For the next few minutes, the room was quiet, and most of the people just quietly watched the host Ming Liu take things out of the package one by one and put them on the table, assembling them, while listening to Huang Lao reintroduce the rules of the game in his slow and magnetic voice. When the host Ming Liu pulled the empty package back on, Huang Lao's introduction just ended.

At this moment, it also means that the "general battle" of the fifth game of the White Night Festival has officially begun.

"I can finally see the legendary 'Stealing the Country' level gameplay." Chris has no friendship with the other people, and he was originally a spectator, but he was even more excited at this time.

Liang Jingmo on the side looked at him with disdain: "Hey, if you lose this game, you will have to stay on this island and wait for death." ”

"Whatever, I can't do anything anyway, do I shout and cheer like that kind of sports competition?" Chris smiled and sat down in the corner of the wall. From this position, he could enjoy the battle on both sides at the same time.

"For me, just enjoy the process. Even if you can't understand the game, at least try to understand what these weird devices are going to do. He took a deep breath and leaned his back against the cold wall, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it all, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to see the game of 'Stealing the Country', and if you can see it once, it is worth dying." ”

Liang Jingmo sighed and sat down next to him. He once again remembered the rules of the game that Huang Lao had just proposed. Compared to the game on the other side of the screen with incomprehensible rules, the rules here are as simple as possible - or even rudimentary. The rules of the game are as empty as makeshift wooden shelves, but this very restrictive framework means that there is a lot of space inside.

And this is exactly the consistent style of the legendary "war of stealing the country".

The rules of the game proposed by Huang Lao are called "Trailer", which is one of the game forms often used in the "War of Stealing the Country". The rules are very simple, and the challenge is to have one of the parties give a precise notice of an event that did not happen. The other party needs to choose whether to accept the challenge, and if not, the round ends directly, and then the rights are reversed, and it is up to this side to make a notice and start the next round.

If he accepts, he will choose between "will happen" and "will not happen" as his own position, and the other will become the position of the heralder.

Afterwards? Both parties just have to wait for confirmation that the incident has occurred.

If you are an average player, this game may fall into a situation where the period of time to confirm the facts is too long, but at the level of "Stealing the Country", it will not be at all. It is not difficult for careful people to see that the biggest key to this game is not how to make an accurate prediction, because in the end, the position of both sides is not the person who made the prediction, but his opponent. If he makes a prediction that it is obvious that it will happen, then his opponent can win if he chooses to believe the prediction.

At first glance, this looks like a game of mutual deception and testing the information warfare capabilities of both sides?

In fact, speaking of which, this game is a bit like the coin guessing "trust game" that Xiang Nanxing had with Xu Wen before. In that game, the "foreshadowed" event is limited to the heads and tails of the coin tossed by one side, and the other side has to choose between trusting the announcement or questioning it. In the first half of the game, they are indeed competing with each other in the form of fraud, but in the second half, Xu Wen's action of flipping the coin reveals the true meaning of this type of game.

It is not the ability to predict events that determines victory or defeat, but the power to make predicted events come true. The real competition will not begin until both sides have decided on their positions. The person who made the notice does not necessarily trust the content of his own warning, but he trusts his own control over the event, and if his opponent accepts to make a judgment on the warning, it also means that he believes that he is capable of determining the outcome of the prediction. It doesn't matter who chooses yes or no, what matters is which of them can make their side come true.

Whoever predicts that the cruise ship will sink will actually sink the ship; Whoever predicts that the plane will fall will definitely let the plane crash; Finally, the side that predicts that there will be zero people in the hotel will try to drive the people inside away or kill them.

On the surface, they are just people sitting at opposite ends of the table, and they don't have to do anything but talk about it. However, outside the gambling table, there are all kinds of social relations, armed forces, and capital that they have been preparing for a long time. While they were talking and laughing, the places they mentioned were either under fire or in the dark. And the public has always been ignorant of the reasons.

It's just that this is not the height that their eyes can reach.

The teaser isn't about foresight, it's about the actual control of the world they're in, it's about entering the realm of demigods.

"It's just that it's obviously my home stadium like today, and it's not fair to play the preview game according to the usual gameplay."

