The Tower of Despair is divided into eleven floors, except for the first floor used to welcome newcomers and the eleventh floor where the Lord of Despair lives, each floor has countless game rooms, only the alien race who wins in the game room can enter the next level, and can get double the bet points, and the loser will deduct his bet and automatically descend one level. All those whose points are deducted will have no stake to give, but to pledge their souls to the Lord of Despair - to be made into Aguston and thrown into the universe to endure the pain of infinite time and space.

Out of millions of aliens, only about one or three people will be lucky enough to reach the top of the Tower of Despair and make their wishes to the Lord of Despair.

And even if there are only one or two lucky winners, even if so many losers are thrown into the universe and endure endless suffering, these still can't stop countless travelers every year from entering the Tower of Despair one after another and actively playing. There is only one reason, and that is that the Lord of Despair has infinite power that is almost divine in order to make a wish for the deterioration of people that it may have, whatever it is, can be granted.

In the game room on each floor, in different game rooms, no game rules are exactly the same. All kinds of bizarre games test the ability of gamblers in any aspect, from mind and body to luck. The conditions for failure are also different, most of them are failures when time runs out in the gaming room, and some stipulate that the gambler "dies" in the gambling room to lose. There are also rare games that set even more bizarre conditions for success and failure, such as the Thousand-Eyed Giant who entered a game room that is still fresh in his memory to this day - "dying" before the allotted time is considered a victory, and "surviving" after the allotted time is judged to be a failure.

And this stone sculpture in this jungle seems to be the publisher of this mission.

Seeing that the task publisher was in front, whether it was Lu Lie and the Thousand-Eyed Giant who were watching from the side, not to mention the baby-faced man in the center of the scene, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to breathe, for fear that this stone sculpture would miss any important information when he spoke.

The stone carving made a mechanical sound without twists and turns:

"Make a bet. You have twelve hours to kill all the aliens in the jungle. Kill the alien species within 12 hours, the mission wins, otherwise, the mission fails. ”

After saying this, the stone carving's forehead flashed with a faint and strange light, and then a scroll of paper engraved with small characters fell from its hand, and after falling to the ground, it was carefully picked up by the baby-faced man, and placed in his arms and carefully kept.

After getting the paper roll, the baby-faced man thought for a moment, hugged his neck with both hands, and then used his backhand to pull out his head! Lu Lie, who saw this scene, almost screamed out loud, thinking that there was something wrong in this game room. But when he saw the Thousand-Eyed Giant looking at him with mocking eyes, he knew that the other party was going to laugh at him again and make a fuss, so he had to suppress the surprise in his heart and continue to see what this baby-faced man was going to do.

The headless baby-faced man placed his head in a groove in the center of the stone carved chest, and its detached head Zhang Kai said: "The baby-faced man, Wujie, enshrine the baby-faced man's head here as a bet, as the price of opening this gambling room." ”

The red light on the forehead of the stone sculpture flashed a few times: "The head of the baby-faced man is worth fifty bets, and it has reached the standard of opening a gambling room." Once the game is successful, the player will be returned to the head and will be given an additional fifty bets. With the consent of the gamer, now, the game begins. ”

After a flash of red light, the stone sculpture disappeared in place along with the head placed on the stone carving, leaving only the headless infant face and the paper scroll clutched tightly in its hand.

Looking at Lu Lie's bewildered look, the purple devil on the side explained to him: "This is the pattern at the beginning of the game room. It's now the second floor of the Tower of Despair, and all the gamblers here are either novices or losers who have fallen from the third floor, so the victory conditions here are relatively simple...... Just like the baby-faced man did just now, after you enter the game room, the task publisher will appear in front of you in stone sculpture or other form, explain a piece of the rules of the game, and then write the rules into words that you understand, so that you don't forget the rules during the game - just like the book that the baby-faced man is holding. Then, place your bet temporarily with the task publisher, get the task publisher's approval, and the game begins. ”

Lu Lie first raised his doubts: "That guy ...... To put your own head at a gamble? Such a bet can also be approved by the task publisher? Is the task publisher blind?"

