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

You have to hold the pebbles...

No, you played scissors in the second round. Didn’t you really have a pebble in your hand?

No, that's impossible, he must have pinched it.

The girl stood there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

When Qin Shang saw Guiyi's silent reaction at this moment, he had already made up his mind.

In fact, I have already won this game...

Doubt is like a seed. To deal with this weirdness, you just need to keep telling the truth.

Seeds will sprout, and so will doubts.

There is an old Chinese saying, and the elderly often say that people cannot fall into the same pit twice.

But in reality, the reality is that people repeat the same mistakes and there are many cases of people going back to their old ways.

Many girls, when they meet a scumbag, cry their hearts out and swear never to get close to this man again.

As a result, not long after, when the man came to her house, she happily chose to get back together with him after a few sweet words.

The scar healed and the pain was forgotten, and the final outcome was nothing more than being dumped again not long after.

In psychology, this is called "compulsive repetition."

It refers to a person's unconscious tendency to repeat traumatic events or environments. People are preconceived animals. If you don't trust me at the beginning, it will be difficult for you to trust me later.

When you open your heart to me at the beginning, no matter what I do to hurt you afterwards, as long as I explain it away in a light-hearted way and erase the responsibility, I will most likely regain your trust.

This is also a kind of compulsive repetition. People who fall in the same place twice are not necessarily stupid.

It's just human nature...

[Qin Shang, you are a liar. You said that you didn't choose to play rock-paper-scissors with the stone just now. Then you lied to me. How can I believe that you would play rock-paper-scissors with the stone in this round?]

Guiyi was obviously trapped in the trap of suspicion, staring at Qin Shang with his transparent pupils.

Hearing this, the young man shrugged slightly;

"It doesn't matter. You only need to play the stone to win this round."

!! ?

Repeated again.

Weirdly widened his eyes.

The guy repeated it again and suggested that I use the stone.

He lied to me. He didn't put the free rock-paper-scissors opportunity in the second round like a normal player would, but left it for the third round.

He advised me to play with stone for safety, but actually he wanted to play with cloth.

Then I'll take out the scissors...

wrong!

When I thought of this, I suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

Thinking back to Qin Shang's performance in the second round, in the second round, Qin Shang said that you only need to play the stone to win...

I was clearly standing in the atmosphere at that time, but it still ended in a draw...

But if I had played the stone at that time, wouldn’t Qin Shang have lost?

Could it be that he was really planning to use the scissors at that time?

Weirdly startled.

"Qin Shang knows. I guessed that he would make a move."

So he knew I would use Scissors, so he chose Scissors?

No, his purpose of using the scissors was to win. He couldn't have known in advance that we would end up in a draw!

He initially thought I would play Paper, so he played Scissors.

In other words, Qin Shang's logic actually remains at the first level!

At that time, he thought I would play it safe and put up the stone, but then he changed his mind and thought that maybe I saw through his plan.

It is likely that cloth will be chosen.

Hence the scissors!

Qin Shang has always been on the second level!

Thinking of this, Guiyi suddenly thought he understood Qin Shang's logical chain.

So what about the final round! ?

If we look at it from Qin Shang's perspective, he wanted to win me, so his words just now to interfere with me and try to make me play the stone were also for the sake of safety. His purpose was to use the cloth to deceive others.

But considering that the same plan was seen through by me once before and I played scissors, he probably understood that I could see through his scheme, and he would definitely use rock to counter my scissors.

Then I should actually play cloth, playing cloth is a sure win...

When thinking of this, Guiyi suddenly thought of a key point.

That's not right. I can win this round as long as it's a tie.

Then I just need to play the stone, why should I bet with him?

What if he uses scissors?

No matter whether Qin Shang plays scissors or rock, I will definitely win as long as I play paper, right?

and many more!

How come after thinking for a while, I came back to this?

If I produce a stone, wouldn't that fulfill his wish?

He repeatedly hinted that I should give up the stone. Could it be that Qin Shang had thought of this?

So his real purpose this round is actually to release the cloth! ?

So that's why he keeps hinting at me?

This logic chain is a bit difficult to understand, but it is actually not complicated...

When Guiyi thought of this, he immediately felt that he had seen through Qin Shang's conspiracy.

I didn't expect that after all this trouble, I was still deceived by you!

I almost thought I was going to win. You just wanted to take advantage of the fact that I knew I could win against your scissors and rock by just playing rock, and planned to use the free-play phase to play paper.

If I play paper, the game might be a draw, but if I play scissors, the situation is the safest!

If you use scissors, I will win no matter whether you use paper or scissors, Qin Shang!

【Cunning man! 】

【let's start! 】

Hearing this, Qin Shang nodded.

"start!"

The 'harmless' guy next to him couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat for him when he saw his nonchalant look.

Is this guy really not afraid of death?

This kind of game with almost no chance of winning according to the rules not only allows for the weirdness within the copy.

Even in the final round when he was on the verge of death, he always faced it with a smile.

In this regard, to be honest, 'Harmless to Humans and Animals' doesn't have the confidence to compare, let alone someone like Qin Shang who looks so confident.

The higher the level of "Godly Road" players reach, the more they actually value their lives.

After all, the strength has improved and the points have increased.

With the terrifying exchange rate for points to RMB, as a high-level "God Road" player in reality, can't you get whatever you want?

