One hour later,
Tang Mo gently closed the door. He turned his head and found that the other six people were already waiting in the hall.
Tang Mo quietly walked to Fu Wenduo's side. There was no furniture in the central hall.
There was only a clock suspended in the air.
However, everyone's room was fully furnished. It wasn't known who took out the chairs in the room.
Only the chair next to Fu Wenduo was empty.
Tang Mo walked over and sat down.
The seven chairs sat in a circle.
It was very ingenious.
The three returnees sat together while Tang Mo's group of four sat together.
The game had just begun.
The players had already formed their own groups.
The seven people looked at each other in silence.
After a moment,
The young man among the returnees opened his mouth. "Since we have entered the same game, we are teammates. This game isn't a PK game. It should be easier to pass if we cooperate with each other. Let me introduce myself. I am Du De.
I am a returnee. "He pointed to the golden number on his neck.
The time leaderboard no longer changed but the number on their neck wouldn't disappear. Unless they were the 'pigs' of the returnees, anyone would know that the other person was a returnee.
The returnees introduced themselves and Tang Mo said, "Tang Mo."
The female returnee said, "Xing Siqi."
Chen Shanshan said, "Chen Shanshan."
… …
All seven of them introduced themselves. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't hide their names because their names were exposed by the black tower at the beginning. They were facing the returnees.
Not Jack. The returnees had experienced many games.
There was no point in hiding.
The other party must have known their identities. However, when they heard Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's names,
The expressions of the three returnees changed.
In Eve's Game, eliminating Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo could directly open the reward and gain the respect of the underground people and the circus leader. This included but wasn't limited to the game method.
The young man took a deep breath and said, "Alright, now that everyone knows each other, I'll go first. I'm at the top of the food chain. No one has any questions, right?" There was a number "4" printed on his face. He was the highest level player there. "This game is actually very simple. As Wang Xiaotian said, violence is prohibited and there is no need for violence. As long as we find our own complete food chain, we can win. "
Very simple?
"How do you find the food chain?"
The young man stared warily at Tang Mo. "Each of us got a clue. Based on the clues, I think we all have a guess about the food chain."
Tang Mo didn't have a guess about the food chain. His words weren't a clue at all. He pretended not to know anything and said indifferently, "No one can eat you, so what do you want to do?"
The young man: "The best way to verify if the next level belongs to your food chain is to eat it. My clue has already told me what my next level is, so I can eat the opponent's ball. "
"Are you sure you know what your next level is?"
A weak female voice was heard and everyone turned to look at Chen Shanshan.
The young man didn't notice Chen Shanshan at all and was wary of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. Seeing this ordinary-looking little girl, he said indifferently, "I'm 100% sure who my next level is."
"100% sure …" Chen Shanshan's voice was calm. "Do you know what the food chain is?"
The young man didn't understand the meaning of Chen Shanshan's words. "Of course I know. It is a food chain. The big fish eats the small fish and the small fish eats the shrimp."
Chen Shanshan said, "If you eat the wrong object, you will die from food poisoning. The black tower and Cinderella didn't explain what would happen to the wrong object but there is no doubt that you will die if you eat the wrong object. Everyone's clues can't be revealed to others, but I've already seen my clue. I'm pretty sure that I can't find my food chain through this simple clue. I can't even confirm who's next level is, and whether I'm a level higher or not. The game just started and the clues given by the black tower shouldn't be so simple for you to find your next level. "
The young man's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean?"
Fu Wensheng whispered, "It means that you are stupid. Sister Shanshan can't find the food chain through the clues. How can you find it? "
The child's voice was very small and only Fu Wenduo could hear it. Fu Wenduo glanced at his brother and Fu Wensheng immediately closed his mouth. He sat obediently and didn't dare speak.
Chen Shanshan said, "I mean, there is a problem with your certain answer. Do you really know what the food chain is? "
The young man's expression was a bit ugly as he was refuted by such a small child. He was about to say, "How come I don't know?" when he saw Chen Shanshan take out a small book from behind her. The cover of the book was a photo of Wang Xiaotian. Cinderella was smiling sweetly at the camera. It was obvious that the little girl had taken this book directly from the room.
Chen Shanshan opened the book and said, "A food chain is composed of at least two levels, producers and consumers. In other words, A → B, this is a complete food chain. There are seven of us and there are four numbers on the ball. If the seven people are classified according to A, B, C, D, then it is A1, A2, B1, B2 … and finally, you, you are the only D. "
The three returnees looked at the contents of the book and looked up at Chen Shanshan with amazement.
