Li Ruoshu had no cards left in her hand; by discarding two real cards, she was in an unbeatable position.
"You played three Kings earlier, and now two more? Big sis, do you even have them?"
Li Ruopu couldn't help but speak up.
"If you don't believe me, you can expose me," Li Ruoshu said with a half-smile.
"......"
Li Ruopu frowned, muttering a few words, clearly unsure, then discarded another card, "I'm not exposing; I'm playing a King."
Li Yunque followed with another card.
Li Ruoshu had no cards left, so she skipped her turn.
Li Ruopu still didn't choose to question her, but played another card.
At this moment, both he and Li Yunque had only two cards left in their hands, and 11 cards had already been played on the table.
11 cards, surely all the Kings were gone by now?
Li Yunque glanced over, smiling confidently, "You little brat, you definitely don't have any real cards left in your hand; you've played at most two of them. I'm calling your bluff."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The system automatically revealed the cards.
The result appeared: it truly was a King.
Li Yunque was instantly dumbfounded.
Li Ruopu laughed heartily, "Old man, didn't expect that, did you? My first two were fakes; this one's the real deal!"
Li Yunque immediately bristled with anger, not expecting to be outsmarted by his own boy.
Under the mandatory enforcement of the rules, he could only pick up the revolver in his hand and point it at his own head.
"Empty, empty, empty..."
Click.
The revolver made a crisp sound.
Li Yunque chuckled, "As expected, good fortune favors me, I'm fine, I'm fine."
At this moment.
Even an old man like him felt a change in his adrenaline.
Not to mention those young people.
"Interesting, interesting."
"I have to say, Lord Chen's design is truly worth savoring. If it just ended immediately, the game wouldn't feel as fun. It's precisely this feeling of walking on a tightrope that makes it easier to stir people's emotions."
Li Yunque couldn't help but praise it.
The Liar game continued for several more rounds.
The three, who thought they had figured out each other's psychology, began to engage in a battle of wits.
Using eye contact and language to deceive opponents.
Li Yunque was truly blessed by the Goddess of Fortune; he didn't get shot for five consecutive rounds. Unfortunately, his mind had already been figured out by the siblings, and he went offline after six consecutive losses.
Li Ruopu strategized carefully, advancing step by step.
However, fate was not on his side; the first shot fired.
Game over.
The four sat back at the table again.
Li Yunque savored the feeling he had just experienced, full of praise.
"It's indeed a very interesting Happy Chess and Cards game. The most crucial part is the Russian Roulette setting. Every time you survive a close call, it brings a large amount of emotional fluctuation."
"Indeed, if this were released, it would have no problem standing out among those other works," Li Ruopu also marveled.
"It should be able to qualify in two months," Li Yunque nodded, predicting.
Only a few months remained.
The first wave of works took two months, which was a bit long, but it seemed quite good so far.
"Two months?"
Chen Yu frowned, "Why would it take so long?"
He was quite confident in Liar Tavern; in terms of provoking people's emotions, Liar Tavern did a pretty good job.
Li Yunque and Li Ruopu exchanged glances.
Li Ruopu could only speak helplessly, "If you really want to know the reason, it's actually because of you!
At this stage, with Happy Chess and Cards and Resident Evil, the Adventurers in Tidal Town rarely pay attention to the Adventurer's Guild's recommendation slots anymore.
At least not as much as before.
Before, everyone had no choice but to eat dirt and smile while doing it. Now that Great Xia Nevernight City is here, even the minimum daily income can fill their stomachs. Who would still be willing to clear mines on the recommendation list?"
At the current price of happy coins.
Even if they were lazy and didn't want to play in the Dungeon, Adventurers could choose to exchange all their daily attempts for happy coins and trade with rich guys.
If their food requirements weren't high, it was completely fine to support themselves, and they could even have a surplus.
Coupled with the extremely high output of Great Xia Nevernight City and the good quality of food, it could be said that with Chen Yu, it wouldn't take long for all of Tidal Town to escape poverty and reach a comfortable standard of living.
Under these circumstances, Li Ruopu couldn't think of anyone who would still bother with things like the recommendation list, except for those rich guys who weren't short on money and enjoyed novelty.
"In other words... because I'm too strong, I've hindered the development of this line."
The popularity of Resident Evil would likely last for a long time. During this period, it would indeed be difficult for new Dungeons on the recommendation list to stand out.
"However, the quality of Liar Tavern is definitely worth affirming. Perhaps it might only take a month to qualify, it's hard to say," Li Yunque said.
"Actually, the biggest problem isn't the quality. If the quality is excellent, there's still a chance for it to rise."
Li Ruoshu added, "The biggest problem should be that this game is too fast. From entering and learning to the game ending, Adventurers might have just gotten the hang of it, and they're already outside."
This was indeed a problem.
To avoid this problem, Chen Yu had spent several hours playing Landlord with Li Ruopu and Bai Feifei in Happy Chess and Cards.
But Liar Tavern clearly couldn't be handled this way; the more times it was played, the more easily interest would wane.
And because it wasn't a multi-player, same-screen type, there was no way to place NPCs or companions to play with.
The game time being too short was a problem, and game exposure was also a problem.
If these two problems weren't solved, this Dungeon wouldn't be able to break out of the recommendation list.
Li Ruopu wouldn't have the chance to run for president, and then the Adventurer's Guild might be controlled by others.
Chen Yu's fingers gently tapped the table.
He fell into deep thought.
After a moment of contemplation.
Chen Yu smiled, "Actually, it's simple. If it's too expensive as a paid game, then why not make it free?"
"Huh?"
"Free..."
As soon as these words came out, the other three were stunned.
"Lord Chen, are you going to follow the Resident Evil model and use happy coins as entry materials?" Li Yunque hesitated, "But if that's the case, the system probably won't approve it."
Using happy coins as entry materials was essentially engaging in a price war.
Other lords' one attempt could only be played once.
Here with Lord Chen, one attempt could be played several times.
Under the dual advantages of price and quality, it would be difficult for the Dungeon not to become popular.
Even if a game of Liar Tavern was relatively short, perhaps ending in ten minutes or even less than a few minutes, it couldn't stop it from quickly getting people hooked and being cheap.
However.
If happy coins were used, it would imply to Adventurers that this Dungeon was produced by Great Xia Nevernight City, and the system definitely wouldn't approve it.
"No happy coins."
Chen Yu's words once again surprised them, "Completely free, not a single happy coin will be charged."
Li Ruoshu frowned and blurted out, "Then we won't have any income, will we? That won't do. We're not making Dungeons to do charity for Adventurers!"
As if sensing the air grow quiet.
Li Ruoshu looked up and found Li Yunque and Li Ruopu looking at her with strange expressions.
"What kind of look is that?"
"......Nothing."
Li Ruopu touched his nose, not daring to speak.
Being a Contract Adventurer really changes one's position and thoughts, huh?
