In this awkward, curious, and somewhat unclear subtle atmosphere, the old-fashioned TV finally made a sound:

"The competition begins

Participants, Chen Xiao holds chips: 350 points

Participants, chips held by Yuto Tsujido: 410 points

”

As soon as the words were finished, the emoji on the screen disappeared, and then the scene of a city overlooking the sky. From the crowded buildings, it can be seen that this was a crowded and busy Western city in the early 20th century. In the early morning, the sun had just risen and fog covered every corner of the street.

Just like the beginning of each movie, after letting the audience know the era and approximate location of the story, the camera began to move, passing through several thin green belts and dense and towering buildings... Finally, it entered the window of an old apartment, and the picture was frozen in the next second when entering the window.

From this perspective, you can only see the small living room of this house. On the left side of the picture is a single sofa chair, with a TV that is quite as good as the times. A little further away, you can see a small dining table with some leftovers that you didn't have time to clean up last night. These small furniture already occupy most of the living room, and on the other side of the picture are two closed doors. If you guess correctly, one of them is the bedroom, and the other should be the toilet.

The camera was frozen for about a second, and then moved again. It passed through the lock hole of a door by the wall and came to an extremely messy bedroom. It was the bedroom of a middle-aged man who was lazy, didn't like to take a shower, and was single. Everyone should be able to think of what it would be like.

On the bed in the bedroom, a man in his 30s was lying, with a messy hair and a beard connected to his sideburns. He hadn't taken care of himself for a long time.

At this time, the unique neutral sound of the TV also sounded again.

"This man's information... is worth 10 points of chips. After purchase, it will be sent to the buyer's mobile phone."

......

"Oh~" Chen Xiao nodded slightly. It turned out that the so-called "story elements need to be purchased" meant.

Just as he thought of this, his opponent Tsujido-kun asked, "Is this person related to the story of this game?"

I have to say that his problem is very right. The picture just started with less than a minute. If such a person came out, who knew that he was the protagonist, boss or Lao Wang next door? If it didn't have a dime relationship with the story, the chips would not be wasted.

However, the answer that Tsujido-kun received was: "This question requires 3 chips, and I will only give you "affirm" and "negative" answers."

"Ah?" He questioned with his eyes empty: "Is this going to cost chips? Then can this person's information be kept for the future before buying?"

Sure enough...he got the answer:

"This question is worth 2 points..."

"くらぇ!~(Mom~)" Tsujido cursed quietly. (Since then, I have been speaking Chinese, don't be naughty!)

Just then...

"Can the story elements not be purchased at that time, and can I buy them later?" Chen Xiao almost asked the same question again before the other party finished speaking, and quickly added: "I am willing to pay two chips!"

"Okay~" the TV replied. The next second, Chen Xiao's cell phone rang. The above was the question he just asked, and the below was also displayed.

"Can't"

Three words.

Moreover, in the upper right corner of the phone, the 350 representing chips has also become 348.

"Hehehe--" Chen Xiao finished reading the answer, raised his head and showed a disgusting smile to Tsujido-kun...

The other party frowned: "I have a suggestion..."

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Chen Xiao responded.

Youren acted like he was thinking hard: "It seems that there are still many rules in this game that have not been clarified yet, such as the question you asked just now, and what would happen if all the chips were spent, and even whether the chips between you and me can be traded... Wait! In short, before you and I figured out the rules, there were too many variables in this game. This is a situation that you and I don't want to see, so I suggest that each of you and me took turns asking a question about the rules, and tell the other party after getting the answer, so that the game will be fair."

"Oh? How do you know that the rules I told you are correct?" Chen Xiao asked with interest.

The other party seemed to have thought of this question for a long time, and immediately asked at the TV: "Can we look at each other's mobile phone screens?"

"The problem is worth 2 points..."

"Pay~" Yuren answered interruptedly before the TV could finish his speech, and then his cell phone rang...

He looked down and then said, "As I thought, we can look at each other's mobile phones, so there is no situation of deceiving each other." As he said that, he turned his mobile phone to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao naturally changed his sight quickly...

"Okay~" Youren smiled helplessly when he saw the other party being so cautious, and said to the TV: "You can announce the answer to the question, right ~ This should not be a new question..."

The TV quickly said: "Of course it doesn't count. The rules will not prohibit both parties from watching each other's mobile phone screen..."

Yuto Tsujido still kept holding the phone and shrugged his shoulders, which meant: "Look...I didn't lie to you..."

But Chen Xiao just smiled again.

"I refuse...!"

"Okay, we...ah? What did you say?" the other party was stunned and said hurriedly: "Why should we refuse? This is a win-win proposal. The rules don't even figure out how to play, right!"

He was still trying his best to persuade him, but Chen Xiao obviously ignored him. "I want to see this person's information and take it with 10 o'clock!" He said to the TV, and shook his hand in due course, as if he was throwing a tip to send the waiter.

Soon, his cell phone rang.

"Well... it seems like a failed man without any highlights in his life..." After seeing this introduction, Chen Xiao whispered: "Hehe... he is full of storylines... This person may be the "protagonist"..."

The opposite side, who was still holding a cell phone waiting for Chen Xiao to change his mind, felt angry when he saw this guy's smirk expression.
