Guild Boss's Ambition

Before the first game started, the pseudo-loli dwarf used shameless psychological tactics on me.

I originally wanted to give in to them and not say anything, but I didn't expect them to be so upset.

Here, I pretended to be innocent and asked, "Really?"

The pseudo-Lolita dwarf replied: "Really! Really!"

Here, she did not avoid the gaze.

So──

"One, two, three! Rock, paper, scissors!" "One, two, three! Rock, paper, scissors!"

Under the gazes of nearly five thousand people, we two pseudo-Lolis played rock-paper-scissors in the arena.

Me: Stone

Dwarf: Scissors

"How can it be!"

"Thank you. Dwarves are indeed good people who keep their word."

The dwarf who was trying to mislead me stared in disbelief, his brain suddenly froze. Seeing this speechless situation, the human girl behind him couldn't help but take action: "Okay, I'll tell you it's not that simple. Honest dwarves, don't try to play this insidious game. Let me take over here."

“Ouch… Damn it!”

The red-haired dwarf scratched his hair in distress and retreated sullenly as ordered.

Seeing the blue-haired girl come on stage, I smiled and said, "You were the ones who had the bad idea first. I was just planning to play a normal rock-paper-scissors game, but now it's one to zero. Do you still have any way to clean up the mess?"

My goal in saying this was to put psychological pressure on the other person, but the effect was obviously not very good.

The blue-haired girl, who was born as a pure-blooded human, was very alert. She didn't show me too many facial expressions. She only replied: "Time is running out. Let's end this game early, okay?"

I smiled in agreement and didn't try to use psychological tactics on her.

"One, two, three! Rock, paper, scissors!" "One, two, three! Rock, paper, scissors!"

According to statistics, when playing rock-paper-scissors, more people choose paper. Therefore, I chose scissors. But in fact, the so-called more is only in the single digit percentage. When the goddess of luck did not favor me particularly, the two scissors between me and the blue-haired girl ended in a tie.

Next, I played Scissors again, and my opponent did the same.

Two consecutive draws brought some stagnation to both of us.

I didn't have any ulterior motives, I just smiled and said, "We really have a tacit understanding -"

Hearing this, the blue-haired girl frowned and touched her palm with two fingers.

"She'll do the scissors again."

Seeing her little action, I quickly judged and thought, and then I couldn't help feeling bitter. God can testify that I really didn't want to read her heart, but her words and actions were too easy to understand in my opinion. If I deliberately didn't throw the stone to let her go, it would be a bit unfair to the other three people in my group.

"One, two, three! Rock, paper, scissors!" "One, two, three! Rock, paper, scissors!"

The next moment, the blue-haired girl's scissors proved the power of my mind-reading ability, and I solved her problem with a stone.

2-0

I won this battle with a perfect record.

Without any mercy, I picked up the ballot that originally belonged to Group C directly from the table.

"I'm sorry, I won this one."

I reached out and shook their hands after the game.

Both of them were very graceful. Although the expressions on their faces were not very good, they were still willing to shake hands with me. Even though they lost the game, they did not lose their grace. For a large-scale event like this, it is actually very impressive that they can squeeze into the top 20, but the strength is only within the top 20.

Faced with the embarrassing facts, we have no choice but to admit it.

18. Unfinished Game (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

Nine votes plus nineteen votes make a total of twenty-eight votes.

Considering the number of votes cast on site, there will be at most eighty votes.

In other words, the total number of votes that we cannot control is only fifty-two.

No matter how the distribution is done, our group will definitely qualify and advance to the third round.

When the results of the second round were announced, the vote distribution was exactly as I expected. Group A got 30 votes, Group B got 22 votes, Group C got 0 votes, and our group got 28 votes. All 80 votes from the 40 audience members on site were counted, without a single vote more or less. In the end, Group A and Group D became the winning group.

When the results were announced, Group B immediately protested, saying we had violated the rules.

But according to the final explanation of the main defense team, although the competition itself has stated that votes cannot be bought and sold for money, in fact it does not completely prohibit the transfer of votes between groups. Even in the original design of the organizers, they also presupposed the occurrence of labor leasing. Of course, the unit of all transactions can only be votes, and nothing else can be used except ballots.

Judging from the audience's reaction, my strategy seemed to be very popular.

Sure enough, in any game, everyone likes the reversal scene.

The next and last round should be very easy, as five of the eight poster girls who have qualified have promised to give me the prize after the game. The only remaining uncertainties are Elizabeth from the Tree of Life and Cameron from the Wizarding Mansion. At the beginning of the third round, we have a ten-minute break, and I decided to talk to them one by one.

I first approached Elizabeth alone.

"Miss Eliza, can you please have a word with me for a moment?"

"It's Miss Lannon. You played very well in that round just now!"

"That's great, it's just a little cleverness."

Seeing that she wanted to discuss, I led her to a corner of the lounge and whispered, "Before the third round begins, I would like to ask Eliza** why you are participating in this game?"

"reason?"

Elizabeth thought for a moment before answering, "I am participating because Luo Jun'er is participating. If she is the only one in the entire guild participating, wouldn't she look too pitiful?"

Friendship among comrades?

