Chapter 175 A Little War
Little Wars

Game background: In a distant fantasy world, two kingdoms are involved in a small-scale but fierce war for a piece of magical land. Players will play the role of the commander of one of the kingdoms, and use wisdom and strategy to deploy troops, defeat opponents and win victory with limited resources.

Game rules: Resource settings: At the beginning of the game, both sides receive a fixed number of resource points (100 points) to produce three types of soldiers: melee soldiers (consume 20 points), mages (consume 30 points), and defenders (consume 25 points). Each side can produce up to 5 units, and the total number is determined by the total amount of resources.

Arms settings:

Melee Soldier: Medium attack power, fast speed, good at directly fighting enemy units, especially mages, but not very effective against defenders.

Mage: High attack power, but low health and slow speed. Can attack from a distance and has extra damage to defenders, but can be easily defeated by melee soldiers at close range.

Defender: High health and strong defense, can effectively resist melee attacks, but is relatively vulnerable to magic attacks from mages.

Battlefield environment: The battlefield is a straight line. Both sides start from the two ends and move towards each other until they meet and start fighting. The battle is round-based, and both sides can move and attack in each round.

Victory conditions: destroy all enemy units or make the enemy unable to fight effectively (for example, all units are seriously injured and unable to move).

Luo Xi looked at the rules introduction of a game scene in his hand and smiled slightly.

"Luo Xi, I think you will be interested in this little game because it is very simple to play and the key lies in strategy. Someone over there wants to have a 'pre-read battle' with me, that is, directly pre-set at least five rounds of battle, then place a bet, and then automatically fight according to the preset strategy. In the five-round battle, whoever wins three rounds first will be the winner."

Guo Zening was explaining, he was a little nervous.

"Is it the opponent you defeated before?" Luo Xi asked.

Guo Zening nodded and added, "There are quite a few of them."

Luo Xi smiled.

Can’t afford to lose, want to increase the bet, not only to win back what was lost before, but also to make a big profit.

This is typical gambler mentality.

"That's great. Just say you agree to the competition." Luo Xi said.

Guo Zening was helpless: "I couldn't disagree. They said they would not agree, so they peeled off my skin, sprinkled salt on my flesh, and planted grass on my skin."

"They are pretty ruthless." Luo Xi raised his head and looked into the distance. There was a group of people looking at him with ill intentions. They were obviously the group who had lost to Guo Zening in the real-time strategy game before.

"How many rounds did they lose just now?"

"Three."

"You won consecutively?"

"Ok!"

"Sure!" Luo Xi laughed, then stood up: "You watch over Brother Mao first, I'll go over and check it out."

Obviously, the opponent chose "Little War" and proposed five consecutive "pre-reading battles" in order to eliminate Guo Zening's advantages in game operation as much as possible.

Especially in the pre-reading battle, the strategy awakening is too great.

Because the characteristic of "Little Wars" is that fixed resources produce three fixed types of soldiers, and the three types of soldiers restrain each other. This is a bit like a game of rock-paper-scissors. If you choose a strategy specifically targeting your opponent, then you will almost certainly win.

For example, if three defenders fight against three melee soldiers, they will have an absolute advantage and will win 100%. Similarly, if three mages fight against three defenders, they will also have an advantage and the winning rate is nearly 100%.

Therefore, if you can predict the opponent's tactics, you can target them well, but because it is a "pre-read battle", it is equivalent to consuming five rounds of resources at the beginning, and the production of troops is determined.

It becomes even more difficult to win.

In this case, the correct answer is to get in touch with the other party, understand their personality, deduce the tactics they may adopt based on their personality, and target them accordingly. This is the correct answer.

Luo Xi walked over.

There are five people on the opposite side.

It can be seen that these people who have recalled memories are not at the same level as the senior ones he met in Youzuo Temple. The gap is quite large. Only two of them obtained the card ring, and the rest did not even get the card ring.

However, this standard cannot be used to fully measure strength.

To Luo Xi, he treats everyone equally.

"I heard that you're going to have a 'pre-reading battle' with my brother for five consecutive games?" Luo Xi went straight to the point.

"Are you in the same group? That's right, let me ask you if you dare." The person on the opposite side spoke, and his expression, actions, language and tone, all the details were captured by Luo Xi in an instant.

Lin Qiqi relies on soul-reading to judge a person's strength and state of mind.

But her way cannot be copied by others, whereas Luo Xi's way seems to be something that can be mastered as long as one observes carefully. However, it is also more difficult to use these to understand a person's character and strength, because sometimes the conclusions drawn based on these judgments may be different for each person.

This requires experience and control over people's hearts.

"What are you betting on?" Luo Xi asked.

"Normally, in five mini-games, each participant gets one [Memory] card. The winner gets two cards, and the loser gets nothing. But I think playing like this is too boring. How about raising the stakes? For five games, we'll bet an extra 2 [Memory] cards."

The man thought the stakes were high enough and looked very proud of himself. He probably wanted to see a shocked expression on Luo Xi's face.

But he was obviously disappointed.

