Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 2053 Rule Changes? The Second Half Begins!

Even if the teams ahead of them are just giving up, at least they'll put on a show.

But this pair is good; from the very beginning, they didn't even bother to pretend, just emphasizing authenticity.

The problem is, you can't do anything about them.

The viewers in the live stream could all see the strength of Fang Yun's team.

And it wasn't just them.

Anyone still in the arena at this moment knows that a group of outsiders has arrived.

Faced with Fang Yun and his team's almost unsolvable fast-push tactics.

Even the most normal teams would try to spar with them.

However, there are some exceptions.

That's right, those players who stayed online the entire time!
These players are definitely hanging in the live stream hoping to win a phone.

But the problem is.

Compared to the vague chance of winning the lottery, they couldn't stand being targeted by Fang Yun and then getting a good beating.

It's not that they're psychologically weak, but rather that they have a purely rebellious mentality.

Don't you like to dominate newbies?

Then I'll just lie flat and let you beat me, so you'll feel no sense of accomplishment!

The team that was taken down by Fang Yun and his group in four rounds likely had this mindset.

It just goes to show that there are all sorts of birds in a big forest. Some people are so eager to hack into the backend of NetEase to forcibly control the speed at which Fang Yun and his team finish the game, in order to increase the number of times he can send out his phone.

Some people, however, choose to do the opposite, not caring whether there are enough rounds, and just start playing.

Because the abandonment was too thorough.

The battle ended after only four rounds.

The expressions on the faces of the viewers in the live stream were all incredibly unpleasant!
They thought they had grasped the secret to wealth, but two consecutive losses brought them back to reality.

This voting campaign was completely different from what they had imagined.

Fang Yun's team seemed to be incredibly strong, but their opponents were different.

The speed at which they finished the game also varied.

The key point is that even now, no one has been able to figure out the real pattern.

They originally thought that betting 4-6 in the early stages and 9 or more in the later stages would be the safest bet.

But now it seems the situation is far more complicated than that.

Random investment is unreliable, and forming alliances is still unreliable.

At this point, the viewers in the live stream were completely confused, and many of them were still in a daze until the next match started.

However, the probability of correctly predicting the number of rounds in this event is too random.

The 30-second voting window ended.

Surprisingly, the first choice was actually one of the previously less popular options, 7-9.

The reason why option 7-9 is unpopular is mainly because Fang Yun and his team's blitzkrieg tactics in the early stages were too fierce and scared everyone.

Later, the match was dragged out to 12 rounds by a team before it ended.

People also believe that the pace of the game may slow down in the later stages.

所以4-6跟9以上选项人气一直都是最高的，7-9其次，1-3最低。

Amidst the current chaos, the second-to-last rankings of 7-9 have inexplicably been pushed to the top spot.

The moment I saw this result.

Many viewers in the live stream sighed in disappointment, preparing for a third round of disappointment.

As the saying goes, "A chance encounter can lead to unexpected success, while a deliberate attempt to plant flowers may fail to yield results."

Previously, everyone had been scheming against Fang Yun, summarizing patterns and forming groups to vote.

But the result was far from satisfactory.

Instead, this time, after a series of defeats, everyone chose to fight their own battles.

After eight rounds, Fang Yun and his team quickly and successfully wiped out their opponents!
"Huh? This...!"

"No way...we went on a crazy eight-shot spree, and they actually made them?!"

"Even though I made the shot, why can't I smile?"

"Because this result proves one thing: all our previous analyses were a complete joke. All the discussions turned out to be no better than a bunch of random votes!"

"Alright, alright, is that how you play it? Then I'll have to unleash the long-lost coin-flipping technique!"

"Coin toss +1! Since there's no pattern, I'll just trust fate and start tossing!..."

They watched helplessly as Fang Yun and his team of five took down all five opponents in eight rounds, eliminating them from the competition.

Until all 5 fruits in this round at the top of the screen started the lottery.

Many viewers in the live stream were still a little dazed.

If you can win by randomly throwing a shot, then what about all the scheming and plotting I did before?
If Fang Yun saw the comments on the screen right now, he probably wouldn't be able to resist saying something like—

You guys must be full of water in your brains!
In martial arts competitions, while strength and command are paramount, they are also the factors most likely to influence the outcome.

But beyond that.

Luck is also an indispensable part.