So it was hard for her to understand why Qin Shang would gamble his life for a so-called clue in the copy.

The key is, this copy doesn't necessarily require this clue...

After all, this is a dungeon with no time limit. Even if the NPC has some clues, the player may not be able to find other clues in the subsequent self-search phase...

Ding!

The cold electronic prompt tone has been heard.

[Game starts; countdown, three seconds]

【3】

【2】

【1】

【Please play rock-paper-scissors】

Qin Shang narrowed his eyes, selected the stone on the fluorescent blue panel, and pinched the small stone.

So far, there has really not been a single cloth produced in these three rounds.

The next moment, the results were announced.

【Challenger; Rock, Challenged; Scissors】

【Congratulations, you won the game】

[Ding! Obtained a clue——Administrator identity]

[Ding! Obtained the item 'Qiqi's Future Recorder']

[Unlock the hidden mission of the fraudster; investigate the reasons for the recent strange things happening in the community]

Wow!

The final result was announced, Qin Shang won two out of three games.

boom--

This scene not only made the opponent who was playing the game with Qin Shang feel like he was struck by lightning, but also made him stand there in a daze.

Even the 'harmless' person next to him opened his eyes wide, with a look of astonishment and confusion on his face.

How...how is this possible!?

Won! ?

This lawful bad guy won?

Did he really win so easily?

The key point is that until this moment, 'Harmless to Humans and Animals' actually didn't even think about figuring out the rules. He just kept thinking in his mind that best-of-three games was unrealistic. In his opinion, the two games in which the young man held the stone were almost certain to be lost!

Then, in the blink of an eye, three rounds passed, and the young man won the game with ease...

No, how did he win?

Why didn’t I figure it out?

Why didn't he seem to have used that one chance to play rock-paper-scissors?

This... can still win?

The NPC let him go?

"So, the trick to this game is that you can win by playing a rock? If you play a rock in the second round, you can also win!"

"Your first and third rounds were also all rocks... so as long as you play a rock, you win, right?"

After hearing 'harmless to humans and animals' and thinking for a long time, an excited voice came from someone who thought he had seen through the essence of the game.

Qin Shang glanced at her and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

Martial arts masters are good, martial arts masters have no worries...

You didn't understand the inner battle between me and the little girl at all...

The next moment, Qin Shang ignored 'harmless' and looked at the little girl and said;

"Little sister, let me tell you a truth..."

"What is the highest level of deception?"

"I didn't lie to myself, and I told a lie that I believed. I didn't lie, but you kept making it up and making it up in your imagination."

"This is the highest level of deception. I didn't lie, I didn't deceive you, but you relied on your imagination and your constant speculation to add new information, which made you distrust me. This is the essence of fraud."

"The most high-end scammers, even if they are caught by the police, are often released without charge because there is no evidence at all."

"Because it's hard to tell whether you were deceived by me or by yourself."

This is the origin of the "parrot killing" in reality!

They will never try to take advantage of a client. Even when you begin to trust them and want to make additional investments, they may still be indifferent, allowing you to completely discard your doubts.

Conversely, if you want to make someone doubt himself, all you have to do is keep doing inexplicable things that only make things more obvious.

For example, suddenly adding drama...

Once "doubt" is born, the crime is established.

In the eyes of this NPC, I am not trustworthy, so I just need to tell the truth.

Qin Shang’s thinking logic is not that complicated at all.

He never tried to guess what the NPC would do, he just needed to tell him that he would win by what I told him to do.

The NPC will obediently choose a path that goes against the trend.

I said that I gave up the chance of free rock-paper-scissors in the second round and got a scissors. This is true.

But you still don’t believe it…

"Balance! The game "God's Path" always implements a mechanism, that is, the balance mechanism."

"This rule may seem disadvantageous to players, but in fact, it is because many players lose their composure as soon as they see the rules and become immersed in them."

"In fact, in the three rounds, because two rounds require players to hold small stones to play rock-paper-scissors, the player can only play rock-paper-scissors freely in one round. But from the perspective of the NPC, he also needs to guess which round the player will play rock-paper-scissors freely and which two rounds the player will hold small stones."

"And this information gap is the winning edge..."

After the first round, Qin Shang saw the NPC's reaction and realized that she was actually playing the game by guessing and controlling the players' psychology.

She didn't know which round I would play the game with the stone in my hand, except for the first round and the other two rounds.

Even after the game was over, she still didn't know.

"Shenlu" asked me whether I played rock-paper-scissors with small stones. This part was only known to me.

The result of "Shenlu" only reports the content of the rock-paper-scissors game and the winner and loser of both parties, and is limited to these contents.

In other words, it is not easy for the NPC to determine in which round I hold the small stone.

As long as this matter is vague, the NPCs will be thrown into disarray.

This is considered to be disintegrating the opponent from within the rules.

Going against common sense and her perception will lead to a reversal...

In reality, people often face situations that seem to be unfavorable to them.

But it is not right to always maintain the same problem-solving thinking as a science student.

Often we should pay more attention to things outside the rules, such as...

The rules that are unfavorable to me may not be 100% favorable to others?

You should not only see the points that are disadvantageous to yourself and favorable to others.

Sometimes we should learn to see the vitality in the loopholes...

There are no logical loopholes when the rules are against me.

The only loophole is human nature!
