Chapter 24 Labyrinth 6 "Congratulations on winning the prize! You are so lucky! ...
A player died at the first step in the maze. This time, no one dared to act rashly. All the players looked at each other, and no one was willing to even touch the red slot machine, as if it was really a tiger and they would be eaten if they touched it.
"Since no one is willing to draw the door, let's be fair and draw lots!" Sister Lili stepped forward and suggested, then took out a pack of matches from her pocket.
"That's easy to say, but who knows if there's any trick in your matches?"
"If you keep scolding me, you'll die," Sister Lili said as she counted out fourteen matches, then broke them into different lengths little by little and put them back into the matchbox. "Press the shortest one first and the longest one last. Come on, what do you think I can fake? Do you think the first one is luckier or the last one is luckier?"
The doubter opened his mouth but could not say anything. Yes, the possibility is nothing more than death and life. No matter which step, you are facing the same slot machine and the same six doors, and the survival rate is one in six.
There was no better way in the situation, so everyone quickly finished drawing the matches and started comparing their lengths. Then they heard a tall, middle-aged man with glasses crying.
An Rao took out a sheet of cartoon stickers from his trouser pocket, tore off two cute Pikachu stickers, and stuck them directly on the top of the slot machine.
"What are you doing?!" a small man roared menacingly.
"Make a mark." An Rao said frankly.
"Mark it! Do you know that destroying the maze will be punished?" The man was about to hit An Rao. "If you want to die, just press the slot machine and choose a door to die. Don't fucking implicate all of us!"
"Did I destroy the maze?" An Rao flicked Pikachu's lightning tail, which was not firmly attached. "Can a sticker that can be peeled off at any time be considered as destruction?"
"You!" The man clenched his fist and punched An Rao Junxiu in the face. "I hate people like you who talk nonsense the most!"
"Stop," Sister Lili grabbed the man's wrist, "He has a point." Then she turned to look at An Rao and said, "I remember you. You were the one arguing with the clown at the door. At that time, you used stickers to test the clown to confirm whether stickers could be used as marks in the maze, right?"
"Yes," An Rao nodded, "The most important thing when walking in a maze is to make marks. Besides, it is very likely that we have been determined by the amusement park that this is the second time we have stayed in the same room. The rooms all look similar. In order to avoid mistakenly entering for the third time, it is safer to use stickers to count the number of times we have stayed."
Article 4 of the maze game rules stipulates that players can only stay in the same room twice. Everyone has been in this room the whole time, but the fat man has walked out of the room. So is this their first time or second time in the room?
If playing the slot machine and opening the door is equivalent to rolling the dice in a board game, then this is actually their second stay in this room, so no matter what the result of playing the slot machine is next, they must leave.
Moreover, if the above assumption is true, it can also indirectly prove one thing. After the door is opened by lottery, there is no problem if you do not walk into the selected door. The worst result is the loss of an opportunity to stay in the safe room.
"God damn it, this is the second time. We have never left here!" The little man was still unconvinced and cursed, "Damn, that pretty boy is just a coward!"
"Hey, hey, hey, watch your mouth. If you can do it, then do it! If you like to stay here, then stay. You can stay here until the end of time and be paired with the slot machines!" Su Ming couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to help the boss vent his anger, but was held down by An Rao.
"Minors cannot fight!" An Rao said in a loud voice.
Su Ming: ...How come I ended up with a boss who has such a strong daddy vibe!
"Okay, stop arguing. You," Sister Lili pointed at the middle-aged man with glasses who was huddled in the corner and shaking like a hamster, and said, "Don't break the rules. Go press the slot machine."
“Woo…”
In the end, the middle-aged man with glasses was dragged to the slot machine by the two men, forcibly lifted up and forced to press the black button.
"Ding Dong, let's try our luck!" After the clear and cheerful mechanical child's voice ended, the three columns of patterns on the screen began a new round of dizzying scrolling.
Everyone held their breath, fearing that their airflow would affect their fortune. The patterns on the screen rolled slower and slower... The patterns in the first column finally stopped on the luck surrounded by Venus, and the patterns in the second column also unexpectedly stopped on the golden luck!
The last one!
The whole room was so quiet that only the cheerful music from the slot machine could be heard. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the pattern in the third column that was still slowly rotating.
"Click." A golden luck slowly descended and then stopped. An inconspicuous "1/9" appeared in the upper right corner of the screen. Then, the pattern of fireworks ribbons and golden horns exploded across the screen, and cheerful music expressing victory filled the entire room.
The innocent child's voice in the slot machine happily congratulated: "Congratulations on winning the prize! You are so lucky!"
"Ah!!!!" All the players screamed and hugged each other excitedly. They were so lucky! The feeling of being hit by the goddess of luck in the midst of despair was no less than winning the lottery jackpot!
God bless you!
"Tsk, I don't know what the lucky reward is. It's probably okay if it's a cheat code, but if it's money, then it's not necessary."
As expected of a little genius who won the IMO gold medal, he immediately discovered the bug in the slot machine. Moreover, this kid really regards money as dirt!
An Rao deftly dodged all the players who pounced on him randomly. In the almost boiling atmosphere of joy, he quietly hid in the corner, trying to stay as far away as possible from the people who were overwhelmed by the sudden luck. Su Ming was right, luck is luck. The reward for the lottery jackpot is money, but what is the reward for luck?
An Rao's fingers started tapping uncontrollably again.
Also, what does it mean that the room where the fat man died has slightly different lighting than this room?
And what does the "1/9" mean? There are nine chances of luck in total, and one has been used up now?
"Do you remember the color of the light strip in the second room?" An Rao asked Su Ming, who was also uninterested.
"Hmm..." Su Ming tilted his head and thought for a while, "I seem to have seen some colorful light?"
"What color?"
“I don’t remember…”
This is normal. Even An Rao himself is not quite sure what he saw. However, An Rao and Su Ming agreed that they saw other colors of light. If An Rao could be more confident, that colored light should be orange.
Let's just assume it's orange! Then, what is the connection between the orange, green and white lights and the green and white lights in this room? What do they mean?
"Wow! Oh my God!" The room was instantly in an uproar.
An Rao's train of thought was interrupted. He followed everyone's gaze and found that all the golden stars that represented luck had floated out from the slot machine screen and formed a huge golden arrow.
And in the next second, the atmosphere of joy and happiness in the room that was originally filled with winning the prize was instantly frozen. The players stared at the arrow in a daze, at a loss. At this moment, the golden light that was so joyous and rich seemed like a mockery that played everyone in the palm of their hands. Everyone seemed to be poured with a bucket of ice water on their heads, as if falling into an ice cave.
The golden arrow, representing supreme luck, was now pointing directly to the room where the fat man had died.
