The Second Round of Pressure
Chapter 583 The Second Round of Pressure
Wu Wang looked at the pitch-black dome in front of him.
It prevents other players from seeing how many chips they have left.
But just like everyone starts with the same number of chips.
In fact, the amount of chips they consumed and the amount of chips they had left during the first and second rounds could be calculated.
The real change and the deepening of the game will begin in the transaction phase after the second round.
Because once the trading of chips begins.
No one can tell how many chips each other has.
In other words, this second round of process can be considered as the initial accumulation before the start of a transaction.
The more chips you hold in this process, the more say you have in the transaction.
call--
The second round of speeches has officially begun.
The beautiful woman pointed her head at Tiger, who had just spoken.
This surprised him for a moment.
I never expected to be so unlucky; it was my turn to speak again so quickly.
He flipped open the topic card that had been spit out in front of him.
It says--
Please tell me the most absurd lie you've ever told.
In response to this topic, Brother Tiger presented a red lie.
He began by saying, "When I was in elementary school, I liked to daydream. I fooled twenty classmates by saying that I was a hybrid alien, and even showed them my birthmark as evidence."
"As a result, these guys not only believed it, but also formed a fan club for me. Even after I graduated from college, some friends still remembered and mentioned it."
"Even after I grew up, they still made fun of me."
Upon hearing this, everyone, including the young man from the white fox, fell silent.
The topic card itself is meant to tell an absurd lie, and Tiger Brother is using the red lie chip.
He could easily add a few lies to this absurd content.
After all, there are just too many things in this whole incident that need to be verified.
They weren't that familiar with each other.
Judging the veracity of such statements based solely on impressions from the previous round of speeches is far too difficult.
Snapped--
However, just as everyone was about to observe and learn more...
A white neutral chip was tossed onto the table.
That was a bet placed by Wu Wang.
He grinned and said, "Questioning."
"I doubt that your description of this incident is true, Brother Tiger, even down to the exact number of people involved."
"You're just a little uneasy because you were analyzed by the White Fox before, and you also used up one of your truth-telling chips."
"I want to take a gamble and do things against the intuition that White Fox analyzed. Maybe I can earn a neutral chip to talk about later."
"Trying to use lies as leverage to tell the truth and get away with it? It's not that easy."
These words made Tiger's expression turn slightly unpleasant.
The next second, the beautiful woman spoke up: "Question successful!"
"Fact check - According to surveillance footage from Tiger's elementary school years, he did indeed tell this lie to twenty classmates, and the classmates even created an online group chat to form a fan club. At a reunion after graduating from university, restaurant surveillance footage also showed that someone brought up the matter again as a joke during conversations at the table."
"Conclusion—Using lies as leverage without including any false elements violates the rules; the challenge is successful!"
All the statements made were traceable!
Tiger deliberately used this highly variable statement to deter others from questioning him!
Unfortunately, Wu Wang was completely unaffected by pressure.
As soon as the other person finished speaking, Wu Wang’s sudden realization clearly told him that these words were all true.
At least from the tiger's subjective judgment, it is entirely true.
So he simply considered whether the information that could be verified through monitoring and network traces was complete.
They then easily began to raise questions.
All I can say is that this guy's imagination was very rich, but reality was very harsh.
You have your clever strategies, and I have my shortcuts (external cheat codes).
"Ding--"
"Tiger's current chip count: 1 for truth, 1 for lies, and 3 for neutrality."
Surprisingly, when Wu Wang successfully questioned the truth, he received one blue truth chip.
He also heard the voice of that beautiful woman's head.
He told Tiger Brother about his current chip composition.
However, the beautiful woman on the round table did not say anything.
This made Wu Wang raise an eyebrow and grin.
I see……
There are hidden rules too!
Whenever a challenge is successfully raised, not only can you obtain the truth from the other party, but you can also learn how much leverage they have under their protection.
It seems that once the trading begins, in order to better assess the situation on the field, it will be necessary to question others more.
