Happy New Year, woof woof!
After entering the real copy of Big Huo Ji, the player has queued up four times. The last queue is correct and passes the game.
The first time they had no idea about the game, they decided to queue up in the order in which they entered the game. In the Lao Ying Chicken Game, Big Huo Ji desperately chased after Ningning, and at the last second of the game, he seriously injured Ningning, and Ningning almost died. Because of Big Huo Ji's murderous intent towards Ningning, Tang Mo determined that there was a certain order of capture in the "Lao Ying Chicken Catch" game, and placed Ningning in the last position.
The short-haired girl is not particularly smart, but she tried very hard to recall: "At that time I remember Mr. Victor, and Xiao team, you all think Ningning sister in the last place. But now we know that the last in line is Mr. Don, so why did Big Huo Ji catch Ningning sister, could it be that ......" The short-haired girl's eyes lit up, she thought: "Big Huo Ji is deliberately misleading us? "
In the three Lao Ying chick-catching games, the first time the target was Ningning, and the next two times it was Fu Wenduo. Huo Ji did try its best to catch the chicks, but in fact it didn't kill a single one of them. Maybe it's just pretending to catch people, but in fact it's trying to mislead the player into getting the order wrong?
The more the short-haired girl thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct: "Did it deliberately mislead us to catch Ningning-sister. In the end, it didn't kill Ms. Ningning, and this kind of wanting to kill behavior instead made us think that Ms. Ningning was in the last place."
Xiao Jitong : "Your guess is not impossible, it's about a 20% chance."
The short-haired girl froze.
Xiao Jitong: "More than a hundred players played this game before us and none of them survived. The vast majority of these players must not have realized the rules of the Lao Ying Chicken Scratch game. After all, this is a copy of the reality of Nanking, and they are Nanking players."
The two girls were confused, and Tang Mo glanced up at Xiao Jitong when she heard this.
Xiao Jitong didn't care about the saying of "keeping family secrets", he generously said: "Earth has been online for more than four months, I don't know what the level of players in other cities is, but the level of Nanjing players is definitely below the average level of China because of the Raiders' group and the Nanjing group, so Nanjing players don't need to work hard to survive. NJ players don't need to work hard to live. They've lived too comfortably and experienced too few games. If those hundred or so people could think a little more out of the box, there would be no point in our Raider Group existing."
The two female high school students, who were also the NJ players Xiao Jitong was talking about, understood what Xiao Jitong meant and lowered their heads in shame.
There's really nothing to feel guilty about, but they just felt a little embarrassed. Especially in front of two non-NJ players (Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo). Of course, it soon came to the three month deadline, one month at most, when all NJ players had to attack the tower once. With the Black Tower's mandatory tower attack, no one could save them. That's why the two high school girls participated in a previous Black Tower game: they wanted to get stronger too.
Xiao Jitong continued, "At the beginning of the game, this big Huo Ji didn't know our strength. And it was very arrogant. In the first round of Lao Ying's Chicken Catch, it took us lightly, otherwise it wouldn't have fallen into Xiao Qiao's trap so easily. It didn't fall into the trap again the next two times. Its contempt means that it doesn't think we'll be able to realize the truth of Lao Ying's chicken game in one go, so there's a 70% chance that it's really Ningning that it's trying to catch the first time."
"Eighty percent." A male voice sounded from the side and Xiao Jitong turned his head to look. Tang Mo was seriously roasting Huo Ji, and he turned the tender and juicy chicken over while saying, "It wasn't just our minds that it despised, thinking that it was impossible for us to guess the rules of Lao Ying's game of Chicken Scratch, it was also despising our strength. It did want to kill Ningning at that time."
Xiao Jitong smiled and did not say anything else, and acquiesced to the idea.
The short-haired girl was confused, "Then it should have grabbed Mr. Don, not Sister Ningning."
Tang Mo looked towards this girl with a serious face. Nanking players had the shelter of powerful players, and had always seemed to live in a greenhouse, experiencing too few storms and generally weaker. These two girls were already considered good enough, not completely losing their fighting spirit and begging for the shelter of the strong. But they were just not good enough compared to many of the cunning players in Shanghai who could even go for the kill without blinking an eye.
