Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"Thinking about it this way, if a contestant chooses to showcase in the first round but doesn't complete a match, then in the second round, I will continue to choose the previous match... regardless of whether they showcased or not."

　As Cong Yu spoke, he pondered for a moment before saying, "This way, players will avoid being matched unexpectedly."

　"If there are too many people like this, then this round will most likely not end... because when everyone sees the number of 'people not completing matchmaking' increasing, they will also join the 'people not completing matchmaking' side."

　"The game will go on forever."

　"Therefore, the remaining contestants will face round after round of punishment mechanisms... until someone can't take it anymore and is forced to be eliminated."

　"In that case, will a new 'game' gradually emerge amidst our suffering, and will it become a 'new game status quo'?"

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, both the doctor and Xiao Cui nodded in affirmation: "Yes." X2

　After giving this answer, the master and apprentice began to talk at length about how Cong Yu somehow derived the probability.

　They spout off a whole set of fractions.

　In an instant, Cong Yu's mind flashed through the stars and the sea... and she instantly empathized with the golden-haired idiot who wished to remain anonymous.

　Overwhelmed with emotion, Cong Yu was filled with countless thoughts, but in the end, they could only coalesce into one sentence—

　Born by my mother.

　Chapter 964 Let's Fall into Hell Together!

　To be fair, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things...

　In fact, Cong Yu still didn't understand how to play this strange "pairing poker" game; the only thing he got were a few formulas.

　The doctor and Xiao Cui concluded...

　Depending on her seat, Cong Yu could refer to the strategies that Xiao Cui and the doctor were chattering about and then follow them.

　Although it will take him a relatively long time to understand why.

　Just like he didn't understand why there was a 50% probability that two people in a class of 23 would share the same birthday.

　I don't understand why, in a class of 50 people, the probability of two people sharing the same birthday is about 97%.

　There are exactly 365 days in a year, aren't there?

　Based on his personal experience, it is true that some friends share the same birthday, requiring him to prepare multiple birthday gifts the day before.

　Even so, Cong Yu was still not good at probability.

　With this thought in mind, Cong Yu picked up an alien sausage and stuffed it into her mouth... Yes, an alien sausage.

　Just like people on Earth, even those separated by several continents, have all come up with sausage products made by stuffing meat into sausage casings.

　Even life forms in the universe have thought of this convenient way of processing meat for transporting and storing food... namely, sausages.

　"..." Silently stuffing the last piece of sausage into her mouth, Cong Yu glanced at the 900 seconds left before the start of the match.

　After wiping his mouth, he left the room...

　Subsequently

　Then you can see many players already sitting at the huge gambling table, eating.

　Some contestants even fell asleep in their seats.

　It seems she hasn't returned to her room since last night...

　"..." Cong Yu glanced at them and noticed that they were all sitting near seat number 75... Did they actually choose the seat themselves?

　Cong Yu, who had just realized this, thought for a moment and understood why everyone was gathered at the end of the numbering system.

　This is easy to understand...

　Because those sitting in the back are better able to assess the situation and determine whether they should pair up with others.

　However, if a player is unlucky and draws cards that may not be perfectly matched...

　If you sit too far back, you'll lose control of the situation.

　After weighing the pros and cons, these gamblers calculated the perfect position based on their calculations – 75.

　Fortunately, there are only 100 spots in total.

　If there are 1000 seats and people are allowed to move around, then... if everyone sits around 750, then the best seat is not 750, but around 825.

　However, if everyone realizes that others also realize 750 and chooses 825, then the best position is around 900.

　This will never end if it continues.

　This is the endless game, also known as "you have 4, I have 8, he has 12, and in the end we all have 252".

　Those who made it to this round in the tournament are practically no fools left.

　It could even be said that Cong Yu was the worst among the hundred players in terms of probability sensitivity and card playing skills.

　Cong Yu was also very clear that she should probably join the group around 75th place, but...

　At this moment, that side has already stopped working.

　Positions numbered 80 and above, and positions numbered 50 and above, weren't ideal... the former were too passive, and the latter were somewhat in a limbo. So Cong Yu decisively sat in position number 1.

　This action attracted everyone's attention.

　However, no one said anything, they just silently recalled Cong Yu's performance and personality in the previous game.

　They were trying to figure out in which round Cong Yu would start matching.

　Yes, those sitting in the earlier numbered positions will be able to effectively control the flow of the rounds.

　Imagine that after the first round of the game, ten unlucky players are eliminated. Half of the remaining players' pairs choose to reveal their cards.

　So, if you choose to start matchmaking in the second round of Congyu, the game is very likely to end in the second round.

　of course……

　This does not take into account the perspective of "excluding dissidents".

　If things were that simple, Xiao Cui and the doctor wouldn't have needed to think about it for so long yesterday.

