Train to Another World.

Chapter 66: The Path of Careful Planning

The next morning, the airship reached the top of the Trap Tower. The Trap Tower was a huge stone prison in a cylindrical shape, full of traps. From a distance, it looked like a stone pillar.

Some regular prisoners captured by bounty hunters who do not have the ability to read will be imprisoned in trap towers.

This time, we simply let these prisoners reuse their waste and add them to the third exam as part of the assessment. Because they are all regular prisoners, they are not difficult for the candidates to deal with, and even if they use this exam to escape collectively, it will not cause too much trouble.

When all the candidates stepped out of the airship, it flew away. As it went away, the speaker played the topic of the third exam: "You have 72 hours to reach the ground alive. And you are not allowed to go down from the tower."

After hearing the notice, Li Zhuoguang called the other three to come and gather. If he remembered correctly, in the original exam, candidates were not prohibited from going down from outside the tower.

However, when a rock climber was eaten by a group of strange birds while climbing down from the outside of the trap tower, no one was ready to leave the tower anymore.

So the sudden appearance of this item means something has happened.

Thinking about it carefully, only the fact that they possessed the flying props was known to the Hunter Association. This was actually expected, and Li Zhuoguang didn't care too much.

After the other three came over, Li Zhuoguang asked, "Did you guys just go to bed last night?"

Wei Changfeng nodded: "I followed the instructions of the chief priest last night and went to bed early."

Xiong Facai scratched his neck and said, "I went to bed early last night, but I felt hungry in the second half of the night, so I went out for a midnight snack. I ran into the old man from the daytime in the restaurant. He seemed to want to chat with me, but then I found out that we couldn't communicate, so I gave up."

Qin Daniu said shyly, "I just went to bed last night when Xiaojie and his friends came to find me and dragged me around the yacht. Then I met the old man. We started playing ball without knowing what was going on and didn't go back to sleep until midnight."

Li Zhuoguang raised his eyebrows: "How was the result of your game?"

Qin Daniu said: "I found that the old man intended to let us use only one hand and one foot. I was so angry that I used all my strength and forced him to use both hands and feet.

Then he stopped playing, probably because he was angry. But Xiaojie looked quite happy. "

Li Zhuoguang nodded. It seemed that their group had been noticed by the president, but it didn’t matter.

Killua killed two people on the airship because of a quarrel and nothing happened. Their group was already considered to be in the good and lawful camp, and the Hunter Association probably wouldn't deliberately target them just because there was a candidate who looked like a Warcraft candidate.

Li Zhuoguang said to everyone: "Now we need to go down to the ground through this stone pillar. There are many secret doors on the top of this stone pillar. We need to find the secret door leading to the same road."

"Brother Facai, do you have any relevant detection skills?" Li Zhuoguang turned and asked Xiong Facai.

Xiong Facai nodded: "These are just ordinary stones, they can't block my magic power. It's a small matter, just wait for me."

Soon, Xiong Facai found four secret doors. Under these four secret doors was the same room. The four people passed through the secret doors and jumped down at the same time.

The four entered the room and found a small amount of water and food in the room, which were divided into four equal parts. There was only one exit with the words "The Way of Frugality" written on it in large letters.

Anyway, there was only one exit and no other choice, so everyone picked up water and food and headed towards the exit.

In fact, before they came to take the exam, they prepared a lot of water and food in their storage bags. They took away the water and food here because they were afraid that these things would be the key props for the next exam.

After walking a few steps, I came to a spacious space with four treadmills placed in the corners and a large round table in the middle.

There were already four prisoners sitting at the table in this space, all of them were young women.

Seeing the candidates coming, the youngest one shrank back timidly. The older woman came forward to negotiate, saying, "Please take a seat. Welcome to the gambling game." Li Zhuoguang glanced at them. None of the prisoners locked up here could read. There were four women with no signs of training on their bodies. It seemed that this game was unlikely to be a test of force.

Li Zhuoguang greeted everyone, sat down on the other side of the table, and asked, "What are the rules of the game?"

The older woman said, "I know you got four portions of food in the room at the beginning, and we have four portions here as well.

After a while, a curtain will be lowered between us in the room, and we can't see what's happening on the other side. We each put the food on the table, the amount we choose. After both parties confirm, the curtain will rise again.

If the number of food portions placed is exactly one portion less than the other side, the side with the smaller portion wins.

If the number of food portions placed is one or more less than the other side, the side with more food portions wins.

The winner gets all the food on the table.

If both parties place the same number of food portions, both parties lose and need to destroy all the food on the table.

The game is played in one round, and the winner is determined in one round. "

After explaining the basic rules, the older woman pointed to the door behind her and added, "This is the only exit. If you want to open this door, you need to offer ten portions of food."

Li Zhuoguang discovered the key point: "We only have eight portions of food in total. How can we get ten portions if we only play the game once?"

The woman pointed to the four treadmills and said, "There are counters on these treadmills. As long as you complete a certain mileage, you will get a portion of food."

Li Zhuoguang smiled and said, "If I choose to run in exchange for food, then I don't have to play games with you, and I can just leave after collecting enough food?"

The woman smiled and said, “Of course this is also an option. Maybe you have also discovered that the portion of each food is very small.

I want to remind you that the path you are on is called the 'path of careful calculation', and the food you get is also calculated. The food you get from running is far from enough to replenish the physical energy and water you consume while running.

This exam lasts for 72 hours. You collected 10 pieces of food by running at the beginning, but that is only enough to open this door. In addition to these 10 pieces of food, you need to get more food as a supply later.

Now you are well fed and well-drinking, and you don’t think it’s a big deal, but if you start by losing money to get food, I don’t think you can go far.”

Li Zhuoguang nodded and asked, "According to the rules, I am encouraged to get food by running first and then participate in the gambling. This game is ultimately testing our balance between the food we have, our own physical fitness, and the gambling process?"

The woman replied: "This conclusion is partially correct."

Li Zhuoguang did not delve into the details of what was wrong with his conclusion. He suddenly laughed and said, "The four of you are all women, and we are all men. We must admit that women are naturally weaker than men in terms of physical performance.

In addition, the rules of this game are that the more food you have, the greater the advantage you have. We can easily obtain much more food than you at the beginning and gain a crushing advantage over you.

As long as you put all the food on from the first game, you will lose no matter what.

So, what is the meaning of the so-called game? "

The older woman also laughed...
