Tokyo Wingman King

Chapter 85. 82. Tokyo Bay Cruises and the Barnum Effect

Yinghe's students were all mobilized by the puzzle-solving task designed by Konoe, and they shuttled around the decks in a panic.

Many people sprinted at full speed, passing by the three of Asama.

I really envy this youthful vitality!
Asama is the kind [remaining in awe of the unknown, so will reduce necessary activities];
An energy conservationist who expresses indifference to the known and therefore reduces necessary activities.

Don't do what is unnecessary, and keep things simple.

Can sit without standing, can lie down without sitting, never ask for trouble, never do anything eye-catching, reduce the sense of presence and reduce social consumption, try to repeat reading if you don’t want to talk, and immediately admit defeat when encountering disputes.

After all, there is only physical strength 3, and the battery life is equivalent to the NEDC pure electric battery life version of Wuling Hongguang MINI, which is incomparable with other students who often have a battery life of 600 kilometers.

Every grid of electricity must be used with justification and evidence.

Doing everything with enthusiasm will only harm yourself!

Just thinking about forced to play for three days in this [Cruise Ship Game] designed by Konoe Chiyo, Asama couldn't help but feel a pain in his forehead.

This is purely an obsession with a thief.

Living on an isolated island in a storm, living in a mountain villa in a snowstorm, and boarding a plane hijacked by terrorists, countless scenes of the same trouble as the present flashed through Asama's mind.

[Class A of the first year, Ryuzaki Hayato used cheating props, and was judged to have failed the mission and was eliminated. 】

[Class K of the first year, Seiichiro Yasaka used cheating props, and was judged to have failed the mission and was eliminated. 】

[This puzzle-solving task, the second person to complete it, Class D of the second year, Gui Gongping. 】

[This puzzle-solving task, the third completer, Class A of the first year, Arima Yoshihiko. 】

Surprising news came one after another on the radio.

I don't know why Ryuzaki, the low-key student in class A, cheated, but when he heard Yasaka from class K, who appeared out of nowhere and seemed not easy to deal with, also cheated, Asama felt that things were not that simple.

From the first-year K class to the third-year R class, the collective combat atmosphere of Yinghe Academy has been mobilized, and there are more self-protection small teams like the Asama three.

In the absence of mobile phones and electronic devices, the level of organizational ability of each group is reflected.

Sightseeing elevators and ordinary elevators are controlled by people from different groups, most people don't give them up, and they mainly use a delaying tactic.

The three of Asama naturally didn't touch this bad luck.

Futami was in charge of pointing out the direction for Asama and Fukasawa with the map, and the three went around and found the unattended escape stairs.

The three chose to take the stairs to the Italian Cafe on the 8th floor of the cruise ship.

Just after passing the corner, several people met Arima who had completed the task.

A horse carrying a backpack and dragging luggage stopped at the stairs.

The tall and heroic young man quietly watched Asama and the three approaching, and asked,
"Fukasawa, Futami, Asama, how is your puzzle-solving task going? Do you have any clue?"

Fukasawa smiled and took the initiative to chat with Arima,

"Compared to Arima-kun, you are far behind! Asama-kun and Yue-chan's problem has been solved. I have encountered some bottlenecks in the B-level difficulty task here, and I am going to look for other clues."

"need my help?"

Fukasawa clasped his hands skillfully,
"It would be great to have Arima-kun's support."

After Fukasawa communicated his puzzle with Arima for a round, Arima pondered,

"I haven't read Szymborska, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with [FSN] that Asama deduced.

The key difficulty now is that we don't know how these three-letter abbreviations have anything to do with the legend.

Legends are generally related to regions, countries, and ethnic groups. "

Fukasawa sighed.

"FSN, according to the position of the alphabet, is 61914, but there is no clue, at least none of the room numbers of the entire ship match. If it is the equipment number, you have to ask the staff."

Er Jian nodded and said,

"But the correlation between the number and the legend is not high. I didn't get any useful information by using the overlapping method. If it is the front, south, and north, it has little connection with the legend."

