Extraordinary pedigree

"This game has three elements: you and your companions, that is, the 'players'; the method of selection, which is the strategy; and the result of the choice, which is the income."

Harvey saw the blond boy talking to him enthusiastically about the so-called 'rules of the game', and he already vaguely felt the malice of this game in his heart.

"Now we use three base numbers to measure the benefits after each choice. The three base numbers are: -3, -5, and 0."

Harvey suddenly stared at the teasing blond boy with wide eyes. He now understood the dangers of this game.

"It seems you have understood, now you have 30 seconds to choose..."

Yes, Harvey figured out how the game was played.

If the other party confesses, it is better for me to confess than to lie; if the other party lies, it is better for me to confess than to lie.

If the other party confesses, it is indeed better for me to confess – 3 than to lie – 5; if the other party lies, it is indeed better for me to confess 0 than to lie – 1.

Harvey quickly derived a comparative advantage strategy through the mental model provided by the blond boy.

If the other party confesses, my relative advantage strategy is to also confess, so each gets -3; if the other party lies, my relative advantage strategy is still to confess, so I get 0 and the other side gets -5.

And the other party is like this: if I confess, the other party's relative advantage strategy is to also confess. If I lie, the other party's relative advantage strategy is still to confess.

So my choice is already decided...

"5——"

"4——"

Xia Xiu had already started counting, and Harvey could vaguely see the joke on the smile on the other person's face.

"I confess!"

"You are indeed very talented. You will soon understand the principle of Nash equilibrium."

"What?"

"No, it's nothing. Come on, happily tell me your companion's address."

"...No matter what we choose, you will actually kill us, right?"

Harvey asked the blond boy with a pale face.

Looking at Harvey's pale cheek, Xia Xiu walked over, then stretched out his hands to hold the other person's face, pulled his cheeks with his thumbs, and smiled at him:

"Why are you so serious?"

"You have to know that some things are more terrifying than death."

Harvey looked at the smile of the blond boy in front of him, and he felt the boundless coldness eroding him.

Yes, some things are more terrifying than death, and this terror is right in front of me.

Harvey finally chose to confess to Xia Xiu the places and information he knew about his companions' frequent visits, and made an indelible and important contribution to Xia Xiu's subsequent cleaning mission.

After questioning Harvey, Xia Xiu began the inspection process. He knocked Harvey out again, then dragged his companion Westan out of the far corner, and then threw Harvey into the corner.

This time, Xia Xiu's gameplay was slightly different from Harvey's. He took out a bucket full of ice cubes, then pulled the unconscious Westan's hair and pushed it into the bucket.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

After Weistan was about to suffocate, Xia Xiu lifted him up from the bucket. At this time, Weistan's face was extremely blue, and Xia Xiu smiled at Weistan who was lying on the ground and said:

"Ah, you're awake. The operation was very successful."

········

An hour later.

There was a sound of mechanical transformation, and [Gorgon] transformed into a ring again. Two headless corpses were kneeling at Xia Xiu's feet. He snapped his fingers at the corpses expressionlessly.

The flames mercilessly devoured the two headless corpses in front of them.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave them whole corpses, it's just that if he wants to get rid of the [parasitic man-eating spiders], he can only blow up the heads together.

As for the 'preferential treatment' he mentioned, Harvey and Westan were shot in the head while they were asleep, so there shouldn't be any pain when they died...probably.

In front of him were two corpses being cremated, but he casually looked at the two lists he had just obtained that were 92% similar. The information on the 15 parasites lay neatly on the paper.

As for the missing one, he's a thoughtful guy.

Snapped--

Xia Xiu flicked the list with his right index finger.

"Let's clean these fifteen spiders first. Well, heaven is indeed a place for social animals. This familiar and unusual workload of working overtime has not changed at all!"

"Harm~, just think of it as a promotion and a raise in salary."

Xia Xiu's figure disappeared into the abandoned building, and the flames behind him gradually dissipated.

As a gust of wind blew, white dust flew everywhere.

Huadu-District 18

Underground boxing ring.

boom--

"Good job Balu!!"

"Kill that turtle grandson——"

At this time, in the octagonal cage of the local boxing ring, two figures wearing only boxer briefs were beating each other with fists. Their fists were so fast that only afterimages could be seen, and the methods they used were not normal. human means.

On the betting table near the Octagon, a blond boy was chewing gum and watching the two figures attacking each other with interest.

"You actually have Oletin's [Fresh Candy] here. Give me ten bottles. No, sell me all your inventory. I'll take them all."

Xia Xiu said excitedly to the old man holding a small shelf box in front of him and selling cigarettes.

"Guest, this is not that easy..."

"This is five hundred central coins."

"There are fifteen bottles in total. Please check them."

Xia Xiu happily accepted the [Fresh Candy], which was much easier to chew than 'Xuanmai'.

Xia Xiu chewed gum while looking at the game entering the final stage.

Snapped--

With a dull blow, the neck of one of the thinner players rotated 360 degrees clockwise, and then fell to the ground. His neck now looked like a twist.

"The winner is the ogre - Balu!!!"

“Baloo Balu Balu!!!”

The customers in the underground boxing ring roared excitedly, while Balu hit his strong chest with his fists and roared wildly.

Xia Xiu chewed gum and looked at Balu with squinted eyes.

Balu: One of the 19 parasites. His extraordinary abilities include extraordinary physique, extraordinary strength, adsorption and climbing, and rapid self-healing. He haunts the underground extraordinary boxing ring all year round, nicknamed the Ogre.

The thumb and index finger of Xia Xiu's left hand were slowly turning the ring on the index finger of his right hand.

The underground extraordinary boxing ring is an 'entertainment venue' specifically for people with extraordinary abilities to fight to the death. The security here is very strong, and Xia Xiu doesn't want to go head-to-head with the security personnel here.

And Balu seems to have a good relationship with the owner of this boxing gym.

Wait a little longer and find an opportunity to send him off...

Count the votes and take pity on the poor child——
