Prison Island

Chapter 130 Spend money

Lingsha and Lin An teamed up to trap a group of Black Knights.

This created a negative points demon, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

But at the same time, the situation seemed a little clearer.

Lingsha and Lin An have undoubtedly formed an iron alliance, and they have already reached a cooperation in the first round.

Before Lin An entered the game, he disguised himself so as not to be recognized by his enemies.

So Lingsha didn't recognize him either, and they probably recognized each other through private chat in the room later.

Then Lingsha told the other party that he was 10, so Lin An gave his 8 to Lingsha to recognize. The two sides exchanged identities and cooperated with each other.

Everyone thought that Lin An was number 10, and Lin An accepted it. Naturally, they would not think that Ling Sha was number 10.

"Tsk... I actually matched you with such good teammates."

The swamp crocodile looked a little ugly. Lingsha and Lin An were die-hard fans, and there was not much difference between them and the double row.

In comparison, he seemed to be surrounded by a bunch of people, such as Steel Axe, Iron Hand, Tai Sui...

In fact, he didn't know any of them. They all approached him and he accepted them. God knows what they were thinking.

There is only one viper that can be confirmed to be from the Yakuza, but it has never been seen in real life.

but……

"Zero Kill, as a 10, you can just find a robot to pair up with. Why do you have to make such a big fuss just to trick a Black Knight?"

"Haha, you pushed another person to my side..."

Swamp Crocodile sneered. Although he couldn't figure out the true thoughts of the people around him, at least on the surface, most of them had become Zero Kill's opponents.

On the Zero Kill side, there were only Lin An and Rocket Head.

But Rocket Head always got the cold shoulder for his efforts, and for some reason Zero Kill never liked him.

In addition, when Zero Kill faced Viper and Black Knight, it was a situation of "either me or you, either you or me".

My goodness, she turned the situation into 6V3, or even 7V2.

Are you really that stubborn?

Zero Kill said calmly, "As 10, you just find a robot to match?"

"If you still believe this kind of thing, it means you don't understand this game at all."

Swamp Crocodile sneered: "Really? You know how to play? This move of yours has reduced the number of points that can be circulated on the field by a lot."

"In my opinion, the essence of this game lies in the halftime break, and the matchmaking is to let us earn points in harmony, so that the benefits of playing will be maximized."

"The more points the better. It doesn't matter whose pocket the points are in at the beginning. What matters is who can take them out in the end."

"But now..."

He glanced at the Black Knight, and now there was a troublemaker on the field.

This means that everyone will have to start racking their brains during the pairing process, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty. Why bother?

Just let the Black Knight get the points, and then kill him in a duel to get the points, isn't that enough?

You can get revenge and earn more points at the same time, so why make someone lose points?
However, Zero Kill said, "Say whatever you want, you will understand."

The swamp crocodile frowned.

At this time, Viper walked up to him and said, "Brother Swamp Crocodile, I am Viper, the captain of the ninth squad of the Yakuza."

Swamp Crocodile asked him, "Why didn't you follow me? Why did you run to Rocket Head?"

Viper said hurriedly: "He tried to win me over, so I disguised myself as a Han Chinese. I didn't expect that Lingsha would see through me with his questions."

Swamp Crocodile called to the others: "Come here, let's go to the room and talk."

All at once, groups of six entered the room.

Only Lingsha, Lin An and Huojiantou were left outside.

However, Lingsha pulled Lin An into the room, turned around and said to Rocket Head: "Let's talk for a while, you stay outside and don't let anyone get close."

Rocket Head was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Yes, I will complete the mission."

After entering the room, the two chatted in the corner.

Lin An said, "Sister Lingsha, is it really a good idea to offend so many people at the same time? The six of them are a gang."

Lingsha sneered: "They are just a bunch of scattered sands. They all have their own agenda."

"The more we cooperate, the more we cooperate, the more we cooperate."

"Quality is more important than quantity. I am lucky to have you in this round."

Lin An hurriedly said: "It's my luck, Sister Lingsha."

Lingsha Yixiao: "With a hardcore duo like us, this game will be much easier for us."

"So there is no doubt that we will have many enemies."

