Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Little Lychee continues to triumph.

He hadn't realized that he had just embarrassed himself again.

Although the little fool had absolutely no concept of making a fool of himself.

Yu Zhe also thoughtfully explained it to Qin Ruoke, who had never played it before.

"Xiao Ruoke, look, this game is not difficult at all. It's just rolling dice. You move forward a certain number of spaces depending on the number you roll. The rewards are calculated based on the events triggered on the spaces. We all start with a fixed amount of assets. Those who go bankrupt are eliminated. The last person left is the tycoon. Do you understand?"

"I understand, it sounds pretty simple."

Wow... you actually had assets at the start?

For Qin Ruoke, who started from scratch, this setting really felt very humane.

"Yu Zhe, how much are your starting assets?" Xiao Meng wanted to clarify the game settings first.

Yu Zhe chuckled twice and then took out a counter with an LCD screen from the storage room.

Then I entered the numbers.

"Each person starts with 200 million in assets."

"..."

16. This is bullying!

Two hundred million is acceptable.

Qin Ruoke was the most straightforward among them; she blurted out what was on her mind.

"If I had 200 million... could I choose to just stand by and watch from the start? That way, no matter who wins or loses, it wouldn't affect my status as a millionaire."

you do not say.

Why bother with 200 million in gaming? Wouldn't it be better to just deposit it in the bank?

Yu Zhe shook his head and said, "This two hundred million is not the same as that two hundred million. No need to say more, just try it and you'll see. Everyone, let's get to the starting point!"

After finishing his sentence, Yu Zhe walked directly to the Monopoly board.

的起点。

Everyone looked over and saw the words "Yu Zhe's Starting Point" clearly written on it.

Next to it are the words "Xiao Ruoke's Starting Point" and "Zixiao's Starting Point."

Wow, this is definitely 100% custom-made! You don't even need to ask about the rules; they're all crystal clear!

Little Lychee skipped and hopped to the starting line: "Brother Yuzhe, can I roll the dice first?"

"Of course," Yu Zhe said with a smile, "but good luck."

"..."

Little Lychee suddenly had a bad feeling, as if there was a trap.

But she won't back down now that she's already said it!

"Hey!"

Little Lychee picked up the dice, which was much bigger than her head, and threw it with all her might.

The die rolled a few times on the board and finally landed on the "six" face.

"Yay! A six right from the start! I'll definitely go the furthest with my first move!"

She happily moved six squares forward along the grid of the chessboard.

As she stopped, she looked down at her feet. The grid she was standing on was drawn rather abstractly, but she could tell that it depicted tall buildings.

"Brother Yuzhe, what does this mean?"

"Don't rush, wait for it to broadcast."

"?"

Little Lychee waited for a while, and suddenly music started playing from the grid beneath her feet, followed by a somewhat pleasant electronic synthesized sound.

"You started your company with 200 million yuan in assets, but you lost everything. Not only that, you also incurred a debt of up to 300 million yuan. You are now bankrupt."

"?"

Little Lychee has two questions!

Wow, this is high-tech! It can announce things automatically!

Wait... I'm bankrupt?!

Little Lychee turned around in disbelief and found Yu Zhe and the others covering their mouths and laughing.

"This can't be right! I have so many 200 million, what kind of business can lose 300 million right after starting up! I don't accept this!"

"Pfft... You're not convinced, but that's how the game is." Yu Zhe's laughter had just subsided. "That's why I said this two hundred million isn't that two hundred million, now do you believe me?"

However, even so, the probability of losing so much money in the first round is really not high.

Little Lychee, what an unlucky fellow.

As he spoke, he glanced at the screen next to him, where Xiao Lizhi's current holdings had changed from 200 million to negative 100 million.

Little Lychee hung her head dejectedly: "So... I've already been eliminated...?"

"Not yet. After bankruptcy, you can continue playing for three more rounds. If you don't recover positive assets within three rounds, you will be completely eliminated."

This game is so cruel, it's like killing someone and then destroying their spirit!

Everyone has come to realize that becoming a tycoon is not so easy; the initial two hundred million in assets will likely not last long.

"Brother, I'll go next."

"Okay, Zixiao, it's fine if you roll a six. Even if you roll the same square as Xiaolizhi, the event triggered may not be the same. It's completely random. You're unlikely to encounter an event as unlucky as her."

Little Lychee: So, with such a low probability, I actually managed to run into it without even realizing it?!

Zixiao threw the dice, which rolled for a while and then landed on the "three" side.

After moving forward three squares, the broadcast began.

"Your business profits and losses have balanced out, and you still have 200 million in capital. But you were incredibly lucky and found 50 million on your way home. The owner of the lost money, seeing your honesty, gave you all 50 million. Now your total assets are 250 million."

Little Lychee is furious.

You make money, you make money; but if you don't, do you expect to find money lying around?!

What era are we living in?! In the age of electronic payments, you can't expect to find money lying around?!

And it turned out to be worth 50 million?! What's even more outrageous is that who wouldn't want 50 million?!

Waaaaah, this game is so unfair!

Yu Che's next round was even simpler and more direct.

"Your management of the Su Group is effective and highly profitable. You double your initial investment with every transaction, and your total assets are now 400 million."

"Ha, of course."

Yes, that's right, that's what Yu Zhe is most confident about in this Monopoly game.

It actually records some information, and in whose turn it is, there is a chance to trigger events related to reality.

For example, Luo Xiaomeng's turn.

"You ran Xiaomeng Bakery and made a lot of profits, increasing your assets from 200 million to 230 million."

"My family's bakery is really valuable..." Xiao Meng was genuinely amazed when it announced its name! It was incredibly relatable!

The amount of money is just too much for most people to handle...

But Qin Ruoke's next move made her uneasy.

"You acquired Xiaomeng Bakery at a low price, your assets are now worthless, but you still own the bakery."

"..."

Xiao Meng looked over blankly: "Qin Ruoke... so you want to take over my family's shop...?"

"Don't confuse games with reality, hey!"

The voice message from Qi Xinye brought a smile to her face.

"The alliance between the two countries, Su and Qi, has yielded remarkable results, with assets increasing by one-third."

"If only it could go that smoothly..."

After all, this is something Qi Xinye has been longing for lately.

Xiao Zhe really put his heart into making this game. Although it's supposed to be random events, some of the content is probably pre-programmed, all to make everyone happier before the New Year.

Little Lychee: That can't possibly be pre-planned! Otherwise, how could there be the joy of going bankrupt in the first round!

The call then went to Yu Zhe.

Yu Zhe deliberately tossed the dice very high, and it bounced several times before finally landing on a "three," which was the same number as Zi Xiao.

The grid is wide, taking up two square meters.

The person is perfectly fine.

"Contestant number 3 gave you the 50 million they found for free, and you used it to start a business, generating a profit of 1 billion!"

"..."

Is it really that exaggerated?!

Yu Zhe only provided the general idea of ​​the game's content; the specific events were handled by the maids in his household.

So he didn't know exactly what he would encounter.

Yu Zhe looked at the asset display screen. Zi Xiao's 50 million had been cleared, while his own had been increased by 1 billion.

He glanced apologetically at Zixiao beside him, only to find that Zixiao was actually...quite happy?!

She clenched her little fist and smiled, "Great! You helped your brother! Great!"

You do have a bit of a competitive spirit!

There's really nothing we can do.
