Chapter 58 – Luck-based game

"I don't understand psychology," Qi Xia shook his head and replied softly, "I'm just used to being a bad person."

Seeing that Qi Xia agreed to the request, Old Lv's attitude towards him also improved a bit.

"Hey, kid, let's make it clear first, all the 'Dao' we win will belong to me."

"I want to keep one," Qi Xia said.

"Impossible." Old Lv shook his head without hesitation, "Are you negotiating with me? You took away nineteen 'Dao' from me before, and now you want more? If that's your attitude, I'm leaving now."

Qi Xia nodded and said, "Fine, I don't want the 'Dao', but you have to help me with the 'Ticket'."

After hearing this, Old Lv's eyes rolled and he leaned forward, saying, "Kid, let me warn you, those two people are not in this area. If you dare to play tricks on me, I won't tell you where they are."

"Don't worry, playing tricks on you would just be a waste of my time."

With this, Old Lv gained confidence and pulled Qi Xia into the room.

"Wait," Qi Xia said, "For safety's sake, you should tell me about this game."

"Oh!" Old Lv slapped his forehead, "Damn, I almost forgot. Kid, have you ever played a 'Pig Game' before?"

"What do you think?" Qi Xia frowned and asked.

"Hey, in the Pig Game, as the name suggests, you just have to pretend to be a pig."

"Pretend to be a pig?" Qi Xia didn't quite understand, "Why do I have to pretend to be a pig?"

"Because you don't have to use your brain." Old Lv laughed and said, "Pig games are all 'luck-based' games, just like rock-paper-scissors or guessing the size."

"What?" Qi Xia paused, "You mean... it's a luck-based game where the outcome is determined by chance?"

"Yes!" Old Lv nodded, then looked at Qi Xia again, "Are you having second thoughts?"

"I..." Although Qi Xia couldn't be considered "having second thoughts," he really couldn't understand the connection between "pig" and "luck."

"Why are you afraid of a pig game?" Old Lv said helplessly, "I thought you were smart before, but now you're afraid when it comes to relying on luck?"

Rely on luck?

Qi Xia knew that "pig" was not a low-intelligence animal.

Among all species in the world, pigs' intelligence can rank in the top ten, and their intelligence level is equivalent to that of a five-year-old child.

Moreover, the "rock-paper-scissors" or "guess the size" that Old Lv mentioned were not purely luck-based games.

With the right tactics, you could definitely lose less and win more.

"I still want to ask, what exactly is this game about?" Qi Xia looked at the building in front of him. It was clearly a Go club. Why would people play luck-based games in a Go club?

"In simple terms, there are two piles of chess pieces, one black and one white. You close your eyes and randomly pick one. If you pick a black piece, you win."

"That's it?"

"Yes!" Old Lv said, "I already told you! It's a luck-based game!"

After saying that, he took out a white chess piece from his pocket and slammed it on the ground.

"Damn it, I picked a white piece twice in a row. My luck is terrible!"

Qi Xia couldn't believe his ears. If the situation was really like this, he couldn't guarantee that he could beat the pig-headed person.

He picked up the white piece from the ground and looked at it. It was indeed a very ordinary chess piece with no mechanisms.

"Kid, can you do it or not?" Old Lv became a little anxious, "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of those two people?"

Qi Xia knew he had no other choice. He was currently "penniless" and could only rely on Officer Li for hope.

And to ask Officer Li's whereabouts, he had to pry open Old Lv's mouth.

Even if he lost this luck-based game, he wouldn't lose anything, and he could take this opportunity to understand the "pig."

"No, I'm just considering my strategy," Qi Xia said, "Let's go in."

After hearing this, Old Lv excitedly nodded and pulled Qi Xia into the room.

Lin Qin felt that the situation was a bit absurd, but she didn't say anything and silently followed them.

As soon as they entered the room, the pig-headed person danced with joy, "Hehe! Here they come! Someone to play with me again!"

His voice was very deep, but his tone of speech was very childish.

Qi Xia couldn't help but cover his nose and mouth. The smell of the pig-headed mask was really unbearable.

"Damn pig head!" Old Lv shouted, "Today, I won't leave you with any pants!"

"Hahaha! Great! Great!" The pig-headed person clapped his hands, "Who wants to play with me?"

Qi Xia slowly sat down opposite the pig-headed person and said, "I'll play. How do we count the 'Ticket'?"

"Just give the 'Ticket' casually, up to five 'Dao', and if you win, it doubles!" the pig-headed person said, "Bring it on!"

"Give it casually..." Qi Xia shook his head, "Is it called 'Pig of Human'?"

"Yes! I am Pig of Human! I am Pig of Human!" After saying that, he pointed at Qi Xia, "You are a stupid pig! You are a stupid pig!"

No one paid attention to him. After all, no one wanted to communicate with a madman.

Old Lv gritted his teeth and took out five 'Dao' from his pocket, reluctantly handing them to Pig of Human.

Qi Xia noticed that Old Lv's eyes really resembled those of a gambler.

This was clearly a luck-based game, yet he was willing to keep investing.

"Old Lv, five?" Qi Xia looked at him with some doubt, "Isn't the bet too big?"

"Kid!" Old Lv looked at Qi Xia seriously, "I just played two rounds earlier. In the first round, I bet one 'Dao', and in the second round, I bet two 'Dao'. I lost them all to this damn pig. If you win this round, not only can I break even, but I'll also have extra."

After a brief thought, Qi Xia looked at Pig of Human again and said, "What are the rules of the game?"

"It's very simple..." Pig of Human pushed the black and white chess pieces in front of him and said, "There are fifty black and white chess pieces each. I want you to put all of them into these two bowls."

He pushed two identical large porcelain bowls forward.

"As for how to distribute the two-colored chess pieces... it's up to you." Pig of Human chuckled innocently, "Once you've finished distributing, you'll have to blindfold yourself. I'll shuffle the positions of the two bowls and mix the chess pieces inside. Next, you'll randomly select a bowl and pick a chess piece from it. If you can pick the 'black piece', you win. Of course, if anyone attempts to interfere with the game or give you any hints, I will sanction everyone present."

Qi Xia listened with a poker face, he glanced at the bowls and chess pieces on the table and let out a cold snort.

"Hehe, what are you laughing at?" Pig of Human asked with a smile, "If you're lucky enough, you might just win."

Qi Xia found it somewhat amusing.

Distributing the chess pieces by himself, selecting the chess pieces by himself?

A game of luck?

A pig-like game?

This seemingly fifty-fifty game was clearly a trap, luring countless participants into it.

"Pig of Human, I underestimated you." Qi Xia said, "You're much smarter than I thought."
