"No way! Fighting games aren't something you can master overnight!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza stared at Dong Yunshan. "I want this to be a thing of the past, or at least a guaranteed win! If we could get your pro player friend involved, there wouldn't be a problem..."

Before Dong Yunshan could speak, Yukino Yukinoshita said first, "No."

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza shrank back, staring at Dong Yunshan: "Really not going to work?"

"This is all your own doing..." Yui Yuigahama had already grasped the Service Club's motto, "And then, did you even have the thought of putting in the effort yourself? The Service Club's motto is to teach people how to fish, not to give them fish."

"That's right." Yukino Yukinoshita cast an approving glance at Yui Yuigahama: "Don't draw your sword if you're not prepared to get cut."

Dong Yunshan shrugged. "That's it."

"Ah... yes, I'm sorry..." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza said dejectedly, "That's true... how could the Service Club possibly beat the Game Club..."

Volume 6: Chapter 264 Two Millionaires

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, her eyes suddenly turning fierce.

"Alright," Dong Yunshan spoke first, "Since you've put it that way, then let me show you the strength of the Service Club."

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza let out a smug chuckle, "Actually, I don't care about winning or losing..."

Dong Yunshan: "Then I won't go."

"But... but since you've said that!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza panicked. "Then let me be your guide!"

With his Yoshiteru Zaimokuza held high, Yoshiaki led the way, while the rest of the Service Club quietly distanced themselves from him.

Dong Yunshan felt a slight tug on his sleeve. Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed his sleeve, looked up at his face, and whispered, "Are you really going to help him win?"

"He said that..." Dong Yunshan tilted her head slightly, "And even if I didn't agree, you would still want to prove the strength of the Service Club, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly, her face expressionless. "Do you think I'd care about such a low-level provocation?"

Dong Yunshan stared at Yukino Yukinoshita's stubborn little expression. "Hmm... you don't know how?"

"Of course not." Yukino Yukinoshita touched Dong Yunshan's waist, "Especially given that this kind of duel violates the Service Club's creed."

"In that case," Dong Yunshan bent down slightly and leaned close to Yukino Yukinoshita's ear, "Let's work out a plan...hmm?"

Catching a glimpse of a bright, sparkling gaze, Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita simultaneously turned to look behind them.

Komachi Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama were engrossed in watching.

Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her hand from Dong Yunshan's waist. "What's wrong?"

Yui Yuigahama blinked. "It's nothing."

I'm just looking at your posts.

Komachi Hikigaya tilted her head. "What happened?"

It looked like they were about to kiss.

Saki Kawasaki gradually understands why Komachi Hikigaya always comes to the Service Club.

The Service Club has great benefits, and they also have a lot of drama.

As they were talking, Yoshiteru Zaimokuza was already standing at the entrance of the game club on the second floor.

Since it was a newly established club, there was only a printed piece of paper with "[Game Club]" written on it in marker on the door.

The round window on the door was covered from the inside with a cloth.

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza raised his hand and knocked on the door. A lazy reply came from inside, "Someone's here~"

Opening the door to the game club's activity room, towering boxes, books, and all sorts of packages come into view, forming a towering maze like walls and screens.

It looked like an untidy warehouse.

"Isn't this the game club?" Yui Yuigahama, her mouth agape in surprise. She examined a box nearby, its design featuring roses and thorns in a dark, ambiguous style, interspersed with English characters. "It doesn't really feel like a game club..."

"Really? I think it's easy to make that connection." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at it. "The game you're thinking of is probably one of those things that makes beeping and popping sounds, right?"

"You mean the Famicom, right?" Yui Yuigahama laughed. "As expected, Little Yukino doesn't play games much."

Yukino Yukinoshita somewhat surprised. "Do you play games often?"

"Hmm~~ Dad loves playing these games, and I always watch him play. I occasionally play Mario Kart and PokePu, and on handheld consoles, it's Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon," Yui Yuigahama great familiarity. "Seeing everyone around me playing them, so..."

