Chapter 643 The Rules of the Synodic Moon
At this moment, the words Dihou said before opening the cards echoed in Qi Xia's ears.
He said that among more than thirty cards, only one could win him.
And that card is "End of Heat".
This shows that "Chushu" is special, or it is special in this round of cards.
But what is so unique about this "Chushu" card that this feature cannot be seen in more than thirty other cards?
"No...the idea still has limitations..." Qi Xia looked at the scattered cards on the table. At this time, the monkey was collecting the cards one by one.
There is a possibility that other cards that are deadly enough have already appeared on the card table, so it is not that there is anything special about "Chushu", but that "Chushu" is the only one that has not appeared and can beat the Earth Monkey. of cards.
He quickly recalled the cards that Earth Monkey could see at that time.
The first thing he can see is the public card "Zhongyuan" in the center of the table, followed by the "Summer Solstice" and "Dragon Boat Festival" in his own hand.
Then there are everyone’s best cards, Zheng Yingxiong’s “Frost Descent”, Tiantian’s “Heavy Snow”, Xiao Cheng’s “Qingming”, Chen Junnan’s “Beginning of Spring”, Qiao Jiajin’s “Great Heat”, and his own “Qixi Festival”.
Qi Xia felt that her mind was still a little confused, and it seemed that she was missing an important clue.
He squinted his eyes and recalled all the cards in his mind. At this time, the many cards turned into groups of numbers in his mind.
"Ah..." Qi Xia slowly opened his mouth, and sure enough, there was a tiny clue that he almost forgot.
When Dihou said this, Qiao Jiajin revealed his "hidden card".
So is there a possibility... that the earth monkey only came up with this idea when he saw Qiao Jiajin's "hidden card" "The Beginning of Autumn"?
"That is to say, "The Beginning of Autumn" is also one of the cards that can help me win..." Qi Xia slowly closed his eyes and muttered silently in his heart, ""The Beginning of Autumn"..."The End of Summer"..."
What do these two cards have in common? Why can you let yourself win?
In just a few seconds, Qi Xia opened her eyes, and the clues in her mind gradually became clear like a circuit that was suddenly connected.
The "beginning of autumn" this year should be "the eighth day of July".
And "end of heat" is "July 23".
These two cards are the only two "July" cards left besides the "Qixi" in his hand and the "Zhongyuan" in the center of the table.
Except for these two cards, there are no other "solar terms" or "festivals" on the cards that come from July, so when Qiao Jiajin shows "Beginning of Autumn", the Earth Monkey will obviously think that the same kind of cards Only one left.
But just now Qi Xia has deduced that this game has nothing to do with "month". After all, the earth monkey holds a card from May and dares to bet against the July card in his hand, so the key point will be Where?
"The key point is not "July", but the number "seven"..."
Qiao Jiajin watched Qi Xia deep in thought and waited patiently for a while until Qi Xia's expression completely softened before asking: "Liar, do you know the rules?"
Qi Xia turned his head, thought for a few seconds and said: "Earth Monkey's "Four Fives" lost to my "Four Sevens"."
"What...?" Qiao Jiajin was stunned, "Texas Hold'em? Four of a kind?"
"I don't understand Texas Hold'em...what are the specific rules?" Qi Xia asked.
"It's very troublesome to explain... In short..." Qiao Jiajin was suddenly startled mid-sentence, "Hey! Liar! This rule is really like Texas Hold'em!"
"Oh? Is it similar?"
"I can only say that the form is a bit similar..." Qiao Jiajin scratched his head and recalled, "but the players have more cards than us, and there are more community cards in the center of the table than us. If you say "four sevens" can If you beat "Four Fives", this rule is more like Texas Hold'em. This is a very big card among them. It is called "Four of Fives". It means that there are four identical numbers, but when two people have four When the numbers are the same, the winner will be determined by whose number is greater.”
"That's it." Qi Xia nodded. He had never participated in a gambling game, so naturally he didn't know the rules of this kind of poker.
"So do you think this game is just Texas Hold'em poker?" Qiao Jiajin also showed a thoughtful look, "It just uses numbers to make up various combinations to compare with the opponent. Generally speaking, it is somewhat similar to the rules of mahjong. As long as you can make up a fixed combination, you can win the game, such as "straight", "four of a kind", "three of a kind", etc. "
"It's not that simple..." Qi Xia shook his head, "Just because I won this round, I can only infer this rule, but it should be quite different from the Texas Hold'em you mentioned."
After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin slowly moved his head over and asked in a low voice: "What's the difference?"
"If we convert each of our cards into a number card, theoretically we will get several numbers when we get each card." Qi Xia said, "If it is the "Great Cold", judging from the lunar calendar, it will be " "December 23rd", converted into cards, there are four cards, namely "one", "two", "two" and "three". Do you understand the problem?"
"I don't understand." Qiao Jiajin replied decisively.
"The number of cards in each person's hand will be very different." Qi Xia said, "For example, "Dragon Boat Festival" is "the fifth day of May". When converted into digital cards, it is just "five" and "five". Both people have the same number. I got a "Syrozoic Moon", but "Big Cold" is equivalent to getting four cards at once, but "Dragon Boat Festival" is only two. This change will cause the number of numbers that each person can use to be different when we finally draw the cards. Yes, some people have a lot of numbers in their hands and can combine them into various cards to compare with each other, but some people can't."
"I seem to understand a little bit..." Qiao Jiajin said while thinking, "Liar, so the bigger the month, the bigger the cards. This statement is correct in some ways."
Qi Xia also nodded after hearing this. Just now, the monkey was questioning why Chen Junnan wanted to bet with a "Beginning of Spring" card. It was precisely because "Beginning of Spring" only had two numbers, "one" and "six". There was no way around these two numbers. The possibility of forming a "pair" or even a "straight" is very small.
"Fist... now I need to know..." Qi Xia turned his head and looked at Qiao Jiajin, "In this Texas Hold'em poker rules, what is the biggest combination of cards?"
Qiao Jiajin thought for a while and said: "This seems to be what I feel a little confused about... It is also the biggest difference between this deck of cards and ordinary Texas Hold'em poker..."
"Oh? What is it?"
"It's a Royal Flush."
