There are always some people who care about eating rather than fighting. When Empress Huntian announced the results of the second round, the venue was silent for a moment, and some people stood up to express their disapproval.
All they got in exchange was a few more headless corpses on the stage.
Lu Ran looked at the number plate still lit up in his hand and knew that he had passed through danger again.
It should be the blessing of a "destined person".
But Lu Ran still felt a little scared, because although the competition was about luck, it was too simple and crude to randomly throw away half and eliminate half of the people.
Moreover, this is not the end, and he has not really advanced yet.
For some reason, Lu Ran seemed less confident this time than he did in Zai Zhong.
He looked at Xu Fu nervously, and found that Xu Fu also turned her head and looked at him.
Her expression was indescribable, like a child who was locked up at home and saw a group of peers playing wantonly outside through the door and window.
Helpless and longing.
Lu Ran waved his hand at her, and her face immediately turned cold, and she turned her face back.
On the stage, Empress Huntian appeared again. Different from the previous two times, Lu Ran found that this time there was a white moth on her head. Because Huntian had white hair, it was not very obvious.
"Everyone, at the end of the second round, those who are still qualified to participate in the Great Jiao are all lucky ones selected from ten thousand. However, there are still 317 contestants left, which is still too many. In the end, we only need Forty-eight people have entered the second round of re-selection, so we still need a third round of screening--" Empress Huntian held up a large handful of the red and blue fruits placed in the basin in front of her, and casually let them pass from her The fingertips rolled back into the basin.
She continued: "Fate is very interesting. If you are unlucky, bad luck will keep looking for you until you completely surrender. Generally speaking, we immortals call it the 'three strikes of fate', let alone you beginners. We, the true immortals, are unable to resist, so this third round is the last round, that is, the third blow of fate. Only those who withstand all three blows are the real children of destiny. Passed the 'luck' hurdle."
Lu Ran agreed very much with these words. If it weren't for the weird "fate" he had along the way, he would never believe the nonsense about "destined people".
"You lucky ones, please take out your number plate."
Empress Huntian paused for a moment, and the three hundred players remaining in the field all took out their respective number plates.
"The number plate has two sides. One side is the number, which represents you. The other side is your destiny, which will determine your stay."
Lu Ran turned over the number plate and saw that on the back of the number plate, there were two rivers intertwined with each other, which corresponded to the first round of screening.
"The third round of screening is also very simple, but you have to be lucky. You have all thrown copper coins before. Toss out copper coins and then bet on heads or tails. Our round is 'tossing coins' and gently throw out your number plate. , after it is settled, if it is the number side, it is safe, if it is the river side, it will be eliminated immediately. The whole process will continue for multiple rounds until forty-eight people are selected for re-examination."
Whether you can advance to the third round is actually decided by tossing a coin, which is really simple and crude.
Someone in the crowd raised their hands and asked: "Then what should we do if most of the people are eliminated after the first round and the remaining people are less than 48?"
He raised this question very well. This is indeed a possible situation. If so, will the quota need to be filled? Or will we enter the second game with insufficient quota?
"If there are less than forty-eight people left in the first round, it means that I am too unlucky, so everyone will be eliminated together. This is the end of this festival. I will kneel down in front of the teacher to apologize." Queen Mother Huntian said, Simple and direct, these speculators have nothing to say.
Only then did Lu Ran realize that from beginning to end, Empress Huntian was the dealer who never left the table.
"If there is no doubt, the first round will begin now. Based on my gestures, the time limit is sixty breaths. Oh, by the way, everyone, please remember, the teacher respects him, and he doesn't like cheaters very much."
Before she finished speaking, Empress Huntian waved her hand, and the first round of "tossing copper coins" officially began.
A confident person will have already thrown out the number card in his hand at the first moment when the big hand falls.
Then there were a few scattered shouts of celebration or regret.
Those who have no confidence must be forced to throw out their number plates at the last moment.
In exchange, it was a sigh or secret ecstasy.
Lu Ran hesitated for only a moment, thinking that raising his head or shrinking his head would be a blow, and decisively threw out the number plate.
In fact, he was very confident, but when he really had to open his palm to confirm the front and back, he really felt frightened. Maybe it was because of the pill, his chest felt a little hot, and his whole body felt a little hot.
This round is all about numbers.
"In the first round, one hundred and eighty-six people faced off and advanced. One hundred and thirty-one people were eliminated. Two players cheated."
Following the announcement, two headless corpses appeared in the contestants' area.
"The second round begins now. The rules are the same as above, and the time limit is still sixty breaths."
As soon as Empress Huntian's hand fell, countless illuminated number plates fluttered in front of Lu Ran's eyes.
This time he hesitated longer, thinking about how high the probability of throwing out numbers twice in a row would be if he was not a "destined person."
Those who are destined will naturally pass the second round smoothly.
In this round, there were one hundred and eighty-six people, but there were still one hundred and thirty-five people left, and no one cheated.
Empress Huntian raised her hand for the third time.
One hundred and thirty-five people, this time there are still ninety-five people left.
Lu Ran was even more hesitant this time. The probability of flipping heads three times in a row, even if he had extra blessings, still felt a bit too illusory.
Fortunately, it was still the digital side and I passed the test again.
The fourth time, Lu Ran almost stuck on the last twenty breaths and threw out the number. Although this time it was still a number side, he no longer thought that he could throw the number side five times in a row.
But due to such almost impossible luck, at the end of this round, there were actually fifty-four people left.
In other words, there were fifty-four people who had thrown out numbers four times in a row. This impossible possibility made Lu Ran feel scared.
However, Empress Huntian raised her hand for the fifth time.
As a result, three types were left.
The first type, fifty-four people, if there are still more than forty-eight people throwing out numbers, the next round will continue.
In the second type, there are fifty-four people. If there are less than forty-eight people who throw out the numbers, the Huntian Empress will be defeated, all the contestants will be eliminated, and the festival will end.
The third type, if exactly forty-eight people throw out the numbers, the selection is over and the Empress Huantian has completed her mission.
Lu Ran thinks the first two are possible, and they can still be explained by luck.
But in this third type, there is absolutely no such coincidence. The person who throws out the numbers five times in a row is no longer a lucky person. He is simply possessed by the God of Luck. And such a person must be impartial and consistent. Forty-eight.
no way.
Absolutely not possible.
Lu Ran pinched his "444" number plate in fear. His hands began to tremble slightly. He didn't even think that he could throw out the numbers for the fifth time.
No matter how predestined the person is, I'm afraid they won't be able to do this.
