……

At this time, Liang Xi was lying under the buffet table.The buffet tables form an L-shape around the dining room, and the dining tables are simple rectangular four-legged tables.White tablecloths are laid on the dining table, and the red curtains can be hung around to greatly improve the grade of the table.Unless the guests lift the red curtain, Liang Xi cannot be found.In other words, as long as the corresponding red curtain is lifted, Liang Xi can be found.The position of Liang Xi is in the middle part of the vertical line of l, and the drink machine and smoked bacon are placed on this position.

Because of the pillars in the dining room, Liang Xi was able to drill out from the other end of the dining table against the wall to get food and drinks.

In the prologue and the first day of the official competition, Liang Xi worked hard and became the most beautiful boy in the audience.On the second match day, Liang Xi started a leisurely and calm mode.On today's fourth game day, Liang Xi's game attitude became negative. This can be intuitively felt from the chip distribution battle during the day. Liang Xi didn't even say a few words.

However, Ristone became the new star invited by this blood moon by means of clowns and jokes, so everyone didn't pay much attention to Liang Xi.Even Dick doesn't care where Liang Xi is, he cares more about whether Ristone can win tonight.

Ristone was still as stingy as the second day. In addition to buying basic equipment, he only spent 100 million to hire Red 18 and did not hire guards.In the several days of competition, it can be found that Red 18's observation ability is relatively good, but compared with other guests, Red 18 does not have much advantage.Then why did you hire Red 18?

how to say?Everyone has weaknesses, and Ristone's weakness is that he can't bear the embrace of beautiful women.Many people are aware of the noise made by Red 18 and Liston in the room in the afternoon.Some people speculate that Ristone and Red 18 hope to strengthen the covenant through the body.It is speculated that Ristone is willing to trade his remaining chips to Red 18 if he wins tonight.This is a very good condition, and Red 18 will not refuse, which also explains why Ristone did not hire anyone else.

a: "Bad news, Liang Xi removed the locator."

b: "Deliberately or unintentionally?"

a: "He is very smart, but not that smart. Even if the locator is placed in front of him, he may not know that it is the locator."

b: "The locator is inside his leather shoes. He didn't wear leather shoes, he only brought a pair of leather shoes and a pair of slippers."

a: "As he exchanged a large amount of euros, he gradually lost his enthusiasm for the game. It is understandable to wear a pair of slippers to cope with the game. I suggest urgently adopting plan b."

b: "No, once measure b is implemented, tomorrow will be full of variables."

a: "You are the boss and you have the final say. But the longer the time drags on..."

b: "We still have plan c."

a: "Plan c has many variables and uncertainties."

b: "Don't worry, we have a lot of chips. If you lose today, there will be tomorrow, if you lose tomorrow, there will be the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow. Do your own thing."

A: "Understood."

Chris hung up the phone, opened the inner door and walked to the balcony, enjoying the moonlight quietly.As white eliminated guests, they never left the cruise ship.They were arranged to live in the closed area on the fourth floor of the cruise ship, which is the residence of the crew, and the captain's cabin can be directly reached through the bridge.To be reasonable, Chris Thresh thinks the boss is right, but Chris Thresh has dealt with Liang Xi many times, and each time he suffers a little loss, which makes Chris Thresh instinctively afraid of Liang Xi .Maybe he is dead, but he can never die.

The time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was eight o'clock in the evening.The satellite phone in front of Thresh rang, and after connecting, Sera said: "The French call has been technically processed and is ready to be connected synchronously, 3, 2, 1."

Thresh answered the phone: "Hello."

Boss: "No news yet?"

Thresh: "No."

The boss asked, "What's the worst possible outcome?"

Thresh replied: "One chip less, one more enemy."

The boss asked: "What is the worst outcome of plan b?"

Thresh replied: "One less chip, one more enemy. The advantage is that the situation can be controlled."

The boss said: "Agreed to implement plan b."

……

晚上8点15分，血月邀请发生了最劲爆的丑闻，也可以称为千古笑料。红18成功找到豪斯。红18通过从里斯通处拿到的100万筹码，暗自购买了照相机。红18在8点10分发现了豪斯踪迹，她给里斯通的饮料中下了点粉末，导致里斯通8点14分去洗手间。红18趁机找到白2豪斯，拍下了豪斯的脸。

So far, with the elimination of four white guests, Ristone has become the laughing stock of everyone, even including the game briefing after the game.Several bosses mocked Listone unscrupulously in the conference call.Some people laughed at Ristone's boss and asked him what he planned to do?Fire Ristone, and the boss is out.Keeping Listone, who holds the most chips, will not bring victory, but only jokes.The boss of Red 18 is very proud. His voice change is very sharp, which makes people uncontrollably bored with his laughter.