Not to mention that 10 [Memories] could not possibly shock Luo Xi. Even the previous game with the Mystic and the Scorpion was based on more than a dozen [Memories].

Having seen big scenes, how could I be shocked when seeing this?
In the end, Lin Qiqi won four times the bet, and the Scorpion lost everything, including his life and memory. The Mystic stopped the loss in time, but also paid the price of 20 [Memories]. In the previous round, Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi had a great harvest, and the number of [Memories] in the card book alone was close to thirty.

So at this moment, although the other party thought this scene was a big gamble, Luo Xi really didn't feel anything at all.

"That's good!" Luo Xi stretched out a finger at this time.

"In each game, there is an extra functional card. Five games means five cards. In other words, whoever wins, in addition to the 10 [Memories], can win five more functional cards. [Spells] and [Grudges] are both fine. Weapons, curses, and creature cards are even better. It depends on what you have. Or [Gold Coins] are also fine." As soon as Luo Xi finished speaking, the faces of the five people on the opposite side changed.

The reason was simple: I was stunned.

You have to know that the value of functional cards is definitely higher than [Memory]. With this calculation, it is equivalent to gambling with more than 20 [Memory].

This is so exciting.

The problem is, even if the five of them put together can collect all these cards, they don’t know.

Maybe.

But it is definitely a serious injury.

"What? You don't dare? Or maybe you don't have enough cards? If you don't have enough cards, I can lend you some. Of course, you have to pay interest." Luo Xi still acted calmly.

The expressions of the five people opposite were even uglier.

"Fuck, you're quite good at pretending. Who are you trying to scare? Don't think you can scare us by just talking big. We are all from Shiyi, as if no one is worse than who else. You have killed people, and so have I. What's so great about that?" A Shiyi man sneered and cursed.

Very ruthless.

But he appears to be powerful but is actually weak.

Some of the other people were timid and were ready to back out, while others were indecisive and greedy, thinking they could win.
Every person's expression and movement is a projection of his or her mental state.

If there are people who are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, Luo Xi believes that there must be, but if all five of them are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and there is not a single flaw in their acting skills.

The possibility of that is almost zero.

"So, you agree?" Luo Xi seemed not to hear the C language from the other party. He had a calm expression, like a serious and honest man with no bad intentions.

"I agree. Why wouldn't you agree? Come on, fill in the preset cards. After you fill them out, just put the five cards and the preset strategy card in, and it'll be done." The other party said with a sneer, probably thinking that Luo Xi was bluffing them.

So be more proactive and more urgent.

Little do they know that this itself is a manifestation of guilty conscience.

In terms of emotion management and influencing others, Luo Xi clearly has an absolute advantage. There is a saying in psychology that emotions are the remote control that controls a person. How to manage oneself and how to influence the decisions of others is an important criterion for measuring whether a person is psychologically strong.

Those five people had obviously been influenced by Luo Xi.

They even forgot that the person they were going to compete with was not the one in front of them, but Guo Zening.

The duel arena of "Little War" is right in front, with two combat zones A and B, and a large screen in the middle. After planning resource consumption, troop production and formation, you can choose to start the battle.

The system operates according to the preset choices of the commanders of both sides.

If it is a 'pre-read battle', the strategy cards you get are five consecutive printed ones.

There is a staff member here, who should be the 'administrator' in charge of this mini-game.

Like a cosplayer, wearing armor and with a sword at his waist.

Exactly the same as the knight in the game.

When Luo Xi asked the other party whether he could accept the bet and how to constrain the two parties to the bet to execute the contract, the knight administrator gave an answer that made Luo Xi very satisfied.

"Don't worry. I can give both of you a definite guarantee of fairness and justice. In addition, I can also judge and rule on the duel. If anyone breaks their promise, they will be punished for violating the rules."

"That's good!"

Luo Xi was relieved.

In this way, the possibility of the other party wanting to default on the debt after losing is also blocked.

Luo Xi did not hesitate at all. He quickly filled out the strategy card, seemingly formulating a strategy at random without thinking, and paid the five [Memory] cards required for the five games. He then explained the content of the bet to the administrator.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the five people who were recalling their memories.

"I've got it all done, it's your turn now."

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.

To be honest, those five people were a little scared at this time.

The main reason was that Luo Xi acted too normally, as if he didn't feel distressed at all and wasn't worried about losing at all.

You know, there are ten [Memories] plus five functional cards.

Anyone who is a memory maker knows the value of these things.

"Or does he think he can win?"

"Impossible. If it's just a one-round duel, maybe we can rely on strategy to make decisions and develop targeted resource consumption, troop production, and formation methods. But if we develop strategies for five consecutive duels together, he won't be able to predict our future strategies because even we don't know. If we don't predict, it's all a matter of luck and fortune."

"It depends on luck. It's a 50-50 chance. No one has a guaranteed chance of winning. So we can conclude that the other party is acting and bluffing. He is actually bluffing us and wants us to give in and retreat."

"This possibility is very high!"

"That"

"Compared with him, what are we afraid of? The five of us are afraid of them. If we really lose, we will use force against them. I have asked around, and the scene here does not prohibit fighting each other."

"Ok, deal!"
