Chapter 71 "Game of National Destruction" Part Two

The hooded man slowly walked into the room, leaving everyone wondering if he could pass the test.

And I was lost in thought looking at the only information on the note, when Dahai came closer.

Dahai pointed to the painting on the note and said: "We probably know that this interview is about a game, a card game called the National Demise Game. But we have no idea how to play it now. We only know that everything is beneficial to the other party."

"And no one can pass this exam in five years." I added lightly.

"Do you think the guy wearing the hat can pass? This is his second exam." Dahai looked at me and said.

"Maybe, he must have thought of opportunistic ways." I said.

1 minute, 2 minutes.

10 minute, 15 minutes.

The hooded man didn't even come out, which surprised everyone.

The door in front of him was opened, and the man in the suit came out holding the man in the hood down.

The man in the suit continued to shout: "Next, No. [-]."

But the hooded man walked towards the door silently.

Dahai quickly stepped forward and grabbed the hooded man's shoulders and said, "It's taken you so long and you still haven't passed?"

The hooded man shook his head and said: "I will not come to participate again. It is simply impossible to win."

"What do you mean, then those people who passed the test before were all fake?" Dahai said.

The hooded man lowered his head slightly and said: "I have been re-study for four whole years. How many four years can a person have? During these four years, I have a way to beat this game in my mind every day, but when I actually use it, I find that This is simply impossible. Do you understand how I feel? I think the person who set the question, Yun Huateng, who passed the test five years ago, should have perfected the game again."

The hooded man finished speaking and walked out without giving Dahai a chance to speak again.

Dahai repeated the last words of the hooded man in front of everyone: "Yun Huateng passed the previous test five years ago, so the person who set the question must have perfected this game again."

The crowd began to whisper.

"Has the difficulty changed?"

"Then what else are you playing with?"

"No wonder no one has passed the test for so long."

"If we improve this time, won't there be fewer and fewer loopholes?"

. . .

While everyone was whispering, No. [-] was taken away.

In less than 10 minutes, No. [-] was taken out.

Then there is No. [-], but No. [-] is a girl.

When he stood up, he bowed and said, "I give up."

Then No. 11, also a girl, stood up and gave up.

NO.12 was brought in.

At this time, several people called home and explained the situation here.

Then several people got up and actually walked out, wanting to give up the game.

Dahai stopped one of them and said, "Why give up?"

"Didn't you see that everyone else was eliminated in less than 10 minutes, and the one wearing the hat lasted for 15 minutes. This is what happened to those who came prepared, so why should we take the test if we don't know anything? It's hard to understand. It's the same as the one with the hat said, spend four years knowing the questions first. Then spend four years retaking the exam? We have money, but we don't have the time." After the man finished speaking, he ignored the sea and walked out.

Suddenly there were only seven people left on the scene.

The speed of the exam did not change at all, it was conducted one at a time every 10 minutes.

Almost everyone who came out shook their heads, but no one dared to say anything.

Until the man in the suit said: "No. 26."

Dahai glanced at me, patted my shoulder and said, "I'm going to bring you good news."

I looked at the hands of the clock, and every second was torture.

When the hour hand passed eight minutes, the door was opened.

Dahai smiled bitterly and said, "It's really difficult."

"Failed?" I said.

Dahai came over and hugged me. He put his cell phone into my pocket and said, "Six six, video."

The man in the suit glanced at me and said, "You must be the last number 27."

I nodded my head and said, "Can I go to the toilet? I'm so nervous and I can't control it."

The man in the suit looked up at the clock and said, "It's not even noon yet. I've left a lot of time to give you some time. I'll wait for you for 10 minutes. If you don't come out, you'll be considered a forfeit."

I nodded my head and was about to run outside.

The man in the suit yelled and said: "There is a toilet in here, are you in a hurry if you want to run out and cheat now?"

I was taken to a small cubicle inside the room by a man in a suit, which was a crowded small bathroom.

I closed the door and sat on the toilet, took out Dahai's mobile phone and entered the password six six.

After rummaging around, I saw an 8-minute black scene in the video.

The picture is black and only the recording is there. It should have been taken while hiding in the pants.

But the sound was very clear, and I looked at the girl’s drawing on the note and thought about the scene.

Listen to the recorded sound of the sea.

There was the sound of playing cards being scattered, followed by the man's words.

