Everyone had finished touching the dice, but no one immediately went to the ring. The two groups of people walked directly to their companions and began to discuss in low voices. The host, Wharton, had no intention of rushing them. Instead, he just waited for everyone.
"Why do we have to take so many dice for the first time?" Jade Emperor asked as he held the dice in his hand. Of course, everyone was holding the dice tightly at this time. If they dropped it, not only would they be seen, but they could also be judged as the loser and lose a point. So, of course, they could not let go.
"It doesn't matter. We don't have to rush this game because the winner is not decided in one round. So, we have a lot of time to study our opponents slowly." Li Huailin said, "So, we don't have to be too anxious in the first round. We just need to test our opponents slowly."
"So, you guessed that our opponents might not take too many dice?" Jade Emperor asked.
"According to a more scientific calculation, the fewer dice there are, the higher the chance of guessing correctly." Li Huailin said, "For example, if each person has one dice, then there are only four dice in total. The sum of the numbers that appear is only 4-24, which is a total of 21 possibilities. If there are five dice, the number that appears is 5-30, which is a total of 26 possibilities. The more dice there are, the larger the range of guesses. However, according to probability, the more dice there are, the more controllable the number that is thrown. Each dice is calculated according to the middle number of 3.5, so it is normal for ten dice to throw a number around 35. "
"Eh …" The Jade Emperor said in surprise, "I'm impressed that you're analyzing it so seriously, but …"
"But, after all, there is a setting for the explosive point. So, the more dice there are, the easier it is for the explosive point to appear." Li Huailin said, "Under normal circumstances, even if you guess incorrectly, you won't get any points. If you guess the explosive point, not only will you not get any points, but you will also get points deducted. So, in this game, the more stable way is to stay away from the explosive point. Not only will the number be easier to guess, but you will also not get points deducted. I looked at these two opponents, and they don't look like players who are good at fighting. Especially this Japanese girl, who seems to be very good at math. She has been explaining to that guy since the beginning, just like how I'm explaining to you now. So, I think she has already explained everything that I just analyzed. "
"Is that so …" Jade Emperor nodded slightly. He looked at the situation over there. Indeed, Mito and Evato were also discussing, and the person who was talking was basically Mito.
"Although this competition is said to be a competition of intelligence and luck, the most important thing is the psychological battle. The most obvious is the setting of the three-minute break. Otherwise, we could just grab the die and start throwing it. Why did they set this three-minute break? Of course, it's to let us play psychological games. So, we can slowly test their situation in the first few rounds. So, we are not in a hurry. Li Huailin said, "Moreover, our first round of guesses was at the back, so this round of attack is very good."
"An opportunity to attack?" The Summoning Jade Emperor thought for a moment. "I see. The order of the first round is for the two people on the other side to guess first, so we can catch them off guard. If the other side has fewer dice in their hands, they might guess a smaller number, while we guess a larger number. This way, we can guarantee that we will be the ones to score."
"Although that's the case, it's hard to say what will happen because we still don't know who these two people are." Li Huailin said, "Since the other party is able to participate in the intermediate trial, he must have some level of skill. So, don't make a judgment yet. Let's watch the first round first."
"Alright, I'll remind the four of you to pay attention to the time. It's almost three minutes." Just as they were talking, Wharton said something. Everyone looked at Wharton's side and saw that there was an hourglass next to him. It looked like he had just taken it out, and the sand in the hourglass seemed to be running out.
Without saying anything, the four people immediately clenched their fists and went to the ring. They stood at the four corners of the table. When the four people were in the ring, the host walked over.
"Very good, everyone is still following the rules. Now … it's time to guess the number, starting with … you. Tell me the number you guessed loudly!" The host said.
The first person to guess the number was, of course, Edwatto. It was obvious that the two of them had already thought about the number. As soon as the number came up, Edwatto immediately said, "60."
"Say it louder, I can't hear you," the host said.
"60!" Edvato repeated in a louder voice.
