Chapter 45: Chapter 41: There is only one Sun in the sky! You are the only Sun in my heart!

March 12, the time was the afternoon.

Chen Yun sat on the sofa, scrolling through his phone while waiting for his friend to arrive.

On the table in front of him,

there were some snacks he had once stocked up on.

Not long ago,

he watched the entire chess match of two old men downstairs through Transparent World 2.0, as well as the two additional games they played without regard for mealtime.

The whole process, if nothing else,

revealed the old men’s emotional ups and downs, which he observed with his newly enhanced spiritual power.

This vague sensation of perceiving biological emotions

was indescribably wonderful.

It was unlike inferring someone’s mental state from their micro-expressions and movements; instead, he could feel exactly what emotions they were experiencing at the moment.

It was as if he were peeling back the layers to see what was on their mind.

Of course,

he definitely couldn’t see through their specific thoughts.

But he could still sense general emotions like tension, excitement, or fear.

In front of Chen Yun’s Transparent World 2.0, almost everyone was stripped of their secrets.

The combination of vision, hearing, smell, and spiritual power left little uncovered.

Such ability was interesting.

So interesting that Chen Yun wanted to look at someone’s emotions the moment he met them; this voyeuristic desire was hard for any normal person to resist.

However, after witnessing the emotional rollercoaster of those two old men playing chess, Chen Yun immediately had some ideas about the application of this ability.

Without hesitation, he dialed Bai Shi’s number.

He remembered this bastard, who often boasted in front of him about being the number one gambler in the world, and would have been a famous Gambling King long ago if he hadn’t thought gambling lacked elegance.

Chen Yun had been skeptical then.

He played a few rounds of poker with Bai Shi and the result was...

almost a complete thrashing.

Now, with this Emotion Perception Ability to complement his own calculation skills, Chen Yun’s first reaction was to properly teach Bai Shi, who had been quite arrogant in front of him before, a lesson.

That’s what he thought, and that’s what he did.

Two o’clock in the afternoon.

As Chen Yun was looking at the chatting in the QQ writers’ group, a knock on the door sounded.

Following the sound with Transparent World 2.0, Bai Shi had arrived as scheduled.

However, there was another person standing at his door.

And the person Bai Shi brought...

was a woman.

The woman had a faint scent of shyness, joy, and other emotions about her, and she seemed to glance at Bai Shi now and then.

It seemed she liked Bai Shi but hadn’t spoken out about it.

On her, there were odors of benzaldehyde (almond scent), vanillin (vanilla scent), toluene, ethylbenzene (sweet scent), and 2-ethylhexanol (floral scent), as well as a faint, damp, musty smell.

This was the composite smell of old books.

Clearly, she was a woman who often spent time in bookstores.

Besides that,

she had a fresh and subtle wine fragrance about her.

It smelled quite similar to the type Bai Shi often drank.

So, with just that instant perception,

Chen Yun understood why Bai Shi would be able to hang out with this woman.

Reading books, drinking wine...

They shared common interests.

Presumably, the occasional voice chats that Transparent World had picked up between Bai Shi and a woman in recent days were with her.

Chen Yun arched an eyebrow and inwardly made some snarky comments.

He went to the door and opened it.

"You know, I always think that the more foolish people are, the more they believe they can fool the clever ones."

Bai Shi, carrying a bottle of wine, bowed slightly.

His action was gentlemanly and polite, but the words were laced with that teasing mockery specific to friends.

The meaning was clear: daring to play cards with me again, are you not asking for trouble?

"Don’t act as if it were you who said that; it’s something Emperor Wolf Nagel said. And you already think you’ve won before we even started?"

Chen Yun gave Bai Shi an unimpressed look.

He casually took the wine that Bai Shi brought, then opened the door to let them in.

Bai Shi made himself quite at home and sat on the sofa.

The woman hesitated, standing to one side, and only sat down at the other end of the sofa after Chen Yun gestured.