Risk and reward go hand in hand.
Tiger Brother and White Fox Youth, who had previously successfully questioned this rule, must have also noticed it.
They just haven't said it yet.
If others don't dare to question or perceive this rule, they will never be able to predict the changes in the chips on the field once the trading begins.
call--
This time it was the old mammoth's turn to speak.
He opened the topic card and it showed—
Please describe the decision you regret the most.
This time, the old man pushed out a white neutral chip and said, "I regret that I once chose a stable life."
"I had many opportunities to seek wealth and fortune in danger, but I never dared to choose them."
"This also made me timid and hesitant to fight for more benefits after I became a player, and I only thought about surviving."
If you want to question a neutral party, you have to figure out whether they are telling the truth or lying.
Wu Wang and the young man with the white fox both chose to remain silent.
Others were naturally unsure as well.
All we can do is wait for the ten seconds of questioning to slowly pass.
Actually, [the person] realized that the other person was telling the truth.
But Wu Wang thought of something else—objective verification.
Although the old mammoth was not as clever as the young white fox, he was still quite good at using known rules to protect himself.
All of his statements were based on subjective judgment.
Because, in essence, the old man mammoth did not give a precise answer on any particular issue.
The choice between a stable life and not choosing risky opportunities.
All of these are his own thoughts, and there is absolutely no way to judge them based on objective and recordable information.
It's hard to say whether Wu Wang would judge such things as true or false in the game.
As he said before, subjective traits are the safe zone for speaking with white neutral chips.
The young man from White Fox probably took this into consideration, which is why he didn't raise any questions.
call--
The next speaker is Miss Sika Deer.
The topic card is: "Please tell me something you almost did."
"I've always wanted to be braver, but I've never been able to."
"That way, you won't be as afraid when you encounter problems as you are now."
She also offered the same red lie as the bargaining chip, and stated her clear subjective desires.
It seems that most people have started using the safe zone for speaking.
Wu Wang did not respond to this.
After a moment of contemplation, the young man with the white fox tossed out a white neutral chip and said, "Question."
After saying that, he made no further move.
They simply raised questions without providing any reasons.
The beautiful woman quickly gave her verdict: "Questioning failed."
"Fact Check—The degree to which the 'I hope' and 'be braver' expressed by the sika deer are subjective desires and cannot be objectively verified. Based on the sika deer's trembling body and tone at this time, it can be preliminarily judged that she was not afraid." "Conclusion—Using lies as leverage and including false elements, which meets the rules, the challenge fails."
Sure enough, once it involves content that cannot be objectively verified, it is easily judged as a failed challenge.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the young man with the white fox's questioning fail.
Looks like this guy can't always guess right.
Only Wu Wang sensed a slight unease.
No, this guy definitely doesn't seem like the type to be so careless.
He's plotting something.
Next up was the speaker – Ms. Du Juan.
Please name one promise you made to someone.
That's interesting. If you're making a promise to someone, you have to speak or send a message.
In this way, the matter can be objectively verified.
However, having learned her lesson the hard way, Miss Dujuan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:
“I promised my clients that I would protect their privacy and refuse to testify.”
"This is a lawyer's professional ethics."
"I will continue to keep this promise in the future."
She used the blue truth chip in this statement!
Logically, no one should question the bargaining chip of telling the truth.
Unexpectedly, the young man with the white fox threw out another chip, saying, "Question."
This time, he threw out a red lie as a bargaining chip.
Similarly, no reason was given, only simple questioning.
The beautiful woman's head provides the judgment.
"Questioning failed!"
"Fact check - The statement involves future behavioral intentions. The future is unpredictable and cannot be objectively verified. Based on professional ethics and Ms. Du Juan's historical behavioral patterns, there is a high probability that the intention is true."
"Conclusion - Using the truth as leverage and not containing any falsehoods complies with the rules, therefore the challenge failed."
Future plans!
As mentioned before, Ms. Du Juan is a highly capable lawyer.
