"Possibility is a very wonderful thing. As an aside, I have a hunch that it will become the currency of the new era." The red mist-like figure suddenly said. It seems to be a continuation of Yi Cha’s mental activities.
Inexperienced players can easily mistake him for mind-reading operations at first glance. Fortunately, I know what it feels like - similar to the brain going out to temporarily roam at the bottom of an oily ocean trench three thousand meters away.
"Really?" Icha said absently.
His brain is still there.
It should be that the lawyer at the end of the line just couldn't help but talk about it. It was probably his personal interest.
Yi Cha had no feeling about this, he believed that he had allocated enough attention to general equivalents recently.
"Ah. Sorry, sorry. I'm so sorry."
The terminal lawyer raised his voice and waved his hand insincerely. "I talked about unnecessary topics."
"Especially you shouldn't discuss it with me." Yi Cha said simply. "Let's take our eyes away from that cup of green tea quickly. Otherwise, your other careful preparations will be in vain."
He pointed to the deck of face-down metal cards. "If I guess correctly, that's the program you arranged for us to show off."
"Yes. I just want to keep things simple. No need for extra exercise, don't you think?"
The lawyer at the end smiled easily. "Then can I understand that you don't plan to leave. You are also ready to participate in the remaining links."
"It's just not planned now."
Yicha tapped his finger on the table. "The next judgment will be after I know these two things. First, what is the cup of 'black tea' for? Second, if the pointer reaches black, what requirements can you accept?"
He raised his index finger and pointed at the blurry red shadow opposite. "I heard that you can't get away with anyone. So I guess you can put forward very tempting conditions to make everyone come forward."
The two blurry eyes of the lawyer at the end point faced each other - it felt like they were making a "watch closely" in the atmosphere.
"Great. Let me answer your two questions first."
He clapped his hands slowly. "Number one. Black tea is 'plus'."
"Add more weight?"
"Before you start, you can decide whether you want the losing party to drink black tea."
"Before I start, I need to know what this cup of black tea is."
"No. You can't know. This is asymmetrical fairness." Dingmin's lawyer explained calmly. "I know what this cup of black tea is, and you can decide alone whether you want to let the loser drink it and 'add weight' to him. If I use the metaphor of cutting a cake..."
"You cut the cake in half and I pick one piece first. Both parties will think it's fair. Is that what you want to say?" Yi Cha interrupted him.
"And your cake may be bigger." The lawyer at the end said with a smile.
It's not quite the same thing.
Yi Cha originally wanted to point out several loopholes in this.
But if you think about it carefully, there is no need to argue with the lawyer at the end of the theory - the other party does not care whether the theory is correct or not, but only cares about the methods and results used.
"Okay." Icha said. "I choose 'plus'."
"Is this the decision? Based on your previous behavior, I thought you would rack your brains to spy on the contents of this cup of black tea. This decision is not very well thought out."
"Thoughtful thinking will only appear in two situations where there are too many conditions to analyze. Or thinking slowly. Now that there are neither, what is there to talk nonsense about?"
Yi Cha leaned back and made a "please" gesture. "Second question. Let's get started."
The terminal lawyer salamander laughed with satisfaction.
"It's very simple. If you can make the needle of this scale go to black, you can ask for anything you want within the scope of 'reasonable' and 'moral'."
"I don't understand." Yi Cha said. “Hopefully if we can get rid of that weird scope requirement, it will be much easier to understand.”
"Ah... I'm sorry to have to obey."
The lawyer at the end crossed his arms and exhaled a faint scarlet mist. "Fairness, reasonableness, morality. These are the basic rules here."
"Then it's not attractive." Yi Cha said coldly. "To be honest, I'm disappointed. Hearing you dwell on these uninteresting concepts and stuff like that. I can't imagine you offering this kind of condition to someone else."
For a moment, the lawyer at the end seemed to be thinking about his words.
"Fun is not the standard," he finally said.
"Fun is the only criterion. Watch your steps, let's take a step each." Yi Cha didn't get entangled and answered neatly. "I propose three conditions that are as close to what you call 'reasonable' and 'moral' as possible, and you choose."
"no!"
"Why?"
The lawyer at the end paused. "This...has never happened like this."
"What? Never!" Yi Cha spread his hands, pretending to be surprised. "It just happened. It was the cake-cutting analogy that I suggested - your literature teacher will be sad and you won't be able to connect? What's that word - asymmetrical fairness?"
"Uh-huh." said the lawyer at the end. "uh-huh."
"Uh-huh." He said again.
When he hummed for the fourth time, Yi Cha realized that he was subconsciously coping to delay thinking time.
"Don't let your guests worry." Yi Cha snapped his fingers. "I say, it's very tiring to come up with such a perfect solution. It's even more tiring to think of another one."
The lawyer at the end didn't move for a while.
Icha was able to take a look at Ke Qier - the angel's face was gray, the purifying aura had not yet been turned off, and he was languid on the chair.
"All right."
The red shadow opposite finally nodded.
"It must comply with the basic rules I mentioned." He emphasized.
"Also. Once you start, you can't stop." He added as if he remembered something. "Our next game will not end until the pointer of the scale reaches either end of the scale. Let me tell you in advance, if you lose, I won't ask for too much -"
His mood changed quickly, and his tone returned to a confident tone within a few seconds. "All I ask is that you sign an agreement with me. An agreement that is completely reasonable, moral, and fair."
Yi Cha glanced at the lawyer at the end.
He didn't have to ask at all what that agreement was.
In addition, judging from the duration of hesitation, the intensity of the rejection, and the character traits currently displayed, the lawyer at the end estimated that his probability of winning is roughly between to.
I'm not completely confident either.
"Okay. It's my turn." Yi Cha smiled.
"If I win - it will make the scale go black."
He held up three fingers. "You can choose between the following three conditions
Transfer the terminal office to me.
2. I will ask you a hundred questions, and you must answer each one honestly and accurately. I can use this right in batches at any time, or simultaneously. The time limit is unlimited.
3. Sign the agreement you mentioned - exactly the same, except that our places are reversed. "
"Choose one of the three above. I will consider you an acceptance."
Yi Cha pointed to the cup with green smoke on the table. "In that case, prepare to put away your green tea."
