Chapter XXVIII
The platform in the center of the pool is simple in structure, with a table made of ice crystals in the center. On each www.biquge.info side of the pen "Fun" pavilion is a throne made of the same material.
Lin Ao sat on one of the Ice Crystal Thrones, facing the old man Gambo. Unlike what it seems, this Ice Crystal Throne doesn't feel a chill at all. Since there was no discomfort and no worries about sitting on it, Lin Ao clicked the "accept" button with peace of mind.
The duel begins.
Within this inherent enchantment, there was an immediate change, and five round chips appeared on the heads of Lin Ao and Old Man Ganbo at the same time. The one on Lin Ao's head is blue, while the one on the head of the old fish is yellow. The chips were floating, like real objects, and like projected illusions.
I haven't thought of any exact way yet, so let's let the old man let his guard down first......
Lin Ao pretended to be panicked, raised his head, looked at those chips intently, and asked, "Is this ...... What are they? It feels like it's sharp! ”
Gambo Lao Yu stared at Lin Ao, looked at his stupid face, and smiled even more wantonly: "This is the chips, God has divided our bets evenly within these chips. Each chip you have is equivalent to ten years of life, and each chip I have is equivalent to 5% of the magic power in my body. As long as you take all the opponent's chips, you will win. ”
"That'...... So what's the point? We have to take all of each other's chips to win. It's better to go straight to a game, bet on everything, and end it directly? ”
"No," said Ganbo Old Fish Yaoyao, "Actually, this is my chance for you." ”
"Opportunity?"
"Don't you understand?" Gambo Old Fish tapped his fingers on his Ice Crystal Throne, which really looked like a human old man instructing his subordinates. "This duel you can surrender. In other words, I'm giving you a chance to save your life. Maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, when you fall into despair, if you surrender, you can still save part of your life. ”
"I see, then thank you so much" Lin Ao said, feeling a little unhappy.
Pretending to be this kind of thing, many times it is refreshing when I pretend to be myself, and when I watch others pretending, I can't wait for the knife to stab that person in the ass a few times.
However, Lin Ao still resolutely pretended to be stupid to the end, after all, before seeing through the strength of others, rashly revealing his identity would only make the other party vigilant.
He continued to put a smile on his face and asked Gambo Old Fish, "Since the duel has begun, what should we bet on first?" Speaking of taking turns to decide, it must be you, old man, who decided first, right? ”
"That's right, that's a good question!" The old fish pointed to the pool next to him and said, "The first game I set is this: throw the bait into the water, and estimate how much time it will take for the fish to eat the bait, and the closest one wins." Of course, we also need to bet, and I decided that for a chip, you have the right to raise. ”
"Accept" or "Reject"......
Lin Ao had such a choice in front of him again, and when he clicked "accept", he also asked Ganbo: "Bait?" You don't have bait in your hand, so what do you use as bait? ”
"Hehe, young man. Didn't you just say that God will help us solve everything. ”
Gampo gestured to the table in the center of the platform, the one with a completely transparent ice crystal table. A small point of light condensed in the air on the table, and after the dimming, it appeared as a fist-sized "bait", not much different from that used by humans for fishing.
Bang! In addition to the bait, Lin Ao and Gambo Old Fish had a chip flying on the table at the same time. Meantime! A holographic interface also appeared in front of Lin Ao! The green frame, the green characters, and the "colon" on it are divided into several areas, which seems to be the place where Lin Ao wants to fill in the time.
Lin Ao looked at the old man Ganbo opposite, the puffer fish slid in front of him with his hand, but Lin Ao couldn't see the holographic interface in front of him.
The system of secrecy, as it really......
Neither side can see the time filled in by the other. To a certain extent, it prevents cheating behaviors such as peeking and imitating the other party's actions to obtain information. Small actions didn't work at all, and this time Lin Ao could only rely on himself.
Guess when the fish ate the bait......
Lin Ao thought about it and couldn't help but look at the pool next to him. Inside the pond, the various fish swam happily, as if they were unaware that there was a duel related to them. Lin Ao couldn't grasp the movements of these fish at all, and he wasn't a zoologist, so this duel was tantamount to guessing.
But the other side is different......
Cheating, this is what Lin Ao thought of the fastest Gambo old fish would do. This is his home field, and he is also a fish himself, Lin Ao can imagine several of the easiest ways to cheat in an instant.
