"Both of you answered correctly, so let's do it again." The cheongsam girl sighed with emotion at Li Xiang's good luck. It was already very good that he could guess correctly once with a one-third chance.
Unfortunately, Rick had a mechanical prosthetic limb. His unique advantage made him invincible in the Mechanical Magic Box competition.
"You can also choose to withdraw now. It's not against the competition rules." The cheongsam girl kindly reminded him again. Once there was a tie in the competition, one side could withdraw. It was not against the rules. This way, Li Xiang would lose 100 points at most.
Rick's expression became more and more ugly. He was about to say something to provoke Li Xiang, but he did not expect Li Xiang to directly reject the cheongsam girl's good intentions.
"It's okay. I think a bet of 1,000 points is a little too stingy." Li Xiang glanced at the floating data on the screen. Rick was a fat sheep with nearly 13,000 points. He did not want to let it go so easily.
1,000 points was too stingy?!
"Has this brat gone crazy thinking about points? He only has a total of 6,000 points, and he thinks the bet is too small? "
Rick was stunned. He did not quite understand the meaning of Li Xiang's words, but his instincts told him that things were a little strange.
"5,000 points. I want to bet 5,000 points with you. How about it?" Li Xiang stretched out five slender fingers. As soon as he finished speaking, even the cheongsam girl was shocked by him!
5,000 points was not a small number! The basic points from the lower level to the 11th level were 5,000. Who knew how many people had spent a lot of effort to reach the 11th level, but he wanted to bet 5,000 points! This was extremely rare in the first 20 levels.
"5,000 points?! Are you sure? Or do you want to bet with me on the Mechanical Magic Box? " Rick was still a little worried, but when he heard that he actually wanted to bet 5,000 points, his emotions that had just fallen silent were instantly ignited.
He already had nearly 13,000 points. With the addition of 5,000 points, he would soon have 20,000 points. With 20,000 points, he would be able to break through the restrictions of the 20th floor and go to the higher floors to earn points!
Rick had chosen to hunt rookies on the 11th level in order to steadily increase his points. There were many crazy gamblers on the upper levels, and he could not afford to gamble. However, it was also because of this that it was very difficult to swindle a thousand points in a bet. It was not easy for a hothead to appear in front of him, so he would definitely not let him go.
"Let's bet on the Mechanical Box." Li Xiang smiled and looked at the mechanical prosthetic arm that was exposed to the air. He casually tapped a few times on the screen, and the number between the two of them instantly changed from 1000 to 5000!
"Amazing. He only saw me use it once, and he already learned how to use the light screen. No wonder a newcomer like him could obtain the title of Sky Arena." The cheongsam girl secretly muttered in her heart. Back then, in order to learn the various operations of this arena, she had trained hard for several months.
"Good! You're not allowed to go back on your words. Rick rubbed his palms in excitement. In fact, he was not always invincible when it came to the Mechanical Box, but could this punk see through his weakness?
"I want to add a small condition. How about it?" Li Xiang suddenly said before the cheongsam girl fiddled with the Mechanical Box.
"What condition?" Rick asked curiously. "Something that's too much won't do."
"It's not too much. Since we have already bet 5,000 points, both of us are bound to win. Why don't we just bet until there's a victor?" Li Xiang sat calmly in his seat. When this was said, there was another uproar below.
From his tone, it sounded as though he was as confident as Rick in being invincible.
Could it be that he also had a mechanical prosthetic arm? Rick's eyes flickered as he carefully observed Li Xiang's hands. He did not find any traces of a mechanical device. Then, what was he relying on?
Rick, who hunted rookies all year round, was always able to stand undefeated because he was cautious enough. He never treated rookies as fools. He repeatedly observed Li Xiang, but he could not find the source of his confidence.
Not to mention him, no one present could guess Li Xiang's thoughts.
In a corner far away, the beautiful mechanical girl with the mark of Wessex was calmly drinking coffee. When Li Xiang proposed the condition, her eyes flashed with a trace of light, and her gaze was firmly locked on him.
"Miss, today's activity time is almost up." A man in black standing beside the beautiful girl whispered in her ear.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then a clear and moving voice softly sounded. "I want to watch a little longer."
"Yes." The man in black bowed and retreated behind her.
Arena.
Rick carefully observed for a while and finally found Li Xiang's "flaw". This kid's acting skills were really good. He looked like he had a decent appearance, but he still noticed the trace of panic that flashed through his eyes.
If he wasn't good at observation and cautious enough, he would have missed this small change in expression.
This kid didn't have any trump cards!
He was purely a gambler who wanted to gain something without risking anything.
"Okay, I promise you." Rick nodded and pressed his fingerprint on the light screen.
For the first time, a 5,000-point bet appeared on the 11th floor. The two sides of the competition were the rookie killer Rick and an unknown rookie. This arena immediately attracted a lot of spectators.
