Chapter 293: Chapter 135: Class Gameplay

The Black Knight looked at the three players who declared themselves as number 9 and just felt a headache coming on.

Then, his gaze shifted toward Lin An.

Lin An smiled, "Don’t look at me, I’m also super small... but bigger than you."

"I play your MD!" The Black Knight couldn’t help but curse out loud.

The Black Knight regretted revealing his cards first.

He was number 1, everyone could tell because he was the only one who immediately wanted to pair up before everyone had declared their identity.

The one he was looking for had to be the only AI that had declared itself as number 9.

If he wasn’t number 1, then who was? No sooner had he, number 1, stood up, then a bunch of 9s followed suit, wasn’t that just to mess with him?

"So, could I possibly be another number?"

The Black Knight broke out in a cold sweat, frantically thinking.

But he couldn’t think of a perfect reason to explain his actions.

Unless... he played himself like a number 10, eagerly pairing up as a ruse to pretend to be number 1.

But here’s the problem, if others believed he was number 10, they would be even less likely to pair up with him.

He really was number 1, the naturally smallest number, the card that must find a pair.

"Fuck!"

The Black Knight felt dizzy; why did he have to be such an unlucky number?

Then could he be another number? Yes, number 5.

Number 5 wouldn’t be the first choice for any other number, it was everyone’s backup plan for pairing up.

But would number 5 disguise itself as number 1? Absolutely impossible.

Pretending to be number 1, wasn’t that just to find number 9? Wouldn’t number 5 then be exposing itself?

Similarly, it was impossible to aim for number 8, 7, or 6.

Number 5 would only look for smaller numbers, in order to disguise itself as a larger one.

"Hmm? I get it now."

"So among these number 9s, one is number 5, one is number 10, and one is truly number 9."

"Damn, then there’s still one bastard, why would they claim to be number 9? They just want to screw me over."

The Black Knight quickly analyzed the situation of the four number 9s at the moment.

The four number 9s were excessive, the Black Knight suspected all three players were lying.

It’s very likely that J is the real number 9, and the AI didn’t lie.

The Black Knight stared at the table, if he had to choose, he would still go with the AI.

Because there’s only one possibility for the AI to lie, and that’s if the AI drew number 10.

Keep in mind, last round, the AI honestly declared itself as number 5, so if the AI drew number 5 it wouldn’t lie.

The AI also wouldn’t purposelessly lie to screw with him, so the AI must either be the real number 9, or number 10, only these two possibilities.

So, pairing up with J would be the real ’happy choice of two.’

"Should I choose J?"

The Black Knight’s gaze turned sharp, pairing with J could only result in two outcomes.

Either gain four points or lose another five points again, this is too damned aggravating.

If he were to explode again, he would be at negative ten points!

"No, no, calm down and think it over again."

The Black Knight analyzed desperately, if the AI didn’t lie, then the three players were all liars.

Their motives were to draw number 10, draw number 5, or purposely to mess with him.

The Black Knight looked at Ling Sha, the woman who seemed to be playing blindly.

She seemed not to care about points at all, and it was this woman who drew number 10 last round and deliberately coordinated with Lin An to trap him.

It’s very likely she’s using the same trick again, still targeting him.

After all, Ling Sha had said, "If I’m in, you’re out; if you’re in, I’m out."

So it’s highly likely that no matter what number she drew, after seeing that he was number 1, she’d declare herself as number 9 just to mess with him.

"So, ruling out Ling Sha, that leaves Tai Sui, Swamp Crocodile, and that robot, corresponding to numbers 5, 9, and 10."

"Who could be the real number 9?"

The Black Knight looked at Gao Xin, and said, "Tai Sui, how can you prove you’re number 9?"

Gao Xin laughed, "I don’t need to prove anything, I’ll say it again, if you have the guts, pair up with me."

"If you don’t have the guts, then find someone else. I don’t need to pair up and I’ll still get 2 points."

"Do you think with 22 points in my hand, I need to pair up perfectly?"

His words left the Black Knight speechless.

Undoubtedly, Gao Xin was the wealthy tycoon; this pairing phase wasn’t important for him at all.

Now it’s the other players who need to find pairs to score high points, so they can gang up on him, the ’treasure chest’, during the halftime break.

Suddenly, the Black Knight turned to Swamp Crocodile, "Big bro, if you’re number 5, don’t pair up with me."

"What’s the point? Even if we pair up, together we make just six points, that’s too low."

Swamp Crocodile frowned and said, "I really am number 9... if I don’t find you, who should I find?"

Saying so, he directly initiated pairing with the Black Knight.

The Black Knight refused, murmuring to himself, "Stay calm... Stay calm..."

He wasn’t in a hurry in this situation; he just needed to wait until the very end to pair up.

As long as most people have negotiated and completed the pairing up, the liars would eventually abandon him to pair up with others.

Even if he could hold out until the end, adamantly refusing to pair up, then number 10 would also become anxious; perhaps then the three number 9s would find others, and the one left would be the real number 9.

Having realized this, the Black Knight immediately stepped aside.

Swamp Crocodile’s expression darkened: "You accept, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid even if you’re number 1?"

The Black Knight, firm in his decision not to pair up, said, "Stop talking, I won’t pair up this round."

Swamp Crocodile gritted his teeth: "Not pairing up? If you’re number 1 and don’t pair up, you’ll be the last place."

The Black Knight flashed a big white-toothed grin: "Are you so sure that I’m number 1?"

Swamp Crocodile had nothing to say, and, pulling Gao Xin aside into the room, said in a low voice, "Buddy, what’s your game? I know you’re not number 9, why do you keep saying you are?"

Gao Xin simply said, "Every round there must be one with a negative score."
