Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the others around them flickered, probably weighing the pros and cons or having their own ulterior motives.

But Qin Shang didn't care, he had no intention of gambling.

In other words, Qin Shang had no intention of eating from the beginning to the end.

He just wanted to make the game go faster...

Because he has discovered the sure-fire way to win the game.

But the winning method must be based on something that happens...

So sorry everyone...

A gleam of light flashed in Qin Shang's eyes.

"But I must warn you: anyone who doesn't eat pizza will die. Although this dungeon isn't fatal, you've probably seen the limbs wrapped around the walls in barbed wire. If you don't complete the game experiment, you'll ultimately die. Don't you think, with only nine slices of pizza in this round and ten of us, there simply won't be enough to go around? If one of us is destined to die, the rest of us just have to wait and see, right?"

“Everyone wants to be the tenth person who didn’t eat pizza…”

"But sorry, the pizza isn't evenly distributed. Those who don't eat the pizza will also die. I'm a Trickster player, and I've gotten a hidden hint!"

Qin Shang used up his last bit of strength to finish these words, then quickly threw himself in front of the table;

"Only one of them is poisonous. I'll take three. If I survive, I can kill all four of my competitors..."

After saying that, Qin Shang grabbed three slices of pizza and stuffed them into his mouth.

What the hell!

Seeing this, several players wanted to step forward to stop him, but they were a little slow. Just as Qin Shang was about to put the pizza into his mouth, a burly man shrouded in shadows beside him grabbed his arm and he was completely unable to put the food into his mouth.

Snapped--

A heavy force like an iron clamp tightly grasped Qin Shang's arm.

At the same time, after seeing Qin Shang suddenly jump up and grab the pizza, all the players immediately showed obvious hostility towards him and labeled him a madman.

"Trickster hidden hint? I'm also a professional Trickster player, why didn't I hear the hidden hint?"

The burly man with the number 3 written on his chest pressed Qin Shang hard.

Hearing this, the young man sneered.

"You're just pretending to be your mother, you crude martial artist, are you strong? I exchanged my brain for it, hahahaha, you still want to cheat me?"

Bang bang bang!

As expected, Qin Shang was punched twice on the nose.

But he also indirectly confirmed... Well, as expected, the guy in front of him was a martial artist.

For his currently broken body, the two punches from the sturdy man were no ordinary attack, they could directly produce a critical hit effect. Qin Shang didn't even have the strength to cover his neck and raise his hand again. The pizza in his hand was snatched away, and then the whole person was thrown to the ground like garbage.

Immediately afterwards, some of the eight players gathered around the round table let out a sigh of relief.

As a result, something unexpected happened. Someone suddenly grabbed a slice of pizza with his quick eyes and hands.

As soon as this action was made, the others were stunned for a moment, then took action and began to scramble for the pizza on the table!

...Of course, not enough points.

Qin Shang took away three slices. Although the strong man stopped him from eating, the three slices of pizza were in his hands. That was to say, there were only six slices of pizza left. The quick-eyed and quick-handed people grabbed the pizzas, but two people reacted a little slower and missed. Then they turned their heads and looked at the strong man with burning eyes.

"Hand over the pizza..."

The numbers on the two players' clothes were 6 and 1 respectively. The strong man was stunned when he saw that he had become the target of everyone's criticism.

Then his face darkened.

"Are you really planning on eating pizza? Whether this guy is a con artist or a professional gamer is another matter..."

"It doesn't matter what he just said. We just want to hold the power over life and death in our own hands. Well, you've knocked that guy out, and now you have three slices of pizza left. Let's each have one."

Loss Aversion Effect

Qin Shang, who was lying on the ground dying, raised his eyelids and a thought flashed through his mind.

You definitely won't be able to complete the game without eating pizza. Even if the result is not death, you will lose the experience value reward in the copy of this level of the black tower. For those players who have waited for the training copy to open and enter it, the loss of experience points and points is more painful than killing them.

What's more, if you eat pizza, there is only a 1/2 chance of dying, but you will definitely not be able to pass the game if you don't eat pizza.

That is almost equivalent to certain death. In this situation, people would rather choose an outcome that may put them at risk.

Let’s use the example I gave before. It’s like telling someone that there are two buttons on the table and you have to press one of them. If you press A, there is a 50% probability of being in debt of one million and a 50% probability of getting a bonus of one million. If you press B, you will be in debt of five hundred thousand.

