Darwin Test.
An hour later, Tang Mo closed the door gently. He turned his head and realized that the remaining six were already waiting in the hall.
Tang Mo walked unmovingly to Fu Wenduo's side. There was no furniture in the central hall, only a clock suspended in the air, but everyone's room was fully furnished. Someone has taken the chairs out of the room, leaving the one beside Fu Wenduo empty, and Tang Mo walks over to sit down.
Seven chairs sit in a circle, and cleverly, three returnees sit together, Tang Mo four.
The game has just begun, and the players are already clumping together.
The seven people looked at each other in silence, and after a moment, the young man among the returnees spoke, ''Since we've entered the same game, we're considered teammates. This game is not a PK killing game, so if we cooperate with each other, we should be able to get through the game better. Let's get acquainted, I'm Dude, the Returner." He pointed to the golden number on his neck.
The time charts don't move anymore, but the numbers around their necks don't disappear. Unless it's a "meat pig" among the returnees, anyone can tell they're a returnee by looking at them.
The returnees had already introduced themselves, and Tang Mo said, "Tang Mo."
Female Returnee: "Xing Siqi."
Chen Shanshan: "Chen Shanshan."
......
All seven introduced themselves. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't hide their names, as their names were revealed by the Black Tower at the beginning. They are dealing with the Returners, not Jacks, who have been through many games, so there is no point in hiding them, as the other side must already know who they are. However, when they heard the names of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, the three Returners' faces changed.
In Eve's game, eliminating Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo directly opens up rewards, including and not limited to the respect of the Underground Man and Circus Master.
The young man took a deep breath and said, "Okay, we all know each other, so I'll go ahead and say it, I'm the top link in this food chain, no one has any questions, right?" He had a number "4" emblazoned on his face, and was the highest ranked of the players present. "This game is actually very simple, just like Wang Xiaotian said, violence is forbidden and not required. As long as we find out the complete food chain that belongs to us, we can win."
It's easy?
Tang Mo: "How do you figure out the food chain?"
The younger man eyed Tang Mo warily, "We each got a clue, and based on the clues on that, I think we all have a guess at the food chain."
Tang Mo didn't have a clue about the food chain, and for that matter, his comment didn't even count as a clue. Pretending not to know anything, he blandly said, "No one can eat you, so what do you want to do?"
Younger man: "The best way to verify that the next level is not part of your food chain is to eat it. My clues already tell me what my next level is, so I can eat the other guy's blob."
"Are you sure you know what your next level is?"
A low female voice rang out, and everyone turned their heads to look at Chen Shanshan.
The young man didn't even notice Chen Shanshan, and was always on the lookout for Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.Seeing this ordinary-looking little girl, he said in disbelief, "I'm percentage sure who my next level is."
"Percentage sure ah ......" Chen Shanshan voice calm, "You know what the food chain is."
The young man didn't understand the meaning of Chen Shanshan's words, "Of course I know, it's a chain of predation, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp."
Chen Shanshan : "Eat the wrong object and you will die of food poisoning. The Black Tower and Cinderella don't state what happens to the wrong object, but there is no doubt that you will die if you eat the wrong object. Everyone's clues cannot be explained to the public. I've seen my clues, and I'm pretty sure I can't find my food chain through this simple clue, and I'm not even sure who my next level is, or if I have a higher level. The game just started and the clues given by the Black Tower shouldn't be so simple for you to discover your next level."
The young man's face changed slightly, "What do you mean."
Fu Wen whispered, "It means you are stupid. Shanshan-san couldn't even find the food chain through the clues, how could you?"
The children's voices were so small that they were only heard by Fu Wenduo. Fu Wenduo swept a glance at his own brother, Fu Wen sound immediately closed his mouth, obediently sat down and did not dare to speak.
Chen Shanshan : "I mean, is there something wrong with you being so sure of your answer. Do you really know what a food chain is?"
Being refuted by such a small child, the young man's face was not easy to bear, and his expression was a bit ugly. He was just about to angrily shout "I don't know", when Chen Shanshan took out a small book from behind him. On the cover of the book was a photo of Wang Xiaotian, with Cinderella smiling sweetly at the camera, and it was obvious that the little girl had taken the book directly from her room.
Opening his book, Chen Shanshan said, "A food chain consists of at least two levels, the producer and the consumer. In other words, A→B, this is a complete food chain. There are seven of us, and there are four kinds of numbers on the little ball. If you categorize the seven people by ABCD, it would be A1, A2, B1, B2 ...... and finally you, you are the only D."
