Infinite Lucky Emperor - Chapter 42

[complex]

The audience was full of interest, as if watching a group of little ants struggling to grab a bite of candy, the audience sitting on countless candies felt self-conscious. There are countless high-level people and so on, and they have obtained great psychological satisfaction.

Fortunately, before the conflict between the South and West Theaters developed to attrition, the organizers intervened. It is a pity that the attrition is now, it is more valuable to keep them in the next level, so the eerie voice sounded again:

“Hee hee hee, you warriors are really full of energy, so let’s start the much-anticipated third level immediately, let’s play a Monopoly game together, please, as a friendly reminder, hurry up and actively play the game! Otherwise, the place you are staying will fall together, hee hee hee…”

Amidst the piercing laughter, above the stage of the theater, a huge white curtain fell from the sky, blocking the entrance of the passage.

The large curtain behind the surrounding stands slowly opened from the middle to the two sides. The iron plate that was originally used as a closed wall fell 90 degrees, and was laid flat from a vertical state, becoming a balcony without guardrails.

As the iron plate continued to fall, the players in the theater involuntarily stepped forward and were able to see the outside world.

I saw a vast lake outside the balcony. There was a central island in the middle of the lake. The balcony where the contestants were staying and the central island were connected by lotus leaf-shaped green round piers.

The most striking thing is that there are balconies and players in the other three resting areas in the other three directions of the lake. So far, the 54 players who survived the battle of kings finally met each other.

Although separated by a wide lake, only shaking figures can be seen in the distance, but this is not a big problem. As long as the players turn around, they can see that the clear close-up images of the players on the other balconies have appeared on the white curtain of the stage below. superior.

Xia Ruize swept past the three split screens on the big screen, sighed slightly, and put away the inexplicable loss.

According to Xiao Jinlong, he and the teammates he met on the mission are the same group of newcomers, and maybe there is a chance to meet them in the mission world.

Although he knew that the probability was very small, Xia Ruize had been looking forward to it in his heart. Unfortunately, all the contestants have appeared now, and this expectation will have to wait until the next mission world.

Just when the players were inexplicable, some colorful flyers suddenly scattered above the theater. Each player grabbed one and picked it up. It was the game rules of the third level of Monopoly.

The rules of the game, which were densely written on a piece of paper, made a few muscular men feel a headache and irritable, and could not wait to find a class representative to summarize this black tadpole concisely.

Xia Ruize read the rules of the game word for word. When he entered the mission world, the Lord God probably directly solved the problem of communication between the testers and the natives. Xia Ruize has never met in these two worlds, whether it is the ancient battlefield or the future technology. There have been cases of poor communication.

Not this time either. He recognized all the words on the flyer, but when they were connected, they contained a lot of malice.

The flyers are distributed according to the number of players. Each flyer has a number on the back. When the player picks up the flyer, they have a fixed number.

The way the so-called Monopoly game is played is even more complicated and malicious.

In the first round, the contestant who got the last number from the four theaters in the south, south, and northwest stood up and fought one by two randomly.

In the theater where the winner is located, the player who gets No. 1 can choose any one of 4 to 6 steps forward on the lotus pier. In the theater where the loser is located, player No. 1 can only choose any one of 1 to 3 steps forward. In the event of a tie between the players in charge of the fight, both sides get a bye.

In the second round, the second-to-last contestant in each theater is in charge of the battle and decides the number of steps that the No. 1 contestant in each theater will take.

This cycle continues, players take turns to fight from back to front according to the row number, until the No. 1 player reaches the center island or is out…

After that, the players of the battle continue to fight, starting from the next player from the front to the rear to move forward on the lotus pier.

Looking at the rules like this, wouldn’t the top ranked players take advantage of them?

In fact, there are already players who got the last number and scolded and tried to change the number with other players.

Xia Ruize looked at the number 5 in his hand, and then looked at the lotus piers, and realized that the situation was not as simple as it seemed.

Because what punishment or reward each lotus pier represents is completely unknown at present. It is completely dependent on the players with the highest number to explore the path. It is not a good thing for the number to be too high.

