People are gambling crazily, their charm is super S

It doesn't matter even if you lose.

Next, all twenty-four players received their chips.

The number of chips that follow is relatively ordinary, basically in the range of one or two hundred chips, and none is particularly high.

The masked man's voice rang out: "Everyone has collected their chips, so now let's play the first mini-game."

"I'm sure many of you are dissatisfied with the number of chips you have. There are a total of twenty-four people present. Everyone must participate in a two-on-two battle, betting any number of chips. Of course, the minimum number of chips required for this game is fifty."

"You can choose your opponent at will, as long as both parties agree. Those who don't participate will be eliminated directly. A small number of people present have exactly 50 chips, which means that if they lose, they will be eliminated directly."

The cruel words of elimination brought a brief silence to the scene. Those who could appear here were all second-generation people, who had come smoothly to where they are now and had a bright future. No one wanted to die here.

Those with more than fifty chips breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that even if they lost at the beginning, they would not be eliminated directly.

The person who only had fifty coins looked not so happy.

Of course, for the only exception, Naoki, this rule needs some special explanation for her.

Naoki raised his hand: "Well, what if I only have one chip?"

The masked man smiled and said, "No matter how many chips are left, as long as you go all-in, the outcome can be determined. This is the rule of Texas Hold'em. It's the same here. Bet one of your chips and you can still play the game."

"But if you lose, of course you'll be eliminated immediately."

"but."

The masked man paused and said, "Of course, your opponent only needs to bear the risk of the chips you bet. If he wins, he only gains one chip, and if he loses, he only loses one chip."

Naoki raised her eyebrows, feeling instantly uneasy. The intense coldness made her feel like she was in a world of ice and snow, or on a steep cliff.

Countless malicious gazes appeared, like a pack of hungry wolves, chilling the bones.

For players with only fifty chips, they would have been eliminated if they lost.

However, a new prey appeared before them that could keep them alive. If they could fight against the girl in front of them, even if they lost, they would only lose one chip. This was definitely an excellent choice to survive this round.

That’s right, although the masked man said that the chips in this round of game would be circulated among each other, for them, saving their lives was certainly more important than taking risks to earn chips.

The chips are their lives, and only a few people have the courage to bet their lives in the first round.

What's more, even if they can't make it to the end, they may be able to hold on until their family members come to rescue them.

The eyes of these people have already revealed their thoughts nakedly.

Naoki sighed and looked at Kirari.

The other party's face has shown little interest since the beginning. After all, the capital is too much, and there is no fun at all.

Even if you go all-in in this round, there is no risk of losing at all.

What's more, there are probably few opponents who dare to go all-in on her.

"Everyone is clear about the rules, so now let's start choosing opponents for the duel."

In an instant, Naoki was surrounded by seven or eight people who rushed up.

Most of these people only have fifty chips, but some have a hundred chips.

It seems that the majority of people don't want to take risks.

Those who have a hundred chips will not necessarily be eliminated in this round unless they bet all the hundred chips, so those who have more chips did not rush towards Naoki like these people without the determination.

They looked at each other, as if wondering who would be the better choice.

Of course, if you only bet fifty coins, it will be the same no matter who you are.

Unlike the lively atmosphere here with Naoki, there was no one around Kirari and no one wanted to be her opponent.

After all, no matter who it is, there is a risk of being eliminated directly when facing her.

……

"Miss, you are so cute. I think you look a lot like my cousin. She has big, beautiful eyes like you."

"Miss, can I be your opponent? It doesn't matter to you who the opponent is, it's all the same whether you win or lose. So why not pick the one you like the most? I think I look pretty good."

"Sister, don't listen to them. They look shifty, unlike me. I'm not very good at gambling. You will definitely win if you bet with me."

Naoki:……

Unexpectedly, a poor person like her would be sought after by a group of second-generation people here.

Although these people are all for their own interests.

However, this feeling is pretty good.

Naoki looked back at Kirari, only to find that Kirari was also looking at her, with an unknown idea in her eyes.

The older sister who called herself sister was right. Since she had to choose an opponent, of course she had to choose the weakest one.

However, gambling ability cannot be identified with the naked eye, so generally only the one that looks slow can be chosen.

So, according to this strategy, should I choose the hesitant ones? Since I am hesitant, it means I lack confidence.

However, from another perspective, those who run the fastest may also be the ones with the worst gambling ability, and they want to find her to save their lives even if they lose.

Just when Naoki was about to use the system to scan for gambling abilities, a girl in white came up from behind.

Her emotions were obviously calmer than the others. She said, "If you want to advance to the next round, choose me. If you choose me, I will deliberately lose to you later."

Naoki:!

The others surrounding Naoki were startled, then came to their senses.

Yes, even if you lose, it's just one chip. Since you have to survive, even if you gain one chip or lose one chip in this round, the difference in the number of chips is only 51 and 49.

If you have to bet 100 coins in the next round of the game, what is the difference between 51 and 49? You will be eliminated if you lose.

Rather than that, it would be better to pay the price of a chip now to ensure that you can pass the first round.

"Miss, I just felt that you look very much like my cousin. Believe me, choose me, I will definitely lose to you."

"No, pretty girls are the best at deceiving people. Don't listen to her. I actually know her, and she doesn't have a cousin at all. Choose me!"

