Werewolf: I'm a natural showman, you win easily

Chapter 170: 12-Person Equation Paradox

[The MVP of this game is player No. 3]

The system's beep sounded in everyone's ears.

Most people have no objection to this.

Although Ren Fan did not perform any particularly brilliant operations in this round, he did manage to get the police badge, and he checked all the people he should check, including the dream catcher, witch, hunter, and prophet.

The key point was that in the later stage, he pushed down a good guy and won a crucial round for the Wolves. In fact, the good guy lost in this round.

With the last knife, Ren Fan won the bet with the knife, which was another big plus point. All in all, he was the MVP.

As for the other three wolves, they were much worse than him.

There is no need to say much about Hidden Wolf. He charged too hastily, was pushed out of the game and even laughed. No matter what happened, he would never be the MVP.

It’s hard to describe how Little Wolf played this game. There were four Christmas Eves, two of which were related to him. He almost killed the gargoyle. It was good enough that he could win. What did he care about the bicycle?

Wolf Crow Claw originally had a chance to win the MVP, but he was tricked by the witch on Christmas Eve, his swordsmanship was terrible, and he insisted on killing gods when he should have killed ordinary people, which led to the wolf team almost losing, so he was not qualified to win the MVP.

By this calculation, only Ren Fan played well. Maybe his only flaw was that he resisted player No. 11 on the second day, but that was not his problem. All the good guys wanted to play No. 11. Did he dare to say no?

Soon, the points ranking was updated again.

Ren Fan is still the first place with a total score of 18.

The second place originally belonged to player No. 9, but now it belongs to player No. 7, with a total score of 12.

The third player, No. 1, has a total score of 9.

The last one is player No. 2, who has lost two games in a row.

As for player No. 4 who messed with Ren Fan's mentality, he ranked ninth with a total score of 5.

"Wow, the gaps between the first and second place, and the second and third place are all cliff-like. As long as player No. 3 doesn't get any points in the next round, he will definitely be in the top three."

"Don't worry, brother. I'm a fan of Ren Fan. He's not 100% sure to advance yet. If he continues to be targeted, and the second and third place players play normally, and the fourth place player makes another effort and gets the MVP, then he may still drop to fourth place."

"Well, you have too many restrictions. I'll just leave it at that. Player No. 3 will advance to the next round."

"Brothers, I've heard inside information. The fourth round will be an offline competition. All players will go to Jinghai. There will be a live broadcast and player visits. It's time for Ren Fan to show up, right? I've watched him live for three months, but I don't know what he looks like."

"I guess he's very ugly, otherwise why wouldn't he dare show his face, hahahaha."

"What are you talking about, brother? Even though he has never shown his face, there are photos of him on the Internet. Isn't it difficult to search for it?"

"Sorry, I don't trust you to take pictures!"

"This is the last one. If nothing unexpected happens, it feels like something unexpected is going to happen."

"Crow, shut up."

"It seems that this group will not be broadcasting next time. I heard from them that player No. 3 is a live streamer. Can you tell me the room number, please? Thank you."

"Oh my god, I don't want to watch other groups. The people in this group are quite to my liking."

"I've only played the equation paradox board once, and it was so confusing the whole time that I didn't know what to say. It was so taxing."

"..."

There was no halftime break and the third game began again.

[All players, please note that the third round of the fourth group of the third stage of the Champions Cup Challenge online auditions has officially begun]

[This game's board is the 12-player equation paradox]

【Board configuration】

[Good Camp: Mathematician + Witch + Hunter + Gravekeeper + Four Civilians]

[Werewolf Camp: Trickster Wolf + Three Ordinary Werewolves]

[Speech time: three minutes]

[Witch: You can’t save yourself in the whole process]

[There is a sheriff. The sheriff has the right to return the vote, which gives him 0.5 more votes and seconds of speaking time.]

[Double explosion swallowing police badge]

"My goodness, this is an equation paradox. It's going to burn my brain out."

When Ren Fan heard the system say that the board of this game was an equation paradox, he suddenly felt a headache.

If the difficulty of the first game's Crow Hidden Wolf is one star and Eyeless Night is three stars, then the Equation Paradox board can be called four and a half stars, which is almost the top difficulty.