But these two girls didn't give up. The short-haired girl really wanted to know the answer, to improve herself, to make up for her shortcomings.
It's not hopeless yet.
With this in mind, Tang Mo explains, "The Lao Ying chicken game requires at least three characters to play. The first is Lao Ying, the second is the chick, and the last is the hen. Who do you think was the hen in the game just now?"
The long-haired girl quickly said, "In first place are the hens ...... You're a hen?"
Tang Mo shook his head.
The short-haired girl thought for a moment, "...... Is that Mr. Don? Big Huo Ji keeps attacking him." The hen wants to protect her chicks and fights with Lao Ying.
Tang Mo said, "It's the big Huo Ji."
"Huh?"
No one expected that to be the answer.
"Big Huo Ji has transformed into Lao Ying, but the Black Tower keeps suggesting that she is our mother, that she has transformed into Lao Ying because she is schizophrenic, and that she is still essentially a hen. As a Lao Ying, she has to start from the last chick. So for the first round of queuing, our order is you, her, Mr. Xiao, Xiao Qiao ......"
Tang Mo's voice echoed through the empty supermarket.
Of the seven players present, Fu Wenduo and Xiao Jitong have already realized the truth of the game, only the other four are still confused. The two little girls listen intently, and Xiao Qiao and Ningning look to Tang Mo, all of them wanting to know the real answer.
It's actually very simple. At the beginning, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo thought that Ningning was the last chick in the queue because she was the first one that Big Huo Ji wanted to kill. In Lao Ying's game of chicken catching, the first chicken to be caught must be the last one in line, there is nothing wrong with this logic. The only thing they have miscalculated is that there is also a big hen in this game.
Big Huo Ji has split into Lao Ying, but he is still a big hen in essence. It wants to protect its children, but according to the rules of the game of the Black Tower, it has lost its mind and only wants to eat the chicks. How can it protect its children?
Line up and eat the worms, that's what Big Huo Ji, the mother hen, always says. Yes, only the chicks that line up properly will be blessed by Big Huo Ji. He doesn't have a schizophrenic attack on the children who are in the right line, but only on the ones who are in the wrong line, because he "doesn't recognize" that they are his children.
This is the underlying rule of Lao Ying's game of Chicken Scratch.
Counting from back to front, the first chick in the wrong line is the one Lao Ying wants to catch.
In the first queue, Fu Wenduo was in the last place and Tang Mo was in the second last place. Fu Wenduo was in the right place, and Ningning was in the second-to-last place, so the big Huo Ji didn't recognize his own child, and he frantically hunted down Ningning, who was the only chicken he could kill. In the next two rows, Ningning was in the last place and Fu Wenduo was in the second last place. Since Fu Wenduo should be in the last place, from back to front he was the first chick in the wrong queue, so he was the one who was hunted down by Lao Ying this time.
Tang Mo : "...... In fact, we should have thought that the second queuing error Big Huo Ji chased Don, which proves that our speculation of Lao Ying's chicken game has a loophole. It's not a matter of taking it for granted that the order of chasing and killing is one place forward." This reasoning is indeed a bit far-fetched. It's just that Tang Mo and others at the time only thought about the surface of the problem, and didn't make another logical collapse and think about the second level of logic. "What it's really catching is the first chick in the wrong row, counting from back to front."
Regular players, preppers, stowaways.
The reason the Black Tower is lined up in this order is so that the Big Huo Ji can kill the stowaways most easily. The least likely to die in this order was the official player. The Black Tower detested stowaways. Tang Mo and Xiao Jitong didn't say anything about this when they first decided on the queue order, but in their hearts, they all agreed to this fact.
It was precisely because the Black Tower detested stowaways and recognized full-fledged players the most that they came up with the order of "full-fledged players, reservists, stowaways". This is because the most likely to die are stowaways, and the most likely to survive are regular players. This kind of queuing is very much in line with the Black Tower's preferences and rules.
Tang Mo is in first place because he has cleared the second level of the Black Tower, is stronger than Little Boy, and is more recognized by the Black Tower, so he is in first place. Xiao Jitong is the first among the reserves because he has cleared the second level of the Black Tower, turned into a full player and is also recognized by the Black Tower.
