Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Epoh, in turn, is actually "Hope".

Will this god in front of me bring hope or despair?

The bottomless azure blue lake, like the Chu River and Han Realm, isolated the great god from the place where the believers could not touch.

I don't know if there is any danger hidden in the lake, Zhou Qian did not act rashly, but just continued to listen to the believers to see if he could explore any plot.

However, apart from harvesting a bunch of swear words, he has not been able to get any more clues for the time being.

The gates of Apple Park will close at 8 o'clock.Players need to find a way to enter the paradise before this, which is their first task in this instance.

Then presumably the follow-up plot will not start until after 8 o'clock.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qian was no longer in a hurry to explore, he found a corner to stay, and then took out the treasure box from his luggage.

The luggage has the function of shrinking props, with unlimited capacity and very light to carry, similar to a virtual space.

This is automatically configured by the system for the player. As long as you log in to the game, a luggage will appear on the player.

The treasure chest that Zhou Qian took out from his bag at this moment was the one he got after killing Li Dafu and clearing the side mission.

Opening the treasure chest, he saw a small iron box inside.

[Props obtained by the player: a mysterious pharmaceutical machine with its own raw materials]

[Function: Same as prop name]

[Grade: F-Class]

Zhou Qian: "..."

Why is it a mere F-level reward?

What about the saying "the greater the disparity in strength, the better the reward"?

etc.Maybe it's not that simple.

F grade plus F grade, what will become?

After a few seconds, Zhou Qian thought of the key point.

He quickly took out the [Grass] obtained earlier, and put it into the newly obtained iron box.

First of all, there is a question mark in the function column of [Grass], which means that its function needs to be explored, and other props may be used.

Secondly, the branch line of killing Li Dafu is related to the story of the teaching level, so the rewards corresponding to these two tasks may also be related to each other.

Finally, something like grass itself can be used as a raw material.

These three reasons made Zhou Qian almost certain that these two props could work together.

Zhou Qian was right.

After the grass was put into the iron box, there was a "chi-gu-ji-gu" sound inside.

After a while, all the sounds stopped. Zhou Qian opened the iron box and found that the grass was gone, replaced by three black pills the size of little fingers.

[The player got the item: Dalang, it's time to take medicine]

[Effect: Aim at the target and shout "Da Lang, it's time to take the medicine", the other party will definitely step forward to take the pill and take it, and then be frozen in place for 3 minutes. 】

[Grade: Grade C]

[Note: It is effective for both NPCs and players; after using the pill three times on the same target, A-level NPC Wu Song will be summoned, and Wu Song will treat the user as Pan Jinlian and launch an attack, so players are advised to use the pill carefully and do not target the same target Use repeatedly. 】

Zhou Qian: "..."

Ignoring the name of the item and the designer behind the game, Zhou Qian's concentration was interrupted by another matter.

He heard Dong Xiang's voice.

—— "Zhou Qian! I won't let you go!"

It seems that he still found a way to sneak in.

Zhou Qian turned his head and saw Dong Xiang.

With all the camouflage removed, Dong Xiang's expression became dark and ruthless.

He was brought in by someone.

It seems that he has a good relationship with that person. With his support, Dong Xiang looks very confident.

It was a very young man, 18 at most.

He is quite tall, about 185, but at the same time he is very thin, standing upright like a sword standing beside Dong Xiang.

He looked at Zhou Qian expressionlessly, he didn't say much, he just looked around.

When he saw the Great God Yibo, he frowned, as if he was also curious about his origin.

Raising his watch to point at the young man, Zhou Qian read his message.

[Player Name: Qi Liuxing]

[Player level: D level]

[Good at: swordsmanship, melee output, high attack power]

[Gambler System Evaluation: Sword God, kills one person in ten steps, never stays behind for thousands of miles]

What the gambler system is, Zhou Qian doesn't know yet.

But he can clearly realize that the situation seems to be very bad for him.

——Qi Liuxing of D rank, among other things, his HP alone is almost seven times that of his own.But he seems to have a good relationship with Dong Xiang?Have they cooperated in other dungeons?

