Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 465: Chapter 463 Pyramid [First Update]

Arrived at the entertainment room.

Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng had not yet spoken.

However, their subordinates had already ’clashed’.

Liang Lan skillfully took out a box of cigars specially prepared for Lin Feng, clipped the end with a cigar cutter, lit a specialized match, put the cigar tip in the flame, and slowly rotated the cigar.

Until the head of the cigar had turned black, with the edges displaying a ring of gray-white, the inner side showing a circle of ignited ember, and a little blue smoke gently emerging, did Liang Lan hand the cigar to Lin Feng.

This wasn’t service, it was a display of status.

It implied that Young Master Bu was the host here, so the guests should please go first!

A silent declaration of war.

The Young Master slightly won this round, so they couldn’t fall behind.

Lin Feng’s housekeeper saw.

Hey, are you getting excited!

Thinking my professionalism as a housekeeper doesn’t exist!

Don’t forget, this ship used to be Lin Feng’s, he is too familiar with this place!

Bright Sword? Then I’ll follow suit!

Since you’ve lit a cigar, I’ll pour the drinks.

He moved elegantly and stepped up to the liquor cabinet...

Looking up...

Uh... beer?!

The housekeeper’s mouth twitched!

Why is there only beer here?!

He thought about it and opened the cupboard below the liquor cabinet!

Uh... baijiu (sorghum liquor)?!

The housekeeper was completely frustrated.

Why are these the only drinks here?!

What’s going on here?!

Pairing cigars with beer or baijiu?

Is there such a precedent in this world?

The delicate aroma of the cigars would be completely overwhelmed by these two types of alcohol!

But, he wasn’t weak, if the ship didn’t have it, they brought their own.

He went to the previously prepared supply storage, took out the wine and glasses, returned to the entertainment room, and elegantly poured for the two young masters.

It’s a draw again!

Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng didn’t pay attention to their subordinates’ skirmish, their focus was on the gambling table!

”Play a couple of rounds?”

Lin Feng’s desire to win was exceptionally strong in such a gambling environment!

”Depend on luck, doesn’t sound very fun.”

Lu Xiaobu said, picking up a sealed deck of cards and starting to unwrap it.

”That’s true, how do you want to play then?”

Lin Feng agreed.

At their level, merely depending on luck really meant there was nothing else to compare.

”I’m too lazy to play, but I know if I don’t, you’ll try to make me play.”

Lu Xiaobu spread out the cards one by one as he spoke.

”Nonsense.”

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and took a puff of the cigar.

”So, let’s play something that doesn’t rely on luck.”

Lu Xiaobu picked up two cards, set them up in an A-shaped triangle, and placed it on the gambling table.

Then he set up another next to it.

After that, he placed a playing card on top.

Finally, he set up another triangle on top.

A small card pyramid was completed.

You all should have played this before.

Lin Feng watched Lu Xiaobu’s moves, staying silent, just quietly observing, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to speak.

When his opponent was Lu Xiaobu, he was extremely patient.

Because, with a little carelessness, he could be tricked by Lu Xiaobu.

This feeling of treading on thin ice was thrilling!

”We’ll compete in this: stacking a pyramid of cards. In half an hour, whoever builds the taller pyramid wins!” Lu Xiaobu laughed.

”Continue.”

Lin Feng signaled.

He knew the rules were definitely not that simple.

At the same time, he also picked up an unopened deck of cards and, like Lu Xiaobu, started to build a pyramid!

”Of course, just stacking would be too boring. You have six people, and I have six people. Since you dared to bring them here, you must be very confident in them. So, they can move freely, either protect our own or sabotage the opponents. Everything depends on them, how about that?”

Lu Xiaobu finished explaining the rules.

”I have no problem with that.”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and agreed.

As Lu Xiaobu said, if he dared bring these six people, he was confident in them!

”Good, let’s start then.”

Lu Xiaobu knocked down the small pyramid in front of him.

Lin Feng did the same.

Since it was a competition, there had to be a fair start.

And Liang Lan, Zhang Meng, and their group’s eyes instantly blazed with fighting spirit.

Lin Feng’s six people felt the same!

Even before the rules were set, they had already been competing with each other.

Now with the rules set and still being the main force, they were even more fired up!

Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu started.

The first layer.

The second layer.

The third layer.

Neither side was fast.

They even had time to clink cups and take a few sips.

Because they knew that their speed wasn’t the most important.

These card pyramids could be blown over by a breeze, and the higher it got, the easier it toppled!

So, the real victory hinged on their subordinates!

It depended on whether they could protect well or attack fiercely!

And another key point was the strength of the attack.

Too small, no effect.

Too large, it might even affect their master’s own pyramid.

This truly tested teamwork, control, mindset, and various other aspects.

Liang Lan and their group of six gathered together for a meeting.

”I’ll handle the offense,” Li Jin volunteered. ”I can perform long-range attacks, which makes it easier to attack.”

”No, you can’t be the main attacker,” Liang Lan countered directly. ”Your so-called long-range attack looks good, but it’s really not effective. For a card pyramid, blowing a breath and bombing with a missile have the same effect!”

Hearing Liang Lan’s words, Li Jin immediately realized his mistake and nodded, ”I thought too simply.”

”Our advantage is not actually in Zhang Meng or Li Jin, because they’ll definitely know about you and will guard against you!”

Liang Lan’s Divine Thought sparked as she analyzed and spoke: ”So, our victory actually lies in Qianmin, Luo Xue, and Jingyuan!”

Hearing her analysis, everyone frowned slightly, but no one objected.

”You may find it incredible, but have you observed? The three women Lin Feng brought are all not his women. They seem more like servants, with a restrained demeanor. I’m convinced this is a breakthrough point.”

Liang Lan continued speaking.

Hearing Liang Lan’s words, a few people immediately turned to look at those three women.

Indeed, just as Liang Lan claimed, the three women seemed normal at first glance, but a hint of restraint occasionally flashed in their eyes.

Clearly, they were not accustomed to such high-stakes confrontations.

”Okay, stop looking, be careful not to expose yourselves.”

Liang Lan quickly stopped them, then lowered her voice even further: ”We should do this...”

While they were having their meeting, Lin Feng’s housekeeper was also holding a meeting.

Oh, right, the housekeeper’s last name is Jia, so from now on, we’ll refer to him as Housekeeper Jia.

Finally.

While Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng slowly reached the fifth or sixth layer.

At this moment, ten minutes of the agreed half-hour had already passed, leaving only two-thirds of the time left!

Both sides had almost finished their discussions at the same time.

Twelve people, twenty-four gazes clashing together, created a severe explosion!

The battle was on the verge of erupting!