Fukasawa pointed with his left hand and tapped his head lightly with three fingers,

“It would be nice if I had a cell phone to check it out”

After thinking for half a minute, Arima seemed to have an answer.

"I have some clues about the three letters FNS.

First of all, F generally thinks of France, N may be Napoleon, and S most likely refers to the second anti-French alliance.

If you think about it this way, go to the art gallery on the 7th floor to find out if there are any paintings of Napoleon, or in the library, find out if there is any "Biography of Napoleon" or "French Civil Code"?
But legends always give people a sense of distance
F may also be Finland, and S is the artifact Sanbao Mill, but N is not sure what it is.

Uh. I have said a lot, but there is no information that can help. Sorry. "

Arima bowed solemnly to Fukasawa, and Fukasawa waved his hand,
"No, no, Arima-kun is already very powerful. Thanks to Arima-kun, I already have 2 more clues here, right? A breakthrough from 0 to 2!"

"Yes, Arima-san is very powerful." X2
Asama and Futami nodded in cooperation.

Fukasawa then asked curiously,
"By the way, Arima-kun, the first three people who solved the puzzle are all from your student union. Do you have any inside information?"

Arima shook his head,

"Although this time is an activity organized by our student union, all the links of all the tasks are actually designed and formulated by the teachers. We don't have the right to know the answers in advance."

Seeing Er suddenly asked,

"Why didn't Arima-san complete the A-level difficulty task like Konoe-san did?"

Arima showed an embarrassed expression,
"Look, I can't even finish Fukasawa's B-level mission."

Asama asked,

"Arima, you probably chose the D-level difficulty task on purpose, right?"

"???" X2
Arima smiled wryly,

"Have you seen it?"

"It's useless even if you choose a D-level mission. After all, if the mission fails, you can only live in the worst room. Looking at the layout of this ship, there are 200 rooms without balconies. Holds 150 idiots."

Futami and Fukasawa looked at Asama and Arima in confusion.

"Is there any reward for finishing in the top ten?"

"Choose one of the three, upgrade, bonus, and the right to force a room change."

"Did you choose to change rooms?"

Arima nodded,
"Didn't someone tell me the day before yesterday that opponents are the most equal relationship?"

"But she is also in the top ten, and she is also in the top ten for A-level tasks. Are her rewards different from yours?"

"The original setting is that the rewards for the top ten of A-level have one more option than the general top ten rewards-the right to suspend any reward for anyone. But both the president and I objected to this option. The final reward system is I don't know what the teachers decided."

Arima looked at the time,
"I'll go to the room to pack my luggage first. Time is running out, please come on."

After speaking, he took the suitcase and walked downstairs.

Seeing Arima disappearing from the corner of the stairs, Futami asked,
"Shizumi-kun, just now you said that Arima chose D-level missions on purpose, why did he do that?"

"It's like a table of dishes, you leave the best dishes for others, or the teacher mentions bananas among the children, and you who are in charge of dividing the bananas take the initiative to eat the only banana that is rotten, it feels like this."

"...Arima-kun gave better reward rights to other people, why did you do that?"

"He shouldn't be the only one doing this. I think everyone in the student union should have this kind of thinking. For example, the second president who completed the task did not complete the A-level task.

After all, they are the designers of this event, and they have more or less advantages over us. Choosing the option with a lower reward level may be a kind of compensation psychology.But Arima should simply want to give good rewards to others. "

Fukasawa looked at Asama with strange eyes,

"I feel that Arima-kun and Asama-kun are very familiar. They obviously don't have much communication at ordinary times. Could it be that?"

"Don't think it doesn't exist just because you haven't seen it. Arima and I are both cypress boys, and there are still a lot of academic exchanges.

Let's not talk about this, just now there is a horse that gave me some inspiration.

If F is France, S can also be a stone, and N is Nicole May, the French alchemist's legend of the Philosopher's Stone. The core of this legend is eternal life.

You can ask the staff later to see if you can find any useful information. "

"OK, all right."

The three chatted while walking, without any sense of urgency to do the task, and did not change their plan to start love consultation with Fukasawa after helping Erjian find the answer to the mystery later.

