MTL - Card Room-Chapter 548

Chapter 548, the poker labyrinth

Shao Qingge found that he was in a strange space with no one around him. He touched the card holder from his pocket and tried to connect Ye Qi with "Heart and Lingxi", but Ye Qi never responded.

He frowned and looked around.

The ceiling above my head is pure white, and every two meters, there is a soft spotlight; the floor under my feet is black marble, which is as clean as a mirror, reflecting his figure.

The walls on the left and right sides are covered with playing cards. The size of each card is the same as that of playing cards in reality. The very common blue background patterns are all face up.

At the end of the corridor was a white wall blocking the way.

Shao Qingge soon realized that this was probably a "poker maze".

At this moment, a reminder suddenly popped up in the floating box in front of you--

Welcome to the third ring of the relay mission, the poker maze

Please find the correct exit within 1 hour, otherwise, the relay mission will be judged as a failure

The third ring of the relay mission? Since it is the third ring, there must be "first ring" and "second ring" in front of him. He cannot contact Yeqi, which means that Yeqi and him are not in the same world. Maybe Xiaoye was assigned to the first or second ring. , The task has been completed.

The key to the relay race is-any error in any link will result in a loss.

How many teammates are there in the vast maze?

Shao Qingge was lowering his head in deep thought. There were four cards on the surrounding walls that suddenly flipped over, and they gave out a soft light-they were hearts k, spades k, square k and club k.

He was startled, staring thoughtfully at the four cards.

Is it an agency?

It seems that in order to answer his doubts, a supplementary note quickly popped up in the floating box, "In the poker maze, you need to collect a total of 54 playing cards within a limited hour. Each corridor can only collect one card. Taking a playing card will open a corresponding maze channel. Different suits may encounter different rewards or punishments. Please choose carefully."

Shao Qingge read the reminder carefully-that is to say, the door at the end of the corridor is currently closed. There should be four forks in this road. He took the **** k, heart k, and square k on the wall. With any of the club k, you can open a corresponding fork. After reaching the next road, take another card and continue to open the road...

Since you can only take one at a time, it means that only one fork can be opened at a time.

The path of the labyrinth encountered before is clear. This time the maze is full of "fog" everywhere. All paths need to be opened by collecting cards. The four suits correspond to the four paths. If you make a mistake, you have to go back and start again. The difficulty is compared with the previous maze. It is not an order of magnitude!

The countdown has appeared in the floating frame, Shao Qingge took a deep breath, took a quick step forward, and picked up the square k.

He didn't dare to take spades or clubs, because he was afraid that opening the spades and clubs would encounter an existential crisis.

Since it is a maze, it is more reliable to take the square first. As his slender fingers took the lower k from the card wall, the door at the end of the corridor was opened, and a passage was revealed.

Shao Qingge entered the passage without hesitation.

The appearance of this channel looks the same as before, except that the cards lit up on the wall have become square 7, square 8, square 9, and square 10. Shao Qingge is worried that the card points will be equal. The difficulty is related, so the smallest square piece 7 is selected first.

Sure enough, another door opened at the end of the road, and Shao Qingge continued to walk forward.

The moment he just walked through the door, his feet were suddenly empty, and the whole person fell quickly!

The weightlessness of free fall made Shao Qingge's heart suddenly tighten.

The vertical passage is like an elevator shaft with no light. You can't see what's under your feet at all. If it's an arrow, isn't he finished? Even if there is no mechanism under his feet, falling from this height is enough to make him fall into mud!

In just a few seconds, Shao Qingge's brain moved quickly. There was no light card on his body, and the teleport card could only be teleported horizontally. Other cards such as big money, wealthy waywardness, stock curves, ATM machines, etc. The cards are really useless at this time.

Shao Qingge did not hesitate to open the Insect King Transformation!

Otherwise, it would be too wrong to be thrown to death.

In the darkness, the man's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and the changes in his body made him feel at ease. Shao Qingge quickly stretched out his hand, nailing his sharp nails to the wall like nails.

What surprised him, however, was that the moment his nails hit the wall, they broke all at once!

Insect King’s nails can easily pierce steel, and this wall is made of hard and smooth. His limbs simply cannot work on such a wall. Could it be that this is telling him that the walls of the poker maze cannot be destroyed by any means?

Shao Qingge retracted his hand, and the broken nails regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fall continued, and he could not die anyway, Shao Qingge calmly observed the surroundings.

The night vision of the Zerg will be strengthened. He found this vertical dark passage similar to the "patio" with many doors around. Because the speed of the fall was too fast, he did not count the specific number of the doors, but he could judge-this The poker maze I encountered this time was a very large three-dimensional maze, like a tower of poker.

Just thinking of this, his feet touched the cold floor tiles, and Shao Qingge landed firmly on the ground.

Fortunately, he became the insect king in time, otherwise, he would fall into a meatloaf if he fell from such a high place.

After landing, Shao Qingge saw a door in front of him slowly open, he took a deep breath and walked into the door.

The dazzling light made Shao Qingge squinted slightly. He walked a few steps forward and saw a corridor of cards exactly the same as before. At this moment, there was a sound of something landing behind him, and a very light sound. Footsteps. Shao Qingge turned back immediately and met a pair of familiar eyes.

It is the old man.

The senior who wore a Tang suit, although his hair was gray, looked very energetic. After discovering Shao Qingge, he was taken aback and calmed down quickly, and asked, "Mr. Shao, which stock has the better rise recently? "

This is the secret code agreed upon before entering the secret room.