The main reason is that this board does not have a prophet, so you have to do deep thinking on the first day. Although the mathematician has a function similar to verifying people, it is almost the same as having nothing, because the verification information reported by this card is not very reliable.

The Mathematician's skill is that starting from the second night, he can check whether two players are in the same camp at the same time.

If they are in the same camp, then the "equality holds", if they are not in the same camp, then the "equality does not hold".

And when the mathematician first checks that the "equation is not true", he will gain a shield that only affects himself the next night, similar to the guard effect of a guard.

But this shield is only effective for the next night and disappears automatically afterwards.

There are several points to note here.

First of all, the mathematician's skills can only be used on the second night, and the first night is in a sealed state. In this way, the good guys have to fight hard on the first day.

This is definitely a huge advantage and opportunity for the werewolves. After all, they know each other, can cooperate with each other, and it is easier for them to set the pace and resist the good guys.

It is very difficult for the good guys to get rid of the wolf. Even if they click on the right wolf, it will be defeated by other werewolves later, because werewolves can protect each other and it is impossible for them to watch their teammates being pushed out.

Secondly, a mathematician can only obtain one shield in the entire game, that is, when he verifies the "inequality" for the first time, the shield will not be generated again when he verifies it for the second time.

Therefore, it is very important to grasp the timing. Whether the shield can be utilized or wasted requires room for maneuver.

However, this shield also has limitations. It can only block knives but not poison, and it has the effect of both defending and saving at the same time.

Finally, mathematicians cannot check themselves, which is a clear difference from awakened prophets.

The awakened prophet also checks two people in one night, but he can choose one of them to be himself, which is equivalent to a single check.

But mathematicians can’t do that. Mathematicians cannot test themselves, nor can they test the same person repeatedly. It’s the same as a magician. Once you touch this person once, you can’t touch him again.

The new character corresponding to the mathematician in the werewolf camp is the Wile Wolf.

His skill is to use tricks. That night, the player who used tricks would have his camp changed to the opposite one when checked by the mathematician.

Take a simple example.

Assuming that player 1 is a good person and player 2 is a good person, it stands to reason that when a mathematician checks 1 and 2, the system should give the result that "the equation holds".

But if player 1 is attacked by the Wicked Wolf, the camp of player 1 will change, from the good guy camp to the werewolf camp, which will cause the original "equation is true" to become "equation is not true".

Similarly, if Player 1 is a wolf and Player 2 is a good guy, and Player 1 is tricked by the Wicked Wolf and his camp changes from werewolf to good guy, the equation will change from "not true" to "true".

This skill of the Strange Wolf is simply the natural enemy of the Mathematician. With it, the Mathematician is doomed.

Even if mathematicians prove that the equation is true, do you dare to say that these two people are in the same camp? Not necessarily.

On the other hand, if mathematicians prove that these two people are not in the same camp, does that mean they are definitely a wolf and a good guy? Not necessarily.

This is the part that gives good people a headache. The results from mathematicians' tests are untrustworthy. Who knows if there is a weird wolf causing trouble here?

Moreover, it is much more complicated for a mathematician to play with a police badge than a prophet. It is better not to have a police badge and secretly test people at night. This way, the possibility of being muddied by the Wrath of the Wolf is much smaller.

If the skill happens to hit you, there's nothing you can do. You're unlucky and you can't avoid it.

Fortunately, the Strange Wolf and the Little Wolf have never met. The Strange Wolf knows the identities of the other little wolves, but the little wolves do not know the Strange Wolf's identity.

This is a bit similar to the relationship between the hidden wolf and the little wolf. If things go wrong, the little wolf may become the big brother, and the good guy can also take advantage of this to pretend to be the big brother.

The skill of the Stingy Wolf can be used repeatedly on the same player, but it cannot be used on the same player for two consecutive nights. It is like guarding. You can guard the same person many times in a game, but you cannot guard the same person for two consecutive nights.

Moreover, the skill of the Wicked Wolf can only take effect once. Once it collides with the Mathematician, the skill will be gone.

In addition, the Stingy Wolf cannot self-destruct.

[Players please check your identity cards]

The system beep sounded again.

The card pool began to turn, and various identities quickly passed by Ren Fan's eyes, and finally stopped on the hunter.

Ren Fan was quite satisfied with this card, although he wanted the Wicked Wolf more, but the system was not powerful enough.

