"Open the cards."

Seeing that both sides were ready, the Demon System announced the opening of the game.

"Stone!"

Naoki flipped open his hand.

The little ghost smiled brightly: "I'm so sorry, I'm Boo this time!"

The little ghost took the initiative to reveal the remaining cards: "All three are paper. What bad luck, I can only play paper. I didn't expect to win."

Seeing this, the other onlookers couldn't help but complain about Naoki's luck: "What the hell, he actually lost to such a rubbish hand."

There is a one-third chance of losing.

Igarashi Qinghua no longer wanted to tolerate them and said coldly, "Since you didn't play, don't make such sarcastic remarks. Or do you think you are stronger? After Naoki loses, you will be the second to compete?"

The companions shook their heads and retreated. They were joking. The first time was free and they could give it a try, but the second time would be a gamble of their souls. They didn't want to go up on their own until the last moment.

The mind-reading progress bar increased by another ten percent.

Although the progress bar has increased, at this speed, it can only reach 50% after five rounds.

We can't lose the second game.

Round three.

Naoki got two scissors and one rock.

This time, Naoki thought for a while and did not decide on the cards in his hand. Instead, he took out the stone and showed it to the little ghost.

"I don't want this card. Guess what I'm going to play."

Since you can't read other people's minds, you can only actively reveal information and induce them to make moves.

As expected, after seeing Naoki's operation, Xiao Gui frowned and hesitated for a long time before deciding what to do.

But Naoki had already made up his mind. After all, the remaining two cards were both scissors, so it didn't matter which one he played.

As for Xiaogui, Naoki threw away the rock, which could be because the opponent was planning to play either scissors or paper, or because the opponent had two rocks and was deliberately trying to interfere with him, so he could still play rock.

Of these two possibilities, the latter is less likely to occur to you.

The Demon System announced the opening of the third round: "Open the cards!"

Both players flip their cards simultaneously.

As expected, Naoki's was scissors, and as for the kid - it was cloth!

In the third round, Naoki wins!

The kid was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice: "You won the bet."

In the end, the little ghost didn't take the obvious first layer, thinking it was a trap; instead, he chose a deeper approach.

However, Naoki chose the most obvious approach.

In fact, people often think that the answers they carefully calculate and deduce are correct, while the answers that are easily obtained and in plain sight are traps.

Of course, there is also a kind of mental inertia in this. If you think that Naoki will actually produce a stone after throwing the stone, then you only need to produce paper.

If you think Naoki will choose scissors or paper, you also need to think about whether it is scissors or paper.

The victory in the third round not only temporarily turned the situation around, but also the progress bar of mind reading soared by 30% due to the little ghost's failure in this round, reaching 50% in an instant.

Round four!

Naoki got the cards.

Her luck took a turn for the better, and this time she actually got three scissors.

He tried hard not to show his disappointment, thought for a while, and tried the same trick again.

Perhaps, such unlucky cards can just give you an advantage.

"I'll give you another hint this round. I won't play either of these two cards."

Naoki smiled and threw out two pairs of scissors.

"Throw away the two pairs of scissors?"

The little ghost snorted coldly, "Do you think I will be fooled?"

Because the initial number of cards is the same, the probability of getting three identical cards is extremely low.

Moreover, if the opponent really gets three scissors, it is better to throw away only one scissors to confuse yourself instead of throwing away two.

If we think based on this premise, the opponent is either cloth or stone.

Out comes the cloth!

"Both sides open!"

The demon system's voice still showed no emotion, as if it was the same to it no matter who gained the advantage.

Naoki took out his scissors.

The little ghost widened his eyes and stood up in disbelief: "It really is three pairs of scissors!"

Igarashi Qinghua's mouth corners curled up. This kid's mind has completely fallen into Naoki's rhythm.

The most taboo thing in psychological gambling such as rock-paper-scissors is to follow the rhythm of your opponent, so that the originally irregular card moves will become logical and deducible.

In the fourth round, Xiaogui's paper lost to Naoki's scissors.

Currently, Naoki's results are two wins, one loss and one draw.

The kid sighed and sat down. "Okay, I admit you're not bad. But we still have to compete in the fifth round. I still have a chance of a draw."

Perhaps it was because the little devil was hit hard again in the fourth round, leaving only a chance of a draw, his psychological defense was broken, and the progress bar of his mind-reading ability was suddenly filled up.

At this moment, the little devil's inner thoughts were exposed to Naoki's eyes without reservation.

Round five.

[It's one rock, paper, scissors, and one each. Pretty good cards. Based on the cards I've revealed so far and the cards I've already dealt, the opponent has a high chance of getting both rock and paper in the final round.]

[In that case, should we release the cloth? ]

He actually didn't cheat. This kid is at least more ethical than the previous one.