She didn't continue, Komachi Hikigaya understood her earlier feeling. "No wonder you felt these weren't games, because you play more Nintendo games, these are Sony games, the style is different."

"Looks like we can't underestimate this game company..." Dong Yunshan carefully examined the label. "They actually managed to get their hands on something like this."

Saki Kawasaki asked curiously, "What's wrong with this?"

"The UK Film Classification Board banned the sale of Rule of Rose due to its content, citing its potential harm to minors," Dong Yunshan explained. "Therefore, physical copies from Europe and America are extremely rare, and this one is worth at least several hundred dollars on the secondary market."

"This... this is so expensive?" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza's eyes lit up.

Saki Kawasaki understood what Dong Yunshan meant. "The other person is a veteran player... How did you know?"

Dong Yunshan doesn't seem like the type to play games.

Before Dongyu Yunshan could answer, Saki Kawasaki had her own answer, "You have a friend?"

Dong Yunshan nodded. "I helped look for this thing before; it took me a lot of effort."

"Hmph... I didn't expect to find someone like me." A boy's voice came from deep inside the activity room, "Welcome to the game club!"

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, took the lead and entered the cardboard box maze, but stopped when he realized that Dong Yunshan hadn't followed.

Dong Yunshan walked over and, behind the partition wall made of books and boxes, saw two people by the window.

"Hmm? You guys are first-years~" Judging from the color of their indoor shoes, Yoshiteru Zaimokuza immediately became arrogant, "Hahahaha! Long time no see. You were all bragging yesterday, weren't you? As your senior, let me teach you a lesson!"

The boy with round glasses scoffed, "Hey, is this the person you were talking about? Wow, that's pretty bad."

"Right?" The boy with square glasses laughed too. "I can't believe there are people like that."

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza's expression froze, and his imposing manner vanished instantly.

"Hello, my name is Dong Yunshan." Dong Yunshan pulled up a chair and sat down. "I heard that one of you had some unpleasantness with him?"

"Oh, it's me." The person with the square glasses recognized Dong Yunshan's voice as belonging to the same group from earlier and introduced himself formally, "I'm Hatano, a first-year high school student, and this is..."

The man with round glasses spoke up, "I'm Sagami, a first-year high school student."

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan's gaze shifted slightly. "Do you know Minami Sagami?"

"... Please don't mention her." Sagami's face showed obvious resistance. "Even though she's my sister."

"Let's get down to business. Looking at what's here, you can tell he has absolutely no chance of winning." Dong Yunshan tapped the table lightly. "But for gamers of your caliber, there's not much fun in stomping noobs and bluffing, is there?"

"The sooner you deal with someone you dislike, the better," Hatano adjusted his glasses. "I don't want to waste my time on him."

"You just want to switch to a game where you have a higher chance of winning." Sagami's glasses flashed with a cold light. "But we're not the ones issuing the challenge."

"If that's how you put it," Dong Yunshan said, taking out her phone, "Then I have no qualms about it..."

Yukino Yukinoshita's voice rang out. "What are you talking about?"

Volume 6: Chapter 265 Additional Rules

"I want to play a different game..." Dong Yunshan looked at the girls who were walking through the maze, "But they don't seem willing."

"She's... that senior from the second year?" Hatano and Sagami whispered to each other.

"Hmm, it seems... it really is..." Sagami visibly tensed up. "Well... it's a rare opportunity..."

"But then again," Hatano coughed twice, "We're not really interested in bullying weaker opponents; we crave battles between the strong."

It appeared... Dong Yunshan saw through it at a glance.

It's inevitable for teenagers to do this: try their best to show off in front of outstanding members of the opposite sex.

"So let's switch to a game that everyone knows how to play." Sagami took out a deck of cards. "Of course, it needs to be a little different."

"Let's play a two-player version of The Tycoon." Hatano shuffled the cards quickly. "I think everyone knows how to do this."

Everyone else nodded, except for Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita, who looked completely bewildered.

