Chapter 595: The Contest with Mu Ying
A second β of small β³ said Β§ net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
Soon the Second Elder stood up from his seat and began to announce the rules of this competition. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The content of this competition is very simple, there are three boxes in front of you, one of which has one thing in it, and the other two are empty. You need to figure out which box has the ball in it to win. β
When I heard the rules of the game, I couldn't help but be stunned.
The rules of this contest are simple and unusual, but I quickly understood them.
This time the divination of the competition. Divination means that you have to calculate what you don't know based on some information, whether it is something in the future or something that has already happened.
One of the most interesting things about divination is that the simpler things seem to be, the more difficult they are to calculate. Because of simple matters, you have too little information.
To give you a simple example, many people who don't believe in fortune tellers like to say, if the fortune teller is really that good, shouldn't I sit down and he will know what I want to count and who I am? Why do you ask me for information?
But in fact, divination is based on some existing information on the unknown things to calculate, if you don't say anything and let the fortune teller give you a direct calculation, no matter how powerful the master is unable to start.
And our competition this time is actually such a situation.
There were only three boxes in front of us, and only one box had something in it. This may seem like a simple thing, but because we don't know anything, we don't know who put it, when it put it, and we don't know what exactly is in the box, which makes it a lot more difficult.
I turned my head to look at Mu Ying, and sure enough, I saw that her face was also a little solemn.
"Alright, now I'll give you time to stick a stick of incense. At the end of a stick of incense, you choose a box as the answer. You can choose the same box, but if you choose the same box, the round will be forfeited and the next round will be played. β
After saying the rules, the second elder immediately lit a stick of incense.
I didn't say a word to Mu Ying, and immediately looked at the three boxes in front of me in silence.
Although this scene may seem a little ridiculous, in fact, the two of us have already begun to make extremely complex theoretical calculations in our minds.
Since we don't know any information, the only thing we can do is make assumptions.
The first thing to assume is what is in this box. I think this is a competition for the daughters of the Mu family, and it should be something precious, right? If you want to assume that the person who put the thing is one of the three elders.
Based on these two assumptions, I immediately began to deduce the divination, and after some calculations, I set my eyes on the box in the middle.
Obviously, Mu Ying experienced exactly the same mental activity as me, and her eyes fell on the box in the middle at the same time.
But come to think of it, the two of us were about the same level. Mu Ying's talent is much lower than mine, so although she started early, she is now at the same level as me, and it is only natural that the two of us will deduce similar results.
I was about to give my answer, but suddenly, I heard a deep voice in my earβ
"Choose the one on the left. β
I was stunned and looked up.
Obviously, I was the only one present who heard this voice, and I saw that the people around me still looked the same, just staring at me and Mu Ying, waiting for the answer from both of us.
My eyes were full of shock.
Although the voice was very soft, I quickly recognized it.
It was the voice of the Great Elder.
I couldn't believe my ears, and immediately raised my head to look at the Great Elder next to me, only to see that his face was still cold and serious, but when he met my eyes, he nodded quietly.
I was shocked to the extreme.
What's going on? Did the Great Elder use the voice transmission to secret, hinting at me the correct answer this time? But why? The Great Elder I know is iron-faced and selfless, and he is not close to people, and it is impossible for him to help me cheat.
No, could it be that the Great Elder deliberately gave me a wrong hint that he didn't want me to win the game, so he wouldn't have to give me the artifact?
I was so distracted that I had completely forgotten to give my answer. And just when I lost my mind, Mu Ying on the other side couldn't wait to point to the box in the middle and said: "The result I calculated is the box in the middle." β
After speaking, Mu Ying looked at me triumphantly, raised her little face high, and said disdainfully: "How about Shu Qian, which is your answer? But I think so, at the level of a half-person like you, you can't calculate anything at all, so you can only choose with me. It's just that you don't keep doing this, when the game goes on, it's all the time of the two of us that is wasted. β
I didn't pay attention to Mu Ying's cynicism and infrastructure at all, but continued to think about the information that the Great Elder gave me just now.
What should I choose? Should I take the Great Elder's word and choose the box on the left, or should I follow my answer and choose the middle one?
If I choose the middle one, even if I am wrong, I will be wrong with Mu Ying, and I will not lose the game. But if I listen to the Great Elder's words, and the Great Elder deliberately designed to frame me, then I will really lose, and I will not be able to get this artifact in my hands.
While I was struggling, the incense on the side was about to burn out. The second elder opened his mouth and urged, "Miss, you hurry up and choose one." β
The third elder also sneered and said: "That's it, you are still the eldest lady of our Mu family, such a simple test bean sprouts have been entangled for so long, it is really a shame for our Mu family." β
I didn't pay attention to the meanness of the three elders, but I secretly made a decision in my heart at this moment.
I decided to take the words of the Great Elder.
I thought about it carefully, if the Great Elder really deliberately deceived me and didn't want to give me the artifact, he could have refused to agree to my request from the beginning, and there was no need to change his tricks to trick me like this. So I decided to take a gamble and trust the Great Elder.
Anyway, if the Great Elder deliberately cheats me, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the artifact even if I win the game. With this in mind, I said, "The result I calculated is the one on the left." β
As soon as my words fell, Mu Ying on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Shu Qian, I know that you started late and your divination level is poor, but I didn't expect you to open my eyes!
