Chapter 1380: Chapter 1381: This is the restaurant
Such a simple answer obviously couldn’t satisfy Xu Huo and the others, so Zhou Donghe shared so more information.
First of all, the restaurant’s selection at night is random, and it only chooses from the guests who ordered at dishes during the day. Not everyone has a chance to go.
Next, the dayti dishes might be normal, but nightti ones are uncertain, making voting at night even more difficult.
"You dare to eat the dishes during the day, but would you dare at night?" He glanced at the three people. "Where do you think the bodies of people killed by the restaurant staff at night are disposed of?"
The fact that human ingredients were mixed into the dishes was expected by Xu Huo and the others, but if there wasn’t a single normal dish on the night nu, it ant they had no choice but to eat it.
"What happens if we don’t eat?" Dai Song asked.
"Not eating will definitely result in failing to clear the ga," Zhou Donghe shrugged. "I originally thought there might be a chance for success at night, but it turns out to be even harder than during the day."
"Actually, I don’t think it needs to be so complicated," said a female player standing not far away, addressing everyone. "Since it’s about selecting and evaluating dishes, just follow the normal voting procedure."
So people in the restaurant turned around, but before the female player could say more, a middle-aged man at the table next to her mocked her, "Is it your place to speak? Are you desperate for attention?"
"This friend, we’re all here to clear the ga. You should be more polite," the female player’s companion said, but was cut off again by the middle-aged man with a retort, "Shut up, sissy!"
This infuriated them, causing the table in front of the middle-aged man to get flipped over in an instant. The female player and her companion pursued the retreating man, blocking his movent from both sides. Just as the three were about to clash, an invisible force bent their knees, forcing them to kneel on the ground!
But this scene only lasted for less than three seconds. Perhaps intentionally giving them a chance, the suppressed trio quickly broke free and scattered, their eyes locked on a gentlemanly dressed man not far from them.
This man was very young, seemingly just in his early twenties. Compared to other players, his well-grood appearance and outstanding deanor made him more suited to the restaurant setting.
The gentlemanly man put down his teacup and smiled at them, "Since the lady has spoken, there’s no harm in hearing her out. We might clear the ga sooner."
The reason the middle-aged man dared to provoke the two female players was that he already had them figured out, but this man before him was clearly stronger. He wasn’t stupid, so he crossed his arms and stood in a "let’s hear it out then" posture, giving himself a way to exit gracefully.
The female player and her companion didn’t dwell on it and got straight to the point.
"Since it’s a voting selection for dishes, normally the dish with the most votes should win. However, we noticed yesterday near the voting box that the Plum Blossom at Pie didn’t actually have the most votes."
"But the Plum Blossom at Pie was chosen as the ’Dish of the Day’, indicating other dishes were eliminated for other reasons."
"In my view, there are two reasons for elimination: cheating or insufficient votes."
"Cheating is understandable, as it’s simply agreeing in advance on what to vote for."
"Insufficient votes simply ans soone’s votes are invalid."
"In what situation would votes be invalid?" The gentlemanly man asked the question everyone was wondering about at the right ti.
The voting process is completely non-transparent, and no one knows how the results ca about.
"There were many repeat voters yesterday," the female player said. "Including the Plum Blossom at Pie, since this dish wasn’t invalidated, it ans repeat voting does not eliminate a dish; it likely only nullifies the votes of the person who repeated their vote."
"Now that we know this, everyone just needs to avoid repeat voting."
In a normal voting process, this would be correct, but this is an instance, and no one believes the voting could be that straightforward.
The female player, however, said, "Maybe the way to clear the ga is really simple. Perhaps everyone is overthinking it, and because there are so many of us, we can’t agree, making it difficult to clear. We could try my suggestion first, and see if we can clear it by tonight."
"If we can’t cheat in voting, there’s no way to agree on which dish to vote for, right?" the middle-aged man said lightly.
"This can also be simple." The female player didn’t explain clearly but sat back down and ordered a at dish, also signaling for her friend to order the sa. This way, everyone would be eating the sa at dish, and the outco would be singular. Whether others voted for different dishes, voted multiple tis, or abstained, it wouldn’t affect the result.
"For players who co later, they’ll understand as soon as they see what’s on our tables."
"Even if a few don’t cooperate, it won’t change the final result."
If this is truly how the voting selection works, then this thod would indeed be the simplest and most convenient.
"This is a Rank-C Random Copy. If it were so easy to clear, the death rate in random copies wouldn’t be so high." The middle-aged man continued to oppose, casting a disdainful glance at the two female players, "Naive!"
The female player’s cheeks tightened, ready to argue again, but the gentlemanly man sighed, "This thod won’t clear the ga."
"How would you know without trying?" The female player was unconvinced.
The gentlemanly man didn’t say more but summoned a waiter to order food, choosing different dishes in addition to the one the female player ordered.
Many players, tempted by the female player’s words, reconsidered, though so remained indifferent.
Xu Huo called in a waiter to ask for today’s recomnded dishes.
Dai Song and the other three at the table looked at him, thinking it unnecessary, as many had asked for recomnded dishes yesterday, but the waiters’ answers were inconsistent.
Xu Huo ordered the waiter’s recomnded dishes, both at and vegetarian, and suggested the others try it too.
Unclear about his intentions, Dai Song, his ally, and Li Kun, who lacked companions, considered following him; Zhou Donghe had no choice.
During this, the table with Maris and others remained silent, but after Xu Huo tasted the dishes brought to them, he also recomnded them.
Maris was the first to react. The sa process ensued: ask the waiter, then with Xu Huo’s order, adding the female player’s dish for safety.
People in the restaurant started ordering in twos and threes. So ordered fewer, others more, but overall, single-dish orders were more common.
"Why not try that thod?" Only after the restaurant got lively again did Dai Song ask Xu Huo, after even Maris had placed an order.
"That thod probably wouldn’t clear the ga," Xu Huo said blandly. "’Dish of the Day’ is based on selection by excellence. If many people uniformly vote, it’s cheating, and eating just one dish is almost the sa. Most importantly, this is a restaurant."
