Chapter 274: Chapter 128: Spending a Lot of Money_2

"You said that Rocket Head can’t be trusted either, so is it really just the two of us?"

Ling Sha looked towards Room A and murmured, "Should have blended into the opposite side..."

"Do you know that Iron Hand?"

Lin An shook his head.

"Then... what about Tai Sui?" Ling Sha asked again.

Lin An still shook his head.

Ling Sha smiled, "That Tai Sui, he might have seen through our tricks just now."

"He knows I’m Number 10."

Lin An tilted his head, "Him? How could... Our coordination was seamless."

"At the time, no one knew we knew each other, how could he possibly think of us switching identities?"

Ling Sha shrugged, "Don’t know, maybe because you admitting to being Number 10 was too easy."

"If he comes to us later to cooperate, just ask him directly."

"Next, let’s break up the opposite team first."

"I will directly duel Swamp Crocodile!"

Lin An was startled, "Direct king versus king?"

"A showdown in the first round?"

Ling Sha smiled coolly, "What kind of showdown? It could end in a draw, I just want to test his capabilities."

"The key is to provide everyone a chance to gamble."

Lin An was puzzled, "But, Ling Sha sis... there are only three 4-point players now. You, me, and Swamp Crocodile."

"That means, only we qualify to gamble at the table; others dare not bet lightly."

The rules were very clear... The points staked by gambling players must be equal; if a player cannot cover the bet, they are considered out of the gambling, and the staked points go into the prize pool.

That is, if A bets 1 point on winning, B bets 1 point on losing, and C bets 2 points on winning, then A and B both must add another 1 point to match the points C bet.

If A bets 4 points and others can’t bring up that many points, they are considered out of the gambling, and the staked points aren’t returned.

Originally, if no tricks were played, there would be five players with 4 points this round, and all five could gamble.

As a result of their manipulation, Black Knight, Number 1, went straight to minus five points, and Number 9 also ended up with only 2 points because of losing 1.

There were only three 4-point players.

Ling Sha’s lips curved up, "What if I bet 4 points on myself to win?"

Lin An exclaimed, "Then Swamp Crocodile would definitely also bet 4 points on his win, or to be safer, bet on a draw. Guarding a draw is simpler; he just has to drag it out with you for thirty minutes."

Ling Sha looked at Lin An, "If there’s also you, eagerly watching without betting, then he’ll definitely bet on a draw."

"But what if you also bet 4 points, wagering on me to win?"

"Eh?" Lin An’s eyes widened, thinking has Ling Sha gone mad?

That would mean they would be staking their entire 8 points, betting on Ling Sha to take down Swamp Crocodile.

"Are you confident you can beat him?"

Ling Sha said, "Didn’t I say? I’m going for a draw."

"Ah? But if it’s a draw, both our 8 points are lost!" Lin An said excitedly.

Ling Sha revealed a mad smile, "That’s exactly why Swamp Crocodile will definitely bet 4 points on his win."

"You think guarding a draw is that simple? In his view, you and I have already gone all-in with a whopping 8 points, betting on me to win."

"That’s the will to ensure victory, like a lunatic who gambles everything from the get-go in a bloody battle."

"If he harbors a mentality of guarding a draw, he’s very likely to crash."

"So he will definitely buy his own win, not daring to bet on a draw."

Lin An thought it over carefully, and it made sense.

In Swamp Crocodile’s eyes, their heavy betting certainly seemed like they were playing to win.

Up against a powerful Ling Sha, who went all-in just to kill him, how could he dare to guard a draw?

Guarding a draw meant he couldn’t strike with lethal blows; whether he was killed or killed Ling Sha, he’d lose.

Even with the option of kill inheritance, but with Ling Sha’s all points betting on her own victory, killing her would still result in zero points earned.

If Swamp Crocodile bet all his points on a draw, he would also end up with zero points.

Facing an all-in Ling Sha hellbent on victory, returning blood for blood, life for life, how difficult would it be for him to guard a draw?

Better to go for broke and bet on his own win.

Based on real skill, let’s see who kills whom!

So it would be Swamp Crocodile betting 4 points on his win, with Ling Sha’s side betting 8 points on her own win.

And the most crucial point was that there wouldn’t be a fourth person to bet on a draw because no one else had 4 points.

Lin An frowned, "What if Swamp Crocodile splits his bets? He bets 2 points on a draw and another 2 points on his win."

Ling Sha laughed, "Then he wouldn’t be ’matching’ with me, right? If he splits his bets, then every single one of his bets also needs to reach 4 points to match mine."

"Splitting chips can’t be combined to count as matching. If we hadn’t bet and he split his bet 2-2, then the 2-point players could enter too."

"Similarly, if he breaks his bets into 1 and 3, then the 1-point players could also enter."

"Once I throw down my 4 points in a single stroke, then his split chips all go into the prize pool, and he must also go all-in on one bet."

Lin An nodded; if a player splits their bets, then other players only need to match the individual portion of their bet.

Otherwise, if a person with lots of points bets on all three outcomes, win, lose, and draw, other players can’t participate, rendering this whole section meaningless.

The cost of splitting bets inevitably allows players with fewer points to join in.

"Then... in reality, you want a draw? So if nobody bets on a draw... wouldn’t that be a void match?" Lin An was surprised.

Ling Sha tilted her head back, "That’s right, I want a void match! I want all three of us to go all-in, a total of 12 points, all going into the prize pool for the next duel!"

"Sss!" Lin An inhaled sharply.
