Killing monsters with a 100% explosion rate, are you luckier than me?
Chapter 1643 It’s hard to tell true from false!
This evolutionary corridor is not about simply taking; it sets up these intellectual quiz challenges at specific points.
Once you pass, you'll not only be on the right track, but you'll also receive a lot of attribute points to make up for the previous losses, and there might even be a surplus.
This undoubtedly greatly reduces the overall cost and gives the dungeon more variability and strategy.
In his previous life, Grand was able to complete the game not only because he had accumulated enough attribute points, but also because he must have successfully passed these question-and-answer levels.
"I understand." Ye Chuyun suppressed her excitement and regained her composure. "Please ask."
The squirrel statue seemed pleased with Ye Chuyun's reaction. It cleared its throat, stroked its non-existent whiskers with its paw, and posed its first question:
"Listen, the first question comes from me, the sophist Remy!"
"Among the adventurers of your Blue Star Region, there is a classic paradox."
“A blacksmith said, ‘Of all the weapons I’ve crafted, only those that are not ‘top-tier’ require me to personally enchant them to improve their quality.’”
"Then may I ask, does a blacksmith need to personally enchant a top-quality weapon he forges?"
"Please answer within three seconds! One, two..."
Ye Chuyun raised an eyebrow.
This problem seems simple, but it contains a logical trap.
If the answer is yes, it would be tantamount to admitting that even top-tier weapons need enchanting to improve their quality, which contradicts the premise that "only non-top-tier weapons need enchanting."
If the answer is no, it seems to meet the premise, but upon closer inspection, the quality of a top-tier weapon is already sufficient, so it is only natural that it does not need enchantment. This does not prove whether the blacksmith's words are true or false.
This is a typical variation of the self-referential paradox, which tests one's ability to make logical judgments in an instant.
However, for Ye Chuyun, who possesses divine power and thinks at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, there is almost no need to think.
Just as he was about to utter the word "three," he calmly replied:
"The premise of this question itself contains a logical fallacy, and it is impossible to draw a valid conclusion about whether 'top-tier weapons' need to be enchanted based on this premise."
"The blacksmith's statement may be true or false, and it has nothing to do with whether top-quality weapons need to be enchanted."
"..." Remy's playful expression froze, and it even forgot to move its paws that were holding the nut.
It anticipated that the other party might be tricked or forced to choose between two options, but it did not expect that the other party would directly point out the flaws in the problem from the root.
"...Fine, you're something else!" Remy muttered somewhat resentfully. "Here, a hint for you."
It pointed to the book statue next to it.
"As for the right road, honest Tom would say it's on the right."
After saying that, Remy hugged the nuts, puffed up her cheeks, and shrank back, refusing to move.
The book statue, also known as "Honest Tom," seemed to tremble slightly and emit a soft hum that sounded as if in approval.
It raises a second question.
"Challenger, your intelligence is astonishing."
"Then, please listen to my question."
"In the legal system of the world of gods and demons, suppose such a skill exists."
"【Absolute Hit】: The effect is that the next attack will definitely hit the target, ignoring any dodge, block, or immunity effects."
"There is also another skill, [Absolute Evasion], which means that the next attack received will definitely be evaded, ignoring any hit, sure hit, or lock-on effects."
"When [Absolute Hit] is used to attack, and the target is in an [Absolute Evasion] state, will the attack result in a hit or a miss?"
Please explain your reasoning.
Ye Chuyun felt a chill run down her spine.
This is a question involving the determination of rule priority, which has been a persistent issue in the gaming industry.
If you simply think that "absolute" cancels out "absolute", you've fallen into a fixed mindset.
Ye Chuyun answered calmly without pausing:
"The result was a miss."
"reason."
"According to the usual rules and logic, launching an attack is the initial action, determining a hit is the intermediate process, and causing damage is the final result."
"The effect of 'Absolute Hit' applies to the hit detection phase, ensuring that this phase passes."
"The effect of [Absolute Evasion] does not apply to the hit determination stage, but rather to the earlier attack initiation stage."
"This makes it logically impossible for this attack to be effectively launched or impossible to enter the hit determination phase after it is launched."
"Therefore, [Absolute Hit] doesn't even have a chance to take effect, and the attack is nullified by [Absolute Evasion] in the very first stage."
"It can be understood that [Absolute Evasion] has higher priority at the rule level. It directly negates the effectiveness of the attack, rather than fighting against the hit judgment."
The book statue, Tom, remained silent for a moment.
“Brilliant, insightful to the core.” Tom’s voice was filled with genuine admiration. “You not only saw the surface of the skill description, but also understood the operational sequence of the rule hierarchy.”
"This is true wisdom."
"So, based on my observations and judgment, my suggestion for you is..."
"The right path is on the left."
Two hints have been obtained.
Remy said, "Tom would say the right road is on the right."
Tom simply said, "The right road is on the left."
Now, Ye Chuyun needs to judge for herself which piece of information is true and which is false, in order to find the true and correct path.
Given that Remy claims to be a "sophist," and his speaking style is full of sarcasm and misleading, he is likely lying.
Tom claims to be "honest," and his questions and evaluations appear rigorous and fair, suggesting he may be telling the truth.
However, this cannot be used to draw a direct conclusion.
Because Remy's hint was about what "Tom would say," it was indirect information.
Ye Chuyun quickly constructed a logical model in her mind.
Assumption 1: Tom is honest, that is, he will only tell the truth.
Therefore, Tom's direct statement that "the correct path is on the left" is true. The correct path is indeed on the left.
Remy's statement that "Tom would say the right road is on the right" is a lie.
Because Tom was actually referring to the left side.
This aligns with Remy's identity as a "sophist".
Conclusion: The correct road is on the left.
Assumption 2: Tom is lying.
Therefore, Tom's direct message that "the correct road is on the left" is false.
The right path is actually on the right.
Remy said, "Tom would say the right road is on the right."
If the real road is on the right, Tom, being a liar, would lie and say "left."
But Remy's claim that "Tom will say the right" is not true, so Remy's statement is false.
Does this fit Remy's identity as a "sophist"? It seems so.
However, this assumption contains contradictions.
