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

...But when Qin Shang thought about it, it made sense.

After all, Dr. Herman himself will also participate in the game this round. Except for the girl who took the initiative to jump out in advance and whispered to herself about her identity in the copy, other participants may not know that Dr. Herman plans to take part in the game himself this round. At least in this round of experimental game, Dr. Herman himself will not be able to act as the person who issues the rules of the game.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shang heard the exclamations of other participants around him.

"What the hell? A tug-of-war competition dozens of meters in the air? Are they trying to risk our lives?"

"Isn't the Divine Path just... a game where lives are staked on one side of the scale? What's so surprising about this? We're all veterans, and haven't we all been through this before?"

"But, but, isn't this a training dungeon? The dungeon description clearly says it's a non-death dungeon."

"Kid, you're still too young. Which district and which police station are you from? Didn't your leader tell you? A death-type dungeon is one where you'll definitely die if you don't clear it or complete the main quest. A non-death dungeon is one where you don't necessarily die even if you don't clear it or complete the main quest. But listen carefully, the non-death dungeon doesn't say you won't die, but rather that you might not."

Over there, several participants spoke at once. Some had serious expressions and panic in their eyes, while others simply lost their composure. If this wasn't the Divine Road copy, they would have been ready to run away.

While Qin Shang frowned, several participants around him began to communicate and discuss.

So far, no one has noticed that there is one less participant in the pizza-grabbing game.

Perhaps this is because everyone's attention is focused on the game...

bang-

The next moment, accompanied by a strange noise from both sides, two cranes began to move in both directions, lifting two very heavy wooden boards. The two wooden boards did not shake at all during the lifting process, and it was obvious that they were firmly fixed to the cranes on both sides.

However, the distance between the two lifting devices is about ten meters, and they are completely hollow.

In other words, will the players be divided into two teams and stand on these two wooden boards that are sent into the air by a crane to play tug-of-war?

Tug-of-war competition at a height of dozens of meters?

Wouldn't it be that once the loser is pulled out of the wooden board, he will fall down and be dozens of meters high?

Doesn't that mean that once one side fails, the entire side will be wiped out and fall into the abyss?

Qin Shang's eyelids twitched when he thought of this.

But don't be too scared. This time, we're playing on two stages, so you probably won't even need to go up in the air. Now, please listen carefully to the instructions for this experimental game. As you can see, there's a rope between the two aerial tug-of-war stages, and this rope is divided into four sections. If the players are divided into Teams A and B, then Team A will stand on the left plank, and Team B will stand on the right plank. They'll be lifted dozens of meters into the air by a crane. However, the remaining sections, belonging to Teams A1 and B1, will need to stand on the ground and grab the end of the rope!

As soon as he finished speaking, there were two sounds of something being thrown to the ground.

It wasn't a heavy object, so everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.

In fact, Qin Shang was a little confused by the rules of the second sentence. What is the two-stage competition mode?

When I turned my head, I noticed that they were actually two ropes.

Two ropes fell from the wooden board that was just sent high into the sky. Oh no, not two ropes. In fact, it should be one rope. The two ends of the rope fell from the left and right sides of the wooden board that was lifted into the sky.

But it did not fall to the ground. The two ends fell at a height of about one meter from the ground.

The noise just now was not the rope hitting the ground, but the sound of it being dropped from a high altitude and hitting the wall.

Qin Shang narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to understand the so-called concept of two platforms.

It's the same rope, and the players on both sides are divided into four parts.

The two parts are playing tug-of-war in the air. The rope is extremely long, and the hanging part is pulled by the players on the ground, forming an inverted U, or A shape.

Some players are in the middle of A, while other players are holding the rope on both sides of the lower end of A.

Damn, physics!

……hiss!

Qin Shang couldn't help but break out in two beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

Damn it, at a time like this, should we put a few more people down there... or a few more people in the air?

Damn, I’ve graduated for so many years, and I haven’t touched a book in my entire life.

It's okay if you ask me to do some accounting and ask some questions about psychology, but you ask me to do some physics?

[Now announcing the rules of the game; players will play tug-of-war with the staff. You will be divided into two groups, one of which will enter the wooden plank in the air, that is, the two areas A and B to tug-of-war.]

The remaining part is to grab the end of the rope hanging down from your teammates on the ground. The two sides in the tug-of-war in the air cannot exceed 500 kilograms, and there is a red line in the middle of the rope.

[The red line is the centerline of the rope. If a player in the air weighs more than 250 kilograms, every kilograms overweight will cause the red line to shift one meter toward the opponent. In other words, the more players in the air tug-of-war, the heavier they are, and the more disadvantageous it is to your side.]