"Besides you and Rocket Head, there is no one else who has anything to do with me."

"The rest of the people are from Neptune Port, so there's nothing to offend."

Lin An pondered, "If we count the Japanese at the beginning, and this game is only about relationships, then we are 3 to 7?"

Zero Kill shrugged: "Rocket Head is not a good guy either. I suspect that he is on my side on the surface, but actually wants to kill me."

"Really?" Lin An said solemnly.

Ling Sha narrowed his eyes and said, "He has too good a temper. Our relationship is just superficial. At best, we can be vague allies."

"Given my attitude towards him, a normal person would have turned hostile long ago."

"But he is willing to endure it all the time and has no temper at all. God knows what he is thinking? I don't trust this kind of person at all."

Lin An frowned: "In that case, wouldn't it be just the two of us? Would the military competition system be so compatible?"

Lingsha said, "Plus, I didn't recognize you at the beginning, and I thought I was at a disadvantage, so I decisively killed the Japanese, and then wanted to get rid of that Taisui."

"But when you contacted me just now, it made me realize that because you were selected, there were fewer people for me to compete for."

Lin An tilted his head and said, "One die-hard ally is worth two, or even three vaguely neutral allies."

"But it would be too much to fight against four, so the military struggle system should have arranged a vaguely neutral ally for you to win over."

"You said Rocket-Head isn't trustworthy either. Is that really just the two of us?"

Lingsha looked towards Room A and murmured, "He must have sneaked into the other side..."

"Do you know that Iron Hand?"

Lin An shook his head.

"Then...what about Tai Sui?" Ling Sha asked again.

Lin An still shook his head.

Lingsha smiled and said, "That Taisui may have seen through our trick just now."

"He knows I'm number 10."

Lin An tilted his head: "Him? How could it be... Our cooperation is perfect."

"No one knew we knew each other at the time, so how could he possibly have thought of us swapping identities?"

Zero Kill shrugged: "I don't know, maybe you think you are number 10 and it's too easy to recognize it."

"If he wants to cooperate with us later, just ask him directly."

"Next, let's break up the opposing team."

"I'll fight the Swamp Gator straight up!"

Lin An was shocked: "Directly king against king?"

"A fight in the first round?"

Lingsha smiled coldly: "What kind of fight is this? It can be a draw. Let me test his skills first."

"The point is to provide everyone with a chance to gamble."

Lin An was confused: "But Sister Zero Killer... there are only three 4-point players now. Me, you, and Swamp Crocodile."

"That is to say, we are the only ones who are qualified to gamble at the table. Others dare not place bets easily."

The rules are very clear... the points bettors have to be even. If a player is unable to make up the bet, they will be deemed to have withdrawn from the bet and the points bet will go into the prize pool.

That is to say, A bet on a win of 1 point, B bet on a loss of 1 point, and C bet on a win of 2 points, then A and B must add 1 more point to equal the number of points bet by C.

If A bets 4 points and others cannot come up with that many points, they will be deemed to have withdrawn from the bet, but the points already bet will not be refunded.

If nothing had happened, five players would have gotten 4 points in this round, and all five of them would have been able to play gambling.

As a result of their operation, the Black Knight, No. 1, directly lost five points, and No. 9 only got 1 points because he lost No. 2.

There are only three players with 4 points.

Lingsha raised his lips and said, "What if I bet on myself to win by 4 points?"

Lin An was surprised and said, "The Swamp Crocodile must have bet on a 4-point win, or a draw. To be safe, bet on a draw. It will be easier to maintain a draw, as he only needs to drag it out with you for minutes."

Lingsha looked at Lin An and said, "If you are still eyeing the game and haven't placed any bets, then he will definitely bet on a tie."

"But what if you also bet on 4 points, betting on me to win?"

"Huh?" Lin An widened his eyes and thought, is Ling Sha crazy?

That means they bet all 8 points, betting that zero kills can kill the swamp crocodile.

"Are you sure you can beat him?"

Lingsha said: "Didn't I say it? I want a draw."

"Ah? But it's a draw, you and I both lost 8 points!" Lin An said excitedly.

