Starting from the Dragon Tribe

In the empty underground tunnel, the old train rumbled.

Some of the passengers in the carriage were sitting comfortably in their seats and taking things as they happened, some were standing at the windows and looking curiously, and some were thinking and analyzing expressionlessly...

Everyone is basically relaxed. After leaving Avalon, which is known as impossible to "escape", the new Nibelungen cannot be worse.

As for the danger?

Lu Chen is here. If the Dragon King is easy to talk to, just chat with him and let them go out. If he is not easy to talk to, just hack him to death.

Even Lu Mingfei doesn't think that any first-generation species can defeat Senior Brother Lu. The heroic spirit in Avalon is the best explanation. After absorbing the power of the four first-generation species, Senior Brother Lu is already a super power. A monster.

Among all the people, only one person was filled with anxiety...

Xia Mi felt like he was out of luck.

She forgot that the Nibelungen established by her stupid brother would automatically be picked up by a subway station if someone entered.

She didn't dare comment on what kind of dragon she was, but her brother was absolutely harmless. He had never planned to kill anyone, which could be seen from the characteristics of the Nibelungen.

No matter how hungry you are after entering, you will not die, and as long as you can win the card game with the dealer, you can leave this place.

To put it bluntly, stupid brother is just too lonely and wants to find someone to play with him.

But now the problem is serious. Due to this small oversight, the subway appeared in front of Lu Chen, and Eri Yi felt curious whether she was alive or not.

Even if Senior Brother Lu, a maniac who dotes on his wife, doesn't want to see the Dragon King, he definitely wants to sit there and sit there!

Originally, she could have thought of a way to fool them, and let the subway run for a while before returning to the previous platform, making Lu Chen and Erika think that there was nothing in this Nibelung, and then she encouraged everyone to go out with sweet words.

But... what is this Zhao Menghua! ?

Why did you break into my house?

It's illegal to break into a house without permission, right?

Breaking into the Long Mansion without permission... is also illegal, right?

And even if you broke in, why are your mental qualities so poor, and no one will die, why are you committing suicide! ?

Xia Mi's current state of mind is like that of a normal person who has been on a business trip for a long time. When he returns home and opens the door, he finds a strange dead man lying on the carpet in the hallway. By chance, he brings his friend, a policeman uncle, as a guest...

Too bad!

Although Ling had initially concluded that Zhao Menghua committed suicide, how was she going to explain to the "uncle policeman"?

The key point is that this has completely attracted the attention of "Uncle Police". Seeing how excited Lu Chen is now, he will not give up until he finds the Dragon King!

Even if she stops the car now, it is estimated that Lu Chen will not leave. Even if he does, he will still be groping in the Nibelungs.

As for the other troublesome cold-faced demon man, when he saw that Brother Lu was looking for him, he absolutely spared no effort to use his wits...

what to do?

Xia Mi secretly glanced at Chu Zihang, who was writing down drawings and calculations in the small notebook provided by Ling. The other party was currently recording the time, distance and pattern of each time he passed the platform.

At this moment, Lu Chen was putting the black dragon-slaying weapon in front of his knees that made her tremble at the sight, and was wiping it with a rag to maintain it.

Hey, didn’t you agree to go and say thank you? ?

One of you is carefully calculating the path, and the other is maintaining the weapon. You are completely ready to go to the battlefield! ?

In the end, she could only find a new breakthrough, and the pillow style was the best. She moved to the right without leaving a trace, and sat next to Eri Yi, "Eri Yi, don't you feel that it's boring to run around here all the time? "

Yes, it all happened because Eriki expressed her interest in the subway. She wanted to make this girl feel boring.

If you want to take the subway, I can accompany you throughout BJ City at my own expense after you leave!

Kehui Liyi shook her head, "It's quite fresh, and I feel there is a very strong aura here, which weakens and strengthens as the subway moves forward."

Xia Mi wanted to cry but had no tears. She had forgotten that Eliyi was also a maniac about doting on her husband. After she realized that Lu Chen wanted to see the Dragon King here, her purpose had completely changed.

Not looking at the "scenery" in the dark tunnel at all, but helping to find the Dragon King.

