Chapter 036 Rock Paper Scissors
The store manager blinked.
"What rumors have you heard?"
"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to bet with me."
"If we really want to bet, I won't let you win." The store manager's eyes lit up, "If you lose, I'll kill you. Are you sure you want to bet with me?"
Gu Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
(Deduction begins!)
(You open your eyes and nod vigorously.)
(Store Manager: "Okay, let's gamble. I'm very busy right now and don't have time to play cards with you. Let's gamble on something simpler.")
(You: “What are you betting on?”)
(Store Manager: "Rock, Paper, Scissors. Best of three.")
(You: “So… simple?”)
(Store Manager: “You don’t have time to regret it.”)
(You: “Okay, come on.”)
(You and the store manager play rock-paper-scissors.)
(You lose two games in a row.)
(The store manager pulls out a gun and blows your head off.)
(My eyes turned blood red.)
(you are dead.)
(The deduction is over!)
What the hell?
Is it because I'm just unlucky?
"Are you going to answer it or not?"
"Wait!"
Gu Yi ignored the store manager's urging and continued to deduce.
Since the time he had just spent on deduction was too short, he was unable to activate the function of back-deduction. He could only spend 10 points of mental energy to deduce again.
(Deduction begins!)
(You accepted the store manager's invitation to make a bet.)
(Store Manager: "I'm very busy now and don't have time to play cards with you. Let's play something simpler. Rock, Paper, Scissors, best of three.")
(You: “Okay, let’s do it.”)
(You play Scissors, the store manager plays Cloth.)
(A drop of cold sweat drips from your forehead.)
(You: “ Wait a minute.”)
(Store Manager: “What’s wrong?”)
(You: “Put on a blindfold and cover your eyes.”)
(Store Manager: "Tsk, fine. But to be fair, you have to cover your eyes, too.")
(You: “No problem.”)
(You and the store manager put on the blindfold together.)
(You think the store manager’s hand-eye reaction ability is better than yours, so he can punch and defeat himself at the last moment, which is why he can defeat himself every time.)
(You, store manager: "Rock, paper, scissors.")
(Store Manager: “Are you ready?”)
(You: “Yes.”)
(Store Manager: "Then let's take off the blindfolds.")
(You offer the stone, the store manager offers the cloth.)
(The store manager sneered, took out a gun and shot your head off.)
(Your eyes turn red.)
(you are dead.)
(The deduction is over!)
Gu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the store manager in surprise.
The store manager also looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"
"No, nothing."
Gu Yi shook his head and continued to deduce.
(Deduction begins!)
(You close your eyes and think for a moment.)
(Rock, paper, scissors is basically a game of luck. If there is any skill involved, it is only a test of hand-eye speed.)
(However, when I was just doing this, neither the store manager nor I opened our eyes, which was enough to rule out this possibility.)
(Could it be that the store manager's luck is really amazing?)
(Store Manager: “What’s wrong with you?”)
(You: “Nothing, I want to make a bet with you.”)
(Store Manager: "Since you insist, let's make a simple bet. Rock, paper, scissors, best of three.")
(You: “Wait, I want best of five.”)
(Store Manager: "It's the same no matter how many rounds you play, are you sure?")
(you sure.")
(You nodded. You have to come a few more times to be sure how the store manager cheats.)
(You lost two games in a row.)
(Store Manager: “You only have one last chance.”)
(You: “Can you read minds?”)
(Store Manager: “Humph, what can you do now that you know?”)
(Your mental strength is strong enough. You clear your mind and play rock-paper-scissors with the shop owner again in an unconscious state.)
(You still lose.)
(Store Manager: "I'm sorry, little brother, you used to be a very good poker partner.")
(The store manager pulls out a pistol.)
(You terminate the game.)
Gu Yi opened his eyes and stared at the store manager in front of him.
The store manager blinked and looked at Gu Yi in confusion, "I don't think I have ever offended you? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I see your trick."
"What?"
"Come on, let's get down to business. I want to make a bet with you. If you win, I'll take away a pig head mask."
"Okay, I have other things to do and don't have time to play cards with you. Let's play something simpler. Rock, paper, scissors, best of three."
"No need to win two out of three games, the winner will be decided in one game."
"you sure?"
The store manager looked at Gu Yi in surprise.
"Sure, come on."
"good ."
The scissors produced by Gu Yi.
The store manager sells cloth.
One game decides the outcome.
The store manager looked at Gu Yi in surprise and asked blankly, "How is that possible? You clearly came up with the idea of stone."
"You can read my mind the moment I throw a punch, right? Even if I'm empty-headed, as soon as I throw a punch, you can tell what I'm thinking."
"That's right."
"So, I hypnotized myself." Gu Yi said while making the scissors hand gesture, "I told myself that this is not scissors, but rock, and you really fell for it."
"How is that possible? Normal people wouldn't change decades of habits so easily."
"Because I'm not a normal person."
Gu Yi grinned.
With the ability of infinite deduction, Gu Yi's mental strength is no longer comparable to that of normal people. He completed this technique of giving himself psychological suggestion almost in an instant.
Gu Yi and the store manager played a game to decide the outcome because he was worried that the store manager would immediately change his strategy after knowing his tricks.
As long as you succeed in stealing a chicken once, you don’t need to take risks again.
The store manager sighed, his eyes showing his admiration for Gu Yi, "You are really amazing."
"Just luck."
"Come in with me."
The store manager took Gu Yi to the store's warehouse, where he found an unopened pig head mask among a pile of debris and handed it to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi held the mask and asked curiously, "Why is there no instruction manual for this mask?"
"It's not just any mask, it's the first mask Toto made himself."
"Who is Toto?"
Gu Yi pretended not to know.
"She is an unspeakable presence in this hospital, but please remember that she is your compatriot. That's all I can say. Open it and take a look."
Gu Yi nodded and opened the packaging bag of the pig head mask.
The pig head mask is lifelike and looks like it is made of a real pig head.
Gu Yi looked left and right, and finally found a line of bloody clues on the inner lining of the pig head mask.
“When I took the mask off, I finally saw everything clearly.”
“Everything has a hidden price tag.”
“Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch.”
"Equivalent exchange is the only principle you need to abide by."
