Chapter 23 Trust

 Li Kai didn’t waste time and quickly found his target.

"Uncle, are you looking for an opponent? If so, then why not come with me, if you want to win."

Koji Ishida clutched the card in his hand hard and stood still in the noisy crowd. Sweat seeped out from his hair and flowed down, causing the glasses on his nose to slip slightly. At this moment, a soft sound

The voice sounded, but it was like a bolt from the blue, causing him to tremble all over. The glasses that had been worn on the bridge of his nose for an unknown period of time, with a layer of skin peeling off the temples, finally broke free and fell towards the ground.

One hand stretched out and grabbed an empty space.

"Sorry." Li Kai curled his lips slightly, raised his head and said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay." Koji Ishida quickly leaned down and picked up his glasses. Through the slightly blurred lenses, he saw the handsome but slightly confused young man in front of him, and said doubtfully: "You are..."

"No need to use honorifics, uncle, I am Natsume." Li Kai said with a smile.

"Hello, Natsume-kun." Koji Ishida ignored this and asked: "What did you just say? Win?"

"To be more precise, it's a win-win situation." Li Kai nodded, then stretched out his hand as an invitation, "Uncle, do you want to cooperate?"

Ishida Koji looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and held the hand in front of him, and said solemnly: "Cooperation!"

Li Kai smiled and said: "Uncle, aren't you afraid that I am lying to you?"

Ishida Koji was startled for a moment, then he pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at the young man in front of him seriously, then shook his head seriously and said: "Although you look like the kind of man my daughter likes, I believe the eyes can't deceive you.

So I believe you."

This actually made Li Kai stunned, shook his head and smiled, and while beckoning the other person to walk to a table, he leaned closer and whispered: "Uncle, our ability to trust each other is the key to victory this time. Next, listen to me.



"Yes." Koji Ishida couldn't help but become solemn when he heard the words, and even his breathing became slightly short.

"In this bet, the condition for winning is to use up all twelve cards in your hand while maintaining at least three five-pointed stars. I have just observed from the sidelines that the cards in everyone's hands are all stones.

, scissors, and four pieces of paper each. In other words, if everyone can trust each other, it only takes twelve draws to leave here smoothly."

Hearing this, Ishida Koji couldn't help but be surprised and subconsciously asked: "Then why did they..."

Li Kai raised his hand to interrupt, then said with a wry smile: "Uncle, I don't know if you heard a word."

"Which sentence?" Koji Ishida asked in agreement.

"You can't look directly at the world, only the sun and the human heart."

After saying this, Li Kai did not explain, lest this act to build mutual trust would take root in the other person's heart.

He took out the cards and put them on the table, showed them to the other party, and said: "Okay, let's leave them alone. Now take out all the cards, and then we need to use them in order, in order to avoid unexpected situations.

, before playing the cards, we show them to the other party first, and then we drop them at the same time."

"Okay." After Ishida Koji said this, he carefully looked around at the people in black suits wearing sunglasses, and whispered: "Won't we be caught as cheating if we do this?"

Li Kai raised his eyebrows and smiled, scanning the cards on the table opposite, and said with a smile: "You can do whatever is not prohibited by law. Besides, uncle, did you hear what the person on the podium just said about the rules that can't be done?

Cheating?"

Koji Ishida recalled it and said in surprise: "It seems, indeed not."

Li Kai gathered up his twelve cards and finally said: "If you want to be a victorious general in gambling, you can only cheat. We all play scissors on the first card."

"Oh, okay." Koji Ishida put away his confused thoughts and pulled out the scissors card.

"Scissors, rock, paper!"

Snap!

Two cards fall at the same time.

"Tie!" Koji Ishida couldn't help shouting excitedly, but then he covered his mouth in fear, fearing that the people around him would hear it. However, the fact was that no one paid attention to him at all, including the people he was worried about.

Those sunglasses and black suits.

"Continue." Li Kai chuckled.

"Yes!" Koji Ishida nodded happily.

The two immediately started a gambling game with twelve consecutive draws.

……

"It seems that he has found a good partner." Li Yang, who was playing cards across the table from Li Yan, withdrew his gaze and said to his sister with a smile.

"It's the uncle who was supposed to fall to death in the second game of the Path of the Brave." Li Yan responded casually and threw the same card in his hand into the recycling air.

Li Yang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Xiaoyan, do you think he can make it to the end?"

While talking, he played the next card, which was still a draw.

"At least his vision is not bad. He has chosen a partner in this bet that is rare in a short period of time without any malicious intent."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he paused and then said: "With the involvement of players, the changes in the third game will definitely be greater. Maybe we will have to start an internal competition before the final battle."

"So, you plan to rely on him to obtain the qualifications to participate in the final battle." Li Yang looked at the partner Saito chose over there. It was the dungeon character who was supposed to enter the final gambling game. Regarding this, he opened it for the second time.

I only found out about this when I made this copy.

But this time, this dungeon character probably won't have such good luck.

"No." Li Yan directly denied it, and then explained: "Any player, even the simplest player, will not give up easily when faced with rewards, unless it is of little use to them. I only fight for this person to expand my chances of winning.

After all, if the final reward is the skill as I expected, and this person wins in the end, relying on the skill copy scroll we obtained before, we can achieve our goal through trading."

"Are you sure he will agree?" Li Yang put down the ninth card.

"If you want to build a bridge called relationship, you only need to take the first step. Didn't we just do a good job?" Li Yan pulled out the tenth card and prepared to play.

"Then the second step..." Li Yang put down the tenth card.

"Let's talk. If you want to develop towards a win-win outcome, the first thing is for each other to trust each other." Li Yan grabbed the remaining two cards, raised his head and saw the other side that was much faster than this side.

The young man who is the protagonist in this copy squinted his eyes when he yelled angrily at Saito across the table, but was snatched away by a black suit.

Immediately afterwards, at the table to the left of the sight, the young man opposite Li Tailang also had a dull expression on his face. One of the three five-pointed stars on his chest was taken away, and he became one of the losers of this bet.