They were not sure about the location of the two little girls, the only thing they got wrong was the location of Ningning and Fu Wenduo.
Ningning and Fu Wenduo are both players who have cleared the second level of the Black Tower and are both stowaways. It's too hard to decide which order to play them in. Ningning is very strong, and is being pursued by Huo Ji. Although Tang Mo had thought in his heart that "compared to Ningning, the Black Tower probably wants to crush Fu Wenduo into pieces", he still didn't dare to blindly believe in this kind of subjective consciousness, and his reasoning made him believe in the rules of the game of Lao Ying's catching chickens, and that's why he queued up wrongly twice.
But thankfully they ended up in the right order.
After Tang Mo and Xiao Jitong's explanation, the two little girls finally understood the truth of the game. Xiao Qiao suddenly realized the truth, and then he said, "Ah, wait a minute, when we asked the question for the third time, that big Huo Ji said that I was in second place, and this sister was in fifth place. Both answers are right." Only by this time Xiao Qiao realized, "...... it's cheating?!"
For the first two rounds of questions, Big Huo Ji's answers have been one right and one wrong. When the third question is asked, players will also assume that Big Huo Ji will lie once, and this will fall into its trap. In fact, it did work. It misled Tang Mo and Xiao Jitong, who ranked the girl with short hair in fifth place and the girl with long hair in fourth place.
Seven people roast Huo Ji around the fire, the game ends with the death of the big Huo Ji, and the atmosphere is very relaxing.
Xiao Jitong said, "I did explain all the reasons just now, but there's one thing I still have some doubts about." After a pause, Xiao Jitong smiled and looked at Tang Mo : "Mr. Victor, the order of these two little girls is truly untraceable, completely impossible to reason. I want to know ...... how you determined their correct position?"
As the words fell, the eyes of the crowd turned to Tang Mo.
The two little girls also stared at him curiously, and they also wanted to know how this magical out-of-town player had guessed the positions of the two of them. If Tang Mo was ahead of Xiao Qiao, it was because he had cleared the second floor of the Black Tower; Xiao Jitong was ahead of the two little girls because he had been turned into a full-fledged player; Fu Wenduo and Ningning's order was revealed by the three times Lao Ying had played the game of Chicken Scratch... ...What about them?
Why is it that girls with short hair come in fourth place and girls with long hair come in fifth?
Xiao Qiao stares at Tang Mo, while Ningning pretends not to be concerned, but quietly glances at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo stood up calmly, walked over to the fluffy chicken feathers (the feathers plucked off before the Big Huo Ji was roasted), and stooped down to pick up a tiny black bug from the ground. The small, tenacious worm had not yet died, and was struggling in Tang Mo's hands. Tang Mo squeezes it and walks back to the fire, placing it on the ground and then expressionlessly ......
A slap on the wrist killed it.
Xiao Jitong: "......"
Ningning: "......"
Xiao Qiao: "......"
Two Little Girls: "......"
Even Fu Wenduo froze for a moment. Soon after, the corners of his lips curled up, and his deep gaze swept over Tang Mo's face. Fu Wenduo held out his hand, "I'll do it."
Tang Mo nods and makes way.
Fu Wenduo handled the bugs even faster and more accurately than Tang Mo, he ground the tiny black bugs into crumbs in a few strokes, then pinched them up with his fingers and sprinkled them directly onto the charred and tantalizingly fragrant roasted Huo Ji. Several screams rang out at once, and the two little girls and Xiao Qiao all stared straight up, horrified, "What ...... are you doing?!"
Even Ningning's mouth was agape as he watched in disbelief as Fu Wenduo sprinkled the bug carcass on Huo Ji.
Tang Mo faintly said, "Eat the worm to get the reward. You guys don't want the reward, or do you want to just eat the worm?"
The crowd then remembered the Black Tower's pitiful pass reward: "......"
Compare and contrast eating a worm dry with grinding it into powder and sprinkling it on a big, flavorful roast chicken ...... Everyone fell silent in unison.
...... Still good for bug-flavored grilled chicken.
