"In that case, there is nothing we can do."

"But I found two people who received invitations. The organizers allow others to gamble on their behalf. As long as they inherit their debts, they can participate on their behalf and keep the profits."

"Naoki, do you want to go with me?" There was a glimmer of anticipation in Nakashima's eyes.

Having already rejected him once, Naoki knew that people like Nakashima-no-Muro really liked the feeling of walking on the edge of death.

The most effective way to conquer her is to face risks with her and stand by her side.

If you continue to refuse, and create a personality that does not match the type of person she likes, you may lose the good impression you had before.

"Well, I'm short of money."

Hearing Naoki's agreement, Ikki Shima raised his eyebrows excitedly.

"Don't worry, I will cover your entry-level debt, and if you win, it will be all yours."

It is said that to participate in this game, you will have to stay on the cruise ship for about a week, so you need to ask for leave in advance.

Originally planning to hang out with Miharu Taki for a while, Naoki was no longer in the mood. After a quick cleanup, Naoki went to apply for leave.

"I want to travel abroad with my parents."

He made up an excuse and the student union didn't ask any questions and gave Naoki a note for leave.

In this college, teachers really have no presence at all, and all matters are handled by the student union.

At 7 o'clock on Friday evening, Naoki got on Ikki Shimamo's motorcycle and arrived in front of the cruise ship at the beach.

The sea was pitch black, and a large cruise ship floated on the surface, its tall shadow casting a shadow over every visitor.

Why do the rich in this world love to play this kind of exciting game? Perhaps appreciating the struggles of the lower classes is the greatest joy for them.

He sighed that the world was too dark, while Sheng Zhimawang next to him was already running around excitedly.

"We are here to gamble." Naoshima handed his and Naoki's invitation letters to the staff below the cruise ship.

The staff repeatedly compared their appearances. After all, it was rare to see two high school students here. They raised their eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Are you participating in the competition for someone else?"

"Correct."

Although they didn't understand, the staff still stamped the invitation and returned it to the two people, looking at them with pity.

Although these staff members were used to seeing the games that happened on the cruise ship, they still felt a little sympathy when they saw such young students.

"This cruise ship is called the Black Wheel. I heard that this kind of death gambling game is held every few months to half a year or a year. I only knew about this because my subordinates happened to know someone who received the invitation letter." While boarding the ship, Sheng Zhimawang shared the information he had inquired about.

Naoki and Naoshima were greeted by the staff and walked into the hall. The hall was spacious and luxurious, filled with wine, drinks, food and desserts for them to use.

The contestants were brought in one by one, with different ages, genders and clothes, and were marked with numbers and nameplates. When the boat officially set sail at nine o'clock, Naoki took a quick look and saw that there were about ninety people.

"Xiaowang, where are you going?"

Sheng Zhima, who was drinking a bottle of beer, said, "It must be going to the high seas. Although everyone has signed a life-or-death agreement, this kind of gambling, where you risk your life, is not a risk on the high seas."

Moreover, even if the contestants regretted and wanted to run away, they couldn't.

Perhaps because they knew they were about to participate in a life-and-death game, few contestants ate and many of them talked to each other to reduce their tension.

Naoki and Naoki were also approached by an older sister.

The reason this long-haired older sister owed money was because she had given too many gifts to the female anchor and overdrawn her credit card loan to date her. After her money was drained out, she was ruthlessly kicked out.

The elder sister gritted her teeth when she talked about how she was deceived by beauty and how the woman she had been dating for several months was so cruel to her.

Naoki didn't know how to comfort the other person. After all, she was not the kind of person who would spend a lot of money on emotional value.

"There's no way out anyway. The debt collectors have come several times, and everyone knows I owe money. Everything in my house has been smashed to pieces, and I've lost my job. I can't make ends meet. If this continues, I'll be dead. Why are you here, and why are you so young?"

Naoki pulled Ishimamo back and spoke first, "Our parents ran away from home after owing a huge debt. The debt collectors found us, and we're still students. How can we afford the money? That's why we had no choice but to participate in this game."

Hearing this, the long-haired sister's eyes showed a little pity: "We are all pitiful people."

That's right, the players in this game are all desperate people with huge debts. If two players appear in the game who are not only not in debt but are just playing for fun, they will be targeted.

Ikushima had a talent for gambling, but Naoki didn't. She didn't want to be targeted before she even started.

"Xiao Wang. I'm a little curious." Looking at the carefree way that Shima Wang drank and ate meat, Naoki said, "You're out all day... uh, playing. Don't your parents mind?"

Come to think of it, Shimamo was also from a wealthy family, so why did she become a gangster? And she played around all day, and her parents didn't care.

"Ah, I can do whatever I want. As long as I'm happy, my parents will agree to anything."

What an enviable educational philosophy.

Unlike Miharu Taki Sakura, her family probably doesn't allow her to associate with bad people and make friends with them.

The rules and regulations of those aristocratic families that have been around for more than a hundred years are the most difficult to deal with.

I don't think Miharu Taki's family would approve of him dating her. Divorced parents, a poor family background, and being too good-looking and not serious are all negative points.

Inexplicably thinking of long-term things, Naoki shook his head. It was too far-fetched to think about these things. The girl hadn't expressed her feelings to him at all, but he had even thought about the scene of meeting her parents at the wedding.

Besides, there was no way they could possibly get to the point of marriage, as everything would be over after graduation. It didn't matter what the other person's family thought, after all, Naoki didn't need to marry into a wealthy family.

"Don't you want to eat something? You might not be able to eat tomorrow."

At this time, the servants brought some grilled steaks. Naoki was jealous and asked for one too.

