Chapter 121: A Game of Thrones, Trust Gone.
The room was silent for two seconds.
Chen He stopped.
Deng Chao's eyebrows furrowed.
Shen Teng's smile slowly changed its meaning.
Chow Yun-fat twirled his folding fan in his hand.
Stephen Chow frowned as he looked at the rules.
Andy Lau spoke first.
"In other words, those who contribute the most work for nothing."
"right."
Chen Yang nodded.
"Only the group that submits the fewest submissions is qualified to compete with the production team."
Wang Baoqiang scratched his head.
"So...doesn't everyone want to be in the minority?"
"right."
"But how does one become part of the minority?"
Chen He suddenly stood up from his chair.
"I understand!"
Everyone looked at him.
His eyes were frighteningly bright, and he drew a circle in the air with his index finger.
"This is not a game of luck."
He slapped the table.
"This is a game of probability!"
"If you want to be in the minority, you have to guess what the other nine people will pick."
"If you guess that most people will choose paper, then you should choose rock or scissors."
"But the problem is, everyone is guessing, and everyone wants to avoid the majority."
He spoke faster and faster.
"This becomes: you guess how I guess you, and I guess how you guess how I guess you."
He turned around and pointed at everyone.
"Matryoshka dolls! Infinite matryoshka dolls!"
Deng Chao slowly leaned back in his chair.
"Is Hehe reciting a tongue twister?"
Everyone laughed again.
Shen Teng raised his hand in the corner.
"I have a question."
"explain."
"What if out of ten people, five people hold each of two different types of cards?"
"Neither of those groups is a minority, because the number is the same."
Chen Yang answered.
"Then this round doesn't count! It needs to be played again."
Shen Teng nodded.
"So we still need to avoid a tie."
He smiled.
"This is getting more and more interesting."
Andy Lau put down the mineral water bottle, his voice gentle yet precise.
"What if everyone discussed it beforehand?"
Everyone looked at him.
"For example, if there are ten of us, we agree in advance that nine of us will play paper and one of us will play stone."
He speaks slowly and clearly.
"The person who pulls out the stone is in the minority and is guaranteed to get the gold coins."
"But the problem is..."
He smiled.
"Who will be the one to pull out the stone?"
"Only a select few will receive the rewards; the other nine will work for nothing."
Why should those nine people cooperate with you?
Chen He opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Deng Chao glanced at Hua Zai.
"Brother Hua, we have to win! How can we let others have it all to ourselves!"
Andy Lau waved his hand.
"Oh, right!"
Chow Yun-fat chuckled beside him, slapping his thigh with his fan.
"Andy Lau is right, this is a case of unequal distribution of spoils."
Stephen Chow remained silent.
He sat in the corner, his hands on the table, his fingertips lightly touching the three cards.
Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.
He slightly raised his eyelids.
"An alliance can be formed."
The sound wasn't loud, but the room fell silent instantly.
Stephen Chow pushed up his glasses.
It paused for two seconds.
"But betrayal is also possible."
Those five words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over me.
Chen He was stunned.
Deng Chao's smile froze for a moment.
Baby unconsciously clenched the cards in her hand.
After saying this, Stephen Chow lowered his head again.
That's all.
Chow Yun-fat glanced at him, then slowly closed his folding fan.
"Sing is right."
His tone changed; he was no longer the playful old man he had been moments before.
"You agreed to play cloth together with someone, and they verbally agreed, but then they played stone."
"You'll become a fool."
Li Chen muttered something from the side.
"So, in this game...who should we trust?"
No one answered.
Because the answer is already on the table.
You can't trust anyone.
Chen Yang watched the changes in the expressions of the ten people, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
now it's right.
"it is good."
He clapped his hands.
"I'll give you ten minutes for free discussion."
Deng was the first to stand up.
He went straight to Chow Yun-fat.
"Brother Fa, let's team up."
Chow Yun-fat crossed his legs and opened his fan again.
How do I contact them?
Deng Chao lowered his voice and leaned close to his ear.
"If we both choose stones, and everyone else chooses something else, we'll be in the minority."