That very powerful aura was of course talking about her stupid brother, because this passage circulated in an interval, so of course there was a place really close to the stupid brother.

In fact, if it weren't for her control, this car would have stopped long ago, arriving at the stupid brother's reserved project, Kamamaitachi Queen Texas Small Card Table.

"So long."

Lu Chen stretched his neck and yawned. They had been sitting for more than twenty minutes.

Chu Zihang raised his head and said, "A cycle lasts about four minutes and twenty-seven seconds. That was the fifth time we passed the platform when we boarded the bus. The bus seemed to be moving endlessly."

"It's really ink. Is this car bad? How about I stop it and let's take a look?"

Lu Chen suggested that this car keeps running and cycles without stopping.

Chu Zihang's face was expressionless, "You can give it a try, but Brother Lu, you have to be gentler. There are junior brothers and sisters in the carriage."

Xia Mi almost jumped up when he heard this. Hey, hey, hey, what are you two talking about? How can you discuss violently stopping the subway in such a serious manner?

This subway is so dilapidated, how can it withstand your torment? It is an old toy that my stupid brother bought. If it breaks, what should I do if he asks me to get a new one?

"Senior Brother Lu...should we observe for a while?"

Lu Mingfei was horrified after hearing this. What kind of brain circuit is this? This old-fashioned subway has a total of 6 carriages. The total number of carriage axles should exceed 300 tons. Senior Brother Lu, do you actually want to stop the car violently?

You think you're the Amazing Spider-Man?

Oh no, Spider-Man is so weak compared to Senior Brother Lu!

Xia Mi also quickly echoed Lu Mingfei, "Senior brother, I think what classmate Lu said this time makes sense. The Dragon King shouldn't let us keep running in a loop."

No, it can't be delayed any longer. Lu Chen must be given something to do so that he and Eriki can explore the Nibelungs a little bit before they can let each other leave.

This was all she could do. At this time, she could only trust her brother.

"Godzilla, it seems like it's slowing down."

Eriki reminded that she actually saw a copper-colored figure fleetingly on the road just now, but Xia Mi shouted, so she couldn't see it clearly because she was distracted.

"Then let's see what happens when we get to the station."

Lu Chen stood up with Regicide in hand, a kind smile on his face.

Xia Mi really wanted to complain, Senior Brother Lu, can you put down the knife first?

The axle and the track made a slight friction sound. This was not a sudden braking, but just because the subway was too old.

The subway is stable and the carriage doors are open.

"ah--"

Lu Mingfei let out a ghostly scream and stood in front of the car door. As soon as the door opened, he felt like he had seen a ghost.

The skeleton of a nine-headed weasel reflected a bronze luster, and nine pairs of empty eyes were staring directly at him.

Lu Chen raised his sword out of habit, but when he saw that the weasel didn't attack, he put it down again.

This made Xia Mi breathe a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, he knew that Queen Kamitachi was not a living Kamitatsu, but an alchemical living being, equivalent to some kind of puppet that could be controlled remotely, and was also the dealer here.

Next, she would use the game to satisfy Eri Yi and make Lu Chen retreat.

"This looks like a gambling table."

After Chu Zihang got out of the car, he glanced at Queen Weasel, and then focused on the rectangular gaming table in front of her. Perhaps because of its age, the green velvet on it looked dirty.

"The Dragon King in this place is really weird. Not to mention the place is broken. He also has a gambling table. Is it possible to invite people who come in to play cards with him?"

Fingel complained.

Zero calmly speculated: "Probably not. This may be a rule in the Nibelungs, just like we used to solve puzzles in the Nibelungs."

"Is this thing alive? It's motionless."

Lu Mingfei saw that Queen Kamaita was silent and that Senior Brother Lu and the others were by her side, so he boldly took two steps forward to observe.

At this time, the skeleton of Kamaita suddenly poked its head forward, which frightened Lu Mingfei. It spoke in a mechanical voice, like some established procedure: "Participants in the gamble are not allowed to communicate in any way. If you win a thousand Bottle caps and you’re out of here.”

Lu Chen felt it was a bit fun. This was the first time he had seen such a Nibelung puzzle. Compared with searching for ancient text clues that he couldn't understand all over the Nibelung, this game method is quite straightforward. .