You have to press one of them.

At this time, you will find that you have transformed from a person who doesn't like gambling and is not good at gamblers into a gambling dog...

So even if these people haven't decided whether to eat pizza for the time being, they will not allow Qin Shang to deprive them of their right to choose in this regard.

After all, if Qin Shang ate three slices by himself, it would mean that there would be four people in the field who would lose the right to choose whether to eat pizza. In other words, even if it wasn't the burly man No. 3, there would be another person who would attack him.

Strong man No. 3 was a little stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect the pace of this game to be so fast.

"But what if people who don't actually eat pizza can also pass the game?"

"Whether I eat it or not is none of your business. I can take the pizza or not. Why are you talking so much nonsense, you fat guy? Are you trying to learn from that guy and eat three slices of pizza by yourself?"

At this moment, the strong man aroused public anger again as soon as he opened his mouth.

In fact, what other people care about is not whether they can eat pizza or not, but whether they have the right to eat pizza.

Although, the remaining eight people were just like the strong man, and hadn't decided whether to eat pizza or not...

But the strong man had three slices of pizza in his hand, which was equivalent to depriving the two players without pizza of the right to choose...

This is the "black sheep effect".

People will subconsciously reject individuals who are different from themselves.

A black sheep appears in the flock. Even if this black sheep has never done anything to hurt others, he will eventually be excluded because his color does not fit in with the flock and he stands out.

People will instinctively reject individuals who are different from themselves.

"Are you the one the doctor sent to monitor us? Otherwise, why would you stop us from eating pizza..."

The next moment, Qin Shang's weak voice sounded from the ground.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at him, the culprit who had caused the chaos in the first place.

"That's because you want to eat three pizzas. There are only nine pizzas here. If you eat three pizzas, four players will be left without pizza."

"Well, there are four people who don't have pizza, and you have all three slices."

The strong man No. 3 had a sullen face.

"That's because I'm worried about everyone making impulsive decisions. Perhaps there's a surefire way to win this game. We can discuss a strategy together."

"for example?"

"For example, if there are ten of us and there are only nine pizzas, maybe the one who didn't eat the pizza can still make it through the game alive."

"Very good, since you think so, give me a slice of the pizza in your hand."

Qin Shang coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood foam. "If you think that being the person who didn't eat pizza also offers a chance of survival, then wouldn't your choice be to be the person who doesn't eat pizza?"

"Give me one slice, and give the other two slices to the two players who didn't get pizza. You can be the one..."

"No way. Don't even think about it."

Hearing this, the strong man hesitated again.

He thought that maybe not eating pizza wouldn't necessarily cause any problems, but it was just a maybe.

By the same token, if I were the only one who didn’t get a pizza, wouldn’t that be equivalent to losing the right to choose?

"Our choice is to eat pizza. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Respect the fate of others?'"

The next moment, Qin Shang coughed again;

"Then give me a slice, and you can discuss how to divide the rest with those two people... I choose to eat pizza."

"Impossible, I can't give it to you. If I give it to you, what should I do?"

As soon as the strong man finished speaking, the other two players who didn't get pizza also spoke up;

"Yes, we can't give it to him. If we give him one piece, the three of us will have to compete for the remaining two pieces."

The reason these two people spoke at this moment was simply because they didn't want to compete with the strong man later.

Now each person has one piece and they can share it equally.

But after giving Qin Shang one piece, there were only two pieces left, and the three of them shared two pieces.

That means someone has to be the one without pizza.

For a moment, the situation came to a standstill.

"Among them, there are always some who want to refuse to eat..."

"You could actually give me a slice, and then the three of you could team up and snatch the pizza from the others, or force them to eat it. I'm starving. I feel like I'm about to starve to death. If I don't eat, I'm really going to die."

"And why did you keep preventing everyone from eating pizza? Even though you had three slices in your hand, shouldn't you have shared your pizza with those two people first?"

Qin Shang covered his chest and stared fiercely at the strong man No. 3 who had just punched him twice, breathing heavily;

"Hey...you, aren't you thinking of keeping it all for yourself?"

"Eliminate the three of us directly in this experimental game?"

After hearing this, the two players who didn't get the pizza looked at the strong man with unfriendly eyes.

He was just afraid of the strong man's physical advantage and did not choose to take action immediately.