Komachi Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama briefly explained the rules.

It's basically similar to many card games: big cards beat big cards, small cards beat small cards, and the first to play all their cards is the richest, while the last one to play all their cards is the poorest.

In the next round, the tycoon takes the poor man's two best cards and exchanges them for cards he doesn't want.

Another interesting mechanism is that when you play four cards of different suits but the same number at once, you can trigger a "revolution" that reverses the strength of the card numbers.

The rest are some other local rules, used to add fun.

The difference between them and ordinary super-rich people is...

Hatano drew back the curtains. "We need to play in pairs."

Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "One deck of cards, played by two people... no room for negotiation, right?"

"That's right." Sagami set up the table and laid out a mat. "Each round, different people will take turns playing cards, and the two players cannot discuss them."

In this way, you not only have to guess the opponent's intentions, but also what your teammates are thinking.

This requires a high level of teamwork between the two members.

Sagami adjusted his glasses. "After all, it was our idea for the game..."

Hatano chimed in, "It's that rule change we proposed again..."

"In order to ensure fairness..."

"You can send two groups of people..."

The two stood side by side by the window, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow, and declared in unison, "Let's have a showdown!"

Such perfect teamwork... no wonder they're so confident they can take on two teams at once.

Dong Yunshan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, Yukino Yukinoshita had just finished confirming the details of the rules with Komachi Hikigaya.

Komachi Hikigaya shrugged. "I'm not in the Service Club, so I won't participate."

Saki Kawasaki shook her head, her ponytail swaying lightly. "I want to learn how the Service Club handles requests." In other words, she wanted to observe from the sidelines.

"Then I'll do it!" Yui Yuigahama clenched her little fists to encourage herself, "Although I'm not very good at it."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "Then you'll be in my group."

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama. "Shouldn't you be paired with Yunshan?"

These two are clearly more in sync.

"This grouping is better." Dong Yunshan brought over a chair. "Please sit down."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan: "It's best not to."

Dong Yunshan gave a slight smirk. "Let's see how they perform."

What kind of code is this...? Yui Yuigahama baffled.

But since Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita have started exchanging coded messages, does that mean they already have a plan?

The duel officially began... and the Service Club emerged victorious.

"Hahahaha!!!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza laughed arrogantly, "You guys are nothing special! How about that? Now you know how powerful I am?"

"Oh no, Hatano, we lost! That's terrible!"

"Yes, Sagami, we were too careless~"

The two of them spoke these words without showing any disappointment, as if they had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"This is really a headache~" "This is a real headache~" they exclaimed in unison, "After all... the loser isn't allowed to go to the amusement park for a month!"

"Wait a minute!" Yoshiteru Zaimokuza had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly changed his expression. "I didn't hear about such a rule! This is completely unfair!"

The game club has a huge selection of games; even if Hatano and Sagami don't go to the amusement park, there are enough games here to keep them entertained for a year.

"There's no point in playing a game without stakes," Hatano sneered. "Aren't you afraid to bear the consequences of losing?"

"Alright then." Sagami rolled his eyes. "The loser must respectfully greet the other person when they see them at the amusement park."

Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, blushed and said, "Wishful thinking! Who wants to greet you!"

"It seems you've already accepted your defeat. Since you're so prepared, we don't mind taking another step back." Hatano gathered up the playing cards. "The loser has to avoid the other person when they see them at the amusement park. One game lasts a month, so it cancels each other out."

"This..." Yoshiaki Zaimoto looked at the Dong Yunshan Yoshiteru Zaimokuza.

Dong Yunshan stared intently at Hatano, who was gathering the playing cards.

"The 'low-ball technique' is a socio-psychological technique developed from salesmanship; it's a compliance-inducing strategy. Specifically, it involves making a small request first, and once the other person accepts it, a larger request is then made. This is more readily accepted than directly making a larger request." Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly. "The 'door effect,' on the other hand, refers to the phenomenon where people become more accepting of smaller requests after rejecting a large one."