"What does bottle cap mean?"

He knew the other party was probably talking about chips, but they didn't have bottle caps on them.

The dealer's mechanical voice explained: "Bottle caps are the highest bargaining chip. One bottle cap is equal to ten compasses, one hundred cigarette boxes, one thousand ancient copper coins, and ten thousand ancient silver coins."

Lu Chen was stunned. No matter how ignorant he was, he could clearly tell how valuable the chips were, but the dealer's value proposition for the chips was completely distorted and opposite.

Eriki was not afraid of the skeletal dealer. In her opinion, this was an unrealistic magical creature. Instead, she became interested when she heard that she was going to play a game, "How can we get chips?" ?”

You can play the game only if you have chips. Outside money will definitely not work here, and no one has any cash on them.

"Newcomers can get a certain amount of chips based on their inner loneliness. If the chips are used up, they can continue to wait on the subway. Loneliness is your bargaining chip."

The croupier still explained using a mechanical voice.

At this time, Chu Zihang thought for a moment and asked: "You just said you can leave if you win a thousand bottle caps, so how can you meet the... king here?"

He originally wanted to say that he was the master, but he was afraid that the living beings would not understand. The Dragon King was not a human being.

After Chu Zihang asked, there was no response from the living spirit. It was like a programmed NPC. This question was not within the scope of its intelligent answer.

When a normal person enters this kind of ghost place, who wouldn't cry for his father and mother and want to go home quickly? How can he be eager to find the Dragon King?

Lu Chen stepped forward and patted the croupier on the head. Suddenly, the bronze frame made a clicking sound, as if it was about to fall apart. "Come on, it's not like we don't abide by the rules of the game."

The croupier's bones trembled again...

From Xia Mi's perspective, the "friendly" expression on Lu Chen's face used for negotiation was completely like a devil's smile.

Just ask questions, why are you filming the Kama family? ?

If you don’t look at the shelf, it’s about to fall apart. Who will play with you?

However, she also quickly used her power to secretly control this living creature. This was a good opportunity for everyone to retreat before the difficulties.

"Please stop taking pictures of this handsome gentleman. If you want to see the Supreme Being, then..."

Xia Mi thought for a while and set a goal that she thought was impossible. "...Each of you must win two thousand bottle caps."

Lu Chen frowned. He had never played Texas Hold'em, but he knew what type of game it was. This kind of game was indispensable for mathematics and luck, but he...had neither.

He thought it was okay if Chu Zihang and the others could win enough, but it seemed unrealistic for him to win so much.

"Can the chips be transferred?"

he asked.

The dealer was silent again. In principle, chips cannot be transferred directly, but if you can deliberately lose to others in a gambling game, it is a disguised transfer.

Xia Mi thought about it and decided that it would be better to follow Lu Chen's wishes a little, but there should be no risk. To make a compromise, she controlled the dealer and said: "It can be transferred, but at least four of you must be able to meet the standard on your own. Chips cannot be transferred directly between those four people."

Xia Mi came up with this condition after careful consideration.

She knew Lu Chen very well. He was a reckless man. He didn't know anything about probability theory. He was very unlucky. It was a fool's errand to win 2,000 bottle caps on his own.

Lu Mingfei, although he is quite mysterious, his grades in cultural classes are terrible, and his math is even weaker, so he will never win enough.

Then there is Fingel. She seems to have heard that this senior brother is actually pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, but he can pass the exam until the eighth grade, and his academic performance will never be too strong.

In the end, it’s me. She’s also involved in the game, so it’s 100%... let her go!

The stupid brother is not good at anything else, but he is a first-class player at cards. He is definitely the best in the world and has few opponents in the field of Texas.

Chu Zihang and Ling have strong mathematical and analytical skills, so it is not impossible to win.

As for the girl Eri, although her studies are average (mainly because she hasn't attended many classes), her luck is unbelievably good for some reason.

To sum up, if you take a hundred steps back, it is possible for Chu Zihang, Ling, and Hui Liyi to reach the standard, but it is impossible for the remaining people to reach the standard.

Perfect and absolutely safe!

