Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

As the mechanical sound disappeared, a bright red ten-minute countdown appeared above the six treasure chests in the two rooms.

Yun Shan's eyes flashed with excitement, and she said excitedly: "Isn't this level a sure win for us?"

Dongmen Qiansha immediately asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Yunshan turned her gaze to the seven members of the Good Luck Team on the other side. Even though she was speaking the language of the real world, she still lowered her voice cautiously, "Qiansha, have you forgotten that Li Ming has the ability to predict the future?"

"That's right." Dongmen Qiansha suddenly realized, "As long as the captain takes a quick look, he will know which treasure chest contains the gem that opens the door."

Xingmei and Cecily smiled at each other. For them, victory at this level was almost certain.

"Uh..." Li Ming hesitated for a moment and sighed softly, "You'd better not place too high expectations on my abilities."

The other four were slightly stunned when they heard this, obviously not understanding what it meant.

"Could it be that your supernatural powers are subject to some kind of restrictions?" Yun Shan asked doubtfully.

"No," Li Ming shook his head, "The supernatural power can be used normally."

"So what do you mean by what you said just now?" Yunshan asked further.

"Hmm...how should I put it?" Li Ming pondered for a moment, as if looking for the right words. "Due to the frequent use of 'Time Pupil Shadow' and the significant improvement in my own strength, I am now beginning to gradually understand the deep mechanism behind it."

"It's not invincible. For example, I tried to change the difficulty of the game through my ability to predict the future, but the result was no change. It was the same game no matter how many times I refreshed it."

"In the past, I mistakenly thought that this was set by the system and the so-called random draw was just a formality, but now it seems more like a fate that has been determined long ago."

"Take this game as an example. If I know that the first box is empty and there are gems in the second box, but if I open the second box directly, I will find that there are no gems in it. It is still empty."

"Next, whether I open the first or third box, I will definitely get gems."

"In other words, although I can predict the future, if the fate of certain things has already been determined, I cannot change it, or more accurately, my current ability is not enough to change it."

Cecily frowned and said thoughtfully, "I see. What you mean is that if you predict twice before finding the box with the gems, then no matter what we choose, the first box will always be empty, and the second box will definitely contain gems, right?"

"That's right." Li Ming nodded and confirmed, "If the future destiny trajectory I peeked into is to find the gem in the third treasure chest, then, under the premise that we cannot change the destiny trajectory, no matter what we choose, the first two chests will definitely be empty and we will definitely not find the gem."

"How can you be so sure? What if fate can be changed?" Yunshan still found it a little unbelievable.

Li Ming showed a helpless smile, "Because I can't fight against the power of the system. Although 'Time Pupil Shadow' is omnipotent in most cases, once it faces the system, it is helpless."

At this time, Xingmei said: "In any case, let's consider other coping strategies first. If Li Ming's ability can come in handy, that would be the best, but if it doesn't work, we won't be at a loss."

Dongmen Qiansha's eyes fell on the members of the 'Good Luck' team on the other side, and a trace of worry rose in her heart, "They seem quite happy over there. I wonder if there is a member with luck in their team."

"No doubt about it, this is for sure." Yun Shan replied coldly, "Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they found the exit we opened at the 60-second mark? Considering the name of their team, this is simply an obvious thing."

“But does luck really play a role in this level?” Cecily said, turning her gaze to Li Ming, as if seeking an answer from him.

Li Ming shook his head, indicating that he was not too sure. "Luck is a supernatural power that is even more elusive and closely linked to fate. To be honest, I don't know much more about it than you do."

"Forget it." Cecily sighed softly, "Let's think about our own strategy first, little man, do you have any specific ideas?"

When the other three heard this, they all turned their eyes to Li Ming.

Li Ming thought for a moment and said slowly, "There are three treasure chests in this room, and they will refresh every time you open them. If there is only one gem, then the probability of getting a gem each time is one-third."

"Once you open an empty treasure chest, the monster's strength will increase by a small level to L1+."

"Therefore, if our luck is very bad and we keep opening empty treasure chests, the monsters' strength will be increased to L9+ level in a very short time."

Yun Shan smiled bitterly and interrupted, "Let alone L9+ level, even if it's L8 level, we can hardly resist it."

"Yes." Li Ming nodded and continued, "So, the total number of times we open empty treasure chests and use the reset function cannot exceed 14 times."

"After reaching this number, the monster's strength will increase to level L8. We can deal with it for a short time, but if it exceeds level L8, we will definitely die."

At this point, he pondered for a moment, "In this way, the ability of 'Time Pupil Shadow' is not completely useless, because I can predict the number of times I will find the gems when I open the box. If the predicted number of times is more than four, then I will use the reset function."

"We open treasure chest No. 1 first. If there is no gem, we immediately reset it to the initial state. Then we open treasure chest No. 2. If there is still no gem, we reset it again. Through this process, we can infer that the gem must be in treasure chest No. 3."

"Eh? Wait, that's not right." Yun Shan seemed to have noticed the contradiction. "Didn't you say before that the trajectory of fate cannot be changed? Why do you say now that the third treasure chest will definitely contain gems?"

Li Ming explained somewhat helplessly: "What I said was that I cannot change the trajectory of my fate under the system rules, but I never said that the system cannot be changed either."

"In fact, when we use the reset function, we have already changed the original trajectory of destiny to some extent. Otherwise, what is the meaning of resetting?"

Hearing this, Xing Meixue's plum blossom-like clear eyes suddenly flashed with a smart brilliance, "I have an idea. Every time we use the reset function, Li Ming, you can predict again to see if you will get a gem next time. If you are lucky, there is a chance that the number of resets will be reduced."
