Guild Boss's Ambition

Through the Little Albert experiment, we know that people can develop fear of things through acquired experience. Through long-term interaction with the "messenger of tragedy", I was also indirectly trained to have a fear of tableware. I am very afraid of touching tableware during work, and usually nine out of ten times it will bring me a "jump scare".

I deeply believe that "shock fear" is the lowest level of fear, far inferior to atmospheric fear, moral fear and other forms of fear. But among many fears, the one that can eat me up the most is shock fear. To go even further, I would rather face ghosts directly than the tableware during work hours.

At least the ghosts can use magic bullets to shoot them, allowing them to ascend to heaven and become Buddhas as soon as possible.

And for the sake of the outcome of the Wenliu Conference, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up those long-missed dishes.

For those of you who don’t understand how scared I am, just imagine that you are holding a live, flying cockroach.

Well, that’s great. In this way, I believe more than 70% of my friends can understand my difficulties, right?

It obviously has no harm, but it is abnormally powerful.

I resisted the urge to run away, picked up the fruit and herb salad, and placed it in front of my tauren friend.

step……

Two steps...

Three steps...

I began to move back cautiously, as if I were facing a time bomb.

"Hey, little one over there, what are you doing? How can I eat if you're like this?"

The male minotaur shouted at me in dissatisfaction. He picked up a silver fork and inserted it straight into the center of the plate. The hard plate did not rot easily due to this level of stabbing, but a strange white light suddenly appeared in the bright and sunny sky, and the white light fell on the top of the fork in the blink of an eye──

boom! boom! boom!

After the white light, a burst of thunder was heard from the sky.

"Wow!"

The minotaur was so frightened that he immediately let go of the hand holding the fork. Fortunately, his reaction was quick enough, otherwise his palm would have suffered the same fate as the plate on the table and was instantly burned into a ball of charcoal. Just by looking at the curling white smoke, one can imagine the temperature of the surface of the charred plate.

Seeing this, the male minotaur immediately gave me an unfriendly look.

"Are you trying to murder me?!"

I immediately protested, "Damn it! Did I ever see me use lightning magic?"

The Minotaur questioned, "Then why did you run so far away? You predicted the lightning before, right?"

I couldn't help but curse loudly, "It was clearly the plate that did it. It has nothing to do with me! And I've already said from the beginning that for safety reasons, I won't be responsible for any serving work. Now that something has gone wrong, you dare to blame me? Believe it or not, I'll give you a few more plates to see! You'll know how powerful plates are!"

"Fuck! Don't you think I'm an idiot? Damn it, I won't eat this meal!"

In anger, the hot-tempered Minotaur slammed the table and left.

Seeing this, I hurriedly shouted, "Hey, sir, you haven't paid yet!"

The embarrassed Minotaur did not respond to my joke, but the audience at the scene was very cooperative. They had been watching the live broadcast from a God's perspective and they understood the situation better. They knew that none of my tricks were effective, and that the whole thing was absolutely a pure accident, without any element of foul play or violation.

However, this plate incident not only pissed off the minotaur, but also the fox lady Yalian. She almost rushed out of the kitchen, grabbed my ear and yelled, "I say! Didn't we agree that you don't have to do anything? You are deliberately messing with us! You don't want us to win at all!"

"Hahaha! Little girl! Don't blame your teammates here!"

The next moment, a hearty laugh came, and a giant warrior sitting on the ground spoke well of me. "Come on, here, this ballot is for you. I was very happy watching the scene just now. That kind of lightning magic is really hard to defend against. There is no magic fluctuation at all. On the battlefield, it is definitely a deadly weapon to hurt people from behind."

Looking at the ballots handed out by the giant warriors, the fox girl Alan didn't want to continue blaming me. She shrugged indifferently and turned back to the kitchen of her and her sisters. The food they cooked seemed to be of quite high standard. The guests who had already received the food seemed to be eating with gusto. It shouldn't be a problem to get two or three more votes with the food.

At the same time, Luo Juner, who was chatting with the guests over there, also got two votes.

That gives us five votes total.

There are 40 votes in total from 80 guests. If they are divided equally among the four parties, each group will get 20 votes. However, considering the number of votes at this stage does not have much positive significance. Unless we get more than 40 votes, we will still have to continue to do our best without knowing the total number of votes from the other three parties.

Well……

In fact, in addition to giving it my all, I also have a lot of unconventional ways to win in my head. But since this is not a game that I have to win, I can't go too far. After all, God is watching what we do. If I become so evil that everyone knows about it, then in the end I will only win the game but lose my life.

The most important thing in an exchange conference is not to win the championship, but how to show your beautiful side among a hundred flowers.