1. "Communication", Gambo uses a special method to communicate with the fish in the pond, informing them of the time to eat the bait.
Second, "control", Ganbo has a lot of magic power, and he directly uses magic power to control the fish in the pool, and Lin Ao has no way to do it.
3. "Procrastination", maybe the fish here have the same wisdom as the Gambo and marlin, or maybe they won't eat the bait at all. This duel was a trap from the beginning, and Gambo only needed to fill in an extremely long time, no matter what time Lin Ao filled, as long as Gambo used energy, he could win this duel.
It seems to be a simple duel, but in fact, Lin Ao has fallen to the bottom from the "source" of this game.
"What? Don't dare to fill in the time? With a provocative tone, Gambo pointed to the sky between the two, where there was a countdown, and there were "thirty seconds" left.
"There's not much time left for you to think. However, no matter how you set the time, I will only win in the end. ”
Confidence, from Gampo's words, has been revealed. No matter what method is used, the head-on duel with Gambo is sure to lose. Only in a few ways that he didn't expect......
"Haha, that's hard to say." Lin Aole laughed, pretending to be an innocent little fool. "It's just a duel of luck. As long as I guess correctly, I still have a chance to win you, old uncle. ”
Lin Ao said, filling in the time of "thirty seconds" in his holographic frame.
Doodle! After a system tone, the time written by both sides is displayed above their heads for the first time. On the side of the chip, Lin Ao filled in thirty seconds, while what Old Man Ganbo wrote was one minute and twelve seconds.
The bait was also wrapped in magic, and little by little it moved towards the edge of the pool. And then...... Thump! With this crisp sound, the timer in the center begins.
00:01、00:02、00:03……
The fish in the pool seemed to be aware of the bait entering the water, but they just swam around it in circles and circles.
Alert......
Even if it's food, you won't take a bite easily. As animals, their instinct will always push them to see if there is danger around them, whether their food is really edible, and they will warily bite the first bite.
Ganbo Lao Yu looked at it and was even more proud: "Thirty seconds." You're too optimistic, aren't you? My younger brothers and sisters, my sons and daughters and nephews. They haven't grown up yet, they don't have magic yet, but they still know what danger is. Even if it's food I throw down, they don't put it in their mouths in the first place. ”
"Oh? I thought you would use magic, like communicating with them and controlling them with magic. Isn't that cheating? ”
"Hahaha, you young man thinks too badly of me, don't you?" Gambo Lao Yu smiled, "If you cheat, then gambling will be meaningless." Gambling is a complex game of sight, experience, and wisdom, and if you can use magic, it is better to fight with dignity! Gambling, it is the moment when the uncertainty is revealed, that makes me so excited! I've been living with these people for a long time, observing, observing, and observing, and even then I can only estimate when the greatest chance will be, and I can't figure out when they will bite the bait! But what I know for sure is that thirty seconds is too short for them! ”
"That's it, so that's ......" Lin Ao's face, which was pretending to be a simple boy, gradually appeared with a demonic smile. You don't use magic, but I will. ”
"You?" Gambo smiled heartily, "With your almost non-existent magic, what else can you do?" ”
"For example...... Such. Lin Ao stood up and made a circular gesture with his hands and ten fingers. That's my magic. ”
"What? Round? ”
"No, it's not a circle, it's a pronunciation, you try to put your mouth in the same shape as it."
"Pronunciation? It's a strange magic, I'd like to see it. Is it 'oh'? "The little mouth of the old fish buried in its long white beard is trying to pronounce such a syllable." Oooooooo......oo
"No, you have to open your mouth a little wider. Like me, oh oh oh! Lin Ao took a few steps closer to Gambo and demonstrated to him the "magic" that belonged to Lin Ao at close range.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ganbo Lao Yu felt that the result of this duel had been set from the beginning, so he followed Lin Ao and followed him.
"Interesting, I'll see what you can do with this magic. Oooooooo......oo
The old fish tried his best to open his mouth as much as possible. The distance between Lin Ao and Ganbo Old Fish at this moment was only half a meter.
"That's right, sir, that's it. That...... Then it's time to witness the miracle. ”
The evil on Lin Ao's face intensified, he raised his foot, and kicked the old man from the throne with a swift thunderbolt.
Thump! Old Man Gambo also fell into the water, making a big splash. The surrounding schools of fish wagged their tails and raced away from the behemoth in the water.
However, at this moment, the word "victory" has appeared on Lin Ao's head.
