He had just received 20 points, and as soon as he received a new task, he found that the other party had given him a level 3 problem. The difficulty of this problem was comparable to that of the 15-point task, but he had not received any reward for completing this problem. It could even be said that if he did not complete it, he would not even be able to submit points.

"It's still a step too late... Kanzaki-kun, didn't you submit your points?"

"As soon as I went downstairs, I received a message from the equipment saying that a difficult problem had been found. Naturally, I did not submit it."

Ryuji Kanzaki also sighed helplessly. The progress on their side was indeed a little slow.

There was a dispute when the three tasks were first assigned. They were not trying to shirk responsibility but each wanted to take one.

Although it was decided in the end to let Kushida-san have a bye, Kanzaki Ryuji had already seen that the unity on his side was completely lacking.

Katsuragi did want to unite, but Horikita was not willing to cooperate at all. Kushida also liked to go against Horikita, and it can be said that a lot of time was wasted in the middle.

Before I finished my mission, Katsuragi suggested that I submit my points because Horikita and Kushida had gone to take on new missions. I guess they're going to fight again...

I don't know what's going on, but when it comes to this competition, Horikita's enthusiasm is very high. She wants to win and show that she has made a great contribution, which has led to disunity in the Tiger team and caused big problems.

Chapter 49 I admit that I gambled, but I won

"This is a difficult problem... I can solve this problem..."

Looking at the level 3 problem in front of her, Horikita Suzune stubbornly wanted to complete it by herself.

As for that mission? It was given to Kushida. Doesn't she want to do it? Let her do it.

It's just checkers, nothing interesting.

There is no problem more important than this one.

When it comes to difficult problems, basically both teams need to do a lot.

一次15积分,一共100积分,那么基本上是要做6道难度3的难题和1道难度2的难题,亦或者是7道难度3的难题。

As for whether someone would choose to send the difficulty 1 problem to the other side... Horikita thought it was impossible.

The time spent on the three difficulty level 1 puzzles was not as long as that on the difficulty level 3 puzzles, so she had never thought about why Germain designed it this way, nor did she have the intention to think about it.

Now she just wanted to perform well in front of her brother.

Manabu Horikita was the champion of the first season of Gambit. There were only two people participating in the competition at that time, and Manabu Horikita was one of them.

So it was 1v1.

There was also a wits contest in the second grade, and the winning team was Nanyun Miyabi and Horie Hitomi. It was 2v2.

But this time, it was 4v4, and the increase in the number of people brought a lot of pressure to Horikita Suzune.

Not only did she want to win, but she also wanted to win brilliantly. She didn't want to show that she was being led by her teammates. It could be said that she fantasized about defeating Team Three Dragons alone.

But this was very difficult, so she made some concessions, such as handing over the captaincy to Katsuragi.

As a brain player, it is natural for Katsuragi to be the captain. She only needs to solve various difficult problems.

Just now, she successfully solved a task worth 15 points, but unfortunately her progress was not as fast as the other team. The other team submitted points faster, which made her face a difficult problem.

It’s not a big problem. Only one question instead of two means that the other party’s points are less than 30, so there’s still time.

At this time, Horikita Suzune was still very passionate and excited.

But after school that day, she was solving a problem when she found that her device was vibrating again.

'Tiger team received a difficulty level 3 puzzle. Tiger team received a difficulty level 2 puzzle.'

The two consecutive messages suddenly changed Horikita Suzune's expression. She stopped trying to solve the problem and went to find Katsuragi Kōhei immediately.

"They're already over 33 points."

Just when Horikita Suzune arrived at Class A, Kanzaki Ryuji had already begun to put pressure on Katsuragi Kōhei.

"I know, I know... but it might be a good thing. We don't have many points right now."

Katsuragi Kohei let out a breath. He was now looking at the device in his hand, which showed that the allocated points were 25 points, which was not particularly many.

"So just to be on the safe side, in addition to your 15 points, I will distribute the remaining 10 points to the remaining three people in the form of 3, 3, 4. We can only take a gamble."

Perhaps Germain had anticipated this situation. The points had to be distributed to the team members within 30 minutes after the task was completed, which meant that the points had to be distributed.

