Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 792 Two Keys
As soon as Protector Mu said this, the mentor's face became stiff.

At the moment, he could only continue to nod and bow with a smile on his face: "This...we have been registered with the local government, and it is definitely... verified and correct..."

Protector Mu waved his hand disdainfully: "Don't be sloppy with me here. I'm afraid the local government won't be able to distinguish the coat of arms of Tiangong Gate, right?"

"Old man He, don't laugh either." Noticing that Elder He beside him was snickering, the wooden protector was even more arrogant, "Even you, Tianxiao Pavilion, haven't seen the Tiangongmen coat of arms a few times, have you?"

Such a statement is naturally satirizing Tianxiao Pavilion, which is no more important to Tiangongmen than Jiuyou Palace.

"But I dare to say that the matter of the master of Tiangong will never be hidden from our palace master!" When he said these words, Mu Hufa's tone carried a sense of superiority.It was as if the most appreciated person was himself.

Elder He had a gloomy face, the sparks in his eyes danced a few times, but he suppressed them very well.The lips tugged, and then a stiff smile appeared: "Mu Hu, your Highness is here, I'm afraid you won't be allowed to call the title of 'that lord' directly?"

Caressing his long white beard, Elder He shook his head and let out a long sigh, "It's the rules set by your Palace of Nine Netherness, and your servants have to take the lead in obeying them, otherwise, how can you convince the crowd?"

Tianxiao Pavilion and Jiuyou Palace have been at odds for a long time. Whenever members of the two major forces meet in the outside world, there must be some tit-for-tat confrontation, and they all want to step on each other.Even this joint inspection operation has once again become their battlefield.

The two of them did not give in to each other, but on the mentor side, neither party could afford to offend, so he could only step forward and bow down and apologize with a smile: "You two special envoys, it's been hard work coming from a long distance, now let's take care of the children first." The competition. When this side is over, I have specially prepared delicious food and wine, and I will wait for the two of you to reward me!"

Elder He and Protector Mu glanced at their mentor, and when they looked at each other again, they already smiled tacitly.

These tasks of inspecting subordinates have always been quite lucrative.As long as there are a few words of music that are both soft and hard, the lower-level forces will definitely offer a large sum of money in a hurry, and ask the envoy to "speak a few good words on his behalf."Compared with the real benefits, fighting against the opponent's forces is not in a hurry.

Seeing the reconciled atmosphere, the mentor secretly heaved a sigh of relief, so the three people who "face and heart are at odds" turned their eyes to the big screen in front of them again.

On the many small windows separated above, Ye Shuo and others are displayed in one corner.

In the previous first level, they found a large number of puzzle pieces from all corners of the room and successfully put them together to obtain the pass code.Now, they have entered the second level.

The space here is open, not so much a room as an empty hall.Dim candles were burning in the corners, and facing them, there were five side-by-side doors.From the appearance alone, there is almost no difference.

In the other corner away from the hall, there is a thick iron door.There is a golden keyhole on the iron door, and there are five ordinary keyholes not far from the lower end.From the looks of it, that should be the exit to the next level.

According to the rules scrolling on the bulletin board, for this level, they need to choose a room to enter. There are two keys in the room, one is a golden key and the other is an ordinary key.Everyone chooses a key, must choose, and can only choose one.The room is completely closed, and during this process, no one can know the choices of others.

After the selection is completed, return to the lobby to gather again.If five people choose the common key, each will get an even distribution of points, and can immediately open the iron door and enter the next level.

It is worth noting that the function of the ordinary key is limited to cooperate with the other four ordinary keys to open the iron door.As long as any key is missing, the person holding an ordinary key is equivalent to holding a piece of scrap iron.

And if you choose the golden key, you can open a treasure chest in the room and get a certain amount of points.Correspondingly, it means that he betrayed his companions.

If only one person chooses the golden key, he will get full points, and can open the iron door with the golden key and pass the level directly.

If more than one person chooses the golden key, after getting the points in the treasure chest, they can get a point reward again.As for those who choose ordinary keys, they still have nothing.

And the most important point, if all five people choose the golden key, the room will be sealed directly.The challenge failed on their behalf and must stay here until the end of the game.