It's understandable that she would make similar promises to her clients.
The trap she set was in the last sentence about future intentions, which is something that cannot be objectively verified.
"That's not right..."
"You shouldn't have fallen for it; the trap is too obvious."
Wu Wang looked at the white fox youth's face, which was as expressionless as a robot's.
Trying to figure out what the other person is thinking.
But this guy only has the word "white fox" on his mind.
The "Vision of Truth" makes it completely impossible to see their inner thoughts.
call--
This time, the beautiful woman's head was aimed at Wu Wang, who was deep in thought.
Please explain how you came to believe in or disbelieve in fate.
This topic card is getting more and more interesting.
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and tossed out a white neutral chip.
He said calmly, "My family used to take me to the temple to worship."
"An old monk said that I have a noble destiny and that my future achievements will be no less than being crowned emperor."
"His words later proved true."
"I worked as a food delivery driver for Meituan during my university years, and I was always running around in a yellow shirt."
"I've believed in fate ever since."
These words made everyone a little nervous.
Miss Deer's suppressed laughter was even more difficult to conceal.
Clearly, everyone could tell he was talking nonsense.
But no one placed any bets to question it, after all, who knows which sentence this guy might have set a trap for.
Snapped--
The young man with the white fox again threw out a red chip and said, "Question."
"I think you are telling the truth by using neutral chips."
Wu Wang: "?"
Unsurprisingly, the assessment given by the beautiful woman's head is:
"The challenge failed."
"Fact check - According to the surveillance footage, Mr. Black Crow did indeed visit the temple, but the prediction was what he told the old monk. He also sneaked into the temple that night and replaced all the monks' robes and kasayas with Meituan delivery uniforms, and dressed the old monk in a yellow robe. Furthermore, Mr. Black Crow's past behavior has not shown any belief in fate."
"Conclusion - the lie told using neutral chips was not guessed correctly, and according to the rules, the challenge failed."
Everyone: ?
It was a password; I thought you were telling a joke.
After all, what old monk would give such a prediction?
So, it turns out you were the one who told that old monk, right? You even swapped other people's clothes and put on the yellow robe.
Are you even human?
However, faced with such a scene...
Wu Wang squinted at the white fox youth and said, "You should know very well that people like us would never believe in such things as fate. Why did you deliberately guess wrong? Are you intentionally giving away your chips?"
That's why he said such flawed things.
Wu Wang wanted to verify whether the other party was deliberately losing chips.
Now that I see it, it's indeed true.
Considering this guy's previous perfunctory questions.
The opponent now only has 2 truth chips left.
All the chips for lying and the chips for neutrality have been reduced to zero.
Facing the upcoming transaction.
This is hardly a favorable situation.
Given his judgment, it's absolutely impossible for him to make a mistake of this level.
What exactly does he want to do?
White Fox Youth offered no explanation for this.
He simply waited silently for the beautiful woman to take the lead.
Now he's the only one left who hasn't spoken in this round.
Please describe your core competencies when facing problems.
Now, the young man from the White Fox can only use the token of truth to speak, which means he has no room to lie.
My core competency is—
"A strategy that can make the best probability when information is incomplete."
"And this is a judgment based on rational data models, rather than a blind speculation based on intuition."
This statement sounds slightly arrogant.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Du Juan immediately threw out a white neutral chip as a bet.
He said coldly, "Questioning."
"I don't think anyone can guarantee that they will make the best strategy in every problem,"
"I refuse to believe you're always right!"
This statement also elicited silent nods from the others.
Yes, how could anyone always make the optimal choice?
If such a person really existed, wouldn't he be a god?
"The challenge failed."
Everyone: ?
The beautiful woman's equally calm voice caught them somewhat off guard.
What does it mean to fail in questioning?
Is it really possible for someone to always make the optimal choice?
At that moment, the white fox youth's expression seemed to remain unchanged.
It became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable in their minds.
Who exactly is this person?
