God's imitator

Chapter 440 Magician

He Xiaojun quickly came up with several ways to put the wealth coupons in, such as making the number of wealth coupons in each box a multiple of 3 or 5, or making the number of wealth coupons in the 22 boxes form an arithmetic sequence, and so on.

But in the end, he still chose to focus on prime numbers.

After all, the first two methods are too simple and not difficult for ordinary people to guess. While "prime numbers" are also quite basic knowledge, most people find it difficult to quickly recall which numbers are available when they are not used frequently.

“选择最前面的22个质数的话，分别是2、3、5、7、11……

"Adding the first 22 prime numbers together, the final result is... 791."

"If I withdraw in denominations of 1000, I would have to withdraw 791000... Isn't that a bit too much?"

"If you withdraw with a denomination of 100, it will be 79100, which is less than the minimum value of 10, but you can multiply it by a specific multiple, such as 2 or 3."

"Let's multiply by 3 and bring a little more."

"In this way, the total is 237300, which is more than double the minimum value allowed in the rules, '10'. That's about right. Let's play a game and see how it goes."

"We'll see how the other players are doing before deciding whether to bring more."

He Xiaojun didn't have time to think too much. He quickly calculated it again to make sure it was correct, entered the number on the vending machine, selected the "One Hundred (100)" option, and clicked OK.

A series of "thud, thud" sounds rang out as bundles of wealth coupons fell from the platform beneath the vending machine.

There were 23 bundles in total, as well as 73 loose individual coupons.

He Xiaojun picked them up and examined them. These wealth vouchers were quite different in size from real cash. They were slightly wider, and each one was made of a metallic material. They were also much thicker than ordinary banknotes, and they felt quite heavy in his hand.

It has a good texture and there is almost no possibility of accidental damage.

He Xiaojun quickly took the wealth vouchers and entered the game room to begin setting them up.

……

The game had not officially started yet, so only He Xiaojun, as the "Sage," could enter the game room, while the door for the "Thief" on the other side remained closed.

He approached the long table and opened the 22 small boxes one by one.

It was only then that He Xiaojun noticed that there were actually grooves on the table, and these small wooden boxes were placed in the grooves on the table perfectly.

Moreover, each of the four sides of the small wooden box has a thin, pale gold chain, which securely locks it to the tabletop.

Although the chains were not taut, there was very little room for movement.

This means that players cannot remove these small wooden boxes; they can only open and close them.

The opening of the wooden box faces the 'thief'.

He Xiaojun tried it and confirmed that about five bundles of wealth vouchers could fit perfectly inside. Four bundles were stacked normally, and the other bundle was inserted into the gap from the side.

Of course, if you really want to stuff one or two extra sheets into the gaps, that might be possible, but overall it's pretty much the same.

"Five bundles, if they are 100-yuan notes, that's 50,000. 22 boxes can hold a total of 1.1 million. If they are 1000-yuan notes, 22 boxes can hold... 11 million wealth vouchers!"

"But if more than 110 bundles are taken out, the wealth vouchers cannot all be put into these boxes, which would be a violation, and all of them would have to be paid to the 'thief'."

"Surely no one would make such a stupid mistake, right?"

"Theoretically speaking, the total amount of wealth coupons that each player will receive this time will definitely be astronomical, possibly tens of millions or even hundreds of millions."

Five minutes was too short, so He Xiaojun quickly placed the corresponding wealth vouchers into the wooden boxes.

The game rules state that the "Sage" player must "clearly know" the exact amount of Wealth Vouchers placed in each wooden box, but do not say that they must remember it.

In other words, this rule is mainly to prevent players from taking a bunch of wealth vouchers and then randomly grabbing a stack and putting it into the box, and also to ensure that the wealth vouchers in these boxes conform to 'a certain rule'. He Xiaojun divided these wealth vouchers into 22 piles according to the previously calculated values, each pile containing an amount of 'prime number × 300', for example, the first pile was 600, the second pile was 900, and so on.

The last group is 23700.

Some bundles of wealth vouchers were broken up to balance the quantity.

After sorting them, he casually put each pile into different wooden boxes.

The game rules prohibit "complete randomness," meaning that you cannot randomly grab a stack of wealth vouchers and put them in, but once they are distributed, you can put them in however you like.

Finally, write down the rules for placing it on the notice board.

The number of wealth certificates in the wooden box, when divided by 3, are all prime numbers.

Soon, a checkmark appeared below the notice board, indicating that the rules were valid and had passed the corridor's lie detection mechanism.

The "Sage" has completed the setup according to the game rules.

The first game will begin in 30 seconds. Please get ready.

He Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief. For a player like him, it was already quite an achievement to be able to correctly complete the setup according to the game rules at the beginning.

After confirming that all the wooden boxes were securely fastened, He Xiaojun sat down at the long table.

After all, it looks more imposing this way.

He had made up his mind to minimize communication with whoever came, so as not to expose his ignorance.

Then, He Xiaojun placed his gloved hands on the table, interlaced his fingers, and appeared to be deep in thought.

He was assigned to the "reversed" camp, and the costume he chose was the reversed "Justice". In the original Tarot card image, the goddess of justice sits on a stone chair, holding the sword of justice in one hand and the scales in the other.

Although the costumes did not have obvious gender characteristics, overall they were still quite elegant and luxurious, and looked very imposing.

He Xiaojun remained still, which allowed him to project a strong presence, and the mask further concealed his face, making it even less likely for him to show any weakness.

……

A moment later, the door on the other side of the game room opened.

The player's name tag on his chest reads "The Magician" in the correct position, and his red robe in his costume looks very striking.

He sat down at the opposite end of the long table, looking with interest at the 22 wooden boxes on it, before glancing at He Xiaojun, who remained motionless across from him.

"Hello."

Players can speak and communicate freely in the game room, but spectators in the spectator room cannot speak.

The mask also has a voice-changing function, making it impossible to determine the other person's gender or age, but the general tone of voice can still be heard.

He Xiaojun also said in a deliberately low voice, "Hello."

The Magician glanced at the signboard beside him: "Looks like you're very confident in your strategy?"

"But unfortunately, I am a genuine magician, and I am very good at tarot cards and divination."

"I can try to establish a connection with the tarot cards, and all mysteries will be revealed in the face of my spiritual intuition."

"Do you believe it?"
