Mystery Visitor
The air seemed to freeze, and only the flickering candle flame and the man who ate were still moving. In an unconscious state, Xiang Nanxing and Shen Lingshuang had already formed a horned formation, one left and one right to protect Nangong Qian, who was good at shooting, behind them, which was the best formation for the three of them to face the enemy.
The person on the other side was obviously just eating by himself, and there was not even the slightest hostility, but the faint aura was enough for them to be so vigilant.
"Don't be nervous." Xu Wen smiled, "Of course, you have to follow the rules of the island on this island, and if you don't want to, I can't use force." But aren't you going to hear how this problem can be solved first? ”
Xiang Nanxing replied in a deep voice: "Betting on this game is nothing more than pressing chips. We do need chips now, so instead of going around in circles, let's just say how much of you can use it to bet on? ”
"Good, straight to the point." Xu Wen praised. He wiped his mouth, stood up on the spot, and looked straight into Xiang Nanxing's eyes.
"I know, your shortfall is about 10,000 chips." "And I just have that much to come up with." So if you're okay with that, let's just make a bet on this spec. ”
"Tens of thousands of chips at once?" Shen Lingshuang opened her mouth wide. This number has never been seen before, and she doesn't even dare to think about it. In the past two days, she felt that Xiang Nanxing had invested thousands of chips at a time, and the person in front of her actually said that he would take out 10,000 chips to bet as soon as he opened his mouth - not to mention taking it out, there are probably only a handful of players on this island who have so many resources, and it is definitely rare to have Xiang Nanxing next to her.
After the first reaction of surprise, she immediately turned her head to look at Xiang Nanxing, with a slightly worried look on her face. Indeed, if they win these 10,000 chips, their biggest problem at this time will be solved, Xiang Nanxing and Nangong Qian can both participate in the next White Night Festival, and the tacit understanding and trust that the two have cultivated during this time may still have room to play when they are really playing. But on the other hand, there is undoubtedly a huge risk involved.
What if you lose?
10,000 chips is almost all they have at this time. Even with such a capital foundation, it is almost impossible to make more than 10,000 in a day, let alone fight with almost no money. To put it bluntly, once Xu Wen's proposal is accepted, there can only be two results in the end: either the two of them go together, or no one can go.
It's a big decision. Shen Lingshuang looked at Xiang Nanxing worriedly, but found that the corners of the latter's mouth suddenly moved, and then slowly rose, and a meaningful smile gradually emerged.
"Isn't that interesting?" He smiled and said, "You can either go or you can't, you really put forward a rather tempting condition." ”
"At first glance, our choice seems to be either to venture in and take on you, or to be on the safe side, choose to keep the chips we have. But when it comes to me and her, things are different. If there is no proposal from you, we will start infighting next, and choose the one who can participate in the White Night Festival, and the issue that may become internal friction will not be talked about for a while, at least one thing is certain, I have to face Nangong. ”
He spread his hands and shrugged, "To be honest, I wasn't sure about her at all...... I'm sure she feels the same way, right? ”
Nangong Qian, who was behind him, didn't respond, just nodded silently.
"If the two of us play against each other, the one who loses won't be able to participate. So for me and her, the question is no longer whether to fight, but what kind of opponent to choose to fight. Xiang Nanxing continued, "You're probably better than me, but I'd rather challenge you with her than fight her." ”
As he spoke, his fighting spirit grew, and his outstretched hand slowly clenched into a fist and put it in front of Xu Wen.
The two joined forces, and then the two of them participated in the White Night Festival together. That's my choice. He said proudly, "Come on! ”
Although it seemed that Xiang Nanxing's explanation seemed to be a little more for a moment, Shen Lingshuang, as the host, still couldn't help but be moved by the momentum of his last sentence. On the other side, Xu Wen's eyes also seemed to be burning with war intent, although this person still had all kinds of doubts, but since the players on both sides had already expressed their positions, as the only host here, Shen Lingshuang knew that he had to start completing his work.
"Well, in that case, it's up to both parties to decide the rules of the game to be adopted......"
Halfway through her words, she suddenly heard a "wait", but the person who spoke was Nangong Qian, who had not spoken just now. "Wait a minute, host." She said coldly, stepped forward, and stood between Xiang Nanxing and Xu Wen, faintly looking like an isosceles triangle.