As the big Huo Ji was getting cooked, Tang Mo cut off a chicken leg with a knife. He took the chicken leg and ate it without ceremony, with no intention of giving it to the children. Fu Wenduo is not very interested in eating Huo Ji meat, and he helped to kill Huo Ji only because he realized that Tang Mo wanted to kill Huo Ji. When he realized that eating one piece of chicken meat and eating many pieces of chicken meat boosted his supernatural effects and physical abilities in the same way, he put away his knife and stopped eating the chicken.
The ones who ate the most were the two little girls and Xiao Qiao. within three minutes, the huge Huo Ji was divided up amongst the seven players. The next moment after they ate the bug's corpse, a clear child's voice rang in their ears -
"Dingdong! Gained a copy of the reward 'My Chicken Coop'."
Tang Mo flipped his fingers and a small miniature chicken nest appeared in his palm. Tang Mo looked up at Xiao Jitong, who was sitting closest to him, without moving, and his eyes flickered when he saw the chicken nest in the other man's hand.
Tang Mo calmly put this chicken nest into his pocket without taking it out directly to check the effect of the prop.
Eat Big Huo Ji, get the copy props, Big Huo Ji's copy of reality comes to an end. The two little girls kept thanking Xiao Jitong trio, if not for that box of banana wine, the short-haired girl would have died in the copy. She kept saying that if she survived, she would find a way to return the box of banana wine.
Before leaving, the two high school girls also thanked Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo again. There was just a hint of caution and timidity in their eyes. After the game, they were not teammates. It could even be said that in Big Huo Ji's game, they were not teammates with Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, and were at most temporary allies.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had the power to kill them, they didn't do it and helped everyone to win the game together. The two girls were very grateful. However, when the thanks were over, they turned and ran without looking back, it was getting dark and they needed to find a place to rest.
The two girls left, leaving Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo and Xiao Jitong in the supermarket.
Five people walked out of the supermarket together.
The sun was setting and it was surprisingly late in the evening. Perhaps it was the evening of the second day. The slightly warm spring breeze was blowing on one's face, and the sunlight stretched the shadows of the five people.
Tang Mo kept his hands in his pockets as he walked over to Fu Wenduo, and the two of them raised their steps and prepared to leave. At that moment, a voice with a smile rang out, "Mr. Victor, Mr. Don, it seems that you haven't answered the question I just asked. Why are you so sure about the order of those two girls in line?"
Tang Mo's footsteps stop.
He turned around.
At the entrance of the supermarket, a gentlemanly and clean-cut man was looking at him with a smile, and Xiao Jitong's gaze held no malice but a deep measure of suspicion. The man is always skeptical of questions he doesn't understand. He could give reasonable answers to any of Tang Mo's speculations, except for this one.
Why are those two girls in that order?
Why did Tang Mo ask those two questions at the end?
What exactly did he find in those two questions that made him come up with such an affirmative answer?
Under the warm sunset, Xiao Jitong laughed softly, and Tang Mo looked at him indifferently.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Tang Mo's fingers tapped lightly in his pocket. He seemed to be knocking on something. Ningning, apart from being able to speak with her lips, actually had very impressive hearing. She listened intently for a while, and thought that Tang Mo might be tapping on the chicken nest from earlier.
Tang Mo laughed, "Captain Xiao, like you, I believe in intuition."
Xiao Jitong was stunned, but he soon realized what Tang Mo meant. Xiao Jitong said the same thing the second time they waited in line. When Fu Wenduo asked him why he put the short-haired girl in front of the long-haired girl, he replied, "I trust my instincts." But in fact, he, Tang Mo, and Fu Wenduo knew that they were lining up this way because all three of them tacitly agreed that the short-haired girl seemed to be stronger than the long-haired girl.
And now Tang Mo has gagged him with this excuse.
Xiao Jitong's lips moved, then finally closed again, shaking his head with a bitter smile. Tang Mo's reasoning really left him speechless. Even if he understood that the other party was definitely not relying on intuition, he did not have any way to refute it.
At this moment, Xiao Jitong could never have imagined that in Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's pockets, a faintly glowing Huo Ji egg had suddenly gone dark. It had been flickering for a whole hour, and its two owners did not choose to read the file, so this time the archive time was over.
No matter what questions were asked of Big Huo Ji, Tang Mo knew deep down that he could not really determine the correct order of the two little girls. It was not a matter of subjectively and consciously determining who was stronger and who was weaker that would determine the position of these two. The cunning and sinister Big Huo Ji would not tell them this most important information, so Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo unanimously decided to open the archive at the end of the third round of Lao Ying's Chicken Scratch game.
