The chicken was offended

"What priority?"

"To put it simply, there are always some local rules when playing chess and card games in different regions. For example, it is a national consensus to play flying chess until '6' is released. However, in some places, in order to complete a game quickly, Rolling a '1' gives you an exit from the other side of the nest, even closer to the finish line than a '6'."

"What I want to say is that there is also a potential rule on this chessboard. At '6', you can roll the dice again, and you can ignore the result of the first throw when you roll continuously."

Zhao Gang said: "But you are guessing. Since you said that Wang Mingcheng was imprisoned last time, you will find that he was unable to roll the second time because he was imprisoned last time. This priority should also be the result of the dice roll before Throwing order."

"You have a good idea, but I noticed that the result appeared at the wrong time after the first throw. You should still remember that if the grid you walked caused the profit or loss of the gold coin, the change will immediately occur in your hand. You draw At the moment of the card, the group of us entered the hallucination together without any delay. Before Wang Mingcheng went to jail, you made a few jokes before the cage fell, how long was the delay for half a minute?"

Zhao Gang: "Your guess is always too subjective, there is no evidence, isn't it?"

"It is indeed a guess. The result of Yuhao's first throw is not very good. I guess the second throw can wash away the result of the first one. Even if he can't wash away, he can only bite the bullet."

Yu Hao said, "You know exactly what I threw the first time."

This is an affirmative tone, Lu Yifei nodded and responded: "It's either hallucinations or drawing cards, one of the two. Considering that the priority of hallucinations may be higher, it should be drawing cards."

Yu Hao confirmed his statement and closed his eyes: "It's a card draw."

Paji, Yang Luan applauded abruptly, and then realized that the occasion was inappropriate, so he withdrew his hand in embarrassment and whispered, "Brother Lu is awesome."

Lu Yifei rolled his eyes.

Looking at Lu Yifei's look of being so proud of being sought after by others, someone in the dark sneered loudly in his heart: He didn't figure out anything and was still showing off his knowledge, and he didn't know how he died, hee hee.

In the next few rounds, using this priority to avoid several card draws, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but a question raised the big stone in their hearts again.

"We've been here for more than 30 hours, and I can't take it anymore." This is what Liu Yan said.

Indeed, although it takes only a few hours to go out in the real world after staying in the Gaia world, energy is conserved. For a longer period of time, their bodies have been consuming energy in order to maintain their breathing. energy heat.

The gold coins in the hands of most people cannot be consumed for a while, but after a long battle without food and water, they will be dehydrated within a few days, and even if no one dies when they stop on the chessboard, they will be starved to death die.

However, what is more urgent is that those who do not have many gold coins in their hands will soon face the fate of being wiped out. If they have not obtained gold coins from others before that, they may die of thirst and starvation before most people die.

In short, both paths lead to an unsolvable destination.

When everyone heard Liu Yan's words, what appeared in their minds was not how to live for a short time, but that no matter what they struggled to no avail, a desperate destination was waiting for them to approach step by step, and they couldn't even breathe. It's heavy.

Yu Mei'e sat paralyzed on the ground, yes, no matter how many gold coins she had in her hand, if she couldn't kill the others, she would have to play round and round without limit.

But I don't know what I thought of, and I quickly cheered up, and I planned to kindly persuade others to give up struggling, saying: "The property in my hand should be more than twice that of yours. It's almost a dream for you people to make a comeback. It's not as good as yourself." Just step out of the grid. Anyway, there is only one person alive on this chessboard, you can do it yourself, send me out, and I can take care of your affairs."

This is an ugly word, almost saying that everyone is going to die.

Those who couldn't say no to her were red-faced, and those who were too lazy to argue with her were disdainful to confront her. Suddenly, no one opened their mouths to refute her.

Is it true that only one can live on this chessboard?Lu Yifei doubted his previous speculation.

Monopoly, monopoly, what is the difference between the real monopoly and the chessboard they are on? Is it the difference between the chess pieces and real people, and do the rules correspond to each other?Did he miss the key to breaking the game?

"This game is completely different from the game I thought. At first I thought it would be fine just to follow the instructions, but I would suffocate looking at the words on the grid for dozens of hours." Meng Lang pressed his button Head, as if he had lost too much blood.

Looking at instructions to act?looking at...

Lu Yifei had a flash of inspiration, so it turned out that he knew how that thing used tricks to make people fall into hallucinations.The important thing now is how to make that thing have to jump out by itself.

Lu Yifei raised his head: "Speaking of which, they played blind chess, so everyone can only see their own grid."

