In the twelfth round, in Feng Bujue's turn, one could say that he got a very bad result. When he gave out a set of All-Seeing Cards, he created two more pairs of cards from the cards that he already knew.
Just like that, it was Black Butterfly's turn to flip the cards …
After successfully taking away the three known points, Black Butterfly's score increased to 33 points. Of course, she was the one in the lead, so this "reversal of points" did not mean much.
But the point was … the positions of the two "Elysium" cards were now clear.
That was to say, from this moment on, as long as "six phases" were revealed on the table, that is, "the total number of phases flipped by both sides reached twenty-five phases", the party with the right to flip cards would have a very high chance of winning directly.
"I see … I think I know what he's trying to do …" After taking the three points, Black Butterfly did not immediately flip the unknown cards. Instead, she thought, "The three times he flipped the cards just now seemed like a stupid move, but in fact … it was a trap! His intention was to increase my chances of scoring in this round … "
Thinking of this, Black Butterfly sneered and said to Brother Jue, "Ha … You're really bad, Mr. Crow."
Feng Bujue did not respond to this sentence, and his expression under the mask did not change.
"You're so generous to 'help me', to put it bluntly, you want me to continue to attack and reveal more unknown cards, right?" Black Butterfly continued.
"Oh … You've seen through it …" When Feng Bujue heard this, he knew there was nothing to hide.
"It's not that hard to see through …" Black Butterfly was a little proud. "Now that I think about it … You've never been thinking about 'this round' or 'the next round', but 'the whole game'. Since the first round, you've been following this train of thought. So, other than the rounds where you think you should fight for points, you've been revealing the 'unknown cards' in every round. " She paused and said, "If you look at the rules alone, there are three conditions that must be met to determine the winner. First, the twenty-five phases must be revealed on the table. Second, the two 'Elysium' cards must be revealed. Third, when the first two conditions are met, the party with the right to flip cards must have at least 33 points."
At this point, Black Butterfly sneered. "Hmph … However, these are just the obvious conditions. There's a less obvious' condition 'that you can't think of just by looking at the rules. That is, when the first three conditions are met, there must be a certain number of known cards that have not been flipped on the table. "
"Ha … Not bad." Feng Bujue heard this and replied with a smile.
"You don't have to praise me. I'm just a 'normal person'." Black Butterfly replied. "Because I just realized your intention at this moment …" She shook her head and said in a helpless tone, "I have to admit … In addition to your memory ability, you're also better than me in terms of calculation … Using chess as an analogy, as long as you know the rules, you can count one or two moves ahead. But you … When you make your first move, you've already looked at the whole game. You're always five or even ten steps ahead of others." As she spoke, she tapped the table with her hand. "Based on the current situation, I seem to be the one with the upper hand because I'm very close to the 'three conditions on the surface'. But in fact … the last condition is the key to victory …" She continued, "…"
"Those who have enough hidden cards can win at any time. On the other hand, those who have no memory of the hidden cards or know nothing about them, no matter how close they are to 'victory' in terms of points, they won't be able to take the last step …"
"Ha … That's not necessarily true." Feng Bujue said. "If that step is on the ladder called 'strong luck', it's also possible to step to victory, isn't it?"
"Strong luck?" Black Butterfly sneered again. "Humph … Your so-called 'strong luck', don't tell me … From this point onwards, I'll 'reveal six cards' with luck? Ha … If I had that kind of luck … I wouldn't have ended up on this boat, right? "
After that, she began to flip the cards. Without hesitation, she flipped the three known cards and ended her turn.
"Oh … Is this your strategy?" Seeing that, Feng Bujue said listlessly, "Then let me ask you, if from this round onward, I follow your example and only flip the known cards, after two rounds … will you be prepared to forfeit points or will you be prepared to flip an unknown card at the very least?"
Black Butterfly heard this and smiled charmingly. "You can wait for two rounds to see for yourself."
"Ha ha …" Feng Bujue laughed. "Look at your fearless face. You can't hide your thoughts even if you wear a mask …" As he spoke, he stood up from the chair. "You've already calculated … In order to determine the winner, you have to reveal at least seven to nine unknown cards, so you're not in a hurry. Anyway, you'll only flip one unknown card every three rounds. If you're lucky, you might be able to score points. If you're unlucky, you'll just give me a chance to score points. Now that you've got 33 points, it doesn't matter even if I get 15 points in the next round. The only thing you want to fight for … is the 'twenty-fifth card'. The rest doesn't matter. And before that, if I was like you and only flipped an unknown card every three rounds to kill time, you would also be happy … Because your memory ability isn't superior, this kind of good thing that repeatedly consolidates your memory is something you can't ask for more. "
His words had basically described the tactics that the other party had thought of.
Black Butterfly didn't deny it. She immediately replied, "So what if I know?" At this point, she had already given up on her coquettish image and was communicating with her Brother Bujue with her true nature. "Even if I know, the situation won't change. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too conceited. You didn't expect me to see through your strategy. Now … it's too late for regrets. " She pretended to sigh and continued in a provocative tone, "Sigh … Mr. Crow, I might as well guess what you're thinking. Right now, are you thinking — 'If I knew this would happen, I would've competed with her using the usual method from the beginning. Maybe I could've won'?"
"'Maybe'?" Feng Bujue repeated the two words and replied coldly. "What do you mean maybe?" As he spoke, he reached out his hand and was about to flip a card. "You mean … to give up your advantages in all aspects and compete with the opponent in a limited space, where luck plays a large role?"
As he spoke, he flipped an unknown card.
"I'm sorry …" After Brother Jue put down the new card, he added, "You and I … are not in a relationship where we can play those 'easy games' together. Even if the game in front of me isn't that interesting, it's still a 'victory' that involves stakes. I … don't intend to lose. "
