1377 This Is Living
Harry, who lives on the edge of the city, has seen things that most people have never seen since he was a child, such as cheating in card games.
Obviously everyone knows that cheating in those gang-held card games may face dire consequences, but some people still do it.
Because I lost my eyes.
When people finally lose, their mentality collapses, and they don’t care about anything anymore. Cheating becomes their only way to get back their money.
Harry knew that one of the simplest ways was to mark the sides and backs of the cards. This method... was a method that almost everyone in the area where he lived knew.
He didn't dare to make such obvious marks on the back of the cards, so he could only wet the sides with sweat.
If the next player also thinks that the yellow one is very important, it means that the color card is not a misleading card. It and other cards that can form a clue chain point to the most likely correct answer.
But if his next player also gives up the color card, it means that it has no value from the perspective of both parties.
The cards entered the hands of the next player smoothly. Harry glanced at the next player and saw a slight change in his expression. Then he placed the card between his two cards.
Harry looked at the card passed down from his family, gently took it into his hand, and was stunned again.
A clean white playing card with a circle of red lines and the words...
"Headlines!"
The more clues you have, the more confused you will be. This is normal, because some of them are specifically designed to mislead. After all, this is a competition. The competition is not about your academic qualifications, but about your basic logical thinking ability, and Understanding of life and society!
Those who can become monthly champions have a very unusual understanding of this society, so they have a greater advantage than those who failed in some respects!
But this card plunged Harry into deep confusion.
He didn't know whether this was a "real card" deliberately played by his boss, or a "misleading card" used to deceive him.
He has classified both types of cards.
After seeing "yellow", "green", "box", "supermarket", "medical", "project", "soil", "sunshine", and "particles", he saw the tenth card ——
"Headlines!"
That exclamation point made his brain feel like he had been hit with a baseball bat, and his whole brain was buzzing.
The host revealed the last public card, "honey".
The mean host didn't seem to be affected by the tense atmosphere at all, and he continued to maintain his exaggerated hosting style.
In fact, this just complemented the tense, lack of communication, and seemingly boring game.
Of course, for many people it is not boring. For example, in some luxuriously decorated rooms, people from the upper class are also discussing these things.
It's just that they have seen all the clues, so they are more intuitive than the players.
To ensure that the competition is fair, the finals are actually held in a special room.
The audience can see what's going on inside, but the people inside don't know what's outside.
This also makes many viewers think that these questions are very easy, and anyone can definitely answer them.
Even at the scene, there were people discussing their answers with the surrounding audience.
A: "It must be... medicine. I've seen it before. They don't know how to do such a simple question. I should take it instead!"
B: "So what are soil and sunlight?"
A: "You are making things difficult for me!"
…
At this time, Harry discovered that someone was already writing the answer board. In fact, they could continue to turn the cards one more time, which was also the last time.
But obviously some people couldn't wait. Harry had no clue at all. These clues kept flashing in his mind, but he could never find a result that he was sure was the answer!
At the same time, in a certain small room, the girl who lost to Harry in the first month of the competition and was finished after being resurrected was undergoing rounds of collisions.
She was working, and the thick makeup made her almost unrecognizable.
Because of this show, more people know her, which is actually not a good thing.
People tend to think of people who have been on TV as "stars," but obviously not everyone is kind to the way celebrities express themselves.
Some people came here because of her reputation. They went too far and seemed to enjoy hurting her and hurting her.
Others ask embarrassing questions -
Even working in this kind of industry is not intolerable to her, but she can't stand the questions raised by some customers. From this, you can imagine how cruel the questions raised by those customers are!
In the end, she could only change places and cover herself with heavy makeup.
There is a TV in the room. Now that she has some income, she can buy better clothes and get a better room, which will charge higher fees.
"This idiot...", she said suddenly.
The guest at the back was a little surprised, "Are you talking about me?"
The girl bit her lip and pointed at the TV, "I mean...them."
The guest was immediately interested and he also liked the show. Who could not like it?
