Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 69. (2/2)
“Which one plan to choose?”
“I like No. 2, how do I look at it, of course, choose it.” In the next second, Qi Yuan’s dialect turned. “But since you want to choose, then, I will change to No. 3.”
Xu Jia’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Someone said that they liked No. 2. Was he talking about option No. 2 or player No. 2?
“Yeah.” She took a deep breath and quickly sorted out, “I’m No. 2, you’re No. 3, and it’s decided happily.”
After that, she quickly hung up the phone.
Xu Jia felt her pulse and felt helpless. How could her heart beat faster now? Hundreds of thousands of cash prizes were waiting to take her home!
After taking a few deep breaths, she finally calmed down and chose to communicate with player No. 3 (Si Hai). Unfortunately, the other party was on the phone. As a last resort, she had to change to No. 4 (Le Lin), but unfortunately, the other party was also on the phone. Fortunately, when it was No. 5 (Xiao Yin) ‘s turn, she contacted someone.
“What are you going to choose?” Xiao Yin got straight to the point.
“Of course it’s number 1.” Xu Jia said casually, “What if I pick number 4 and bump into someone else? If two people split it, it’s 20,000, and if three people split it, it’s 13,333. It’s better to pick number 1!”
The amount is 100,000, and if four people split it, each person will get 25,000. However, the probability of four of the six people picking number 1 is extremely low. What if everyone wants to avoid it, and no one picks number 1 in the end? Then, the only player who musters the courage to pick number 1 will win the jackpot.
Xu Jia said this deliberately to lure everyone else to pick number 1.
“Yeah, I think so too, it’s best to pick number 1.” Xiao Yin said seriously.
Xu Jia pretended to be furious, “I want to pick it, don’t compete with me.”
Xiao Yin said indifferently, “Then split it equally. If six people all pick number 1, it’s actually not bad, everyone is on the same starting line.”
Xu Jia pretended to be unbelievable, “Are you serious? Must you pick number 1?”
“Of course.” Xiao Yin answered without hesitation.
“Hello–“
Xu Jia was about to complain, but Xiao Yin said, “Let’s do this first, I’ll talk to someone else.”
After the call ended, Xu Jia’s voice returned to normal. She muttered excitedly, “It’s good to firmly choose No. 1. You must do as you are told and never regret it.”
Then, she continued to make the next call.

Xiao Yin called Le Lin, and the call was quickly connected.
“What to choose?” Xiao Yin asked first.
Le Lin said bluntly, “From the moment I heard the rules of the game, I decided to choose No. 1.”
“You can choose other options, I will definitely choose No. 1.” Xiao Yin advised.
“Why don’t you choose other options?” Le Lin asked back.
“Each option has the possibility of collision. But once option No. 3 collides (5/2=25,000), it will get the same amount of money as the four people in No. 1 collide (10/4=25,000). But from a probability perspective, the probability of four players gathering at No. 1 is too low.” Xiao Yin argued.
Le Lin nodded, “I think so too, so I resolutely choose No. 1.”
Xiao Yin, “…”
After silence, she found her voice again, “Aren’t you afraid that many people will choose No. 1?”
“Then we will all be unlucky together.” Le Lin didn’t care, “At most six contestants will choose No. 1, and everyone will start from the same starting line.”
Xiao Yin understood that a few people would choose No. 1, and the bold players would benefit, or many would choose No. 1, and everyone would die together. No matter which possibility it is, the ending is pretty good.
Thinking of this, she said decisively, “Okay, let’s die together. If you dare to choose, it’s 1/n.”
“1/n is 1/n. No matter what you say, I will choose No. 1.” Le Lin said solemnly. “If you want to avoid it, then choose something else.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yin looked frustrated, “I thought that if I told the truth and took a tough attitude, I could force other players to give up No. 1. Why did Le Lin think the same as me? Should I change the option? Or is Le Lin already shaken in his heart, but just pretending to be very determined?”
Xiao Yin fell into deep distress.
However, as time passed, she quickly cheered up and continued to make the call.
This time, she called player No. 6 (Lin Xi).
“What to choose?” Xiao Yin asked.
“No. 2 or No. 3.” Lin Xi was very cautious.
Xiao Yin was silent for a while and suddenly said, “You said that, but you actually want to choose No. 1 in your heart, do you?”
“Puff.” Lin Xi couldn’t help laughing.
“I guessed it, right?” Xiao Yin gave up. She couldn’t help but persuade, “Don’t choose No. 1, choose others. As far as I know, at least three players have identified No. 1 and are going to fight to the death. Instead of everyone fighting for it, it’s better to choose No. 2, 3, and 4 among four people to split 100,000, right?”
Lin Xi wondered, “How do you know that there will be three players who will choose No. 1?”
“No. 2 (Xu Jia), No. 4 (Le Lin), and I all have the same idea.” Xiao Yin was very dissatisfied, “Anyway, no matter what others do, I will definitely choose No. 1. So if you want to avoid 1/n, don’t join in the fun.”
Lin Xi said, “I will definitely choose.”
Xiao Yin, “…”
A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in her heart.
Lin Xi continued, “Let’s try to divide it. Anyway, if everyone chooses the same option, no one will be ahead or have an advantage.”
Xiao Yin was upset. Why did they say that? Everyone seemed to have similar ideas.
“That’s it, I’ll wait and see 1/6.” Lin Xi hung up the phone calmly.
1/6… You’re so cruel! Xiao Yin sighed at the sky and doubted her life.
Originally, she wanted to tell everyone she had chosen No. 1. If she didn’t want many people to share it equally, the others should consciously avoid it. But the opponent didn’t play by the rules at all. They insisted on choosing No. 1 and said that it was good for everyone to be unlucky together.
She subconsciously thought that someone was bluffing and actually had other plans. But they hid it very well and spoke more firmly than each other, and it was impossible to tell who was lying.
Xiao Yin covered her head and felt a headache.