The steak is thick and grilled to be soft and juicy. It doesn't need any sauce and is delicious even when eaten alone.

After eating a piece of steak, drinking a bowl of salmon head soup and two small bread rolls, Naoki was completely full.

At eleven o'clock, everything was removed and a masked host came on stage.

"Everyone should have eaten dinner by now, so I will now announce the rules of the gambling we are about to participate in. Please rest assured that the gambling will not officially begin until 3 pm tomorrow."

Announcing the rules in advance will allow them to think about and research tactics, which will be more beneficial to them.

"The gamble we're going to play is a classic, Russian roulette with six players."

When they heard about Russian roulette, many people began to whisper.

Sheng Zhima looked up excitedly, because this was the game she played most often, but since she had no opponent to play with her, she could only play by herself.

"Well, now, please invite six lucky players to come to the front to experience it. Since this is a rehearsal, no live ammunition will be used."

The masked man read out the numbers: "2, 21, 34, 56, 79, 93."

Naoki is number 34 and was lucky enough to get the opportunity to perform in this preview.

It is undoubtedly an advantage to be able to familiarize yourself with the gambling content in advance before the official gambling begins.

Six people sat at a round gambling table. The masked man took the revolver presented by the waiter and said, "As you can see, the pistol can hold six bullets in total."

"Before the game begins, everyone needs to draw the number of live ammunition for this round, randomly one to five."

The servant brought over a plate with five cards on the back that were exactly the same.

"Girl, you choose."

Perhaps because Naoki was the youngest among these players, the masked man called her name.

Since it was just a preview, Naoki chose the one in the middle.

The masked man put the card aside and said, "It's worth mentioning that the number of live bullets drawn will not be disclosed to everyone, but since this is a preview, I can tell you that it's four live bullets. Not very lucky."

Naoki:......

This is labeled as bad luck.

"This round of pistols will be loaded with four live bullets and two duds, and the positions of the bullets will be randomly determined by a computer." The masked man placed the loaded pistol in the middle of the round table and rotated it at random.

After a few seconds, the gun stopped in front of Naoki.

Naoki:......

This luck is simply amazing.

The masked man smiled and said, "This girl will start shooting first. It's worth mentioning that you can freely choose to shoot yourself or anyone else."

"If the person shot in this round is a dud, there will be a reward of five million."

“If you are hit by live ammunition, the accumulated amount will be transferred to the person who fired the shot.”

Naoki hesitated, holding the heavy revolver.

She believed that most people would not choose to shoot themselves if they got a gun, even if there was only one bullet in it, rather than betting on a one in six probability.

So if you shoot someone, it will create an enemy, and when it is the other person's turn to shoot, they will definitely choose to shoot you.

After thinking for a while, Naoki still wanted to create an image of himself as a kind person. After all, it was just a rehearsal. If he acted kind in front of everyone, he would not be easily targeted tomorrow.

"I chose to shoot myself."

The masked man waved his hand. "You can choose to shoot any part of the body, but only the head and torso. The same applies when shooting others. In other words, if you have strong vitality, you can still finish the game even if you get shot multiple times."

"Of course, doctors won't treat you until the game is over. But if you're lucky enough to survive the game, you'll have a chance to be treated."

"As long as you are not unconscious and can still speak and shoot, you are considered a player on the field. Otherwise, you will be eliminated immediately."

In that case, no one would be stupid enough to shoot at each other, but since this is just a rehearsal, it doesn't matter.

Naoki pulled the trigger towards his temple.

There was a muffled sound and a puff of smoke came out of the muzzle.

"Haha, this is considered as being shot. If there is a cumulative amount at this time, since no one shot you, the amount will not be lost."

Naoki put down his gun in frustration.

"Now it's the next person's turn."

Circling clockwise, it is the turn of player 2 to Naoki's left.

He thought for a while. There were still three live bullets, which meant the probability was one in two.

Then, he pointed the gun at Naoki: "I choose to shoot No. 34."

Naoki:......

Naoki's mouth twitched. Of course there was a reason why No. 2 did this.

When you don't want to shoot yourself and there are no players worth taking away, it is a safe approach to shoot the previous player.

Because there were six bullets in total, and Naoki had just fired a gun, she had no chance to fire again, so she would not retaliate in this round because of this incident.

No. 2 pulled the trigger, the revolver clicked, but nothing happened, it was a dud.

The screen next to the gambling table immediately showed that Naoki's bonus amount was five million.

No. 2 curled his lips and felt it was a pity, so he gave the gun to the next player, No. 21.

Naoki looked at the reward amount and thought to himself that this was not good.

Yes, as she expected, No. 21 pointed the gun at her again.

With three live rounds left, the probability of being shot increases to three-quarters.

At this time, no one would choose to take risks on themselves.

Then, she, the lucky person who just won the prize, will become the target.

There was a muffled bang, smoke and dust exploded, and Naoki was shot again.

Her reward amount was quickly transferred to No. 21.

No. 21 looked happy.

Next, it was No. 56's turn.

Before No. 21 could be happy, No. 56 chose to shoot him.

With a bang, five million was transferred to No. 56 again.

Naoki realized that anyone who received the reward before the gambling game was over would become a target of public criticism. No one would dare to shoot him except himself, who had other motives.

This is the case for just the audition, no one would dare to take the risk in a formal bet.

There are only two bullets left now, one live and one dud.

The next player had no intention of taking any risks and shot at No. 56, successfully taking away the opponent's 500 million with another shot.

Knowing that there was no live ammunition left, the last player chose to shoot himself and won two million.

If everyone who was shot dies, there will now be three players left on the field.

The number of live ammunition used in official competitions is unknown, which may make the competition process more unexpected.
