God's imitator

Chapter 20 Two vs. Four

"Attorney Lin!"

Qin Yao stood up in surprise and went to greet her.

Jiang He frowned, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "How... how could you have stayed in there for so long?"

Lin Sizhi looked at her and said, somewhat puzzled, "The rules of the game don't say we can't stay inside, do they?"

Jiang He was speechless for a moment. She wanted to say something more, but she quickly lost her nerve and lowered her head in silence.

Qin Yao quickly explained, "Sister Jiang He, Attorney Lin, you're both right. There's no need to argue about this."

"I'm sorry, Attorney Lin, we lost badly in the bet against the Third Community just now because we were one person short, so Sister Jiang He probably thought that having one more person would increase our chances of winning."

"But it's not your fault, don't take it to heart."

Jiang He sighed silently: "I didn't say it was his fault either."

Lin Sizhi looked at the rules on the big screen, which were no different from what he had written in his previous proposal.

"How did you lose?"

……

Qin Yao briefly explained the background and consequences of the multi-person gambling table.

Lin Sizhi looked at the chips in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Qin Yao continued, "Attorney Lin, what are your plans next?"
"Or we might as well just accept our fate. Whether we play at a multi-player table or not, we're going to lose 10,000 chips anyway."

Lin Sizhi glanced at the countdown on the big screen: "But it's still early, there's no point in just sitting here."

"Why don't we play a few rounds with them?"

Hearing Lin Sizhi's tone, Qin Yao was startled.

"Attorney Lin, are you planning to take this gamble seriously?"
"Don't think like that, they are all very capable, and..."

"There are four of them, they have a lot of chips, and they are very good at teamwork. You have no chance of winning against four opponents."

Lin Sizhi shrugged: "But you've lost 26000 chips, don't you want to win them back?"

The three of them looked at each other.

“Win? How can we win? By hoping for a sudden stroke of luck? That’s simply unrealistic.” Jiang He shook her head repeatedly.

Both she and Su Xiucen were dejected, and all they wanted to do was get away from that gambling table.

Qin Yao hesitated for a moment: "I want to! But... how should I do it?"

Lin Sizhi took out a 2000-yuan chip from his pocket and rummaged through his fingers: "There's not much of a chance if you're alone, but there's still a chance if there are two of you."

Qin Yao looked at her remaining chips: "But I only have 7000 chips left."

Lin Sizhi didn't mind: "It's okay, I'll wait for you for fifteen minutes and go get some."

Qin Yao was somewhat surprised: "Take a little?"

“Yes.” Lin Sizhi pointed to the chip exchange area on the side.

Jiang He couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly stood up: "Yao Yao, don't lose your temper!"

"It's too dangerous to get blood drawn just to try and recover your losses!"

"If we leave now, we can at least get a few thousand minutes of visa time, so it's not a complete loss. But if we lose too much..."

Lin Sizhi neither agreed nor disagreed.

Jiang He became even angrier: "Attorney Lin, are you a gambling expert?"

Lin Sizhi shook her head: "No, actually I've never gambled before. But there's more to winning than just gambling."

Jiang He wanted to say something more, but Qin Yao stopped her.

"Sister Jiang He, I believe Attorney Lin must have his reasons for doing this. Don't worry, I won't smoke too much."

Jiang He sat back down, somewhat angrily. Clearly, the idea of ​​exchanging blood for chips still instinctively evoked her resistance and aversion.

"Once inside, do as I say."

Before Qin Yao entered the cubicle, Lin Sizhi lowered his voice and gave her a few simple instructions.

Qin Yao's eyes widened instantly: "Huh? You can do that?"

……

Lu Xinyi repeatedly flicked a chip into the air with her thumb, then let it fall back into her palm.

Lü Mingxuan leaned back in his chair, looking rather bored.

He glanced at the time on the big screen again.

46:48
46:47
Time goes by too slowly.