Fang Yun's team is strong, and their win rate has remained at 100% throughout the entire tournament.

But this doesn't mean they can control the pace of every game within a certain range.

In other words.

Even for them, there's no guarantee when each battle will end.

Even the five parties involved, including Fang Yun, couldn't guarantee when each match would end.

How could viewers in a live stream possibly identify the real patterns?
So it's perfectly normal for them to go from one missed bet to another, then win, and then go back to going missing again.

If someone actually believes those charlatans and thinks that everything follows a certain pattern...

Fang Yun could only say that you guys were thinking too slowly and suggested that you increase your efforts and squeeze the water out of your brains as soon as possible!

"I think I've figured it out! There's absolutely no pattern to Cheng Ge's matches, anyone who believes that's a fool!"

"I understand now. This thing is purely random. The reason why Brother Cheng gave so many options is because the randomness of each game is too strong, so he had no choice but to design it this way."

"In short, from now on, everyone can do whatever they want; whether you hit or not depends entirely on luck!"

"That's the only way. Anyone who dares to suggest we stick together is a traitor and must be found and executed!"

"Holy crap, the wind's shifted so drastically! Are you all chameleons?..."

Fang Yun's team entered the battle once again.

While viewers in the live stream were busy drawing 5 fruits in a round on the public screen, they were also exchanging ideas in the chat.

Having learned their lesson the hard way, they've finally realized their mistake.

To put it bluntly, this voting activity is purely a game of luck.

Their various summaries and attempts to find patterns actually led them astray from the very beginning.

Of the five options Fang Yun gave, only 1-3 and losing the game are absolutely low-probability events.

The probability of winning the other three options is completely random.

and so.

After realizing this principle.

Although the viewers in the live stream felt like they had been tricked, they quickly rallied and decided to play a pure gamble with Fang Yun today!

And it turns out.

When you roll up your sleeves and focus solely on stealing.

They are more likely to reap unexpected rewards.

From this round onwards, no one in the live stream was clamoring to form groups anymore.

Once voting begins, everyone acts independently, casting their votes for the option they believe has the best chance of success.

And then they threw it in a completely indiscriminate manner.

In the following games, they actually made two more shots, successfully causing Fang Yun to bleed money again, and he released 10 top-tier fruits in one go!
"It's great! It's so great!"

"Although the odds of hitting or not hitting have remained almost 50/50, it feels so good! I can just click randomly without thinking, it's so damn convenient!"

"It's a pity that the first half is about to end. The full-strength teams of the White Tiger Group on the other side are almost traumatized by Cheng Ge and his team. They will definitely advance to the second half without any pain."

"Has anyone counted how many 'fruits' Brother Cheng gave out in the first half of today's game?"

"10 + 5 + 10... that should be 25!"

"Holy crap! 25 movies? That's at least 170,000 or 180,000 copies, right?"

"Outrageous! Without anyone noticing, Brother Cheng has already released an extra 25 top-tier fruits?"

"No...is this what you mean by a low winning rate?"

"The odds of hitting the target are certainly not low, but for each individual, the odds are negligible."

"Uh... well, can I say I just won a prize?"

"What the hell? You upstairs brat, if you've got the guts, give me your ID, and see if I take care of you or not!"

As Fang Yun and his group of five finished the last round of the first half of the battle.

Looking at the arena where the White Tiger team members had been completely wiped out.

The viewers in the live stream, who were completely absorbed in watching the game and voting, all breathed a sigh of relief.

The first half of the competition was full of ups and downs, but also full of unexpected twists and turns.

At first, everyone thought that by summarizing the patterns, Fang Yun could make a lot of gold coins.

However, their subsequent series of defeats quickly made them realize the reality.

After realizing the reality, they immediately unleashed their second magic weapon: everyone started randomly throwing things around, trying to gamble with Fang Yun's luck!
After a lot of busy work and hassle, it all came to an end.

After everyone discussed it, they were surprised to find that during the first half of the competition, they had unknowingly allowed Fang Yun to obtain an extra 25 top-tier fruits!
Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Outrageous!
You should know that when the broadcast started in the morning, Fang Yun said that he would give away a top-of-the-line self-selected fruit every half hour.

Many people already suspected that he didn't want to live a good life anymore.

After all, given his frequency of delivering fruit every half hour.

