[Clown: Touch-Activated Neutral]
[Note: If you lose a ga to him, you will die... unless he can't beat you!]
[Weakness: Not obvious.]
[Objective: Wants to revive his family business.]
[Known Ability: Has wallhack when eyes are open.]
...
This is the data on the Clown.
Zhao Yi understood why the Clown could always perfectly predict others' rock-paper-scissors moves.
He wasn't relying on guessing at all.
He was cheating with his ability.
Zhao Yi didn't expose the Clown because it wouldn't help to do so.
The third round of rock-paper-scissors began.
According to Xiang Weishan's information, this ti, the Clown would definitely choose scissors.
So if Zhao Yi wanted to win, he had to choose rock.
The teammates beside him clearly knew this too, but none of them voiced their opinions. They knew very well that words from Xiang Weishan's mouth weren't necessarily reliable.
Maybe Xiang Weishan was telling the truth, but it was also possible he just wanted to get Zhao Yi killed, so he casually gave false information.
Since they couldn't be sure, they couldn't speak up and influence Zhao Yi's judgnt.
In the eyes of the four, Zhao Yi was their greatest survival guarantee in this ga.
If even a freak like Zhao Yi couldn't figure out the Clown's weakness, then they were basically dood!
Zhao Yi didn't rush to play rock-paper-scissors but instead stared at the Clown Ghost across from him and said:
"Soone told on the way here that you'll choose scissors in the third round, is that true?"
The Clown Ghost smiled and said:
"I wasn't supposed to tell you the rules of this ga."
"But I like you, so I can give you a little hint."
"In the third and sixth rounds, I will choose a fixed move, and it won't change, but I can't tell you exactly what it is."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"That's enough."
He placed his hand into the black cloth.
The Clown also placed his hand into the black cloth.
Everyone held their breath, focusing intently on the situation on the field.
They were so tense that they could even hear their own heartbeats!
This was Zhao Yi's perfect opportunity to defeat the Clown Ghost!
So, what did Zhao Yi choose?
Was it rock?
The chanical arm slowly descended, gripping the two pieces of black cloth.
And it gripped everyone's hearts.
Suddenly, the black cloth was yanked up!
The Clown chose paper, while Zhao Yi chose scissors!
Zhao Yi wins!
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao Yi!"
The Clown seed very happy and extended his left hand's fingers, placing them into the cutter. The blade fell, and his fingers, along with black blood, splattered out!
"It seems... the guy outside deceived you."
This novel is available on ".
The Clown took out a handkerchief from his pocket and elegantly wiped the blood from his hand.
Zhao Yi nodded and said:
"Yeah! I'll definitely repay... him later."
The few people beside him couldn't help but roll their eyes at his words.
You let it slip, big brother!
The Clown curiously examined Zhao Yi, and even now, with two fingers cut off, Zhao Yi's face showed no sign of panic.
"Are you so sure... you can walk out of here alive?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and asked in return:
"And how are you so sure that I can't walk out of here alive?"
The Clown chuckled.
Zhao Yi extended his right index finger, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Clown, you like gambling, don't you?"
The Clown hesitated for a mont and nodded.
Zhao Yi continued:
"Why don't we add a new twist to this ga?"
"What kind of twist?"
"Well... I'll tell you in a bit."
The two continued with rock-paper-scissors.
In the fourth round, Zhao Yi lost.
In the fifth round, Zhao Yi lost.
In the sixth round, the Clown lost.
In the seventh round, Zhao Yi lost.
In the eighth round, Zhao Yi lost.
In the ninth round, Zhao Yi lost.
By the tenth round, Zhao Yi had only his middle finger left on his left hand, and his right hand had only the index and middle fingers remaining.
Looking at Zhao Yi's bloodied and miserable hands, the Clown showed a regretful expression.
"Mr. Zhao, it seems you've made a mistake in choosing which fingers to cut."
"With the fingers you have left, you can only choose scissors or rock."
Everyone looked at Zhao Yi's hand and fell silent.
The Clown wasn't wrong. If Zhao Yi had chosen to keep three fingers on his right hand for rock-paper-scissors, he could still choose paper.
But now, his right hand only had the index and middle fingers.
When Zhao Yi spread his fingers, it was scissors; when he clenched them, it was a fist.
He had lost the option of paper.
This ant the Clown was now invincible!
According to the rules, if the two players tied in rock-paper-scissors three tis in a row, the Clown would win.
In other words, as long as the Clown chose 'rock' three tis in a row, Zhao Yi would definitely lose!
Fang Bai and Bai Shuiji, sitting beside him, were pale, and Liu Han was sweating profusely!
If Zhao Yi died, the next one... would be them!
Tian Tian was still playing with her ragged teddy bear, occasionally letting out so laughter. She hadn't looked up the entire ti, seemingly unconcerned about the outco of the ga.
Zhao Yi's face still bore that sa smile, showing no sign of panic.
Only his face was a bit pale from blood loss.
He leisurely said to the Clown:
"Mr. Clown, do you rember I said... I wanted to add so fun to this ga?"
The Clown:
"Of course I rember!"
"Mr. Zhao, this is the last rock-paper-scissors ga. Although I like you very much, rules are rules... However, if you have an idea that doesn't break the rules and adds fun to the ga, I will let you choose a way to die that you like after the ga!"
Zhao Yi spoke slowly:
"Let's make a bet."
"What bet?"
"I bet I'll win the next round."
The Clown chuckled.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhao, I think you may not understand your current situation..."
"In your current state, it's impossible for you to win against ."
Zhao Yi continued:
"This bet cos with a condition... I want you to close your eyes."
"If I win... you owe a favor and have to do sothing within your power for ."
"If I lose, not only is my life yours, but I'll also give you sothing!"
With that, Zhao Yi took out Pandora's Box from his inventory, which he had brought from the previous dungeon!
...
[Item: Pandora's Box (Fake)]
[Quality: Blue]
[Description: Ta-da! This is a Poké Ball, you can use it to capture your own little Pokémon... Haha, I'm just kidding! This is actually a gift, and although it's just a replica, many specters still love its craftsmanship. If you give it to a non-human entity, it will greatly increase their favorability towards you!]
[Note: The specter inside has been cleared by the system, and reopening the magic box will have no effect.]
...
Seeing this box, a glint of possessiveness flashed in the Clown's eyes.
After a mont of silence, the Clown replied:
"No problem, Mr. Zhao."
"I'm willing to take this bet with you."
Zhao Yi smiled and tapped the table, saying:
"You can only open your eyes after the black cloth is lifted."
"Is that okay?"
The Clown nodded.
A free treasure, why not take it?
Given Zhao Yi's current situation... even without his wallhack ability, he couldn't possibly lose.
"Then Mr. Clown... please decide your rock-paper-scissors move first this ti, then put your hand into the black cloth and close your eyes."
The Clown didn't hesitate and imdiately clenched his hand into a fist, placing it into the black cloth.
Then he closed his eyes.
After waiting quietly for three seconds, Zhao Yi's voice sounded again.
"I'm ready too, Mr. Clown, please have your machine lift the black cloth."
The Clown snapped his fingers.
The chanical arm lifted the black cloth covering their hands.
Then, the Clown slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze fell on Zhao Yi's hand, and the eerie smile on his face froze.
"Sorry, Mr. Clown."
"I won."
Zhao Yi grinned.
The three teammates beside him shivered.
The hand lying quietly on the table, covered in blood... had no fingers left!
Because there were no fingers, Zhao Yi's move was paper!
And the Clown's move was rock.
In the tenth round, Zhao Yi... wins!
