He Jing was speechless. “I don’t want to.” Yan Hanxi was speechless.

He thought, “Not cooperating at all.”

He smiled helplessly. “I really lost to you. Let me just say it.”

He Jing raised her eyebrows and gestured for him to hurry up. Yan Hanxi then said, “In the beginning, every country had different poker cards. Italy had 78 cards per deck, Germany had 32 cards per deck, Spain had 40 cards per deck, and France had 52 cards per deck. Later, Westerners standardized the contents of poker according to the calendar in astronomy, so the international poker set 52 cards, with four suits, from Ace to King. The four suits of poker cards represented the four seasons. The 52 cards represented the 52 weeks in a year. The red joker represented the sun, the black joker represented the moon, the red card represented the day, and the black card represented the night. There were 13 cards in the same suit, which meant that each season had 13 weeks. The total points of the 52 cards were 364. Adding the black joker’s points was

365, which was equivalent to 365 days in a year. Adding the red joker makes it 366, which was a leap year. There were 12 cards from Ace to King, which meant that there were 12 months in a year. It also represents the twelve constellations in the west…”

“In other words, there are infinite possibilities for the password of this display case. It could be any of the poker cards. Without other clues, it would be very difficult to crack it.’

He Jing frowned when she heard that. She had just walked around the secret room and hadn’t found any usable clues. If things went as expected, the password to the display cabinet could only be found on the playing cards.

Chen Yu heard Yan Hanxi’s words from afar. He mobilized everyone and said,

“Let’s collect these poker cards first and see if there’s any pattern.”

Cheng Yi immediately followed suit and picked up the scattered poker cards on the ground with the other players.

However, He Jing remained motionless, lost in thought again.

Yan Hanxi asked, “What are you thinking about?”

He Jing replied, “I’m thinking about the intentions of the designer of the secret room.”

The secret room was designed for the public, so the requirements for the player’s skill level shouldn’t be very high. As long as they had the money to buy tickets, it would be fine. If they wanted to clear this secret room, they had to

know about poker. Was that realistic?

It seemed highly impractical.

Secondly, there were so many poker cards on the ground. Even if there were ten of them, it would take them half an hour to sort through each card. There were so many steps in a secret room. Did the designer really think that everyone could tolerate such tedious work?

The original intention of playing the secret room was to relieve stress.

At this moment, Cheng Yi, with somewhat naive surprise, exclaimed, “Hey, Student He Jing, aren’t you going to help?”

Everyone was doing something except for her. No matter how she looked at it, she seemed to be slacking off.

He Jing said, “I don’t think the clues are in the number of poker cards, so I don’t want to collect them.”

Cheng Yi paused for a moment, then put on a very generous attitude and said, “Student He Jing, I know that we’re opponents now. There’s a small gap between our points, which can easily change. However, now is not the time to care about points. If we don’t cooperate, none of us will escape. Student He Jing, the team is more important. We are both opponents but also partners, aren’t we?”

He Jing had long been accustomed to her ambiguous words. She said it in a dignified manner. Wasn’t she just trying to accuse her of not being willing to make a move and wanting to reap the fruits of their victory for nothing?

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, the other players spoke up in support.

“That’s right. There are so many poker cards. The sooner we collect them, the sooner we can go out.”

“Besides, the points can’t be obtained by one group. If we work together, each group will get points.”

“He Jing… I think she’s the one with the first place in points. So that’s how the first place came about?”

Cheng Yi was pleased to hear this, but she still pretended to be tolerant. “Please don’t say such things about her. Student He Jing and I are classmates, and she doesn’t usually behave like this.” PS: Extra chapter tomorrow
