Chapter 58: Chapter 49 Two Smart People
Wang Billy looked at Chen Xiao.
With a disgustingly wide grin, Chen Xiao’s face was filled with excitent.
“What on earth is he going to do now? Hasn’t he already won?”
Suddenly, it seed like he understood sothing… and he was stunned for a mont.
“He’s truly insane!” Wang Billy thought to himself.
He shrugged his shoulders as if to say, do whatever you want, and said, “Good luck!”
Then, he glanced at Chen Xiao’s phone screen.
A “ding” sounded.
The system voice activated.
System alert: “As you have violated the rules by looking at another person’s phone, you are hereby notified that you have been eliminated.”
…
Just like that, Wang Billy was eliminated.
…
“Hehehehehe….” Chen Xiao chuckled happily, turning his head to look at “Glasses Man.”
“Now it’s just the two of us left…”
As he spoke, he excitedly crouched down and edged closer to Glasses Man, like a kid eager for a new toy.
By then, the four minutes to choose a color had passed, and he had chosen a color—whether it was “black” or “white”…
It no longer mattered.
Now, only two people remained, so the ga’s pace shifted to another extrely simple yet perilously dangerous path.
You and !
Deceive or be deceived!
“Why would you do this?” Glasses Man squinted his eyes and asked lightly.
Indeed, Chen Xiao’s move was perplexing since Wang Billy was the sole reason he and Glasses Man had to stick together and trust each other. As long as Wang Billy was there, they had to agree and trust one another. But Chen Xiao had made Wang Billy break the rules and get eliminated on his own turn. It was as if he had torn that bond apart.
Directly turning two utterly trusting friends into mortal enemies.
Chen Xiao chuckled, “Because I lied…”
Glasses Man didn’t speak; he seed to be waiting for Chen Xiao to finish. But after half a second, he realized that Chen Xiao didn’t intend to continue.
“That’s it? You gave up your sure chance of winning just for that?” he asked, his tone clearly amused.
Chen Xiao nodded as if it were the most natural thing to do,
He found the man with glasses in front of him incredibly interesting, even reminding him a bit of the first ti he t “Angel.”
During the entire ga, he had only lied once, after specifically telling Chen Xiao before lying, “You’re going to deceive !”
It was almost like a provocation.
And Chen Xiao, in the penultimate round in order to eliminate the electric pole, lied and thus he lost.
It was as if when you slap soone, you should expect a slap back. So things have to be reciprocated.
“So… what’s my color?” Chen Xiao asked excitedly.
“White!” Glasses Man said with a smile.
Chen Xiao chuckled too, thinking, “Even now you don’t want to deceive anyone?”
And clicked: “White!”
System alert: Congratulations, correct choice!
Chen Xiao seed to know he would choose correctly, so he didn’t bother about his result at all, and imdiately asked the other person, “You asked one question, so now it’s my turn… How did you know from the first round that Wang Billy had his own rules? He hadn’t revealed much then.”
Glasses Man wasn’t surprised at all that Chen Xiao made the right choice.
He answered, “I didn’t know; I just thought it was a possibility, and the likelihood was less than one-third.”
Chen Xiao was stunned, “So you just dared to gamble like that?”
Glasses Man tapped his glasses twice and smiled, “Of course… because…”
“I can afford to gamble!”
Chen Xiao’s mouth hung open slightly, thinking, “Hey, are you being that cocky? Talking as if you don’t care at all about a C-level item.”
Suddenly, Chen Xiao thought of sothing.
“Did you just start saying… you’re new here?”
The bespectacled man appeared even happier, the corners of his mouth turned up as he said, “That is another question.”
Chen Xiao nodded and said, “Black!”
The bespectacled man didn’t hesitate for a second and directly chose “black.”
System prompt: “Congratulations, you have chosen correctly.”
“Hehehe… I didn’t expect this ga to be so interesting,” Chen Xiao said with a giggle, “But an hour is really too short! Only the last round left.”
As he spoke, he looked at the bespectacled man, as if trying to see sothing in his squinting eyes.
“I’ve said, I hate people who squint their eyes, right?… So, this is the last round! It’s your turn to trick ! Don’t let this ga end in a pathetic tie, okay?”
“Hehehe…”
“Hahahaha—”
Chen Xiao burst out laughing, appearing to others like soone beyond any psychiatric help.
The bespectacled man wore no expression, and he calmly said, “You always have to delve into sothing.”
Chen Xiao was still laughing, unresponsive.
The bespectacled man didn’t mind and continued, “Victory! The feeling of being on top! The thrill of possessing powerful weapons! Or sothing else? You made Wang Billy lose the ga, proving you’ve accepted the consequences of failure, but there must be a reason, right. Don’t tell
it’s because you couldn’t accept losing like a little child.”
…
…
“Interesting!” Chen Xiao said.
“Eh?” The bespectacled man was taken aback.
Chen Xiao continued, “Interesting! That’s what I pursue. Things that can make one laugh with joy, that’s what I am chasing.”
As he spoke, he pointed to his mouth, stretching it into a wide grin as if to say,
“Look… I am smiling!”
“Interesting??” the bespectacled man muttered to himself, then thought for a mont: “Hehe! Interesting!!”
He too started laughing, still elegant, but clearly joyful from the heart.
Chen Xiao watched him and smiled as well, then reminded, “Hey… it’s almost ti!”
The bespectacled man turned sideways, his elbow propping up the armrest of the chair and his thumb pressing against his temple.
His index finger rhythmically tapped the temple of his glasses.
He was accustod to this posture.
But he didn’t go to choose a color…
Chen Xiao suddenly stopped smiling, realizing what the other party was about to do.
So he panicked a bit.
“Hey! What are you doing?” he said. “You can’t do this!!!”
The bespectacled man ignored him.
“Damn! How can you… This is the last round! You… you jerk!” Chen Xiao glared at him, furious. It was as if the thrill of a sprint had abruptly ended, like the last delicious bite being snatched away.
Caught in a limbo.
The agony of longing.
Burning with desire.
Fury unbounded.
The bespectacled man’s smile remained, and as he watched Chen Xiao get angry, he calmly said, “You’re very smart. But being just smart isn’t enough!”
Chen Xiao frowned.
The bespectacled man continued, “Like this ga, I can do whatever I want, I dare to bet everything on less than a one-third chance, but you can’t. Not because you aren’t smart enough, but because smartness requires external support.”
Chen Xiao didn’t speak, knowing what this bespectacled guy was about to say.
“Just like now, you’re very angry, very distressed, but you are helpless. It has nothing to do with being smart; it’s a matter of disparity. So all you can do is watch as I forcefully suppress your excitent.”
“Being smart is just being smart, but wisdom, it doesn’t only rely on the brain.”
“You know what I an.”
