Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Su Ye snapped out of his reverie and shook his head:

"It's nothing, let's not think about it too much for now."

Then Su Ye, Chen Shou, Lin Wei, and Li Xiaowei tried to play a game.

They walked to a chess table and stood there observing a few games.

"I'll give it a try."

Chen Shou stepped forward as he spoke.

Lin Wei, Li Xiaowei, and Su Ye stood not far away watching.

Chen Shou sat down at the table, opposite a man in his thirties.

In the first round, Chen Shou chose rock, and his opponent chose scissors. Chen Shou won.

In the second round, Chen Shou played paper, and his opponent played rock. Chen Shou won.

In the third round, Chen chose scissors, and his opponent chose rock. Chen lost.

Seeing that they had won a round, the opponent, who had initially been sullen, relaxed a little and instead of leaving, tried to win back their losses.

In the fourth round, Chen Shou chose rock, and his opponent chose scissors. Chen Shou won.

In the fifth round, Chen chose scissors, and his opponent chose rock. Chen lost.

The opponent didn't continue, got up and left. Chen Shou won three games and lost two, so overall he still came out ahead.

However, before Chen Shou could leave, another person came to the opposite side of his chess table and started playing against him.

Chen Shouying naturally agreed.

In the first round, Chen Shou chose rock, and his opponent chose scissors. Chen Shou won.

In the second round, Chen Shou played paper, and his opponent played scissors. Chen Shou lost.

In the third round, Chen Shou played rock, and his opponent played paper. Chen Shou lost.

Seeing that he had lost two games in a row, Chen Shou's face darkened, but he still continued to play.

In the fourth round, Chen played scissors, and his opponent played paper. Chen won.

In the fifth round, Chen chose scissors, and his opponent chose rock. Chen lost.

In the sixth round, Chen chose scissors, and his opponent chose rock. Chen lost.

Seeing that he had lost two more games in a row, Chen Shou's face darkened completely, and he turned around and stopped playing.

Overall, 11 cards were used, with 5 wins and 6 losses, resulting in a loss of one card.

He originally had four, now he has three.

"My luck is terrible, I feel like I can't play the game well with that pattern."

Chen Shou spoke to the three men with a dark expression. As for whether it was a matter of natural laws or human error, that remained unknown.

Next, Lin Wei also arrived at the chess table, waiting for her opponent to arrive.

In the first round, Lin Wei played paper, and her opponent played rock. Lin Wei won.

In the second round, Lin Wei played rock, and her opponent played paper. She lost.

In the third round, Lin Wei chose scissors, and her opponent chose paper. Lin Wei won.

Seeing that there was a chance to make money, the other party immediately left, leaving Lin Wei standing there with a dark expression.

Not long after, another person arrived.

In the first round, Lin Wei played paper, and her opponent played rock. Lin Wei won.

In the second round, Lin Wei chose scissors, and her opponent chose paper. Lin Wei won.

In the third round, Lin Wei played paper, and her opponent played scissors. She lost.

In the fourth round, Lin Wei played rock, and her opponent played paper. She lost.

In the fifth round, Lin Wei chose scissors, and her opponent chose rock. She lost.

Without the suppression of the Sequence Ice Power, Lin Wei lost her temper and lost three games in a row before realizing that she had lost so many stars that she only had one left.

He instantly returned to the group with a look of utter despair.

The group was unsure what to say, but at that moment, Li Xiaowei went up to play a game of chess.

She walked to the table, where a middle-aged man who looked somewhat nervous sat opposite her.

In the first round, Li Xiaowei played paper, and her opponent played rock. She won.

In the second round, Li Xiaowei chose rock, and her opponent chose scissors. Li Xiaowei won.

In the third round, Li Xiaowei chose scissors, and her opponent chose paper. Li Xiaowei won.

Three consecutive wins. The opponent simply withdrew.

Then another person joined and started the game.

In the first round, Li Xiaowei played paper, and her opponent played scissors. She lost.

In the second round, Li Xiaowei chose scissors, and her opponent chose paper. Li Xiaowei won.

