I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms-Chapter 360 - 331: "Like I said, I am also a magician."_2
"Or rather, from the first level to this eleventh level, this level might be the most important one."
"The mental prowess and combat experience you mentioned can be acquired later, but only luck is innate and unchangeable."
"Hm?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Hungry Monkey’s eyes as he looked at the dealer next to him. He had originally thought the dealer was just an NPC. There are NPCs in the secret realms as well, as the first secret realm they visited had NPCs.
He just didn’t expect this NPC to be so intelligent, even answering his questions.
And it was even initiating conversation.
"Are you an NPC or a player?"
He directly asked, not hiding his curiosity.
"Time is running out, please both of you return to your seats quickly."
The dealer did not answer, but simply spoke in a deflective manner.
"Hungry Monkey."

Chen Miao glanced at his watch and then turned to speak softly to Hungry Monkey, "Try to stall as much as possible later, don’t open your cards. Wait until the timer reaches 00:01 before you open them."
Hungry Monkey was slightly startled and, subconsciously, he too glanced at his watch; it was 23:51. Then something suddenly occurred to him, and he grinned: "Miao, I got it, don’t worry."
After that, he glanced at the dealer who was looking at them and said with a smile, "My luck has always been good."
"It’s you guys who eliminate so many people at every level, aren’t you afraid that eventually no one will make it through at the end?"
The dealer did not get angry but instead bowed politely with both hands and said, "You flatter us, so far no one has completely finished the thirteen levels of this secret realm."
"It is normal not to complete it, completing it is the exception."
"..."
Chen Miao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, not saying much. He was certain this secret realm was appearing on Blue Star for the first time, and the dealer’s use of the term ’so far’ suggested the realm had been opened many times already.
If it wasn’t on Blue Star, then it must have been on other planets.
Is it that every civilization that wins in the war of civilizations opens such a secret realm?
He wondered how many times it had been opened, considering no one had ever completed it.
His eyes gradually narrowed, so far, he hadn’t felt any great pressure from these dozen or so levels. Does this mean the difficulty will soar in the upcoming twelfth and thirteenth levels?
...
Chen Miao didn’t think any further but walked straight to the seat with his name on it.
His opponent had already taken a seat.
As soon as he sat down, the dealer began dealing cards with a professional smile, wearing a cheongsam, holding a push-rod, and pushing six cards each to Chen Miao and the other opponent after six tries.
"Players may spend ten thousand Star Coins to randomly exchange one poker card."
"After revealing the cards, no exchange will be allowed," the dealer announced the rules with a smile.
"..."
Chen Miao didn’t say anything but lit a cigarette and sent it to his lips, exhaling a long puff of smoke before casually picking up three cards to look at them.
They were——
"Spade King, Club Eight, Diamond Seven."
A terrible hand.
With the King as the highest card, any pair or straight flush could easily beat him.
In such circumstances, the highest value move is to exchange cards, swapping out the Spade King. Whether it’s a nine or a six, either could form a straight, creating a relatively high hand.
It might only cost ten thousand Star Coins, or it might need several hundred thousand.
But if one isn’t concerned about value for money, just aiming for the largest hand possible.
Then one might consider.
A royal flush formed with the Spade King, or a trio of Kings, would definitely be larger than 789, but it would also cost more Star Coins, potentially spending millions to create such a hand.
Don’t think Chen Miao’s pocket carries over a billion Star Coins.
But here, not many would have several million in their pockets.
Don’t think they’re all high-level Supernaturals who earn Star Coins much faster than others. They earn quick but spend even quicker. To maintain high Combat Power, they need to spend Star Coins. The primary use of Star Coins is to improve Combat Power, just hoarding them without spending is like becoming someone else’s bank.
Others earn Star Coins to improve their Combat Power.
You earn Star Coins but hoard and don’t spend.
Then your Star Coins are just savings for someone else’s purchase.
"Change!"
Chen Miao’s opponent, clearly not looking too pleased, pushed one of his cards towards the dealer and took the new card passed to him.
But obviously, he didn’t seem too happy with this new card either.
"Change, change, change again!"
In less than a minute, he’d already spent seventy or eighty thousand Star Coins like water.
"Old man,"
Leaning back in his chair, Chen Miao casually placed his three cards at the edge of the table, flicked off some ash with ease, and spoke nonchalantly, "Stop changing, save yourself some Star Coins. You can’t win."
"My cards are so good, no matter what card you draw, you can’t beat me."
"Don’t trouble yourself."
"We’re already opponents; surely you don’t still think you can win?"
"I made it!!!"
Just then——
This middle-aged man took the card the dealer passed to him, his face suddenly filled with immense joy as he almost jumped up, "I did it, I really did it, hahaha!!!"
"Chen Miao, you might be a little too confident. Strength-wise I’m not your equal,"
"But luck-wise, can you be sure you’ll beat me?"
"Even if you have a mighty trio of Aces in hand, aren’t you worried I might have a 2-3-5? The 2-3-5 is a hand designed to beat trips!"
Your next chapter is on novelbuddy
"Are you so sure I don’t have a 2-3-5 in hand?"
"..."
Chen Miao sighed lightly without speaking. He wasn’t planning on saying anything more, but when he heard the dealer asking both parties to reveal their cards, he slowly closed his eyes, "I’ll think about it a bit more, see if I want to change a card."