Zero Kill smiled crazily, "That's why Swamp Crocodile will definitely win by betting 4 points."

"Do you think it's that easy to keep the score? From his perspective, you and I have already put in 8 points and bet on me to win."

"This is the will to win, like a madman who is ready to fight to the death at the beginning of the game."

"If he had the mentality of keeping peace, he would probably have flipped over."

"So he would definitely bet on himself to win and would not dare to bet on a draw."

Lin An thought about it carefully and realized that this was the truth.

In the eyes of the swamp crocodile, the two of them must want to win by betting like this.

Facing a powerful opponent who is determined to kill him with a single all-in, how could he dare to defend the tie?

Maintaining a tie means that he cannot kill the opponent. Whether he is killed or the opponent kills him, he loses.

Even if there is a kill inheritance, all the points for zero kills are used to buy yourself a win, so if you kill her, you will only get zero points.

All the points of the swamp crocodile were bought and tied, which was also zero points.

Facing a player who is determined to win the all-in game with a zero kill, and who is madly fighting him with blood for blood and life for life, how difficult will it be for him to maintain a draw?

It’s better to just give it a try and bet all in on yourself to win.

It’ll depend on real ability to see who kills whom!

In this way, Swamp Crocodile bets on himself to win by 4 points, while Zero Kill bets on himself to win by 8 points.

The most important thing is that there is no fourth person to bet on a tie, because without a fourth person there are 4 points.

Lin An frowned, "What if Swamp Crocodile splits the bets? He buys 2 points to tie, and then buys another 2 points to win."

Lingsha laughed: "Then he is not even with me. If he bets separately, then each of his bets must reach 4 points to be even with me."

"It's impossible to separate the chips and still have them be even. If we didn't bet and he bet 2-2, then the 2-point player would also be able to enter the game."

“Similarly, if he opens 1 and 3 and splits his stakes, then players with 1 point can also enter.”

"And once I go all in and hit the 4 points, all of his chips will go into the prize pool, and he will have to go all in and bet on one as well."

Lin An nodded. If the players place bets separately, then the other players only need to match the score of his single bet.

Otherwise, as long as one person has a lot of points, he can bet on all three options of win, loss and draw in every game, and others cannot participate, then this link is meaningless.

The cost of splitting the bets must be that players with fewer points can also participate. "And... you actually want a tie? If no one bets on a tie... won't that mean the game is lost?" Lin An was surprised.

Lingsha raised his head and said, "I want the game to end! I want the three of us to win all 12 points, and all of them will go into the prize pool for the next duel!"

"Hiss!" Lin An took a breath of cold air.

Just to get rid of the bureau? Even if you kill the swamp crocodile, you would never think of that.

Take their 8 points, force the Swamp Crocodile's 4 points to be eliminated, and then tie the game, bringing the prize pool to 12 points in one wave!
1 point equals 12 indulgence points, that’s !

With so many indulgences in the prize pool, wouldn't the other players go crazy?
Originally, they were not eligible to gamble in this round, so they could only watch the three players with 4 points place their bets.

As a result, the player with 4 points gave away all his points, so now it is the turn of the player with 2 points to be happy, right?

There will only be two possible duels for the second game, so the players with 2 points may place their bets separately to ensure they can share the money, with 1 point on each side, so that the players with 1 point can also participate in the money sharing.

By then, no matter whether there is an alliance or not, it’s 12, and everyone will want to share this money!

Lin An looked at Lingsha and said, "Sister, you are really spending too much money to break the superficial unity of the other side!"

Lingsha looked around and seemed to have seen the silent cheers.

"Although Swamp Crocodile hasn't figured out the true essence of this game, one thing he said is correct..."

“It doesn’t matter who gets the points at the beginning, what matters is who can take them out in the end.”

"And even if I get zero points, what does that matter?"

"Haha, indulgences are bastards!"

She has crazy eyes and treats money like dirt.

All the points gained in the first round were given away in the backhand, which shows extraordinary courage.

It seemed as if even if she gained nothing in the end, she still wanted to stir up trouble in this game.

Lin An swallowed his saliva and said, "Sister Lingsha, you are worthy of being a cyan player."