How did this ordinary-looking little girl manage to draw such a complicated picture in just an hour's time?
For a time, the three returnees didn't dare underestimate Chen Shanshan and stared at her cautiously.
Chen Shanshan didn't seem to notice and continued, "There is no doubt that you are the highest level D. The first rule of the game is that the number on each person's ball is determined by the other person's highest food chain level. Thus, me and that … "Chen Shanshan paused and looked at the young man." Between me and Liao Feng, there must be someone below you. However, this doesn't mean you aren't in the other food chains. "
Tang Mo had already thought of this problem but among the three returnees, the young man and the middle-aged man's expressions changed. Fu Wensheng was also stunned.
Chen Shanshan said, "You are level D, but you might be in another food chain, the third level, level C. In this way, your next level is Fu Wenduo or Xing Siqi, such as Tang Mo → Fu Wenduo → you. You may also be the second level B in another food chain. Your next level is Tang Mo or Fu Wensheng, such as Tang Mo → you. It's even possible that the six of us are the next level after you, and you can eat each and every one of us. This is a food chain game but the food chain isn't single. It is a network. "
The young man's mouth opened and he understood Chen Shanshan's meaning. When he thought of the clue he had, his expression turned ugly. However, to his surprise, a calm female voice continued, "Let me give you an example. Your clue is' your subordinate is a woman '."
Du De raised his head and looked at Chen Shanshan with shock.
In the middle of the spacious room, the ordinary-looking little girl was sitting next to the clock. She didn't know when she started but she had been silently staring at Du De. She found that Du De was looking at her with astonishment and a rare smile flashed in his dark eyes. Chen Shanshan's lips curved and she finally said like a child, "I am just making an example. I haven't seen your clue and you didn't tell me."
Du De's heart beat very fast. He calmed his complex emotions and heard himself say calmly, "… I know."
Chen Shanshan smiled and continued, "This clue seems to tell you that I am your next level. It is because I am the only girl in the C level. But it does not tell you whether it is referring to the third or the second level by which it refers to the lower level. You may have two food chains. The first is Tang Mo → Fu Wenduo → Liao Feng → you. The second is Fu Wensheng → Xing Siqi → you. At this time, your next level isn't me but her. "The little girl pointed to the young woman." She is also your subordinate and a woman. This way, if you eat me, you will die of food poisoning. Now … are you sure you know who your subordinate is? "
Du De opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak but no sound came out.
Tang Mo quietly watched this scene, his lips slightly curved.
The young woman watched for a long time before saying, "We all understand what you mean. I also thought of this. The number on a person's ball doesn't mean that they only belong to this level. Players above level three may have other levels of identity. I can't see how to clear this game at present but there is no doubt that the clue in the ball is the key. "
The middle-aged man said, "The black tower doesn't allow us to tell the clues in the ball to others. Others can't know and the accuser and the accused will be obliterated."
The young woman glanced at him. "I can't say the clue in the ball but I can reveal something else. I will go first. My clue tells me that the probability of my next level being this little boy is very high. "
Fu Wenduo's low voice was heard. "Is this a secondary inference?"
The young woman didn't deny it.
Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow. "My next level is Tang Mo." After a moment, he added, "The probability is very high."
The middle-aged man honestly said, "I am the third level. According to what you just said, the four people below are likely to be my subordinates. Thus, I can't determine who my subordinate is."
Chen Shanshan said, "It doesn't make any sense to say the result of my clue."
The young man didn't speak.
Tang Mo directly said, "My clue also doesn't make any sense."
The three returnees glanced at Tang Mo warily. It was clear that no one believed his words.
Finally, it was Fu Wensheng's turn.
The little boy stared firmly at Fu Wenduo, his fingers clenched and his lips a bit white. "I think my boss is Big Brother."
The next second, a female voice suddenly said, "You are lying! Your boss is me! " The young woman's eyes brightened. Fu Wensheng was startled by her voice and his lips trembled. He directly retorted, "No, my boss is Big Brother. This is what the clue tells me."
The young woman licked her lower lips and smiled. "Child, you don't know what my ability is?"
Tang Mo's heart turned cold.