Many thoughts crossed his mind, but Zhou Qian didn't show any expression on his face.

He calmly looked away, and looked again at the Great God Yibo on the other side of the lake.

Zhou Qian was very calm.

In front of the screen, both Yu Xian and Zhu Qiang broke out in a cold sweat.

"In my opinion, Zhou Qian should have killed Dong Xiang just now. Now he has rescuers! This Qi Liuxing is the sword god! It sounds very powerful!"

"You can't say that. Li Dafu is an NPC in the game. Killing him is equivalent to killing monsters. But Dong Xiang is a player. If Zhou Qian did something to him, he would really be a murderer."

"Ham, the reason is this, am I not worried?"

"Hey, look, there are two more players! There are five players! The players are all here!"

The two new arrivals are arm in arm, both appearing to be around 20 years old.

They are very seductive, like a couple of young couples who are talented and beautiful.

[Player Name: Gao Shan]

[Player Level: E Level]

[Good at: tank skills, high life value, strong defense]

[Player Name: Yun Xiangrong]

[Player Level: E Level]

[Good at: Healing spells, helping teammates recover health]

"The name Gao Shan sounds ordinary, but a girl's name is nice! Yun Xiangrong? Yun Xiangrong's clothes are beautiful!"

"Your focus is wrong. Their skills are interesting. A tank and a healer! These two are too important in the team!"

"Yes, this young couple is quite powerful."

"No, this is the problem instead! If they want to form a team, they need to find another one with output capability, such as Qi Liuxing. But this sword god is obviously with Dong Xiang!"

"Ah...then our brother Qian is useless? He doesn't have any skills yet, and he doesn't benefit the team battle! He, he still has a grudge against Dong Xiang!"

"Dangerous! Brother Qian is really dangerous! I'm afraid that the other four will get together and he will be isolated!"

·

8pm exactly.

With a bang, the gate of the palace closed.

Immediately, two graceful girls in white gauze walked over.

According to the system prompt, these two goddess-like girls are as high as B level, with 8000 health points, and extremely high attack power. They are not in the same order as the players here, and they can be easily crushed like ants.

There is basically no possibility for players to confront them head-on.

What they say, the players can only do as they say.

The two goddesses have their own division of labor. One raises his hand and counts like a general, while the other walks slowly past each believer, stroking their palms one by one.

The counting goddess spoke first: "24 invitations were sent out, and 25 people came!"

Another goddess said: "There are 5 people here, I can't read their thoughts, and I can't see that they are connected with the Great God Yibo."

The five people mentioned by the goddess obviously refer to the five players who came in instead of believers.

Zhou Qian listened to it without showing any signs of expression.

"Why are there as many as five people with problems?"

"How do I know? The grand ceremony is about to start, we can't delay the big event, we have to get someone out as soon as possible! I'll prepare for the ceremony, and I'll leave it to you here!"

After the two goddesses discussed a few words, one left first, and the other looked at the five players.

"Among you, only four people can participate in the grand ceremony! Who is pretending to be a believer? Discuss with yourselves and find him!"

The nanny named Yun Xiangrong boldly asked the first question: "What will happen to the false believers who have been chosen?"

The goddess replied: "No one can deceive the gods. Of course the counterfeiter will be executed. You discuss and find him quickly. I will help my sister and come later."

After the goddess said this, she turned around and was about to leave. Dong Xiang glared at Zhou Qian viciously, and quickly said, "Goddess! I'm here to report, that person is not Li Da——"

"To shut up!"

Zhou Qian's voice suddenly became terribly deep, and he looked at Dong Xiang with extremely cold eyes.

Dong Xiang felt that he was vicious enough, but when Zhou Qian stared at him, he froze in place and shivered.

——Who is this person?

Damn he doesn't look very old, why do he have such scary eyes?

The goddess who was planning to leave stamped her feet and looked at Dong Xiang curiously: "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Qian took a step forward and looked at the goddess, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a spring-like smile. "It's okay, sister Goddess, let's go first. We are discussing."

The appearance is worthy of being a powerful weapon.

Under Zhou Qian's smiling gaze, the goddess smiled shyly and walked away holding her skirt.