Because of the ridicule of the boss of Red 18 at the meeting, the guests knew the reason for Listone's defeat during the supper time.Ristone's boss asked Ristone to form an alliance with at least one guest, and Ristone allyed with others in bed.After having a physical relationship, in order to express his trust, Ristone first transferred 100 million chips to Red 18, so that Red 18 had enough chips to buy a camera.

Red 8 and the others and their boss were very disappointed with today's result, but fortunately, they had a lot easier with the big wronged guy named Liston at the bottom.They ordered their substitutes to make proper friends with Ristone.Making friends with fools, even if you can't make money in blood, you will definitely not lose money.

Therefore, two groups of people were formed in the blood moon invitation, and one group laughed at Ristone to their heart's content to cover up their incompetence.A group of people looked for opportunities to comfort Ristone, drank with him, said a few words of sincerity, and gave Ristone a helping hand, which moved him quite a bit.Ristone's boss is also considered a wizard, regardless of whether he himself has exploded, anyway, he himself did not blame Ristone.After all, there are still three match days left for them.

For Liang Xi, tomorrow is the last game day, and the next two days are games for influential guests.Liang Xi's only hope is to sell more chips on the fifth day, and then sell himself at a suitable price when the final battle tomorrow night.If he guessed correctly, Liang Xi believed that he and others would also participate in the blood moon invitations on the sixth and seventh days, but they would definitely not be guests.

This blood moon invitation will produce 5-7 lower elders, that is, one per day.

Liang Xi looked at himself in pajamas in the mirror, and slapped himself on the face: "Work hard, work hard, if you get another vote, you will retire."

"Baby." Liang Xi answered Karin's call.

Karin: "It was discovered."

"What's the situation?" Liang Xi immediately became nervous, thinking of House. The only person who can save Karin in North America is House.

Karin: "After the toxicology report came out, the testing department immediately contacted the Canadian judiciary. They sent agents to the nursing home as soon as possible, and learned that Earl Blood Moon had been discharged from the hospital last night. The inquiry found that Earl Blood Moon left Canada early this morning .”

Liang Xi asked: "Are you safe?" This is Liang Xi's most concerned question.

Karin said: "I have returned to New York, and I am safe. After confirming that Earl Blood Moon is in a nursing home, I anonymously asked a bounty hunter to help sample Earl Blood Moon at a high price, and he will also handle the follow-up matters. He I have my own network in Canada. Sorry honey, I thought he'd figure it out, but it alarmed them."

Liang Xi said: "I don't care about alarming them, your safety is what I care about most. At least they haven't planned to kill Earl Blood Moon yet."

Karin replied: "That's right. Judging from the toxicology report, they seem to be fabricating the illness of Earl Blood Moon, not trying to kill him."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back to London."

Karin asked, "Is your blood moon invitation going well?"

"Pétain has been arrested, and I will make some money by the way. It will take three days before I return to London, and then I will deal with Pétain's matter." Liang Xi said: "One-eyed has already called me three times, asking me to Don't play such childish games again. If I'm not mistaken, he urgently needs a beast in clothes to help him pry Petain's mouth open."

Karin didn't spit out a mouthful of water: "What?"

Liang Xi smiled and said: "A beast in clothes, that is, people who don't wear clothes do things like beasts together."

Karin was helpless: "Baby, we will meet one day sooner or later, why are you itchy now?"

Liang Xi provoked: "I'm so scared, come and hit me, come and hit me."

"I have never lost with my mouth, and I have never won with my hands." Karin: "Take care of yourself, I will miss you."

"Where do you want to be?"

If you don't fight for a day, you will go to the house to expose the tiles!

Liang Xi: "I want to go anywhere."

Karin laughed: "Love you baby, good night."

Chapter 576 Blood Moon Battle (Seventeen)

On the fifth day, the chip distribution session.So far, 10 guests have withdrawn from the game, leaving only 14 guests.

When Dick arrived at the venue, he first said hello to Liang Xi: "Do you think you will die today?"

Liang Xi asked, "Is there any other possibility?"