The young woman laughed. "You're lying. I know about this. I'm a hundred percent sure. My clue doesn't accurately tell me that you are my subordinate. But it is obvious … your clue tells you that your boss is likely to be me. This probability might be more than 70%. This probability is worth a try … "
The young woman smiled and took out her small ball from her pocket. The big '2' on the small ball was tattooed on Fu Wensheng's eyes.
She was just about to open her mouth to say a second sentence when a cold dagger was pressed against her neck. The young woman was silent and her eyes turned to look at the man in black. She didn't see when Fu Wenduo walked from the opposite side to behind her. The dagger was firmly pressed against her throat. As long as he moved a little, her throat would be cut.
The young woman tried to be calm. "What are you doing?"
Chen Shanshan stood up. "Do you want to eat him?"
The young woman's expression changed. "I don't."
Chen Shanshan stated, "You want to do this."
"…"
After a long time, the young woman said angrily, "If I don't eat him, how can I be sure that he isn't my next level? Do you want me to directly say my food chain? As long as there is something wrong with my food chain, I will fail. Don't tell me you don't intend to eat the next level to determine whether it is true or false? Compared to many uncertain factors, there is only one uncertain factor. Of course, it has to be verified first. Otherwise, why would this game have the rule of 'eat'? I just want to eat his ball to verify the answer. I don't want to do anything to him. "Then she turned to Fu Wenduo." Do you want to kill me? The game prohibits violence and you will be directly obliterated by the black tower! "
There were few people who weren't afraid of death. Fu Wenduo seemed to find it interesting and gave a low laugh.
The young woman sneered. "If you aren't afraid of death, then come. The moment you use violence against me, the black tower will obliterate you. "
Tang Mo suddenly understood. "You think that before he is obliterated by the black tower … he can't kill you?"
The young woman's eyes moved but she didn't speak.
"There are at least 19 ways to kill you in an instant." The cold dagger was pressed against the woman's neck. Fu Wenduo's control of the distance was excellent. Every time the woman breathed, she felt that the dagger was about to cut her neck but it didn't. She held her breath nervously and heard the man whisper, "Do you want to try it?"
The young woman still had lingering fears after the dagger was pulled away. She watched as Fu Wenduo walked back to Tang Mo's side.
The moment Fu Wenduo pulled out the dagger, some things were already clear.
The four Earth players couldn't let the returnees eat them at will and the returnees wouldn't let the Earth players eat them.
They divided into two teams and were on guard against each other.
The situation suddenly froze. There were very few clues. With so few clues, even Chen Shanshan couldn't find the correct food chain. Fu Wenduo lowered his head and asked in Tang Mo's ear, "Is there no meaning?"
He asked what Tang Mo said before. His clues were meaningless.
Tang Mo couldn't tell Fu Wenduo the contents of his clues and he wasn't sure how far he could go. He pondered for a moment before saying, "God is very discriminatory. Because it is 3NT, he directly deducts the card."
Fu Wenduo was slightly stunned. He recovered and probably understood Tang Mo's meaning.
Fu Wenduo said, "We rarely play 3NT."
This time it was Tang Mo's turn to be stunned. He used bridge as an analogy and gave a simple explanation of the clues he got.
Tang Mo recalled. "Yes, we seem to have played 3NT three or four times … was it three times?"
Fu Wenduo said with certainty, "No, it was twice and you did it."
Tang Mo smiled helplessly.
In the rules of bridge, 3NT was generally the smallest contract. Even if they won the game, they would get fewer points if they played 3NT. Fu Wenduo was very ambitious and never played 3NT. He liked to play 4S with the most points and sometimes pursued a grand slam. Tang Mo sought a steady victory. The two of them often played cards together and were quite famous on a domestic bridge website. However, their points weren't particularly high because Fu Wenduo's playing style either earned a lot of points or lost a lot of points.
At that time, Tang Mo always felt that the person sitting on the other side of the screen was a very impulsive and arrogant guy. Thus, when he met Fu Wenduo and teamed up with him for a long time, he didn't find that Fu Wenduo was Victor.
Fu Wenduo wasn't such an ambitious person.
… Couldn't people be judged by their appearance?
Tang Mo quietly looked at Fu Wenduo. This man might really be ambitious.
… Was he ambitious? What was his ambition?