"King's Game, you are not allowed to speak or write about this game to outsiders. Violation of this will be punished by law, do you understand?"

"Okay." Dahai said.

"What do you think it takes to be a king? Take five things and put them on the table."

Dahai took five cards and said: "There are many duplicates in the deck. Can I get two of the same cards?"

The other party did not answer.

Dahai then said: "Then I will take it again. Two pieces from the treasury, the army, the people, and the dragon."

I thought about how the sea didn't want to win at all, but seemed to be experimenting with the flow of the game for me.

I heard the sound of the sea slapping five cards onto the table, and the sound of other cards being put away.

Then the opponent said: "Five cards have five questions. Losing three of the five questions means failure."

"Okay." Dahai said.

"If my question uses any of the five cards on your table to attack another of your cards, you can refute my question. You have 60 seconds to answer your question. If you do not answer within 60 seconds, it will be deemed as Give up answering.”

"Okay, but wouldn't it be over if an assassin kills my king?" Dahai said again.

"Because you are playing the role of the king. Questions cannot attack the king himself."

"Understood, I have no objection." Dahai said.

"Your treasury has been infiltrated by a gang of thieves who will take all your property."

An hourglass was turned upside down, and the sofa inside made a rustling sound.

It seemed extremely noisy in such a quiet venue.

. . .

I immediately took out a sticky note and wrote everything I learned on it.

The two sides are divided into attackers and defenders to play the game.

A bunch of resource cards.

On the first day, the question maker asked the players: What do you think it takes to be a king.

Players need to select five cards from the deck, and the cards can be repeated.

The player then places the cards on the table.

The question maker starts by asking questions to the players.

For example: Your treasury was stolen by thieves.

In terms of setting, the question maker cannot use the resources owned by the players to deprive the players of their resources.Players who are caught can rebut.

At this point I write again that if you are not discovered, you need to continue to answer this question.

I circled this sentence and thought it was the key point.

The question cannot attack the king himself.

If the player cannot answer the question, the resource in front of the player is crossed out.

At this time I heard the sea say: "My dragon guards my two huge treasury."

"Second question, you don't have a dragon tamer. You also can't access your treasury."

When I heard the answerer's words, my whole body felt horrified.

Killed two treasuries in one sentence, and directly drove Dahai to death.

That's the scary thing about this game.If you use the army to go to the treasury, the enemy's attack will also be defeated.

If the people are mobilized to go to the national treasury, then the people’s problems will be crossed out even if they say anything.

The hourglass dripped drop by drop, followed by silence after the dripping.

Dahai didn't speak. I heard the sound of the knife cutting the cards.

"Your treasury is gone, and this year's harvest is very poor. Unfortunately, a fire has burned out the granaries, and your people and troops will starve to death."

The sea was silent for another 60 seconds, except for the people and the army.

If more than half of the resources are removed, the player will be deemed to have failed.

"Game over. You're out on the 26th."

. . .

I was overwhelmed by the rules of the game listed on the list.

At this time, more than eight minutes and almost nine minutes have passed.

The man in a suit knocked on the door and said, "Ten minutes are up."

I put Dahai’s cell phone away, put the note in my pocket and walked out.

. . .

The room was very dark, and there were actually five people sitting at the table opposite.

No wonder the ideas are so clear and get to the point.

There were knife scratches all over the table, which made my skin crawl.

A new deck of cards was opened and spread out in front of me.

"King's Game, you are not allowed to speak or write about this game to outsiders. Violation of this will be punished by law, do you understand?"

I nodded my head.

"What do you think it takes to be a king? Take five things and put them on the table."

I started picking slowly.

Treasury.

army.

people.

blacksmith.

Doctors.

I put the five cards in front of me.

The other cards are put away again.

"If my question uses any of the five cards on your table to attack another of your cards, you can refute my question. You have 60 seconds to answer your question. If you do not answer within 60 seconds, it will be deemed as Give up answering.”

I nodded my head.

"The first question is, a giant dragon from afar flew into your treasury. It wants to occupy your treasury and use it as its lair."

I scratched my head, so hard at first.

I watched the time pass by, and I planned to give up the first question and think about the loopholes in the game itself.

When the time came to the last second, I smiled and said, "I give up answering."

The person who answered the question directly scratched the treasury on the table with a dagger and said: "Second question, a plague has come to your country. The people and the army are all infected. This plague will soon take away their lives."

