Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

"Nanfang! I don't know what you are kidding! But if you dare to step into here again! I will kill you!"

Kadokura Yudai took a step forward and warned solemnly.

"Huh? Kill me? Come to think of it, Kadokura, you seemed to be that what, that, uh...right! Where's the Gambler? And then what? You said you were going to kill me, here? In the basement of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, murdering a policeman?"

Just as Nan Fang was laughing hysterically, his cell phone suddenly rang:

"Sorry, I just received a call, so I won't play with you for now. I was forced to drink with the top executives last night, and my phone was turned off until just now. The road to becoming an elite is very hard. Goodbye, Mr. Gambler Host."

After Nan Fang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"You can't go!"

Kadokura Yudai suddenly reached out to stop the other person. He had a hunch that Nan Fang might have secretly done something while he was not paying attention. Now he had to stop him and ask him clearly!

The fourth round of competition continues.

Tian Zhen Zheng Yi's turn.

Tian Zhen Zhengyi pushed open the door in front of him and hit the wall.

Because he wanted to confirm his initial position, Tian Zhen Zhengyi's progress was the slowest among the four, and he obtained the least information among the four.

Tian Zhen Zhengyi's turn ends.

Nantianren's turn.

Nan Tianren reached out and pushed open the door on his left, walked through, and came to the fifth room.

"If I start at a corner, then in front of me is the outer wall of the maze, and on the left is the second room I arrive at. Now I can only turn right."

After Nan Tianren finished his analysis, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the room on his right, passed through, came to the sixth room, turned right, passed through, came to the seventh room, turned left, passed through again, came to the eighth room, turned right again, and hit the wall.

"Hmm? That's not right. Isn't it said that there are no dead ends in a maze? If I can't go straight, I can only turn left. In front of me is the outer wall of the maze, and on the left is the sixth room I arrived at. So I can only turn right and come to the room in the other corner.

Turning left and going straight are both the outer walls of the maze. The only way is to turn right. After turning right, the left side is still the outer wall of the maze. I can only turn right again, but if I do this, I will return to this room. Wouldn't I be stuck here? Is there a so-called cross in front of me that allows me to go straight?"

Nan Tianren's turn ends.

KGB Beast's turn.

"I can't turn left, and I can't go straight, so I can only turn right. But to my right is the third room I've reached. There are no dead ends in the maze, so I can definitely pass it by turning right. In that case, is the third room my cross? In other words, should I have turned right in the first place?"

The KGB beast reached out and pushed open the door on his right, walked through, returned to the third room, turned left, walked through, came to the seventh room, turned right, and hit the wall.

KGB Beast's turn ends.

Nagai Kei's turn.

Kei Nagai reached out and pushed open the door in front of him, and then the wall.

"Hmm? Last time, I failed to turn left, and this time I also failed to go straight. If there is no dead end in the maze, then I can only turn right? But after turning right, I arrived at the fourth room. When I was in that room, I wanted to go straight to the current room, but I failed and hit the wall. Could it be that... there is a one-way door?"

Nagai Kei frowned:

"That is to say, I can go back to the fourth room from the seventh room, but I can't go directly to the seventh room from the fourth room. But what's the point of a one-way door? Will anything be different when I return to the fourth room?

Let me think about it. If I return to the fourth room in my current state, going straight or turning right are both the ways I came from, so I can only turn left. Could it be that I can only go through the door to the left after going around like this? In this case, if I want to turn right when I first arrive at the fourth room, it should not work, right?"

When Nagai Kei came to this point in his analysis, he suddenly thought of something. He bit his index finger and used his blood to draw the shape of the maze and the path he had walked on the ground. After he drew the path from the seventh room back to the fourth room, Nagai Kei's frown finally relaxed:

"I solved it! The rules of this maze! So this is how it works! I must quickly erase this route, otherwise if someone else sees it, they will reveal the information to others for no reason!"

Kei Nagai's turn ends.

Tian Zhen Zheng Yi's turn.

Tian Zhen Zhengyi stretched out his hand and pushed open the room on the left, passed through, came to the third room, went straight, and hit the wall.

Tian Zhen Zhengyi's turn ends.

Nantianren's turn.