While Tang Mo recalled the scene of the two of them playing cards, Fu Wenduo was also thinking about some issues. After thinking for a moment, the two of them decided to put this matter aside for the time being. The players were clearly divided into two small teams and Tang Mo didn't avoid it. The four of them gathered together and roughly talked about their clues in a roundabout way.
Chen Shanshan was just about to speak when Fu Wensheng said, "Xiao Sheng, you don't have to say anything. We can probably guess what your clue is. Secondly, we can prevent you from accidentally saying too much. "
Fu Wensheng nodded obediently.
After the conversation, the clues for two of the seven players were very obvious. The young man thought that his next level was Chen Shanshan and it was likely that his clue was' the next level is a woman. ' Fu Wensheng's clue meant that his next level should be a young woman, 'Fu Wensheng → Xing Siqi.' Of course, he might also be in two food chains. There was also 'Fu Wensheng → Fu Wenduo.'
Chen Shanshan said, "Out of the seven players, four people in the first and second levels can determine their position. There are a total of nine orders. However, the three people in the third and fourth levels can't determine their position. Looking at the situation, apart from the female returnee … "The child quietly looked at Xing Siqi." The other two returnees aren't sure who is next to them. "
Tang Mo nodded. "Yes, based on the information we currently have, it is impossible to clear this game."
There was too little information and too many possible orders.
The food chain wasn't a single food chain. The seven people were divided into four levels, A, B, C, and D. The three people in the C, D, and D levels might have multiple positions. For example, the number 3 on Chen Shanshan's face didn't mean that she was only on the third level. She might be on the second level.
Tang Mo thought about it. "After the food chain forms a food web, it will be very complicated. What we need to do most now is to get clues about the other people. "
Fu Wensheng said, "But the black tower said that we aren't allowed to tell others our clues."
Tang Mo frowned.
This game shouldn't be like this. If this was the case, there was almost no way to clear the game. At that point, there was probably only one way to clear the game. But that method …
Tang Mo looked up and found that Fu Wenduo was looking at him. He turned his head again and met Chen Shanshan's eyes.
The three people were silent.
Tang Mo sighed softly and stood up while holding the small parasol. He was just about to get up when a dull bell was suddenly heard.
Om!
12 bells echoed in the room and the seven people immediately stood up vigilantly. The harsh sound of a carriage came from outside the door and Tang Mo looked at the clock in the middle of the room with astonishment. He didn't know when but the clock pointed to 12 o 'clock.
Chen Shanshan was shocked. "How can it be so fast?"
Yes, how could it be so fast? They were all people with a sense of time. Everyone understood what 12 o 'clock meant to Cinderella so Chen Shanshan paid attention to the time from the beginning. However, it hadn't been a few minutes but it was already 12 o 'clock in the blink of an eye.
Fu Wenduo's expression sank as he stared coldly at the huge door.
There was a creaking sound and the door slowly opened. A gorgeous pumpkin carriage slowly drove in and Tang Mo was ready. The door opened and a beautiful crystal shoe appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Tang Mo subconsciously sensed that something was wrong. Once the beautiful girl got out of the carriage, everyone was surprised.
Wang Xiaotian wore a beautiful blue dress and smiled. "Wow, I like your eyes right now. Did you think I would come to see you in ragged clothes? You have read too many fairy tales! I am the most popular female host in the Underground Kingdom, Wang Xiaotian! " Cinderella walked to the middle of the crowd and reached out to set the clock's hand to 8 o 'clock.
After doing all this, she glanced at the audience and smiled sweetly. "So you stinky humans, now you know your food chain? This is the first night and you still have two nights. Once I become a princess, I won't have time to play this childish game with you. You will fend for yourselves in the room. "
Chen Shanshan directly opened her mouth. "It's impossible to clear this game."
Wang Xiaotian's eyes widened. "What did you say?"
Chen Shanshan calmly replied, "I said that based on the clues we have so far, I can't clear this game unless I am lucky."
Wang Xiaotian was angry. "You human, you are stupid and blame my game! Of course my game can be cleared. The entire Underground Kingdom knows that I, Wang Xiaotian, never lie! "
Fu Wensheng whispered, "Who knows if you are lying or not."
Tang Mo suddenly asked, "How do we clear the game?"
Wang Xiaotian reflexively said, "Find the food chain you are in according to the clues and you can clear the game …" She suddenly covered her mouth and blinked. "Hey, what did I just say?"
