Chapter 652: Falling Into a Trap

Until now, Qi Xia still feels very strange.

Why does the ground monkey always emphasize his tone when announcing the start of a round?

Is this his habit, or is he doing it on purpose?

As soon as the ground monkey finished speaking, Qi Xia's sense of disharmony lingered in his heart again.

This time he was absolutely sure that there was definitely something strange about the wooden box.

Its color changed again.

If we look at the situation of each change, its color change is very slight, and it is difficult for ordinary people to observe it, but Qi Xia clearly remembers how it looked when it first appeared.

The originally brown-black wooden box is not brown-black at all now, but is closer to yellow-brown.

"It's really getting lighter..."

Although Qi Xia discovered the problem with this box, he couldn't infer the meaning of its existence for a while.

Could it be that this box will become lighter and lighter as time goes by, and eventually become a pure white box?

"Put it in the middle of the table... a box that is getting lighter..."

Qi Xia reached out and touched his chin, trying to explain this problem from all angles, but he couldn't get any clues.

Since there was no way to find the relationship between the box that was getting lighter and the game, Qi Xia could only switch to a tricky angle.

This wooden box...what is the principle of getting lighter?

Wood is not a material that can change color. Even if it is heated or cooled, it will not change so much in a short time.

Because Qi Xia accidentally took the box in his hand before, he knew that the box was very light and the middle should be hollowed out.

In this case, let's make a bold guess. If you want a brown-black box to turn yellow-brown, the most intuitive and effective way is not to heat or cool it, but to install a light tube in the hollowed-out interior of the box. As the round progresses, the brightness of the light tube becomes higher and higher, causing the color of the box to become lighter and lighter.

"No wonder the ground monkey is so fond of this box... Is it also one of the "rules"? "

Qi Xia jumped out of the perspective and looked at the game from a more grand perspective.

The big round table of this game seemed to have been used for a long time. It was pitch black, like the sky with no end in sight. The "Tao" scattered on the table flashed a faint light, like stars.

The square box in the center is placed in the center of the round table.

At this time, it is changing from the same dark brown as the table to light yellow, like a bright moon that is becoming visible.

"Is it possible that the "new moon" is more than just this...?"

Every time the ground monkey says "round" in a sonorous and powerful voice, is it to trigger a mechanism inside the wooden box to change the color of the wooden box?

But Qi Xia has already guessed the rules of this game. Even the ground monkey has said the words "straight" and "a pair". Logically, the rules used by the ground monkey are not much different from what he imagined. Even if there is a difference, it is just a question of which is bigger, "straight" or "four of a kind".

Since the rules are completely clear, what does the increasingly bright wooden box represent?

Looking at the dirty and perfunctory game venue here, Qi Xia does not think that the ground monkey has the leisure and elegance to put a box that changes with the number of rounds to improve the elegance of everyone. Combined with the ground monkey's performance just now, he definitely has a backhand.

And his backhand is most likely the box that keeps changing in front of him.

Although Qi Xia didn't know what the ground monkey was going to do, he could only be on guard in advance. If it was really based on the principle of "new moon and full moon", the box was getting brighter now, which was a process from "new moon" to "full moon".

When the box reached the brightest, something unexpected would definitely happen. If you couldn't think of it in advance, you would be in a passive situation.

Although you have won a lot of chips in the early stage, gambling is like this. It is very likely that all the chips you won will be lost in the last round, so you must not take it lightly until the last round of cards.

Tiantian collected all the cards in her hand, shuffled the cards several times with awkward hands, and then raised the cards and asked: "Do you... want to shuffle?"

Everyone shook their heads, and even the ground monkey didn't mean to shuffle. No one reminded this round, and everyone had already placed a "Tao" on the table.

"Then I'll deal the cards." After Tiantian finished speaking, she first drew a "public card" and placed it in the center of the table.

"Double Ninth Festival".

"Double Ninth Festival." Qi Xia read.

Now it seems that the "public card" in each round is crucial. This card determines what kind of cards everyone can get in order to win, and it is also the most intuitive information for identifying the cards in other people's hands.

Since the card revealed in this round is "Nine Nine", it naturally means that there is a high probability of a large number of "pairs" or "three of a kind" and "four of a kind" appearing in this game.

And "whether you can touch nine" has also become the direction of everyone's efforts in this round.

Tiantian turned over a "Xiaoshu" in front of her. This card is not bad, after all, it is "June 6".

Now she has two "Nine" and two "Six". Next, as long as her "hidden card" is good enough, she can still fight.

Although there are not many cards in this game, there are only thirty-six cards in total, but in a game, seven people plus the public cards only need to touch fifteen cards in total, and there are still eleven cards in a hidden state. The probability of guessing the hand of the monkey is very low.

The next person to get the card is Xiao Cheng.

He turned over the card that Tiantian handed over, revealing a "Cold Dew". The Cold Dew of this year is "September 8th".

For both Tiantian and Xiao Cheng, the cards they got in this round were not small. Xiao Cheng now has "three nines", and the exposed cards alone are very lethal.

Then came Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin.

They got "Lantern Festival" and "Laba" respectively.

These two cards are "One One Five" and "One Two Eight". Although the single cards look good, they can't form any combination with "Double Ninth Festival". If they want to win this bet, they have to rely on the next card they can get.

Qi Xia himself got "Mid-Autumn Festival" and "August 15", the same as Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Dihou.

Dihou took the card handed over by Tiantian, turned it over on the table, and the words "Autumnal Equinox" were displayed.

The autumnal equinox of this year is "August 23".

So it seems that Dihou is in the same situation as Qi Xia and others, and got a card that is useless at present.

The last person to get a card is Zheng Yingxiong.

He got a "Spring Festival".

"The first day of the first lunar month." Qi Xia nodded after reading it. Now if everyone wants to win this game, they can only rely on Tiantian, Xiao Cheng, and Zheng Yingxiong.

"I am "Laba". "Qiao Jiajin laughed, "I am the biggest, right? I will bet two!"
