Chapter 169 Lin 77 vs. Mystic
Chapter 169 Lin Qiqi VS Mystic
"The third round of selections is over, and still no one has won. Haha, everyone is lucky. But starting from the fourth round, we have to work harder. Then, the fourth round of betting begins."
The gambler was laughing, still stirring up emotions, with an inexplicable excitement.
Luo Xi glanced at Lin Qiqi at this time, and the latter understood and immediately communicated through his fingertips.
"The gambler's mood has been very strange, inexplicably high, and the soul color is stable. The mystic is a little agitated, but still very stable. He seems to have something to rely on. As for the poisonous scorpion, she has panicked a long time ago and is just holding on now."
Through Lin Qiqi, he could observe everyone's mental state, which was an advantage that others did not have, especially for gamblers. Perhaps he could judge whether the numbers they chose exceeded the other party's number based on the state of the other party's soul.
It seems that betting only one "Memory" card has become a convention.
In the fourth round, each person still gets one ticket.
There are already 16 [memories] on the plate.
However, this time when choosing numbers, no one took the initiative. Obviously, everyone was observing and wanted to refer to other people's bets.
No one who has really reached this point is a fool.
Even though she was afraid of Lin Qiqi's revenge and the stakes were getting higher and higher, and she was feeling anxious and panicked, Poison Scorpion tried to stay calm and chose to follow and imitate, instead of blindly choosing based on her own ideas.
Again, the key to this number approximation game is not how close it is to the gambler's number, but to see which of the four of them is closer.
Even if the gambler's number is 400 and their numbers are no more than 100, as long as someone's number is 101, that person will win.
That's the rule.
On the contrary, if you rashly increase the sum of your own numbers, thus being ahead of everyone else, it seems to be closer to the number of a gambler, but at the same time, it is also closer to exceeding the limit.
If one accidentally explodes, you will be out.
By then, everything will be lost.
Until the last round, everyone will choose to be conservative, so it is a good strategy to keep close to others and not be too far behind in numbers.
And if the number explodes, it is very likely that the other party will explode first, or they will explode together.
Luo Xi glanced at the Poison Scorpion and the Mystic Master and said, "It's your turn to choose first this time."
"Why should we go first? If you want to choose, then you choose. What's it to you whether we choose or not?" Scorpion directly retorted. She had a gloomy face and her pretty face was full of malice. However, in Luo Xi's eyes, she was more like a weak, mentally retarded hedgehog covered with thorns.
Although he doesn't have the strength, he's good at pretending to be tough.
Luo Xi glanced past her and looked at the mystic: "This is just my kind reminder. Maybe this round can decide the outcome. It may also be your last chance to choose numbers first. Are you sure you want to give up this opportunity?"
Being mysterious and playing tricks?
Or is there really something to rely on?
The mystic was also thinking about this matter with an expressionless face.
Obviously in his eyes, although Lin Qiqi is strong, she is no match for him. He is confident that he can suppress the other party in terms of both strength and intelligence.
But who is this man?
I have never seen him before. He should be an unknown person. An unknown person, a novice who may not have survived ten cycle days, actually dares to put on airs in front of me.
This guy, does he really think that he can beat me by relying on a little cleverness and understanding the rules of this gambling game?
Ha, so innocent and cute.
To completely destroy such lovely and innocent people, to torture their will, and to watch them go from self-righteousness to collapse and despair, this is what the mystic wants to see.
It seemed that this was one of the few pleasures he had during his days of confinement.
"For me, this bet is just a pastime. Winning or losing is just a matter of thought. But if you don't dare to choose, then I will choose." The mystic showed great self-confidence at this moment. He gave people the feeling that he was a person with a doctoral degree who ran to the kindergarten and watched the children do math problems.
He selected one from the remaining number cards.
49!
It can be said to be quite satisfactory, but also a little risky, because according to the overall numerical range, the mystic directly increased his total number to 244.
It has reached a relatively dangerous critical value.
Poison Scorpion did not choose, still waiting for Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi's choice. Luo Xi smiled at this time and chose 48, which just brought the total to 245.
Exactly 1 more than the Mystic.
The mystic over there had obviously expected Luo Xi to make this choice and just sneered.
Lin Qiqi followed suit, but she chose 51. Originally, 50 would have been fine, but this number was chosen by the Poison Scorpion in the first round. At this moment, the sum of Lin Qiqi's four numbers was 247.
He became the tallest among the current few people.
Of course, the highest number may mean that it is closer to the number of a gambler, but it may also mean that it has already exploded.
Risks and opportunities coexist.
Only Poison Scorpion was left. She lowered her head and said nothing. She thought carefully for a long time before gritting her teeth and choosing 54. This time her total reached 248, surpassing Lin Qiqi and becoming the one with the highest total.
After the four people had made their choices, several people looked at the gambler, waiting for it to announce the results of the fourth round.
The gambler smiled at this time: "Fourth round, congratulations, you all didn't bust, it was so thrilling, the next is the last round, this is a crucial round, winning or losing depends on your choice, so, as usual, proceed to bet on the fifth round!"