Naoki:……

The girl in white successfully raised the bidding price to the point where she lost to herself. From this perspective, it doesn’t matter who I choose?

Of course not. In this world, can we trust verbal promises?

These people can make promises now and then go back on their word when gambling later.

From this perspective, the girl in white who first suggested losing to him on purpose seemed more sincere.

However, there is no guarantee that she will do so.

However, the impression you give yourself is always better than that of those who follow the trend.

"Okay, I choose you."

Naoki walked up to the girl in white.

The other party was a little surprised, because after what she said just now, everyone else came forward to show off their linguistic charm, but she was not good at speaking, so she just stayed quietly in the back. She thought this girl might agree to others.

The girl in white lowered her gaze and said, "Okay."

……

On the other hand, seeing Naoki choose his opponent directly, Kirari felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Before it even started, hadn't this woman been begging me to take care of her?

Why did I choose another opponent at the beginning of the game?

As a classmate of mine and Lilixiang's sister, is there anyone less trustworthy than a stranger?

I had originally thought that if she begged me, I would take care of her. After all, she was the girl Lilixiang liked. Even if I wanted her to leave Lilixiang, it wouldn't be here. I would at least bring her back to reality completely and then talk about other things.

Naoki gave her a strange feeling. The way he chased her just now reminded her of her Tsinghua days.

But if you think that the other person is admiring you, the next moment his or her behavior seems to be that he or she does not take you seriously at all.

This feeling of being torn apart, this strange woman.

But isn't it interesting if you can't figure it out?

System: Momobami Kirari's favorability towards the host has increased by two points!

When the system's favorability notification sounded, Naoki felt a little dazed. He hadn't heard the notification for a long time.

No, ah, Kirari's favorability has finally turned positive again.

No, why did her favorability increase at this time? I was acting so cute and pitiful just now, but she didn't react. What is this woman thinking?

Unable to figure out the key to Kirari's sudden increase in favorability, Naoki was about to start the game again, so he simply put the matter behind him for the time being.

Chapter 85: Production Distribution Game, teased by Qi Luoli.

As Naoki chose his own game partner, the others who had just gathered around him also dispersed to look for suitable opponents.

For those who only have 50 chips left, they will be eliminated if they lose just once, so they will naturally be very cautious in choosing their targets.

However, in this round of the game, since everyone must play the game, the 24 people are paired up in pairs, and no one will be left behind.

But those who come later naturally have no choice.

Gambling tables suitable for two people appeared out of nowhere in the hall again.

Such a scene no longer surprises everyone.

Everyone was wondering what kind of game would be next.

For Naoki personally, since he had too few initial chips, he would be eliminated if he lost this round, but even if he won, he would only have two chips, which really didn't feel any use compared to those who had hundreds of chips.

The girl in white in front of him seemed to be a more reserved person. She didn't say much while following Naoki to the table.

At this time, the other teams had not yet completed their pairing, so Naoki took the initiative to strike up a conversation in order to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Um, are you a student too?"

This question is a bit redundant. Judging from his age, he is obviously a student.

"Ah."

The girl in white hummed lightly, which made Naoki feel even more ignored. She was not his target anyway, so he simply kept silent.

After about ten minutes, no matter whether they were satisfied with their opponents or not, everyone had formed a team.

As everyone stood in front of the gambling table, another machine appeared on the table.

Screens appeared in various areas of the hall, and no matter where they stood, everyone could hear the masked man begin to explain the rules.

"Production and distribution are two important links in economic activities. The inspiration for the mini-game we'll play in the first round also comes from this. You can see the machine on the table."

"Each player starts with five coins. The process of inserting coins into the machine during each round of the game is production."

"After both parties put coins into the machine, the machine will produce double the number of coins they put in. Once the production is complete, it's time for the distribution process."

Naoki saw two buttons in front of him.

"As you can see, everyone can choose to cooperate or defect. If both parties choose to cooperate, they will split the coins produced by the machine equally."

“If one person chooses to cooperate and the other chooses to defect, then the defector will receive all the coins produced in this round.”

The masked man chuckled twice, "This is very realistic."

"However, if both parties choose to defect, no one will receive any coins in this round, and the coins invested in production will also be lost."

"That's basically the rules. Finally, here are the victory conditions. The game lasts five rounds, and the side with the most coins at the end wins. However, there's an additional rule: to win this game, you must have at least twenty coins at the end."

"Also, if both teams end up with the same number of coins, they both lose the game. Finally, I think I don't need to remind you that even if you don't invest any coins in the production process, you're still allowed to participate in the distribution."

Naoki stared at the machine in front of him. This game was a game of choosing to cooperate or betray at the right time. It was a game of strategy.

Although it is not explicitly stated, it is estimated that more than one coin can be put in each round. For the first round, putting in five coins at the same time and then cooperating will achieve the highest production efficiency.

Of course, you can also choose not to give out any and betray.

In this case, if the opponent foolishly puts in five coins and cooperates, as long as you choose to betray, you can instantly double the output of ten coins to twenty coins.

Directly win the game.

Considering this consequence, if both parties choose to maximize their interests, invest all their assets, and then defect, the machine will swallow all the coins, and both parties will be eliminated. That is the worst outcome.