Besides, if he took the wraith wolf, he might be chopped to death by the little wolf on the first day. It would be embarrassing if the witch didn't prescribe medicine.

Even though he is far ahead in points now, he may still be overtaken in the last round.

Therefore, getting the Hunter Card is a guarantee for Ren Fan. Even if he gets the first blow and the witch is beyond help, he can still shoot and lead people.

As long as he leads the right wolf, this action alone is enough for him to compete for MVP. After all, if a hunter can kill a wolf by blindly leading it, it is a huge contribution to the good guys.

[Please confirm your identity card]

The system beep sounded again.

[Please close your eyes when it gets dark]

at the same time.

The number of people online in Ren Fan's live broadcast room suddenly increased by more than 100,000, most of whom came from the official live broadcast room.

After the live broadcast of Ren Fan and his team's review, the official live broadcast room switched to the first group's game, which forced many viewers to come to Ren Fan's live broadcast room to watch the game.

The influx of a large number of viewers caused Ren Fan's traffic to soar instantly, triggering the platform's recommendation, which in turn attracted more uninformed viewers to come in.

In just a few minutes, the number of followers of Ren Fan's live broadcast room increased by more than 10,000.

"I didn't expect that Player 3 is actually a live streamer, and a big one at that. There are people online at the same time in his live stream room. I've only seen this kind of scene in some super popular live streamers."

"Finally found the anchor. I like watching you play games. Let me send you a rocket to show my support."

"Oh my god, isn't this the guy who had a quarrel with the Rising Star Club a while ago? Who do I think he is?"

"This guy has been completely cleansed, and there is no such thing as a character collapse, because he rose to prominence by virtue of the collapse of his character."

"It's so funny. He became famous because of the collapse of the building. I remember that he became famous because of cursing people."

"With so many people coming here, isn't there a super popular one?"

"If you go first, I'll go first. You go first as a sign of respect, and I'll follow closely behind."

"..."

The night operation was quickly over.

After daybreak, it is time to report to the police.

[Whether this bureau chooses to call the police]

【Yes】

[No] Ren Fan chose "yes" without hesitation. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't go to the police.

It didn't take long for the police report to come out.

【本局选择上警的玩家为1号、2号、3号、4号、5号、7号、8号、9号、11号、12号，共十位玩家，随机从1号玩家开始顺序发言】

[Player No. 1 please speak]

"Let me speak first, what should we talk about? I feel like there is nothing much to talk about."

"A mathematician cannot jump on this board on the first day. You must be patient and hold on. You will never be able to jump again until you have verified the inequality."

"Because if you jump out now, Wolf Blade won't die at night and will have a shield. If you jump out rashly after checking the equation, you will get stabbed at night, which is not cost-effective."

"Mathematicians can't jump, so why don't hunters jump out and take the badge to lead the team? Hunters can take the gun and lead people at night when they get stabbed."

"Of course, if the witch is not afraid of dying too early, she can also jump out to lead the team. Compared with hunters, it is better for witches to jump out, after all, they can report silver water to clear the pit."

"Although Yinshui may not be a good person, and there may be a Trickster Wolf who eats the knife, but we can't get stuck in a rut on the first day. We can't deal with such extreme situations."

Player No. 1 was right in telling the mathematician not to jump. There are no cards on this board that can defend against people, so if the mathematician jumps out, he will be giving away his chance.

You must survive until the next day, or even better, until you have a shield before jumping out.

On the first day, you have to let the hunter or witch lead the team. These two cards have their own advantages.

The hunter is not afraid of being stabbed if he jumps. If he is really stabbed, he can get up during the day and shoot the wolf to take the person away. If the hunter can take a wolf away, he will not only break even, but also make a lot of money.

The witch can jump to report the knife edge. After the silver water sets up a pit, the living space of the wolf team will be compressed, and the possibility of wolves appearing will be greater.

Who jumps depends on the ideas of the witch and the hunter. Whoever jumps first will lead the team, and the others will just have to stay.

If no one is willing to jump, then whoever speaks better will get the police badge.

For this board, the good people feel the most uncomfortable and tormented on the first day.

After getting through the first day, the second and third days were still uncomfortable, but a little better.

"Also, talk to the witch. If the knife wound last night was not on player 3, I think we should pay special attention to him."