Naoki looked at the cards in his hand, and coincidentally, the probability was exactly the same as what the kid had guessed: two rocks and one cloth.

Without scissors, if the little devil plays paper this round, he will not win.

"Hey, kid, I have a suggestion. Why don't we have some fun in the last round? Let's choose each other's cards to decide the winner."

Naoki placed his three cards on the table: "You choose which one I will play this time, how about that?"

The kid thought to himself, what is this girl doing? I have one card each of rock, paper, scissors, and the probability is the same no matter which one I choose.

If she wanted to mislead herself and manipulate her own card playing like she did in the first two rounds, it would be impossible to achieve. It would just become a pure game of luck.

In fact, since Xiaogui successfully deduced from the cards that had appeared that Naoki's hand this time was probably rock and cloth, Naoki could no longer adopt the strategy of the first two rounds.

Because once she discards a card and it is seen that it is really rock or paper, the little ghost will definitely stick to his idea and play paper.

Even if he won this round, the kid thought to himself, it would still be a draw, so there was no loss. Since he couldn't outsmart the girl in front of him logically, he might as well just gamble on his luck.

"Okay, that sounds interesting."

The kid looked at Naoki's three cards and said, "Let me see which one I should choose."

Then, without much hesitation, it picked the one in the middle.

That one is a stone.

The corners of Naoki's mouth curled up slightly, and it looked the same in both photos.

Naoki's hand reached out to the third card in front of the kid.

[Hmm, is she going to choose a stone?]

Naoki's hand came to the middle one again: "You chose the middle one, why don't I choose this one too."

[Heh, I picked cloth. Anyway, I have one of each of the three, so the probability is balanced.]

Naoki took the first one, moved to the kid's card area, and said with a smile: "After thinking about it, I still want this one."

In the final round, both sides open their cards.

Rock vs. Scissors, Naoki wins again!

The kid sighed deeply, not feeling too disappointed: "Never mind, I lost by luck, I accept it."

As the lamp was lit, Igarashi Kiyoka smiled and hugged Naoki.

"Great, Naoki, you win."

"Well, Senior, that was a close call just now. Fortunately, you always believed in me, so I was able to win!"

Naoki held Qinghua's hand and confessed, "When we lost the second round, everyone felt that we shouldn't have lost to such a bad hand. It was because of the seniors who spoke up for me that I was able to turn the tide."

The others couldn't help but show embarrassed expressions. Although that was their true thought at that time, the fact was that both gambles were won by the girl in front of them.

Good news came one after another, and news of victory came one after another from the other two gambles.

All five lamps were lit.

A deer-headed demon emerged.

It looked at everyone with a ferocious look and said, "I really don't want to see anyone complete the game I designed, but I will still give you a reward."

"These are the demon coins you earned in this game."

The devil coins fell into Naoki's hands, and she said in surprise: "Wow, there are twenty of them."

"Hey, why do I only have ten?"

"I also have ten."

"I only have one, what the hell!"

A man who only received one demon coin complained loudly.

The deer-headed demon glared at him and said, "Demon coins are distributed based on each person's performance during the level-clearing process. You didn't do anything, and you got one because you must have at least one. Otherwise, I wouldn't give you any."

Only then did Naoki realize that this man had been slacking off the entire time. Not only did he not contribute any wisdom to the decryption, he also never made a single gamble.

After hearing this explanation, everyone who was about to complain about the uneven distribution of demon coins stopped complaining. Everyone knew what everyone had done.

There are those who are actively deciphering, and there are also those who are willing to take risks and gamble.

Naturally, there are three or four people who are just slacking off, but these three or four people are destined not to get the rewards for their adventure.

“How many seniors are there?”

Almost all the codes on the doors were solved by Tsinghua University, so the harvest must be very good.

"Thirty."

Qinghua did not hide it and told Naoki directly.

“More than me.”

Qinghua explained: "The scoring says that twenty medals are the reward for decrypting the code, and ten medals are the reward for organizing and arranging the route forward and successfully passing the level."

Naoki was just about to talk to Qinghua again, but the impatient deer-headed demon teleported everyone away from this world.

……

Naoki fell onto the quilt. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that the coat she was wearing belonged to Tsinghua University and was also brought back.

Half past ten.

I'd better wash it and return it to Tsinghua tomorrow.

Naoki threw the jacket into the washing machine, then into the dryer, then took it out, folded it neatly and put it in a bag so that he could return it directly to Tsinghua.

She took a look at the favorability interface and realized that in just a short while, Qinghua's favorability towards her had increased by five points, now reaching 18 points.

Maybe it's because we completed this game together that the friendship between us became stronger.

……

The next day, after class in the afternoon, Naoki took his bag and went to Igarashi's class at Tsinghua University to find her.

"Is Igarashi-senpai not here?"