"This is to break everyone up and make them crazy for profit... In this case, a hardcore combination like the two of us will be more useful."

Lingsha's lips curled up slightly: "This game restricts players from entering other rooms at will, which means that you can't force a team."

"After this battle, God knows how many more small groups will emerge."

“I’m looking forward to their performance in order to get a share of the money in the second duel.”

……

In Room A, the swamp crocodile said some nice words.

Count the rampant killing of zero people and win over everyone to advance and retreat together.

"Once the six of us form an alliance, we will basically be in control of the situation."

"If everyone is spread out in six rooms, it means there are six numbers on the table."

“Each of them can make a match that is in their best interest, and if they don’t kill them, it will be difficult to play because they lack digital information.”

Many people expressed that they would honestly disclose their numbers.

A happy scene.

The Black Knight said grimly: "Six numbers, basically control the situation. We will let them taste the taste of negative points when the time comes."

However, the swamp crocodile shook his head and said, "No, I still say that the essence of the game lies in the halftime break."

"As for the pairing phase, everyone should try to create more overall points!"

"If I get number 10, I will only pair up with robots and won't cheat anyone."

His statement was very upright. The Black Knight opened his mouth but said nothing.

Others also said yes, but some of them looked a little unnatural.

Gao Xin narrowed his eyes and thought that this swamp crocodile was really greedy.

Indeed, the more overall points, the more points the final winner can get.

But isn’t the swamp crocodile a little too naive?
For this game, how could the organizer allow players to safely score points during the matchmaking process?
No matter how fierce the fighting is, the final winners will really... gain too much.

If you get number 10, you can find a robot to pair up with?
Do you really think that robots...will not refuse?

After thinking about it, Gao Xin decided to maintain his straightforward personality and directly pointed out: "Brother Swamp Crocodile, are you serious?"

"That's AI, not just a playmate machine."

"If No. 10 can't find a human pit, he will look for a robot to pair up with. Then what is the purpose of the rule that 'if No. 10 has no pair, he will be considered No. 1'?"

"The organizers are not here to do charity, right?"

Swamp Crocodile was not surprised. Apparently, he had thought about this question as well. He just said, "I know what you mean. This is the truth."

"But this kind of potential rule needs to be tested to be confirmed."

"So I've been emphasizing that No. 10 should come out on his own and look for a robot to pair up with, just to see if the robot will refuse."

"You also saw that when Lin An went to match with G, he was not rejected."

Gao Xin said: "Because Lin An is number 8, Zero Kill is number 10."

Swamp Crocodile immediately said, "How could we know at that time? Everyone thought that Lin An was a 10, and he himself admitted it."

"In this case, he is number 10 in the AI's perspective, and the pairing has been agreed to, right? Unless..."

At this point, he was stunned.

The others were also shocked and looked at each other.

Steel Axe couldn't help but say, "Unless the AI ​​has opened its eyes!"

Everyone looked solemn. It was not impossible.

AI opens its third eye and knows other people’s identities!

At least, we know who number 10 is!
In this way, the AI ​​can perfectly avoid No. 10, to ensure that No. 10 either goes to pit the player, or has no one to pair with, and regards itself as No. 1.

It is very likely that the organizers designed it this way, which is very consistent with their nature.

It also perfectly explains the rule that 'once No. 10 is not paired, it will be considered No. 1'.

This is what forces player No. 10 to cause trouble, to find ways to lie, to cheat, and to defraud other players.

At the same time, this also means that someone will lose points in every round!
"Hiss...someone loses points in every round, and the best result is that number 10 loses points?"

"That's right... It must be like this. This is consistent with the difficulty of advanced games."

The swamp crocodile looked solemn. The organizer arranged the robot for a purpose, and it must be more than just a playmate.

We are all smart people and it becomes clear in an instant.

To the point that various things related to robots have been considered.

Gao Xin continued: "Another point, what if the robot draws number 10?"

Swamp Crocodile frowned and said, "Then AI will lie too!"

Gao Xin nodded. "That's right. Robot No. 10 will definitely not be so foolish as to tell us it is No. 10. It will definitely mislead us."

