Honkai Impact 5 vs. Genshin Impact, I'll provide the venue.

"Next, you will hold an anonymous vote. The person with the most votes will have their room move down one level."

"After 5 rounds, the player in the lowest position is eliminated."

"Wait, I have a question." Yae no Miko raised her hand, her eyes narrowing slightly: "What if there are multiple people in the lowest position?"

"Eliminate them all!"

Now they understood; it really did depend on luck.

"Then... if only one person is eliminated, how are the extra points calculated?"

This is a question that players are concerned about. If one person is eliminated, that means 8 people will share 20 points. How will that be divided?

"Keep it here and distribute it next time. Don't worry, I don't want any points this time. The final total will definitely be 20 points."

After hearing the explanation, the players nodded in agreement. That's not bad. Two people won this game, which means... 10 points each?

However, it cannot be ruled out that someone might leave with the points along the way.

However, this reduces the number of points, and if too many people leave, the final winner may end up with nothing.

Thinking of this, Yae no Miko immediately raised his hand: "I propose that no one be allowed to be the first to withdraw this time."

"Yes, yes, no one is allowed to run away."

Hanabi immediately followed, she wanted to play a little longer, how could you guys run away!

Gold dust: "All...or nothing at all!"

Sand Gold thought it was awesome, and knew he absolutely couldn't run away from it.

When it comes to luck, do you think I'm afraid of you?

Bennett: "Huh? Can't we just abstain?"

"Whatever you want."

Fireworks' teasing voice rang out, "If you want to abstain, then abstain. Anyway, no one thinks you'll get any points."

Since it was their first time participating in the game, the three members of Zone Zero huddled together and began to discuss it in hushed tones.

Billy: "So, are you going to say yes?"

Number 11: "Whatever."

Zhu Yuan: "Agree, there's no other way."

Zhu Yuan understood perfectly well: how could they refuse? If the others had split into two factions, they could have managed to mediate, but now they were all in favor of not abstaining. If they ran away, who knew how they would be treated in the future?

"Okay, we also support not abstaining."

Studio.

[Ye Lan: They've all become gamblers!]

Jade: It's just a gamble with a small investment for a big return.

[Jingyuan: This is a classic gambler's dilemma: when you lose, you want to recoup your losses; when you win, you want more.]

[Black Tower: That's fine too, then nobody can blame anyone later.]

[Topa: No need to watch anymore, Alluvial Gold is destined to win.]

[Jean: Too bad, I didn't get Klee this time.]

It's frustrating. It's all about luck. Why didn't I get Klee? I think if Klee were to join the game, it wouldn't be impossible to compete with Gold Plate.

Unfortunately, I drew Bennett. Needless to say, I suffered a loss on the very first try.

Chapter 141 Beating the Drum and Passing the Flowers

Now that the rules were clear, everyone decided to choose a room and begin the game.

But then, Suze called out to Bennett.

"Mr. Su Ze, is there anything else?"

Bennett looked miserable. Why was he chosen? In this kind of game, he was bound to be eliminated.

Are you choosing me to participate in the game, or are you choosing me to be punished?

"You can also forfeit the first game. Do you want to forfeit now? Forfeiting doesn't count as elimination."

"I abstain, I abstain."

For a moment, Bennett wondered if Su Ze had given him special treatment, so he didn't have to be punished?

"Ah...you don't hesitate at all?"

Su Ze didn't know what to say; this child was just too heartbreaking.

"Okay, you can leave here without being punished."

"Great!"

Bennett cheered, clicked "abandon," and left the space.

Lisa: ..........

[Kaeya: ..........]

[Abedo: Hmm... a wise choice.]

What else can be said? Anyway, we don't expect Bennett to win; just avoiding punishment is a victory in itself.

"Alright, go and choose a house. No need to look anymore, the houses will be moved later."

Seeing the others' constantly scanning gazes, Su Ze kindly offered a reminder. "If you're going to play it by luck, then play it by luck. Are you really trying to find out who's in which room?"

"It's boring."