"The only problem now is that we don't know how they will proceed. We can only bet that they can't see that your score has reached 15 points."

While Katsuragi Kohei was saying this, the real estate agency was also having a discussion.

After class, everyone went to the place to pay points. After ensuring that 33 points were paid, the real estate agent planned to let Ichinose start observing to see how many points they had.

"According to the current situation... the opponent must have 15 points. According to Katsuragi's way of thinking, he should have the same plan as me, to let someone pay 15 points first to put pressure on the opponent, and the points cannot be redistributed twice. There must be someone with 15 points, and this person with 15 points is definitely not the ear position."

The speculation is naturally bold and the choice is cautious. In this regard, the first thing that the real estate agent rules out is the ear position.

Because what the ear position needs to do is to find tasks, and the tasks and the submission locations are not together, so if you want to maximize efficiency, one person must submit the points, and the ear players will take on new tasks.

After excluding the ears, the second area the real estate agent plans to exclude is the eyes.

He knew who the person at the eye location was - Kikyo Kushida.

As for why the person who knew the position of the eye wouldn't get the points... it was because he had the people from Class C keep an eye on him.

It is true that classmates are not allowed to participate in the intelligence competition to help answer the questions, but it does not prohibit classmates from helping to keep an eye on the students.

Not to mention the people he sent to follow, he himself knew that Kushida and Horikita set out together. The two of them made such a loud noise at that time that their argument could be heard throughout the entire corridor.

So of course the real estate agent knew that Kushida was not one of them. She and Horikita went there together to accept the mission, and Horikita was an ear contestant, so both she and Kushida were excluded.

Then the result is easy to predict.

"Let's take a look at the points of the opponent's player."

"Are you planning on taking a gamble?"

"Well, it's just a 50% risk."

"Fifty percent? Is the probability that low?"

Arisu Sakayanagi didn't expect that only 50% of what the real estate agent had expected would happen.

"There's a 50% chance it will work or not. I can't say for sure whether my guess will work out the way I expected, so there's only a 50% chance of whether I guessed it right or not."

"Okay, fifty percent is enough."

Ryuen Shoko didn't want to see the two people arguing, so she directly picked up Ichinose's device, selected the eye's authority, and then selected the opponent's hand player to directly observe his points situation.

"Sure enough, 15 points, full."

"Okay, then just take it away."

The real estate agent was delighted to receive 15 points, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Not to mention the real estate agent, even Ichinose applauded.

"Okay, I've brought it over."

Ryuen Shoko placed the device on the table, and the real estate agent immediately saw 15 points appear in his allocation rights.

"Go quickly and submit these fifteen points. Who among you will go?"

"I'll go, I'll go."

Ichinose excitedly ran downstairs with her equipment. She had been there several times, so she was naturally familiar with the place.

Her screams were also heard by several people in Class A.

Ichinose's happy voice made Katsuragi's expression change drastically. Not only Katsuragi, but the expressions of the four people changed. They immediately looked at their devices to see what was going on.

Chapter 50: Germain's Thoughts

"The gap is so big at the beginning... Tsk tsk, it seems that we need to adjust the rules later."

Germain watched the development of this scene slowly in his office. He couldn't help but sigh a few times, looking very sad.

55 points to 10 points, the score widened so much in just one day.

"Oh, what a pity. I guess that kid has learned his lesson. He will probably choose to play it safe the second time."

Germain shook his head, waiting for the second points fight.

The Tiger Team needs 23 more points to make their first capture, while the Dragon Team only has 11 points left for the next one.

In other words, if the Dragon Team submits 15 points again, they can directly carry out the second theft.

The Dragon Team’s advantage is now quite huge.

"But it's absurd that they could get 15 points directly... So the other team must have been exposed... Luck is unlikely."

Compared to luck, Germain believed more in speculation. Although there was an element of gambling, there was no doubt that he had made the right bet.

"But the difficulty of the puzzles has to be lowered later, otherwise the snowball will start to roll and we'll be doomed. Fortunately, the second stage is longer, so there's a chance we can turn the tables."

Germain muttered to himself and began to write something on his hand: "If the difficulty of the puzzle is reduced, people may not be so motivated to solve it. Then... when there are multiple puzzles at the same time, we can deduct points. Well, this is also a way to play. This can also encourage the other party to prepare."