I was immediately delighted and tried to ask further: "Then, can you transfer the championship prize to me? As long as you agree, I will not be an obstacle to your winning the championship. It is also okay for me to give up on the spot."

Hearing this, Elizabeth blinked and chuckled, "I'm sorry, but the champion's prize is exactly what I want, so I can't transfer it. And after seeing Miss Lannong's outstanding performance just now, I'm already full of fighting spirit. No matter what, I'm looking forward to the third round."

Could you not be so passionate?

It’s not suitable for passionate plots between girls!

I smiled bitterly, nodded politely, and said goodbye to Elizabeth.

With a bad feeling in my heart, I went to find Cameron without giving up.

I told her the same thing again.

This time, the gloomy poster girl responded like this: "My style has always been to win everything, whether it is the championship throne or the championship prize, they are all what I want. And! If possible, please go all out. I will wash away the shame you gave me in the last round in the next round."

Shame? When did I shame her?

I thought about it, tried to put myself in her shoes, and immediately discovered the truth.

"Maybe you're talking about me letting Luo Juner advance to the third round?"

"It must be this! No one likes to have their plans ruined."

"Although her attitude is very tough, Cameron must be very panicked now. In her eyes, I am probably too high to be true. I am completely regarded as some kind of cunning and scheming woman. In fact, I am really such a scheming woman. I am scheming and I am proud of it~~"

After being rejected twice in a row, I felt a little depressed, so I decided to go to the bathroom alone and use the ammonia in the bathroom to help me adjust my spirit for the third round. Since I had spent so much effort to get here, I really didn't want to give the championship to those two uncontrollable chess pieces.

"Hehe, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, just as I finished washing my hands, a soft body hugged me from behind.

I was stunned for a moment, then I recognized her voice.

It's White Night.

"I was thinking about the third round. It's strange. Why were you so nice just now? You actually helped me?"

"When have I ever hurt you? Haven't I been helping you ever since that incident?"

"So, what are you doing here? Aren't you busy with research?"

"No matter how busy you are, you have to relax once in a while, right?"

I looked straight at the bathroom mirror and met her blue eyes. In the end, I didn't read any emotion from this woman's eyes. This result made me feel a little unhappy. Even if I don't have a cat's personality, I will be interested in mysterious things. But this Bai Ye is the type with unfathomable depth. I can't help but pay attention to her...

"Bai Ye, you are not trying to attract my attention by being mysterious all day long, right?"

"Oh, Uru, are you going to fall in love with me?"

I thought about it, carefully judged my feelings for Bai Ye, and then came to the conclusion: "That shouldn't be possible, right? Bai Ye, you are not my type. It will be very tiring to date you. You are too smart. If we want to date, I prefer the ordinary person who can be manipulated at will."

“That’s a dangerous statement.”

"Is it dangerous there? It should be her happiness to be loved by me."

"But at the same time you treat me like a fool, don't you?"

"It's nice to be an idiot, don't you think?"

"If I were an idiot who never realized my mistake in my life, it would feel pretty good."

In a strange place, Bai Ye and I reached the same conclusion.

After a pause, I broke free from Bai Ye's embrace and changed the subject.

"By the way, who did you and Augustus vote for with the remaining two votes?"

"you guess?"

"Group C?"

"correct."

"Did you foresee my plan?"

Bai Ye gave the extra votes to Group C. As a result, she actually forced four votes on me. Without her four votes, even if the plan was successfully implemented, our group's final vote count might not be able to beat the leading two groups. This makes me feel that it is a bit unfair. Even the voters are my people, how can my opponent win?

I was puzzled and asked curiously, "What about Heloise? Why is she here again?"

A high elf was exposed to the public, and served as a judge for the event together with our city lord...

Whenever I thought about the consequences of Heloise's identity being exposed, my young and healthy stomach began to ache.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Heloise, she went bankrupt because of buying gems, and then after she found out that she could eat good food for free as a judge, she started clamoring to come here with me. I couldn't stand her harassment and thought it was very interesting, so I agreed to her request and used some connections to get everyone's names on the list of forty people."

"Using some connections?"

That reminds me of my own Knights.

Those good guys wouldn't...

"Bai Ye, you are not also a spy for those people, right?"

"It's true that they came to inform me, but there is no cooperative relationship between us. However, although there is no cooperation, my appearance is actually their goal, and your performance just now has indeed greatly satisfied them."

Bai Ye showed a slightly unhappy expression here, she didn't seem to like that knight order very much.

"Could it be that this is the reason why Bai Ye didn't cause any trouble just now?"

Bai Ye seemed to have an unexpectedly subtle possessiveness towards me.

I don’t want other people to see my wonderful expressions - maybe that’s the mentality?

I really want to confirm the answer to this question, but Bai Ye’s reaction also makes me very worried.

and……

This question itself is quite embarrassing...

To ask or not to ask?

Ask! A good player must be brave enough to die!

"Bai Ye, let me ask you! Do you feel like you have a little bit of possessiveness towards me?"

Bai Ye's expression remained the same as usual in response to my question, but I could still sense a hint of hesitation from her intuition. She smiled and said, "What nonsense! You are not mine. On the contrary, I am yours. From the perspective of desire, Uru, you are closer to the concept of selfishness than me!"

Selfish……

I asked curiously, "Will Bai Ye also do things for others?"
