Chapter 301: You Play Deception?! Who

~8 min read 1,436 words

Su Yang suddenly slows his movement, lets out a long sigh, "Alright, now the big king is in my hand."

"Deception activated successfully, the card face changes."

"On your hand? Ridiculous."

Liao Chen bursts out laughing, and slams the card in his hand hard onto the table.

"Snap!"

"Look closely, what I'm holding in my hand!"

Su Yang glances, his face odd, slowly reveals the Hole Cards.

"Then you look closely, what I'm grabbing again in my hand."

Liao Chen's Mouth corner just lifts, the smile suddenly stiffens.

Only to see the card Su Yang reveals is a Fire‑red big king!

"What?!"

He, in disbelief, wipes his eyes, confirms he didn't missee, then lowers his head to glance at the table.

What falls into his sight is a blank card face, with no pattern or numbers at all.

It's just a white card.

The whiteness makes one uneasy!

Su Yang crosses his legs, arms his chest, "I say I have a special ability, do you believe it?"

Liao Chen lets out a sound and stands up, slams the table hard, and loudly says, "You motherf***ing Deception?!"

Su Yang casually tosses the big king back to the center of the table, looks at the 1:1 score beside, and slowly says:

"The game was set by you, the rules were defined by you, the cards were let me choose first."

"I first didn't hide cards, second didn't touch you, third never contacted the card table."

"You and I are suspended over the Dark River, and have no backup assistance."

"Talk about Deception?"

Liao Chen, being questioned in turn, is left speechless, tightly clenching his fist, his nails almost embedding into his flesh.

He knows clearly that the other side must have quietly used Innate Talent.

【5】 Moreover, the effect of this Innate Talent is direct: to steal something away!

Moreover, the effect of this Innate Talent is very direct—it simply steals something away!

When Su Yang first started shuffling cards, he even specifically glanced at his own hand cards.

At that time the big king was still in his hand, not vanished.

But in an instant it turned into a blank playing card.

If there were no Deception here, he would have smashed his head and died on the table!

"Let's continue, there's one final round." Su Yang says with his usual expression.

The calmer he is, the more Liao Chen's inner unease grows.

Originally he thought to make Su Yang feel torment and Torture, but he himself first lost his footing.

"Can't rush, can't lose the initiative…"

The now calm Liao Chen sits down again, takes a deep breath, and strives to steady his mind.

Clearly, the opponent caught him off guard.

The Innate Talent hidden for so long was only used at the final moment.

What surprised him most was that the game he set up happened to be the opponent's "comfort zone".

One card decides victory, and he can via "steal" swap the card face, undoubtedly hitting the mark.

The current score is 1‑1, he still has a chance.

"What, not daring to play?" Su Yang, seeing his delay, asks curiously.

"Who said I'm not daring?" Liao Chen snorts coldly, and says, "Before we start, let's add a side game."

"The winner can draw three cards in the next round, sum their points as the result."

"The loser's result stays the same, can only draw one."

Instantly, with a big hand wave, a Third Tier Cube-like Device appears before the two.

Its six faces are chaotic and each different.

"The rules are simple, whoever twists the six faces correctly first wins!"

Looking at Su Yang's stunned expression, Liao Chen feels a surge of pride.

Since the opponent can steal, he changes the game rules.

Even if he can "steal" the card face, drawing three cards in a round, even discarding one, the sum of the remaining two will inevitably exceed his single card!

Then he only needs to draw three KINGs, discarding one still makes no big deal.

Moreover, even if Su Yang holds the big king, it only counts 20 points.

Two KINGs add up to 26 points.

What does he have to lose?

Su Yang looks at the Cube-like Device before him, laughs sarcastically, "No face left?"

"What, not daring to play?" Liao Chen raises his Eyebrow, "Can't say it straight, but admit defeat."

"I thought about how you'd cheat, but didn't expect you to be so shameless." Su Yang shakes his head silently.

"I only feared you wouldn't have enough fun, so I added a game, why be so tense?" Liao Chen says.

This game was custom‑made especially for Su Yang.

Twisting the Cube-like Device has no card face involved.

As long as the six faces are fixed, the outcome is predetermined.

Even if Su Yang wanted to "steal," he couldn't steal the victory.

"Custom bureau? Interesting," Su Yang laughed.

"Then… let's begin!"

As soon as the words ended, Liao Chen immediately began to twist.

He is not deeply accomplished in this area, and hasn't really studied it.

But as the game arranger, he doesn't even need to use Brain; as long as he twists wildly at random, the result will go in the direction he intends.

Just like the First Place round of the game when drawing cards.

With a casual draw, it's the Big King!

That is the supreme realm of Trickery.

Thinking of Su Yang's upcoming expression that looks like he ate shit, his heart surged, and his hand movements suddenly quickened.

There is nothing more fierce than a vengeful heart.

"I've finished twisting."

"Deception activation successful, Cube-like Device is in place."

As soon as those words were spoken, Liao Chen's eyelids flicked rapidly, and he instinctively looked up.

He saw that the six faces of the Cube-like Device in Su Yang's hand were all aligned.

"How… could this be possible?" Liao Chen's eyes widened.

In his heart, a Giant Wave rose.

If I recall correctly, from the moment he shouted to now…

Less than five seconds have passed, right?

Five seconds to twist a Cube-like Device?

Could it be that his former self was a Cube-like Device master?

Countless possibilities flashed through Liao Chen's Brain.

"Could it be that I've backfired, setting the game into a Domain he excels at?"

The more Liao Chen thought, the more he felt this possibility was huge.

After all, Su Yang has no reference to "steal."

One can't say it's just luck, that a random twist would work, right?

"May I start drawing cards now?" Su Yang asked.

"Don't be impatient, let's play a small game…"

Su Yang slammed the table sharply, coldly saying, "Stop being shameless, playing this trick with me again and again, do you really think I have no Fire?"

"You see, you're impatient again; it's just a game, why take it so seriously?" Liao Chen said.

"I play games with you only to see where the limit of Trickery lies, not to waste time with you here," Su Yang said.

"From now on, a third game is prohibited here!"

"Deception activation successful, you impose the ban."

Liao Chen, hearing this, was indifferent, "This is my Domain; your words don't count."

"I will play as many as I want; as long as I wish, you will never leave this place in your lifetime."

"Unless I win the match, you will die, and you must sit here honestly!"

Hearing these words, Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

He ultimately still underestimated the limit of human shamelessness.

Liao Chen's thick‑skinned nature is the thickest I've ever seen.

Can't afford to play, nor can afford to lose.

But this was within his expectations; what's trust with a habitual Trickery user?

Violence begets violence is the best method.

Trickery, he now understands, is merely about devising games, ultimately a low‑grade Trickery.

"Now… let's start the third game," Liao Chen waved his hand broadly.

However, this time there was no response.

"Hmm?"

Liao Chen, suspicious, waved a few more times, but the field still showed no Transform.

"What's happening?" He instantly panicked, suddenly increasing his force.

Regardless of how many times he waved, the field remained completely still.

The only thing that changed was Su Yang's gaze.

It shifted from sarcasm to compassion.

"What did you do? What have you done to me?" Liao Chen shouted sharply.

Su Yang propped his elbows on the table, palm under his chin, calmly said, "Don't you like playing games?"

"I'll give you a chance."

"Dive into the dark river and hold your breath for five minutes; if you are still alive, I consider myself lost."

"How about it?"
