Train to Another World
Chapter 66: The Path of Careful Budgeting
Early the next morning, the airship reached the top of the trap tower. The Trap Tower is a huge stone prison, cylindrical in shape, filled with traps, and looks like a stone pillar from a distance.
Some regular prisoners without telekinesis who are captured by bounty hunters will be imprisoned in trap towers.
This time, we simply let these prisoners reuse waste and add it to the third exam as part of the assessment. Because they are all regular prisoners, it is not difficult for the candidates to deal with them, and even if they use this exam to escape from prison collectively, they will not cause too much trouble.
When all the candidates stepped out of the airship, the airship flew away. As it went away, the topic of the third exam was played on the loudspeaker: "The time limit is seventy-two hours. Reach the ground alive. And it is forbidden to go down from the outside of the tower."
After Li Zhuoguang heard the notice, he called the other three people to come and gather. If he remembered correctly, in the original exam, candidates were not prohibited from going down from outside the tower.
It's just that when a rock climber climbed down from the outside of the trap tower and was eaten by a group of strange birds, no one was ready to leave the tower.
So this time there is such a sudden addition, that means something has changed.
Thinking about it carefully, only the Hunter Association knew about their possession of flying props. This was actually expected, and Li Zhuoguang didn't care too much.
After the other three people came over, Li Zhuoguang asked, "Did you just go to bed last night?"
Wei Changfeng nodded: "I followed the chief priest's instructions and went to bed very early last night."
Xiong Facai scratched his neck: "I went to bed very early last night, but I was a little hungry in the middle of the night, so I went out to eat supper. I met the old man during the day in the restaurant. It seemed that he wanted to chat with me, but then If you find that you don’t understand the language, forget it.”
Qin Daniu said with some embarrassment: "Just after I went to bed last night, Xiaojie and his friends came to see me and dragged me around on the yacht. Then I met the old man. We started playing ball in a daze until midnight. Just went back to sleep."
Li Zhuoguang raised his eyebrows: "What was the result of your game?"
Qin Daniu said: "I found out that the old man deliberately asked us to use only one hand and one foot. I couldn't get angry, so I used all my strength to force him to use both hands and feet.
Then he stopped playing, maybe because he was angry. But Xiaojie seemed quite happy. "
Li Zhuoguang nodded. It seemed that their group had been noticed by the president, but it didn't matter.
It didn't matter that Killua killed two people because of an argument on the airship. Their group was already considered a good and lawful camp, and the Hunter Association probably wouldn't deliberately target candidates who were suspected of being Warcraft.
Li Zhuoguang said to everyone: "Now we need to go down to the ground through this stone pillar. There are many secret doors on the top of this stone pillar. We need to find the secret door leading to the same road."
"Brother Facai, do you have relevant detection skills?" Li Zhuoguang turned to Xiong Facai and asked.
Xiong Facai nodded: "These are all ordinary stones, which can't isolate my demonic power. It's a trivial matter, it's up to me."
After a while, Xiong Facai found four secret doors. Under these four secret doors is the same room. The four people passed through the secret door and jumped down at the same time.
The four people entered the room and found that there was a small amount of water and food in the room, which was evenly divided into four parts, and there was only one exit. Above the exit were written the words "The Path of Saving Money".
Anyway, there was only one exit and there was no other choice. After everyone picked up water and food, they headed for the exit.
In fact, before they came to take the exam, they had prepared a lot of water and food in their storage bags. They took away the water and food here just because they were afraid that these items would be the key props for the next step.
After walking a few steps, we arrived at a large space with four treadmills placed in the corners and a large round table in the middle.
There were four prisoners in this space already sitting at the table, all four of them were young women.
Seeing the candidates coming, the youngest one shrank back timidly. The older woman stepped forward to negotiate and said: "Please sit down, welcome to the gambling game."
Li Zhuoguang glanced at them. None of the prisoners locked up here knew how to read. With four women showing no traces of training on their bodies, it seemed unlikely that this game was about force.
Li Zhuoguang greeted everyone, sat down on the other side of the table, and asked, "What are the rules of the game?"
The older woman said: "I know you got four portions of food in the room at the beginning, and we also have four portions here.
After a while the room would draw a curtain between us, and neither of us would be able to see what was happening on the other side. We each placed food on the table, in the quantity we chose. Once both parties confirm, the curtain will rise again.
If the number of food placed is exactly one less than that of the other party, the party with the smaller portion wins.
If the number of food placed is more than one less than that of the other party, the party with more food wins.
The winner gets all the food on the table.
If both parties place the same number of food portions, both parties lose and need to destroy all food on the table.
The game only lasts one round, and the winner or loser is determined once. "
After explaining the basic rules, the older woman pointed to the door behind her and added: "This is the only exit. If you want to open this door, you need to offer ten pieces of food."
Li Zhuoguang discovered Hua Dian: "We only have eight portions of food in total. How can we get ten portions together when we only play the game once?"
The woman pointed to the four treadmills and said, "There are counters on these treadmills. As long as you complete a certain mileage, you will get a portion of food."
Li Zhuoguang smiled and said, "If I choose to exchange food for running directly, then I can not play games with you, and I can leave directly after collecting enough portions?"
The woman smiled and said, "Of course this is also an option. Maybe you have also discovered that the amount of each portion of food is very small.
I want to remind you that the road you are on is called the 'Road of Careful Calculation', and the food you get is also calculated. The food you get from running is far from enough to replenish the physical energy and water you consume while running.
This exam lasts a total of 72 hours. If you collect ten portions of food by running at the beginning, it is only enough to open this door. In addition to these ten portions of food, you need to get more food as a supply later.
Now you are in a state of fullness and don't think it's a big deal. , but I don't think you can go far if you get food at a loss from the beginning. "
Li Zhuoguang nodded and asked: "According to the rules, I am encouraged to get food by running first and then participate in the gambling. This game is ultimately testing our balance between the food we hold, our own physical fitness and the game process?"
The woman replied: "This conclusion is partially correct."
Li Zhuoguang did not delve into where his conclusion was wrong. He suddenly laughed: "You four are all women, and we are all men. We must admit that women are naturally weaker than men in physical performance.
In addition, the rules of this game are that the more food you have, the greater the advantage. We can get much more food than you at the beginning and form a crushing advantage over you.
As long as you put all the food on from the first game, you will lose anyway.
Then, what is the meaning of the so-called game?"
The older woman also laughed...