“When the time comes, when there is a conflict between the players and the robots, who should we believe?”

Everyone was silent. If you didn’t know this, you would definitely believe the robot.

But now that I know all this, do I have to... trust the players?
I’m afraid...it’s hard to say.

In this game, they not only have to guard against player No. 10, but also have to guard against whether the robot is No. 10... It's really driving their brains crazy.

Besides, wouldn't the players with other numbers cheat?
For example, number 5 is the most difficult to find a pair unless there are two duplicate 5s.

Once there is no pairing, the number 5 alone is too small. It is easy to become the last one and then lose 1 point.

Would it disguise itself as another number in order to pair up with the number 4?
Once these are taken into account, the game becomes very difficult to play.

"Ahh... I really want to just rush into someone else's room."

Steel Axe said irritably, "This way, as long as we have half the people, we can control the situation perfectly. We can just force a one-on-one fight and enter the room of the other half, and we can ensure that the numbers within the players are fully known."

Gao Xin looked at this guy from the Viking gang and thought... don't try to get yourself killed.

The viper next to him said sinisterly, "No, the rules restrict breaking into other people's rooms to prevent us from doing that."

"Of course, if you want to do this forcefully, you can do it. You will just be electrocuted and become stiff. As long as everyone is united enough and doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to do something shady, it will be fine."

As he said this, he glanced at Gao Xin's broken arm.

Gao Xin still has only one arm and looks very miserable.

He was electrocuted and nearly killed by Zero Kill.

This is a bloody example. Unless there are only a few people left at the end and they are united enough to work together, it is impossible for them to take the risk and break into someone else's room.

"Fuck, why did you point this out?"

"Wouldn't it be nice for us all to win together? Working together to create more points will benefit everyone."

The swamp crocodile glared at Gao Xin in annoyance.

Gao Xin's words made everyone understand the rules of question-and-answer pairing.

In fact, some people in the crowd had already figured it out, but they didn't point it out.

Especially in the first round just now, except for Lingsha, no one else caused any trouble, it was quite harmonious.

Now it's okay, everything has been talked out.

Even if you don't want to cause trouble, you still have to be wary of these things. Who knows what others are thinking?

After all the defense, the group of six people he had just gathered was on the verge of collapse.

It is said that six people share intelligence and six numbers control the situation, but once one person causes trouble in the next round, the entire team will fall apart.

Gao Xin smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, sorry, let's just forget about this and pretend we never thought about it..."

“Six people work together to maximize the points created.”

"Why bother about who has more and who has less? Don't you think so?"

The corner of the swamp crocodile's mouth twitched. This kid stole his lines!

The Black Knight had negative points, and at this moment he said coldly: "You are the one who set the questions, this round has nothing to do with you, it's easy!"

Gao Xin said hastily: "I don't have any ambitions. This is my first time playing a military battle, and I just want to go back alive."

"Please let me be the next question setter. I'll take care of it all!"

"Just let me keep getting zero points until the end!"

Everyone was in a dull mood, but the person who set the question seemed to be having an easy time.

The mentality is different from others. As long as you are not greedy and just act as the person who sets the questions, you can get through this game.

Just like a host, he watched them fighting each other.

At this moment, some people are wondering whether they should compete with Gao Xin for the qualification of setting questions in the next round?
Also protect yourself for a round?
Let's see how everyone plays in the next round, sit back and watch the fight, and collect some information?
However, it may not be possible to secure a full round, because they have points!

If you have points, you might be challenged in a duel. Gao Xin can be so relaxed because he has zero points.

The Black Knight looked at Gao Xin, thinking...

Since I have negative five points, it is meaningless to try to be the one who sets the questions, and I would just waste a round of catching up.

So anyone can be the question setter, except him.

Hmm? Wait a minute...

The black knight suddenly trembled all over, staring at Gao Xin, his face changed drastically.

Seeing this, Gao Xin looked at him and blinked his left eye at him.

The Black Knight was a very dark black man, and although his face changed drastically at this moment, ordinary people could not really tell his expression.

He just opened his mouth, seemed to be about to say something, and finally said nothing.
