Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 537: It's more interesting to win by yourself"You guys are insane!?"
The one-eyed pirate who had just left the dark space glared angrily at the remaining three people.
These three clearly knew that he was the one who had lost, yet they still bet more on him.
Besides misleading him, the one-eyed pirate couldn't see any possible benefit in this.
The spirit-state young man adjusted his non-existent glasses, calmly watching the furious one-eyed pirate.
"It's time for the second round. I request to play rock-paper-scissors with him."
"You! You all!"
Clearly, the three people left outside seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.
The request appeared, and the game forcibly began.
"Miss Mo Shi, would you like to hear our plan?"
"Of course I can, Fengfeng~"
Though she wasn't sure if it was an illusion, Fengfeng always felt that when this girl called her name, it sounded like she was calling an old friend.
No, it must be an illusion. After all, the two didn't know each other before...
She shook the strange thought out of her mind and then began explaining the trio's plan.
Although this trial was an individual competition, relatively speaking, eliminating one person as early as possible was beneficial for everyone else.
So after Mo Shi and the one-eyed pirate's first game ended, whichever side had fewer chips, the others would immediately challenge them to a game.
Those still outside would transmit cheating signals to their ally inside the dark space, betting more chips on the winner of the rock-paper-scissors game.
And after suffering a loss in the previous round's game, when the one-eyed pirate saw that the number of bets on him was still [more], there was a high probability he would think he was still the loser just like in the previous game.
Therefore, he wouldn't dare to bet more, and might even negate the result of this round.
After all, he had very little time to think. Having just lost, he was immediately thrown into the next round of the game, with no opportunity or ability to consider more complex logic.
Because in this situation, the more he thought about it, the more he would fall into a logical dead end.
And if the winner was that spirit-state young man, that would be even better.
So, no matter what, the outcome of the one-eyed pirate's rock-paper-scissors game this round wasn't important.
As long as the remaining few people collaborated, there was a high probability of eliminating him this round. Even if they couldn't, they could still weaken an opponent as much as possible in the following two trials.
"So, Miss Mo Shi, will you join our alliance?"
Mo Shi blinked.
"No~"
"Why? Eliminating someone first should be good for you too."
"Because it's boring~"
Mo Shi looked toward the direction of the surveillance camera.
"Though I can't see who started this game~ but such a fun thing, of course it's more interesting to win it yourself, hehe~"
The two cross-shaped light stars in her eyes flickered with black light, and at that very moment.
The rock-paper-scissors result between the one-eyed pirate and that spirit-state young man inside the sealed space was also out.
The pirate had scissors, the young man had paper.
The pirate won. According to the alliance of the other three, Fengfeng and the remaining knight should bet more chips on the pirate.
Just like the previous round, each person only needed to put in one chip, and the loss wouldn't be too much at any time.
But...
"I'm betting 40 chips~ on this pirate uncle~"
All forty chips were thrown to the pirate's side.
Instantly, the expressions on Fengfeng and that knight's faces became extremely complex.
If they followed their plan, they now only needed to also bet one chip on the pirate.
After all, according to their analysis, this guy would definitely choose to negate this round's game.
But...
This is forty chips.
What did the rules say?
[The chips bet by the bettors on the [winner]'s side whose victory is negated this round will be equally divided among the bettors on the [loser]'s side]
Right, as long as they could each separately bet one chip on the young man's side, then once the pirate refused, all of Mo Shi's bets would belong to one person.
If both of them bet one chip each, they could each get twenty chips.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a good outcome.
But there was another possibility.
Suppose Fengfeng bet two chips, and the knight bet one chip, then the number of chips Fengfeng would "equally divide" would become two-thirds, which is twenty-six plus one extra chip.
So, as long as one person bet more, the final gain would also become larger.
Yes, that's right. The equal division mentioned in the rules never said it had to be equal.
This was a question Fengfeng had asked during the previous round's game.
In that instant, that utterly unreliable alliance quietly shattered.
The bubble of false trust was popped.
That knight was the first to place a bet on the spirit-state young man.
"I bet ten chips."
"Brother Qiyan, weren't they in an alliance? Why did they suddenly abandon their previous plan, and without even discussing it?"
Watching the images and sounds transmitted from the surveillance screen, Zhao Lin was slightly puzzled.
The rules of the rock-paper-scissors game weren't originally this complicated. Most of them were forcefully added to this low-level station world by Ye Qiyan through his [Trial Participant] authority.
When Zhao Lin used this game card before, she never considered anything else. She just needed to simply extend her hand and rely on luck to win.
But it wasn't that she lacked brains, she just didn't quite understand these people's choices.
"Because this is an individual trial. There's only one winner. Any alliance, any trust is fake. The content of the three trials is nothing more than weakening others and strengthening oneself. So why bother caring about so-called alliances?
Moreover, according to their plan, that girl named Mo Shi bet all her chips. The moment the pirate negates the result, wouldn't that also achieve their initial goal? To have one person eliminated early."
"But, why would that girl named Mo Shi do this? I think the analysis by the remaining few people is quite correct. If I were facing this situation now and found that the number of bets on me was still more, I would definitely choose to negate this round's game to give myself more time to think, at least to figure out the specific situation."
Ye Qiyan yawned, stretched leisurely, pinched the rabbit ears of Eve, who was squatting beside him, and teased:
"So you're not the one-eyed pirate."
"Huh?"
"Meaning, people are different. How do you know that pirate thinks the same way you do?"
He watched the black-haired girl on the surveillance screen who showed no worry at all and was still smiling.
"She feels... somewhat familiar..."
