Day of Imprisonment

Luo Xi joined the gambling game.

The gambler was very happy, and the other party began to display a set of number cards, a total of one hundred, from 1 to 100.

After the display, everyone began to shuffle the cards.

This was to ensure fairness.

Everyone shuffled the cards, and the secret art master obviously deliberately waited until the last one to shuffle, possibly to tamper with the number cards.

However, it was more likely to be a smokescreen. If such a gambling game could easily tamper with the number cards, then there would be no fairness at all, so this possibility was almost zero.

The other party was just bluffing.

Because essentially, this was a three-way game.

The target of the other party's bluff was not aimed at the gambler, because the gambler could be sure that the number cards would not be tampered with, so needless to say, it was aimed at himself and Lin Qiqi.

Luo Xi knew what those things that hung the corpses were.

At that time, Lin Qiqi was also attacked by the strange spider hidden in the darkness. She didn't have the [Soul-Seizing Bell], so she had to turn on the light immediately to escape.

"Then you met these two people?"

"Yes, that bitch said that she would have a showdown with me sooner or later, so it would be better to use the gambler's game to have a showdown. I also know this gambler, he is very fair. It is difficult to cheat here."

Luo Xi now understood what happened.

"Actually, even if you didn't come out, I would have been confident to win against the two of them," Lin Qiqi said in a low voice at this time.

Luo Xi was stunned, and the next moment, he reacted.

"Could it be... Hehe, did you deliberately lose the first game?"

"Smart, just to make that woman think she is in control of the overall situation."

Luo Xi knew that Lin Qiqi was not bragging.

Others might be bragging when they said this, but Lin Qiqi wouldn't. You must know that she is known as 'Brother Qi' by others.

Just now, Luo Xi could tell from Lin Qiqi's expression that she could observe the souls of Poison Scorpion and the secret art master. Although the souls would not reflect numbers, she could judge the other party's state of mind from the color and the degree of swaying.

This was not the most important thing. Lin Qiqi's real strength was that she could see through the gambler's soul.

That is to say, she could see the gambler's mood, whether he was nervous, excited, or calm, from the swaying and color of his soul.

This was a unique skill of Lin Qiqi.

Because the closer the selected number was to the dealer, that is, the gambler's number, the higher the chance of winning, so when the number was about to explode, that is, exceed the gambler's number, it was impossible for the gambler to be calm.

Relying on these, Lin Qiqi was equivalent to having a reference, at least she had a natural advantage when choosing numbers.

"With you here, our chances of winning are even greater. This time, I will strip that bitch Poison Scorpion naked," Lin Qiqi squinted her eyes, like a hunter staring at her prey.

"Be careful of that secret art master, he might cheat," Luo Xi reminded at this time.

"Cheat? It's not a question of whether he dares or not, can he do it?" Lin Qiqi didn't take it seriously.

At this time, the shuffling was completed, and the gambler had already drawn five cards from the number cards in front of everyone. He turned his back to everyone, looked at them himself, and then put the cards back into the deck and continued to shuffle.

"Hehehe, I have finished drawing and have recorded the sum of the five cards. Next is the open card selection. In the first round, start betting. Whoever bets more will choose first."

There was no doubt that this was a trap.

The minimum bet was 1 [Memory], with no upper limit. Theoretically, you could bet as much as you wanted.

However, everyone's strategy was to use the least amount of [Memory] to obtain the qualification to choose the number cards first.

"Luo Xi, the gambler's soul color is very excited, normal; the secret art master's soul color doesn't show anything, he is very calm; as for that bitch Poison Scorpion, she is a little uneasy, hehe, she is a little scared, I knew it, this bitch has always been a paper tiger."

Lin Qiqi stretched out her hand to hold Luo Xi's hand, and at the same time, a piece of information automatically entered Luo Xi's mind.

This was her special ability.

She could transmit information without speaking.

Very convenient.

Luo Xi nodded and looked at the gambler and asked, "Is the betting done openly or secretly?"

"I don't restrict it, you can discuss it yourself, either way is fine," the gambler replied.

"Then bet openly!" Luo Xi took out 1 [Memory] and handed it to the gambler.

Lin Qiqi also took out 1 and handed it over.

Next were the secret art master and Poison Scorpion, both 1. Obviously, in the first round, everyone's willingness to actively choose a number card was not high. After all, no one knew how much the sum of the 5 number cards drawn by the gambler was.

The range was too large.

"Choose a number. If someone chooses the same number, then the two will bet, and the higher bidder wins!" the gambler said with a smile.

It could be seen that it was eager for several people to increase their bets because of competing for the same number, which was obviously beneficial to it.

