Hearing Claude's words, the players' expressions froze.

In a deserted and forbidden place, you encounter a powerful, strange-looking humanoid creature who invites you to a game that could cost you your life.

This matter, how suspicious it looks.

The players silently exchanged glances, with the strength of several of them, the upper and lower seas of fire were all on the ground, and it was naturally impossible to be frightened by a mere threat.

Hohenheim took a half step forward and said with a smile: "Why don't you do this, Mr. Claude, you can show us the way, and we can provide food, gold, silver, jewelry, or other items..."

"Huh? Do you have a problem with your brain? ”

The three-armed strange man sneered unceremoniously: "What role do you think gold and silver jewelry can play in this primeval forest?"

Don't defile the land with a copper-smelling mind.

Either start a game with me or just roll and don't waste my time. ”

Hohenheim still had a smile on his face, not at all angry at the other party's insults - in many script tasks, some characters who behave strangely have their own set of thinking logic,

Just like NPCs in video games, there is only one thing in the brain.

As an undoubted first-echelon player, he has seen this situation a lot, and he has long been calm, no longer caring about being scolded, but starting to think about how to avoid risks and squeeze interests.

"Well, we don't mind playing games,"

Hohenheim exchanged glances with the other companions, then turned to Claude and said, "But before we begin, we want to know how the game will be played and what the rewards will be. ”

In this script mission, they were dropped on the edge of the forest, and when they walked some distance forward, they encountered NPCs, which triggered this plot.

According to the previous strategy experience, the relatively relaxed mission time limit often hints that players have multiple ways to clear the game, and it is obvious that this NPC is a part of the strategy process, and perhaps an important part.

The players present are all wise and brave, with their various basic attributes, and rich equipment and prop skills, they are enough to cope with various challenges, no matter what the conventional game method has a high winning rate.

Even if you lose...

If you really can't do it, you can just pull out your knife and use your hands, carry out a righteous siege, capture and torture the other party? Get the information and items you need to clear the game.

Aren't players good old people who abide by the spirit of ethics and contracts? Profitable situation? Can they help the grandmother cross the street? Help the owner return the wallet? You can also become a butcher and go on a killing spree just to earn a small number of game points.

'A good man like me? Less and less. ’

Leon glanced at his companions who were silent and made Hohenheim a negotiator, and instantly guessed what they meant? Sighed silently in your heart, with your arms folded in front of you? Waiting to see the Hohenheim show.

"I can tell you what the reward is, after all, it's fair."

Didn't expect this time? Claude was quite talkative, and waved the three cloth bags in his hand generously? "In addition to telling you the way to the Holy Mountain, I will also give me three bags.

I have been wandering in this forest for a long time, and I have seen many outsiders like you who come to the sacred mountain for pilgrimage, and I know all the dangers you may encounter if you want to climb the sacred mountain.

Each of these three bags has a treasure in it? Open at the right time? can help you solve the difficulties you encounter. ”

What is this, a trick?

Could it be that you are Zhuge Kongming?

Hohenheim complained in his heart, no expression on his face, and nodded: "What about the content of the game." ”

"It's simple."

Claude grinned, lifted the slender arm on his chest, reached into the folded skin of his chin, and pulled out a blood-stained copper coin, "I'll toss this coin, you and I guess it's heads." ”

"Guess the tail?"

Hohenheim frowned, "That's it?" ”

"The rules are a little more complicated, but they're actually quite simple,"

Claude smiled sadly, "If you agree, then let's start now..."

Before he could finish speaking, he raised his arms and clapped them together in front of him.

Bang!

I saw that the ground under the feet of the two suddenly rose, accompanied by the flying of fallen leaves and dead branches, and the two were supported by a cylindrical earth platform, and rose into the air parallel to the canopy.

Hohenheim frowned slightly, and glanced around, the earthen platform was three meters in diameter, just enough for two people to stand face to face,

The distance from the ground is exactly what everyone has tested before, and it is infinitely close to the height of the lightning strike.

"This is my game with you, your teammates can't participate."

Claude waved the arm in the middle, and the cylindrical earth platform automatically extended dozens of dense spikes to intercept the Kui Niu Mecha that was trying to climb up.

“...”

Hohenheim glanced down, and the situation below did not change,

The carcass of the boar that had been killed by Claude fell in front of the stone pillar,

The Kui Niu Mecha and David and the others who had landed were standing behind the stone pillar, looking up at Hohenheim, as if they were shouting something at him, probably asking about his condition.

The stone platform that Claude had risen from was affected by an unknown force that made it impossible for Hohenheim to see the outside world as if it were through a thick layer of glass.

However, the extraordinary power is not restrained...

He felt the magic contained in his body, and the book of sand in his palm was windless and automatic, circulating back and forth in several powerful spells, and the mana was condensed but not dispersed, and he could attack at any time.

Hohenheim thought for less than a second, then made up his mind, casually cast a spell that amplifies the sound effect, and shouted to his companion below, "I'm fine." ”

David and the others standing below should have heard his voice, nodded, and took more than ten steps back, away from the stone pillar platform, maintaining a distance that could climb up and rush up at any time.

"Are you ready?"

Claude smiled and looked at Hohenheim, who turned his head, and said leisurely: "Now, let me talk about the specific rules.

What you and I have to do is to each choose a sequence of three consecutive coin tosses, such as positive positive, positive positive, positive and negative.

I'll keep tossing a coin until I have a result that matches the sequence, and then I will re-toss until I get a best-of-five situation. Fair and reasonable.

So, let's get started. ”
