Chapter 2336

Humans are intelligent species.

And intelligent species often have a selfish side.

This is different from social species such as ants. Ants are absolutely obedient to the queen, and obey the rules of biological instinct, and perform their duties.

But humans are different. Humans are not only social animals, but also intelligent animals. Each individual is full of ordinary or incomprehensible "wisdom".

Especially when it comes to rules.

While human beings are constantly promoting new rules to maintain a stable society, they are racking their brains to exploit the loopholes in the rules to make profits for themselves.

For example, in this "game", the rule of the game is that everyone is an independent participant, and the final winner must be determined through competition.

But before the game even started, someone had already formed a team, which made Alice very annoyed.

She also realized that the situation she faced would become more complicated and worse.

What one person can do is very limited. It is impossible for one person to make complex traps or fortifications in the wild in a short time, but there are many people.

Facing the invitation from the person in front of her, Alice didn't immediately agree or refuse, she was weighing the pros and cons.

The visitor didn't urge her, but just looked at her with a half-smile.

The game was brutal, but for many, it was truly life-saving.

This is true for Alice.

The same goes for the man in front of her.

As long as they can get to the end, they will get not only money, but also a ticket to freedom!
After thinking about it for a long time, Alice still decided to be alone, "Sorry, I don't like to cooperate with others. You know, it's hard for people like us to trust others."

The man nodded and left voluntarily. They are all killers, top killers.

They don't trust anyone but themselves.

Those who believed in their companions in the training camp are now almost rotten, and their survival shows that they have taken that step.

But Alice quickly found the organizing committee of the show and reported the incident.

The organizing committee also attaches great importance to it. Before the game started, the company has received bets from all over the world, and the total bet amount has exceeded 50 billion.

And this number is rising at an exaggerated rate!
This game uses a dynamic odds adjustment method, anyone can bet at any time, as long as the game is not over.

But the sooner you place your bet, the greater the profit. For example, everyone's odds are now [-] to [-].

But as long as the game starts, the odds will be adjusted quickly to match the player's performance in the game.

The fluctuation of the odds will not affect the locked odds of each bet, and each bet is an independent odds.

The whole set of odds adjustment methods has a set of compensation mechanisms. For example, when someone is injured, the odds of this person will increase.

The more serious the injury, the higher the odds.

If someone is severely injured, unable to move, and may die at any time, his odds may rise to hundreds or even thousands for one!

The more likely you are to win the game, the lower the odds.

The reverse is also true, the less likely you are to win the game, the higher the odds.

This set of floating algorithms is simply the favorite of dog gamblers. They are willing to gamble with the highest rate of return at the same cost, even if they take more risks.

The betting will be more and more after the game starts!
The betting on Alice is only more than 100 million, and the organizing committee believes that she will attract more betting after the game starts.

As one of the few female participants, she would be "at a disadvantage" among a large group of men, her odds would inevitably go up, and many people would bet on her while waiting for her odds to go up.

At present, the one with the most chips on his back has exceeded [-] million. A "Gladiator King" from the Grand Arena has created a strong man with seven consecutive victories.

Once the odds of such a person start to fluctuate, they will inevitably quickly drop to a reasonable range, and it is basically impossible to return to the odds of one hundred or more.

So many people bet on him in advance to get the highest odds.

But among more than 200 contestants, it is really hard to say who will make it to the end!
The organizing committee attached great importance to the information provided by Alice and discussed it immediately.

Some people agree with spontaneous team formation, and think that this is also a game method that complies with the rules. If there is no denial of team formation in the game, then team formation is allowed.

However, some people do not agree with the behavior of team formation. If team formation is supported, it should be written in the rules to allow team formation and accept team registration.

Instead of only accepting independent game participants to register, once these lone wolves and the team meet head-on, the winning rate will be very small.

Neither of the two sides could convince anyone, and they fed back the problem to Lynch. At this time, the only person who can make a decision is the founder of the game.

"Is there any problem with the battlefield material delivery system?"

he asks.

The person in charge of the organizing committee quickly replied, "There is no problem, Mr. Lynch, we can accurately place a certain item in a certain area, with an error of no more than 50 meters."