迪克万分抱歉：“对不起，基本没有其他可能。好了，又到了万众瞩目的筹码分配时间，经过昨晚一战，红4仍旧持有2000万筹码。No.2：白1、红10、红16、红19持有100万。其他嘉宾筹码都低于100万筹码。今天我们要分配的筹码大约是2100万。”

Dick: "We are going to play a game: how much money do you want. This game is very simple, just enter the number of chips you want to get, and the total amount cannot exceed 2100 million. Rule 2100: The guest who enters the highest amount is eliminated and eliminated The chip distribution link. Rule [-]: Assuming that after the elimination of the highest, the total amount of chips input by other people does not exceed [-] million, then everyone will get chips accordingly."

迪克：“规则三：现在有14名玩家，最高淘汰后，还剩余13名玩家。假设13名玩家总额超过2100万，那么首先淘汰掉12人中出价最高者，如果总额还是高于2100万，继续淘汰总额最高者。规则四：本次下注以五万为单位。规则五：并列最高者全部淘汰。提示：2100万除以13等于161.5万。给大家10分钟时间考虑出价。”

When he heard that it was a math problem, Liang Xi was confused.Through logical reasoning, he believes that choosing 161 million will definitely be eliminated.Assuming that everyone chooses 161 million, then they will be tied for No.1 and all will be over.Unless someone brainstormed 162 million.How much is appropriate?Maybe everyone is a little confused.It doesn't matter, as long as they can get 100 million, they will fight for the fraction of hundreds of thousands.

Liang Xi input: 100 million.In Liang Xi's view, 100 million can definitely get the money.He did not realize that the main point of this game is not the average, but the highest price.

In the game, No.1 is sure to die, just avoid No.1.Even if there are still a lot of chips left, there is still another round.Will there be a dark horse to card No.2?Maybe, but do you know what the No.1 bid is?Why do you think you can get stuck in No.2?There is no alliance in the game at this stage, even if there is an alliance, who is willing to be No.1?

于是梁袭目瞪口呆的在第一轮被踢出局，5名嘉宾选了5万，5名嘉宾选了10万，3名嘉宾选了20万。

What is 5 used for?

Dick explained: "In the first test round, they are testing other people's behavior. The remaining 1950 million, the second round begins."

I despise you ten thousand times!Little did they know that the players among them were too regretful. If they knew that a fool would offer 100 million, they would definitely open more.

In the second round, some people started to think about it, and the highest bid was 50.However, the three people with 50 yuan were selected because they were the highest price, and the remaining 10 guests all chose 5 yuan.

There are still 1900 million chips left.

Liang Xi thought it was a one-shot deal, at worst, there would be another round of the game to share the leftovers. How could he know that after two rounds, there were still 1900 million undivided.It can be seen that the remaining 10 guests are also in great pain. They also want to rise up and swallow a large amount of chips in one go, but they will be kicked out of the game if they are a little higher.The most frightening thing is that judging from the current situation, there may be an embarrassing situation where everyone pays 5.

Seeing that the time is ripe, Dick said: "It's time for morning tea, it's [-]:[-] am, please come back to the venue by [-]:[-] am. Disband."

Know how to play, all kinds of intrigues will be staged in turn within this hour.Finding an ally, letting the ally sacrifice the high price, and following the price himself is Liang Xi thinks it is a safer way.Assuming that the allies bid 170 and you bid 165, other guests cannot be inserted in the middle. If someone bids higher than 170, the allies survived and both you and your allies made money.Someone's offer is lower than 165, which guarantees that he can get 165.

Looking for allies and prices depends on how these people play next.Liang Xi originally felt that he was very disappointed when he was eliminated early, but now looking at the entangled ants, Liang Xi felt that there was no need for him to die for such a small amount of money.When you arrive at the restaurant, you should eat and drink what you should eat.

Contrary to what Liang Xi thought, the 10 guests were not divided into 5 camps, but two camps.The members of a camp are red 8, red 9, red 10, red 15 and Listone.A camp member is the other five guests.To put it simply, they are divided into the encouragement group who support Ristone in a timely manner, and the contempt group who laugh at him.

Liang Xi sat in the middle, enjoying morning tea with the three players who were also eliminated.Due to lack of understanding of each other's personalities and views, and not wanting to chat casually, the four of them sat in four seats.