Moreover, after the previous players successfully landed on the central island, they will also enter the alternate battle sequence, and then they need to fight for their teammates.

That’s right, under such rules, with the theater as a unit, the players in each theater are forced to bundle together and become teammates.

Although it is unclear whether the teammates will pit each other or help each other, but even the sequence number of the battle is fixed, making the previous fight for the team leader position seems like a joke.

What’s the use of grabbing it? Nothing can be decided, no real effect at all.

I have to say that the organizers are really full of malice towards the players.

Xia Ruize, who was fighting for the lead with no real feeling at all, just mixing the water, naturally did not fluctuate in his heart, but the faces of Kloris and Ivanov were not so good-looking.

In particular, Cloris has gathered the four players who followed him for a small meeting.

Xia Ruize was much simpler, he just sincerely hoped that before it was his turn to go to the lotus pier, the heroic and reliable teammates in front had helped to find out the meaning behind all the lotus piers.

Without giving the contestants much time to communicate, a mobile board appeared on the balcony of each theater. The host’s gloomy voice was full of schadenfreude, and asked the last contestant of each theater number to board the mobile board.

Therefore, players No. 14 in the East Theater, No. 9 in the South Theater, No. 16 in the West Theater, and No. 15 in the North Theater had to stand up, step on the moving board, and wait to be randomly divided into groups to fight.

But is the battle in two groups really random?

of course not!

This is another way for the organizers to make money by opening up voting opportunities so that spectators outside the stadium can influence the games inside the stadium.

There are three possible groups for the four players. Before the official battle, the corresponding voting system will be opened.

The audience used real money to vote for the players they liked or hated, to decide whether the target player was against a weaker opponent or a stronger opponent.

Such an interactive session fully aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, and the organizers tried their best to make money while trying their best to toss the players.

But the audience just expects to like such an interactive session. After watching the performances of the players in the first two levels, the audience will have more or less “favorite” or hated players, who can personally control the fate of these people, how can they not be called people? Excited?

The uninformed players have just stepped on the mobile board, and the organizer’s voting system has already rolled quickly, and a large amount of money has poured into it, which has been replaced by the voting ratio of three different battle results.

In order to prolong this part of harvesting wealth, the organizer even shamelessly controlled the four moving boards to circle around the venue, so that the players in the four theaters could see the players who were about to participate in the battle at close range. , before sending the four moving boards to the central island.

At this time, the result of the match in the backstage of the organizer had come out, and the four players were sent to both sides of the island by two or two points. Among them, No. 16 of the West Theater and No. 14 of the East Theater, and No. 9 of the South Theater and No. 15 of the North Theater.

The area of the central island is very large, that is to say, the battle area provided to the players is also very large, which will not restrict the players’ performance at all.

The battles on the island will also be broadcast on the curtains of each theater in real time. Therefore, the huge curtain is divided into five pieces, showing the two battles and the other three theaters respectively.

With everything in place, the host excitedly announced the start of the first game.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the host’s gloomy voice fell, an unexpected situation occurred.

Player No. 16 from the West Theater directly announced his voluntary surrender, making a game over before it really started.

The choice of player No. 16 from the West Theater shocked the other players, and it also made the face of player No. 1 from the West Theater darken. Isn’t it because they had a fight before? As for deliberately dropping the line at this time of need for cooperation?

The failure of their theater means that he can only take 3 steps forward at most. If the number of lotus piers is the same, he needs to take one more round than others. Isn’t this obviously pitting him?

However, the actions of player No. 16 in the West Theater have inspired other players. If everyone can cooperate with each other in a harmonious and friendly manner, you win once and I win once, won’t you be able to pass the third level with minimal loss?

But is it really possible?

The deeply inspired North Theater player No. 15 also directly asked the opposite South Theater player No. 9 to surrender and give up resistance, but the South Theater player No. 9 was unwilling.

What he thought in his heart was that the number of players in the South Theater was already small. After the players in front arrived at the central island, he would need to rely on the players in front of him if he could reach the center smoothly. Now that he is lazy, his teammates will too. Laziness to pit him.