As soon as the goddess left, Zhou Qian's eyes immediately turned cold.

Facing everyone, he said: "24 invitations were sent out, and 25 people came. Some of us have props or skills that copy invitations? In any case, the five of us are all false believers.

"You heard what the two goddesses said just now. They actually knew that we all had problems, but a certain ceremony was about to begin, and 24 believers were required to participate. In order to avoid delaying the event, they turned a blind eye. Will acquiesce to 4 of us participating.

"Think about it, what will happen if we report each other as false believers and make this matter public?"

Yun Xiangrong was the first to answer, and she replied with a pale face: "Actually, they are dereliction of duty. If we make a big deal out of it, they won't be able to end it, and then they will have to punish us—we have lied to God." , all must die."

"Yes. So—" Looking at Dong Xiang coldly, Zhou Qian said, "Don't be smart enough to report me. Unless you want to die with me."

"You fucking..." Dong Xiang opened his mouth to curse, but seemed afraid of attracting the attention of the goddess, so he had to shut his mouth again.

Yun Xiangrong couldn't help asking: "Then how should we choose?"

Zhou Qian said: "Don't choose for now. Leave this problem to the two goddesses. It is their task to ensure that 24 believers will participate in the ceremony, and they will find a way."

After a while, the two goddesses came back.

"Have you found the impostor?" one of them asked.

It was Zhou Qian who stood up to answer.

He still smiled like a spring breeze. "No, I can't find it. You are goddesses, and you can't find it. What can we do?"

Zhou Qian's words were pleasing.

The two goddesses looked at each other and smiled shyly.

After a while, the two spoke one after another in tacit cooperation.

"You can't get together to discuss the results. Are you afraid of offending people? Then let's make a choice in another way."

"Come on! Please come with us first!"

The goddess led the players along the side path into the depths of the woods.

The further we went in, the denser the woods became, and the road was once covered by the sky and the sun, and there was no light at all.

It wasn't until about several hundred meters away that the player came to a rather open place.

Looking up, Zhou Qian saw many tree houses.

The tree house is not high, and the heights are staggered on the thick and strong tree trunks, which can be reached by hanging rope ladders.

Zhou Qian counted, and there were exactly five tree houses.

Five tree houses correspond to five players.

It is estimated that the goddess will ask the players to walk into different tree houses individually and ask them to do something.

—Is it the Prisoner's Dilemma?

Zhou Qian was thinking so when he heard the goddesses speak one after another.

"Let's come up with some test questions."

"Players can listen to the questions together, but they need to come to our ears one by one and whisper the answers to us."

"Whispering is not allowed! Those who violate the rules will be directly regarded as [false believers] and eliminated!"

"Whoever is the winner has the greatest decision-making power!"

These questions... I'm afraid it will be difficult, right?

This is the common thought in the hearts of several players present.

They either used props to copy the invitation letters of believers they met outside the door, or used props to steal and snatch the invitation letters... In short, they are all false believers.

So, if they were asked about beliefs and Yibo, how would they know the answer?

Soon, the two goddesses asked questions.

"Please listen to the question below."

"1. What is the name of this palace?"

"2. What is the name of the owner of the palace?"

"3. In what capacity did you come in?"

"4. What did you come here for?"

When hearing this, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

These questions are really not too simple, everyone knows the answer——

[Apple Paradise], [Yibo], [identity is a believer], [received an invitation letter].

But the next question is not so easy to answer.

The goddess said again: "5. What has the master of the palace done for you?"

"6. Why do you have resentment towards the master of the palace?"

The corners of Zhou Qian's mouth curled up - of course he knew the answers to these two questions, because he triggered a side plot in the teaching level, and after getting the invitation letter, he specifically asked the little boy what happened to all of this thing.

But presumably the other four people besides him at this moment don't know the answer.

Zhou Qian just doesn't know what the "decision-making power" will be for players who know all the answers.

After asking these questions, the goddess smiled and opened her mouth to the player.

"Tell the rules, in order. You come over to answer the questions one by one. After answering one question, start the next one. This way there will be no chaos!"

"Yes, yes, we are most afraid of chaos!"

