Chapter 236: The Source of the Perfect Shuffling Method

Denise was unconvinced when she heard what E.P. had said. She thought that once a smart person knew these gamblers’ methods, he would understand them,
However, after listening for a while, she realized that she really couldn’t understand it. Even if she knew what outcomes could be achieved with the method, she still couldn’t see any flaws when E.P. demonstrated it. As for No, 12, he didn’t care to learn these things at all. One was that he didn’t like to gamble and the other reason was that he was an aboveboard person who who openly execute a person. He belonged to the kind of person who would run to you and inform you that he wanted to kill you even if he received an assassination mission.
No.12 was such a person who cared about ritual. It was also because of his ritual that many prisoners felt that he was very elegant. Therefore, No.12 was promoted from a prison guard guarding the door to an exclusive prison guard in Building No. 1.
Yue Xin looked at E.P.’s technique for a while and began to imitate it. Although her imitation was not as perfect as E.P’s, she still managed to replicate it.
Seeing that Yue Xin had replicated his shuffling method in an extremely short period of time, E.P. continued, “This is the perfect shuffling method I usually use. This kind of shuffling won’t change the position of the top and bottom cards. Moreover, after repeating it eight times, you can return the cards to their original state. However, many people know this method, so they will pay attention and not let the dealer shuffle eight times. However, as long as you can remember the initial order of the cards and remember how many times you shuffle the cards, you can deduce the order of the cards. This shouldn’t be difficult for you.”
Yue Xin nodded and began to memorize the cards, shuffle them, and check them.
At this moment, Denise completely felt that she was unnecessary here. Originally, she thought that the so-called gambler cheating was as simple and crude as directly telling E.P. cards, but in the end, she actually had to use her brain! Her beautiful brain could not harbor these things. It was precisely because Denise knew the difficulty of this matter that she admired Yue Xin for the first time. She thought that Yue Xin was just lucky to have a knight like No.12, but now it seemed that this was not the case. Yue Xin was a very powerful person.
No.12 looked at the bow tied around Yue Xin’s neck and felt very conflicted.
This bow was different from the one Maya used to wear. He was used to seeing Yue Xin dressed like Maya, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in. He really wanted to help Yue Xin tie the bow again. He wanted to, but he didn’t dare to.
After a while, Yue Xin completely mastered the method and algorithm of the perfect shuffling method, but she was still very puzzled. “Why do I have to learn these?”
When E.P. heard Yue Xin’s words, he sneered. “If you can’t even see through such a small trick, it’s impossible for you to win.”
Yue Xin was still very puzzled. “But aren’t I here to learn the human heart? I’m not here to learn gambling.”
When E.P. heard this, he slapped his thigh. “Too narrow! If you want to learn from people’s hearts, you have to go to the gambling table. There are people’s hearts everywhere. Greed, selfishness, jealousy, desire, laziness, pushing your luck, seeking benefits and avoiding harm. You can see it all. If you know the method, you can observe people’s hearts by controlling winning and losing. How good is that! Speaking of which, you’re too straightforward. You have to change this. How can an adult speak directly? It’s too torturous.”
When Yue Xin heard E.P. mutter to himself, she nodded in agreement. “Yi
Chengxuan said the same thing. Then I’ll leave it to you, Master.”
After spending an entire day, Yue Xin finally succeeded in becoming a disciple. Every morning after that, Yue Xin had to go to Building No. 8 to learn the basics from E.P., such as the gameplay of various games, the method of cheating, the method of remembering cards, and so on. In the afternoon and evening, when there were many gamblers in Building No. 8, Yue Xin would head to the gambling table to practice.
Just as E.P. had said, the gambling table was indeed a good place to observe people. For example, what people looked like when they fell into despair, the changes in their expressions when they cheated, the changes in their body movements, and so on. In order to divert her attention, they deliberately said some nonsense. One could even hear some information that could be obtained without spending money at the gambling table.
For example, Yi Chengxuan had a dog that wandered around the prison during the day. It seemed to be patrolling its territory. If you didn’t provoke it, it wouldn’t provoke you. However, if you showed even the slightest hostility to it, it would chase you and bite you. This dog was a pit bull.
Also, ever since the person in charge of Building No. 3 went to Building No. 1, she had never left her territory. Moreover, she rejected all offline transactions and could only trade online. Only the persons in charge of each building could directly trade online, which increased the workload of the other prisoners in
Building No. 3..