"Because I feel that if he is not in the Wolves, he will most likely get stabbed. If he doesn't get stabbed, it does not rule out that he is a Wolves."

"That might be a little too personal for Player 3, but it's the truth."

"On the first day we must try to play the right people. This board has no guards. Once we fall behind in rounds, it will be difficult to win."

"My bottom line is that I am definitely a good person. I hope everyone will recognize me because I have talked so much about the first position. That's it. It's over."

[Player No. 2 please speak]

"You are amazing, Player 1. You doubted Player 3's identity without even listening to their speech? I can only say that you did a great job. We both think alike."

"If player No. 3 is not the knife edge, then his trump card may be the wolf. He definitely won't dare to kill himself. The shadow of the witch not using medicine to save him in the last game is probably still there."

"As long as the wolves see that he is not in the wolf team, they will most likely kill him first. If the witch doesn't save him, the good team may be ruined."

"So, as long as player No. 3 is not the edge, the potential for robbery is particularly large."

"Of course, we can't just kill Player 3 based on this. We still have to listen to his speech and see how he talks. If he has an identity, it would be best if we could take a picture of his identity."

Listening to the speech of Player No. 2, Ren Fan couldn't help but frowned. He knew that someone would definitely make a fuss about whether he was Silver Water.

1 and 2 both mentioned this. To be honest, Ren Fan didn't have a very good impression of either of them, but it was not very realistic to say that 1 and 2 were a pair of wolves.

Relatively speaking, player No. 1 has a higher status, while player No. 2 is the type who follows the trend and sets the pace.

"There are no prophets on this board. The first day is a deep prediction game. In fact, I don't think a deep prediction game is scary. What's scary is that the information reported by the mathematicians is wrong. This is the scariest thing."

"Once the skills of the Wicked Wolf collide with the Mathematician, our logic will be disrupted. The good guys will turn into wolves, and the wolves will turn into good guys. That's when it will be really fatal."

"But this is not the most difficult part. Once a wolf comes out to attack the mathematician, it will be really exciting. I think the logic of this board is secondary, and the feeling is the most important."

"Because the premise of the logic is that the information reported by the mathematician is correct. The problem is that the verification people reported by the mathematician are often modified by the Wraith Wolf. If the logic is based on wrong information, it will only lead to wrong conclusions."

"It was a coincidence that I got it right. It was pure luck. There's nothing much to say."

"I say this to tell good people that the information provided by mathematicians cannot be fully trusted. After all, even he himself does not know whether the information provided by mathematicians is correct. So we should think more carefully."

"I will compare the information reported by the mathematician with the information marked in the speech. If there is no conflict, I will most likely believe it. But if there is a conflict, I may question whether the mathematician's verification was modified by the Wraith Wolf."

"Speaking of the Trickster Wolf, the method for catching him is the same as that for catching the Hidden Wolf. It all depends on who is suspected of delivering the message. Especially when the person he is delivering the message to is suspected to be a wolf, then this person should be suspected to be the Trickster Wolf."

"I've recognized the No. 1 player in the front position. I think he should be a good guy. So, from my perspective, the No. 3 and No. 4 players are likely to be wolves."

"Position learning is unreliable, but there is nothing I can do now. On the first day of deep push, I will inevitably use position learning to squeeze the wolf pit."

"Don't let anyone use this to attack me from a late position. I'm speaking from a high position. After recognizing player 1, I suspect that there's nothing wrong with players 3 and 4 starting to play as wolves. Especially player 3, who is the main target of suspicion."

"Okay, that's all I want to say on the police. You're a good guy, that's it. It's over."

[Player No. 3 please speak]

"Ask the hunters and witches to jump out and get the police badge? I don't think this is a good suggestion. If it were me, I would suggest that the gravekeeper jump out and get the police badge to fight the underworld police badge flow."

"What's the point of the hunter and the witch jumping out? Can it correct the perspective? Do you know whether it was a good guy or a wolf that was cast on the first day? I don't know."

"But it's different when the gravekeeper jumps out. After he jumps out and gets the police badge, he can play the Hell Police Badge flow, because at night he knows whether the card that was pushed out on the first day is a good guy or a wolf."

"Through the information provided by the gravekeeper, we can establish a logical basis to help us find the wolf, which is something that witches and hunters cannot do."

