"Is this message a greeting gift or a bait?
Why would she suddenly talk to me alone? What's her motive? "
Lin Sanjiu looked at Jiang Tian carefully. As she pondered over Jiang Tian's intentions, she asked, "Why are you so sure that I'm trying to increase my credibility?"
"I'm sure you are." Jiang Tian was very good-looking, but she was not usually very likable. Even when she smiled, there was a faint sense of confidence and arrogance, as if she was always looking down on other people's mental activities. She pointed at her eyes and said, "I noticed your eye movements."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment before she understood.
As the numbers were always on the upper right corner of her vision, it was like looking at a game screen. Everyone had to move their eyes to see the numbers clearly. Jiang Tian must have noticed that Lin Sanjiu would immediately look at the upper right corner of her vision after she said a sentence. Therefore, she deduced that Lin Sanjiu was using words to increase her credibility.
"Jiang Tian's eyes are so hairy, but it didn't obstruct her vision. This means that she is very sensitive to details …" Lin Sanjiu nodded and said, "I only increased it by 0.016. Someone deducted 0.1 because he thought I was lying."
Up to this point, both of them had exchanged information that didn't matter even if it was revealed. This was the basis for them to test each other's intentions.
"So, you've tried it twice." Jiang Tian nodded and said, "I'm guessing you've tried it twice."
This woman was really quick-witted. With the 0.1 that was deducted, Lin Sanjiu's total credibility was 0.116. If it was multiplied by 12, it meant that someone had generated more than 0.1 trust or she had tried it more than once. Considering that Jiang Tian should know that a truthful sentence could only generate 0.1 trust, the answer was naturally the latter.
"What about you? How many times did you try it? "
"Once." Jiang Tian smiled and said, "Unfortunately, when I wasn't completely convinced and only expressed my suspicions, even if my suspicions were correct, it wouldn't generate trust in me. Therefore, even though we found that there was more than one thing in the scenario, the people who heard me at the time did not give me any credit at all. "
In other words, the sentence that gave her 0.1 credibility was related to the probability of Lin Sanjiu telling the truth to Vanvolt.
"No wonder you can generate so much credibility in your first try," Lin Sanjiu praised him sincerely. "Because probability is probability, and numbers are numbers. They are not affected by personal bias. As long as they understand this mathematical problem, they will agree with you unreservedly and trust you. "
"You have a quick reaction too," Jiang Tian said as she gestured for her to follow her into the reception area and sat down on the sofa. "However, this Instance Dungeon is quite cunning. If it's just some truths that have nothing to do with the game, such as one plus one equals two, and people will die if they don't have air, then it won't generate any trust at all."
"Have you tried it?" Lin Sanjiu sat down opposite her.
Jiang Tian showed a rare hint of annoyance. "I've tried. I really shouldn't have tried. Actually, if you think about it, you should know that it's useless." She sighed and said, "In the end, that woman deducted 0.1 from me … I think it's because she realized what I was doing and thought that I was trying to deceive her with my credibility, so she immediately became distrustful of me."
"Was it when everyone was grabbing food from the kitchen?" "While I'm unaware, the other twelve people are also probing and developing …" When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she straightened her back and asked, "Why are you telling me so much?"
Jiang Tian raised her head. She looked at Lin Sanjiu with a serious and solemn expression, "I'm going to tell you what I'm going to say next, risking misunderstanding. Even though we have to be careful not to trust anyone's words in this game, you should have realized it, right? This is a game that can't be played without exchanging information, let alone winning. "
Lin Sanjiu immediately realized that Jiang Tian had expressed the thoughts that she had been harboring in her mind since the beginning. Jiang Tian had expressed them with her own words.
From a certain point of view, this game was very similar to the real world. Even if you knew that there was a high possibility that someone was lying, you still couldn't refuse the exchange of information. You couldn't not believe anything. If you didn't listen to any information and didn't trust anyone, you wouldn't be able to survive in human society.
After Jiang Tian said that, she didn't look at the top right corner of her vision.
"I've been observing you all this while. I've carefully listened to everyone's words and observed everyone's behavior. Even though it's still early, I think you are someone worth getting in touch with … You have the potential to be an ally." She lowered her voice and continued, "In this game, there can be two people. If we can cooperate, the chances of winning will be higher than fighting alone."
The question of "Why must I find an ally?" appeared in Lin Sanjiu's mind, but it was quickly replaced by a realization. Ironically, in this game where no one dared to trust another, having a trustworthy ally would give them an immeasurable advantage.
"And you chose me?" Lin Sanjiu retorted.
"Currently, the only three people I like are you, Duck Down, and Doctor Chen. I've interacted with Doctor Chen before, so logically speaking, he's the most suitable." Jiang Tian didn't seem to want to hide anything. "However, Doctor Chen is kind to everyone. I'm afraid that he's too soft-hearted and unreliable. As for Duck Down … She doesn't seem confident, so it's hard to trust her. An ally like her won't be of much help."
It had only been 20 minutes since the start of the game. They hadn't even figured out who was in the first scenario, yet Jiang Tian had already decided to find her as an ally. It seemed a little too early. However, when Lin Sanjiu thought about it, so what if it was too early?
If Lin Sanjiu analyzed it carefully, Jiang Tian's words contained a lot of information. However, she didn't reveal any of her plans or any key information. If they really formed an alliance at the start of the game, they would gain an unexpected advantage.
"Think about it," Jiang Tian said. "I know you can't trust me completely right from the start."
Lin Sanjiu was about to speak when she saw a figure walking towards her from the corner of her eye. She turned her head instinctively. It was Henna and Roab. Both of them were leaning against the hotel's front desk, chatting while eating the cake in their hands. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what they were talking about, but they walked towards the entrance of the hotel together. Perhaps they wanted to look outside, but they happened to pass by the reception area in the lobby.
However, what really caught her attention was the hotel's front desk.
Once the two of them walked away, Lin Sanjiu, who had been searching everywhere for Duck Down, immediately crawled out from behind the front desk. She slid into the dining room at the back. No one noticed that she had been hiding behind the front desk and listening to the conversation.
Jiang Tian followed her gaze and turned her head, but she missed Duck Down.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I thought they wanted to go out," Lin Sanjiu gestured to Henna and Roab. "I will think about it … It's best if we don't talk alone anymore. If we talk too often, we might attract unwanted attention."
Jiang Tian couldn't help smiling. That sentence meant that Lin Sanjiu had the intention to form an alliance. That was why she had to think about avoiding attention. She stood up slowly and asked, "What's your name?"
"Lin Sanjiu."
However, it was useless even if she told her name.
"I will still call you Hairy Girl," Jiang Tian said, "After all, we have to keep our distance."
Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything for a long time as she watched Hairy Girl leave the reception area and blend into the crowd in the dining room. Jiang Tian's words made sense. Forming an alliance was indeed a good strategy. However, there was one thing that Lin Sanjiu had to be clear about.
There was only a 1/13 chance that this scenario belonged to Jiang Tian. However, that didn't mean that she couldn't do anything when she wasn't in her home turf.
"It's better for people to work together than to fight alone." Was this Jiang Tian's message?
"I like this kind of plot. It's fun to write it myself, with three objectives in one sentence, but I don't know how effective it will be … Sigh, it's not the first time I'm high on myself."
"Recently, I read one. It's a story that appeals to me, but the writing style is annoying. I hate this kind of writing style that is very popular in English suspense novels. Maybe it's to create an atmosphere. Every sentence is filled with fear, fear, and pain. Every page is filled with scares." "It's too much. The seasoning salt is probably used as the main course." Most of the female protagonists who wrote this way felt even worse. "Please be stronger!"
