Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

"Hey! You're being too reckless. If you reject her, you'll just lose one..."

Halfway through his words, 'harmless to humans and animals' suddenly stopped. The loss of his companion's life seemed to be brought to the surface. Abandoning his companion in order to protect himself also seemed a bit dirty and disgusting.

However, seeing that Qin Shang was so careless, he agreed to the NPC's request.

The 'harmless' face still turned into alternating shades of green and red.

This guy……

[You have accepted the invitation from 'Zhang Xiaogui']

【Game: Rock, Paper, Scissors】

[Challenger: Licking the cockroach's feet]

[Rules: The game is played in a best-of-three format. During the game, the challenger needs to hold the stone to play rock-paper-scissors in two of the three rounds. Of course, these two rounds are free to choose. The challenger is not forced to hold the stone in a specific round during the game.]

[The challenged person does not need to participate in this step and can play rock-paper-scissors freely.]

[Rule: A draw means the challenger loses]

[The challenger wins in the following situations: two wins and one draw = two wins and one loss]

[The situations in which the challenger fails are: two draws and one loss, one draw and two losses, one loss, one draw and one win, two draws and one win]

【Three draws; repeat to start the second round】

It sounds a bit complicated, but Qin Shang quickly understood the rules of the game.

The corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

After hearing the rules, the 'harmless' person next to him showed a sympathetic look.

Because... this game can't be won at all!

Qin Shang must win two rounds to win.

Even if there is one draw, one win and one loss, in this situation, logically speaking, it might be considered a draw in reality.

After all, it was a best-of-three game, and we both won one and lost one, so it ended up being a draw.

But obviously, in the rules of this game, there is no concept of a draw, and a draw will also be considered a loss.

The rules are obviously extremely unfavorable to Qin Shang.

"In the best of three games, I have to hold the rock in two of the rounds. That means, in two of the rounds, I can only play scissors or rock."

"And the little girl on the opposite side just needs to keep throwing stones."

Qin Shang's expression suddenly became a little more ugly;

"When I play scissors, he plays rock, I lose."

"When I play rock, he plays rock, it's a tie, so I still lose."

"Even if it's the only round where I can play rock-paper-scissors freely, even if I win, the final result is nothing more than one win, one draw, and one loss, so I still lose!"

Various possibilities flashed through Qin Shang’s mind!

"The best case scenario is one win and two draws, I can keep throwing stones while holding the small stone, or I can keep throwing stones in all three rounds."

"But the little girl is protected by the rules. Since she knows the rules well, she just needs to keep producing stones in these three rounds."

"Even if there are three ties, according to the rules we will still move on to the next round. But if I deliberately want to keep using stones, she can even deliberately lose. If there are two ties and one loss, I lose."

She knew I had to hold the stone for two of the three rounds.

I definitely can't play the two wheels holding the stone.

If I were her, I would only need to get stones in two of the three rounds, and I could get anything I wanted in the last round.

No matter what I choose in the first two rounds, even if I win one and tie one, if I continue to choose stone in the last round, I will definitely lose...

Because if I win, it must be the only time when I don’t have to hold a pebble in my hand!

Then the last time she just needs to play a stone, whether it's a tie or I lose...

In the end, she wins.

It's one win and two draws, or one win, one loss and one draw, I will still be declared the loser.

"In this game, the challenger is at an absolute disadvantage. There is not even the slightest chance of winning."

'Harmless to humans and animals' made a judgment on the side and looked at Qin Shang with pity.

However, a hint of thought flashed across Qin Shang's dark eyes, and it seemed that he was not in despair yet.

But in the eyes of 'Human and Animal Harmless', Qin Shang did nothing but get three draws, and then continued playing the game...

I'm afraid I'll be dead when this round ends.

But it’s not easy to get a draw.

According to the rules of the game, no matter whether the opponent loses or wins a round, Qin Shang will be killed even if the other two rounds are draws.

If he wants to win, there is only one possibility.

Two wins... but that's impossible.

The next moment, a cold and emotionless electronic prompt sounded.

[Game starts; first round, countdown three seconds]

【3】

【2】

【1】

Two small stones and the icon of rock, paper, scissors suddenly appeared on the fluorescent blue screen in front of Qin Shang.

His expression stiffened.

【Please play rock-paper-scissors! 】

The next moment, Qin Shang didn't think twice.

Stone!

At this time, the first game was going so fast that Qin Shang had no time to make any arrangements.

Anything else is possible.

Only stones!

But, is it better to pinch a pebble to get a stone or not to pinch a pebble to get a stone?

Qin Shang's expression changed back and forth for a long time.

【Ding! 】

[Whether to choose to hold the stone in this round]

Qin Shang looked at the little girl not far away strangely and said in his heart.

"Pinch the stone and get the stone."

The next moment, the answer was announced.

【Challenger; Rock, Challenged; Scissors】

Win...Win! ?

Qin Shang’s eyes suddenly widened.

Logically speaking, isn't this strange and steady production of three rounds of stones the most appropriate method?

I am the challenger, the rules are not in my favor, and there will come a time when I will not choose to hold the pebble.

That is to say, there is a round where I have a chance to win or lose.

But if he keeps choosing stones, even if the game ends in a two-way tie and one-win, I'll still lose...

The worst result is that I keep throwing stones and she keeps throwing stones too...

Three draws, we advance to the next round!

Why did he choose scissors right away?

Qin Shang was stunned.

Then, he reviewed the sentence "two ties and one win" again in his mind, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

"He wanted to... deny me the chance to tie the match in three rounds and advance to the next round."

"His goal is one draw, one win and one loss, or two draws and one win!"

Gulu.

His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously and his eyes widened;

"This weird IQ is higher than I expected!"