"The room I'm in right now is definitely not a cross, so I can only turn left first."

Nan Tianren reached out and pushed open the door on the left, walked through it, and came to the ninth room. He turned right, walked through it, and came to the tenth room. He turned right again, walked through it, and came to the eleventh room.

"That's the problem. After turning right, I will arrive at the eighth room, which is a dead end. After turning left, I will reach the outer wall of the maze. In this case, I can only go straight."

Nan Tianren stretched out his hand, pushed open the door in front of him, walked straight ahead, and bumped into the wall.

"Huh? Didn't they say there are no dead ends in a maze? In this case, I can only turn right? But after turning right, there are only two ways back and one dead end. Could it be that I took the wrong road before? Now I need to go back and take the same route. Doesn't the saying that there are no dead ends actually include taking a detour?"

Nan Tianren was in doubt.

Nan Tianren's turn ends.

KGB Beast's turn.

The KGB beast reached out and pushed open the door on the left, walked through, came to the eighth room, turned right, walked through, came to the ninth room, turned right again, walked through, came to the tenth room, turned left, and hit the wall.

KGB Beast's turn ends.

Nagai Kei's turn.

"So it's a maze of road building? A Bck game?"

After reaching out and pushing open the door on the right side that was originally unable to be opened, Nagai Kei said:

"That is to say, there are only two ways to move forward: a cross route, or two non-intersecting arc routes connecting two adjacent doors. The meaning of there being only one cross is actually that only the starting point is a cross grid, and the rest of the rooms are grids composed of two non-intersecting arcs."

Kei Nagai, who had already seen through the rules of the maze, took action immediately, turning left, left again, and right, and came to the tenth room. After obtaining eleven points, he finally ran into Tian Zhen Zhengyi standing next to the water pipe.

Kei Nagai immediately began to analyze.

——If my starting room is (6, 6), then this is (5, 2). There are only two possibilities. If Tian Zhen Zhengyi’s starting point is (6, 1), this is the third room he arrives at. He has only two points in total, but the possibility is very low. Unless he deliberately hits the wall, it is difficult for him to still be spinning in the same place in the fifth round.

——Then there is the second possibility. His starting point is actually (1, 1). He walked to the right at the beginning. After walking all the way here, his points may have reached more than ten points. The person whose starting point was (6, 1) walked to the left at the beginning and met him.

——But there are no signs of fighting on Tian Zhen Zhengyi’s body, which means that either the person whose starting point is (6, 1) is actually the KGB beast, and after the two of them met, they gave each other some points and ended up living in peace, or Tian Zhen Zhengyi’s progress was faster than Nan Tianren’s, and he defeated Nan Tianren in the points contest and was not beaten by Nan Tianren.

——However, in this real-life maze gambling game, there is actually a hidden factor, that is, the difference in fighting power between people! Nan Tianren has the strongest fighting power, followed by KGB Beast, then me, and finally Tian Zhen Zhengyi!

——Because the battle lasts only one minute, under normal circumstances, no one can kill the opponent in such a short time. However, the difference in combat power between Nan Tianren and Tian Zhen Zhengyi is huge. If Nan Tianren fights against Tian Zhen Zhengyi and Nan Tianren wins the score competition, he may kill the opponent in one second within one minute.

——So judging by Nan Tianren’s character, if he were to meet Tian Zhen Zhengyi, he would definitely use up all his points in order to kill his opponent directly in this battle.

——But Tian Zhen Zhengyi is now standing here intact. This is only possible if he is ahead of Nan Tianren in progress and consumes all his points to surpass Nan Tianren in the points contest.

——Taking all the above into consideration, if it is situation one or three, he probably doesn’t have many points now. If it is situation two, he is probably too far ahead of me in points. To be on the safe side, using four points here is the optimal solution!

——If it is situation one or three, using four points can ensure a win. If it is situation two, using four points can avoid consuming too many points, which would put you at a disadvantage in the subsequent point competition.

The result is obvious. Tian Zhen Zheng Yi's starting point is (6, 1). He deliberately hit the wall at the beginning, resulting in only three points in the fifth round. Even if he consumed all of them, he would definitely lose, so he only used a few points to avoid unnecessary consumption.