However, I don't completely intend to use no strategies at all.

Just as I was about to unleash my trick, a table of guests suddenly stopped and called my name: "Excuse me! Miss Lannon!"

They were a pair of goblin brothers, and they were looking at me with curious eyes.

I roughly guessed their intention, so I smiled and went up to them.

"May I ask how I can help you?"

"Can you serve us some food?"

"Then..." I rolled my eyes and smiled slyly: "Votes?"

The goblin brothers nodded in understanding and handed over the ballots with both hands on the spot: "Please use them."

After collecting the ballots from the goblin brothers, I served them drinks as agreed. This time there was no lightning and thunder. It was just because I was too nervous and my hand slipped accidentally, and then the two drinks fell to the ground. The goblin brother seemed a little disappointed with this ordinary situation and left our store immediately.

The time came to the end of the competition, and there were still two guests who wanted to watch me serve the dishes out of curiosity. After round after round of thrilling scenes, I had obtained seven votes by myself. Together with the twelve votes won by Luo Juner and the fox sisters, we only had nineteen votes in total, which was a number lower than the expected value.

"Sister, what should we do? There are only a few guests who haven't voted yet..."

"Alan, stop talking. Everyone is working hard anyway."

After spending some time together, the fox girl Yalian no longer criticized me. This is a good change, but the two of them gave up too early. It is said that the battle of the poster girls is the battle of adventurers. This game has not yet reached the last moment. How can we give up so easily?

I looked at the big clock in the venue and felt that the time had come, so I walked towards Luo Juner and asked her who was still working: "Luo Juner, can you stop and talk? I want to ask your opinion on something."

Luo Juner, who was holding two trays, stopped in a hurry and asked, "What's the matter? Can you speak faster?"

Her tone wasn't very nice, but it was completely understandable since she was doing the work of two people.

I didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "In your opinion, who has the most votes among the other three groups?"

Luo Juner blinked and answered casually: "Probably Elizabeth and the others. Elizabeth always has a way."

After getting a positive answer from Luo Jun'er, I immediately turned around and left our group's business scope, went straight to Elizabeth's group, and looked for Senior Annie: "Annie, Annie, tell me quickly, how many votes does your group have?"

Senior Anne shrugged as she prepared a drink and replied, "I don't know either. Elizabeth and Cameron took their own tickets and said they would wait until the last minute to count them."

Sure enough! Elizabeth and Cameron are both very smart.

I stepped back and asked, "Well, how many votes do you have just for Berlane and you?"

Senior Annie didn't question it and told me the answer directly: "15 votes."

Damn! So cool?

I was shocked by the number, and then I gave Senior Annie a hug out of the blue.

"What's wrong? Blue?"

"Hehe, it's okay."

Annie was a little confused by my behavior. I just smiled mysteriously and turned to leave their Group A's shop.

Next, I stopped between Group B and Group C. After some consideration, I finally walked into the business area of ​​Group C.

The atmosphere in Group C was not very good. The smiles on the faces of the female posters seemed stiff. It was estimated that their situation might be even worse than ours. After all, Luo Juner was really strong. She was so strong that she could do the job of three people. Basically, as long as her teammates were not too bad, she could easily qualify for the entire team.

That’s right, we who are on the same team with Luo Juner are actually all rogue.

But the so-called mine packs are often the biggest variable on the battlefield.

No one knows when we will hit that lucky shot!

With the determination to fight to the death, I broke into Group C's position alone.

"Hello, please send a representative to talk to me. I have something important to discuss with you—"

Instantly, four unfamiliar poster girls all looked at me.

In the weird atmosphere, two of them stood in front of me and said in unison: "Excuse me, what can I do for you? I am the representative."

……

……

17. Red and blue have always been a good match (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

People often say that red and blue have always been a good match, but the red and blue here are completely incompatible.

"What can I do for you? I am the representative."

Looking at the blue-haired human queen and the red-haired dwarf pseudo-Lolita who said the above dialogue at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a headache with my full of calculations. After all, I am not that dark pool of water as Bai Ye. It is always easier to calculate one person than two people. What's worse is that the two of them seem to be in an abnormal and unstable state.

I smiled bitterly and led them to a darker corner.

"I don't know what happened between you, but judging from the business of your store, the number of votes you have received is probably not optimistic, right? Since there are only ten minutes left, I will make it short. Actually! Even if we only get fewer votes, we still have a chance of winning."

At the end of my speech, I deliberately put on a powerful expression.

Ok.

It's an expression that shows one is self-righteous and powerful.

After seeing my expression, the blue-haired lady and the red-haired dwarf showed two polarized expressions.

The human girl immediately expressed her curiosity and interest: "Opportunity? What opportunity?"