Shao Qingge said with a smile, "180376521, you can pay attention to this stock. Do seniors like to drink tea? I have good Zhuyeqing in my family, and I will have a drink later."

Gui Yuan Zhang said, "I prefer West Lake Longjing."

Shao Qingge "..."

This kind of underground party-like counter-signing method sounds a bit embarrassing. However, it doesn't hurt to be careful, at least he can be sure that the old man in front of him is undoubtedly himself.

Shao Qingge stepped forward and said, "Senior is also the third ring of the relay mission? We are in a group."

Gui Yuanzhang nodded, "Well, that's what the prompt says. Others are likely to be in the first or second ring. We are assigned to the third ring. I wonder if there are any other teammates?"

Shao Qingge said with emotion, "This maze is very difficult. If only Lao Mo or Professor Xiao were there."

Gui Yuanzhang is not very good at Maze either. He took out a playing card and said, "I took the square piece 7, and it suddenly fell down."

Shao Qingge said, "I also fell here after getting Square Piece 7."

Gui Yuanzhang frowned and thought for a while, saying, "That is to say, each card represents a channel. There are 54 channels in this maze, and each channel will randomly appear collectable playing cards and get the corresponding card. Can we go to the corresponding channel?" He paused and looked back at Shao Qingge. "The task requires us to gather 54 cards. Should we move separately or go together?"

Separate collection will naturally be more efficient, but there is also a problem. In case of separation, it will be more difficult to converge in such a large three-dimensional maze. Besides, there may be various potential dangers.

Shao Qingge said, "Let's do it together, so if you encounter danger, you can take care of it."

Gui Lao glanced at the number 59:12 displayed on the countdown, and there were 59 minutes left. An average of 1 minute to collect one card would be enough to collect 54 cards. He just didn't know where the correct exit was. He said, "Well, let's hurry up."

The two walked into the passage covered with playing cards on the wall.

The cards turned over from this channel are 3 clubs, 3 squares, 3 spades, and 3 hearts.

Shao Qingge was puzzled-why some channels have the same suit and different points, while some have the same point and different suits? Is there any difference between the two?

He looked at Guilao and said, "Continue to take the square film?"

Gui Lao also agrees with "Well, first collect poker of the same suit, so it's easier to remember."

At present, Shao Qingge has a square k and a square 7 in his hand. Guilao started with a square 7 and the task requirement "collect 54 cards" must not be repeated, so Guilao took this one. The cards are not counted in the collection.

Shao Qingge stepped forward and took the lower piece 3 from the wall.

Sure enough, another door appeared at the end of the corridor. Shao Qingge walked over and found a section of stairs curving upward to the left.

This step is very long, as if it has no end, and I don't know how high it is.

Shao Qingge walked and analyzed, "I took the square k at the beginning, and suddenly fell when I got the square 7, but I had to go up when I got the square 3. It seems that the number of poker cards does not mean The height of the passage?"

Shao Qingge nodded. "Suppose this time the maze is a tall building. If you get square piece 2 and fall to the second floor, square piece 3 is on the third floor. That's too simple. The playing cards must be randomly scattered on different floors. , It’s a pity that we don’t see a pattern yet."

The two were not in a hurry. After all, there were 54 playing cards, and they only took 3 of them. It was normal to see no pattern.

This spiral staircase is very long. In order to save time, Gui Yuanzhang simply took out his writing brush and said, “It’s too slow to climb this way, just fly.” He used the writing brush to stimulate the airflow, forming a whirlwind under his feet. It floated in the air like stepping on a magic broom, and flew up with Shao Qingge.

After about half a minute, the spiral staircase finally came to an end, and a door appeared in front of him.

When the two entered the passage, they saw four cards, square 2, square 6, square 4, and square 8.

Currently, he has k, 7, and 3 in his hand, and Shao Qingge took the square piece 2 and continued to move forward. , The spiral staircase appeared again at the door, but this time the spiral staircase was to the right, and the number of steps was obviously much smaller than before. It only took less than 5 seconds to get to the next passage.

In the next channel, there are 8 squares, 8 spades, 8 clubs, and 8 hearts.

Shao Qingge took the lower piece 8, and after a passage appeared at the door, the two continued to move forward. As a result, their feet slammed into the air. Gui Yuanzhang and Shao Qingge fell down quickly at the same time!

Shao Qingge had a splitting headache, "What is going on with this up and down?!"

Laogui has a brush, and Shao Qingge turns into the insect king, not afraid of falling to death. It's just that, after a while climbing a long step, and then suddenly falling, the two people have only collected 5 cards now, and they have been confused by this maze.

Gui Yuanzhang calmly said, "We have to draw a map."

Shao Qingge solemnly said, "My sense of direction is not very good, and I don't remember the winding path just now. I only know that after taking square piece 7 and square piece 8, they all stepped on the air and fell suddenly."

Gui Yuan Zhang "...Me too."

The two looked at each other.

I don’t even understand the plane maze. Put them in the three-dimensional maze. Isn’t that kidding?

Shao Qingge held his temples with a headache, "Let's go in and see."

The two opened the door and walked into the poker corridor of Fang Pian 8. As a result, as soon as they entered, they saw a person sitting on the ground, holding a handkerchief-sized white cloth in his left hand, and writing and drawing pictures on it with the index finger of his right hand, looking serious. , Obviously lost in thought.

Shao Qingge's lips raised, "Lao Mo, you are here too!"

The first time Lao Mo heard, when Mr. Shao called him, his tone revealed a strong... surprise?