——From now on, we can only rely on fighting spirit to get through it!

After Yudai Kadokura announced the start of the one-minute countdown, Tenshin Seiichi turned and ran, wanting to deal with Kei Nagai in this small space.

But unfortunately, at the same moment when the one-minute countdown began, Nagai Kei immediately released [HAL], blocking the path that Tenshin Seiichi had to take to escape.

Because he did not want to reveal his identity as a demihuman for the time being, Kei Nagai did not order [HAL] to attack Tenshin Seiichi, but simply punched the opponent himself.

A minute later, the innocent Seiichi, who was beaten into a pig's head by Kei Nagai, collapsed in the corner of the room.

Since Kei Nagai won the points contest, Kei Nagai's round continued.

Kei Nagai then turned left, right, right again, right, and left, and came to room (4, 2), where he gained five more points. After gaining a total of twelve points, he met the KGB beast.

KGB Beast's current score is ten points.

——Since I won the previous score contest with Tenma Seiichi, it should be situation one or situation three now.

Kei Nagai continued his analysis.

——If it is situation three, the starting point of KGB Beast is (1, 6). By this time, his points must have exceeded points. He has also met Nan Tianren, and there are no signs of fighting on his body. This is something that could only happen if he solved the rules of the maze earlier than me.

——But if he has already figured out the rules, there is no reason to stop in this room. Although there are no dead ends in the maze, since only the starting point is certain, the end point can have many possibilities. The maze will also have many structures depending on the end point, which means we have to face some forks in the road when passing the maze.

——But room (4, 3) shouldn’t be the fork in the road from the starting point (1, 6). It’s not like he was beaten up by Nan Tianren and forced to stop here, so he shouldn’t have figured out the rules of the maze yet.

——That is to say, KGB Beast has not yet figured out the rules of the maze. His starting point is actually (1, 1), Tenshin Seiichi’s starting point is (6, 1), and Nan Tenjin’s starting point is (1, 6).

——After reaching the fifth round, did Tenma Seiichi arrive at the third room? Was Tenma Seiichi deliberately bumping into the wall? Why did he do that? Was he trying to confirm whether he was in the corner? Was he just trying to confirm the information that others could have guessed even without evidence?

Chapter 113: The Way Out of the Maze

——Forget it, it’s useless to think about these things now. It’s more important to think about how many points I will use next. If the starting point of KGB Beast is (1, 1), I should have accumulated about ten points by the time I got here.

——To be on the safe side, I must use all my points. After all, I have already solved the rules of the maze, and there are only two forks in the road ahead for me to choose from. I can reach the end of the maze in two more rounds at most. If I lose here and am suspended for one round, there will be too many variables. I can't put all my hopes on Nan Tianren. I have decided that I will use all twelve points!

The final result was undoubtedly Kei Nagai's victory.

As the one-minute countdown ended, the KGB beast was also injured, but the difference in combat power meant that he would only suffer minor injuries.

Since Kei Nagai won the points contest, Kei Nagai's round continued.

Kei Nagai turned left, turned right, turned right again, turned left, turned left, turned right again, turned right, turned right, and turned left again, and arrived at room (2, 3), which was also the first fork in the road that Kei Nagai encountered.

"If I turn left next, the end of the maze will be (1, 6) or (5, 6), and there will be another fork in the road ahead. But if I turn right, the end of the maze can be determined to be (3, 6), and there will be no more forks in the road ahead, so I can go straight through the maze."

Thinking this, Nagai Kei reached out and pushed open the door on the right, but it turned out to be a wall:

“It’s really not that easy.”

Kei Nagai's turn ends.

Tian Zhen Zheng Yi's turn.

Since Tenshin Seiichi lost the points contest with Nagai Kei, he was suspended for one round.

Tian Zhen Zhengyi's turn ends.

Nantianren's turn.

Nan Tianren decided to open the door in front of him and return to the seventh room he had reached before.

But the door that should have been passable now cannot be opened from this side.

"Is there a one-way door?"

After a brief thought, Nan Tianren immediately saw through the rules of the maze.

Nan Tianren's turn ends.

KGB Beast's turn.

The KGB Beast has been suspended for one round due to his previous defeat in a points contest with Kei Nagai.