The three returnees looked at the contents of the book and looked up at Chen Shanshan in surprise.
With only an hour to spare, how did this unimpressive little girl manage to draw such a complex diagram.
For a while, all three Returners did not dare to underestimate Chen Shanshan anymore and stared at her cautiously.
Chen Shanshan continued as if he hadn't noticed, "There's no doubt that you're the highest ranked D. The first rule of the game is that the number on each person's ball is determined by the other person's maximum level in the food chain. So between me and that ...... "After a pause, Chen Shanshan looked at the middle-aged man in his eyes, "Between me and Liao Feng, there must be someone who is your subordinate. But that doesn't mean you're not in the rest of the food chain."
Tang Mo had already thought of this question, but of the three returnees, the young man and the middle-aged man both blanched, and Fu Wen sounded frozen for a moment.
Chen Shanshan : "You are a D rank, yes, but you could also be in another food chain and be the third level of it, a C rank. In that case, your next level would be Fu Wenduo or Xing Siqi, such as Tang Mo → Fu Wenduo → you. It is also possible that you are the second level B in another food chain, and your next level would be Tang Mo or Fu Wen Sheng Sheng, e.g. Tang Mo → you. It's even possible that each of the six of us is your next level, and you could eat each of us. It's a food chain game, but the food chain is never monolithic, it's a network."
The young woman's mouth grew as he realized what Chen Shanshan meant. He then thought about his own clue, and his face turned ugly. However, what made him think even less was that a calm female voice continued, "Let me make an analogy, your clue is 'your subordinate is a female'."
Dude bristles and looks up at Chen Shanshan in shock.
In the center of the spacious room, the ordinary-looking girl sat next to the clock. She had been gazing silently at Dude since some time or other. realizing that Dude looked up at her in dismay, and that there was a rare flash of amusement in those quiet, dark eyes, Chen Shanshan cocked the corner of her mouth, and said at last, childlike, "I'm just making an analogy; I haven't read your clues, and you haven't told me about them. "
Dude's heart was beating extremely fast as he calmed his surging, complex emotions and he heard himself calmly say, "...... I know."
Chen Shanshan smiled and continued, "This clue looks like it's telling you that I'm your next level. Because within the C-level, only I am a girl. However, it doesn't tell you whether this next level it refers to is the third level or the second level. You may have two food chains, the first one: Tang Mo → Fu Wenduo → Liao Feng → you, and the second one Fu Wen 声 → Xing Siqi → you. At this point your next level wouldn't be me, but her," the little girl pointed to the young woman, "She's also your next level, or a female. This way, if you eat me, you will die of food poisoning. Now ...... are you sure you know who your subordinate is?"
Dude opened his mouth as if to speak, but no sound came out.
Tang Mo quietly watched the scene, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked up.
The young woman looked at the side for a long time, and voiced out, "We all understand what you mean, and this has occurred to me, the number on each person's blob doesn't mean that he belongs to this level only. Any player above the third level may have other levels of status. I can't see a way to pass this game at the moment, but there's no doubt that the clues in the blob are the key."
Middle-aged man: "The Black Tower doesn't allow us to tell anyone else about the clues in the blob, and no one else can know about it; both the teller and the told will be erased."
The young woman gave him a look, "No clues in the blob, but you can reveal something else. I'll go first, my clues tell me that the odds are high that my next level is this little boy."
Fu Wenduo's low voice rang out, "Is this secondary reasoning?"
The young woman didn't deny it.
Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow, "My next level is Tang Mo," after a moment he added, "The probability is high."
The middle-aged man honestly said, "I'm the third level, and according to what you guys just said, the four people below me could all be my subordinates, so I can't be sure who my subordinates are."
Chen Shanshan said, "There is no point in saying what my clues reasoned out."
The younger man didn't speak either.
Tang Mo said directly, "My clues don't make any sense either."
The three Returners gave Tang Mo a wary glance, and it was clear that none of them believed him.
Finally, it was Fu Wen's turn.
The little boy looked at Fu Wenduo with a firm gaze, his fingers clenched and his lips a little white, "I think my next level up is big brother."
In the next second, a female voice suddenly said, "You're lying! Your superior is me!" The young woman's eyes lit up, Fu Wen voice was frightened by her voice, her lips trembled, and she directly retorted, "No, my superior is big brother, that's how the clue prompted me."
The young woman licked her lower lip and laughed, "Little friend, do you not know what my powers are."
Tang Mo's heart was cold.