Upon learning that the room would be changed later, Yae no Miko pouted and headed towards the nearest room first.

Upon entering the house, all the doors were closed, and even the windows were gone, leaving everyone trapped in a small space.

“I’m number 3!”

There was only a chair and a monitor in the room. The monitor was blank except for the number three. Yae no Miko finally understood how to play this game.

Sit down in the chair and wait for the game to begin.

"Boom."

As everyone got ready, many people felt the room moving, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

"Is this what they call shuffling positions?"

After the movement stopped, everyone was no longer aware of which area they were in; they could only stare blankly at the numbers on the monitor.

[Everyone is ready, the game begins.]

The system prompt sounds.

"Thump~~~Thump~~~Thump!"

The sound of drums rang out; without a doubt, it was Su Ze playing the drums.

"Thump~~thump~~thump thump, thump thump thump!"

Sand Gold, who had been carefully listening to the rhythm of the drumbeats, gave up. Su Ze was just randomly hitting the drums, with no pattern whatsoever. Watching the numbers on his monitor light up and then go out, even Sand Gold couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Is my luck really that good?

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The drumbeats grew increasingly rapid, finally ceasing with a final, loud sound.

At this moment, Sand Gold noticed that the number 5 on his monitor was lit up, which meant that Flower had come to him.

"this...."

Is this considered good luck or bad luck?

Sand Gold was speechless. He said, "I guess we're lucky. It's only the first round. What kind of questions can we possibly get out of them?"

He was unlucky, but he was still chosen.

"You can ask questions now."

Su Ze's voice rang out from inside the room.

"Wait for me a moment."

There's no vote yet, so there's limited information to be gathered, and they can't ask who's in which room. For a moment, Sand Gold was at a loss.

After thinking for a long time, Sand Gold had a sudden inspiration. Although I can't ask who's in that room, I can ask about the characteristics of the people in the room.

After mentally reviewing all the participating players, Sand Gold decided to first find Yae no Miko, that cunning fox. Once he found her, he could lock in the votes, which was much better than everyone else casting randomly.

"My question is...what color is the hair of the person in room 6?"

This is the idea that Sand Gold came up with. I didn't ask who it was, so you can't just not answer, can you?

"Hehe, you're really something."

Su Ze laughed, then changed his tone and said, "White."

White!

This wasn't the answer Sand Gold wanted to hear, but it made him realize one thing: the person next to him wasn't from their universe.

So who is this person with white hair?

Is it number 11, the robot, or a disciple of the Liyue Celestials?

Please begin the first round of voting.

The system didn't give him time to think and initiated a vote.

"Who cares? It's not from our universe anyway."

Without thinking about it anymore, he directly applied the gold dust to spot number 6.

In the live broadcast room.

[Qingyi: Oh dear, I'm going to be eliminated on my first try.]

[Nicole: Damn it, what's with that guy named Sand Gold? Is he bullying us?]

[Ambi: This is protagonist treatment! A dramatic turn of events, Billy's about to become the protagonist.]

[Simplified: Don't panic, only those with the most votes will drop; it's only one vote so far.]

Lina: It really is a matter of luck.

At this point, the other players also cast their votes. They didn't know who was who, so they just voted randomly.

Ultimately, Room 1 topped the leaderboard with 3 votes, becoming the first player to be demoted....

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the robin realized that its house was descending.

"I!"

This discovery made the robin very upset; I was the first one to make it!

She thought that even if she had the worst luck, she could still persevere, so why did she feel like she was doomed in the first round?

[Round Two Begins.]

The drumbeats resumed, still completely irregular.

"Boom!"

The lights in room 5 were turned on again.

"It's me again!"

Sand Gold was delighted this time. Previously, there had been no voting, but now he could easily find the player most likely to be eliminated simply by asking about the vote count. This feeling of advancing through smear campaigns was extremely unpleasant, so he decided to eliminate one of them first.

"My question is: Of all the houses now, which house number is the lowest?"

"Room number 1 is the cheapest."

Su Ze's reply came.
