Voting Rules
The air in the room seemed to freeze, and everyone just stood there with the tablet they received, and even looked up to observe the movements around them. The first to make a big move was the mysterious masked man, who unlocked the tablet as he walked, and finally sat down comfortably on the sofa and began to check the game information stored in the tablet.
"Xiang Nanxing, this person ......" Nangong Qian looked at the masked man's walking posture thoughtfully.
"I know."
Xiang Nanxing nodded. He knew what Nangong Qian wanted to remind, because looking at the few steps taken by the masked man, he also remembered the steps of another person he had just seen. That was the "ice floes" Yukihiko who brought them into the venue.
As Nangong Qian explained before, this is the characteristic of a top gunslinger. He learns quickly.
"Anyway, let's look at the rules first." He unabashedly took Nangong Qian's hand and walked to the side alone with her, away from Liang Jingmo and the others. They arrived at the venue relatively late, and almost everyone saw them coming in together, so there was no point in pretending to be strangers at this time, it was better to show the attitude of forming a team openly. As for Liang Jingmo and Shen Junhao, although Xiang Nanxing also planned to cooperate with them, he had not had direct contact before, so it was time to hide this layer of relationship first and observe the situation.
"As I understand it, voting games should test the player's ability to huddle. The people here all came in with great difficulty, and their strength is undoubted, and no one should obey each other. It's not easy to work together without a strong enough core to take the lead in the middle. So whoever can unite first is in a good position, and if we can continue to work together, the chances of winning will be greatly increased - that's my guess, now let's see what the rules are. β
Xiang Nanxing unlocked the tablet as he spoke. It's not that he's talking. In the last few games of that streak, he had consciously cultivated his habit of guessing the exact content by the name of the game and a brief introduction. Qiu Banxia also said that training like this can make you think closer to the host of the game.
"This way, it's easier to find loopholes in the rules, or deliberately set aside ideas that can be exploited." She said.
But it turns out that Xiang Nanxing always thinks too simplyβthis time is no exception.
"That's what 'sequentially' means......," he muttered to himself, looking at the rules he had clicked on, "and that way, the complexity skyrockets." β
Nangong Qian leaned over to take a look, and her brows immediately furrowed. At this time, the detailed rules of this "voting game" are displayed on the screen. It's just that it's "detailed", but it's actually just a few sentences:
Rule 1: Players vote anonymously within the time limit through the tablet, and once no decision is made within the time limit, the server will randomly select one as the player's decision in this round;
Rule 2: After all players complete their voting, the system will count their votes, and the final votes will be displayed on each person's tablet. When the highest number of votes is tied, the round of voting is invalid and the game continues;
Rule 3: The player with the highest number of votes is considered the winner of the round. They are removed from the venue and no longer participate in voting. The other players continue to the next round until the winning player reaches five players, and the game ends;
Rule 4: When the game is over, ask the player who didn't win to leave.
Compared with the situation in Xiang Nanxing's prediction, this set of rules is actually equivalent to one more rule, that is, "the winning player will be taken away from the scene". However, this one is particularly crucial, because he directly announced that Xiang Nanxing's teaming plan is no longer perfect.
Since entering the door together, he and Nangong Qian have been in a state of openly joining forces, and in addition, Liang Jingmo can also be regarded as a sure ally, knowing each other well and cooperating well. Although there is a grudge between Shen Junhao and Liang Jingmo, it is also due to the rules at that time, there is no way, and it is not difficult to come together for the common benefit at this time.
As for Chris, who looks like a teenager, because Xiang Nanxing has information about his true face in his hands, even if he wants to use tricks here to fool others, he has to worry about whether he will be exposed on the spot. There is such a layer of stakes, it is safer to work with Xiang Nanxing than to take risks to cooperate with others.
In this way, they reached five people, which was half the number of people in this ten-person venue. In the first few rounds of voting, it was almost a crushing advantage. Even if there may be a situation of uneven people in the second half, but the unstable factors are just Chris, and since there is a master like Liang Jingmo in the team, Xiang Nanxing does not have to worry.
The main focus he was thinking about just now was how to deal with Xiao Leping's matter. Because the latter had seen Liang Jingmo rescue him in prison, he knew the relationship between the two well, and if he was kept and co-opted by others, the information would be leaked, which might not be conducive to the plan of covert teaming up. However, if he is also drawn into the team, the whole number will become six, and although the vote is a sure victory, only five of the six people will win in the end, and one must be eliminated. In this way, everyone will inevitably have their own thoughts, and the instability of the team will rise.
Compared with this problem, although he still has a grudge against Xiao Leping, it doesn't matter.
It's just that after seeing the rules at this time, Xiang Nanxing found that he actually had no choice. The winner is taken out of the venue, which means that the side that wins the huddle will lose a crucial vote. At the beginning, if you join forces, you may be able to escort one, two, or even three people, but this is also easy to cause the resentment of the remaining few people, once the other party is also united, the total number of votes will drop because of the departure of the people, and the control of the situation will not be sustainable.
In this case, if you can get one more person in the early stage, you may be able to secure one more. As for the number of places, the order can only be communicated privately, and it is a big deal to draw lots. Seeing the rules, everyone knows that this game can't be won by yourself, and it must be acceptable to make some concessions in order to join forces with others.
