Chapter 404 Reveals the Results
"Yes, my car is the strongest bumper car among humans, which is why we unlocked the Monster Arena bumper car."
"My car is very heavy, but it was damaged like that at the beginning, which means the monster's car is even heavier."
Zhang Yuning followed this line of thought.
"When would you add weight? First, to prevent yourself from being knocked over by the other party; second, to make it easier for yourself to knock over others."
"We can get points without overturning the monster cars, which means the first point is not true. That means their scoring requirement is to overturn us."
Zhang Weimin exclaimed, "Wow! Xiao Ning, I think you're right! You've actually improved!"
Lu Youyou: "No, no, let me think again... We can get points even without knocking them over because our rule card says 'collision' is enough."
"Then they can upgrade their weight because of the rule card scoring premise: they can't be knocked over, but what is the scoring action? Is it knocking us over or hitting us? We can't seem to tell the difference."
Zhang Yuning suddenly realized that, at first glance, the two possibilities he mentioned seemed reasonable, but in reality, they confused the scoring premise with the scoring action.
What if the monster team's scoring action is to collide with humans, but the prerequisite for scoring is that they cannot be knocked over by humans?
"After these two collisions, wouldn't the Monster Team have 40 points?"
"Based on the reaction to the second impact, it's highly likely that the monster team didn't upgrade their vehicles, meaning they're holding onto their points!"
"If they do it three more times, they'll accumulate 100 points and be able to submit the task!"
Zhang Yuning became increasingly alarmed as he spoke, even feeling that he had no chance of winning.
Lu Youyou smiled bitterly: "We get 20 points for each collision, but the monster team might not. What if they get 30 points or even more for each successful collision?"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the bus fell silent.
"I don't think so. We've probably exchanged rule cards with others before, and a general rule is that the simpler the scoring action and the simpler the scoring premise, the lower the score."
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively to her, and wanting to encourage them, Wang Qiao used herself as an example.
"One of my rules was that I would get points for bumping into someone, and there were no restrictions on whether I would be knocked over or at what speed I would bump into someone. But guess how many points I got for each bump? Only 1 point."
"This time, we can get 20 points for each collision with someone, because the condition is driving in reverse. If it were someone else, let's say it was Youyou driving, would we be able to get those points?"
"We can't ignore the difficult scoring conditions just because Uncle Zhang is capable. So, the monsters can really gain points just by being hit by us once. We haven't seen them hit us with the back of the car or the side yet, which means the points gained are small."
After Wang Qiao's words, everyone gradually recovered from their discouragement and became full of energy.
Zhang Weimin was even more enthusiastic: "Then I'll crash into them now and try to discover more of their rules."
boom!
The airbag-equipped car started and sped off.
Lu Youyou held up her wrist to show Zhang Weimin her multi-functional watch, which was getting closer and closer to the little red dot.
Five minutes later, the two cars collided again.
Zhang Weimin used a prop to see the monster car hidden in reality and crashed into the left side of the car.
Before being hit, the monsters had no defensive measures, and did not even turn the steering wheel to adjust the part of the airbag vehicle that was hit.
The monster immediately drove away, and Zhang Weimin gave chase, this time crashing into the right side of the monster's car.
Just like last time, the monster vehicle had no defenses whatsoever.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Weimin rammed the rear and front of the monster car.
The result was the same: the monster was not afraid of being bumped in any part of its body.
This means that if they are hit, they can actually score points, and the scoring conditions do not restrict which part of the monster car is hit.
These conditions are already quite lenient; even if they have points, they won't get many.
After several trials, Lu Youyou has accumulated 100 points, enough to submit the task and declare victory immediately.
But Lu Youyou did not.
After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to crash into the monster team three more times.
Given their lenient scoring criteria, assuming they get 10 points each time they're hit (and that's an overestimation), they can submit the task after being hit 10 times.
We've already bumped into them six times, so we just need to bump into them three more times and fleece them three more times.
Lu Youyou knew, of course, that she hadn't gotten all the wool, but her estimate of the monster team's score was just a rough estimate, and she didn't know how much she had overestimated.
If you're greedy and the monster submits the quest first, you'll regret it.
After three collisions, Lu Youyou had 160 points.
She didn't know the performance of the next monster's airbag vehicle, so she didn't dare to use the 60 points to upgrade, and simply submitted the mission directly.
[Congratulations on completing the first challenge! You have won the frog family's wager: 50 horse chestnut seeds.]
[Now it's break time. The bumper car race will resume in 10 minutes.]
There were 5 people in the car. The frog family gave 50 seeds, clearly 10 for each person.
Denny was still unconscious, so Lu Youyou couldn't give it to him directly. She could only use Xiao Lu's gifting function to send the seed directly to Denny's backpack.
As for Lu Youyou's own seeds, she immediately planted them in the advanced plant planting box after receiving them, planting them right next to the clover, so that they could be pruned together.
After tidying up the seeds, Lu Youyou got out of the car and searched through the airbag vehicle left behind by the frog family.
"Found them, their rule cards!"
Lu Youyou picked it up and showed it to everyone.
[Successfully knocked over the humans, earning 20 points. Prerequisite: All members of the human vehicle were knocked off.]
"Ah! When we didn't add that weight, our butts were just off the seats, but the rest of the time we were rock solid. Doesn't that mean... the Monster Team didn't score a single point?"
Zhang Yuning was filled with regret, slapping his thigh in frustration.
"If we had known this would happen, we would have rammed them a hundred or two hundred times, and our airbag truck would have been an overkill for both humans and monsters!"
Lu Youyou also felt that all her previous analysis had become a joke.
Pretending to go to the redemption machine to mislead yourself, or the leniency of the scoring conditions...
After thinking so much, the frog family didn't get a single penny.
But she was still glad she was cautious. Being greedy for small things is one thing, but being greedy for big things easily increases desires and will eventually lead to utter ruin.
She patted Zhang Yuning on the shoulder to comfort him, but before she could say anything, she saw that Zhang Yuning had already composed himself.
“Youyou, I know what you want to say. I don’t blame anyone, I just feel a little regretful. But if we could go back in time, I would still listen to you and make this choice.”
Zhang Weimin also said, "Although Youyou's idea didn't bring us much, it was safe enough. In the world of survival, the most precious thing is safety."
Wang Qiao: "Uncle Zhang and Yuning are right."
Lu Youyou smiled; she was happy to be understood and sympathized with by everyone.