By the time he finished broadcasting, he had released approximately 22 top-tier videos, a truly astonishing number.

The result was completely unexpected.

Just when everyone thought that releasing 22 fruits a day was his limit,

The first half of the match ended in the afternoon.

Everyone then realized that their perspective was too narrow.

What's so special about releasing 22 videos a day?
He unleashed 25 fruits in just two hours of the first half of the match; that guy is a real madman!

The key point is that everyone knows that Fang Yun's harvest for today is far from over.

After a short rest, Fang Yun and his group of five had returned to the arena for the second half of the competition.

Their opponent in this match is the winner of the other group in the first half, the 'Suzaku Representative Team'.

Both sides have half an hour to rest.

When the time came, it was exactly 4 p.m.

The elite group showdown that will determine the final champion is about to begin!

Based on Fang Yun and his team's performance in the first half...

Even if viewers in the live stream correctly predict the next round, the odds are still only about 50%.

Then he'll have to issue at least 20 more fruits in the second half of the match!

In addition to the extra rewards for guessing.

He also had to distribute a fruit every half hour.

Calculate it this way.

Even though everyone was used to his arrogance, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

A day's live stream will give away at least 70 top-tier virtual gifts, which would amount to 50 yuan in cash.

This isn't a game streamer at all, he's clearly a complete godfather!

The audience was watching the various calculations and concerns on the public screen, some even worried that he was going too far and things would get out of hand.

Fang Yun shook his head and didn't say anything more.

In fact, these viewers made a mistake in their calculations.

He did indeed issue an extra 25 fruits in the first half.

And according to the duration of today's live stream, he does indeed need to release 22 fruits.

But apart from these.

The second half of the competition was about to begin, and it was impossible for the spectators to get another 25 fruits from him.

the reason is simple.

Both teams in the second half were the winners of the first round.

Since they are the winners, their overall strength is naturally incomparable to that of their opponents in the first half.

The saying goes, "A needle against a wheat awn."

Fang Yun and his team are indeed very strong.

But what if they encounter those top-tier teams without any ranking requirements?

His four teammates will immediately become four weak points. Forget about the number of rounds, it's hard to say whether he can even win against the opponent!

And that's why.

Fang Yun also made some changes to the voting options for the second half of the competition.

"Alright, the second half of the competition will begin in about 20 minutes."

"As usual, before the game begins, I need to explain the rules of the second half—"

Clearing his throat, Fang Yun watched as the scrolling comments slowed down instantly after he spoke, and continued, "As everyone knows, the intensity of the first half of the competition is completely different from that of the second half, so we must make some corresponding adjustments to the voting rules."

“首先，下半场比武的投票选项将会从五项提升为六项，分别为1-5、6-10、11-15、16-20，20以上以及落败！”

"Each voting session will still last 30 seconds, and the reward for each correct prediction will still be 5 top-tier fruits—that remains unchanged, but—"

Speaking of it.

Looking at the comments section, which had become somewhat agitated due to the rule adjustments.

Fang Yun didn't give them a chance to speak and immediately said, "This time I will add a new segment. After the second half of the competition, no matter how our team performs, as long as everyone's voting success rate is more than 50% (including 50%), I will draw an extra 20 top-tier fruits for everyone after the competition!"

"What the hell?!"

"Wori?!"

"No... Brother Cheng, don't rush, let me sort this out first!!"

"The voting options have increased from five to six, but the rewards remain the same. It seems like the difficulty has increased, but if our success rate in betting exceeds 50%, that's a guaranteed 30 or even 40 top-tier fruits!"

"Luckily, I held back from criticizing when Brother Cheng announced the rule changes. It was a wise decision. I knew Brother Cheng would never disappoint!"

"Don't get too excited, everyone. With the voting options going from five to six, you don't really think that 50% success rate is so easy to achieve, do you?"

"We have to try, no matter how difficult it is. Otherwise, what do you want to do? Force Brother Cheng to revise the plan again?"

"Stop messing around. If you really piss him off, he might just shut down the broadcast, and we'll all be in trouble. Let's just leave it like this; I think it's fine!"

"Great +1. Don't upset Brother Cheng, he's my new godfather!..."

It has to be said that Fang Yun's method of not giving the audience a chance and announcing all the rule changes and compensation rewards in one go was very effective.
