"I want to forfeit my points this round in exchange for an extra die!"
Jiang Ran finally caught up with the Siren in terms of the number of dice, but the Siren wouldn't panic. The next round would be the seventh round, and the power ratio between the two remained at 21:32. It could be said that Jiang Ran had almost no chance of turning the tide.
In the seventh round, Jiang Ran threw a five and a three, while Siren threw a four and a three!
The power ratio between the two sides reached 29:39.
"Three rounds to go." The siren tilted her head and smiled. "Should I celebrate our victory ahead of time?"
"If you want to do it, I won't object."
Jiang Ran's expression remained unchanged; he simply picked up two dice and began the next round of throwing.
In the eighth round, Jiang Ran threw two and three, while Siren threw one and three!
"I will use this skill card to increase my points by two this turn!"
The Siren's third skill card has the same effect as the second one, and his points this turn plus two bring him to six!
He knew there were only two point reversal cards in total. He and Jiang Ran had each used one, which meant that even if he increased his points in a big way, Jiang Ran would have absolutely no chance of reversing!
Jiang Ran picked up his third skill card.
[After use, reduces the opponent's points by two for this turn.]
If he uses this skill card now, the points the Siren gains this turn will be canceled out, and she will not be able to get a third die.
However, Jiang Ran did not do that.
You can only get a new die when the sum of the points in one round is six. In other words, a new die requires a round of points to exchange. The earlier you get the die, the greater its value. The later you get the die, the less valuable it is.
For example, if you roll a six in the tenth round, then the dice have no meaning for you.
The power ratio between the two sides has reached 34:39!
The Siren gave up six points this round, which allowed Jiang Ran to catch up to five points!
"Prepare to fail, human!"
The siren threw out the three dice in her hand!
Four, six, one!
Jiang Ran followed suit and threw out his dice!
Three and five!
"I will use this skill card to reduce your points by two this turn!"
The power ratio between the two sides has reached 42:48!
In exchange for a six-point roll, the siren must ensure that the third die brings him a gain of six points or more within two rounds, otherwise the deal will be a loss. Now it seems that he has indeed made a losing trade.
The current situation is still not optimistic for Jiang Ran, no, it might be very pessimistic!
If Jiang Ran wants to defeat the Siren, he must roll two dice in this final round that are higher than the Siren's three dice showing eight. Assuming Jiang Ran rolls two sixes, he will only have twelve points. Unless the Siren's luck is extremely bad, Jiang Ran has no chance of winning.
Jiang Ran first threw the first die, which spun around on the round table before finally landing on a six!
Phew—there's only one die left. Will it still be a six?
After a brief hesitation, Jiang Ran threw out the die that would decide his fate!
The dice bounced several times on the table, simultaneously captivating the attention of both of them!
Finally, it stopped at five o'clock!
After ten rounds, Jiang Ran's final strength value was 53!
The Siren currently has 48 points, just 5 points away from 53!
He can win the game as long as the sum of the three dice he rolls in this round is greater than 5!
Will a miracle happen?
"Human, let me personally pronounce your defeat!"
The siren snorted and threw all three dice at once!
The first die landed on the table, while the other two dice continued to roll!
The die that stopped rolling was clearly showing a "one"!
The siren narrowed her eyes. Could it be that his luck was really that bad?
The second die stopped rolling, and the top number was three!
There's a chance! As long as the siren rolls a low enough number on her last die, Jiang Ran can turn the tide!
The last die finally came to a stop.
It's number six!
"Hahaha! It seems luck isn't on your side!" The siren laughed loudly, finally able to relax.
The game is over, and the Siren's power level has finally stabilized at 58!
From a 14-point difference in strength between the two at the beginning to only a 5-point difference now, even the Siren has to admit that Jiang Ran was just a little short of catching up with him. Unfortunately, he was still just a little short in the end!
"Don't rush, the game isn't over yet."
Jiang Ran placed his hands on the round table and made an arm-wrestling motion.
"Let's at least finish the last step."
"Although it's unnecessary, I'll let you give up completely."
The siren knew very well that as long as the strength values of both sides did not exceed 60, a strength value difference of 5 points was enough for him to hold victory firmly in his hands!
"bring it on!"
The two clasped hands, and the siren suddenly exerted her strength, trying to overwhelm Jiang Ran in the first place. However, Jiang Ran not only defended against this attack, but also had the momentum to counterattack!
"Wait! This is impossible! Your strength is five points lower than mine! How could I possibly..."
Jiang Ran cheated in the game? What the hell?! How could a human cheat in a game played by a sirens?!
"Siren, you have an absolute advantage in this game, so I also have to rely on enough luck to get close to you. Fortunately, my luck seems to be pretty good."
Jiang Ran smiled and said, "But luck is part of strength, but it's only part of it."
Kindred's Mark - Wolf Form!
Significantly improve physical fitness!
"The number isn't particularly high, but it's enough to reverse the 5-point difference in strength!"
"Siren, you've lost!"
Jiang Ran pressed down with all his might, and the siren's face turned extremely ugly—well, it seems there's nothing to see on that octopus face.
Bang!
The siren's hand was pressed heavily onto the table!
At this moment, the game truly ended, concluding with Jiang Ran's victory!
The siren looked bewildered. Although he had won against Sylvie and Cyrus, he had suffered a lot against Cyrus. This made him realize that the next challenger would definitely be stronger, and that playing intellectual games again might result in a complete defeat!
So he chose the things that humans lack most, namely, power, and the things they cannot control, namely, luck, and set up a plan that was almost a sure thing to win. But he never expected that the very thing he had overlooked most, namely, power, would become the key to defeating him in the end!
"A bet's a bet." The siren removed the round table, sat on the ground, and her body dissolved into specks of deep blue light. "Human, you are worthy of the ocean's treasures!"