"So what made you think of asking me to play cards?"

"It’s quite rare; I specially rushed back with a newly acquainted friend to make up the minimum number of players for you."

Bai Shi looked at Chen Yun with curiosity.

He had been in a newly opened bookstore outside, chatting with the proprietress about his favorite books.

But Chen Yun suddenly said he wanted to play cards with him.

Since he had nothing else to do, how could he not satisfy such a masochistic request?

"My hands are itching, craving for a beatdown. Are you up for a game of three-player Fight the Landlord?"

Chen Yun didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

His face wore an expression that was just asking for a punch.

The ultimate control power of his Coordination Control gave his annoying expression an extra vividness.

It was definitely one of those expressions that make you want to punch someone on sight.

But in reality.

If anyone else had the ability to perceive emotions, they would realize that Chen Yun was forcefully suppressing the excitement and anticipation in his heart.

Because his current thought was to look forward to testing the effectiveness of his cheating skills in card playing.

"Alright, alright, alright!"

"Let me show you what’s known as the Emperor and Sun of the poker world!"

Bai Shi picked up the deck of cards on the table in front of the couch and began to deal them skillfully without any flashiness.

There was no fancy shuffling or dealing, just common methods, but they were particularly pleasing to the eye.

His face.

Was brimming with a confident smile.

Chen Yun didn’t even need to use spiritual power to perceive emotions; anyone could see that confidence.

Quickly.

The game began.

Chen Yun didn’t start off by using his spiritual power to discern Bai Shi’s hand, as that would not be the way he wanted to play.

The reason he called Bai Shi over for a card game.

Was indeed to bully him, but the main purpose was to test the practical application of the ability of Emotion Perception using spiritual power.

Having merged his spiritual power with the Transparent World and experienced the ultra-strong Perception Ability by casually watching the old man play three games of chess, he had already had a taste of it.

Now.

He wanted to test out what it felt like to actually apply the ability of Perceiving biological emotions.

Theoretically speaking.

People’s emotions fluctuate during card games due to various situations, just like the two old men playing chess.

If you can perceive these emotional fluctuations.

Then you should be able to assist in card playing to a certain extent.

Understanding the quality of the opponent’s hand and how the attitude towards one’s play changes.

And after experimenting with this approach.

Chen Yun found that playing cards became much easier; the Emotion Perception ability was indeed very useful.

Coupled with his Emotion Perception and his strong calculation ability allowing him to count cards.

After many consecutive games.

The difference from playing with open hands was not much.

He had a very clear understanding of the hands of his opponents.

When it was time to lose, he did it cleanly and decisively.

When he could win, he almost certainly did.

When he was the landlord, he was almost guaranteed to win.

And if he was a peasant, with teammates who weren’t too bad, winning was not difficult.

This made Chen Yun happier as he played.

And more skilled in using the Emotion Perception ability.

Conversely, Bai Shi became more and more bewildered, confused, and disbelieving...

Despite Bai Shi’s face still appearing calm and nonchalant.

But Chen Yun’s Transparent World 2.0 had long seen through the bewilderment in his heart, and even noticed the faint cold sweat on his neck.

"It seems..."

"The Emperor of the poker world is about to fall."

After winning another game as the landlord, Chen Yun calculated his points in his mind and found himself far ahead of the other two.

And facing Chen Yun’s teasing.

Bai Shi pondered for a long time.

Then had to reluctantly admit a fact: it seemed that the Emperor of poker had indeed fallen.

This kid Chen Yun...

Was unexpectedly outrageous.

Bai Shi prided himself on his Fight the Landlord skills, not claiming to be the best in the world, but definitely up there.

But now, without cheating, it seemed he had indeed been thoroughly trounced.

Every move he made...

Appeared to be completely seen through!

Looking at Chen Yun, Bai Shi chose to surrender decisively, saying, "There is no room for two Suns in the sky! In my heart, there’s only room for you!"