The young woman laughed, "You're lying, I know about this, I'm one hundred percent sure. My clues didn't actually tell me that accurately that you were my subordinate. But obviously ...... your clues tell you that your superior is likely to be me, the probability is perhaps more than seventy percent. That kind of probability is worth giving a try ......"
The young woman smiled slightly as she took her ball out of her pocket, the large "2" on the ball piercing Fu Wen's eyes.
Just as she opened her mouth and prepared to say a second sentence, suddenly, a cold dagger was placed against her neck. The young woman was instantly silenced, and her eyes turned to the man in black at the side. She did not see when Fu Wenduo walked behind her from the opposite side, and the dagger was dead center in front of her throat, able to slit her throat with just a slight movement.
The young woman said as calmly as she could, "What are you doing!"
Chen Shanshan stood up, "You want to eat him?"
The young woman's face changed, "I didn't."
Chen Shanshan: "You want to do this."
"......"
After a long time, the young woman said angrily, "It was meant to be, how can I be sure if he is my next level without eating him. Do I have to directly name my food chain? As long as one of the food chain I name is incorrect, I will be considered a failure. Aren't you going to eat the next level after you learn about it to determine if it's true or not? There is only one uncertainty compared to many, so of course you have to verify it first. Why else would this game have a rule like 'eat'! And I'm just eating his blob to verify the answer, it's not like I'm trying to do anything to him." Then she turned back to Fu Wenduo and said, "You want to kill me? Do it, the game forbids violence, you'll be erased directly by the Black Tower!"
Rarely are there people who are so unafraid of death Fu Wenduo seemed to find it somewhat amusing and gave a low laugh.
The young woman sneered, "If you're not afraid to die, you can come. The moment you use violence against me, the Black Tower will obliterate you."
Tang Mo suddenly understood: "Do you think he can ...... t kill you before he is wiped out by the Black Tower?"
The young woman's eyes twitched and she didn't speak.
"There are at least nineteen ways to kill you in an instant." The icy cold dagger rested against the woman's neck, Fu Wenduo's distance was extremely well controlled, and with every breath the woman felt that the dagger was about to slice her neck, but it didn't pierce it. She was so nervous that she held her breath, and then she heard the man's low voice laugh, "Want to try?" ,
After the dagger was withdrawn, the young woman's heart still palpitated as she watched Fu Wenduo step back to Tang Mo's side.
The moment Fu Wenduo drew his dagger, something had been teased out--
There was no way the four Earth players would let the Returners eat themselves at will, and the Returners wouldn't let the Earth players eat themselves.
They split up into two groups, warding each other off.
Things had come to a standstill. There were very few clues, so few that even Chen Shanshan couldn't figure out the right food chain. Fu Wenduo lowered his head and asked in Tang Mo's ear, "It doesn't make sense?"
He's asking about Tang Mo's earlier comment that his clue doesn't make sense.
Tang Mo couldn't tell Fu Wenduo the contents of his clues, and he couldn't be sure how far he could go. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "God is very discriminating, for making 3NT, and so the direct debit is unknown."
Fu Wenduo was slightly stunned. He came back to his senses and probably understood what Tang Mo meant.
Fu Wenduo : "We rarely do 3NT, right?"
This time it was Tang Mo's turn to freeze. He used bridge as a playing analogy for the clues he had gotten.
Tang Mo recalled, "Well, it seems like we've only done it three or four times total3NT...... there three times?"
Fu Wenduo said with certainty, "No. Twice, you did it."
Tang Mo smiled helplessly.
In the rules of bridge, 3NT is generally the smallest possible offer. Even if you win the game, if you make a 3NT contract, you will get less points. Fu Wenduo was very ambitious and never made a 3NT. He liked to make a 4S with the most points and sometimes pursued a Grand Slam. Tang Mo, on the other hand, is a steady winner. The two often play together and are well known on a bridge website in China, except that their points are not particularly high because Fu Wenduo either scores a lot of points or loses a lot of points with his style of play.
At that time, Tang Mo was looking at the computer and thought that the person sitting on the other side of the screen was a very impulsive and arrogant guy. So when he met Fu Wenduo and teamed up with him for a long time, he didn't realize that Fu Wenduo would be Victor.
Fu Wenduo doesn't look like a man of great ambition.
...... Is it true that you can't judge a book by its cover?
Tang Mo quietly surveyed Fu Wenduo, a man who might actually be ambitious.
...... He's ambitious? What's his ambition?
As Tang Mo recalled the scenes of their previous poker games, Fu Wenduo was also thinking about something. After thinking for a while, the two of them tacitly decided to put the matter aside for now. The players have obviously split into two small teams, and Tang Mo doesn't shy away from that. The four of them gathered together, and in a roundabout way, they gave a general overview of their clues.
