Chapter 554

~4 min read 708 words

She also subtly signaled with her eyes to Yingmei.

The meaning was simple.

Look,

I told you to play card 02 and you didn't!

Now someone else beat you to it, huh?

Yingmei: "..."

Is this my fault?

How was I supposed to know the mighty Tianheng Star would do something like this?

"Damn it, I didn't pay attention and almost got my base stolen!"

Yingmei's heart was unsettled.

I got here first.

Yet her expression remained perfectly calm.

"Come on, let's play Landlord."

Saying this, she picked up the playing cards, set aside the three Landlord cards, and began dealing.

"Amazing!"

Watching Yingmei deal with a completely calm face, Little Pamong looked admiringly.

She was clearly miserable inside, yet acted as if nothing were wrong.

Indeed, women are naturally actors!

Even adorable Ying is no exception!

Soon, Yingmei finished dealing all fifty-one cards.

The first round's Landlord was Han Feng.

"Who'd have thought Boss Han would be the Landlord!"

After dealing, Yingmei was also taken aback.

After all, the Landlord gets three extra cards and the first-move advantage.

There's a high chance they can win.

But Yingmei wasn't worried.

With her and Little Pamong attacking together, Boss Han wouldn't win easily.

Perhaps they could even defeat Boss Han this way.

Thinking this, Yingmei shot Little Pamong a glance.

Little Pamong gave an almost imperceptible nod.

Though the two had some "minor tensions,"

before the big boss Han Feng, they stood united.

"Hehe, Boss Kou, don't blame me for teaming up with Yingmei this time!"

Little Pamong grinned.

Though she hadn't even looked at her cards yet.

But logically, two could never lose to one.

"Rules are rules, no problem."

Han Feng smiled faintly.

Then he picked up his cards and examined them.

The moment he did, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Including the three extra Landlord cards, he had twenty in total.

Four single cards, plus a Big Joker, one pair, and one bomb.

Finally, there was an eight-nine-ten triple-plane.

"This hand..."

Zi Mao had also just understood the rules.

So when she saw this hand, she instantly got it.

She immediately admired Boss Han's luck.

"As per rules, I go first—a pair of threes."

"Pass!"

"You can't even beat a pair of threes?"

Watching Little Pamong, Han Feng's next player, Yingmei was stunned.

Is there any card smaller than that in this deck?

What kind of cards does she even have?

"My hand's a bit special!"

Little Pamong scratched her head, a little embarrassed.

Her hand wasn't bad, but not great—average.

A five-six-seven triple-plane, three pairs, and two single cards.

If she really wanted to, she could play.

But Little Pamong didn't want to.

First, she wasn't the gatekeeper—playing a pair wouldn't help at all.

It might only add burden to Yingmei, making it harder for her to play her cards.

Second, little Paimon also has a heart that wants to end the game.

She is preparing to wait.

Once the big cards outside are played, her A will become useful.

Then, with a plane and consecutive pairs, she'll clear the hand in one go,

and she will win this round of cards!

"Forget it, I'm the goalkeeper—I'll handle Boss Han! A pair of Qs!"

Yingmei laid down two cards.

She was ready to rely on herself this round.

Because her hand was excellent.

One bomb, a pair of As, a pair of Qs, three Js, plus a small joker.

As long as little Paimon puts in just a little effort,

then they would surely win this round.

"No!"

Han Feng shook his head.

His current hand wasn't suitable to respond—wait a bit longer.

Seeing neither of them wanted it, Yingmei's interest surged.

"Three Js with a pair!"

Seeing still no one wanted it, Yingmei played a seven.

After all, she had two As, a small joker, and a bomb still in hand.

She was very confident.

"Big Joker!"

At that moment, Han Feng acted.

He tossed a red joker directly onto the table.

"No!"

Little Paimon still shook her head.

This was the third time—she hadn't played a single card.

Yet inside, she was screaming.

"Finish playing the big cards quickly—then it'll be my turn!"

After little Paimon came Yingmei's turn to play.