In the third round, Li Xiaowei played paper, and her opponent played rock. Li Xiaowei won.

Two consecutive wins, and the opponent is eliminated once again.

Li Xiaowei has a total of 6 stars remaining.

As for Su Ye stepping forward, when others saw his fourteen stars, no one agreed with his match.

After all, who knows where his star came from? If it came from a game of chess, and the opponent was the chosen one, who would want to play with him?

If he hadn't won the game, what if he had beaten Su Ye and then been chased back? Wouldn't that have been a double loss?

With no other option, Su Ye had to return to the three of them.

Su Ye looked at the three of them:

"I can't even gamble anymore, and you two are losing one and two respectively..."

Lin Wei smiled bitterly:

"I got carried away later on and only realized what was happening after losing three games in a row."

Chen Shou was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at Li Xiaowei:

"Xiaowei, how did you win?"

I saw you played quite steadily. After a three-game winning streak, you lost, but then won two more games in a row.

Li Xiaowei pursed her lips:

"actually……

When I used to stream outdoors, I played rock-paper-scissors with my viewers many times, and I even studied the game extensively.

"Research?"

Chen Shou's eyes flickered.

Li Xiaowei nodded and looked around:

"There are too many people and too much attention here. How about we find a quiet place and I'll explain it to you in detail?"

Chen Shou glanced around and pointed to a private room not far away with its door unlit:

"That area is empty, let's go."

The four people entered the private room and closed the door.

Inside the private room, Li Xiaowei stood in front of the group. Although her voice was still not loud, it was noticeably more steady than before.

"I used to do outdoor live streams, and sometimes I would play rock-paper-scissors with my viewers during the interactive segments."

The more you play, the more you realize that while the game appears random, the players themselves aren't; most people have a tendency to play their cards based on inertia.

Chen Shou and Lin Wei listened attentively.

"I've summarized a set of rules. They can't guarantee a 100% win rate, but they can improve your win rate."

Li Xiaowei gestured with her hand to indicate her name.

"In the first game, just like our previous analysis, we played paper."

Because most people's first reaction is to throw rock; fist is instinct, and paper beats rock.

Lin Wei nodded, signaling her to continue.

"The second game depends on the result of the first game."

Li Xiaowei continued.

"If you win the first round, it means the opponent played a stone."

He will most likely switch in the second round, switching to scissors or paper.

At this point, you can play scissors, which is a move that hasn't appeared on the board yet, to counter the opponent's scissors and their paper.

"What if we lose the first game?"

Chen Shouwen.

"Losing means the opponent played scissors."

What will he think in the second game?

He'll think that if I lose, I'll switch to rock to counter his scissors from the previous round, so he'll likely choose paper to defend against me.

At that moment, I pulled out scissors, which perfectly matched his cloth.

Chen Shou frowned and thought for a moment:

"If you win, play the card you didn't play in the previous round; if you lose, play the opponent's card?"

Li Xiaowei nodded:

"Yes, to put it simply: in the first round, play paper. If you win, play a card that you didn't play in the previous round. If you lose, play a card that your opponent played in the previous round. It's basically all scissors."

Lin Wei repeated it several times:

"In the first round, if you win, you play a card that wasn't played in the previous round; if you lose, you play a card that your opponent played in the previous round..."

The first round is paper, the second round is scissors; I think I can remember that.

"But it's not a panacea either."

Li Xiaowei added

"If the other party also understands the pattern, or deliberately plays the opposite, then you have to adapt accordingly."

However, I didn't encounter that; the two people I just saw followed this pattern.

Chen Shou seemed to be deep in thought:

"So you mean we can't rigidly adhere to rules, we have to consider the situation?"

"right."

Li Xiaowei said

"But most people don't study this. In the first round, the most people instinctively choose rock or paper, so choosing paper in the first round gives you the highest probability of winning."

In the following rounds, most people will adjust their strategies based on the wins and losses of the previous round; this strategy leverages their psychological adjustment.