……

Liang Xi guessed that those who gave charcoal in the snow would encourage Ristone to pay a high price. They took advantage of it, and Ristone must agree.But Liang Xi made another mistake.The result of the third round was that Red 15 offered 305 million, Ristone offered 300 million, followed by Red 8, Red 9 and Red 10.The five people in the contempt group made a big mistake. Their highest price was 105 million, and the four were 100 million.After deducting the 15 million of red 310, the total chips are 1700 million.Such a large piece of meat was directly cut off by the encouragement group.Everyone lost interest in the remaining 200 million, and after two more rounds, the 200 million were randomly divided.

The encouragement group earned a total of 1300 million. According to the 260 million chips per person, everyone added 15 million chips to Red 260.Ristone gained a warm friendship and encouraged the rest of the group to gain important bargaining chips.

After the chip distribution, Ristone led with nearly 2400 million chips, and No. 2300 million was a member of the encouragement group. No.3 is about one million despise group members.In the end, the bottom ones were naturally the three who were eliminated early.

Dick asked Liang Xi: "How many chips do you have?"

Liang Xi replied: "100 million."

Dick said: "I suggest you sell, your chips are worthless."

Ristone had a brother by his side, and his voice became louder, and he immediately said, "20, I bought it."

"cut!"

A, who was eliminated from the game, stretched out two fingers and said, "200 million." Although the chance is slim, it must be given a chance.

B who was eliminated from the game: "300 million."

C who was eliminated from the game: "I offer 400 million."

Ristone was stunned: "Are you all right? What can 100 million chips change?"

c looked at Ristone: "Then you sell it?"

Ristone shook his head: "I don't sell." That's right, Liang Xi is the only one who sells chips, and he is also the only one who can bring some hope to the three players.It's okay if the game sucks, and a krypton gold npc was created.What a shitty designer.

Seeing Liang Xi's desperation leave with C, Red 8 relieved: "Don't be as knowledgeable as him, night is your time for revenge."

Ristone responded: "No, no, those who can get it. We are all good friends, whoever has the ability wins."

Red 9 applauded: "Well said, let's go have a drink."

"Let's go." Picking up the wine glass, Hong Ba and the others looked at each other with a weird smile.

……

After selling the chips, Liang Xi returned to the fifth floor where he was alone, lying on a bench in the garden, Liang Xi stared at the stars in the sky through the glass skylight in a daze.Unknowingly fell asleep, and woke up with food on the table next to him.Liang Xi sat down and recalled the time, whether it was lunch or afternoon tea.It should be afternoon tea.

Perhaps because he heard that Liang Xi had taken a nap, Dick soon arrived at the fifth floor, walked to the middle garden and sat opposite Liang Xi, and asked, "Is the game fun?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Generally speaking, it's okay."

Dick smiled: "The designer thinks the game is fun, the NPCs think the game is fun, and the supporting characters also think the game is fun. Only the players think the game is not fun."

Liang Xi asked, "Am I a supporting role?"

"No, you are an npc." Dick said, "The poor guest is the supporting role."

"Thank you."

Dick said, "I'm here to explain the rules of the game for today's final night."

"It doesn't matter, I'm dead anyway."

"No, you are basically dead, or you may not die," Dick said, "Rules of the game: You are an invincible devil..."

Liang Xi interrupted: "Swipe the boss."

Dick nodded: "There are 20 guards around you. All guards are equipped with pistols and unlimited bullets. It's lasers and induction clothing. Whoever can kill you is the winner tonight. Your range of activities is on the fifth floor. You The guards are also on the fifth floor. You can choose the guards yourself, or you can arrange the guard work."

Liang Xi raised his hand to call the guard captain over: "He is my security supervisor tonight."

Dick nodded: "Your name is Peek?"

The captain of the guard nodded, that's right, he is Peake, Bobby's personal bodyguard.The cruise ship applied for the second batch of 80 guards, and Bobby put Peake in.Pique's job was to be responsible for Liang Xi's safety, so he was also assigned to the fifth floor as the captain of the guard.Although it doesn't mean much, it's more or less a way for Bobby to compensate for the guilt he felt for abandoning his brother.

Dick explained the rules of the game, and Pick asked: "Our pistols? What about them?"

Dick replied, "They probably have all kinds of weapons."

Pick looked around and said, "In an indoor space, the best weapon is a pistol." The five-story indoor area is 500 square meters, with ten rooms and a public garden.The open-air area is [-] square meters, including a communal swimming pool and golf course.A golf course where you can practice your tee shot against the ocean.

Dick said: "Attention, you can't touch your body, and you can't use cold weapons, including fists."