The Thousand-Eyed Giant immediately laughed and said, "Stupid, any kind of strange bet in this world can be made, take your own head off...... If you go into the gambling room, your eternal heart will still bet from time to time? ”

The Purple Demon explained to Lu Lie on the side: "As long as the bet is approved by the task publisher, it can be anything. The heads of the Baby-faced People have the ability to refine a special secret method, and their heads can grow new after a while after being removed, so it is only natural that they will be recognized by the task publisher. ”

Looking at the back of the baby-faced man racing against time to the jungle, Lu Lie couldn't help but ask a second question: "In the game room on each floor, as long as the approved bet is placed in the hands of the task publisher, you can be allowed to start the game, right?"

The Purple Devil nodded: "Yes, this is the unchanging rule of any game room in the Tower of Despair. ”

Lu Lie asked, "So, those losers who have been made into Aguston and thrown into the universe are judged to have failed because they have lost too many gambling rooms, so the bet has become zero or negative, right?" ”

Purple Demon said: "Yes...... But it's not necessarily that you lost a lot of gambling rooms. I've seen too many challengers, because after seeing the rules of the game room on this floor, they feel that they have won steadily, so they have pressed all their bets up, and they have been beaten into the universe in one hand. This is also a long-term thing. ”

"That's my problem. Lu Lie paused at this point. He found an obvious bug in the Tower of Despair rule, and it can be said that as long as he uses this bug, he can get into a safe and undefeated situation. However, after thinking for a while, Lu Lie still decided to tell this loophole, because the Tower of Despair receives so many alien challengers every year, if its rules really have such an obvious loophole, it would have been discovered by most people. There is no way that there will be one in a few million people who make it to the top alive.

"According to you, I only put a minimum amount of bets on the task publisher at a time, isn't it?Anyway, the requirement to enter the next layer is really to win a game room on this level, and there is no requirement for the challenger's bet holdings...... For example, if I participate in the gambling room, I will carry a hundred dollars, place one dollar on the task publisher on each floor, and double the dollar if I win, and I can move on to the next floor. If I lose, I don't feel distressed, anyway, with this method, it is equivalent to more than 100 lives for me. ”

"Boom!" the Thousand-Eyed Giant on the side suddenly burst out laughing. It seems that Lu Lie has thought about this question, and countless people have thought about it before him. The Thousand-Eyed Giant couldn't wait, and before the Purple Demon could speak, he showed off his knowledge to Lu Lie, "Idiot, what you think your simple brain can think of, not a single guy of the millions of alien races can think of? There are three reasons, first, each game room has a minimum bet limit, for example, the minimum bet in the game room on the second floor is thirty-five, and the bet on the third floor is seventy-five, and each floor is higher than the next floor. If you put a dollar on the task publisher, it will warn you for the first time that if you continue to place low-cost bets, it may just throw you into the universe as a loser. ”

"Second, not only does the task publisher have a minimum bet, but the bigger the bet you put in in the game, the lower the relative difficulty of the game...... Although the difficulty cannot be described in any unit or quantity, those of us who have been in the Tower of Despair for a long time know that the Tower of Despair is nothing to be bullied by at this point. You get what you pay for. In a gambling room, you bet 100 and bet 500, you bet 1,000, and you face very different treatment. Maybe you don't feel the benefits of betting too much now, and a master like me who has reached the sixth floor can know how difficult it is to go up to the level of the gambling room. Don't bet a little more, according to the normal difficulty, I'm afraid only God can get by. ”

"The third and final reason. Starting on the fifth floor of the Tower of Despair, there will be a shop that sells items that can be used as a tool in the game room, and the only way to trade these items is with a staking. So you have to work hard to make more bets in the first four floors before you can buy them in the store, otherwise, after the fifth floor, you will challenge the game room without props, we old fritters call it 'naked war', and this kind of person generally ends up very dismal. ”

After listening to the Thousand-Eyed Giant's chattering explanation, Lu Lie automatically filtered out the mocking words that followed it. Although this thousand-eyed giant was talkative, the things he explained were still relatively detailed, and he answered the doubts in Lu Lie's heart in every detail. He nodded secretly: it seems that the rules set by this Tower of Despair are now in harmony. On the surface, it seems that the amount of bets to put in the gambling room depends on the individual's voluntariness, but in fact, if you don't bet some bets, you can't live at all.

The purple devil, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke: "Do you understand the rules of the game room now?" If you understand, just calm down and watch, the game of the baby-faced man has begun. ”
