I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats-Chapter 1607 - 525: Five-Player Landlord Poker

"I have played Dou Di Zhu before, but playing with five people is truly a first for me!" Mu Rufeng said casually.

Cigar Deceit chuckled beside him and explained, "Actually, the rules are quite similar: each person gets 21 cards, and the landlord’s hole cards are still three cards. There’s not much difference in the basic gameplay."

Then, Cigar Deceit elaborated on the gambling algorithm: "It’s fine as long as you’ve played before. The game ends once someone finishes all the cards in hand. Then others calculate wins and losses based on the remaining number of cards, with each card worth a hundred bucks."

At first, it might seem that a card worth only a hundred doesn’t earn much money.

However, thinking about it carefully, if this is a person’s victory result, it’s quite considerable.

After all, we’re using two decks here, totaling 108 cards. Each player is dealt 21 cards, and the remaining 3 are the landlord’s hole cards.

Calculating this way, assuming luck is insanely good, you could potentially win up to eight thousand soul banknotes!

Of course, achieving such a perfect ending isn’t easy unless you manage a "Spring" round perfectly.

Speaking of which, Cigar Deceit suddenly remembered an important rule to add: "Oh, by the way! Another thing to note is that each person’s turn must not exceed three seconds. Once overtime occurs, the current round loses the chance to play directly to the next player."

Cigar Deceit took a deep drag from his cigar, exhaled smoke slowly, and spoke again: "According to our rules here, whoever gets the Spade 3 is the landlord. Furthermore, the landlord has a special right, which is to choose to double or triple."

Hearing this, Mu Rufeng sitting beside furrowed his brows slightly, then asked: "What exactly does doubling mean? Also, shouldn’t there be two Spade 3s? How do we decide who the landlord is?"

Cigar Deceit heard and replied calmly: "Doubling means that if you become the landlord and choose to double, the stake of each card will increase accordingly."

"For example, if a card is originally worth a hundred bucks, once you choose to double, it becomes two hundred. If it’s tripled, then it’s three hundred bucks per card!"

Then, he explained in detail: "As for the Spade 3 issue, to select the landlord fairly, we deliberately swap the Spade 3 from one of the decks for another suit. This way, there will only be a unique Spade 3 in play."

After hearing the explanation, Mu Rufeng nodded, indicating that he understood the rules.

Then, he calculated secretly in his heart: "If choosing to double based on the current scenario, the maximum win can actually reach over twenty thousand, which is not a small amount!"

At this moment, he already had a total of twenty-six thousand, and if he could smoothly win another four thousand, the trial would be completely successful.

Surely, if luck is good enough, perhaps a single round could achieve the goal.

But he also clearly understood that things rarely go as smoothly as imagined, and unforeseeable situations would undoubtedly arise to disrupt.

Thinking of this, Mu Rufeng breathed out gently, still wearing a slight smile, and said: "Alright, since we’ve figured it all out, let’s get started!"

For Mu Rufeng, the most prudent approach was when only one thousand or even a few hundred bucks were left, to decisively stop, and then go to Fan Xiaofan for the deserved bonus share.

It was then that Mu Rufeng suddenly asked, "Who will shuffle the cards?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth-rank Peak Expert Scar Deceit, having remained silent, slowly pulled out an exquisite card box from his arms and tossed it onto the gambling table without hesitation.

"This time none of us will shuffle the cards; we’ll use this item to deal," Scar Deceit said.

Seeing this, the originally relaxed Cigar Deceit couldn’t help but frown slightly, but he ultimately didn’t say much.

And seeing the situation, Mu Rufeng acted very casually, with no pretension.

He quickly stood up, strode to the gambling table, and steadily picked up the card box.

Then, he carefully inspected and checked the attributes of this card box.

[Golden City’s Automatic Card Shuffler]: This is an automatic card shuffler produced by Golden City, which is expensive and popular.

Effect: Level 5 item, comes with ten decks of cards, and can adjust the number and gameplay of cards before distribution. It autonomously deals cards, and dealt cards cannot be exchanged, altered, or influenced by Fifth-rank and lower powers.

Note: If a power above Fifth-rank interferes with the dealt cards, an alarm will immediately trigger, up to Eighth-tier Ghost King.

Mu Rufeng’s face revealed an expression of joy: "This is indeed a rare item! With this card shuffler, there’s absolutely no need to worry about someone cheating!" He said and gently placed the shuffler back.

The others, seeing this, couldn’t resist their curiosity any longer, crowded forward to carefully inspect the attributes of this mysterious item.

After a round of observation and research, everyone was highly satisfied with this shuffler.

Because with it, no one could manipulate the game through cheating methods anymore.