Having thought it through, Germain continued to adjust the difficulty and would work on it more carefully later.

While he was tinkering with this, the real estate agent was also thinking about the second theft.

"How about this, can't we save the second theft? Let's save the second theft for a while. They must have no money left now, so stealing directly is useless."

The real estate agent is also budgeting the other party's points. It will be difficult to get the second 15 points anyway.

Moreover, after the other party learned that we had given the first difficult problem, Katsuragi would definitely distribute the remaining points to others. This would make it very difficult to steal the second time after the remaining points were evenly distributed.

So the real estate agents had a new idea.

"So, in order to catch the opponent off guard, we will submit each task once we complete it and never keep it in our hands. It doesn't matter how many problems we give the opponent, the important thing is not to let the opponent take away any more points."

The real estate agent simply chose the safe route and went straight to the point of doing things this way.

Although this operation will reduce the difficulty of the puzzle obtained by the opponent, it also has its benefits. It will directly make the opponent's two thefts invalid.

Now that you already have the advantage, there is no need to continue gambling. You can just relax a little.

After having enough ideas, the real estate agent signaled everyone to continue to complete the next task, and it was expected that the points could be increased to 70 points before five o'clock.

In this way, we can enter the second stage around noon tomorrow~

Kōhei Katsuragi was having a headache completing the difficult problems. Now, there were two level 3 problems and one level 2 problem, which made the progress on their side extremely slow. It took them almost half an hour to complete a level 3 problem.

Before, because we had to attend classes, everyone’s efficiency in doing the exercises was not high, and we had to hide to do the exercises.

"I'm done here."

Even though Horikita Suzune knew that her team was at a disadvantage, she still continued to work hard to solve the level 3 problem at hand.

After completing this, Horikita Suzune looked at Katsuragi Kohei and said, "So what should we do next?"

"Next... accept the task, do the task, but don't submit it."

Katsuragi Kohei thought about it and finally had to do this: "When we have a difficult problem, we must not submit the task. We are already at a disadvantage, so we must seek progress in a stable manner."

One step slow leads to every step slow. Katsuragi Kohei really didn't expect that his luck would be so bad that the real estate agent really guessed who on his team had saved that point.

But the situation is not hopeless now. He thought about it and felt that in the first stage, his team would definitely be slower than the Dragon Team, but this did not mean that they would be slow throughout the whole process. We would definitely have our own advantages somewhere.

"Everyone keep working hard. We will continue to do the questions. The task will be completed by the two of you. When we have finished the questions, you will submit the task."

While solving the difficult problems, Kōhei Katsuragi calculated the distribution of points. If he went according to the plan... he should be able to steal after finishing all the difficult problems this time.

He always felt that the real estate agent would definitely be on guard against theft.

If the Dragon Team can steal 15 points from the Tiger Team, then the Tiger Team may also be able to gain 15 points from the Dragon Team.

All we can say is that this time, Kōhei Katsuragi made an unfamiliar mistake. If he had participated in a few such competitions of wits, perhaps this would not have happened.

"Oh, this is really a headache."

Muttering softly, Katsuragi Kohei always felt that he was really the chief war criminal this time.

The morale of the Tiger Team is low, while the morale of the Dragon Team is high.

The next task was also completed very quickly. While the Tiger Team was working hard to answer the difficult question, the Dragon Team also successfully got another 2048 points out of 10.

So after answering these three difficult questions, there were another difficult question of difficulty 3 and difficulty 2, which made Katsuragi Kohei's face look even worse.

The reason for his bad face was not only because he had just finished solving a difficult problem when another one came up, but also because this meant that the real estate agency no longer saved points and used up the points immediately after getting them, which made Katsuragi look very bad.

After the 15 points they had taken were deposited, they were given another difficulty level 3, which made Katsuragi realize that they would not be able to surpass the Dragon Team in the first stage. However, their speed of clearing the difficult problems was still faster than their speed of obtaining them. However, when the clock reached six o'clock in the evening, everyone's devices were turned off.

"Ah...how many points did we get in total?"

"Seventy-five points."

Arisu Sakayanagi looked at the score on the device and nodded.