"That's it, let's get started."

Lu Chen nodded, feeling that this condition was acceptable.

His mentality was very calm, and he only regarded this as a small game to relax after leaving Avalon. Whether he could win or not would be discussed later.

It would be best if he could win, and he could successfully meet the Dragon King. If he couldn't win, he could also use another method of negotiation.

"Now let's evaluate your leverage."

The dealer's mechanical voice said, looking at Lu Mingfei first, "A bottle cap."

Then he threw a drink bottle cap with Arctic Ocean printed on it to Lu Mingfei.

After taking it, Lu Mingfei complained: "It's so little."

He felt that the initial capital was too stingy. How long would it take to win two thousand?

But then the dealer looked at Xia Mi again: "A compass."

Xia Mi directed and acted "Catching the Compass". According to the dealer's normal assessment, she will not have only one compass, but she is not lonely at all, and it is easy for her to be too conspicuous.

It's Chu Zihang's turn, a compass.

Zero, a compass.

Fingal, a compass.

Lu Chen, a cigarette box.

Painted pear clothes, an ancient copper coin.

After the chips were distributed, Lu Mingfei looked at the bottle cap in his hand with a confused expression. He suddenly realized that he had the most chips.

And what did the dealer say just now? The lonelier you feel inside, the more chips you have?

Damn it, am I that lonely inside?

Obviously I feel that I have been quite happy recently.

Xia Mi was also a little surprised. Except for herself, she didn't cheat. The ability to peer into people's inner loneliness is the power blessed by the stupid brother. But except for Lu Chen and Eriki, everyone seemed to be quite lonely.

She glanced at Eli Yi, who was holding Lu Chen's hand. Well, you are indeed not alone. You can stay together in a deserted place until the end of time!

"So few..."

Eriki's pretty face swelled slightly, she felt the game was unfair.

"Then give mine to Eri."

Lu Chen directly handed the cigarette case to Hui Liyi. Anyway, the dealer just said that the chips could be transferred outside the venue.

Under Xia Mi's strange gaze, Lu Chen directly spread his hands and took a step back, "You guys start, I won't play."

Senior Brother Lu, you are too self-aware! ?

This is the sentiment of many people present.

"I will work hard for Godzilla's sake."

Eriyi clenched her fists tightly, looking like she was working hard, and she raised her fighting spirit... even though she didn't know the rules of Texas Hold'em at all.

“Does everyone play Texas Hold’em?”

Chu Zihang asked after taking his seat.

"Understand a little bit."

Lu Mingfei nodded and said that he at least knew the rules.

Zero also said expressionlessly: "I understand a little bit."

Eriyi raised her hands like a good baby, "Senior Brother Chu, please tell me the rules."

Chu Zihang is always so attentive. He actually knows that only Eriyi does not understand, but he still asks everyone. This can make people who don't understand feel that this is a collective explanation, instead of being embarrassed and held back by his own ignorance.

"The rules are very simple. The dealer will give us two hidden cards in the starting hand, and then deal five up cards. The dealer will turn over the up cards in sequence according to the number of rounds, three for the first time, and one for the next two times. In each round, before turning over the bright cards, players must place bets in turn, or they can raise. After raising, others can choose to follow, and if they don’t follow, they will fold.”

"If everyone else folds in the middle, you will directly become the final winner. If there are still people on the table in the last round, compare the cards and use the five open cards combined with the arrangement in the player's hands to choose the best one. Combination, whoever has the bigger suit wins.”

"Flush, straight flush, three of a kind, four of a kind, etc. are all big cards. Eriyi can give up the first round with a small stack. I will explain it to you in detail during the game."

After Chu Zihang finished explaining, Hui Liyi had roughly understood the rules, but she also adopted Chu Zihang's suggestion, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chu."

"Senior Brother Chu, how come you are so understanding and concise, as if you often play cards?"

Xia Mi asked curiously. She had never seen Chu Zihang playing cards in the academy. Originally, she only had a small opinion of Chu Zihang, but now she saw the other person's poker face and academic professional appearance, which was a bit unreasonable.

Chu Zihang exchanged his compass for a hundred bronze coins and said calmly: "I understand a little bit."