In fact, there is no need for gamblers to remind you, everyone knows how crucial this fifth round is.
Because this round is over, no matter what, a showdown must be held to see who has the closest combined numbers, or who will accidentally explode.
Naturally, how to choose and who chooses first in this round is extremely important.
And at this moment, the mystic suddenly stepped forward.
The others were stunned, thinking that the other party was quite active this round.
But the next moment, something incredible happened. The mystic did something, it seemed like he used some kind of card, and he actually took out a paper mask from somewhere.
On the mask, like a printed photo, there is a portrait of Lin Qiqi.
The mystic put on the device and said to the gambler, "I'm betting on all the cards in my deck."
As soon as the words fell, Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi secretly thought that it was not good. "Are you sure?" The gambler was very excited, and his tone was trembling. It was probably the first time he met such a generous gambler, who actually went all in.
"Sure!" The mystic's voice was tinged with a hint of sneer.
"Bet, accepted."
The next moment, as soon as the gambler finished speaking, the mystic took off the mask on his face, and the mask exploded and dissipated. The mystic stepped aside and sneered.
The gambler reached out directly to Lin Qiqi.
"Give me the ring!"
"What?" Lin Qiqi had a question mark on her forehead. She felt something was wrong, but she thought this was too ridiculous. It seemed that the mystic wore a mask with the same photo as her to place a bet, and the gambler actually came to her to ask for the bet.
Why?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an imposter.
"Give me the card ring!" The gambler's tone became a little serious, and it was obvious that he was not joking.
"Wait a minute, he was the one who placed the bet, why are you asking me for the bet? You should ask whoever placed the bet." Lin Qiqi said coldly.
"That's the bet you placed. Give me the ring. Otherwise, you will be punished for violating the rules." The gambler said in a sinister voice, and it can be seen that he seemed to be sneering.
The situation is not good.
The Scorpion was so excited that his face was dancing with joy. It turned out that the mystic's ability was very powerful and this secret method of substitution was simply unsolvable.
"Seventh Brother, let's see what you can do this time. You are dead. When you lose your memory, I will find you and then serve you well." The Scorpion gritted his teeth. As long as he won this round, Lin Qiqi would be dead.
"So that's it!" Luo Xi, who had been observing, now understood what was going on.
He walked over and patted the angry Lin Qiqi.
“Give it to me!”
"No, it's not my bet at all."
"You have no choice." Luo Xi shook his head, and Lin Qiqi immediately understood that the other party was obviously plotting against her.
In fact, not only her, but also Luo Xi might be tricked next.
This is a unique ability of the mystic profession.
Similar to a stand-in or temporary actor, it can make choices for others at critical moments.
Honestly, this ability is pretty powerful and unreasonable.
Even if someone does it right in front of you, there is no way to crack it.
As for gamblers, it may be able to see them, or rather, it can see them but will not expose them.
If it doesn't expose it, it won't break the rules, because it enjoys seeing this scene.
Good for it.
Lin Qiqi took a deep breath, glanced at Luo Xi, then took off the card ring on her finger and handed it to the gambler.
"The bet has been accepted. Please choose your numbers. Remember, this is the final round. Your choice determines the final result."
Luo Xi lowered his head and leaned close to Lin Qiqi's ear and said, "If you lose the card ring, can you still see the soul?"
Lin Qiqi shook her head, biting her lips, with murderous intent in her eyes.
A little frustrated.
But nothing can be done.
"I see." Luo Xi narrowed his eyes. Their plan was disrupted. They had originally planned to observe the gambler's soul through trial and error in the last round to see which numbers would make it nervous, and use that as a reference to choose the range of numbers.
But the mystic's move caught them off guard.
We can only change our strategy temporarily.
Now Lin Qiqi's bet is undoubtedly the biggest, and she can choose numbers first.
"Seven seven, choose 97."
After Luo Xi finished speaking, Lin Qiqi was stunned.
Their previous four rounds of selections can be said to be very safe, except for the first round where they chose the largest number because it was the least dangerous.
The fifth round was very crucial. It should have been safe, but Luo Xi actually asked her to choose the largest number left, 97. In this way, the sum of the five numbers would reach 344.
It was already very high, and no matter how high the numbers chosen by the other people were, they could not exceed Lin Qiqi's 344. Only the Poison Scorpion chose 96, which could reach the same 344 as Lin Qiqi.
But does she dare?
344, the possibility of explosion is very high.
In fact, the probability is over 70%.
If it explodes, you are out.
Even Lin Qiqi couldn't stop her heart from beating wildly. It had to be said that the gambling game had become very exciting at this point.
If she is eliminated, she will definitely lose the card ring.
By then, if you lose everything, it will be very troublesome even if you don’t lose your memory.
But soon, Lin Qiqi understood Luo Xi's intention.
"I understand!" She nodded and said to the gambler, "For the last round, I choose 97."
