The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 472 - 355: The Card Game, Finally Developed the Magic Stone

Chapter 472: Chapter 355: The Card Game, Finally Developed the Magic Stone

Just as Chun was speaking, the door of the cell opened, and a few people came in from outside.

Chun’s heart skipped a beat. Holy shit, are they going to cuff and shackle me all over again?

But instead, they set up a grill, barbecue skewers, and beer, and sat around, saying, "Hey kid, time for lunch!"

Chun was stunned, "Bringing me food?"

Everyone laughed, "Even prisoners have to eat, right?"

How come I didn’t hear you say that before? Was it perhaps Remia that got special treatment?

Chun wisely climbed down from the wheelchair, sat with everyone, and then saw the skewers were clearly made of geckos and spiders!

Holy shit!

Everyone laughed heartily, "Kid, these are underground delicacies!"

Alright, it’s just a game. Even if it wasn’t, that’s actually some local specialties over in Xishuangbanna.

Chun gulped down a few geckos — System prompt: You have tasted the master-level cooking "Grilled Gecko," your night vision ability has improved, your hunger has reduced, and your physical strength has been restored.

Huh? Does taurine boost night vision?

What shocked Chun even more was: "You’re all master-level cooks?"

Everyone chuckled, "Is master-level such a big deal?"

Uh... it’s actually pretty normal.

Someone asked, "Kid, heard you had met the first Pirate King?"

It’s really because of that?

Chun asked in shock, "Who’d you hear that from?"

He didn’t believe Remia would blab about something so confidential to these messy rag-tag folks.

Everyone snorted, "Don’t think we’re dumb just because we’re squatting in a mine; our information isn’t oblivious or blind."

Special talents, huh? Can’t underestimate! Even the Southern Canyon Village hides Dragons and crouching Tigers; these guys guarding the Mithril mine must be just as secretive and skilled!

Chun then asked, "So, do you know many pirates?"

Everyone laughed, "Except for that mysterious Bilenna you know, anyone with a ship, even ones like the Sea Pearl, we know them all!"

Holy shit, how is it possible for Aziza to know you guys... Speaking of which, even that guy Villapico could use his Treasure Hunting Pet to replicate Aziza’s looks...

Chun then asked, "Do you know Villapico? A Treasure Hunting Captain."

Everyone froze for a moment, "Don’t know!"

Holy shit? Chun recalled Villapico gave him a captain’s hat and took it out: "The hat he gave me, captain of the Sea Otter, take a look."

When everyone saw it, their expressions towards Chun got strange!

Chun asked in shock, "What’s up?"

Everyone laughed, "Really don’t know him!"

No way? Either this Villapico is so unknown he’s not worth mentioning, or he’s a major player under the Pirate King that no one dares to talk about? If it’s the latter, Chun finds it hard to believe! Is he really that powerful? He only taught me an expert-level sailing technique...

Then someone took out a deck of cards, "Kid, after eating, play a few hands with the gents here!"

Holy shit, changed the topic?

Chun got anxious, "I don’t know how to play cards!"

The card game in the game differs from how it’s played in real life, and it requires special effort to learn.

Everyone laughed, "You don’t need to know, just be responsible for losing money!"

Chun got even more anxious, "I don’t have money!"

Everyone smirked, "Sure you don’t have any money?"

Chun started sweating, "Not much... "

Everyone laughed, "Not having much is what gives you the motivation to win, plus you’ve been reading the Astrology Book, haven’t you? Even if you don’t know, you can still win!"

Chun was bewildered, "What’s the connection between the Astrology Book and card playing?"

"Kidding? Don’t witches use playing cards for fortune-telling?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Chun got nervous, "But the book doesn’t really say how to use Astrology Book for playing cards."

Everyone chuckled coldly, "Have you ever seen anyone broadcasting real skills through books?"

"Real skills are secrets passed by word of mouth; if you can beat us, wouldn’t your astrology skills improve?"

Huh?

While speaking, someone spread out a whole deck of cards, leaving just one card covered: "Predict what this bottom card is?"

Chun was overwhelmed, are they teasing a kid? But dared not to offend these jail heads, so just scanned the cards laid out, and obviously noticed one flashy one missing: "Joker!"

Everyone happily revealed the bottom card, "Correct! No wonder you’re an astrologer!"

Chun got anxious, "What’s this got to do with astrology? Out of 53, missing one, if it’s not it, it is it!"

Everyone laughed, "Oh? Then how about this!"

Then spread the deck, leaving two cards covered: "Predict again?"

Chun was helpless, "Joker, Little Joker!"

Everyone laughed, "No wonder you’re an astrologer, guessed it right again!"

Chun was anxious, "Why don’t you ask which one’s the Joker and which’s the Little Joker?"

Everyone laughed, "So this is the domain of astrology, even ordinary people have a 50% chance, let alone astrology!"

"Besides, if everyone knows that accurately, then why play cards? Just play open cards directly."

"Kidding, open cards are the hardest to play! If it’s open cards, astrology is useless."

"So, astrology plays with this ambiguity, it plays with the method of elimination! Look at your cards, see what others play, and you’ll know what cards others have left, then just guess, even ordinary people can do it, astrology just needs to guess a little bit more accurately, and even if you guess wrong once, based on elimination, you’ll guess twice as accurately later..."

"Exactly, hurry up! Show some guts, unlike someone who dares to touch the City Beauty’s butt!"

Holy shit! I touch butts relying on skill, not guts.

Just then, Aileen spoke up, "Dear, I’m pretty good at cards, let me prepare a bit, you handle a few rounds first."

Huh? Since Aileen said this, then let’s do it. If playing cards can really improve astrology, losing some money is worth it, just afraid that remaining less than ten thousand won’t be enough to lose.