Lynch's previous idea was to deliver materials through the island's internal space. To put it simply, he would set up many lifting platforms and then lift things up from the ground.

However, when this idea appeared, the construction of the island was nearly completed, and the isolated island could not be realized, and could only be realized on subsequent islands.

But with the start of island operations, everyone also discovered a problem.

Lynch's idea is very good, but the project volume is too large, and the requirements on equipment are also very high.

So after a brief discussion, the delivery of materials was changed to "shelling" delivery.

A cannon-like launching device that fires a cannonball-like supply box to a specific location.

There is a timer inside this drop, which can be set before launch. After a period of time, a small buffer parachute will be ejected from the tail to ensure that the material lands safely.

There is a ventilation hole inside the "projectile body". In addition to helping the tail stabilizer, this ventilation hole will also cool down an internal heater.

Once the shells are inhibited and there is no air flow through the vents, the heating wires will melt the parachute cords.

This is to prevent it from ending up hanging on a tree.

Generally speaking, this delivery system is very efficient in testing, with a high accuracy rate and a fast delivery speed.

It can be placed in any corner of the island within 2 minutes at most.

Hearing this answer, Lynch told his own answer, "Don't refuse, don't be active, tell everyone that you must abide by all the regulations above the rules, but if they are not listed, they don't have to obey."

"As for the balance between the lone wolf and the team through material compensation, the more people in the team, the lower the amount and level of materials they get."

"Count these into the odds compensation..."

The person in charge of the organizing committee was a little hesitant. He was the one who voted against it, "Mr. Lynch, if there are a large number of teams...and they are powerful, they may disrupt the balance."

"Even if we reduce their material acquisition, their advantages are very obvious."

"And the numerical advantage is likely to lead to a snowball effect..."

Lynch thought for a few seconds, and then gave him an answer, "Add a temporary rule, teams with more than five people will have a certain probability of being bombarded, one round every two hours."

“The larger the team, the more shells can be fired in a single bombardment.”

"If there is a very large team present, conduct a large-scale saturation shelling of their area every three hours."

"As for the reason... the Island Command discovered a large-scale invader and applied for artillery support."

"In short, we must maintain a good balance, but not be too rigid. If there are a large number of small teams, increase the supply of materials to the lone wolf contestants, give them hot weapons, and control the ammunition."

"Control the balance within the area and the balance of the entire island, I believe you can handle it!"

After thinking for a while, the person in charge of the organizing committee roughly understood Lynch's thoughts.

Even if the team will continue to exist under the threat of shelling, the number will not be so large that it will affect the balance.

Smaller teams, such as three-person teams, are no match for lone wolves with hot weapons.

And in order to prevent the lone wolf from quickly "passing the customs" because of having a hot weapon, a weapon with one bullet or two bullets will do.

In the conflict, the balance between the lone wolf and the team can be neutralized, and the lone wolf players will not be killed because of hot weapons.

After hanging up the phone, the person in charge of the organizing committee notified the result of "allowing spontaneous team formation", but at the same time he reminded that "Crysis" itself has a plot.

If the number of teams is too large, it will cause unpredictable dangers.

As for the danger, he didn't mention it.

At the same time, the organizing committee also pointed out that the probability and quantity of supplies obtained by the team will be lower than that of lone wolf players.

Alice and all the lone wolf players breathed a sigh of relief, but those players who had already started forming a team were a little unsure whether to continue forming a team.

There were still more than ten hours before the official start of the game. Alice took a good bath and fell into a deep sleep.

She knew that this would be her last peaceful night before she died, or before she was completely free!

Early the next morning, the base's horn sounded, and everyone quickly switched out of sleep and came outside the base.

Alice also received a set of basic equipment, and then walked towards the crowd.

The basic equipment includes a backpack, a map, a multifunctional survival knife, a nine-meter-long rope, a water bottle, a magnesium rod, and an emergency medical kit.

And everyone can -

one pound compressed biscuits

A bundle of two meters long wire

a sapper shovel
two sticks of epinephrine
A set of lockpicking tools

a flashlight
a machete
a large medical kit

an extra kettle
a telescope
——Choose two supplements freely.

Alice chose a set of lockpicking tools and two sticks of epinephrine.

As everyone finished picking things, everyone started to board the plane...