More importantly, there is a big pervert in their South Theater. In order to gather strength to fight the pervert, he can’t show an attitude of not cooperating with other teammates.

So, contestant No. 15 from the North Theater and No. 9 from the South Theater fought. You shoot a shot, I fire a shield to block a shot, and then I shoot you a shot too… The two are far away from each other through the barrier. After shooting several times, I found that other than consuming the energy of the protective shield and causing some obstacle losses, it did not pose a threat to the opponent’s players.

Laser guns are very energy-intensive. If you are depleted of energy by such a fruitless behavior, you will be very passive afterwards. No one wants to do such a stupid thing.

But facing the laser gun threat directly, no one was willing to take the risk to shorten the distance between the two sides, so the battle was stuck here. After three full minutes of inactivity, the host read out the countdown to the draw.

At this time, the two players on the field suddenly realized that if there was a tie, the two theaters would not be able to move forward in this round, and an opportunity was wasted.

In the tangle of protecting himself and fighting for the team, the countdown reached 0. The host announced that the round of South and North Theaters was a draw, and the No. 1 player from East and West Theaters could advance on the lotus pier.

The No. 1 contestant in the East Theater is the cool red-haired young man who mocked Cloris before. Because he can walk 6 steps, he has a smug smile on his face.

Xia Ruize thought for a while, and then took the initiative to remind him: “The corresponding punishment for each step is unknown, so be careful.”

“I know, I know, it’s wordy enough.”

The red-haired boy didn’t get close to anyone in the previous standing battle. He was unique and very character. Now he is also very impatient with Xia Ruize’s reminder. He replied casually, and immediately jumped onto the lotus pier. Quickly jumped 6 steps and stopped firmly on the 6th lotus pier.

But in the next second, the mutation suddenly occurred, and the lotus pier suddenly sank, as if it had disappeared, and the red-haired boy stepped on the air and accidentally fell into the water.

The onlookers exclaimed involuntarily.

But what was even more surprising was that the red-haired boy who fell into the water at first tried to climb onto another lotus pier, but within two seconds, he seemed to be dragged down by something under the water. When he had time to wave his hand and struggle twice, he disappeared.

There were ripples on the surface of the water, and it didn’t take long for it to completely return to calm, and it was completely impossible to see that it had just swallowed a life.

Everyone was silent, watching helplessly as the lotus pier that disappeared just now suddenly floated up from the water. It was clearly a fresh and vibrant green lotus pier, but the players looked at it as if they were looking at a terrifying mutant creature.

After hesitantly accepting the fact that No. 1 player from the East Theater has been eliminated, the players from the four theaters all turned their attention to the No. 1 player from the West Theater. As the loser, the West Theater needs to take any position from step 1 to step 3. Pick one to move forward.

But to be honest, the No. 1 contestant in the West Theater doesn’t want to choose any of them!

Under the urging of the host to gloat over the misfortune, the No. 1 contestant in the West Theater finally chose to move forward two steps.

When he stood still, the lotus pier under his feet also sank and disappeared. The No. 1 contestant in the West Theater was shocked, as were the onlookers. Could it be that every step is a trap?

Fortunately, unlike the No. 1 contestant in the East Theater, the lotus pier surfaced again this time. From the beginning to the end, the shoes of the No. 1 contestant in the West Theater did not touch the water, and a line of words was displayed in the center of the new lotus pier. :

[Reward: Take two steps forward. 】

Contestant No. 1 in the West Theater: ? ? ?

Can I not have this reward?

The answer was obviously no, and he had to take two more cautious steps forward.

This time, a line of words was written on the sinking and floating lotus pier:

[Punishment: Stop moving forward for one round. 】

Although it was a punishment, contestant No. 1 of the West Theater couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and turned around and shouted at contestant No. 15 of the West Theater, telling him to admit defeat in the next battle. Admit defeat to preserve strength.

At this point, the first round of Monopoly has finally ended. Whether it is a player who is forced to fight or a player who is watching the whole process, the little heart can’t help but mention it. The test of this game is too dark, there are traps everywhere, and it is impossible to prevent.

