Chapter 367 Card Rules and Rhetoric

Inside the hut, the wooden door creaked shut to block the cold wind outside. The fire in the fireplace lit up the room brighter and dissipated some of the chill.

Lin Yu pulled out the chair and sat down, looking at the other party.

The ghost-faced man shuffled the cards leisurely and asked, "What do you call it?"

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "You pulled me into a dream, but don't you know who I am?"

"I know your code name, but I would rather know...what do you want me to call you."

The ghost-faced man said calmly.

Lin Yu folded his hands on the table: "Then just press the code... What about you?"

The ghost-faced man smiled: "Just call me 'advisor', Mr. May May."

As he spoke, he turned over the golden cards one by one and spread them on the table.

There are no points on the cards, instead there are images of rock, scissors, and paper.

"Is it a guessing card game..."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.

but……

Because the total number of cards is ten, the numbers of rock, scissors, and paper are not balanced.

There are four rocks, four scissors and two paper on the scene.

Just regarding this quantitative difference, Lin Yu has already thought of countless game possibilities.

"If the cards are distributed equally, this means that each of us will have two rocks, two scissors and one piece of paper."

"In that case... the timing of the cloth will be very important - so according to the optimal solution of the game between the two parties, only the first scissors is a fixed high-profit strategy, and the rest still depends on luck. "

"But that's based on the rules being equal. This shouldn't be just a game of luck... there should be other rules."

Sure enough, the ghost-faced man spread the cards on the table and spoke.

"As you can see, this is a deck of 'guessing cards'..."

"Although I believe you don't know the rules of guessing, I still explain it."

"With these three types of cards, rock can beat scissors, scissors can beat paper, and paper can beat rock."

"At the beginning, we will draw three cards from each of these ten cards, and then have a duel. After the three cards are played, the person with the most wins will win the game."

"If there is a tie after the three cards are played, the cards will be reshuffled and two cards will be drawn. If there is a tie again, the cards will be shuffled again and two cards will be drawn - until someone takes the lead and wins again."

"And after every round, we will reshuffle the cards and draw three more cards."

"After each victory in a small round...the winning side can ask the losing side a question. The losing side can choose not to answer, but the answer must be truthful."

"The first person to win three rounds will be the final winner - the final winner can ask two additional questions to the losing side... These two questions and the bonus questions for winning the last round total three, and they cannot be refused to answer. ”

"How about it? It's very simple, right?"

After the ghost-faced man finished speaking, he put away the golden cards and began to shuffle them.

Lin Yu understood.

"Draw three... This seems to be more random."

Therefore, Lin Yu subconsciously asked.

"This shouldn't be all the rules, right?"

"Of course."

The ghost-faced man smiled and handed the golden card to Lin Yu.

"I've finished washing...you come and wash it."

"Just in case you don't believe me, let me have some time to fill in the rest of the rules."

Because there were ten cards and the thickness was there, Lin Yu couldn't use any fancy shuffling techniques and could only honestly cut the cards back and forth.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat?"

The ghost-faced man laughed: "To show off in front of me... I'm afraid even a 'magician' can't do it."

Lin Yu heard the "magician" in the opponent's mouth, and continued to shuffle the cards calmly: "I feel confident... Anyway, let's introduce the rules."

But Lin Yu knew very well in his heart that the "magician" the other party mentioned should specifically refer to Qian Huan of the 'Freedom Alliance'.

The other party knows Qian Huan and may have interacted with him before.

Is this to test yourself?

Lin Yu thought quickly.

The ghost-faced man who claimed to be a consultant took out ten more silver cards from his cloak.

"Okay, friends - these are 'auxiliary cards'."

As he spoke, the ghost-faced man opened the "auxiliary cards" one by one and spread them on the table.

Silver cards are divided into five types.

Two paintings show a pair of open eyes.

"The effect of this 'eye' is to check the two 'guessing cards' that have not been drawn in this round."

Two pictures show a left hand.

"The effect of this 'left hand' is to choose to draw another guessing card, then discard a guessing card in your hand and show it to your opponent."

Two pictures show a right hand.

"The effect of this 'right hand' is to choose yourself and your opponent to each draw a guessing card and discard it. The card discarded by your opponent must be shown to you, but the one you discarded does not need to be shown."

Two pictures depict a mouth.

"The effect of this 'mouth' is to make the opponent report the least number of guessing cards in his hand."

Two pictures show an ear.

"The effect of this 'ear' is to let your opponent tell you which guessing card he is going to play next."

After the ghost-faced consultant finished speaking, he also shuffled the silver cards.

"Everyone will get the initial three 'auxiliary cards', but... after someone wins each round, if the winning party refuses to answer the question asked by the winning party, the winning party can take away one 'auxiliary card'."

"But on the other hand, if the other party chooses to answer truthfully, the party who fails to answer the question can take away an 'auxiliary card'."

The ghost-faced man finished introducing the rules and looked at Lin Yu.

"Any more questions, guest?"

"have."

Lin Yu said immediately.

The Ghostfaced Man consultant's reaction was obviously delayed, and he obviously did not expect that Lin Yuzhen had a problem.

In his opinion, his rules are flawless and his explanations are clear and organized, and the player opposite also has a smart brain, so he shouldn't have any questions, right?

But the ghost-faced man still said seriously.

"Um, do you have any questions?"

"In the question-and-answer session for the winner of each round, can I ask questions that the other party can never answer?"

“For example, questions like ‘Please prove the Riemann Hypothesis’.”

The ghost-faced consultant was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "You are still the first person to think of this and ask..."

"Don't you want to ask me about my identity? What's more, I've already told you that I have 'clues' about the case that you want to know!"

Lin Yu smiled sheepishly: "I can investigate the case myself, and so can your identity."

The consultant looked Lin Yu up and down: "You are really...unprecedented."

"Thanks for the compliment, so can I ask?"

"Of course not," the consultant sighed. "Questions that the other party has no clue about are meaningless and need to be asked again."

Lin Yu nodded: "Then how to judge whether the other party has a clue? Is it up to you to judge?"

"No, it's up to the dream itself to judge."

The ghost-faced consultant finished speaking subconsciously, and then held his hands on the table.

"Wait a minute...are you trying to trick me?"

Lin Yu admitted it directly.

"Yes, at least I know now that although you created this dream, you are not its manipulator..."

He said calmly and knocked on the table.

"Okay, let the game begin."
