I'm delivering food in an escape game

Fan Wan noticed the layout of the entire cruise ship. The first floor is the game area where they are currently located. It is the uppermost floor of the cruise ship. The casino that enters from the deck is very advanced in terms of decoration and equipment.There should be a first floor and a second floor underneath, and the VIP room is on the second floor. There are security systems and bodyguards in black around the game field.

It seems that the player's range of activities is not completely free, at least for now they can only move on the first floor.

At this moment, the area on the first floor where they are located is divided into a well-shaped area, and each area is equipped with a giant screen. There is no difference, and it is estimated that it is just to avoid crowding.

Probably the game was about to start, and everyone on the first floor gathered around the screen in their area.

The players around seemed very calm and patient, almost doing their own thing, nothing particularly eye-catching.Fan Wan glanced at the crowd, including the boss Zhou, Master No. 5, who was sitting far away on the sofa in the outfield, holding a coffee cup leisurely, not caring about the movement inside the arena at all.

The little brother bumped Fan Wan with his elbow, and he came back to his senses when he heard the little brother say, "Look at the screen, the content has appeared."

On the screen in front of them, a picture like a promotional advertisement appeared at this moment. There was a gold coin that was constantly flipping. The gold coin was engraved with "infinity", but they didn't know what it meant.

Afterwards, several staff members in uniforms came in. They didn't know whether they were employees of Infinity Group or NPCs in the game. They distributed a special full-screen device to each player, which was only the size of a mobile phone.

According to the prompts, enter your own number in the device, which is the identity of the digital card you got when you boarded the ship. Fan Wan's is 67, and my brother's is 68.After inputting, the device displayed the information shown. Fan Wan noticed that there was a "￥" symbol in the upper left corner of the screen, which indicated that there were 1000 million credits in the account at the moment.

Fan Wan didn't have time to take a closer look, and soon the broadcast rang: "Good evening, everyone, our gold coin auction is about to start, please pay attention to read the rules on the screen, you will have 5 minutes to prepare , and the first auction of this round of games will start later.”

Fan Wan didn't understand what kind of game this was. The meaning of listening to the radio was like entering an auction site.While the other players were still calm, there was no commotion in the crowd, and no one raised any questions, just staring at the equipment in their hands engrossed.

After a while, the rules of the game were played on the big screen, and at the same time, there was an artificial voice for simultaneous reading.

"At this moment, there are 1000 million points in the equipment in each player's hand. This point is lent by Infinity Group, and the player needs to repay it after the game ends."

The artificial broadcast paused for a while, and then continued to the next paragraph: "Players need to use the points in their hands to purchase the unlimited gold coins displayed on the big screen at this moment. The purchase method is auction."

"Every 1 minute, the system will auction an infinite gold coin on the big screen, and the auction will end after 1 minute. Players bid to buy, and the highest bidder wins. If there are equal bids after the time is over, the first bidder wins."

"Please note that points and gold coins between players cannot be gifted or shared."

"The game lasted for 120 minutes, and the total number of players was 108."

"When the 120-minute game is over and the player does not have at least one infinite gold coin in his hand, all points will be cleared and he will be eliminated."

"Players who are out of the game will not die, but they need to repay 1000 million points to Infinity Group. If any accident occurs to the player in the game, it will be repaid by the player's relatives and friends, and Infinity Group will pursue debt collection."

Fan Wan looked at the equipment in his hand and sorted out the rules. It turned out that the one thousand credits in the equipment were borrowed by Infinity Group to buy the gold coin for the auction. It took 120 minutes in total. If you couldn’t buy even one gold coin in the end If it is eliminated, and the points are cleared, I have to pay back the 1000 million points of the Infinity Group.

"I'm a poor food delivery guy. I've saved thousands of points through hard work, and I don't even have 1000 million points in total. How can I pay it back?" Fan Wan rubbed his forehead, as if his focus was a bit off.

The little brother lit a cigarette indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, I borrowed it. If you kill the infinite group, you don't have to pay it back."

Fan Wan was amused by the little brother, and clapped his hands: "That's right, if you take back my Taoduo, 1000 million is nothing."

The atmosphere was quite relaxed. The two were talking and laughing, and Fan Wan suddenly gasped, feeling a little strange.

"This game lends each player 1000 million to buy that infinite gold coin, but it doesn't say what's the use of buying gold coins." Fan Wan asked a little puzzled.

The little brother thought for a while and replied: "This is only the first stage of the game. It is very likely that the second stage of the game will need this gold coin, but there is no word on what the next game will be, and there is no information at all."