"Some people may say that if the gravekeeper jumps again the next day, won't he be able to report the information? That's true, but this is equivalent to selling an extra god. Don't forget that this board has no guards. The god tablets should be hidden if possible, and the lesser one exposed, the better."

Ren Fan's words made many good people's eyes light up. It seemed to make sense for the gravekeeper to jump out and use the police badge to fight the underworld police badge flow.

If a hunter or a witch leads the team, it really cannot have the effect of correcting the perspective. When the good guys wake up the next day, they are still in the dark. Some people may think that they made the right move, while others may think that they made a mistake.

But the information reported by the gravekeeper is unquestionable. After all, this is information obtained through skills and it definitely cannot be wrong.

"I'm definitely not trying to trick the gravekeeper into coming out by talking like this. I'm just telling everyone who is the most suitable person to lead the team with the police badge."

"And according to my play style, both the witch and the hunter can survive. As long as they hide well and speak without revealing their perspective, it will be difficult for the wolf team to kill the god."

"Of course, the only downside to playing this way is that after the gravekeeper jumps out, he will be stabbed at night, so it depends on whether the gravekeeper is willing to sacrifice himself. I said that the gravekeeper can use the police badge to fight the underworld police badge flow, but it's just a suggestion."

"Also, let me tell you a little trick for checking people. If you want to ensure the accuracy of the information you check, you can put the god tablet in for the check."

"For example, if player 1 is a god, you check 1 and 2. If it is an equation, it means that player 2 is most likely a good guy. Otherwise, player 2 is probably a wolf. This way, we don't have to analyze which of the two cards you checked is a good guy and which is a wolf."

"But the Wicked Wolf probably won't just sit there and watch you test people so easily. He might interfere. For example, if a hunter, gravekeeper, or witch jumps out, he might change the alignment of the god tablet at night, which could cause problems with the information."

"I told you this little trick because I wanted you to find a card that you think is a good person as a logical basis, and then check a card that you are not sure about."

"Isn't this better than testing two cards that are both uncertain?"

Ren Fan's speeches always give people different surprises, such as the dialogue with the gravekeeper who jumps out to play the underworld police badge flow, and teaching the mathematician's little tricks to verify people, which is even more so.

Based on Ren Fan's mentality and what he talked about, how can we call him a wolf?

In terms of the value of the speech, Player 1 and Player 2 combined are not as good as him alone. If Pan Renfan is a wolf, what are 1 and 2?
We can't just push those who made good speeches into the wolf's den, and those who made average speeches should just accept it.

It's not wrong to target a certain player, but if you ignore basic facts and logic just for the sake of targeting, then you're just a complete idiot.

"Let's talk about Player 1 and Player 2 again. You two have some logic but not much. You think about me being a wolf and I won't cut myself, so if the knife is not on me, I am most likely the wolf."

"What if the wolf uses this to discredit my identity? He deliberately doesn't kill me, but leads the trend the next day to make the good guys doubt my identity. Doesn't that give him a perfect position to resist the push?"

"Logic, you need to think one more level, and one more level. You can suspect that I might be a wolf if I don't eat the knife, but don't think that I am a wolf if I don't eat the knife."

"1 and 2 didn't say it so absolutely, but I can feel from their speeches that as long as the witch jumps out and says that I am not the knife edge from last night, their votes will depend on me."

"Especially player No. 2, in order to increase the hostility of the good guys towards me, he even calculated the position. Is this because he is afraid that the good guys will point me into the wolf pit and doubt my identity?"

"Player No. 2 has a lot of influence in my gang. I won't say he is definitely a wolf, but he is definitely a target of suspicion."

"Player 1 was chatting okay. Although he did mention that I might be a wolf because I don't get hurt by knives, he was probably just being concerned and suspicious about my identity as a good person. He doesn't seem like a wolf."

"But I can't say that he is a good person. I can only say that his status is slightly better than that of Player 2."

"There are only two people under the police in this game. I feel that either you don't use the wolf, or you only use one wolf. Ninety percent of the time, the weird wolf will go to the police, so when looking for the weird wolf, you should first look for it on the police, and you can almost ignore the police."

"Having said so much, I hope the good guys can recognize me and stop following the trend of saying I am a wolf if I don't get hit. In fact, after I got hit first in the last game, the wolf in this game, if they are a little more sophisticated, will not hit me first again."

