This is a game that tests your mind-reading and decision-making abilities.
After hearing the rules of the game, most people fell into deep thought and did not take action immediately.
Naoki blinked and said, "Sister, this sounds like a very complicated game, but we already agreed that I would win this game. That way, you won't be eliminated, and we can both advance to the next round."
The girl in white didn't respond for a moment, then said after a while: "Well, it takes twenty coins to win, so in the first round we both put in five coins and choose to cooperate, so that we each have ten coins. In the second round, we both put in ten coins, so that you have twenty coins."
"After the third round, just put in a coin. I will lose to you and I will choose to cooperate. Then you can choose to betray me."
Naoki:……
After hearing what the girl in white said, Naoki sighed inwardly. It seemed that he couldn't win easily this time.
"Sister, can I trust you? Even though you said you would lose to me, I'm still a little worried."
Naoki wrung his hands, looking very worried.
"Sister, if you had betrayed me instead of cooperating, I would have lost."
The girl in white blinked her eyes and did not express her true feelings immediately. It seemed that she was not good at speaking as she had said before.
"Number Seventeen, since you've already chosen me, why not just trust me? Why are you still making these wild guesses?"
The girl in white's tone was a little cold, as if she was displeased at being suspected.
"If you continue to doubt me like this, I'll start to think I'm really going to lose to you."
When faced with such a threat, ordinary people might really choose to retreat cowardly and remain silent when faced with an overwhelming disadvantage.
After all, the expression of the girl in white doesn’t mean that there is really anything wrong with her. Anyone would get angry if they are suspected.
Rich second-generations like this often live in the spotlight and have poor tolerance. Their tempers are more likely to show their true colors when they are targeted.
"You said you were considering it, but in reality, you never thought about losing to me."
Naoki's smile faded, "That's evident from the strategy you just mentioned."
"If you want me to win, there's no need for cooperation in the first two rounds. If I choose to betray in the first round, I can get twenty coins and win."
"Such a simple method, yet you insist on making me wait until the third round to win. Your only reason is to get me to cooperate in the first round. Then, all you have to do is betray me, and you'll be the victor."
Naoki sighed again. "Why does it have to come to this? Just keep your promise and let me win. Then we can both advance to the next round, right?"
"Well, I just didn't think of this simple method."
Seeing that the girl in white was still trying to cover up her lie, Naoki said simply, "If that's the case, then you should choose to cooperate by throwing all five coins in the first round. Of course, I will definitely choose to betray and not throw a single coin. If you can do that, I will believe you."
The girl in white fell silent. If that were the case, even if she chose to betray, she would lose all five of her coins, leaving her with nothing left. It would be almost impossible for her to win again.
"Hehehe."
After Naoki exposed her lie, the girl in white not only showed no guilt, but sneered: "It seems you still have some brains."
"Do you think anyone would give away even one chip for nothing in a game like this where losing means death? If the next game still requires 50 chips, then having 51 chips means I have one more chance."
"On the other hand, if there are forty-nine chips, there is no room for error."
Naoki said calmly, "Is that what you think? I wanted to believe you, what a pity."
"Oh, even if you figured it out, so what? The game is just back to the starting point. If you lose, you'll die, but if I lose, I can still wait until the next game."
After being exposed by Naoki, the girl in white simply stopped pretending and became more talkative. She sneered, "A poor person like you who is worth a chip, you must have stolen some rich family's game cabin to get in."
"Lose to me obediently, and I promise that when I get out, I'll take care of your family and ensure they have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Not a bad deal, right?"
Naoki:……
"Number 13."
Naoki called her number, "Your suggestion doesn't appeal to me at all. Let's just go with our own abilities."
"You should also know that in this game, it's impossible not to cooperate. Otherwise, there's no way to turn out twenty coins. How about this, like you just said, we cooperate in the first two rounds to accumulate twenty coins, and then from the third round onwards, we can each compete on our own."
Naoki's suggestion made the girl in white lower her eyes in deep thought.
It seemed like a viable strategy. But assuming they made it to the third round, each of them would have twenty coins in their hands.
In order to ensure that the coin in the opponent's hand is lower than yours, the strategy for the next three rounds must be betrayal.
In this case, if the opponent does the same, then the game ends in a draw, and if the number of coins in this game is the same, both sides are eliminated.
Therefore, based on the analytical ability demonstrated by the girl just now, the opponent will definitely choose to betray in one of the first two rounds.
Such cooperation is just empty talk.
The key is in which round to betray and whether the other party chooses to cooperate in this round.
After all, the worst case scenario is that both parties choose to betray. In that case, the machine will swallow all the coins. If you put all your belongings in, it will be difficult to win.
This is to avoid the situation where both parties choose to betray and lose all coins in the first round.
Using the backward reasoning method, we do not consider the case where all the coins are obtained through successful betrayal, but assume that both parties cooperate successfully. Then when there are only four rounds left, even if one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, and eight becomes sixteen, there will never be twenty coins forever.
At least two chips need to be left in order to successfully cooperate in the remaining four rounds and reach more than twenty coins.
In this way, the number of coins tested in the first round should not exceed three.
"Oh, there's a countdown. There are only five minutes left to think about the first coin toss."