I looked at the two daggers placed in front of the cards of the army and the people, and it seemed that I was going to end up in the second round.

I pointed to the doctor and said, "My doctor will heal my people and my army."

"The third problem is that your doctor needs to buy expensive herbal medicine from the neighboring country. And you can't use your treasury, and your doctor is also sick."

Three daggers were pointed at the doctors, the people and the army, and the person who asked the question sneered.

I took out the note in my hand and looked at it.

As time passed, I remembered a lot.

Thoughts began to wander in my mind.

The hourglass finished dripping bit by bit.

I actually thought of King Jock back then.

If he encountered this problem, he could easily solve it.

A picture appeared in my mind.

A smiling man holding a blue coin appeared in front of me.

"On the 27th, the game is over."

They smiled and drew their daggers, and all three cards were cut open.

I subconsciously shouted: "Wait."

They actually stopped what they were doing.

"Wait for what?"

"I mean, I dissolved all the iron shields and weapons of the army and cast them into new coins to buy herbs from the territory." I said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, the three daggers were taken back.

"Question [-]: Your neighboring countries find that your army has no weapons. They plan to attack your country and rob and kill your people, troops, doctors and blacksmiths."

Four of the five question makers pointed at my remaining four cards with daggers in their hands.

I smiled bitterly and said: "All my people welcome them into my country, we open the door. The treasury is half-open, allowing them to enter and plunder my resources at will."

As soon as I finished saying this, the five question makers in front of me were all stunned.

They all knew that the dragon was still in the treasury and knew that this was a trap.

"Question 27. There are dragon trainers in the empire's army. They easily controlled the dragon and suppressed your country. You lost, No. [-]."

The remaining four answerers inserted their daggers directly into the middle of the four cards.

In front of me was a treasury with two halves, and four resources with daggers on the table.

I looked at the words blurted out by the last question maker and stood up with a sneer, raising my hands to the sky in a victory gesture.

"What are you doing?" the person who asked the question said in surprise.

"I won, I'm celebrating." I said.

"Why did you win?"

"I didn't say that I cured my people with herbs. My people were dying before I opened the city gates to welcome them in. My goal is not to have dragons in the treasury to defend the enemy's army, but to set it up for you. The plague. My people only ate the healing herbs after being captured, and the enemy attacked our country and was wiped out by the plague because there was no antidote to the plague. Those wiped out included the dragon who was lectured by the enemy." I finished this sentence. Then, he picked up the two halves of the treasury and put them back together on the table.

. . .

All five respondents stood up, and the door behind them opened.

"Come in, you win."

I walked slowly into the innermost room.

There was actually a statue of King Jock inside, and an old man sat under the statue.

I walked forward slowly and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man smiled and said: "My elder was once the king's jester and the founder of this bank."

"Then what does this have to do with me?" I said.

"If you pass the test, you will get 50% of Qingbi Bank's shares to spend as you wish." The old man said.

"What's going on?" I said.

"The reason why our Qingbi Bank has not collapsed until now is because of those of you who pass the Chinese Studies Examination. Those who pass the exam will receive 50% of the shares of Qingbi Bank and can spend it as they please. Of course, the condition is to customize a new game. And after someone cracks your game, you will have nothing," the old man said.

"You mean, this game of kings was invented by Yun Huateng? And I want to create a new game as part of the Chinese Studies exam and make sure that no one can pass it. As long as no one can pass it, I will enjoy this 50% unconditionally. % equity." I said.

"A smart person is a smart person, that's right." The old man said with a smile.

"The reason why Qingbi Bank has not collapsed until now is because of the protection of passers-by like us?" I said.

"That's right, and your first passer is King Jock." The old man said.

"I see, but aren't you afraid that I will squander all the money from 50% of the bank's shares?" I said.

"You are a smart person. Only if you earn more can you spend more. All you have to care about is not being passed by others, otherwise you will have nothing." The old man said with a smile.

"In other words, your bank just lends usury loans to passers-by?" I said.

"No, we are the last heirs of the country's civilization. Otherwise, how can the Chinese culture you have learned be continued so perfectly without a king, an army or even a country's civilization?" The old man smiled happily.

"So King Jock, he also played the game and became a passer?" I said.

"No, he is the one who made the first game. You have one month to make your game and make it impeccable." The old man said with a smile.

I looked at the coin in King Jock's hand on the statue and said calmly: "The next game is to guess the coin."
