After a moment of pause, the young man continued speaking quickly:
"First, let's figure out the two keys to this mission."
"The key point to score points lies in the mutants and the number of people cast."
"100 points for mutants, 5 points for solo players."
"5*18*2, = 180 points! It seems that the one with the least reward is the biggest reward for this mission."
"This means that if both sides want to kill the other party first, they will not be able to increase the points."
"the reason is simple."
"If the mutants are found early and then drawn quickly, it will make it impossible to maximize the points."
Eyes flickering.
"Also, let's say Ender finds the mutant first."
"In fact, he can only let the system kill Lin An, and he won't get any points."
"Because once he wants to vote for Lin An, Lin An will inevitably vote for Ander, resulting in a tie and Lin An's death in the system."
"Of course, Ander thought in advance that Lin An would think of this, so he let Lin An take the advantage by voting first. The subtext was to once again ensure that he had no murderous intentions towards Lin An."
"As for Lin An, everyone knows that he has a huge need for points. Although he doesn't know the specific reason."
"Similarly, Lin An will also hope to increase his points as much as possible."
"Even if he finds Ender's mutant first, he will tacitly agree to continue to increase points instead of killing Ender."
"Killing the opponent has no benefit other than gaining fewer points."
"One in and one out, 360 points, who would be willing to give up?"
"For smart people like them, this kind of loss is something they never want to accept."
After taking a breath, Li Shouyi's eyes were a little downcast:
"Not only that."
"When Lin An questioned him for the second time, the subtext was that he had previewed the outcome. He asked Ander again how he could ensure that the two sides would not kill each other, and whether he had any hidden methods."
"After all, even if there is no gain from killing the opponent, the temptation is actually quite high. Because it will be a fight to the death soon."
"And Ander is very smart. He made no secret of his desire to win over Lin An. The third time he proved that he would definitely not destroy the points gain. He also hinted to Lin An that cooperation can be carried out in a death match. There is no need for him to kill Lin An now."
"Absolutely rational game."
"as well as..."
stunned.
The middle-aged man listened to Li Shouyi's analysis and subconsciously looked at Ander.
He didn't expect that there was so much thought hidden under a simple turn-taking vote.
Li Shouyi reluctantly smiled when he saw this:
"Uncle Wang, it's actually more than that. For example, Ender proposed to stop collecting points after three people, which is essentially reducing the risk. In addition, no mutants have been found so far."
"I wonder... is it possible that the two of them have known who the mutant is for a long time..."
The middle-aged man named Uncle Wang opened his mouth and looked at Li Shouyi's disappointed expression. After giving up his rebellion against Lin An, he couldn't help but chat privately to comfort him:
"It's okay. It's amazing that you can think of this."
"In our safe zone, you are recognized by everyone..."
Before he finished speaking, the young man rubbed the old pocket watch on his fingertips and smiled miserably:
"Uncle Wang, you are not me. You don't realize the gap between me, Lin An, and Ande."
"It seems like I've thought of this too, but actually..."
"It took me 11 minutes to figure it out and then deduce the approximate changes that would follow."
"Ender, it only took 1 second after hearing the mission... or even 0.1 seconds!"
"And Lin An, at the same time, pointed out the loopholes without thinking and forced Ender back!"
"Just in terms of thinking speed...the gap between me and them...is...600 times..."
His expression was stiff, and the middle-aged man was shocked. He suddenly understood why Li Shouyi acted so painfully.
"Okay, Uncle Wang. Let's give up."
"If nothing else, this round of trials should end peacefully."
"I've thought about many possibilities, but Ender probably really wants to increase his score. As long as he doesn't seek death, we will be safe."
Putting away his pocket watch, a slight doubt flashed in the young man's eyes.
Even though he said that, he always felt that something was wrong.
It's not about logic, it's about a sixth sense.
....
Team Ender, private chat channel.
Undercurrents surged, and finally several awakened people present communicated privately with expressionless faces.
"There are still three rounds left, so the backhand can be launched."
"Well, don't show any abnormality."
The tone was a bit exclamatory. One of them lowered his head, forcing himself not to look at Lin An:
"They cannot understand Lord Ender's terror..."
chuckled.
"I think that when Lin An died, he couldn't figure out how he died."
"Death? Not necessarily."
"Maybe Lord Ender will just ask him to hand over all his points and spare his life. After all, Lord Ender seems to be really interested in him."
"What are you interested in? Your Excellency is just psychological warfare. If you really want to say that and let him take your place, I will be the first to be unconvinced."
laugh.
"The moment Lin An accepted the plan, it proved that he, Lin An, was nothing more than that."
The companion on the side was a little helpless:
"Don't underestimate Lin An either."
"The fact that he can lead the team all the way proves that his strength, at least in terms of thinking and will, is much stronger than you and me."
"It can only be said that in the absence of information, no matter how smart a wise man is, it is impossible to deduce the truth out of thin air."
"So what? Didn't Mr. Ander and Lin An start the trial at the same time? If he didn't find it, it means that Lin An is weaker than Mr. Ander!"
"There is simply a gap in life levels between them..."
...
"Countdown 59...58..."
On the huge round table, only five people from each team were left.
This round, it was Lin An who shot first again.
"Lin An."
"It seems like the mutant might be between the two of us."
Ender spread his hands, a faint smile on his face.
"But don't worry, I will let you surrender to me first."
"Or, if you really have doubts, we can end the mission with the last three of us."
Sitting next to Lin An, Fiona looked at Ander silently, a little confused.
It must be said that Ender, who wears a silver crown and always maintains goodwill, is quite charming.
Every move shows sincerity.
So much so that many people in Lin An's team were a little impressed by such a gesture.
Compared to the cold Lin An, Ander, who is like a holy light, is easier to win the favor of everyone.
Nod slightly.
Under the mask, Lin An looked towards the opposite side with an indifferent expression.
Tapping his fingertips, this time, he didn't decide quickly who to shoot for.
Critical vote.
As the number of people becomes smaller and smaller, and the number of points that can be earned approaches the end, the game between the two parties will reach its maximum.
Whoever finds the mutant first will take the initiative.
If the mutant's priority was 1 during the initial voting, now it has been raised to 10!
"Lin An, do you want to vote for Ender first?"
"I think if there is a problem, it could only be him!"
"We haven't found any mutants yet. I always feel like something is wrong."
At the same time, Ron and Fiona chatted to him privately. One of them was always wary of Ender, and the other was a woman's intuition.
And on the opposite seat.
The last few people beside Ander couldn't help but stare nervously at Lin An with their peripheral vision.
Just vote, after you vote this time, everything will be over!
With absolute confidence, they believed that Lin An would never be able to find the mutants hidden among them.
"Countdown to 31 seconds..."
Tick-tick-tick.
The clock is ticking.
At 29 seconds, Lin An suddenly moved.
"vote."
"number 20."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the audience was stunned on the spot.
number 20? !
Where did the number 20 come from! ? Both teams have 19 people.
Lin An, throwing air! ?
In silence.
Ender, who had always kept a smile on his face, his expression froze, and his smile disappeared, like the blazing sun frozen in ice.
The awakened person next to him opened his mouth as if he had seen a ghost.
0.1 seconds later, the system prompt also sounded:
"5:0 (automatically give up), Awakener No. 20 is out."
"Mutants are out."
"100 points awarded."
