Chapter 651, Breaking Others’ Umbrellas
"Sister, that guy's expression before he left was a little scary." Zhong Yangyang went over Kong Zhishan's words carefully in her mind and couldn't help but shudder. "He didn't seem ready to give up."
"The host last night chose him for a reason." Kong Xiyan lowered her voice and said, "When she told us the rules of the game, everyone's first reaction was fairness. He was the only one who brought that up, which proves that he really values rules.
When such people are provoked, a clear catfish effect will occur.”
"By placing a catfish among a school of sardines, their chasing behavior can activate the sardines' survival instincts, allowing them to survive the transport." Kong Zhishan looked at Zhong Yangyang and said, "Expanding this to this environment, the original No. 87 becomes the catfish that causes conflict and competition among all the players."
"I still understand the catfish effect, okay?" Zhong Yangyang pursed her lips. "What is this catfish going to do?"
"When it rains and you don't have an umbrella, you either grab someone else's or break it." Kong Xiyan smiled and said, "No matter which one, it will be lively."
"None of this really matters to us, right? Anyway, right? Our table has the best chance of winning right now, right?" Xu Junzhi pointed at the edge of the table and said, "We can ask 18 questions, so these 18 clues are shared."
"How about adding me?" Meng Xichao finally couldn't bear it any longer and took the initiative to say, "Wouldn't 21 clues give you a better chance of winning?"
"Can't you advance directly? No. 77?" Luo Zhenxuan looked up at Meng Xichao and curled the corners of his lips.
Someone nearby immediately looked over, and when they saw Meng Xichao's face, they showed an expression of "So that's it", and then turned their gaze away in disappointment.
After all, they are not going to stay on the boat forever, they still have to survive after getting off the boat.
The Meng family is not someone they can afford to offend.
Only a few people looked at Meng Xichao with meaningful eyes.
"Mr. Luo, you're increasing Xiyan's workload. This isn't good for any of us." Meng Xichao knew what Luo Zhenxuan meant. "Can you be any more boring?"
"Want to know?" Luo Zhenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "How about Young Master Meng give it a try?"
"..." Meng Xichao narrowed her eyes slightly. What did he say? This Luo Zhenxuan is the most annoying.
Ever since he first saw Luo Zhenxuan's photo as a child, he knew that this kid was very annoying.
Kong Xiyan patted the back of Luo Zhenxuan's hand, signaling him to be serious, and then looked at Meng Xichao: "Can you ask a question?"
"I received the envelope, and the rules don't say I can't ask questions." Meng Xichao shrugged.
"Alright then, there's no reason for us to refuse something that increases our chances of winning, right?" Kong Xiyan smiled and looked at the two newbies at the table: "What about you guys?"
The two of them looked at each other, and finally shook their heads at Kong Xiyan.
Since Kong Xiyan looks down on them so much, they will let this guy know.
Even with just the two of them, they could easily solve the puzzle; they weren't rookies.
They are elites who have been selected through layers of selection.
"OK~" Kong Xiyan shrugged and looked away: "Then our chances of winning are much higher, about 70%."
"Boss Kong, you're being too modest!" Xu Junzhi said arrogantly, "Even if the person who stole the No. 87 commemorative card gets the evidence first, we still have the advantage in numbers!"
Kong Xiyan did not directly answer Xu Junzhi's words, but snapped her fingers: "Brother, you tell him."
Zhong Yongan then leaned forward slightly, looked at Xu Junzhi, and said, "Who told you that it was a certain person who stole the No. 87 commemorative card? Couldn't it be a certain group of people?"
"?" Xu Junzhi suddenly opened his eyes wide. No, it can be like this.
"You'll know if you look around." Kong Zhishan turned to look at Xu Junzhi.
Xu Junzhi then turned around and saw that in addition to them, everyone else had also automatically divided into groups of several people. They were all whispering and looking at each other.
"Teamwork is indeed more advantageous in times like these." Zhong Yangyang nodded in agreement. "Then our team will be... seven people?"
Hearing that Zhong Yangyang included herself, Meng Xi smiled at her friendlyly.
She is worthy of being Xiyan's acknowledged sister. She has a good eye for value and is much better than Luo Zhenxuan.
"Come on, decide what to ask!" Xu Junzhi rubbed his hands excitedly and picked up the paper to read it again. "How about I ask if the baby is a boy or a girl? After all, some places have the custom of favoring boys over girls. If it's a girl, she might be abandoned."
"It's a baby girl." Kong Xiyan answered first.
"Huh? Boss Kong, how did you know?" Xu Junzhi looked at Kong Xiyan with a puzzled look.
Kong Xiyan raised her chin and said, "The people over there asked, and I read their lips."
"Six hundred and sixty-six, Boss Kong, you're just too cool!" Xu Junzhi clapped his hands, looking impressed. He then said, "How about you take the trouble to look through all the questions and sort them out. That way, we can avoid unnecessary questions and ask more valuable ones?"
"No need, I have already thought of three questions." Kong Xiyan stood up.
"Let me go ask." Luo Zhenxuan stopped Kong Xiyan: "What we want to ask should be the same."
Kong Xiyan is number 77. Before the other party fully discloses all the rules of the game, it is very likely that Kong Xiyan's identity will be exposed. In this case, it would be safer for him to ask.
"Go ahead." Kong Xiyan nodded.
Watching Luo Zhenxuan leave, Meng Xichao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Why does it seem like Luo Zhenxuan and Kong Xiyan have a mutual understanding?
Why is he so sure?
Luo Zhenxuan found the staff, asked three questions, and came back soon. He looked at Kong Xiyan and nodded.
"Sure enough." Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes.
"What? What's so obvious?" Xu Junzhi's eyes widened. "Are you two creatures from another dimension? A communication of consciousness between four-dimensional beings? How... is this so obvious? Are you two communicating through cognition?"
"Do you communicate by touching the edges, Mr. Triangle?" Kong Xiyan gave him a funny look.
"Wow, why did I suddenly become a two-dimensional triangle? Even in two-dimensional space, I'm still a noble circle!" Xu Junzhi protested, "No! I'm a three-dimensional creature in four-dimensional space. Okay, you two, speak human language! No communicating with your consciousness!"
"Let's go back first." Kong Xiyan said, "Where are we going?"
"My room." Xu Junzhi snapped his fingers and led everyone to his room: "Sit wherever you want, treat it like your own home~"
After everyone entered, Kong Xiyan leaned against the door and looked at the two rookies: "Do you want to come in and listen?"
The two rookies showed an embarrassed expression, then snorted and stood on both sides of the door, acting as gatekeepers.
They don't bother to listen, they can pass it by their own ability!
Kong Xiyan closed the door, smiled, and sat on the sofa beside the bed: "The first question that Luo Laosan asked should be whether this matter is related to Master?"
"Such a straightforward answer?" Everyone was surprised. Meng Xichao also looked at Luo Zhenxuan and raised his eyebrows.
"The answer is [yes]." Luo Zhenxuan didn't beat around the bush.
