyone can do that." Fujiwara Yoshitaka sneered.

The arbitrator explained at the right time that it was normal that the rules of the competition were not clear in the first two rounds, and perhaps it would not be until the third or fourth round that both sides could figure out the complete rules of the competition.

While the onlookers were discussing, inside the glass cabin, Fushimi Shika and Kitsune had already finished playing their cards.

Kitsune played "8";
Fushimi Kaka came up with "39".

It's a small number versus a large number again.

Fushimi Shika stared at the table. The opponent played another small card, this time smaller than "15" - before he could come to his senses, Kitsune took out the air chips in the groove and replaced them with a new box of air chips.

……

“Changing the air now?!”

"Is there such a big difference in the amount of chips used in a can of air?"

"Did something happen to the air chips? The amount of air injected into the two people's chips is different?" Fujiwara Takashi and others started shouting again. The arbitrator quickly explained that thinking would quickly consume oxygen. There are indeed physiological differences between men and women, so it is normal for the two sides to use different amounts of oxygen.

……

Fushimi Shika then realized that Kitsune had not thought deeply at all, and her brain had been in "standby" mode all the time - there was no special strategy in playing the small cards, it was just because the small cards won in the last round!

This guy is a lunatic, he's been gambling with his luck!
Now, there are only three choices before Fushimi Shika:

- Raise, check, or fold.

Fushimi Shika raised his head. Kitsune was staring at him with eyes like a predator.

He knew that if he passed, Fox would definitely raise the bet; even if he bet all his chips, Fox would still call - if he called with 15 chips, Fox would still have 16 chips in her hand, and she could "gamble" without any risk.

If he doesn't rely on his luck and chooses to fold, he will lose another chip in vain.

What's worse is that Fox Girl has too many chips in her hand. Once he loses another 4 chips, Fox Girl will enter the safe zone of "must win" and can rely on the huge disparity in chips to crush and win.

At the moment, he can still give up one round of bets, but there is only one round of trial and error left.

Should I go all in in the second game or all in in the third game?

wrong……

You must first understand the competition rules, otherwise you will fall into the situation of "gambling luck" again!
but……

What are the rules of the competition?
Was it Indian poker, or some other poker rule he had never played before?

There are ten seconds left for betting. Once the time limit is exceeded, the bet will be deemed lost immediately.

In other words, he still had ten seconds to make a decision.

Fushimi Shika stared wide-eyed underwater. His oxygen consumption soared unconsciously. His brain was like an overclocked computer, constantly thinking about various possibilities...

——Beep!

There was a slight tapping sound on the outer wall of the glass cabin.

Both of them were stunned. Fushimi Shika turned around and saw that Gen Tamaki was standing outside the glass cabin. She slapped the glass with her right palm, her eyes were blank and two streams of blood slowly flowed from her nostrils.

possible……

She is the first person to unravel the rules!

The next second, the arbitrator pulled her away, signaling that onlookers were not allowed to get close, and brought people to be on guard to prevent outsiders from interfering with the gambling again.

However, this is enough.

The moment Fushimi Shika saw her, he had already figured out the key to the competition.

I see……

I see……

As expected, you are better at this kind of intellectual game...

Fushimi Shika's eyes calmed down and he directly added two chips!

Such a confident look interrupted Fox Princess's rhythm. Her long hair slowly floated up, like fine tentacles, swaying with a burst of dense bubbles.

Anyone could see that her breathing was becoming more intense.

This means that Kitsune-hime has also started thinking at high speed.

'Has he solved the rules yet?'

'Did the girl give him a hint?'

"No, it shouldn't be that fast. I don't even have a clue..."

'He must still have doubts, and is ready to use this sentence to prove it...'

"In other words, he is betting on whether his 'inference' is correct..."

“In that case…”

……

As the oxygen consumption continued to increase, the arbitrator began to count down, and within the thirty-second time limit, Fox Princess kept weighing the pros and cons until the last second, when she pushed out two air chips, chose to follow the bet, and cautiously raised one chip.

Fox Princess was not as aggressive as she was in the last round, but became calm as water in an instant.

On the other hand, Fushimi Shika, after calling with one chip, raised the bet again with five chips!
The onlookers were trembling with fear. Moriki Yalan squatted down nervously. Fujiwara Hyou's scalp tingled and he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Is he crazy? Does he want to die?... That's the oxygen we breathe. If we lose it all..."

"It will win."

Yuan Yuzi wiped the blood from her nose with her thumb and said softly, "I will definitely win this round."
