Chapter 371 Cheating and Sarcasm

After the ghost-faced man used up the cards in his "right hand", Lin Yu and he each drew a card.

Then, Lin Yu and he each discarded a card - and Lin Yu showed the one he discarded.

Lin Yu discarded, of course, "Scissors".

Both of them showed the remaining card at the same time.

The ghost-faced man said as he turned over the cards: "Shouldn't you... uh, wait?"

He saw the card Lin Yu showed - it was a "rock".

And the card in his hand was a "scissors".

Lin Yu shrugged: "It seems that you thought it would be a fifty-fifty game in the end."

It was obvious...

From the beginning, the ghost-faced man guessed the last card in Lin Yu's hand wrong.

When Lin Yu got two scissors at the beginning, he had an idea.

Indeed, this was an opening that should not be poured with "resources".

But...

Lin Yu's strategy has never been how to "win", but to try not to lose any small game.

So, from the beginning, Lin Yu decided to take risks.

Anyway, there were no cards in his hand that could be used to "exchange cards" resources... So Lin Yu chose to bet all his resources in the first round to lay the groundwork.

As for the use of this foreshadowing... Of course, it is to make the opponent believe that the cards in his hand are "good cards" that can make him devote resources!

After determining that the cards in the opponent's hand are most likely three stones, Lin Yu also further performed.

Whether it is silence or cleanly deducting cards, it is an extension of his "abnormal" behavior at the beginning.

Obviously, Lin Yu successfully made the ghost-faced man believe... the low-probability event that he has two pieces of cloth in his hand.

The ghost-faced man knocked on the table: "I'm curious, but what if I get the 'cloth'?"

Lin Yu answered calmly: "Then it will really become a fifty-fifty game in the end."

The ghost-faced man laughed when he heard this: "It's really interesting... Tell me your question."

"But - don't repeat your previous question, and it won't work if you ask it in another way."

Lin Yu spoke again, but found that the question about the other party's social security card number was stuck on his lips.

I don't know if it's because the other party is an unemployed vagrant who doesn't pay social security, or if this question and "ID number" are judged to be the same question.

But fortunately, Lin Yu still has a backup.

He spoke again: "You pulled me into this dream to play this game. What questions did you prepare for me?"

Lin Yu said calmly.

As long as the other party refuses to answer this question, Lin Yu will get an auxiliary card.

In this way, the cards of the two people are one to one.

But it doesn't matter even if the other party answers...at least I may have prepared it in advance.

Sure enough, the ghost-faced man slowly exhaled.

"Good question."

"In my opinion, there are only two questions I must ask you in person."

"First... what is your 'occupation'?"

"Secondly, what is the reason for you entering the 'death game'?"

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "The second question is quite interesting... but the first question is probably a bit of a waste."

"My occupation is 'doctor'... since you already know that my ID is 'May May', this is not difficult to verify."

The ghost-faced man laughed: "Yes, the result of the investigation is like this... but, guest, I don't believe it."

As he said, he picked up an "auxiliary card".

"Now, you still have one round to think about how to answer my two questions."

Lin Yu nodded, then smiled.

"Why don't you try the question about my ID number?"

The ghost-faced man shook his head.

"My goal is not to make you refuse to answer..."

Lin Yu touched his chin: "What if I report it later?"

The ghost-faced man was shocked when he heard this: "This..."

Obviously, he was shaken.

Lin Yu laughed: "Just kidding... But don't be too happy too soon, Mr. Consultant."

"Maybe I will still win this small game."

"I believe that the god of fate will favor me."

Lin Yu said softly, and the ghost-faced man smiled contemptuously.

"Unfortunately, there is no such god."

As he said, he and Lin Yu drew the "rock-paper-scissors cards" in turn.

But this time, Lin Yu did not check his "rock-paper-scissors cards", but directly put them on the table.

He even randomly shuffled the order, and then put them in place and didn't move.

"I don't have any auxiliary cards in this game, so it doesn't matter who comes first or who comes later."

"Use your auxiliary cards."

Lin Yu said with one hand on his chin.

The ghost-faced man looked at Lin Yu in astonishment.

"But if you don't look at the cards, how can I use my auxiliary cards-what if my auxiliary cards are mouths and ears?"

"Why can't I use them? The least I have in my hand is scissors, and the next card will definitely not be cloth."

Lin Yu said in a light tone.

The ghost-faced man exhaled.

"You are just like cheating."

"You also said, 'like', but I didn't really cheat," Lin Yu looked at him with an attitude that was almost pity, "This is a loophole in your rules..."

It is true that this strange space that can cause interference to people's consciousness is determined. It can ensure that people only tell the truth under certain circumstances - just like Lin Yu just said that he will not play the next one. After "Stone", he felt that his behavior was really subject to some vague restrictions.

The same function also determines the question "whether the other party clearly knows the answer."

The combination of these two functions allowed Lin Yu to catch the loopholes of this game.

If you don't know the "answer", the mechanism that ensures the support cards must be effective no longer works.

The card...was invalidated.

"I didn't expect that your guest... would take advantage of loopholes."

The ghost-faced man was mocked by Lin Yu, and his tone became a little unkind.

But what greeted him could only be Lin Yu's even more unpleasant sarcasm.

"Ha, a guy who pulls others into dreams in the middle of the night, is so sneaky that he doesn't dare to show his true colors, and is even an accomplice in a murder case. Do you want to talk to me about being aboveboard now?"

Lin Yu knocked on the table: "Putting aside the loopholes, as a veteran of this game and maybe even the inventor, your understanding of the gameplay is very shallow."

"You only analyzed whether the card advantage can determine whether to invest resources, but you ignored one point..."

"When your resources are at a disadvantage, this game can actually make your opponent's resources as ineffective as possible and turn it into a game that relies entirely on luck."

"Okay, friend—let's play the cards."

"Let me see if the God of Destiny will be on my side...Although this God does not exist, I hope you have learned rhetorical techniques in Chinese classes in primary and secondary schools."