Fu Wenduo explained, "We can only know our own clues and can't know other people's clues. It is impossible to clear the game. "
Wang Xiaotian righteously asked, "You are so unmotivated. Can't you try to pass Darwin's Test and get clues to other food chain positions?"
Tang Mo's eyes widened. "Darwin's Test?"
Wang Xiaotian smiled, revealing two small canines. "Oh, did I forget to tell you? Every night you can take Darwin's Test to improve your position in the food chain. The food chain has been fixed and won't change. However, the people in each position can change. If a mouse eats a tiger, he will become a tiger and the tiger will become a mouse. You will get first place in Darwin's Test. "Wang Xiaotian pointed to Tang Mo." You can evolve to the highest level and get his ball and the clues inside. Didn't I say it? Ah, I must have been too busy and forgot. "
Wang Xiaotian's gloating smile hinted that she hadn't forgotten about it. She just deliberately didn't say it to enjoy the surprised expressions of these humans.
The young woman asked, "What is Darwin's Test?"
Wang Xiaotian stuck out her tongue. "Are you sure you want to participate?"
The seven people nodded without hesitation.
The game had stopped. If they didn't participate in Darwin's Test, they wouldn't be able to get other clues and clear the game.
Wang Xiaotian smiled strangely as she was very excited. The familiar smile made Fu Wenduo's eyelids twitch. Then he saw Wang Xiaotian clap her hands and a huge camera suddenly fell from the ceiling. No one knew when it had been there. There were three more pops, and a dazzling spotlight shone on the seven players in the middle of the room.
Wang Xiaotian's right hand moved and a diamond microphone appeared in her hand. She jumped onto the roof of the pumpkin carriage. She no longer looked at the seven players and instead looked up at the huge camera.
"What are the nine unsolved mysteries of the Underground Kingdom?"
"Is the circus leader really bankrupt?"
"Is Eve the black tower monster is looking for a returnee or an Earth survivor?"
"Thump thump thump, everything is in the Happy Q&A! Hello everyone, I am your favourite gold medal host of the Kingdom Satellite TV, Wang Xiaotian. Today is the time to answer questions. In the 8,341 episode of the Happy Q&A, we have come to Cinderella's Food Chain Game. Let's see which lucky people have successfully entered our game today? "
Wang Xiaotian looked at the camera and smiled sweetly. "The Happy Q&A has a total of 12 questions. Those who answer correctly will get points and those who answer incorrectly won't get points. "
Wang Xiaotian pointed and the camera pointed at the seven players in the middle of the room.
Apart from Fu Wenduo, the other six people were dumbfounded. Tang Mo quickly recovered and narrowed his eyes. He saw a red answer question rising from the floor in front of each player. A total of seven questions were suspended side by side in front of the players.
Wang Xiaotian smiled. She sat on the roof of the pumpkin carriage and shook her legs. She happily said, "Today's program is a special outdoor program for the Happy Q&A program. I, Wang Xiaotian, am a gold medal host. Whenever there is a good thing, I will think of my lovely audience. I don't want to earn a salary from this program. Two of the seven players must be known by the audience in front of the TV. They are famous. As for who they are … "
"I'll keep you in suspense and not tell you."
Wang Xiaotian wanted to say more nonsense but she looked at the clock and said regretfully, "Time is limited. Then let's officially start ~"
Everything happened too suddenly. Wang Xiaotian inexplicably appeared, the camera suddenly fell from the sky and the Happy Q&A program they had never heard of. However, Wang Xiaotian didn't give them time to react. The players were still stunned when Wang Xiaotian opened her mouth. "Dang dang dang dang, please listen to the question! The first question, the underground … "
"Dang dang!"
Wang Xiaotian was startled. "So fast!" She looked up at Tang Mo with surprise.
Even Fu Wenduo didn't react. Tang Mo actually pressed the responder before Wang Xiaotian said the question.
Wang Xiaotian was also a bit confused. "Guest Tang Mo, I haven't said the question yet. Why did you press the responder? Do you know what question I'm going to ask? "
Tang Mo replied confidently, "I don't know."
Wang Xiaotian wondered, "Huh?"
Tang Mo asked, "You just said that there are points for answering correctly and no points for answering incorrectly. You didn't say that there is a punishment for answering incorrectly … Is there a punishment for answering incorrectly? "
Wang Xiaotian replied, "… No."
Tang Mo said lightly, "Then let's grab a question first."
The three returnees who just reacted, "…"
