The Card Game

"There are 104 cards in the deck, with 16 set aside face down. Each of us gets 22 cards, and we play the cards in our hands as runs, pairs, singles, and so on. Fives and tens are worth points, and the first person to play all their cards gets 20 points. Every 100 points counts as one tally. The first to reach ten tallies wins, the next breaks even, the one after that takes a half loss, and the last takes a full loss."

"Each person plays for themselves!"

"The stake is one exotic beast per round!"

Montes Ganghao had set the rules of the card game, the conditions for winning and losing, and the size of the stake.

To Montes Ganghao, the stake was not large.

And the game would go on for a long time, making it difficult for a truly large gap to open up between the winner and the loser.

In other words, he would not win much, and the same was true if he lost.

There were also measures against card counting, such as setting cards aside face down, to make the game as fair as possible.

Once they had reached an agreement, he sat inside the alloy cage and picked up his cards.

Zhang Xuezhou was actually playing cards to pass the time!

Several meters away, Zuo Teng, whose body had returned to normal, was green with envy and gnashing his teeth with jealousy.

He had botched this job, suffered for it, and lost money to boot.

If he could, Zuo Teng wanted to take someone's place and win back everything he had put in.

He really was a man of many talents, and as someone who ran underground casinos, Zuo Teng was indeed good at these little games of winners and losers.