Feeling Futami's gaze on the back of her head, Asama turned her head and asked,

"What's wrong."

Seeing Asama's condescending and indifferent expression, Futami suddenly became bold,
"It's nothing. The members feel that the Minister is very reliable. It's not unnatural to observe the profile of the Minister respectfully."

Fukasawa covered his mouth and let out an annoying "fufufu" sound.

The three walked up to the 8th floor.

"Left or right?"

Asama asked about Erjian.

"Ah, I've been looking at Shizumi-kun just now, so I don't know, wait a minute."

"Wow, are you fascinated by Asama-kun? Tsuki-chan~~~"

"Because, Mr. Jingshui is very exciting, in various aspects."

Surprised by the change of Futami, who was still shy and speechless a few weeks ago, and lamenting Futami's continuous straight ball attacks, Fukasawa came back to his senses, hugged Futami and put his face on it.

"Hey hey~ Yue-chan, let me tell you that the two of you are in love~"

"They say no! Xuejiang, what are you doing with your hands?"

". Fukasawa, have you ever heard this sentence? Longing is the feeling that is the furthest from understanding."

Asama didn't look back at the entanglement of the two girls, took out his own map, went straight to the left, and walked towards the stern of the ship.

There is a retro decorative mirror on the wall near the window on the east side of the Italian Cafe. When the mirror is taken off, a transparent plastic card the same size as the task envelope is pasted on the wall, with [C-26] written in the center of the card.

Erjian got the answer to the riddle, and the three of them took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the window seat by the mirror, and each ordered a cup of coffee.

Asama asked the waiter,

"Can you order dessert here?"

The waiter shook his head,
"I'm sorry, young master, all the food on the ship needs to be exchanged for food coupons."

"It's okay. I want to ask you, is there any place or thing related to [FSN] or [Eternal Life] on this ship?"

"[FSN] or [Eternal Life]? Not sure. I suggest that the young master can ask the captain, he may know these things."

After thanking the waiter, Asama stopped thinking about solving puzzles for the time being.

He looked at Fukasawa who was stirring the ice cubes in the latte with a straw, and asked straightforwardly,

"How did the Imperial Academy reject you at that time?"

Fukasawa glanced at Futami with complicated eyes, and said slowly,

"Mr. Yuxingyuan said that he has no idea of ​​falling in love for the time being and cherishes our friendship. He doesn't want the friendship to deteriorate. He also said that he doesn't know what is worth liking about himself."

"How did you answer him?"

"I said, 'Gogyin-kun has too many things to like, such as character, knowledge, self-cultivation, the way he plays golf, the way he teaches, and the way he cares about everyone seriously.' But he didn't respond. "

Asama looked at Futami,

"Yuehai, do you have any suggestions?"

Erjian put down the coffee cup in his hand, thought carefully, and said,

"First of all, what Gogyoin-kun said [I don't want the friendship to deteriorate] should be an excuse to maintain the status quo.

So, breaking the status quo is more important than preparing for a second confession, right? "

Kan Asama nodded, Futami gained confidence and continued,

"Snow sauce, let's change and maintain a sense of mystery. Since Yuxingyuan likes Hermes, he must like adventure in his bones. If you like adventure, you will definitely like mystery. The more mysterious you are, the more he likes you. "

Although it sounds a bit outrageous, Asama still feels relieved to see that Futami's logical equations have been used proficiently.

Erjian seems to have completely entered the role of a love mentor,

"Snow Sauce, have you heard of [Barnum Effect]?
We need to use this theory to disarm people who are speaking in a defensive stance.

Any persuasion requires others to take the initiative to take the first step.Even until the last step, everything needs someone else to take the initiative.What you need to do is to let them shorten the distance between them and you through brain supplementation and misjudgment.

Since Yuxingyuan laughed at himself that he was not worthy of liking, he must not answer a certain point, but should answer——

'But, I just like the feeling of being with you. '

'For me, liking what you don't need, that kind of experience that is both reassuring and adventurous, is unique in this world. '"

Asama couldn't help but read more about Erjian, who had been in touch with love counseling for less than a week, and was already well-informed.

