Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

When Li Ming only heard the previous rules, his heart almost sank to the bottom.

Because this is an unsolvable game problem, no matter which switch the other party presses, his optimal solution is to press the red light.

If the opponent chooses to press the green light and he chooses to press the red light, he will not only be able to clear the game, but also gain all 20 survival points.

On the other hand, if the opponent chooses to press the red light, he has no reason to press the green light and let the other party win.

In the same way, the other party's choice is the same. No matter which light he presses, the other party's best choice is to press the red light.

As for giving the green light to any verbal agreement, it is meaningless. Without a punishment mechanism, no one will abide by the agreement, including him.

Therefore, there is no solution to this problem at all, because the best choice for both people is to press the red light, but the result is the worst.

In other words, it's a losing game.

But the interesting part is the last rule. If you lose the game, you only need 20 survival points to buy a life, which gives you a little room for maneuver.

But we also need to see what the situation is on Yunfeng's side before we can come up with this strategy.

Li Ming's mind was spinning very fast. He filtered through all the possibilities in just ten seconds and came up with the only possible solution.

The man named Yun Feng opposite him was not slow in thinking, but after seeing through the essence of this game problem, his expression was obviously unnatural, even a little bad, even though he tried his best to hide it.

"You are very nervous." Li Ming said lightly.

Yunfeng pretended to smile relaxedly and said in a calm tone: "There is nothing to be nervous about. It's just that you have to pay 20 survival points to lose the game, which makes me feel a little sad."

"Yeah." Li Ming was noncommittal. He kept staring at this man without blinking.

Gradually, Yunfeng seemed to be unable to bear the pressure. He looked away slightly and pretended not to care and said: "Although this seems to be a losing game, those who can reach this level are smart people. , maybe we can cooperate and win-win."

"You're right, I do need your cooperation."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he reached into the box without hesitation.

Immediately, a light blue glow emitted from the box, indicating that the switch had been pressed.

"You..." Yunfeng was stunned, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"I pressed the red light, so I need your cooperation. Please press the green light." Li Ming's voice was calm, as if he was saying a matter of course.

"Are you crazy! Why should I cooperate with you? Do I look like a fool?" Yunfeng's face changed drastically when he heard this, with a hint of panic in his anger, and he could no longer remain calm.

Li Ming shook his head and said in a calm tone: "Of course I'm not crazy, and you're not stupid either. I promise that as long as you choose to press the green light, I will transfer 20 of the 10 survival points you won to you. Lets you pay the points required to fail the game.”

"Why should I believe you!" Yunfeng slammed the table. He swallowed and continued: "Since you plan to choose to share 20 survival points equally, why do you still press the red light? Why don't we press the green light together? ?”

"And your method is not fair at all. Even if you compensate me with 10 survival points, it's not enough to pay the penalty points. I have to take 10 points from myself to make up for it. It's me who takes the risk, and I'm the one who suffers the big loss."

"And not only do you not need to take any risks, you can also earn 10 survival points for free."

"You are allowed to take advantage of everything. This is too unfair. I cannot accept it!"

Yunfeng finished speaking in one breath, seeming to go crazy.

"You are right, it is indeed unfair, but the unfair part is that I can pay the 20 survival points required to fail the game, but you can't! Right?" Li Ming suddenly sat up straight, and his voice became extremely loud. .

Yunfeng was startled, and opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to refute, but Li Ming did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "You don't have to pretend, after all, in the face of an almost certain death situation, no one can regard death as death, and there is no If a person can remain calm, it would be better to say that you did not lose your composure on the spot, which is already better than most people."

"And I don't need to pretend, because my survival points are enough to buy my life!"

"As for what you said, let both of us choose to press the green light. This is absolutely impossible to happen. Even if we swear ten thousand times, it will not make any sense, because we are both smart people, and smart people will always We will only make the best choice.”

"Before the switch was pressed, you and I really had only one choice, and that was to press the red switch, but now you have two choices."

"First, you still continue to press the red switch, and then both of us lose the game. I pay 20 survival points and you pay life."

"Second, you choose to press the green light. Although you still have to lose the game, you can bet that I will abide by the agreement and transfer you 10 survival points afterwards to win the last glimmer of hope."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair again and his expression returned to calm.

In fact, when he saw that Yunfeng did not have 20 survival points, he took the absolute initiative, and the so-called unsolvable game no longer existed.

Of course, this is based on the premise that buying a life only requires 20 points. If buying a life requires all 39 survival points on his body, there is really no solution, and he can only be forced to clear his survival points.

Now it seems that the game rules setting 20 survival points to buy a life is obviously intentional. If you think about it carefully, if it is really set to be an unsolvable game, what is the point?

The entire puzzle game level seems fair, but in fact it is not that fair. The system is obviously more friendly to players who can win the game all the way, which is a typical way of supporting the strong and hoeing the weak.

Yunfeng put his arms on the table, covered his face with his hands, and remained silent.

Li Ming didn't say anything further. Yunfeng was a smart man and there was no need for him to talk.

Time passed by little by little, and the room became eerily quiet.

When there was less than 2 minutes left on the countdown on the table, Yunfeng finally raised his head. At this time, his face was extremely gray and his eyes had no luster.

"I need sixteen survival points." He said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Li Ming moved his lips, "What's the reason?"

"Because I only have 4 survival points, in the last multiplayer game, I lost the game and was forced to pay all my survival points to buy my life." Yunfeng's tone was very low, with a very depressing feeling.

"But in this case, I will lose 6 survival points for nothing." Li Ming frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy.

"I know." Yunfeng sniffed and nodded, "I owe you. If we meet again after the game is over, I will give you 6 survival points. Please trust me."

Li Ming was silent for a while, looked at the timer that was about to expire, and sighed: "Okay, I agree."