The selection was performed in five rounds with a quarter-hour rest period between each round.After all five rounds of the game were over, the iron gate opened unconditionally.In other words, as long as there are no five golden keys, this is a level without any difficulty, just for everyone to earn points.

"Then, let's all use ordinary keys!" After reading the rules, Ye Shuo excitedly suggested to everyone.

"I know you are still worried about betrayal, but we are already partners, as long as we promise each other, we will never betray, isn't it good?"

Under his instigation, everyone looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, just take the ordinary key!"

Soon, the first round of the game officially began.

Ye Shuo randomly chose a room.After he entered, the door closed automatically.

This place is quite narrow, and the treasure chests piled up on all sides also make the only remaining foothold even more limited.

There are two closed glass cabinets standing in the middle, inside which are a golden key and an ordinary key.In front of the glass cabinet, there is a palm mark.It seems that they are required to stick their palms on it to open the glass cabinet.

The palmprint of the same person can only open one glass cabinet in each round.This is also to prevent them from trying to get both keys and take them out of the room at the same time.

Ye Shuo looked at the two keys in front of him.Although according to the rules, there is almost no benefit for the person who takes the ordinary key. Instead, if he takes the golden key, as long as he does not encounter the worst situation, he can get considerable points every round, and even have a chance of winning directly, but , since he has made an agreement with everyone, he will choose to keep the promise.And, he believes others will do the same.

He raised his palm and stuck it on the palm print on the right without hesitation.After a slight noise, the upper part of the glass cabinet opened automatically, and Ye Shuo also took out the ordinary key from it.

Returning to the hall again, other people also came out one after another.Ye Shuo excitedly nodded at them, and waved the ordinary key in his hand.But to his disappointment, the others did not respond.

Could it be they... A shadow passed over Ye Shuo's heart.Then he shook his head vigorously, no, it's impossible, because everyone has already agreed before!
After everyone walked out of the room, the results were announced on the bulletin board.

Li Yue, Jin.

Seeing the first line of text, Ye Shuo stared at Li Yue in disbelief.How could this be, did she choose to betray?

In Li Yue's eyes, there was no fluctuation.On the contrary, Liang Xia at the side looked relieved.

Then, the second and third lines of text emerged, and Ye Shuo's eyes widened.

Liang Xia, Jin.

Huangfuli, Jin.

Ye Shuo, Pu.

Tan Taijing, Jin.

In the end, was he the only one who kept his promise and chose the ordinary key? !
"You..." Ye Shuo kept shaking his head.It is rare to have such a game that does not involve life and death, why did they still choose to betray?

"Don't look at us like that!" Finally, Liang Xia yelled, "Yes, I chose the golden key, but even without me, there are a few of them, the five ordinary keys are still incomplete! To put it bluntly, you were too idealistic from the very beginning!"

"That's right, there are still four rounds anyway," Li Yue also said, "This is a level to earn points, why don't you earn enough before leaving? As long as you reach the last round and choose common keys together Alright! Before that, we can choose one person in turn to choose the general key to guarantee the bottom line, this is the solution that maximizes the benefits!"

"But...but you promised!" Ye Shuo was tongue-tied, and turned to Huangfuli in anger, "Didn't you also promise? You are a prefect, you should do what you say!"

"Just because I know that they all have such thoughts, it is impossible to unify ordinary keys in the first round." Huangfuli's expression did not change at all, "In this case, it is better to get the points first." Beside him, Dan Tai Jing also nodded in agreement.

In the second round that followed, the same result appeared.Ye Shuo was the only one who chose the normal key. Liang Xia even patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, you always help us guarantee the bottom line. We will have to choose normal keys in the next few rounds!"

Ye Shuo's heart was full of aggrieved.Like them... thinking about their own interests all the time, even in the last round, can they really choose ordinary keys honestly?At that time, the iron gate will be opened unconditionally, so can they really give up the last chance to earn points?

If you don't choose an ordinary key, the worst case of five golden keys may appear directly!But if he really keeps the bottom line all the way, in the end, everyone else will earn a lot of points, and he will get nothing!Although he doesn't care about these points at all, but... why?
In the third round, before they entered the room, the bulletin board lit up again, indicating that the rules had changed.

