Chapter 321: Redemption Island (10)
Chapter 321: Redemption Island (10)
The river god is very good at playing games.
I'm not afraid that what he says are all lies, I'm just afraid that there is some truth mixed in his lies.
It's like there's a real insider among a group of fake insiders.
"If the traitor fails in his mission, his fate will be disastrous. So you see, I'm being very kind. I've created such a great victory condition for the traitor."
The River God subconsciously wanted to touch Xiao Huai's cheek, as if gently reminding him - if you are a traitor, you should thank me.
Xiao Huai avoided him without hesitation, smiled coldly and said, "Why should I believe you?"
What is the probability that someone who has lied once will lie again?
The River God calmly withdrew his hand, narrowed his eyes, and said calmly, "I am a man of my word."
"Oh?" Xiao Huai's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Since you say you are a trustworthy person, are you willing to sign this to prove yourself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the River God saw the soul contract appearing beside Xiao Huai.
The River God's eyes shifted slightly, glancing at the contract. He twitched his knuckles slightly and patted his sleeves nonchalantly, with a hint of arrogance and disdain:
"Soul Contract? But... you're not qualified to ask me to sign it yet."
Although his voice was soft, it carried a barely perceptible chill, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Scammers hate signing agreements in black and white.
Just like those deadbeats who never write IOUs when they owe others money, and when the debt is collected, they have no way to defend themselves.
Xiao Huai didn't say anything, just gently hooked his fingers, and the soul contract disappeared.
After seeing the soul contract disappear, the River God smiled again, "Don't you think you might be the traitor?"
Xiao Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does it matter if I am or not?"
"You don't care?" There seemed to be a hint of surprise in the River God's tone.
Xiao Huai raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were open and clear, as if he didn't care at all.
"It's just a game, why should I worry?"
After hearing this, the river god was stunned for a moment.
Because he is too indifferent.
The River God had asked many players similar questions. Everyone's face was either filled with fear or greed. They were all thinking about what they could get during or after the game. They were looking forward to and longing for everything.
But he is different.
He really treated the River God's game as an ordinary game.
He was not afraid, not worried.
After all, aren't games just for fun and entertainment?
The game seemed to be brought back to its most original definition in an instant.
No danger, no terror.
Soon, a genuine smile appeared on the River God's face, and he whispered to himself, "Very good, I like your answer very much."
The River God walked back and said, "Next, I will tell you the rules of the game "The Honest Woodcutter."
His voice echoed in the thick fog. "As long as your answers are consistent, you win this round. But if there's a disagreement—" He paused, "that means you lose the game."
After the river god finished speaking, the fog around him dissipated and his body slowly disappeared.
He left a sentence: "You have one chance to try it."
In less than two minutes, only a table, paper and pen remained where the river god had been.
Five tables, five players.
One? Or several?
When the fog cleared and the players looked at each other, some began to smile awkwardly.
"The trial game has begun. Players, please return to your seats and answer the questions."
"Answer sheet is visible only to you"
Preparation time: two minutes
Chen Chong frowned, and when Xiao Huai was about to go to his seat, he grabbed Xiao Huai's hand.
"Take a step to speak."
The others looked at the two of them but didn't pay much attention. They were all thinking about how to mess up the game without leaving any trace.
It's so simple, as long as one person makes the wrong choice, they can succeed.
The advantages of being an insider are huge.
After calling Xiao Huai aside, he whispered, "I... have a special identity..."
Before he even finished speaking, Xiao Huai said what he was going to say next.
"The insider, right?"
Chen Chong was startled. He lowered his voice, covered his mouth, and said in disbelief: "How did you know?"
Xiao Huai explained it to him in a few words.
Chen Chong nodded heavily, her face not looking good.
Xiao Huai said, "I just saw the question. Choose one of two options. What do you think they will do if it's a traitor?"
"There's a high probability that you'll choose the wrong answer." Chen Chong replied in a low voice.
Xiao Huai nodded, but then shook his head: "Not necessarily. All three questions must be consistent. Do you know how low the probability is?"
The possibility of mistakes and intentional mistakes cannot be ruled out, and several combinations of choices will appear.
At the same time, the game is fair.
Because, during the answering process, players can communicate with each other and determine the answers in advance.
Test the trust and humanity between each other.
How can they maintain consistency when they don't know each other?
"I'm going to choose all the correct answers later," Chen Chong said. "What about you?"
Xiao Huai just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Time is up. Please return to your seat and answer the questions. You can discuss the answers while answering."
"You have three minutes to answer the question. Good luck to everyone."
They returned to their seats and the first question was a math problem, and it was kindergarten level math.
"Question 13: 1+=?"
Option A: 15, Option B: 14
Feng Wu couldn't help but laugh after seeing the first question. "This is incredibly difficult. If I can't answer it correctly, it will be unforgivable."
Geng Hongyi also showed a confident smile on his face.
"That's right, who would choose A?"
The second question is simpler and directly asks what one plus one equals.
The third question was suddenly ridiculously difficult; it was a research-level astrophysics question.
After seeing this, everyone feels that the first two questions are just to make up the numbers, and the third question is really difficult.
They were frantically calculating on their scratch paper when, out of the corner of their eyes, they saw Xiao Huai had already written down the answer and was twirling his pen around in boredom.
Although Xiao Huai had already written down the answers and discussion was allowed during the answering process, the scene became unexpectedly quiet.
A group of people immediately became movie stars and began to perform their own roles.
They could have asked Xiao Huai directly for the answer, but no one spoke.
Everyone pretended to be calm, acting confident that they could make the right choice independently, and even looked happy that they had "come up with the answer themselves."
But behind the silence, what is hidden is nothing but the mental struggle between each other.
"Time is up, answer sheets are being collected."
The answer sheet disappeared in an instant, and after waiting for a long time, there was no system prompt sound.
Everyone else showed a hint of anxiety on their faces, but Xiao Huai suddenly began to doze off.
It seems that every time he does homework, he feels sleepy.
After all, studying and practicing questions is boring.
At the same time, a system voice sounded from my ears.