"You guys seem to be doing things a little too much of your own." She said, "I haven't even confirmed my participation, so why would you want to put these chips on my behalf." ”
She said "you", but her words pointed directly at Xiang Nanxing on the side. The latter's face sank suddenly, and Shen Lingshuang next to him became nervous.
"Don't get into infighting at this time, please." Shen Lingshuang shouted silently in her heart, "If you want to accuse the other party's attitude, you have to find the right time, Xiang Nanxing is right, it is worth taking a risk in this situation." ”
She was almost going to shout. It's just that because of the identity of the host, these biased words for players can never be said.
It's a pity that no matter how much she complains in her heart, things still take a sharp turn in the direction she doesn't want to see. Nangong Qian's attitude at this time was like a spark, igniting the emotions that Xiang Nanxing had been suffering from under pressure at this time.
"So you have any useful suggestions?" He asked directly, sneered and said, "Or do you think you should keep 10,000 chips, and then you can definitely beat me?" ”
Nangong Qian snorted and didn't speak.
Seeing that the relationship between the two seemed to have dropped to the freezing point all of a sudden, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Shen Lingshuang thought about it, turned to Xu Wen's side and asked, "I want to ask first, isn't the 10,000 chips you said just plain talk?" Can you prove it here? ”
Xu Wen laughed: "You are a little partial." Isn't it possible to verify assets after confirming participation, and now you want me to show my chips, but after reading them, they decided not to gamble, and changed to other methods to take advantage of it, so wouldn't it be a big loss on my side? ”
"This ......," Shen Lingshuang was speechless for a while. Xu Wen's rebuttal was reasonable, and the suggestion she had just made was indeed unfair to him. However, just as she hesitated to apologize, the other party had already consciously put the suitcase in front of her, turned half a circle to face their side, and then slowly opened it.
"But to show my sincerity, it doesn't hurt for you to confirm first." He said.
The box opened, and it was densely packed with chips. Chips come in denominations that vary from large to small, and it's impossible to actually add them all at once. However, the three of them have at least seen what Xiang Nanxing's 10,000 chips are piled up, and when they see those in the other party's box at this time, their first reaction is that there are more on that side than on their side.
Xu Wen inserted his hand into the stack of chips, flipping up and down to reveal the chips underneath. This is a sign that the entire box is full of genuine chips, and there is nothing else underneath.
"Okay."
Even Nangong Qian was finally moved, but the delicacy of women made her still have one last doubt: "Why do you even want to start the game at this point?" Isn't this directed at us? ”
"It's simple, because like you, I want to bring someone in." Xu Wen replied with a smile, "I just took the initiative to find those who have a lot of chips, and you undoubtedly meet my requirements." ”
Seeing that Nangong Qian already had a default attitude, Xiang Nanxing nodded to Shen Lingshuang, who understood.
"In that case, then the two sides should be prepared for a showdown."
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Shen Lingshuang guided them to a clearing in the forest, and started the next step with the crescendo of sunlight. "To be fair, this time I will also follow the rules of the island and choose one of the hundred game formats as the content of this duel." As she spoke, she took out two ten-sided dice, "There are two dice here, one for ten and one for the single digit, which together represent a hundred numbers. Player Xu Wen is a challenger and uses single-digit dice. ”
As she spoke, she handed the dice to Xu Wen, and then Xiang Nanxing also took the dice representing the ten digits from her. Both dice have ten sides, with numbers ranging from zero to nine, so that the final combination can be ranked from "00" to "99", representing a total of 100 games listed in the island's manual - which, of course, has only been seen by the hosts.
So the two threw the dice into the dice cup prepared by Shen Lingshuang, Xiang Nanxing was the first to let go, and Xu Wen was a little slower. In the end, he threw "5", Xu Wen was "0", and the result was "50". Just one number that doesn't go up or down.
Shen Lingshuang's face flashed for a moment. "Fifty. This is...... Coin toss game. She said.
"Coin toss?" Xiang Nanxing also frowned, "Sounds very low-tech." ”
That's not good news for them. Originally, their advantage was in numbers, and if they brainstormed, maybe two stinkers would be enough to force one Zhuge Liang to death. However, if it becomes something that is purely a matter of luck such as a coin toss, the numerical advantage at this point is meaningless.
"No, don't get me wrong."
Probably seeing the worry under Xiang Nanxing's complaint, Shen Lingshuang explained: "Coin toss game is just a common name, although it does need to use a coin, but the actual comparison has little to do with coins. The focus is on speech and acting. ”
"This game has an official name." "It's called the 'trust game,'" she said. ”
