Chapter 167 "Children's Paradise" Rules and Calculations
The blind touching game that was about to start now made Jiang Qian feel weird.
Press Jiang Qian’s childhood memory of this game:
Touch Blind is a "one-to-many" two-camp game.
The blind player belongs to the attacking side. Although his vision is blocked, he can eliminate other players by groping or using water guns (props). The other players are the defending side, hiding at fixed points within a limited time, and blinding the blind player through avoidance, disguise, and blindness. win.
Putting aside the cruelty of this dungeon, letting the three teammates fight each other until the end, there are hints of a conspiracy just in the explanation of the rules.
For example, player identity.
Jiang Qian was assigned the identity of: blind man.
The dungeon only describes the blind player's operation path and winning conditions. It does not mention the functions and restrictions of other players, nor what the winning conditions are.
Now there is only a pair of human leather gloves pulled out of the blind box, which hints at its function with the blind player: it can be disguised as someone else, causing the blind player to make mistakes when trying to identify.
Judging from the introduction of the copy alone, there is a lack of logic and the description is very ambiguous.
Should we follow the "conventional blind thinking" to understand the current game?
Obviously not.
But what’s the purpose of copying this...
Jiang Qian looked back on his observations along the way. Based on his experience in previous rounds, the clues to clear the level are hidden in places where players can see and touch them, but are easily ignored.
Picture after picture rotated in Jiang Qian's mind: familiar house environment, blind man and dog, seafood porridge...
Because of the "blind touch" game, the unfamiliar environment is somewhat unfair to blind players, so the familiar venue from the previous round was used for this round of the game.
The blind man and the dog more intuitively imply the game of touching the blind.
Then...
Jiang Qian's attention stopped at the seafood porridge:
The hot seafood porridge is full of delicious aroma. The three boiled prawns floating on the surface of the porridge are fresh and mouth-watering.
Shrimp corresponds to "blind man".
Three, implying three players?
Jiang Qian's eyes lit up:
So, do the three shrimps imply that the three players are all "blind"?
If this is the case, it can be understood that the dungeon prompt only mentions the functions and winning conditions involving the "blind" player, and refers to the opposing camp with the vague concept of "other players".
If the player is not careful, he will automatically bring "other players" into the role of passive avoidance in traditional blind games, without considering and taking precautions.
"As expected of you, copy. It's not enough to alienate us, but you're also hiding a trick."
But how to break the current situation?
Is there a way to minimize the loss and ensure that all members pass the customs?
It's hard.
The rules are very clear: only one winning player will be produced this round.
Does that mean that this game between three people will continue until the final winner is decided? In that way, the end time of the game is the moment when the second player on the field is eliminated.
Jiang Qian thinks about the best strategy for the game from a purely rational perspective:
Just consider the possibility of winning: in my case, the opponent is a man and a woman, and I can easily tell their identities by touch; and I have one more pair of human leather gloves than they do, and I can use this to confuse perception.
It seems that my advantage is more obvious than the other two.
But it's not.
First of all, there are only three game participants, and the game combinations are relatively easy to calculate.
In terms of "touch discrimination", my advantage is ≥ a swan in flight > a dragonfly in the night.
The difference between Honghu Yufei and me is that when he touches a male, he can call my name immediately without thinking about it. Only when he touches a female, he needs to consider whether "this female" is really a night dragonfly or whether I am a human skin. The glove disguises itself as a night dragonfly.
But Honghu Yufei has a terrifying ability: sensing the dead by touch. In other words, he may have already confirmed through touch how many lives the Night Dragonfly and I were carrying. Therefore, the way he distinguishes the identity of Night Dragonfly and I is based on higher-order dimensions, and the speed may not be slower than mine.
Then add the attack dimension of water gun for consideration:
According to intuitive understanding, the attack speed of water gun is faster than shouting name, and it is more concealed. The water gun attack can only be used once.
Then, the timing of using the gun is very important. If Night Dragonfly and I touch each other, from my perspective, I can directly identify Night Dragonfly and shout out her name to eliminate her; but the other party needs to carefully judge whether the man they touch is a hidden dragon, and do not use it. It's still a flying bird. Not only is there a 50% chance of guessing wrong, but there is also a 100% chance of being killed because the speaker speaks slower than me.
But after adding the water gun, the situation is different. Night Dragonfly can just take out the gun and kill me without saying anything, without giving me a chance to call out my name.
Of course, in this way, she would lose the opportunity to continue shooting. The next time she encounters Honghu Yufei, he will be killed directly by the opponent without giving her a chance to call his name.
It's the same when I meet Honghu Yufei. If one of them chooses to shoot first, it means that the shooter can only survive this round. Because when he encounters the third player and loses the chance to shoot, he will definitely be shot directly by the opponent.
Jiang Qian's thoughts gradually became clearer.
The key point of the game in the current situation is: Don’t be the one who fires the first shot!
Whoever fires the first shot will be missed by a third party.
But if you insist on not shooting, there is a certain probability that you will be the victim of the first kill.
……
The best solution is to wait for the other two to make contact first.
Regardless of whether the two parties are shooting or calling names, the third party can gain a huge advantage:
If a gun is fired, the third person can pick up the missed player and win; if the name is called, and the third person is close, he or she can even directly raise the gun to finish the job, or the identity of the surviving player on the field can be deduced by hearing the ID name, which is convenient Follow-up fancy operations.
Therefore, don’t be the first two people to meet, becoming the player who picks up the slack is the key to victory!
So the smart blind man should hide first and wait and see what happens... Jiang Qian thought as he approached the long table where the water gun was placed.
He smoothly held the fancy water gun in his hand, and a red prompt with an exclamation mark immediately appeared in front of his eyes:
Please use your gun with caution, as those who are hit will die in a real sense!
(This prop overrides the betting rules, please be careful!)
"?"
Jiang Qian gradually frowned.
The water gun can only be used once, and can this single shot actually exceed the betting rules and become "truly fatal"?
He didn't expect that there were such powerful props or rules in this copy.
The water gun in his hand was actually a little hot to the touch at the moment.
Because of this extremely critical "cost" information, Jiang Qian had to overturn all strategies and reorganize his ideas.
"Shooting" can no longer be counted as a sure-fire move in the game.
This is a price that none of the three of them can bear.
And as Jiang Qian picked up the water gun, the dungeon prompt sounded as expected:
[Blind touch game, countdown: 30 seconds! 】
[Players please be prepared to leave the current room and enter the game venue! 】
[The game venue is the entire house except the starting room: storage room, bedroom, and study room. 】
[Countdown: 30, 29, 28...]
……
"So fast?"
He only had 20 seconds to think of a countermeasure... Jiang Qian clenched his gums silently.
He looked down at the colorful water gun in his hand. It was hard to imagine that this was a sharp weapon that was about to be used to take the lives of his teammates.
