Chapter 377 Card Search
Xia Shou reorganized the hotel's rules in his mind and determined the conditions for escape.

In order to leave the hotel safely, a person needs to collect a savings card with a value of 10,000 yuan. Staying in the room consumes the room card time, which also requires the purchase of a savings card.

At the beginning, everyone’s room card has a stay period of 24 hours.

"You seven people have been staying here for ten days. Have you purchased check-in time?" Xia Shou asked.

Li Ming shook his head: "No, sometimes we all left the room, and the time we saved was sporadic, and in the end we stayed for ten days.

If you want to buy check-in time, you must go to the first floor to process it. I have a 500-yuan savings card with me, and I just bought one hour in the lobby. "

Xia Shou thought for a while and asked, "How long will it take to collect 500 yuan?"

"It all depends on luck. Five hundred yuan is the largest denomination. You have to look for ten rooms before you can find a savings card, which usually has a hundred yuan in it.

Even if you search for hours, you may not be able to find one for five hundred yuan.

We calculated before that on average each person could only find 100 yuan per hour.

Unless you are very lucky, you have to work 20 hours outside to scrape together two thousand dollars to buy four hours of accommodation.

Working twenty hours and sleeping four hours won’t save you anything.”

At the end, Li Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

Anyone who hears this statistical result will find it absurd.

However, from Li Ming's description so far, Xia Shou also analyzed the correct rule to survive in this hotel with high cost performance, that is, multiple people living in one room.

Li Ming and his companions should have lived in one room to save time on room cards to the greatest extent. Otherwise, with their efficiency in finding savings cards, they would never have been able to last ten days.

If we calculate purely from a mathematical perspective, if one hundred people live in one room, they only need to stay in the room for 24 hours a day, and if one hundred people take turns to look for the cards, each person sleeps for eight hours and spends sixteen hours searching, then 160000 yuan can be saved in a day.

But even so, with 160,000 people, only 16 people out of 100 could escape from the hotel.

And this is a very extreme example. In reality, one room cannot accommodate a hundred people, and it is impossible for a hundred people to search a floor for a whole day. The amount of savings cards in the entire hotel should be very limited.

Xia Shou took a deep breath. The person who designed this rule was so vicious.

Of course, in this movie, this design can be considered exquisite.

There is no limit on the number of people who can stay in one room, which clearly encourages multiple people to live together.

But even if multiple people work together to collect cards, they cannot save enough for everyone to leave together, and there is only one outcome in the end.

Survivors will live together with other people at the beginning to accumulate their first pot of gold with the highest efficiency.

When they have saved enough money for one person to leave, they will become suspicious of each other, because it is obvious that it is impossible for everyone to get out with this efficiency. The best way is to kill others and plunder the fruits of their joint labor!

Ten thousand yuan alone may be enough to maintain the stability of a team, but when the amount reaches a certain level, the group will privately split into small groups.

Such rules mean that the survivors’ enemies are not only monsters and butchers, but other survivors are also potential enemies.

Xia Shou calculated that the amount of money needed for all of them to leave was as high as 40,000!

The room costs 500 yuan per hour, which is ridiculously expensive. Xia Shou doesn't want to live there anymore.

The most urgent task is to reunite with Su Yue, Wei Yu and the others. As for Brother Bai, he should be able to protect himself.

"Let's look for the card and the person at the same time. Do you know which floors have not been searched yet?" Xia Shou asked.

Li Ming shook his head: "I don't know, but no one cleans the room here, so if the furnishings in the room are messy, it is likely that someone has been here."

Xia Shou nodded: "Then we will start from the second floor and search upwards one floor at a time, but before we start, you need to take care of your hand." Li Ming was stunned, looked at his broken arm, shook his head and said: "It's okay, it has stopped bleeding a long time ago, and it doesn't hurt much now."

Li Ming paused, and in his mind came the stranger he met whose belly was ripped open, but who still ran with them for a whole morning before dying. He added: "In this hotel... it seems that it is not easy for people to die."

"I'm not going to bandage your wound, I'm going to give you an arm." Xia Shou said coldly, "It may be a little painful, just bear with it for a while."

Fifteen minutes later, Li Ming had a new arm.

To be honest, during the process of installing the arm, Li Ming even felt that Xia Shou had deceived him and that Xia Shou might be a butcher.

His body was held down so tightly by those transparent hands that he couldn't move at all. Then the psychic detective, like a worker screwing screws in a factory, placed the rusty iron bracket against the cut surface of his wound and screwed in the screws.

In just a few minutes, he fainted several times.

"How is it?" Xia Shou asked.

Li Ming's face was pale and he stared at his new arm with sweat on his forehead, and tried to move it.

Unbelievable!

He could actually operate such a simple mechanical structure with ease, and it also provided a special tactile feedback. It was a pity that the palm of this prosthetic hand was a circular saw. It would be better if it had five fingers.

"Let's go if we can. We need to be more efficient."

"Okay!" Li Ming nodded vigorously. He suddenly felt that there might be hope if he followed this person.

What happened half an hour later further proved Li Ming's judgment.

The card collection operation began. Xia Shou brought his new followers to the second floor and searched the guest rooms one by one. Li Ming wanted to split up to help Xia Shou, but Xia Shou said it was unnecessary.

As it turned out, there was no need for that. When Xia Shou opened the first guest room, Li Ming knew within thirty seconds that he had followed the right person!
The moment Xia Shou walked into the guest room, more than a dozen pairs of transparent ghost hands began to search in a divided manner. All the drawers of the wardrobe were opened in an orderly manner, and the books on the bookshelf were lifted into the air one by one and the pages were turned. Even if a savings card was sandwiched between the books, it would not be missed.

The bed sheets and quilt were lifted up, the duvet cover was opened, and a savings card was found and handed to Xia Shou.

It is in denomination of one hundred yuan.

"Lord Xia Shou, there is no more." Alice said respectfully.

"Next room."

Xia Shou turned around and left, and Li Ming immediately followed him with a dazed look on his face.

How long has it been since you entered the door? About two minutes?
They could only search ten rooms in an hour at most, and that was a very cursory search, turning over the quilts, pulling out the drawers, and looking under the bed. They could never be as meticulous as this ghost sister.

This is too strong!

If you follow this big brother, you can search at least thirty guest rooms in an hour. If you calculate it based on the average, it would be three hundred yuan!

Xia Shou walked quickly to the second room and said to Li Ming as he opened the door: "From now on, don't leave my side. You just need to remember the route to the elevator. I will search for your card."

"Yeah!" Li Ming nodded heavily, his body shaking with excitement.

The desire to survive, which had long been extinguished, now burned fiercely again.

Xia Shou had a calm expression. While watching Alice searching thoroughly, his brain was using his knowledge from movies to analyze the current situation.

He never forgot what those film experts had said hundreds of times:

"You have to remember that you are making a movie! You are making a great movie! No matter how bad things are, you have to look at them from the perspective of an audience! The same goes for the other way around!"