Yang Luan wrinkled his face: "Blindfold chess is deceptive. There are too many grids on the board, which always makes us misremember and make mistakes."

Yan Changhai reassured: "It's normal to have misremembered in this situation, there is no need to blame anyone." Yan Changhai walked onto the real estate owned by Yang Luan before, but she remembered it as an open space, which made her feel awkward and apologize for a while.

Lu Yifei released a blockbuster: "What if the purpose of blindfold chess is not to increase everyone's memory and the difficulty of replaying, but to hide the real grid content?"

Yan Changhai: "What do you mean? When people walk into that grid, they will know the real content. Is it necessary? You mean, someone lied?"

Lu Yifei waved his hand and pointed directly at it: "No, it's not people who lie, but the system."

The others were half dazed, half panicked: "How can the system lie?"

"Now more than 30 hours have passed, maybe even longer. The watch on your hand will not turn when you come in. The only thing that is clear is that everyone is tired now. Our attention and concentration have been controlled in a very small range. Even The probability of finding abnormalities in the brain is smaller than usual, and the brain is not working well."

"Can you stop going around in circles?" Yu Hao said impatiently.

"Well, it's like this." Lu Yifei frowned.

Yu Hao: "You!"

Quite a few people actually laughed out loud when they were interrupted like this, and felt surprised that they could still laugh out loud under such circumstances.

"Our nerves were so tense that we probably didn't even notice that what we called playing chess by throwing dice was actually being instructed by the system voice to act. The grid we were in was not the result of our own throwing at all."

Crowd:! ! !

At first, every time they entered a grid, everyone was cautious, for fear of touching any mechanism. This kind of tension caused them to lower their heads and carefully see the content under their feet every time. .

Over time, when they lose energy and gradually get used to the system's announcements, they automatically and consciously no longer look down, enjoying the automatic and easier way of obtaining information, just like boiling frogs in warm water, giving the system an opportunity.

"Have you ever wondered what the system is hiding and how many hallucinations we have entered under his guidance? It's a pity that I knew it too late and I couldn't save Uncle Wu in time." When he noticed that everyone When he entered the grid, he should have thought of it without bowing his head to distinguish carefully, but he himself was led by the nose by the voice prompts.

Yu Hao tried not to care about his previous provocation: "You mean, if we don't listen to the voice, we can completely avoid hallucinations?"

"That's right. Illusion is not a part of 'Monopoly'. After all, Monopoly is a life game. It should show the rich life experience of getting rich and going bankrupt, and control the player's mood changes in accumulating wealth and losing wealth. Death, this game does not have the charm that lasted for a hundred years. Of course, you can also say that this is a game that naturally has its winners and losers, but I think there is still a difference between mastering the trajectory of life and passively entering the life route planned by others .”

"It's like that. I think you can talk better than me. You can talk about the dead." Yu Mei'e was a little annoyed when she saw him carelessly, "Then let me ask you, since we are so easy to be manipulated, this What kind of 'system' can let us fend for ourselves from the very beginning, why bother to exchange such important things for gold coins."

"Yes?" Although Yang Luan was dissatisfied with Yu Mei'e's tone, this was what she wanted to ask, "She exchanged her luck for gold coins, but her luck has not deteriorated. How can this be explained?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Yifei felt that there was a special burning in his gaze, but he didn't care: "I don't know if you have heard of the Concord fallacy①? The two countries are investing a lot of money, manpower, and material resources to develop high-end aircraft. Later, halfway through, they wanted to stop research and development because they were afraid that it would be difficult to adapt to the market, but the country was not willing to invest all the expenses, and continued to spend a lot of money on research and development and succeeded. In the end, because it was indeed difficult to market, the governments of the two countries paid for the failed investment.”

"It's the same as we started. If the game throws you a thousand gold coins directly, you must be able to step on the board with ease, but you exchange the important things in your life, thinking that you may lose the next few decades. Your life, wealth, happiness, your mentality will be different.”

"The price you pay to exchange for gold coins, these small gold coins carry the rest of your life, you can't help but fear that these will become sunk costs, and put all your heart and mind on them, secretly happy because of 'getting', because of 'losing' ’ And panic, step by step, you become a chess piece that is easy to control, all your thoughts are seen through and mastered by that thing, and your mind is transparent in its eyes.”

Wang Mingcheng added: "So, what we exchange is indeed our lives." For the system, trampling on your lives is easy.

Everyone's faces became more and more ugly. It turned out that they had fallen into the quagmire called the game of life from the very beginning.
