Chapter 76
According to Huan Yan's speculation, although for a player, there are four combinations of food, the probability of being non-toxic is [-]/[-].

But there is a problem in this, that is, each player can only choose once, but the three foods selected by three people must be combined into three combinations.

That is, each selected food will be eaten by two players.

In the case that each food was paired twice, it was really lucky to be able to form a non-toxic combination.

In other words, this setting is too kind.

If it were her, she would never design such a plan.

Although she doesn't know what the purpose of creating these games is, it is obviously not to entertain players.

There will be players dying in the game, which is enough to prove the cruelty of the game. Presumably the final level cannot be designed so easily.

Then, it is more reasonable that each food has only one chance to be combined into a non-toxic meal.

For example, in a clockwise direction, A needs to eat A1 and C1 to form a non-toxic meal, then B can only eat A2 to form a non-toxic meal, and C must eat C2 to form a non-toxic meal.

Among them, the food of B that B and C need is completely different, if B needs B1, then what C needs is B2.

In this way, the combination of non-toxic meals that each player needs will not have any food overlap.

Therefore, no matter how three people choose, at most one person can eat a completely non-toxic food combination.

According to this logic, it is basically certain that when a person eats a food combination that contains one of the non-toxic foods for the player, then it should be slightly poisoned.

And if the two meals eaten are not in the non-toxic set meal, they will be highly poisoned and die suddenly on the spot.

比如说,A需要吃A1C1才是无毒套餐,那么如果吃的是A1C2或者A2C1就是微量毒素,如果吃的是A2C2就是剧毒。

Huanyan guessed that there should be clues to the non-toxic package in this small hall.

The purpose of giving clues is not to help players pass the level smoothly, but to make players have more psychological pressure.

As long as you find relevant clues, everyone will naturally find that only one player has the chance to eat the non-toxic meal in the end, which can trigger intrigue among players, and even fight to the death.

This is more in line with the urine nature of the game.

Thinking of this, Huanyan looked up at the crystal chandelier again, and asked, "By the way, is there a time limit for this process of thinking and choosing?"

[No, you can spend as long as you want to think about it. 】The voice answered quickly, and in the next second, he rarely giggled, 【As long as you can endure hunger and sleepiness, it can be as long as you want. 】

"Did you hear that?" Huanyan looked at Xia Tuo and Xu Ye, and translated with a smile, "It means that if you try to delay time and don't make a choice, you will starve to death here."

【…】

It doesn't say so.

Although it is correct to understand this way, it does not threaten them to make a choice as soon as possible at all!
On the contrary, it expects them to procrastinate for a little longer, so that it can feel the despair after the struggle.

In fact, even if Huanyan didn't translate, Xia Tuo and Xu Ye understood this.

At this time, neither of them said a word, but their expressions were not very good.

Xu Ye frowned, looking distressed.

He didn't know where the clues were, so it was hard to think of what to do without clues.

Xia Tuo's face was slightly gloomy, obviously he thought more than Xu Ye.

The guess in Huanyan's heart, he had already thought of it in the long silence just now.

This choice can only guarantee that at most one person is safe and sound.

Currently there are only two paths.

Or if all three of them choose the micro-poison package, although they can pass the game together, the damage to the body caused by the toxin is unknown.

Either one of them gets the non-toxic package, and the other two are destined to have one of the mildly toxic package and the other a highly toxic package.

While ensuring the absolute safety of one person, it means the complete death of another person.

If everything is as he guessed...how should he choose?

If the players present were all strangers, he would choose to protect himself without hesitation, but now...

When Xia Tuo was struggling with herself, Huanyan raised her hand boredly to touch the cup of warm milk in front of her, then raised her eyebrows slightly, and touched the plastic-wrapped sandwich.

This movement did not escape Xia Tuo's eyes, especially the momentary micro-expression of Huan Yan.

He came back to his senses, and reached out to touch the preserved egg and lean pork porridge in front of him.

The moment he touched the porcelain bowl, he felt that the preserved egg and lean pork porridge in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of black mist.