Before Fu Wen Sheng was about to speak, Chen Shanshan said, "Little voice, you don't have to say anything. We can probably guess what your clue is, and secondly, to prevent you from accidentally saying too much." Not grasping the degree.
Fu Wen nodded meekly.
After the conversation just now, the clues for two of the seven players are already very obvious. The young man thinks his next level is Chen Shanshan, so it is very likely that his clue is "next level is female". Fu Wen Sheng's clue means that his next level should be a young woman, i.e. "Fu Wen Sheng → Xing Siqi". Of course, he could also be in two food chains, as well as "Fu Wen ¡V Fu Wenduo".
Chen Shanshan : "With seven players, four of the first and second ranks can determine their positions in a total of nine orders. But the three of the third and fourth ranks can't determine their positions. By the looks of things, except for the female returnee," the child gave Xing Siqi a quiet glance, "the other two returnees aren't sure who's in their next rank."
Tang Mo nods, "Well, as far as we've gotten so far, there's no way this game is going to pass."
Too little information and too many possible sequences.
The food chain is not a single food chain that divides the seven people into four classes, ABCD, and the three people in the CD class may have multiple positions. Chen Shanshan, for example, has the number 3 on her face, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's only in the third rank; she could still be in the second rank.
Tang Mo mused, "The food chain will be complicated when it forms a food web. The most important thing we need to do now is get clues about the others."
Fu Wen Sheng: "But the Black Tower said it's not allowed to tell anyone else about their clues."
Tang Mo furrowed his brow.
This game shouldn't be like this. If it did, there would be almost no way to pass the game. If it really comes to that, I'm afraid there's only one last way to pass the game. But that way ......
Tang Mo raised his head and realized that Fu Wenduo was looking at him. He turned his head again and met Chen Shanshan's eyes again.
The three men were silent in unison.
Tang Mo sighed softly as he gripped the small Yang San and stood up. Just as he was about to get up, a dull bell sounded abruptly.
Buzz!
The twelve chimes echoed through the room, and the seven men immediately stood up alertly. The ear-piercing sound of a carriage was coming through the door, and Tang Mo looked in dismay at the clock in the middle of the room. At some point, that clock had already pointed to twelve o'clock.
Chen Shanshan exclaimed, "How could it be so fast?!"
Yes, how can it be so fast. They were all time-conscious people, and all of them understood what twelve midnight meant to Cinderella, so from the very beginning Chen Shanshan had paid attention to the time. Yet it was clear that no minutes had passed, yet this clock reached twelve o'clock in the blink of an eye.
Fu Wenduo sunk his face and stared indifferently at the huge door.
With a creak, the doors slowly opened. A gorgeous pumpkin carriage drove in slowly from outside the gate, Tang Mo was ready when the door opened and a beautiful crystal shoe was first in everyone's eyes. Tang Mo subconsciously sensed that something was wrong, and when the beautiful girl in the carriage got out, everyone was surprised for a moment.
Wang Xiaotian, wearing a beautiful blue dress, covered her lips and smiled, "Wow, I love the look in your eyes right now. Think I'm going to meet you all in rags and tatters? Too many fairy tales! I'm Wang Xiaotian, the most popular hostess of the underground people Wang Guo!" Cinderella walked to the center of the crowd with the hem of her dress in hand, and she reached out her hand and turned the hands of the clock to eight again.
After doing so, she scanned the room for a week and smiled sweetly, "So you stinking humans, do you now know your food chain. This is the first night, you have two more. When I, Wang Xiaotian, become the crown princess I won't have time to play such childish games with you guys, so you'll all be left to fend for yourselves in your rooms."
Chen Shanshan spoke directly, "This game is impossible to pass."
Wang Xiaotian's eyes widened, "What did you say?"
Chen Shanshan calmly said, "I'd say, with the clues we've gotten so far, I can't get through this game unless I get lucky."
Wang Xiaotian said angrily, "You human, you're stupid and you're blaming my game! Of course I can pass my game, all the underground people Wang Guo know that I, Wang Xiaotian, never lie!"
Fu Wen whispered, "Who knows if you're lying or not."
Tang Mo suddenly said, "How to pass."
Wang Xiaotian reflexively said, "According to the clues to find out the food chain you are in, you can pass the level ah ......" Suddenly covered his mouth, the playful young girl blinked: "Huh, what did I just say well. "
Fu Wenduo : "We can only know our own clues, we can't know others' clues. It's impossible to pass the level."