"So, just because I don't eat the knife doesn't mean I'm a wolf. You're worried that I'm a wolf because I don't eat the knife, but I'm worried that I'll be stabbed for the first time again, and the witch won't prescribe an antidote."

"Okay, that's all I want to say on the police. You're a good guy, that's it. It's over."

[Player No. 4 please speak]

"How should I put it? Judging from his attitude and logical thinking, Player 3 is undoubtedly a card that can be recognized. He talked about two things that were eye-opening."

"One is to talk to the gravekeeper, who can jump out and use the police badge to fight the hell police badge flow. The other is to talk to the mathematician and find a card that can be recognized as a basis for verifying people."

"This is indeed a very good speech. If it was someone else, I would have recognized him based on the speech he made during this round. And if nothing unexpected happens, I won't be able to defeat him in this whole round."

"But player No. 3 is different. You have to be more careful with him. From the experience of the previous two games, there is not much difference in his speech when he takes the good guy or the wolf."

"Of course, I'm not trying to lead the discussion and say that Player 3 is a wolf who made a good speech. What I mean is that after listening to what the 3rd police officer said, we can temporarily treat him as a good guy, but we can't completely accept him as one."

"Player No. 3, don't be too hostile to my remarks, because it's not just me, most of the good people in the external position should think the same way."

Player No. 4 stood up and first recognized Ren Fan's logical thinking and speech, but he did not recognize Ren Fan.

According to him, if these words were spoken by someone else, he would definitely accept them, and he did not suspect that the other party was a wolf throughout the whole game.

But this won't work for Ren Fan. He must be more skeptical and careful.

Fortunately, he did not directly question whether Ren Fan was a wolf who used his speech to give himself an identity. If he dared to talk like this, Ren Fan would directly label him a wolf and take him away.

But even so, Ren Fan didn't have any good feelings towards Player No. 4. Maybe this guy was secretly leading the pace and fooling the good guys into thinking that he was the wolf who had made the speech.

Among the two people 2 and 4, at least one will be a wolf, and maybe even two wolves.

However, after his speech came out, no one can resist him today. If he can still be resisted on the first day after such a talk, then that good guy must have shit in his brain.

"Right now, none of the God Cards have jumped. If the gravekeeper is in the back position, you can come out and get the police badge to lead the team. If you can save a wolf today, tell the good guys about it at night. It doesn't matter if you get killed early. Your contribution is there. It doesn't mean that the longer you live, the greater your contribution will be."

"The Gravekeeper card can help the good guys see things in perspective, which is actually the maximum value of this card."

"It's a pity that I'm not a gravekeeper. If I were a gravekeeper, I would definitely jump out and let the hunter and the witch survive."

"When a mathematician is testing people at night, don't test the god card that pops up. The Wicked Wolf will most likely use his skills on the god, so the information he gets from testing will be completely wrong."

"I think the mathematician can have the opposite mentality to the Wicked Wolf. The more unlikely something is to be tested, the more it should be tested. The information obtained in this way will basically be correct. It is difficult for the Wicked Wolf to guess who the mathematician will test without any information."

"I believe in the mathematician's verification. Why not? Although we cannot rule out the possibility that the information he reported is wrong and was tampered with by the Trick Wolf, this is a low-probability event after all. We cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater."

"If everyone doesn't believe in mathematicians' verification, then this card will be completely useless, right? The Wolves will definitely be happy to see this."

"Player No. 3 has temporarily acknowledged it. Player No. 2 also said that Player No. 1 made a good speech and did not look like a wolf. So, among the four of us, Player No. 1, 2, 3, and 4, Player No. 2 has the biggest banditry."

"He was throwing water bags at me from the front position, saying that a wolf would appear between me and player 3. From my perspective, player 2 is the one who must enter the wolf pit, because the status of players 1 and 3 are higher than his."

"Let's see if there's anyone in the back position who talks worse than Player 2. If not, I'll probably vote for Player 2."

"He learned some positions from me and player 3. I'm afraid it was just to find a position to resist pushing. But player 3 chatted very well and it was a bit difficult to play."

"Okay, that's all I want to say on the police. The bottom card is a good guy, 1 and 3 identity preferences, the one who looks most like a wolf in the front position is player No. 2, that's it, passed."