Xiang Nanxing was thinking about it in his heart, when he suddenly found that there was a dialog box in the upper right corner of the screen flickering. He nodded curiously and saw a message.
"Hello, I didn't expect it to be me. Do you have any ideas on how to win the game? β
The signature is Liang Jingmo.
Xiang Nanxing smiled dumbly. This time, the tablet seems to have made a lot of improvements over the "Three Kingdoms Game", in addition to using "players who have not submitted votes are randomly selected by the server" to deal with the destruction of equipment, it is also equipped with this function that allows players to contact each other privately. In this way, even if they look like strangers on the surface, Xiang Nanxing and Liang Jingmo can also discuss strategies through private chats on the tablet.
After reading the rules, in the process of groping for the tablet, there must be other players who will notice this feature. However, this matter was probably discovered by Liang Jingmo first, because when others were still carefully considering the rules, he had already put aside the rules and continued to explore in great strides.
Before he was sure whether the channel of the private chat was reliable, he directly threw a message over, and he didn't care if there would be a mistake or a system vulnerability, exposing the relationship between the two - this kind of thing is only done by him.
And these things, it is difficult for the cautious Xiang Nanxing to do. He once tried to imitate Liang Jingmo's approach and did something beyond the norm to disrupt the situation and profit from it, but the result was often just to disrupt his own pace. Fortunately, at this time, he has also refined his weapons from one game after another. Envy is still envious, but you don't have to rely on imitating others to try to make yourself feel the bottom of your heart.
Looking at that message, he thought about it and put the tablet a little off, so that Nangong Qian next to him could also see the content on it. Of course, this meant to show sincerity, but the latter shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "You don't have to report everything to me." β
The screen flashed again as she said this. Liang Jingmo happened to send the latest piece of information.
"I'm guessing you're planning to unite everyone who can unite to make sure you win the vote and then think about how to allocate the quota internally. To do that, we have to reach more than half of the six people. You have reliable people over there, right? β
The timing of this message was just right, just like Liang Jingmo deliberately chose the time when Nangong Qian saw it. In fact, maybe there is really this calculation, or maybe not, but Nangong Qian just clicked the "vote" button, and let her tablet screen jump directly to the voting page.
"Just looking at the rules, I know it's going to be a game. This kind of brain-burning stuff isn't for me. She said lightly, "I don't care, you judge, and then I will act according to your instructions." That's it. β
"Miss, you're too broad-hearted." Xiang Nanxing couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't be pushed away by someone with a message." Even if you don't worry about being cheated out by me, if something goes wrong with my plan, it will still hurt you to get out. After all, it's not up to me to say that......
"But it's better than doing it myself." Nangong Qian interrupted him, "Okay, don't waste time with this nonsense, you don't treat me better than the one over there...... At least we're not in that relationship anymore that requires testing each other, right? Don't make me look down on you. β
When she said this, her dark eyes looked directly at Xiang Nanxing, as if with a deeper meaning than trust. Xiang Nanxing suddenly remembered the sentence "Everything is up to you" that she said with fear when the bomb was defused two days ago.
At that time, she could entrust her life to herself, and when she gambled with Xu Wen, she also pressed the hope of participating in the White Night Festival on Xiang Nanxing, and she retreated behind the scenes to fully support. In terms of trust, the trust shown in these two times is more than the current situation requires, and the few subconscious words I just said are more like shirking responsibility in retrospect.
It's no wonder she wants to say the extra "don't make me look down on you".
"Okay, I see, just leave it to me." Xiang Nanxing nodded heavily, "I'll try my best to let you win." β
Nangong Qian's eyes dimmed when she heard the second half of the sentence, but at that time, Xiang Nanxing had a decision in his heart, and as he spoke, he had already turned his gaze to the tablet, and he just didn't notice it.
There is one more piece of information signed "Liang Jingmo" on it.
"Hello, while you're flirting with your girlfriend, I've already done my business, I'm leaving you to do it."
"Turn your head." Xiang Nanxing replied, "What a serious matter." β
"So, just now I contacted the two of them directly and talked about cooperation. But there is also a problem with using a tablet to talk, that is, when the conversation is made, there will be a situation where both people look down, and if this continues, the partnership will be exposed sooner or later. In order to avoid arousing the vigilance of those big guys, I plan to maintain the scale of the three-person alliance, and the remaining three will be made up by you. β
"Totally agree. There are already two people on my side, so one more is enough. Xiang Nanxing wrote, "I'm going to go to Chris, and although I'm not familiar with him, I have a way to make sure he doesn't betray at least the first game." β
Liang Jingmo on the opposite side hesitated rarely. It was seconds before he sent a message.
"I'm sorry, Chris took the initiative to reach out to me and offered to join forces, he is one of the two people I talked to." Liang Jingmo wrote, "And the other person, as you guessed, is Shen Junhao. β
He said just the most ordinary information, but he had to start with a "sorry" first. Xiang Nanxing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.
If he excluded these two people, if he wanted to find his third person, he would have to contact that person.
The one who once betrayed himself, Xiao Leping.