In this way, the five players walked to the goddess one by one and answered the corresponding questions.

After the first four questions have been completed, it is the turn of the fifth.

At this moment, Zhou Qian glanced at the other players, and found that the two of them looked at each other, shook their heads, and immediately froze.

It seems they really don't know the answer.

In the end, only Zhou Qian walked towards the goddess.

Before answering the goddess' question, Zhou Qian glanced at Dong Xiang intentionally or unintentionally, and met his gaze.

Dong Xiang's eyes looked extremely sinister, as if he was brewing some extremely sinister idea.

Zhou Qian pretended he didn't see it, and answered the last two questions of Goddess slowly.

"I'm Li Dafu. God Yibo gave me money and a boy."

"The boy died, and I made a wish to the Great God to bring him back to life, but the Great God couldn't do it, so I have a grudge against the Great God."

So far, all the players have finished answering the questions, and the goddess announced the result.

Sure enough, Yun Xiangrong, Gao Shan, Qi Liuxing, and Dong Xiang all answered only four questions.

Only Zhou Qian answered six questions.

The two goddesses looked at Zhou Qian with a smile, and spoke one by one.

"Your name is Li Dafu, right? Congratulations, you are the winner of the questioning game. We think you are most likely to be a true believer, and we will give you the decision-making power!"

"Among other believers, who is true and who is false is up to you!"

"Now we will give you 100 points. Please use these 100 points to rate five people including yourself. Whoever has the lowest score will be eliminated as a false believer!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Xian in front of the mobile phone screen couldn't help sighing: "Fuck, awesome. Then Brother Qian is sure to win!"

Zhu Qiang said: "It seems to be true. Not only can he win... In fact, this is the same as our exam. The other four are students for the exam, and Brother Qian is the examiner who grades them! And students can bribe the examiner!"

Yu Xian: "That's right, isn't Brother Qian just short of everything? An F-level player, he has no props and few gold coins! He can take this opportunity to blackmail! Whoever gives him the most gold coins and props, he will give him the highest score! This It’s a classic cool text mode! It’s so cool!”

Yu and Zhu never imagined that the moment they thought this was the Shuangwen mode, a magical turning point came——

The goddess further announced the rules.

"However... We just passed a small test and temporarily selected the true believer with the highest probability. But he may not be true, nor may he be convinced by everyone!"

"So, when Li Dafu scored everyone, the other four people could vote on his scoring results.

"If more than half of the people are not satisfied with his scoring results, then Li Dafu's scoring will be invalid.

"Li Dafu, it seems that you have not been convinced by other believers. Then in this case, you will be regarded as a false believer and eliminated!"

After hearing the rules here, the two of Yu Zhu shouted out at the same time: "Damn!!!"

The goddess continued: "Well, in addition, if four people vote, of course there will be a tie. What about the tie? Sister, what do you think?"

Another person said: "A tie is a waste of our time. After a tie, Li Dafu's scoring this time will be invalidated. He needs to score again, and then let the other four vote again.

"But if the tie happens three times. I'm sorry, it seems that Li Dafu is still a false believer. Then you are out of the game."

The two goddesses remained silent for a while, as if they were waiting for the players to digest the rules.

At this time, Dong Xiang's sinister voice came from among the players.

I saw him looking at Zhou Qian with a ferocious face, and said viciously: "Zhou Qian, no matter how you score, Qi Liuxing and I will definitely not agree. Among the four people, we voted two no Then, no matter whether Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong agree with your scoring method or not, you are dead!

"Because! Even if the young lovers agree with you, Qi Liuxing and I will definitely deny it! Then there will be a tie!

"Then after three rounds of draws, your score will be invalidated, and you will definitely be out!"

"You're dead, Zhou Qian. There's no way this will turn you around!

"I will fulfill you and send you to be the first blood of this dungeon!"

The author has something to say:

1. Regarding the warm-up game of finding false believers, the first published version has many problems and has been revised. If you find that it does not match the analysis in the comment area, please don't be surprised.

2. The designed game is derived from the classic economics game theory model in textbooks, which will be revealed in Chapter 6.