　Because of a very simple logic—

　The more players you eliminate in this game, the less pressure you'll face in the later games, and the easier it will be to win.

　So let's imagine a scenario...

　Suppose there are 100 people on the field, and the first 24 people have completed their pairings. The remaining 48 people have been moved to the "completed pairings" area.

　If the remaining people can communicate, they would prefer to pair up and complete the game together as a group of one hundred...

　Or should we stop pairing up and eliminate all 48 people in this round?

　If you can guarantee that you will be the one to advance in this round of the game, then choosing the latter is obviously the better option.

　At that moment, the muscular man and the bespectacled man walked over from the other side of the corridor, talking to each other.

　Then I saw a large gambling table that was already filled with many people.

　Then, the two, their eyes darting around, realized that the rules did not state that it was not allowed to grab a position before the game started.

　It's a pity, they were originally planning to move to the mid-to-back positions to secure their win rate...

　Then they saw Cong Yu sitting in the front seat, while the seat to his right was empty.

　After exchanging a glance, the two of them sat down next to Cong Yu and asked, "Did you choose the front seats?"

　Cong Yu nodded in agreement with what the two said: "Yes, because I want to make good use of my advantages."

　As Cong Yu was saying this, Lan Zuo and Lan You also came out of the room after they had finished eating and drinking... and then they were also stunned by the situation.

　"Huh? Are we 600 seconds early or late?"

　"I told you... huh?"

　Amidst the sighs of the left and the sighs of the right, both of them noticed the "former squad member" sitting at the very front.

　Then, with the thought, "What? What's their scheme now? Take me with you!", I sat down in the fourth seat.

　At this moment, the muscular man asked Cong Yu about what he had said earlier: "Advantages? What advantages? Influence?"

　If Cong Yu uses his influence effectively, some players might actually buy into his strategy.

　The same applies whether it matches or not, and whether it is public or not.

　But clearly, that's not what Cong Yu was talking about; he was just smiling as he watched more and more contestants gather behind him.

　I asked a few of my former colleagues, "Are you afraid of pain? Are you afraid of getting hurt or being punished?"

　In response, they...

　The person paused, stunned.

　"well enough……"

　The muscular man spoke first, while the bespectacled man didn't say anything, but nodded thoughtfully: "Probably... not particularly afraid."

Lan Zuo and Lan You hesitated for a moment. In the end, Lan Zuo didn't say anything, but Lan You said, "My sister is a bit scared, but I'm okay."

　So, what is Cong Yu planning to do?

　Under the watchful eyes of the three people (four in total including the two heads), Cong Yu stared intently at the countdown to the start of the game—

　Let's fall into hell together.

　Cong Yu announced it in this way.

　Chapter 965 The Nature of the Game Has Changed

　The fifth game is currently underway.

　At this moment, the first round is coming to an end... In the first round, twelve players were mistakenly matched together.

　According to the rules, because "12 is less than 88", these twelve people were unfortunately eliminated in the first round.

　The first round is a blind selection, so it's inevitable that some people will have bad luck... But Cong Yu and her friends are obviously not that unlucky.

　Moreover, because Cong Yu chose to "reveal her and the other party's cards" when the first round of matching was not completed.

　Blue Left and Blue Right, Muscular Man, and Glasses Man immediately adopted the same strategy, which led other contestants to follow suit.

　Basically, half of the cards on the field are now clear.

　The images were densely packed on the screen.

　"Those who were eliminated don't seem to be planning to leave."

　Lan Zuo and Lan You said this, while Cong Yu nodded and said without hesitation, "Yes, the rules say that these people may interfere with our game in later stages..."

　Such an interesting situation, even if it were Cong Yu, she wouldn't choose to leave; instead, she would continue playing the game.

　Cong Yu felt that many of the party games she had played before had similar designs... This was undoubtedly a good idea.

　As Cong Yu was thinking this...

　[Attention all contestants, the penalty round is about to begin. Contestants who cannot withstand the punishment should be prepared to give up at any time.]

　Many of the remaining 88 contestants started to feel nervous after the announcement…

　According to the rules, contestants who remain on the field will be subject to penalties such as burning, electric shock, increased temperature, decreased temperature, and stinging.

　The severity will gradually increase until it becomes fatal.

　[Punishment begins]

　The moment the broadcast finished, Cong Yu immediately felt a jolt of electricity coming from the chair behind her.

　There's no danger. Even if an ordinary person were here, they would probably only experience a momentary electric shock and burning sensation...

　It was like being hit by a low-powered stun gun [snap!]... nothing more.

　But it will definitely hurt.

　"what!"

　"Roar!"

　"I swear!"

　"Ahhh!"

　"..." In that instant, most of the contestants let out a sudden cry of pain... after all, it was an unexpected punishment.

　To fit in, Cong Yu also pretended to exclaim "Ah!"... but in reality, he didn't feel anything special.