They already knew the order of the other five, and the next was nothing more than a one in two chance. Either the short-haired girl was in front, or the long-haired girl was in front.
They have this chance to do it all over again and they will never lose.
So wanting to ask questions becomes a non-essential. Tang Mo asked three questions. The first two were essentially the same question, because he wanted to know: if a player asked two identical questions, how would Big Huo Ji answer?
The answer is: you cannot ask two questions that are the same, Huo Ji will ask you to change the question.
And for the second time, Tang Mo wanted to know exactly what would happen when there was only one player left.
More than a hundred and fifty people died here, and there must have been countless times when only the last person was left. What happened was that that person could not survive. Big Huo Ji gives Tang Mo an ambiguous answer, but Tang Mo has a sneaking suspicion of the final truth.
When you survive to the end by killing your teammates, Big Huo Ji will tell you with the most loving and merciless smile, "Son, you have to get in line in order to eat the bugs."
From start to finish, you have to line up. No matter how many teammates die, you line up. When only one person dies, have that one person line up for seven. This game never cares about how many people actually survive, there's only one way to get through the game: line up and eat bugs.
This is also the first question Tang Mo asked Big Huo Ji, and it did not lie, it told the final truth.
In a world dominated by the Black Tower, having a teammate you can trust is really the biggest blessing. Looking back on that bloody and violent game of Big Huo Ji, Tang Mo deeply understands that without powerful masters like Fu Wenduo and Ningning in this game, it would be hard for them to pass the level.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's footsteps were quick, and it was not long before they disappeared around the corner of the street. Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind them.
"Mr. Fu."
Fu Wenduo is on his feet.
As the sun sets below the horizon, Fu Wenduo turns to look at Xiao Jitong, who is not far away.
Tang Mo heard the sound and quickly turned around, staring vigilantly at Xiao Jitong and Xiao Qiao and Ningning beside him.The little boy looked confused, and seemed to have no idea what was going on. Ningning's hand was already on the crossbow at his waist, ready to attack.
Xiao Jitong kept smiling.
Fu Wenduo hooked his lips, "Captain Xiao, is there anything."
Xiao Jitong laughed, "I thought it was supposed to be you guys looking for us for something, am I mistaken? Knowing full well that in the game just now I had always suspected that 'if a player dies the game cannot be passed', it was impossible to take anyone's life, and so I deliberately revealed my name and confessed my identity to us ......" the voice paused. Xiao Jitong laughed, "Mr. Don, or rather, the most powerful stowaway in China, Mr. Fu Wenduo Fu, and this also very powerful Mr. Tang Mo. The two of you suddenly appeared in Nanjing, so you're not just passing through, right?"
Upon hearing the three words Fu Wenduo, the little boy first froze for a moment, then he said in horror, "He's Fu Wenduo?!"
Ningning coldly said, "He always is."
Xiao Qiao : "Then why don't I know?!"
Ningning: "Because you're stupid."
Xiao Qiao: "......"
Xiao Jitong : "You should have something to do in Nanjing. By giving us your names, you want to see if we can help you accomplish this. You guys want to do something with the power of our Nanking Raiders group, or perhaps with the power of the Nanking group. Let me take a guess ......" Xiao Jitong stroked his chin, pretended to ponder for a moment, and smiled, "Ah, could it be that you want to find someone?"
Tang Mo stared blankly.
Xiao Jitong laughed, "Really looking for someone?"
As soon as Xiao Jitong's words left his mouth, Ningning let out a surprised "Huh". She rolled her eyes and said in an odd tone, "Didn't that kid keep saying that he didn't know Fu Wenduo, that Fu Wenduo was a turtle, and that when he saw Fu Wenduo, he would definitely chop him into a hundred pieces to vent his hatred for being dragged into the tower attack game, and that he surely didn't have anything to do with Fu Wenduo? "
Fu Wenduo: "......"
Tang Mo: "......"
Fu Wen Sheng, who had just come out of a copy, sneezed. He rubbed his nose and looked to his teammates, "Didn't they say the weather has turned warm?"