The players from the South Theater and the North Theater watched the end of the No. 1 player from the East and West Theaters. They were still complaining in their hearts that the last player in their team was not working or doing anything. Be able to watch others gain experience first.

After the first round was over, the second round started immediately. This time, the second-to-last player in each theater row was picked up by the moving board and played against each other.

After the audience’s vote, the competition group is the East Theater player No. 13 against the West Theater player No. 15, and the South Theater player No. 8 against the North Theater player No. 14.

Player No. 15 from the West Theater conceded defeat immediately after the match started, and didn’t even give the player No. 13 from the East Theater a chance to draw, who shouted “give up” just two seconds later.

Player No. 13 in the East Theater is another player who acts alone in the East Theater, except for player No. 1 who just had an accident.

Witnessing the accident of No. 1 player made him feel a sense of crisis. Who said that forming a team is useless? It’s still useful, at least it’s not good for the same team to harm each other. After thinking about it clearly, he decided to take the initiative to approach Cloris who currently recruits the most people.

The No. 2 player in the East Theater who is about to set foot on the lotus pier is a member of the Cloris team. Therefore, the No. 13 player in the East Theater is going to discuss with the No. 15 player in the West Theater to reach a draw, so that the No. 2 player in the East Theater is this The wheel doesn’t have to choose.

It’s a pity that contestant No. 13 from the East Theater was one step behind. Before he could discuss it, the opponent had already conceded defeat. As a result, contestant No. 2 from the East Theater had to step on the lotus pier.

Seeing that Player No. 13 had failed even such a simple thing, his eyes became gloomy. Hmph, he said that he wanted to move closer to them, but his actual actions didn’t mean that at all.

On the other hand, player No. 14 from the North Theater, who tasted the sweetness in the last round, is discussing with player No. 8 from the South Theater: “Why don’t we all stop and reach a draw again?”

Player No. 14 of the North Theater thought that the other party would also readily agree, but unexpectedly the other party hesitated and said:

“I don’t think this is very good. The ultimate goal of the third level is for everyone to safely reach the island in the middle. Don’t forget, the voice reminded us to hurry up at the beginning, indicating that the time for this level is not unlimited. Nor can it be wasted.

It doesn’t matter that there are few people on our side, but there are so many people on your side. Are you sure that you will still have a chance to reach the central island safely if you continue to delay like this? ”

This question awakened all the players who were addicted to the so-called security loopholes through the broadcast. Yes, how could the organizer allow them to exploit such loopholes, and the rounds of draws made the whole game stagnant?

Only then did they recall that the host had reminded them long before the start of the third level that if they moved slowly, the players behind would sink into the lake with the balcony!

Thinking of the fact that contestant No. 1 from the East Theater fell into the lake and didn’t survive for 3 seconds, fear grew in the hearts of all contestants, and a strong sense of urgency also shrouded the heads of contestants in the back row.

The director behind the scenes grinned and smiled brilliantly. He was very satisfied with the effect of such a show. These poor idiots finally realized the critical point. If they really dragged them on, would the ratings still be better?

Hmph, it would affect his ratings, so he threw them all into the lake and fed them to mutant creatures!

Contestant No. 14 from the North Theater, who was confronted by the questioning, finally reacted after being stunned for a long time, and asked in a dry voice:

“Then, then, are you willing to take the initiative to admit defeat?”

南剧场8号选手无所谓地点点头，输了也有3步好走。第三关刚开始的时候，他还为他们这边选手数量最少而担心，现在好了，意识到人数少也有人数少的好处，认输不过是少走三步，总比再停止前进一轮的好。

于是，第二轮比赛也结束了。

北剧场1号选手和东剧场2号选手获得前进4步到6步的选择机会，南剧场的1号选手获得前进1步到3步选择机会，西剧场1号选手原地暂停一轮。

得知此结果后，东剧场2号选手没有拖拉，果断利落地迈出5步。

他是想赌一把，第6个莲花墩已经被证明是惩罚了，那第5个也是惩罚的可能性应该小一些吧。

事实证明，2号选手赌成功了，他脚下的莲花墩下沉又浮起之后，展示出一行字：

【奖励：能量盒一个。】