Is this the strength of Futami Daimyo?

Many psychological effects have multiple names, such as being named after the founder.For example, [Pygmalio Effect] is [Rosenthal Effect], and [Barnum Effect] is also called [Furrier Effect].

The core of [Barnum Effect] is abstract or fragmented expression, allowing the listener to continuously deepen certainty that is beneficial to you through concrete psychology, supplementary psychology, and subjective verification psychology.

If he told Miyukiin according to Futami's words, not to mention whether he could confess successfully, at least Miyukiin would subconsciously recall every detail of being with Fukasawa.

As long as the attention of Yuxingyuan is projected on the time between the two, the feeling of love can still be cultivated.

Fukasawa shook his head, and the straw kept stirring the ice cubes in the coffee.

"I can't say it. The atmosphere at the time was too bad, and I couldn't think of such words for a while."

Futami held Fukasawa's hand with both hands, staring at the hesitant and melancholy Fukasawa Yuki with the light of the first-class star,

"Don't fight unprepared battles, the next confession will be a decisive battle. Xuejiang, show your confidence! Isn't it a big victory for you to be frank and show weakness to you?

Cultivate a sense of mystery first, and then use more topics to arouse the desire of Yuxingyuan to confide more, so that you can become the person who knows him best and is closest to him. Then, the final confession is just a clarion call for victory! "

Asama wished to applaud, but looked at Fukasawa with a cold face,

"I said Fukasawa, if you still need to hesitate about this kind of thing, why don't you just give up?"

".Give up."

"If you don't love Yuxingyuan, you won't have so many troubles."

".I don't want to. Shengjun. I want to support Shengjun. No matter what, I want to be his strength."

"Then let's take action. I think the Royal Academy is probably in the midst of internal friction reflecting on whether their love is too superficial. Take Yuehai's suggestions carefully. In addition, buy a copy of "Cold Reading Technique" to study If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"Cold reading?"

"It's sort of [Barnum Effect].

Let me give a few examples-

Shengjun, I know your reason. You once regretted your decision. Whenever you hesitated, you worried whether your current decision was right or wrong.

Shengjun, although you usually appear to be very reliable, sometimes you have some unrealistic ideas, right?

Shengjun, did you forget your heart forever in some corner?

Let Yuxingyuan always believe that [Fukasawa Yuki has always paid attention to me], [Fukasawa Yuki knows and understands me], and finally make him unable to accept the loss of [Fukasawa Yuki], you will succeed. "

The three of them continued to discuss the method of attacking Yuxingyuan Sheng, and Asama, who was devoted to analyzing the countermeasures, did not notice at all that the notes made by Futami were all about saying "I am not interested in dating" and "I am not interested in dating". Not Qualified for Love" Shizumi Asama's [Barnum Effect] application strategy.

See you, see you!Knowledge is power!Shizumi-kun, sooner or later he will not accept the loss of [Futami Yuekai]!
The time has reached 11:20 without knowing it, and the radio broadcasted the list of the top ten and top ten A-level missions one after another. At the same time, it also broadcasted more than 10 other cheating, going to the restaurant to rob food, and going to the kitchen The name of the unlucky guy who cooks for himself.

The three of Asama decided to hurry up in the last half hour and start looking for their own answers.

Fukasawa said with a smile, it seems that she can live in the worst room and eat instant noodles.

At this time, a blue-haired girl with a lip ring walked into the coffee bar, followed by three people.

"Lishi, this place probably doesn't sell mojito American iced coffee, right?"

The eyes of Asama and Undead River met.

"Wow! Mr. Robert, Axue, and—Sister Xiaoyue~"

The scorching heat outside the deck escaped into the 8F cafe at some point.

Looking at Undead Chuan's [Runaway Sun] coiled hair, a flash of light flashed in Asama's mind,
It was actually dark under the lights. Since there is an idol chef like Cypress, it seems not surprising that there is an otaku in the class guidance group. Isn't FSN just FATE/STAY NIGHT?
"Fukasawa, I have guessed your answer."