More than ten minutes passed after they easily defeated Jiang He. During this time, with nothing to do, they grew increasingly bored. "These opponents are far too stupid. If all the opponents in the corridor are only this weak, then..."

Lu Mingxuan was interrupted by Lu Xinyi before he could finish speaking.

"Never underestimate any opponent."

Although Lü Mingxuan was much older than Lu Xinyi, he could only lower his head and obediently say, "Yes."

Although they had only been in the 3rd community for a day, everyone admired Lu Xinyi from the bottom of their hearts.

Whether inside or outside the game, Lu Xinyi has established absolute authority.

If Lu Xinyi hadn't devised such a meticulous plan from the beginning, completely outmaneuvering those three foolish women from the opposite community, they wouldn't have won so easily.

Suddenly, Lü Mingxuan noticed that Lu Xinyi's gaze was fixed on the young man who was the last to come out of the cubicle in Community 17.

"Old Lu."

"Ok?"

"Tell me, what was he doing in that cubicle for so long?"

Clearly, Lu Xinyi was very curious about this.

Lu Mingxuan thought for a moment: "What else can we do? We can only gamble against the chip exchange machine."

This answer clearly did not satisfy Lu Xinyi: "Why would someone play so many rounds of a game with such a slim chance of winning? Is there anyone that stubborn?"

Lu Mingxuan pondered for a moment: "Oh... it's not necessarily because you played a lot of rounds, it could be because you had a lot of time to think? After all, there's no time limit for thinking when gambling against a chip exchange machine."

"Moreover, if he's lucky and wins once, getting a taste of success, that's enough to encourage him to stubbornly gamble on the chip exchange machine a few more times."

Lu Xinyi was still not completely convinced. She turned her head to look at her chip exchange area and then fell into deep thought.

"I want to go in and take another look," Lu Xinyi said.

Lu Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that unnecessary? You've already had 400ml of blood drawn, it's best not to draw any more."

"There are no reliable medical facilities in the community, and excessive blood loss would be counterproductive."

"The most crucial point is that the odds of winning this game are just too low."

Unlike the others, Lu Xinyi drew 400ml right from the start and then played four games with the chip exchange machine.

She wanted to play a few more rounds, but she lost all four games after the cards were dealt.

This also made her give up the idea of ​​continuing to play.

Just as Lu Xinyi was hesitating, she noticed Lin Sizhi and Qin Yao walking over.

"Hello, my name is Lin Sizhi."

Can I play a game with you guys?

Lu Xinyi glanced at the countdown on the big screen.

46: 13.

"No problem." After a brief moment of thought, Lu Xinyi smiled and readily agreed.

During the rest of the game, she actually had two choices.

They either continue to exchange their blood for chips and gamble with the chip exchange machine, or they gamble with Lin Sizhi and Qin Yao.

Although Lu Xinyi was also curious about why Lin Sizhi could stay in the cubicle for so long, no matter how she thought about it, she still believed that betting against a real person would give her a better chance of winning and a greater profit.

Lu Xinyi gambled four rounds with the chip exchange machine and lost them all.

If you were to bet against Lin Sizhi, it would be four against two, which would greatly increase your chances of winning.

Moreover, judging from the previous game, playing ten games won't take too much time; it should only take about 15 minutes to finish.

After finishing this game, there will be about half an hour left, which is plenty of time.

We can study the chip exchange machine later; there will be plenty of time.

Comparatively, chips that are easier to secure should be given higher priority.

The group sat down at the gambling table again.

Lu Xinyi looked Lin Sizhi up and down, and asked with some confusion, "You seem very confident, but you are currently playing two against four. You should know what the odds of winning are, right?"

Lin Sizhi shrugged: "What can we do? No matter how much I try to persuade them, the other two are unwilling to come again."

"Besides, the probabilities at the gambling table are all fictitious."

Ultimately, it all comes down to luck.

"I've always been confident in my luck. I've already accumulated a lot of good karma, and now it's time for my luck to turn around."