Everyone participates in the artificial millionaire. Although the final millionaire only belongs to one person, the process gives people unparalleled enjoyment.
"You know the answer..."
The girl nodded, although her current posture was quite unsightly.
The man suddenly stopped, turned around, picked up the wallet on the bedside, took out five ten-dollar bills, and stuck them one by one on her sweat-wet body.
"If you're right..."
“These are the extra tips!”
He said with a little force, and the girl was almost knocked down on the bed. She gritted her teeth and said something...
At this time, Harry on the TV had given up. He randomly wrote something that he thought was similar and prepared to hand it in.
At this moment, he was very disappointed with himself. He thought he was ready, but he found that the ideal was so beautiful that he ignored the distance between himself and the ideal.
If this happens in every subsequent round, he can't guarantee how many of his answers will be correct.
The silent responses from others made him feel heavy pressure. He didn't know what touched which nerve. Just when the host asked him "Are you thinking about it anymore?", he suddenly withdrew his answer board.
Yes Yes!
He knows!
All the known clues in my mind were touched by the past scene at this moment, and began to be spliced together naturally.
There was an epidemic among children in the Commonwealth more than ten years ago. It is said that many people died at that time, and many others were permanently disabled as a result.
Medical institutions soon developed a targeted vaccine. Considering that more people could be immunized against the disease, with the intervention of the federal government, the vaccine was made into candy tablets!
Its packaging has a tree, a sun, and several children holding hands standing on the grass!
The candy pieces inside come in many colors, green, yellow, red...
The epidemic and its vaccine have been reported on the headlines more than once, and it is also the first granular drug approved by the Drug Administration Committee and sold in supermarkets!
The thing is, it's sweet!
This was probably one of the few times when Harry tasted sweet things when he was a child, so that until this moment, he could not forget that sweet taste that could sweeten his heart!
He wrote the name of the medicine on the answer board and handed it over. At this time, his face was full of confidence.
The host looked at the answer board and was a little surprised, "Wow, three people answered it correctly. It seems that the question is too simple, or you are too smart?"
He smiled as he showed the camera four answer boards and only one person got the answer wrong.
Harry was stunned for a moment. He thought he might be the only one who answered correctly, but in the end, he was only one of three people.
This means that the other two people who answered correctly may have more critical clues.
He has a newer feeling about the gameplay and in-depth gameplay of this game.
If you can't get the key clues, you will mislead your next buyer. At least you can influence one person's choice.
At the same time, he also realized the importance of "cheating". If he could cheat from the beginning, maybe he could discover some clues earlier.
But no matter what, at least he won this round. He breathed a sigh of relief and hypocritically said "congratulations" to other winning teammates, while also comforting the only player who failed.
He wasn't so hypocritical before, but since he joined this show, since he wanted to get the one million, he has become hypocritical, and he didn't even realize it.
After adjusting the points for them, the host placed a basket of sealed poker cards on the table. "There are a total of forty-nine packs of decks in here. Including the ones we used just now, there are fifty packs."
"Starting from the only person we answered incorrectly, we blindly selected our questions and continued to change players in a clockwise manner."
"We will conduct at least twelve rounds in total and no more than twenty-four rounds at most."
"Now is the second round. The turn card pattern has changed from counterclockwise to clockwise..."
The host looked at the guy who answered the wrong question and said, "You can pick one..."
"Before I tore it open, I actually didn't know what was inside. I'm just as curious as you are!"
The failed contestant flipped over and over, and found that every set was exactly the same. After flipping through a few times, he randomly selected one of the sets and handed it to the host.
The host smiled and pointed at the camera, "Let's take a break and we'll be back later!"
Yes, it's commercial break and Severella's company logo appears on the TV screen, and she paid a fortune.
At this time, in the small hotel, the girl was lying on the bed. She knelt for a long time and her legs were a little numb. The guest just now had left.
She stared at the extra fifty yuan in her hand in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
The commercial on TV was almost over, and the highlight of the one million banknotes flying in the glass box reflected the girl's face...