After he withdrew his hand, that feeling disappeared.

He tentatively touched the meat bun next to him, and the bun was covered with a thin layer of white mist.

Xia Tuo suddenly understood.

That's it for clue hints!
If he guessed correctly, the black mist represented food that was poisonous to him, and the white mist represented food that was not poisonous to him.

In other words, he had to choose to eat meat buns in order to get a non-toxic set meal.

but……

Xia Tuo's eyes turned to Xu Ye who had been thinking hard with his head down.

According to the clockwise direction, his food should be given to Xu Ye, Xu Ye's food should be given to Huan Yan, and Huan Yan's food should be given to him.

If he chose meat buns, then Xu Ye would also have to eat meat buns, but according to the previous speculation, meat buns are not poisonous to him, so they are poisonous to Xu Ye.

Xia Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought.

Huanyan noticed Xia Tuo's movements and knew that Xia Tuo had found the clue. She had a panoramic view of Xia Tuo's expression, with a look of anticipation on her face.

Looking at Xia Tuo's expression, she knew that Xia Tuo should also understand that at most one of the three could leave the game unscathed, and his choice would determine Xu Ye's life or death.

From the perspective of guarding against each other, it is safest for everyone to choose food that is non-toxic to themselves.

In this way, at least it can be guaranteed that the formed meal will never cause him to be poisoned to death, even if he cannot eat the non-toxic meal, at most it will be a trace amount of toxin.

This is also the fairest choice - each player's result is a micropoison, and they can clear the game.

But everyone has selfishness, and most people hope that they will not take any risks, and they will want to get the results that are most beneficial to them.

Just like what Xia Tuo said before, the fact that a small amount of toxin is not fatal does not mean that it will not cause continuous and permanent damage to the body.

If it is a chronic toxin that will continue to erode and torture the poisoned person, then the rest of his life will be spent in pain.

Huanyan raised the corners of her lips slightly.

She was suddenly curious, what choice Xia Tuo would make, would he negotiate terms with her for self-protection?

The current Xu Ye obviously hasn't found any clues yet, and he doesn't know that at most one of the three people can get the non-toxic package.

And this is Xia Tuo's opportunity.

As long as Xia Tuo fooled Xu Ye into choosing food that was non-toxic to her in exchange, she might be willing to give Xia Tuo food that was non-toxic to Xia Tuo.

After all, as long as there is a food that is not poisonous to her, she will not die from the poison.

The possibility of a normal person being willing to agree is not very high, but she stated from the beginning that it doesn't matter if she eats the slightly poisonous set meal, so Xia Tuo might think that he has a chance to negotiate terms.

It's just that Xu Ye has to be sacrificed to make all of this happen.

Xu Ye will eat two foods that are poisonous to him, and he will die from the poison.

Although judging from the time Huanyan and Xia Tuo spent together, Xia Tuo is not the kind of person who only cares about himself and uses others by any means, but at the moment of life and death, his true nature will be exposed.

And Huan Yan and Xia Tuo haven't been together for a long time, and naturally they don't know much about Xia Tuo's nature.

Because of this, she was really curious what choice Xia Tuo would make.

The joyful gaze was undisguised, Xia Tuo couldn't possibly fail to feel it, and he quickly recovered from his thoughts.

Seeing Xia Tuo looking at her, she smiled brightly, but she didn't speak.

Xia Tuo seemed to have made a decision, he took a sip of his preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and then handed it to Xu Ye.

At the same time, he said to Xu Ye: "Xu Ye, touch the two foods in front of you and choose the one with white mist."

Hearing this, Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised.

Xia Tuo didn't seem to want to tell Xu Ye the truth, but he asked Xu Ye to choose Baiwu food... He wanted to give Xu Ye the chance to get the non-toxic set meal, but he was afraid that Xu Ye would not cooperate if he knew it, so Did you deliberately not explain the situation?

Xu Ye is obviously not a player known for his IQ, and he is used to taking orders from Xia Tuo.

So after Xia Tuo spoke, Xu Ye obediently touched the deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk in front of him, then pointed to the deep-fried dough sticks and said, "This one is steaming with white mist."