Fan Wan nodded: "There is no information about the next step. I only said that less than one gold coin was eliminated, but I didn't say how to win. Is it the one with more gold coins that wins? I'm not sure."

"It's also possible that this round of the game is just to eliminate a group of people, not to win." The little brother said.

Fan Wan frowned, still a little puzzled, he analyzed: "Buying gold coins is in the form of an auction, that is, the highest bidder wins, and if the price is the same, the first bidder wins, then if the quotation is made immediately at the beginning, a direct bid of 1000 million Points, so take a gold coin, because everyone's points are the same, it is impossible for someone to bid more than 1000 million, just work hard, and you will definitely not be eliminated."

However, Fan Wan also knew that this was not the optimal solution.

It is impossible for the game to design a mechanism without winning or losing, because it is meaningless, so it is definitely not possible just to avoid being eliminated.

The little brother probably meant the same thing, and he replied: "Although I don't know what game will be in the next stage and what the value of this gold coin is, but the more the better, the test is how to get more gold coins with 1000 million points. Where players level."

Fan Wan thought of something again, and said: "Now there are 108 players in total, and one gold coin is auctioned every minute for a total of 120 minutes, which means there are 120 gold coins in total. Finally, when they have gold coins in their hands and don’t have much money, we can bid for the next gold coins at a lower price.”

Realizing that he was speaking in a convoluted way, Fan Wan said again: "Let me just give you a simple example. For example, if the 106 people in front buy gold coins with high points such as 800 million each, then they will only have a few gold coins left in their hands." Maybe about 200 million points, and there are 14 gold coins, and then we bid about 300 million each time, which is higher than the remaining 200 million in their hands, and we can take one piece, so that you and I can each get 3 to 4 It’s a good deal.”

But the little brother reminded: "If you can think of this, these are masters, so it shouldn't be impossible for you to think of it."

Fan Wan smacked his lips. Thinking about it, he probably underestimated the difficulty of the game. Although he had never participated in a similar auction before, and he didn't even know how to trade stocks, he still knew that this kind of situation was always changing rapidly. Take full control.

He had no choice but to reply: "Indeed, let's look at the quotation screen first. If no one buys it at the beginning, let's just quote 100 million and see if we can miss it."

Soon, the 5 minutes of preparation time passed, and the lights of the devices in each player's hands were lit, obviously preparing to start the first round of bidding.

The first infinite gold coin was launched on the big screen, and the time was marked in the center, which seemed to stimulate the player's adrenaline.

00: 00: 59

In the blink of an eye, it immediately entered a one-minute countdown.

Fan Wan didn't want to grab the first gold coin in the past. Like his younger brother, he always took a wait-and-see attitude and sought to win steadily. He had to find out the situation first, but because there was no reserve price for gold coins, he decided to enter 100 million points to try. Can you pick up the leak, first take a gold coin as a gold medal for avoiding death.

However, when he was about to enter, he found that in just a dozen seconds, the bidding price had reached 350 million points.

Fan Wan glanced at the little brother, so fast?

He had no choice but to stop and continue to observe the rising prices.

After the 1 minute time is up, the countdown to the next round starts immediately.

The last gold coin was also displayed in the list on the upper left corner of the screen, and the final transaction price was 500 million points.

This pace is very fast, one round per minute, and there is no time to think.

Fan Wan almost gave up on the second round of bidding and started discussing with the younger brother.

"Why the price of 500 million?"

The little brother replied: "Because the points cannot be shared, that is to say, if a person spends 500 million, if the price of gold coins does not continue to rise, he will still have the opportunity to participate in the future. This price is the safest, and generally the first No one dares to exceed this price.”

Can estimate where the most suitable price range is, and hold a gold coin, it seems that the first player who wins the bid is also very clear-headed.

Soon, the second round of bidding ended.

Fan Wan looked up and froze in place.

The second round of gold coin transaction price, the final transaction price was as high as 1000 million points!

The younger brother also noticed a big change in the auction situation, both of them changed their expressions and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Because when the third round started, only three seconds passed, and at 00:00:57, the opening price was directly 1000 million.

That is to say, someone directly quoted the highest price as soon as the market opened in the third round.

"What's the situation?!" Fan Wan was caught off guard and yelled, "It's unreasonable. After all, no matter how bad it is, after all the people in front have bought it, the remaining gold coins can be photographed. There are 120 coins in total, and the number of people There are only 108 people, don't be so anxious?"

"No!" At this time, someone in the crowd noticed something strange, and their voice was extremely frightened.