Starting from this round, those who choose the golden key no longer have the privilege of opening the treasure chest.In addition, if you choose the golden key and the common key, the side with fewer people will win and get reward points.

If only one person chooses the golden key, he can still get all the points and pass the level directly.Correspondingly, if there is only one common key, the result is the same.

Only one condition is the same as before, that is, once five golden keys appear, the challenge will be counted as a failure.

Following the rule change, the rest period was temporarily extended.Everyone also began to urgently think about the latest strategy.

After Huangfuli had a brief conversation with Ye Shuo, he walked up to Liang Xia again.

"This time, Ye Shuo is going to take the golden key."

Liang Xia, who was originally indifferent, opened her mouth wide when she heard this.All over his face: "That Ye Shuo? Can he get the golden key? Why?"

Huangfuli said indifferently: "He's not a fool either, he knows you guys don't know how to use ordinary keys, so it's impossible for you to suffer from being dumb every time, right?"

"However, according to the rules, at least one person must take the common key, otherwise the level will fail immediately." Then, he added.

Liang Xia came back to her senses, and stammered, "So what? You...don't want me to take an ordinary key!"

"I know." Huangfu did not change his face, "So I will take the ordinary key."

"In this way, there is already a golden key and an ordinary key. You can choose whichever one you like." Under Liang Xia's surprised gaze, Huangfuli stood up and left a sentence indifferently.

After a while, Li Yue, Liang Xia, and Tantai Jing gathered together.Obviously, what Huangfuli said just now has already been said to them separately.

"If you want to win, you must choose a small number of sides. That is to say, there are only 4 situations." Li Yue took a pen and paper, writing and drawing, and explained to them at the same time.

"One person takes the golden key, four people take the common key, and the one with the golden key wins.

Two people take the golden key, three people take the ordinary key, and the person with the golden key wins.

Three people get the golden key, two people get the normal key, and the one who gets the normal key wins.

Four people take the golden key, one person takes the ordinary key, and the person who holds the ordinary key wins. "

"There are two other situations, all with golden keys, or all with ordinary keys." Tantaijing added.

"First of all, if you want to pass the customs, you must have an ordinary key." Liang Xia looked serious.

"Don't you already have the normal key?" Li Yue shrugged, "The prefect said he would take it."

Liang Xia nodded: "Okay, let's assume that now there is one common key and one golden key, that is to say, the distribution of keys will become like this." After speaking, he directly grabbed the pen and paper from Li Yue's hand, and quickly Tables are listed.

Gold, Pu, Gold, Gold, Gold (Pu key wins)

Gold, Pu, Gold, Pu, Gold (Pu key wins)

Gold, Pu, Gold, Gold, Pu (Pu key wins)

Gold, Pu, Pu, Jin, Jin (Pu key wins)

Gold, Pu, Pu, Pu, Gold (gold key wins)

Gold, Pu, Pu, Pu, Pu (gold key wins)

"Although there are several situations that are the same here, you have also seen that the probability of winning by choosing a common key is 2/3!" Liang Xia looked at her own statistics and was momentarily excited.

"Although I always feel that there is something wrong with your algorithm..." Li Yue rubbed his forehead and didn't have the patience to correct him, "However, how can we prove that the prefect will definitely choose the common key?"

"In that case, who can guarantee that Ye Shuo will definitely choose the golden key?" Tan Taijing also pointed out.

Liang Xia tapped the back of her head, trying to run her train of thought:

"The prefect said at the beginning that the choice of ordinary keys was to guarantee the bottom line. He knew that in this way, we would definitely choose the golden key with confidence. But once there are more than two people who choose the golden key, the golden key party will lose. Instead, we will choose the ordinary key. The key is safer. Others can think of what he can think of, so someone will definitely choose the ordinary key. In this case, he himself may choose the golden key..."

"Forget it, if it goes on like this, it will be endless." When Liang Xia continued to "reverse thinking", Tantai Jing finally got impatient and stood up decisively, "I also choose ordinary keys. It's settled."

After he left, only Li Yue and Liang Xia were left looking at each other.