"Eat." Xia Tuo spoke in a commanding tone without nonsense or hesitation.

Xu Ye didn't hesitate either, obediently took a mouthful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and then took another bite of fried dough sticks.

Then he handed the fritters in his hand to Huanyan.

Huanyan looked at the fried dough stick in her hand. The moment she touched the fried dough stick, the surface was covered by a thin layer of black mist.

Sure enough, as she guessed, to Xu Ye, the non-toxic food with white mist was poisonous to her.

This also means that all her previous speculations have been established.

Among the three players, if one chooses the non-toxic package, the other must be poisoned to death.

Despite confirming this, Huanyan switched to the other end and took a bite of the fritters.

If she chooses everything, it's useless if she doesn't eat it.

Now, only Huanyan has not chosen her own food.

She didn't rush to make a choice, but looked at Xia Tuo and asked, "Did Xu Ye eat the non-toxic set meal?"

Xia Tuo didn't deny it: "Yes."

He was not surprised that Huanyan could guess this.

He knew that Huanyan was a smart little girl, and she should be able to think of everything he could think of, so there was no need for him to hide it.

After getting an affirmative answer, Huanyan felt her heart vibrate.

She had an indescribably touched feeling.

When Xu Ye heard this answer, he didn't think much about it, he still didn't understand what it meant.

Xia Tuo stood up suddenly and walked to Huanyan's side, and said to Huanyan in a very low voice that Xu Ye couldn't hear: "To me, he is not just a bodyguard or a subordinate."

He didn't explain more, paused, and said: "Sorry, I have to make such a choice in order to protect him. But you can still choose a mild poison package, and you won't die. If you are poisoned Your future has been suffering, and you resent me for this, and that is the consequence I should bear."

He didn't want to hurt Huanyan.

But Xu Ye has been with him since he was a child, taking care of his daily life and protecting his safety.

To him, Xu Ye is actually his best friend.

He and Huanyan have only known each other for less than a month. If he had to choose between Xu Ye and Huanyan, he would choose to keep Xu Ye.

Huanyan blinked her eyes, and she confirmed in a low voice: "Are you planning to sacrifice yourself to let Xu Ye and I clear the game?"

"Yes." Xia Tuo's expression was resolute, without any hesitation or timidity.

"Didn't you always want to live?" Huanyan was a little puzzled, "Don't you feel unwilling to give up now?"

She knew that Xia Tuo went to top doctors from all over the world just to cure her heart problem.

Including keeping her by his side, half of the reason is to find out if she can help his heart recover.

Obviously, Xia Tuo's desire to survive is very strong.

But such a strong desire to survive was easily given up by Xia Tuo.

Perhaps it was because of Huanyan's lack of memory, which led to a lack of emotion. She couldn't understand Xia Tuo's thoughts.

"At any time in normal times, I would try my best to fight for a chance, but under such circumstances, my life is the last thing to fight for." Xia Tuo smiled rarely.

He was ready to die.

In fact, he knew that even if he found something special to him like Huanyan, it might not be able to cure his heart problem.

And if Huanyan died in the game, if he wanted to wait for medical technology to advance to the point where he could be cured, the chances would be even slimmer.

If he clears the game himself, but still won't live to be 30 years old, then he might as well give someone else the chance to live.

At least others can live for decades and have the chance to live a hundred years, which is much more cost-effective than him.

Seeing that Xia Tuo had been whispering to Huanyan all the time, Xu Ye felt ominous in his heart for some reason.

"Brother Xia," Xu Ye couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?"

Why avoid him?
Is there something he can't let him know?

Thinking of this, Xu Ye's expression immediately became tense.

Could it be that there is only one non-toxic set meal, and if I give it to him, Brother Xia will be gone?

 Version [-]: The hero dies, and the heroine breaks through the level alone

  Version [-]: The heroine dies, the end of the whole play

  Huanyan & Xia Tuo: (patting the table) Here is a chance for you to reorganize the language!
  Me: Calm down!I still have version three...
