There was no room for going down the wrong path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, without sufficient information, it was best for her to stop at the right point and not continue thinking further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, both she and [Pleasure] clearly understood that the existence of the spectators in the stands was also part of the game, a kind of double-edged sword to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, both of their cards were placed face down on the table, not picked up again. All relevant information was limited to those few seconds when they were first picked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also indirectly indicated that the game design was truly quite fair. [Pleasure] hadn't initially realized the need to prevent the spectators from seeing the cards either, perhaps related to His inherent disdain for humans...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that brief moment earlier, the stands gave eight different answers regarding [Pleasure]'s five cards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the range determined by the majority of answers, Xie Antong now concluded that the opponent's five cards were drawn from the Zodiac Animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And currently, there were at most six possibilities: Ox, Tiger, Dragon, Horse, Dog, Pig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unclear which one was misidentified or which answer was a wild guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selecting five cards from the Zodiac Animals, Xie Antong refused to believe this was a random choice or mere coincidence. There had to be a deeper meaning to the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the specifics, she couldn't say yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner said than done, [Pleasure] Himself certainly wouldn't give Xie Antong this much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, immediately after He finished speaking earlier, He had already taken action!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although letting her think was also a way to consume chips, since [Pleasure] Himself didn't intend to deduce the game rules, of course He had to apply pressure constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pleasure] forcefully pushed two hourglasses forward, placing them in the very center of the gambling table, the momentum as if He had pushed out mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehe, why such a serious expression?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Little girl, why are you frowning like that? In such an interesting game, you should smile more.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Also, I have already started betting. Hurry up and call, play your card!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying [Pleasure]'s sinister laughter, a number floating in the air above the two of them appeared simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30... 29... 28...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a countdown, marking the time Xie Antong had to push out her chips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before betting started, both sides could delay as long as they wanted. But once betting began, every call had a time limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the game's betting rules, Xie Antong, as the caller in this round, had to bet at least one chip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she conceded this round right now, that one chip would go directly to [Pleasure].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even if conceding, she still had to discard the card she intended to play this round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if she wanted to gamble, she had to match the bet, which meant two chips, the same as the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong had no time to continue thinking and looked up at the countdown overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't felt it while dawdling before, but now that the game had started, the urgency of time was comparable to the countdown of her own life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placing a bet under completely unknown rules was something her own principles could least accept. She would never play a game like this normally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing that instinctive anxiety, she still pushed out two chips when the countdown had passed halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very uncomfortable with this state of relying entirely on luck, but at this moment, there was no other choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the cost of two chips, to gamble on an unknown, she needed to know the outcome of this round to infer the next piece of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, I call. Let's start the first round...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wait, it's not over yet~]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A somewhat ferocious smile appeared on Pleasure's face, interrupting Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Since I placed the bet first this round, I have the opportunity to raise once when you call for the first time!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, He raised His hand again, picked up three more chips, and slammed them heavily onto the table!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I'll... raise a little bit!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the dull sound, [Pleasure] looked at Xie Antong with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five hourglasses were neatly arranged on the table, as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: !\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of her eye couldn't help but twitch, the pressure in her heart rising another notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the spectator stands on both sides were already in an uproar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does this mean? Why raise extra? Does He already know the rules?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible! Even if He knew, He wouldn't know what card 'Blank' will play, and 'Blank' hasn't even played a card yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the meaning of this? Without knowing the rules, shouldn't He test more in the early stages? Isn't He afraid of losing the bet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong remained silent. Hearing the voices from the surrounding stands, the delighted smile on [Pleasure]'s face grew even more pronounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this... this is good! He enjoys this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mortals' shocked exclamations were the nourishment for His self-satisfaction. Listening to their voices was like hearing the inner thoughts of the prey before Him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[How about it? Call it. My cards have been lying there all along~.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pleasure] pointed at the cards on the table and said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the black box, [Death] very conveniently spoke up again at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I want to know, how did you know earlier that she was about to break?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I don't believe your earlier actions were just madness. You appeared precisely when \"Pleasure\" was applying extreme pressure on her and relieved her psychological burden.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows? I just felt it was a bit stuffy here and wanted to go out for a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing \"Sin\" spouting nonsense here, [Death] shook His head and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This kind of game of tormenting people psychologically is what \"Pleasure\" excels at.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[However, gambling is gambling. What you need to win isn't the game itself; you only need to win your opponent!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your teammate, even playing normally afterwards, won't be able to withstand His pressure.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[How to remain calm under pressure is the first major challenge at the gambling table, especially when \"thoughts are treated as consumables.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, He raised His head, facing the darkness before Him, and smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This was originally your forte. Your ability to remain 'abnormal' under pressure is something we have all witnessed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is truly... a pity.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1144,"2026-06-02T09:03:46.946Z",1,"novelbin.me","239552769796021fa2fe73d777952d3e6ade4a91513c93deaf56e20351629c69","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-813","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-811",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