Huang Lao said lightly: "Let's go according to the literal meaning today." In the upcoming teaser game, I promised not to use the privileges of the home field, because our actions would affect the real world on the other side. You get the idea, after all, these chips represent something...... It's like I told you earlier. ”

"Stop talking nonsense." The masked man replied coldly, "Let me make sure, the chips are like the kind of bets in the 'Stealing War', right?" ”

"Yes, as in the 'Stealing War', the proposer makes the ante first, the challenger calls, and has the right to raise once. If the proposer chooses not to follow at this point, he loses the initial ante. Huang Lao said, "How about an ante bet with at least one chip and at least one chip at a time when you raise?" ”

"Acceptable." The Mask Man said.

After getting his confirmation, the host Ming Liu neatly stacked the round chips in the hands of the two of them. Huang Lao continued to play with the hard chips in his hand, but his eyes looked directly at the picture in front of him. Xiang Nanxing, who was inside, had already selected the blood bag, put on the blood transfusion equipment, and was waiting for the host to input the blood in the blood bag into his body.

In this game, Huang Lao is the challenger, and according to the rules, he should make the first prediction. And he didn't drag it out for long. After a brief moment of thought, he tossed two chips as an ante bet and said something unexpected.

"Xiang Nanxing, will use the right to save his life in the first round." He smiled and said, "This is my teaser." ”

"It's only the first round, and you're going to use the most precious life-saving power?"

Chris almost shouted next to him, but in the end he didn't lose his temper.

At first glance, he thought that this conclusion seemed like a fantasy, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing strange about it. Due to the existence of the "Blood Trial", the loser of each round of the duel has to risk his life and die from the hemolytic reaction caused by the wrong blood type transfusion if he is not careful. It's more likely that one of them will win passively than if one of them hangs up before the eighth leg than if one of them hangs up before then.

Until then, the top priority is to protect yourself and survive no matter what. The right to save a life is only once, and it is indeed very precious, but life is also only once, and if it is not used when it should be used, there will be no chance again.

What's more, if you can see through the rules as soon as possible, you will be able to control your own victory and defeat to a certain extent in the later stage, and then winning or losing will no longer depend on luck, even if you lose, there is nothing to say. Chris thought to himself, if it were him, he would probably use the right to save his life in the first half. Considering that the probability of getting someone else's blood bag in the first round is 50%, and the adverse reactions caused by rapid blood transfusion may also be mistaken for the wrong choice, so the right to save lives is used in vain in a panic. In this way, the chance of Xiang Nanxing using the right to save his life in the first round is actually more than half?

"If it were me, I would not accept it, and then I would announce it myself." Chris said.

The Masked Man, however, stood firmly on the other side.

"With two of you, plus four more, I'll bet 'it won't happen.'" As he spoke, he threw four chips at the same time. Huang Lao next to him smiled, smiling like an old fox who had succeeded in his scheme.

"Of course I do." He put down his chips and said calmly.

The two people who made the "preview" here have already done what they need to do, and then they just have to wait for the results. The host Ming Yanagi, who was standing next to him, began to prepare for the next job of collecting chips. The true colors of those small devices were finally revealed, and when she saw what she was doing, even Chris, who was a little slower, finally understood the meaning of the "chips" here.

"I see, no wonder he agreed to take this one." He muttered.

He slowly turned his head to look at Xiang Nanxing in the picture. Dark red blood is being injected into his body along the catheter with an unknown antigen type, and his fate is about to be judged. But the boy didn't know that another competition was going on in another room at this time, and his performance was also affecting the process here.

And at this moment, Chris suddenly saw a trace of fear on Xiang Nanxing's face. This comes from the depths of the human instinct, the fear of death, and even if the latter tries to endure it, it still cannot be completely concealed.

Fear can hinder one's thinking and make one make wrong judgments. Chris knew that Xiang Nanxing in this state was likely to misjudge the situation and waste the life-saving power that he didn't need to use. To make matters worse, it's not just the trouble of this round, after which he'll have to face even tougher conditions without insurance. When the time comes, the fear will only intensify.

"It's not good." Liang Jingmo next to him couldn't help frowning slightly.

If you want to go on like this, it's clear that something is not going well.