Naoki glanced at the clock on the table.
Obviously, the game won't let them waste time thinking here endlessly.
Naoki's words also awakened the girl in white who was thinking.
The girls in white took the five coins on the table and held them all in their hands. The machine was large enough to cover the movements of their hands in front of their chests.
Naoki guessed that this machine probably made no sound when a coin was thrown, so it was impossible to tell how many coins each party had thrown.
Naoki glanced at the other gambling tables and was suddenly stunned, because there were twelve gambling tables in the hall, and they were obviously not arranged in a row, but in four rows of three each.
In this way, Naoki could see the people at other gambling tables putting in coins with their backs to him.
Soon, she realized the cheating method.
If you only focus on guarding against the opponent in front of you, thinking that you are blocked by the machine so that you cannot see the coin-insertion action, but it will be seen by people at other gambling tables behind you.
Opponents at two gambling tables can collude and send secret signals to each other, telling each other the number of coins their opponent has put in and even which button to choose.
but……
Naoki looked at the girl in white in front of him, looking down at the machine in thought. It seemed that her opponent had not discovered this method yet.
Moreover, such cooperation requires a high level of tacit understanding. It would be dangerous if one party of the cooperation gets enough information and then burns the bridge.
Although he knew Kirari, Naoki had no intention of disturbing her. She probably wanted to enjoy the game by herself.
Anyway, just put in the coin first.
The way to get the most benefit is to not betray the coin, but if you don’t cooperate, you will never be able to make a cake.
Someone is bound to be the first to pay the price.
Naoki put three coins into the coin slot.
As she expected, the coin went in like a cloth bag, without any sound.
At this time, the girl in white also completed the coin-insertion operation.
As the five-minute coin insertion time passes, the coin slot on the operating table is closed and no more coins can be inserted. Now it is the selection stage.
Naoki and the girl in white looked up at each other almost at the same time.
Then, after a certain amount of time to think, they pressed the button.
As both parties pressed all the buttons, the machine began to play exciting music like a lottery.
Both sides couldn't help but become nervous.
then……
【Congratulations, happy cooperation! 】
The machine played this celebratory music.
Then, a few coins came out of the coin dispenser in front of Naoki and the girl in white.
There are four coins in total.
Naoki's eyes flashed. He had put in three coins, but it seemed that the other party had only put in one.
The girl in white was also a little surprised.
If betrayal occurs in the first round, both parties will lose trust and cooperation will be difficult, which may end up in a tragic situation where both parties lose.
This is why both parties chose to cooperate in the first round.
But out of caution, to prevent the other party from betraying her, the girl in white only took the risk of a coin.
And Naoki invested three.
"Ah, what a shame! If you had thrown more, this round would have been more than this."
Naoki said, "But it doesn't matter. We can still cooperate smoothly in the next round."
The girl in white remained silent.
The second round begins.
Although he got four coins, because he paid three coins, Naoki had 6 coins left, while his opponent had 8 coins left.
The girl in white counted the coins on her fingers.
If the other party wants to win, they have to collect twenty coins. Currently, she only has six, which means that even if they put all of them in at once, they still need to cooperate for two rounds.
Judging from this, the possibility that she will cooperate this round is relatively high.
However, the same is true for me. Regardless of the outcome of a successful betrayal, I also need two rounds of smooth cooperation.
Although it is safer to invest a small number of coins, the production efficiency is too low.
Wait, if the other party still puts in three coins to cooperate in this round, and you put in six coins and choose to betray, then you will win, right?
But if her opponent betrays her, she will be the winner.
The girl in white still couldn't bet on this possibility.
Or no coins?
However, if you do not put the coin, your opponent will probably not continue to cooperate in the next round.
The number of coins you have now is an advantage, so it’s better to proceed steadily.
The second round of coin-insertion went by quickly, and both sides made their choices. After the coin-insertion countdown ended, the machine began to judge.
turn out.
【Congratulations, happy cooperation! 】
Two coins are ejected from the coin slots on both sides.
Seeing this result, the girl in white turned pale.
"You didn't even put in a single coin?"
That’s right, the girl in white put in two coins just now, but Naoki got zero, so in the end both of them got two coins each.
"Ah, I made you two last round, didn't I? I think I was sincere enough. Besides, I didn't choose to betray this round. Both sides got eight coins, so it's fair. If I had chosen to betray, I would have the advantage now."
Naoki rubbed his hands and said, "Miss, how about this? You can see that I value fairness very much. In the third round, we will each toss eight coins and make sixteen first."
The girl in white had to think that the other party was deceiving her.
But what the other party said is not wrong.
There are only three rounds left, if you don’t save enough coins.
However... the lack of trust is the biggest problem. If the other party chooses to betray me this time, then...
"Miss, I know from your expression that you are worried that I will betray you. I have a suggestion. Let's choose each other's position."
Naoki smiled, "This way, the people operating the other side's machines will definitely choose to cooperate."
The girl in white raised her eyebrows: "Is this possible?"
"Haha, the masked man didn't say it's forbidden, so you can try it."
Naoki took the initiative to walk over to the machine of the girl in white: "Look, it hasn't said I violated the rules yet, right?"