Wang Xiaotian rightly asks, "Are you so unmotivated that you can't try to pass the Darwinian test and get clues to the location of other food chains!"
Tang Mo's eyes widened, "Darwin test?"
Wang Xiaotian smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth, "Ahhh, did I forget to tell you guys. Every night you can take the Darwin test to improve your position in the food chain. The food chain has been set and won't change again, but the people in each position can change ah ah. A mouse eats a tiger, he becomes a tiger, and a tiger becomes a mouse. You get first place in the Darwin Test," Wang Xiaotian pointed at Tang Mo, "you get to evolve to the highest rank and get his blob and the clues inside. Did I not say that? Ah, I must have been too busy and forgot all about it."
On her lips, the gloating smile on Wang Xiaotian's face implied that she hadn't forgotten about this matter at all, but was just deliberately not saying anything to enjoy the surprised expressions of these humans.
The young woman said, "What is the Darwin test?"
Wang Xiaotian poked his tongue out, "Are you sure you want to participate?"
The seven nodded without hesitation.
The game has been stopped, and there is no way they can get any other clues to pass the game without taking this Darwin test.
Wang Xiaotian laughed strangely, she was so excited. That familiar smile made Fu Wenduo's eyelids jump, and then he saw Wang Xiaotian clap his hands together, and a huge camera suddenly dropped from the ceiling. Who knows when it was there, there were three more thumps of lights turning on, and a dazzling spotlight illuminated the seven players in the center of the room.
Wang Xiaotian moved her right hand and a diamond microphone appeared in her hand. With a leap, she sat on the roof of the pumpkin carriage. She no longer looked at the seven players, but instead raised her head to look at the huge camera.
"What are the nine unsolved mysteries of Wang Guo, the underground man?"
"Is the circus ringmaster really broke?"
"Is Eve, the one all the Black Tower monsters are looking for, a Returner or an Earth survivor?"
"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump! Hello everyone, I'm your favorite Wang Guo TV gold host Wang Xiaotian, and today it's time for another enjoyable quiz, and for the 8341st episode of Happy Quiz, we've come to 'Cinderella's Food Chain Game'. Let's take a look and see which lucky winners have successfully entered our game today?"
Wang Xiaotian smiled sweetly at the camera, "The Happy Quiz, a total of twelve snatch-answer questions. Those who answer correctly get points, those who answer incorrectly get no points."
Wang Xiaotian points his hand and the camera focuses on the seven players in the center of the room.
Aside from Fu Wenduo, the remaining six were all dumbfounded. Tang Mo quickly came back to his senses and squinted his eyes. He saw a red robotic question rise from the floor in front of each player. There were a total of seven snatch-answer questions, suspended side by side in front of the players.
Wang Xiaotian gave a cheeky laugh, she sat on the roof of the pumpkin carriage and wiggled her legs, happily said: "Today's program is a special outing of the Happy Quiz, I, Wang Xiaotian, am a gold medal host, I will always think of my most adorable viewers when there are any good things, and I am not trying to mix up the program to earn a paycheck. Two of the seven players will be recognized by the audience in front of the TV, and they are quite famous. As for who they are ......"
"I'll sell it, so I won't tell you."
Although Wang Xiaotian wanted to talk more nonsense and mix up the length of the program, she looked at the clock and said regretfully, "Time is limited, so let's make it official~"
It all happened so suddenly. Wang Xiaotian appeared out of nowhere, cameras suddenly fell from the sky, and there was also the "Happy Quiz" program that they had never heard of before. But Wang Xiaotian didn't give them time to react, the players were still confused, Wang Xiaotian opened his mouth and said, "Dang dang dang dang, please listen to the questions! First question, underground ......"
"Clang!"
Wang Xiaotian was shocked, "So fast!" She looked up at Tang Mo in surprise.
Even Fu Wenduo didn't react, but Tang Mo actually pressed the roboticizer before Wang Xiaotian could say the question.
Wang Xiaotian was also a bit confused: "Guest Tang Mo, I haven't even said the question yet, why are you pressing the robocall? Do you know what question I'm going to ask?"
Tang Mo, with a straight face, "I don't know."
Wang Xiaotian: "Huh?"
Tang Mo : "You just said there are points for correct answers and no points for wrong answers. You didn't say that there are penalties for wrong answers ...... There are penalties for wrong answers?"
Wang Xiaotian : "...... no."
Tang Mo faded, "Let's grab a question first, then."
The three returnees who just reacted: "......"
It still comes with this!!!
