Chapter 235: Let's Play a Game With You

'Luck Ability User!'

A player named 【Electrolytic Blood】 couldn't help but sneer, "Hey, kid, even if you're a Nine-Turn Martial Artist, it's useless."

Seeing the white-haired youth with exquisite features but a faint sense of world-weariness in his brows, all the players laughed.

"Don't you NPCs understand the situation yet?"

"This body is just a vessel for the game; our true forms are controlling it from another world."

"Exactly, whether physical or mental attacks, you're only striking our game accounts."

"Don't make us laugh with your mere game character; do you think you can jump out and hit me?"

"Greed makes a snake try to swallow an elephant; how can a dog or donkey harm a Supreme One?"

Facing the mockery of these people before him, Fang Can remained unmoved.

With just a slight wave of his hand, he released the restraints binding these people.

The moment the restraints were released, the players tried to flee, but their bodies were instantly immobilized by Fang Can.

Even though the highest among these players had reached the Seventh Layer of the Profound Gate, there was still a gap of thousands of times compared to Fang Can's normal state, leaving no hope of escape.

"Forty-five people? That's a bit too many; I don't need so many dogs."

"So, next, let's play a game."

Fang Can raised both hands; at some point, a deck of poker cards had appeared in each hand. Then, in everyone's sight, he opened them, shuffled, and placed them before the crowd.

"There are 108 cards in total: 4 【Jokers】, and 26 each of 【Spades】, 【Clubs】, 【Diamonds】, and 【Hearts】."

"You 45 people will each draw one randomly. Those who draw 【Clubs】 and 【Diamonds】 will stay as dogs; those who draw the four 【Jokers】 may leave on their own; as for the rest, they can die."

Seeing the youth before them with such composure, all the players thought this NPC must have a problem with his brain.

However, since there was a chance to leave, these players were also willing to play along with Fang Can.

'As long as I don't draw Clubs or Diamonds,' player 【Electrolytic Blood】 prayed in his heart; whether leaving or dying was good news to him.

After all, after a player dies, they can respawn within a certain distance nearby; perhaps there would even be a chance to escape.

With a thrill similar to gambling, these players obediently stepped forward one by one to draw lots.

The first players only took the top few cards, but later some players drew cards from the middle.

After seeing that Fang Can didn't intervene, these players grew bolder, flipping the cards open and picking out the Jokers; soon, the four Jokers were taken.

'He's not even caring about this?'

Seeing the Jokers all picked and Fang Can making no move to stop anyone.

Some players boldly stepped forward, discarded the Clubs and Diamonds they had drawn, and swapped them for the Hearts and Spades representing death.

Quickly, within just three minutes, every player was holding a poker card in their hand.

As for the final result...

The four Jokers were taken, and the remaining 41 players all picked the 【Hearts】 and 【Spades】 representing death.

As for 【Clubs】 and 【Diamonds】, not a single person chose them.

Moreover, because they thought this was just a game, and most players were game bloggers who knew each other, no fighting or snatching occurred throughout the process.

'There are actually 41 people?'

Fang Can pressed his forehead lightly, finding it somewhat troublesome; he hadn't expected such a situation.

He had thought it would be a fifty-fifty split, but these players truly knew how to choose 'death.'

They deliberately picked 【Hearts】 and 【Spades】, which left him completely awkward; he didn't expect people to voluntarily throw themselves to their deaths.

"It seems you have all made your choices."

Fang Can gathered all the remaining cards, hesitated for a moment, and then placed four 【Spades】 and 【Clubs】 representing 'dogs' on the table before him.

"Next, those who drew 【Jokers】 may leave on their own." Fang Can lightly tapped the table with his index finger.

As he spoke, the four players who had drawn Jokers happily walked out of the prison amidst the envious gazes of the other players.

The guard watching the departing players made no move to stop them, as it was Fang Can's order.

Watching their companions leave, the remaining players said in unison, "Are you done yet? Didn't you say you were going to kill us? Hurry up; I'm ready to respawn."

And Fang Can, having never heard such a request in his entire life, smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Rest assured, rest assured; I won't let go of any player holding 【Hearts】 or 【Spades】."

"Including your bodies in the real world."

'Starting to fantasize again,' the other players thought helplessly, only hoping Fang Can would finish speaking quickly and send them to their deaths sooner.

Seeing the impatient players one by one, and wishing to let them die as enlightened ghosts, Fang Can explained with the patience Kong Yiji taught Xun Ge'er:

"Compared to other superpowers, the Luck Ability is essentially a form of probability control."

"Under identical external conditions, tossing a coin, whether in front of your eyes or a hundred kilometers away, the probability of heads or tails is close to 50%."

"And tossing ten heads in a row in front of you is no different from tossing ten heads in a row a thousand li away."

"And so-called Luck Ability Users, their luck is unrelated to distance, but only to intensity."

"Have you heard the story of the Butterfly Effect?"

"In the second year of Yuanhe..."

"What? You want me to assist Senior Fang Can in managing superpower users?"

Inside the newly assigned villa, Feng Qiaoyan listened to Ji Donglai's order from the other end of the phone, somewhat stunned.

Recalling the chat group where countless players complained about being discovered and arrested by superpower users, the girl worried whether she had been discovered.

With a trace of worry, the girl's eyes instantly became vacant, and her consciousness directly exited the game to check the situation in reality.

The moment she logged out of the game pod and opened the group chat, countless messages had already popped up, just as before when she was gone for a moment.

【Electrolyzed Blood】: That Fang Can has gone mad, spouting nonsense about the butterfly effect, thinking he can influence reality just because he's a superpowered being.

【Blood-Handed Demon】: Just an NPC who breaks the fourth wall; a concept worn out in literary works. Verdict: not worth a single atom in reality.

【Interstellar Halberd VIII】: You guys just keep wasting time on this NPC. I drew the Joker card, so I'm leaving first. Behave yourselves for now, and I'll kill people secretly later.

Watching the chat group discuss endlessly, after a brief understanding, the young girl finally realized that Fang Can was already interrogating these players.

'But is superpower really useless in reality...?'

Seeing the contempt in the chat group, the young girl thought of her own memory-erasure ability that had been copied over, and felt a hint of hesitation.

And in the next moment, with a soft ding.

A message from a player caused the chat group's furiously scrolling messages to pause slightly.

"I don't know what happened just now, but the game pod malfunctioned and broke directly. What terrible luck."
