Deceitful Game

Chapter 131 Surrender and Lose Half

The card in front of Mingpo turned white, which meant... Gao Fan guessed correctly.

In other words, the words Mingper chose were related to deception games!

Gao Song hadn't caused them any harm, but it was Gao Fan, their teammate, who broke through Ming Po's defenses!

"I'm so sorry!"

Gao Fan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he immediately apologized to Ming Po.

He was clearly aware of what he had done.

"fine·……"

Mingpo shook his head, his expression turning serious: "This isn't your fault... The rules of this game are designed to make us attack and doubt each other."

He has fully understood.

The core challenge of this game lies in the "information barrier"!

Because Mingpo's familiarity with Gao Fan was actually far less than that between Mingpo and Ai Shiping.

And the fact that they don't know each other that well... means they are not familiar with what words the other might have chosen.

If you accidentally reveal your teammate's information when asking a question, it's equivalent to giving Gao Song help outside of his turn!

This means that these "challengers" actually need to guess plural nouns simultaneously.

On the one hand, they need to guess the words Gao Song has chosen, and on the other hand, they need to avoid the various misleading traps that Gao Song may have set up.

On the other hand, they also need to guess the words their teammates choose, and find a way to narrow down Gao Song's hiding place while avoiding the possible range of their teammates when asking questions...

The amount of thinking required has increased many times over!

Moreover, their choice of words was based on the understanding that "someone" in the opposing camp might know, but their own teammates might not. If the word was directly in their blind spot—for example, Gao Fan didn't even know about the existence of the Dionysian Shrine—he wouldn't know how to avoid the word Mingpo had chosen when asking the question.

But Gao Song had no scruples whatsoever.

Because he had no teammates.

It is precisely because he has no teammates that he possesses the highest level of freedom of action.

But in the first few rounds, Mingpo didn't have much time to think.

Gao Song's lyrics have not yet been locked, so Ming Po can only offer a relatively broad question.

What is currently confirmed is that it is not a living thing, not a building or a natural landscape, and it is not fictional.

"Is it man-made?"

Mingpo asked slowly.

The next moment, the black cards in front of Gao Fan and Gao Song clearly turned white, and then changed back after a few seconds.

The answer is yes.

Moreover, both Gao Song and Gao Fan's lyrics refer to "man-made objects".

It's not a man-made structure or a fictional object... In an instant, the question narrowed down to a very narrow scope!

Mingpo clearly heard Gao Fan breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Gao Fan's own words were also brought up by Ming Po's question, he did not blame Ming Po.

On the contrary, Gao Song was greatly encouraged by the fact that Ming Po had successfully targeted him.

Mingpo also noticed that Gao Fan seemed somewhat afraid of Gao Song.

He regarded his elder as a mountain that was difficult to overcome by human effort.

Now that Mingpo has injured him, Gao Fan should celebrate—even if the price is that he himself will get injured.

Or rather, in Gao Fan's mind, if he only had to pay a "small price" to hurt Gao Song, that would already be a win. Now it seems...

Gao Fan is clearly a genuine second-generation rich kid, but his personality is so humble and gentle. There is probably an important reason for this... that he was always in a state of denial and oppression at home since he was a child.

After giving his answer, Mingpo continued:

"...There's a design there, Mr. Gao Song."

Mingpo looked at Gao Song, and her calm tone soothed the anxious Gao Fan, encouraging him: "Since only one side can survive this game, the details of the game cannot be leaked."

It is precisely because they did not know the rules of this game before that they are now trapped by it.

Otherwise, they could simply agree on a set of code words beforehand and communicate in secret to determine the words they would choose.

In other words, this is a game that can only be played once... Only the first kill is truly meaningful.

"What? Are you going to admit defeat?"

Gao Song, who had been targeted by Ming Po, remained calm and smiled at her, saying, "If you surrender, you'll lose half." "How so?"

Mingpo said with interest, "They can still surrender?"

"certainly."

Gao Song smiled slightly and kindly pointed out, "Although you can't look at or peek at other people's cards, and you can't let other people see your own cards... the rules don't say, 'You can't let other people see your teammates' cards.'"

"If you want to admit defeat, then show me Xiao Fan's card. That way, I'll be punished for fouling. Although I'm innocent, so my punishment will be reduced accordingly, and I won't be directly declared the loser... But if you're the last one left, you can still be considered the winner. The winner gets a Zhou Zhiqing Lead, don't you want to consider it?"

"And what about him?"

Mingpo countered, "Where's Xiaofan?"

"Of course... he'll be disqualified for violating Rule 2."

Gao Song said leisurely, his voice as gentle as a teacher having a heart-to-heart talk with a student.

A loss means certain death.

"This is a victory condition I deliberately left out. If you don't believe me, you can ask Twenty Faces... I did let others go this way; they left with the chips."

His words were very certain: "And a lot, a great deal. From that perspective, it's more like I'm doing charity."

Mingpo didn't even need to confirm to know that Gao Song was not lying.

This is the truth.

In other words... there is indeed another way to end this game.

If they really can't withstand Gao Song's pressure, they can betray their teammates in exchange for safety and benefits.

Sacrificing all his teammates in exchange for a single Zhou Zhiqing lead token... this might not be a bad deal. Because the charlatan who breaks into this place might not have the same level of authority as Zhou Zhiqing lead.

For example, Ai Shiping, who is still at the "Red Copper of Time" level, couldn't even scrape together a single piece of Zhouzhiqing Lead even if he emptied all his savings. This means that Gao Song's game is very likely to result in a loss.

He remained at the level of Zhou Zhiqing Lead and did not advance further... Part of the reason may be that he had consumed a lot of chips in this game.

Then why would he do such a losing business?

The answer speaks for itself.

His treacherous intentions are obvious.

He enjoys the pleasure of destroying other people's friendships!

What he admires and seeks is this distorted scene of friendship falling apart and friends betraying each other!