The cheongsam girl nodded slightly at the two and placed the three magic boxes back on the table.
It was still almost the same voice.
No one present could tell if it was real or fake.
Li Xiang was no exception. His mechanical hearing wasn't at that level yet, so he continued to use his X-ray vision to observe the three magic boxes.
As soon as the time was up, the cheongsam girl immediately flipped the three magic boxes. This time, her technique was more skillful and harder to recognize than before.
Li Xiang didn't use his ability to test himself every time before using his ability to confirm the answer. For Rick, this was just a bet to gain points, but for him, it was used to train his mechanical hearing.
He wrote down the answer first, and then Rick went up to test it with the mechanical prosthesis.
Rick's shameless behavior made many competitors despise him. They were all mechanical enthusiasts and despised this kind of opportunistic behavior the most. However, the arena didn't say that this was cheating, so they couldn't do anything about it.
They only hoped that Li Xiang would wake up and not lose all his points.
"The third one."
"The third one."
Their answers were the same again.
Rick's expression didn't look too good. He was bitten twice again, but how did this kid guess it right again!
"The answer … is correct." The cheongsam girl looked at Li Xiang with a complicated expression. It was the second time. Did he really have this ability?
Compared to admitting that Li Xiang had such a high level of mechanical skill, most people were more inclined to think that he was lucky.
"Do you want to quit?" The cheongsam girl asked tentatively. It was the second time. No matter how stupid Li Xiang was, he should have discovered the problem with Rick's mechanical prosthesis.
"Continue." Li Xiang shook his head.
The cheongsam girl sighed and decided not to persuade him anymore.
Everyone held their breaths and continued to watch the arena.
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time …
When Li Xiang guessed correctly again and again, everyone started to lose their composure!
If this was luck, then his luck was too heaven-defying.
The most speechless one was Rick. Six times, a total of six times! He didn't even believe that it was luck.
Moreover, four out of the six times, it was the third one. He looked up at the cheongsam girl and felt that this girl was also targeting him.
He touched the mechanical prosthesis and estimated the number of times left.
That's right, his mechanical prosthesis was not invincible and would be eroded by venom.
If he lost the help of the mechanical prosthesis, he would completely lose the means to win. After all, it was impossible for him to use his normal other hand to test the things in the magic box.
He hadn't thought about this before. It was purely because he felt that it was impossible for there to be so many draws, but now it really did happen.
As for how long the mechanical prosthesis could last, he didn't know in his heart how long it could last.
"Damaged mechanical right hand. Durability: 12%. Every test will wear out 2% to 5%. If he's fast, he'll lose three more times. If he's slow, he'll lose seven times. " Li Xiang's eyes wouldn't lie to him. The mechanical prosthesis was also a mechanical device, and there was nothing to hide in his eyes.
This was also why he dared to bet 5,000 points with Rick. When he first reached in, he observed the problem of the mechanical prosthesis's durability wear. Since there was wear, there was a limit to the number of times.
It was likely that he didn't know how many times he could last.
"Sister, please continue." Li Xiang smiled, his expression even more relaxed. The excitement from before was long gone from Rick's face. He could only bet that Li Xiang had guessed wrong before he ran out of durability.
The seventh time, the eighth time …
At this point, anyone with a discerning eye could see the problem.
No one would believe that Li Xiang didn't have any tricks up his sleeve. Rick had really kicked an iron plate this time, but they were more curious about the reason why Li Xiang could get it right every time.
Could it be that he really had superb mechanical skills?
Why would such a person come to the lower level? It could only be said that Rick was unlucky to meet him.
On the tenth time, Rick's mechanical prosthesis finally ran out of durability. His face was pale, and he could no longer reach into the magic box.
And he only tried the first magic box, which was a viper.
The second one, the third one, which one was it?
"Please announce the answer." The girl in the cheongsam sneered.
"The second one."
"The second one."
He guessed it right!
Rick subconsciously regarded Li Xiang as someone who couldn't be wrong. When he heard that he was also the second one, he was pleasantly surprised.
Li Xiang glanced at him and smiled without saying a word.
If he got it right this time, then what about the next time, and the time after that?
Now, Li Xiang should let him experience the feeling of knowing that the other party was in an invincible position and that he was bound to lose.
So far, the newcomers who lost to him had experienced this state of mind.
"Damn it, next time there's only a one-third chance! If this goes on, I'll lose. "Rick's head was covered in cold sweat, and the girl in the cheongsam had already started the eleventh magic box competition.
"Kid!" Rick suddenly interrupted the girl in the cheongsam and said coldly to Li Xiang, "I lost this time, how about I give you 1000 points? I'm from the Mechanical Church, you should know the consequences of provoking our people, right? "
