Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 372 Cheating and Sarcasm

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

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

What Lin Yu threw away was naturally the "scissors".

Both players reveal the remaining card at the same time.

The Ghost-Faced Man said as he flipped the cards: "Shouldn't you... uh, wait?"

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

The card in his hand is a pair of scissors.

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

It is clear……

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

When Lin Yu got two pairs of scissors at the beginning of the game, he came up with an idea.

Admittedly, this is a start that should not require the investment of “resources”.

but……

Lin Yu’s strategy has never been about how to “win”, but to try not to lose any small game.

So, from the very beginning, Lin Yu decided to take the risk.

Anyway, he didn't have any cards in his hand that could be used to "exchange" resources... So Lin Yu chose to bet all his resources in the first round to pave the way.

As for the purpose of this preparation... of course it is to convince the other party that the cards in his hand are "good cards" that can make him pour resources into them!

After confirming that the cards in the opponent's hand were most likely three stones, Lin Yu further expanded his performance.

Whether it was silence or a clean card slam, it was an extension of his initial "abnormal" behavior.

Obviously, Lin Yu successfully made the ghost-faced man believe... the low-probability event that he had 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 replied calmly: "In the end, it really just became a fifty-fifty game."

Hearing this, the ghost-faced man laughed: "How interesting... Tell me your question."

"But—don't repeat your previous question, and don't ask it in a different way."

Lin Yu opened his mouth again, but found that the question of asking 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 is judged to be the same as the “ID number” question.

But fortunately, Lin Yu still has a backup plan.

He spoke again: "You dragged me into this dream to play this game. What questions did you prepare to ask 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 in advance.

Sure enough, the ghost-faced man slowly exhaled.

"good question."

"It seems to me that there are only two questions I must ask you personally."

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

"Secondly, what was your reason for entering the 'Death Game'?"

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

"My profession is 'Doctor'... Since you already know my ID is 'May May', this shouldn't be difficult to verify."

The ghost-faced man laughed: "Yes, that's the result of the investigation... But, sir, I don't believe it."

As he spoke, he picked up a "support card".

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

Lin Yu nodded and then smiled.

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

The ghost-faced man shook his head.

"My goal isn't to get you to refuse to answer..."

Lin Yu touched his chin and said, "What if I sign up later?"

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

Clearly, he was shaken.

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

"Maybe I will still win this little game."

"I believe that the God of Destiny will favor me."

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

"Unfortunately, there is no such god."

As he spoke, 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 himself, and then left it alone after he had arranged them.

"I don't have any support cards in this round, so it doesn't matter who goes first or last."

"Use your support card."

Lin Yu said with his chin in his hand.

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

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

"Why not? The least I have in my hand is scissors, so the next card I play will definitely not be paper."

Lin Yu said in a brisk tone.

The ghost-faced man exhaled.

"That's almost like cheating."

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

Indeed, this strange space that can interfere with human consciousness determines that it can ensure that people only tell the truth under certain circumstances - just like when Lin Yu said that he would not play "stone" next, he felt that his behavior was really subject to some subtle constraints.

The same function also applies to the question of "whether the other party clearly knows the answer".

When these two functions were combined, Lin Yu discovered the loophole in the game.

If you don't know the "answer", then the mechanism that ensures that the auxiliary cards must take effect will no longer work.

The card... was invalidated.

"I never thought that you, my guest... would actually take advantage of this loophole."

The ghost-faced man's tone became somewhat unfriendly after hearing Lin Yu's implicit sarcasm.

But what greeted him was only Lin Yu's even more unpleasant ridicule.

"Ha, you're the guy who dragged someone into a dream in the middle of the night, acted sneakily and didn't dare reveal your true face, and was even an accomplice to a murder. Now you want to talk to me about being aboveboard?"

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

"You only analyzed whether the card advantage determines whether to invest resources, but you overlooked one point..."

"When you're at a resource disadvantage, the game can actually make your opponent's resources as ineffective as possible, turning it into a game that relies entirely on luck."

"All right, friends—let's show the cards."

"Let's see if the God of Fate will be on my side... Although this god doesn't exist, I hope you learned about rhetoric in your Chinese language class in elementary and middle school."