Poison Scorpion was the fastest. She immediately chose the number 50.

Obviously, in her opinion, this was the safest number, in the middle, not high or low, the most stable.

Next was Lin Qiqi, she directly chose the number 100.

The largest number was taken away.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xi nodded. With just this step, the comparison of intelligence between Poison Scorpion and Lin Qiqi was already clear.

The reason was very simple. It seemed that the number 50 was in the middle of 1 to 100, which was relatively safe, but in fact, what was really being compared was the sum of 5 numbers. That is to say, choosing 5 numbers from 1 to 100, the sum range was between 15 and 490.

The smallest five numbers were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the sum was 15.

The largest were 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, and the sum was 490.

So the probability of exploding in the first choice was very small, so of course, the bigger the number, the better.

So Luo Xi chose 99, and the secret art master chose 98.

Poison Scorpion was stunned. She thought for a while before she reacted, muttering something in her mouth, not knowing what she was saying.

"Don't worry, you can choose any number in the first round, it's okay to choose 1," the secret art master said, seemingly comforting Poison Scorpion.

After the four people finished choosing, it was time for the gambler to announce the results of the first round.

Sure enough, the latter shook his head: "None of you have exploded, so, let's start the second round of betting."

If the probability of exploding the number in the first round was very small, then the second round was different.

If you continue to choose a large number in the second round after choosing a large number in the first round, the sum of the two numbers will inevitably exceed 180, then the probability of exploding was much higher than in the first round.

In the second round, everyone still bet 1 [Memory].

And there was no situation of grabbing the same number.

This time, it was still the woman Poison Scorpion who took the lead in choosing. She seemed to have learned her lesson, and this time she chose 60, which was quite satisfactory.

Lin Qiqi chose 1.

In this way, the sum of her two numbers was 101.

Obviously, after the probability of exploding the number in the second round increased exponentially, she chose to defend.

Luo Xi chose 2.

The secret art master chose 3.

In this way, the numbers of the three people were actually the same.

"This guy is really difficult to deal with!" Lin Qiqi transmitted a fingertip voice to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi smiled.

Indeed, the secret art master was very difficult to deal with and very smart.

The other party knew from the beginning that this number guessing game was itself a game.

The point was not to get close to the sum of the gambler's five numbers, but to be closer than the others.

So in the first few rounds, biting the sum of the numbers of Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi was the safest strategy. As for Poison Scorpion, this stupid woman was obviously a pawn to charge into the battle.

Not only did Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi think so, but the secret art master also thought so.

Assuming that this woman exploded in the second game, then the range of the gambler's numbers could be immediately determined, and then there would be a bloody storm of competition and killing.

Luo Xi glanced at the secret art master at this time, and the latter responded with a smile, very calm and elegant.

"Interesting!" Luo Xi looked at the gambler, and it depended on the results of the second round.

"No one has exploded, hehe, everyone, keep up the good work, let's start the third round of betting immediately!" the gambler shouted, his tone high-pitched.

But everyone's reaction was very ordinary, still one [Memory] per person.

However, even so, after three rounds, the accumulated [Memory] reached 12.

At this time, whoever won could get 12 [Memory], which was more profitable than challenging any level scene.

If it reached the fifth round, according to the minimum bet in each round, it would also be 20 [Memory].

Winning a game was like getting rich directly.

By the third round, Poison Scorpion was a little unable to let go. She didn't know how big a number to choose, and suddenly fell into hesitation, secretly looking at the other people.

She didn't choose a number first.

Obviously, the probability of exploding in the third round was much greater than in the second round.

Poison Scorpion didn't choose, and the secret art master didn't move either. These two people obviously didn't want to choose first. Referring to other people's choices was the safest and most reasonable.

Lin Qiqi was about to choose, but Luo Xi pulled her.

"I'll go first!"

Luo Xi directly chose a large number.

96!

Poison Scorpion's face changed, probably not understanding why it was big one moment and small the next. The secret art master was expressionless, obviously not planning to choose first.

Lin Qiqi thought for a moment and chose 95.

In this way, the largest of the three numbers was currently Luo Xi, reaching 197, and Lin Qiqi was only one number smaller than Luo Xi, 196.

The secret art master sneered and chose 94. His total was 195, just a little smaller than Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi.

Finally, there was Poison Scorpion.

She didn't know what to choose anymore.

After thinking about it, suddenly, she chose an 84.

The sum reached 194.

"Idiot!" The secret art master glanced at her and cursed inwardly.

Luo Xi smiled. Sure enough, Poison Scorpion saw the secret art master's operation and strategy and planned to imitate it, neither exceeding others nor following closely behind.

But this instead fell into the trap she designed.