The dwarf pseudo-Lolita showed a wariness that was very consistent with her race: "Go away, this kind of door-to-door sales is definitely not good. Listen! We don't buy any goblin products, and we don't need human insurance services!"

Facing the irrational rejection from the dwarf pseudo-Lolita, I twitched my eyes speechlessly and decisively ignored her. I turned to the blue-haired girl and said, "May I ask how many votes you have now? Our guild has only collected 19 votes. I believe your votes must be far less than ours."

The dwarf pseudo-Lolita immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Damn it! Are you here to laugh at us on purpose?"

The next moment, the blue-haired girl stepped forward, blocking the dwarf who was in the way, and politely replied, "In fact, the number of votes on our side is indeed less than 19, but given the current situation, you may not be able to qualify from the second round with just 19 votes. From the beginning, Group A and Group B have performed very strongly."

I nodded with a smile: "Group A is indeed very strong, but Group B is doomed to lose."

The blue-haired girl frowned in confusion: "I don't understand what you are talking about..."

I smiled and took out a stack of ballots from my pocket. "As long as the votes from our two groups are combined, then we can have a winner, right? According to my information, Group A currently has about 30 votes, and Group B has about 23 votes. If we deduct our votes, your group will only have 12 or 13 votes at most, right?"

When it comes to the actual number of votes, the red-haired dwarf's face looked very unhappy: "Twelve or thirteen votes? If there were twelve or thirteen votes, why would I be so angry? After working for half a day, we only got nine votes. Those people who came to eat are all big idiots. They only made a mess of the table, but they didn't even have half a ticket!"

Hey, there are other customers in your store! Is it okay to be so loud?

I complained silently in my heart, but I remained calm on the surface and said with a smile: "Nine votes plus our seventeen votes, that's twenty-six votes, right? In this competition, if anyone has twenty-six votes, wouldn't that be enough to squeeze out Group B's position and be promoted to second place in one go? There's no need to think too much, right? It's just simple arithmetic."

At this moment, the blue-haired girl noticed something sensitively: "How come it has become 17 votes? Didn't it just say 19 votes?"

I raised my hands and took a defensive stance. "Because there are two tickets that we can't trade. Like you, our group also has some internal problems. That fox girl named Alan doesn't like me very much. She doesn't agree to give me her tickets to use. She's worried that I will squander them all."

After saying this, I counted the votes one by one in front of them, and the number was indeed seventeen.

At this time, both the blue-haired girl and the red-haired loli showed hesitation.

I tried to persuade them again: "Our cooperation is inevitable. If we do nothing, both of us will be losers in the end. Now, there are only eight and a half minutes left. Let's play a game of rock-paper-scissors to decide the fate of our two families in the fairest and simplest way. The bets are 17 votes from our group and 9 votes from you."

The red-haired pseudo-Lolita agreed straightforwardly: "I see, there is no other way anyway, right?"

The blue-haired girl suddenly became suspicious: "Wait! Why is it rock-paper-scissors? Is this a bet in your favor?"

Rock-paper-scissors is a gamble that is very favorable to me.

I have ways to cheat in this gambling game from different levels. Just relying on the skill of "Give Me a Face Saving", I can defeat them all. But I don't plan to do that this time. In this kind of friendly match, I don't want to use too many conspiracies. Relying on fair and honest strategies to win can bring me the greatest benefit.

Even if I lose in the second round, I still have Senior Annie and the others as my backup.

Therefore, there is no need for me to use such unpleasant means for the time being.

Facing the blue-haired girl's questioning, I smiled generously and gave in, saying, "The main reason I suggested rock-paper-scissors is that it is the fastest way to decide the winner. Besides, the content of this game is simple enough, and theoretically there shouldn't be much room for cheating. From a probability perspective, our chances of winning are equal."

"That's right..."

"That's absolutely correct! It's just simple math, you're so stupid!"

Seeing the blue-haired girl's indecisive move, the dwarf girl immediately humiliated her. However, although it was a humiliation, judging from the way they got along with each other, their relationship did not seem as bad as initially expected. They were just a typical pair of bickering lovers who showed off their love, and they still faithfully implemented the iron rule of red and blue being a perfect couple since ancient times.

"Since time is running out, please make a decision as soon as possible and send a representative to play rock-paper-scissors with me, okay?"

Seeing that they had not reached a conclusion yet, I couldn't help but get anxious and urge them to do something.

After some private discussions, they finally stood up, led by the pseudo-Lolita dwarf: "Okay! Come on! Since both of us have a 50% chance of winning, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

So, the confrontation between the two sides officially started.

The format of the duel is the classic best-of-three format.

"In the first round, I will use Scissors!"
