The list is actually quite detailed, including winning streaks, cumulative numbers, and the number of enemies killed. The big list is nested within the small list. Wang Xiaodie said before that there is no problem with this stuff.

Every list is worth competing for. For example, who is the strongest in melee combat, the best shooter, the strongest mage, and who is the most technologically advanced in combat power are all worthy of competition. Of course, the final gladiator arena rankings still depend more on the number of wins.

No matter how strong it is on paper, winning is the first priority.

In comparison, the puzzle space on the poker player's side is similar. There are puzzle solving speed, number of puzzles solved, completion ratio and so on. There are a bunch of small lists, and then there is a general list.

Wu Hui and Ren Yin are all ranked in the top three on the overall list.

At present, the whole team is concentrated on one project to help each other to win the rankings, or everyone is dispersed to perform their own specialties. It has not been decided which one is better. Each team has its own strategy.

Exploring a different world, obviously designed by the playwright, seems to be the most suitable for collaboration. Orb Spider led his team to develop very well in this event, and all of them entered the top twenty.

According to the rules, settlement will be done every six hours, there will be a certain rest period after settlement, and settlement will be done three times a day. It has been three hours now.

More than halfway done.

While Wu Hui was eating and resting after solving a puzzle, he watched the twins' live broadcast.

Li Xiaoyue and Li Xiaojing are exploring a time together. This world is shrouded in fog, and monsters will attack you in the darkness. There are also local indigenous people who are fighting against certain monsters called the followers of the evil god.

The two of them joined an organization called the Human Defense Line and took the lead in dealing with those monsters. Li Xiaojing always felt that these things looked familiar.

Well...Wu Hui didn't look at it for too long and switched to another person. Su Xi and Huang Yunyun in Du Ziming's team were on the back of a giant jellyfish, looking at the clouds around them and not knowing what to do.

This jellyfish and the cloud are both seal beasts. Above both lie the last vestiges of human civilization.

It seems that the project of exploring another world is really exploring another world. Everyone is heading to a real world. It's just that some worlds are still fighting, and some worlds have perished.

In other words, the world is still fine, but humans have perished.

I wonder if I will see the world of nightmare chess pieces. Wu Hui was thoughtful, and then reinvested in his game.

There are many forms in the puzzle space. But it’s more about fighting against people.

The appearance here is a bit like a casino. Many items and robot dealers are waiting for players to come.

Wu Hui came to Holmes' table.

"This game is tarot card flipping," Holmes said. "I'm actually not very good at this kind of thing. And I thought you wouldn't come to me."

"If the second place wants to surpass the first place, it must really defeat the first place." Wu Hui pushed up his glasses: "Let's get started."

There is a clue on each tarot card, and the two people take turns turning over the cards. There are twenty-two main Tarot cards, and whether they are drawn out means positive or negative meanings is different.

The rules of this game are that if you turn over a positive card, you will get extra points. If it is 0, the fool will add 0, and if it is 21, the world will add 21, and you will receive a blessing at the same time. If you turn over a reversed card, you lose points and gain a curse.

Blessings are buffs with low strength but no negative effects, while curses are buffs with strong negative effects but strong effects. The overall strength of the blessing is from The Fool to the strongest, to the World to the weakest. Curse works the other way around.

There are hints on the cards, and two people who are familiar with tarot cards can guess which card the corresponding card is.

Randomly starts. Starting with Holmes.

He looked around and solved several puzzles in his mind. But which card should I choose?

This is a risk game. In terms of points alone, the fool's risk is zero, and the return is basically zero. And the risks and rewards of the world are all twenty-one.

If you ignore the effects of blessings and curses, this is a game where luck is more important than strategy.

"Have you ever invested? Mr. Glacier?" Holmes suddenly asked, holding his pipe in his mouth.

Wu Hui: “Not in the financial field.”

Because in Wu Hui's view, investment in the financial field is a complete gamble if he does not have special information channels and a large amount of funds. It's still an unfair gamble.

"Okay then." Holmes shrugged.

He originally wanted to talk about the risk and return in the investment field, and talk about the similarities between this game and investment. But Wu Hui looked like he didn't intend to talk more, so Holmes didn't say anything more.

The two were not familiar with each other, but they had read each other's information.

After thinking for a moment, Holmes made the best choice.

Let’s start with the big ones first.

Holmes chose to open first, the world.

It’s worth twenty-one points. If you turn it right, you’ll be a big step ahead. If you turn it wrong, you’ll be a lot behind.

Risk is directly proportional to return.

"Ah, it looks like your luck is not good." Holmes shook his head, acquiring the curse of uncontrollable thinking and association ability. The score becomes minus twenty-one. Apparently, he turned over a reversed card.

It's Wu Hui's turn. He turned over 20, the Judgment card, expressionlessly.

He was very lucky and was in the right position, and the score difference between the two widened to forty-one points. I don’t know how long it will take to catch up.

"Ah." Holmes held his pipe in his mouth: "This curse makes my mind very active, but it also makes me unable to control what I am thinking. In a sense..."

His eyes wandered among the tarot cards on the table.

While the two were competing, Du Ziming also joined the game and kept moving up the rankings. He was currently in the same game as Moriarty and Ren Yin, who were third and fourth.

The three of them were playing a game that was a bit like checkers. They are currently digging holes into each other. Confront each other, and attack each other from time to time.

"Hey, I'm going to play with Wu Hui later. It's better to leave Ren Yin to Baitao." Du Ziming also had a lot of fun playing against these two people, but it always made him feel that something was missing. This guy has always liked to torment Wu Hui.

Ren Yin pushed up his glasses: "I suggest we talk next time you win."

"Yes." Moriarty had a smile similar to Du Ziming's, but there was something deeper hidden under the smile.

"I take back what I just said." Du Ziming, who almost failed after being attacked by the two men, stretched: "It's fun to play with you. I don't mean to look down on you. It's just..."

"I still have a lot to talk to Wu Hui."

Du Ziming shrugged and suddenly changed the movements of several chess pieces in succession. At the same time, he came to Moriarty and took him away with a flaming spear.

Suddenly, his situation was greatly improved.

On the other side, in the arena. Wang Xiaodie and Meng Qianlin met in a duel. This is the second time the two have faced each other.

Just like last time, Meng Qianlin moved forward bravely, while Wang Xiaodie took a step back, transformed into a bee state, and danced with the insect swarm. Meng Qianlin waved her spear, and countless insect corpses shattered into pieces.