[What you see now is that the red line is in the center of the rope]

[The rope hangs down from each side, one meter from the ground. This is within easy reach. If a player on either side exceeds 50 catties in weight during the aerial combat, this will happen.]

Sparsely——

Amid the sound of the rope rubbing against the wooden board in the air, the next second, in front of everyone's eyes, the rope on the left side floated up one meter in the air, and directly reached a distance of two meters, reaching a point where Qin Shang needed to raise his head and hand to reach it. As for the end of the rope on the other side, it moved down a distance of one meter and was already supported on the ground.

[This simulation assumes that the weight of the players entering the air on the left team exceeds that of the players on the right team by 50 catties.]

[Of course, if both of you enter the aerial platform with the same weight, then there's no chance of the rope tilting towards either side before the game begins. After all, the left team is fifty kilograms overweight, and the right team is also fifty kilograms overweight. The red line of the rope will return to the center of the origin, but you need to be careful...]

[After the game begins, both parties must ensure that there are at least five players playing in the air...]

[Okay, that’s all for the game rules.]

The participant team will compete in a tug-of-war with the staff team. Please note that there is no upper limit on the number of staff members in the team. The number of staff members participating in the game will depend on the number of participant players.

[That is, the more players there are, the more staff there are]

[Finally, the winner is determined by the method. If all players on one team's aerial plank fall off the plank and are pulled into the air, that team loses. The game will automatically end, and the red line in the middle and the rope connecting the players in the air and on the ground on that team will be cut.]

[In other words, once all the players in the air on a certain side fall off the plank, they will be deemed to have failed, and all of them will fall from a height of dozens of meters.]

Wow!

Suddenly, there was an uproar. This time it was not just the players who participated in the event, but even the staff on the opposite side who were impersonated by the observers had their eyes wide open and looked solemn.

Fuck!

Is this game something a human could come up with?

We are a group of remnants, prisoners who have been hungry for several days and finally had a full meal yesterday. Are we supposed to play tug-of-war with these strong and powerful staff members?

Are you thinking we're not dying fast enough?

"The origin of the red rope will shift based on the weight of the people on the platform. For every 50 kilograms of overweight, the rope will shift one meter to the other side. If the number of people is not overweight, then when both sides start the game, the ends of the rope will be about one meter above the ground."

"This game actually has a bit of a quirk. If one team's players entering the air are too heavy, the penalty rope's center point will be further away. This indirectly means that even though the players on the other side entering the air platform weigh less than their own team, the end of the rope hanging below will be closer to the ground. If one team is seriously overweight, the players on their side might not be able to reach the rope even if they jump up before the start of the game, while the players on the opposing team can touch the rope..."

For the players on the ground, we should choose a few heavyweights, right?

After all, although the participants and staff are divided into four parts, the part of participants entering the air to play tug-of-war, the part staying on the ground, the part of staff entering the air and the part of staff staying on the ground, if the teammate left on the ground is very heavy, this teammate can wrap the rope directly around his body. This is not a pulley. The opponent has to rely on the part of people in the air to play tug-of-war to pull all the players in the air on their side out of the board, and at the same time, they have to pull up the players on the ground who are supporting the opponent.

This is the structure...

A——B

||

||

||

A1 B1

A is a player who is part of the participants, and B is a player who is part of the staff.

A1 and B1 below are the players who are on the ground to support the team.

In other words, if the weight of the player on top of one side exceeds the limit...

It will become...

A——B

||

||

|

|

A1 B1

Yes.

As shown in the figure, the players on the A1 side can more easily reach the rope, while the players on the B side, especially those left on the ground, cannot reach the rope at all.

Even if Group B is incredibly heavy, unless they can use absolute strength in the air to crush Group A and the part of Player A1 left on the ground, and lower the other end of the rope behind them to a height that the players of Group B on the ground can reach.

Otherwise, the disadvantage of being too heavy in the air would be obvious. In fact, the people on the ground couldn't even touch the rope. This meant that the people in Group B in the air had to use their physical strength to completely pry off the opponents in Group A in the air and on the ground. This was no easy task...

You know, this is not a pulley.

"Even though I really don't understand physics, I'm certain that the team members who remain on the ground at the bottom are the key to winning this game!"

Qin Shang's eyes changed back and forth for a long time, and a firm look flashed in his eyes. He exhaled and turned his head to look at the other players.

[Players please wear helmets. This round of the game requires both parties to play with masks on because there is a special part.]
