clown game

Chapter 167 Story Two

In this delicate atmosphere of embarrassment, curiosity, and confusion, the old-fashioned TV finally spoke:
"Game start

Participants, chips held by Chen Xiao: 350 points

Participants, chips held by Yuto Tsujido: 410 points

"

As soon as the voice fell, the emoji on the screen disappeared, and then a picture of a city overlooking a city from the sky appeared. From the numerous buildings, it can be seen that this is a crowded and busy Western city in the early 20th century.In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the fog shrouded every corner of the street.

Like the beginning of every movie, after letting the audience know the era and approximate location of the story, the camera starts to move, passing through several thin green belts and dense towering buildings, and finally drilled into an old place. The window of the old apartment, and then the picture was frozen at the second after entering the window.

So from this angle, you can only see the small living room of this house.On the left side of the screen, there is a sofa chair for one person, and in front of it is a TV that can keep up with the times. Some leftovers that had time to clean up, these few small furniture have already occupied most of the area of ​​the living room, and on the other side of the picture, there are two closed doors. If you guessed correctly, one of them is the bedroom, and One room should be the toilet.

The camera froze for about a second, then moved again, it passed through the keyhole of a door by the wall, and came to an extremely messy bedroom, the kind that was very lazy, didn't like to take a shower, and Everyone should be able to imagine what the bedroom of a single middle-aged man would look like.

And on the bed in the bedroom, there was a man in his thirties, with a western face, messy hair and a beard with sideburns. It seemed that he hadn't taken care of himself for a long time.

At this time, the characteristic neutral sound of the TV also sounded again.

"This man's information is worth 10 chips. After purchase, it will be sent to the buyer's mobile phone."

"Oh~" Chen Xiao nodded slightly. It turned out that the so-called "story elements need to be purchased" meant this.

As soon as he thought of this, his opponent Tsujido-kun asked, "Is this person related to the story of this competition?"

I have to say, his question is very right, the screen just started less than 1 minute, such a person came out, who knows he is the protagonist, the boss is still the old king next door, if it has nothing to do with the story, then the bargaining chip is not In vain.

However, the answer Tsujido-kun got was: "This question requires 3 chips, and I will only give you "yes" and "no" answers."

"Ah?" He questioned with squinted eyes: "Does this also cost a bargaining chip? Then can I save this person's information and buy it later?"

Sure enough, the answer he got was:
"This question is worth 2 points."

"くらぇ!~(Damn it~)" Tsujido cursed in a low voice. (Everyone speaks Chinese from now on, don't be naughty!)

at this time
"Can we not buy the story elements at the time, and save them for later?" Chen Xiao asked the same question again before the other party finished speaking, and quickly added: "I am willing to pay two chips! "

"Okay~" The TV replied, and the next second, Chen Xiao's cell phone rang, and the question displayed on it was the question he just asked, and the message below also displayed
"Can't"

Three words.

Moreover, in the upper right corner of the phone, the 350 representing chips has also become 348.

"Hey hey——" Chen Xiao finished reading the answer, raised his head and showed a disgusting smile at Tsujido-kun
The other party frowned: "I have a proposal."

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Chen Xiao responded.

Hiroto put on a look of thinking hard: "It seems that there are still many rules of this game that have not been clarified, such as the question you asked just now, and what will happen if all the chips are spent? , and even whether the chips between you and me can be traded. Wait! In short, before the rules are clarified, there are too many variables in this game. This is a situation that neither you nor I want to see, so I propose, You and I each take turns to ask a question about the rules, and tell each other the answer when we get the answer, so that the game is fair."

"Oh? How do you know that the rules I told you are correct?" Chen Xiao asked with interest.

The other party seemed to have thought of this question a long time ago, and immediately asked the TV: "Can we watch each other's mobile phone screens?"

"Questions are worth 2 points."

"Pay~" Hiroto interrupted before the TV finished speaking, and then his cell phone rang
He looked down, and then said: "As I thought, we can look at each other's mobile phones, so there is no such thing as cheating on each other." After speaking, he turned his mobile phone to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao is not a fool, so he quickly averted his gaze
"Okay~" Hiroto saw that the other party was so cautious, smiled helplessly, and said to the TV: "You can announce the answer to the question just now~ This should not be considered a new question."

"Of course not, and the rules do not prohibit both parties from watching each other's mobile phone screen if the other party agrees." The TV quickly said

Yuto Tsujido still kept his mobile phone in his hand, and nodded slightly, which meant: "Look. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

From this point of view, his proposal is indeed a good way to understand the game mechanism.

But Chen Xiao... just laughed again.

"I reject!"

"Okay, let's? What did you say?" The other party was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you refuse? This is a win-win proposal. How can we compete without knowing the rules?"

He tried his best to persuade him, but Chen Xiao obviously didn't even pay attention to the other party, "I want to read this person's information, take 10 chips!" He said to the TV, and shook his hand in a timely manner, as if It's the same as tipping the waiter.

Soon, his cell phone rang.

"Well, he seems to be a failed man with no bright spots in his life." Chen Xiao whispered after seeing this profile: "Hehe. He is full of stories. This person may be the "protagonist"."

On the other side, Tsujido-kun, who was still waiting for Chen Xiao to change his mind with his mobile phone, felt angry when he saw the grinning expression of this guy.

"Hey, I want to see this person's file too." He put down his phone and yelled at the TV.