"Hmm …" The Jade Emperor's expression changed slightly. Yes, the number guessed by the other party was larger than they had imagined, so the number of dice in the other party's hand must be more than they had imagined. This was more troublesome because the probability of the dice exploding was much higher. Of course, Li Huailin did not react at all. He felt as if victory was within his grasp. This was because he noticed that the girl, Mito, was looking at the two of them. She was observing him, so of course, he could not reveal any flaws. As for summoning the Jade Emperor, he had no choice.
"Okay, 60." The host nodded. "Next, it's your turn. Tell me the number loudly."
The second person to guess was Miteng. However, Miteng was different from Edvato. Miteng hesitated for a moment, thinking about something. She didn't know if Li Huailin and the Jade Emperor's reaction had affected her. After thinking for a while, Mito said, "80."
"Huh?" This time, it was Edvato who asked the question. It was obvious that the number Mito said was different from what he had expected. It shouldn't have been the number they had discussed. It seemed that Mito had changed it at the last minute. Of course, Mito didn't explain it to him.
“80。” The host nodded, then pointed to Li Huailin's side, "Very good, then next, you!"
"Hmm … 100," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Huh?" "Huh?" The two people on the other side were obviously stunned because the number 100 was a little strange. In this number guessing game, it was very disadvantageous to guess the highest number. Because the player closest to the correct number would win, the number 100 could not be approached. If the number was higher, it would be a number that would not appear. If the number was higher, wouldn't it be better to just say 81? Because the two people in front were below 80, if the number was higher, they could win by shouting 81. Why would they shout 100?
However, their question was quickly answered because the Jade Emperor Summoning immediately shouted the number "81." The result was obvious. If the number was 4 to 80, Edvato or Mito would win. If it was more than 80, Li Huailin and the Jade Emperor Summoning would win. The focus of the first round was on the number 80.
"Hmm, 60, 80, 100, 81." The host, Wharton, nodded slightly, "I got it. Now it's time to throw the dice. Of course, you must follow the rules when you throw the dice. Of course, putting the dice down directly is not acceptable. You must keep your hands at least 30 centimeters away from the table. If you do it carelessly, it will be considered cheating. Understand?"
"Yes." The four people nodded. This was not a problem. The four of them did not intend to do anything about it.
"Then, let's play it together. Three, two, one." As soon as the host finished speaking, the four people threw the dice in their hands at the same time. A series of rolling dice sounds could be heard.
Everyone's movements were similar. When they threw the dice, they did not look at the number of dice they threw. Everyone instantly looked at the opposite hand to see how many dice they had thrown. Of course, it was the same for Li Huailin. He raised his head and looked at the opposite side. Both Edivato and Mito had only thrown five to six dice, which was slightly more than he had expected. On the other hand, Edivato and Mito's expressions were a little more colorful. Edvato was obviously shocked when he saw the dozen dice in their hands. Mito, on the other hand, was a little calmer. She had already guessed this when she guessed 80.
The dice rolling on the table stopped very quickly. Of course, the final number was also determined. The four of them wanted to calculate the number of points immediately, but before they could do so, the host suddenly spoke.
"Alright, the results are out. I will now announce the results." Wharton had no idea how he did it, but it only took him two seconds to count all the dice thrown. It was inhuman speed. "The total number of dice thrown is … 97 points. The winner of this round, contestant Ruolin, contestant Ruolin, contestant Ruolin wins one point."
"What?!" Edvato was taken aback for a moment. Then, the few of them immediately started calculating the situation. Eduardo threw five dice, and the result was 20; Mito threw six dice, and the result was 19; Jade Emperor threw ten dice, and the result was 38; Li Huailin was the most confused because Li Huailin had thrown 11 dice, and the total result was 20. Among the 11 dice, there were four 1s, five 2s, one 3s, and one 4s. These 11 dice actually didn't have the numbers 5 or 6. It was really a bit incomprehensible. What was the probability of this?
Of course, the result was the same as the host said. The total was 97 points. Of course, Li Huailin still won the first point.