Chow Yun-fat smiled and shook his head.
"What if someone else also wants to put up a stone?"
That's why we need to find out.
Deng Chao's eyes darted around.
"I'll go ask other people and see which way the wind is blowing."
"You stay here and don't move, I'll go."
Chow Yun-fat waved his fan.
"Okay, go ahead."
Deng patted Chow Yun-fat on the shoulder and turned to leave.
the other side.
Chen He had already pulled Zheng Kai into a corner.
"Kai Kai, listen to me."
"What are you up to now?"
"Let's play cloth."
Zheng Kai frowned.
Why?
"Think about it, most people's first instinct would be to pick up a stone."
Chen He spoke in a low voice, at an extremely fast pace.
"Stones are the most stable and have the strongest psychological suggestion, so stones must be the majority."
"If we produce cloth, we might actually become the minority."
Zheng Kai thought for a moment.
"That makes sense, but what if others think the same way?"
"It's impossible for everyone to think that way!"
"How can I trust you with a brain like yours?!"
Chen He's face darkened.
Shen Teng slowly stood up from his chair and strolled over to Andy Lau's side.
"Brother Hua".
Andy Lau looked up at him.
"What are you planning to do?"
Andy Lau smiled.
"You go first?"
Shen Teng smiled too.
"If I knew, would I be asking you?"
The two stared at each other for two seconds.
They laughed at the same time.
Nobody said anything.
Wang Baoqiang remained seated and did not move.
He counted on his fingers, over and over again.
"The minority won five, tied three, and lost one..."
He calculated for a long time, then looked up at Li Chen.
"Brother Chen, what are you going to play?"
Li Chen rubbed his hands together.
"I haven't decided yet."
"How about we pay for it together?"
"What's coming out?"
"Stones! I love stones!"
"...You're just relying on your gut feeling, aren't you?"
"What's wrong with my intuition? My intuition is always right!"
Baby sat alone in her seat, repeatedly touching the three cards with both hands.
Rock, paper, scissors.
She tilted her head and muttered something.
"It's so hard to choose."
Deng Chao circled around and returned to Fa Ge's side.
"Brother Fa, I've done my research."
"How is it?"
"Nobody told me the truth."
Chow Yun-fat laughed heartily.
"That's perfectly normal."
Deng Chao had a bitter face.
"Once Stephen Chow uttered that word about betrayal, everything was over. Nobody dared to tell the truth."
He turned around and glanced at Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow sat in the corner, his finger gently pressing on a card.
I can't see which one I pressed.
"Brother Chow, what exactly did you do?"
Deng was in a hurry.
Chow Yun-fat tapped his shoulder with his fan.
What do you think?
"...You didn't even tell me?"
"If I tell you, you'll be betraying me."
Chow Yun-fat is smiling very happily.
Deng Chao's expression was a mixture of emotions.
Chen Yang stood in front, watching this scene unfold.
Ten people gathered in twos and threes, ostensibly discussing something, but actually testing each other.
No one revealed their hand.
Stephen Chow's words were too harsh.
It severed all trust with a single stroke.
That's the most ingenious part of this game.
It's not about luck.
It's about who understands people's hearts better.
Chen Yang spoke.
"Please return to your seats."
Footsteps sounded.
The ten people returned to their seats one after another.
The moment Chen He sat down, he turned back to look at Zheng Kai again.
Zheng Kai nodded at him.
Chen He turned around and placed his finger on a card.
Deng sat up straight and glanced at Chow Yun-fat.
Chow Yun-fat closed his folding fan and smiled at him.
That smile was neither a comfort nor a warning.
Shen Teng held a card between two fingers, rubbing his thumb back and forth on the surface of the card.
Andy Lau sat upright, having already chosen his cards, with both hands resting on them.
Stephen Chow's cards were also chosen.
One hand gently rested on it.
Nobody knows what he chose.
No one even knows what he's thinking.
Baby bit her lip and switched between the stone and the cloth three times.
Finally, I closed my eyes and pressed down on one of the cards.
Wang Baoqiang had already set it up.
Stone.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Chen Yang's voice was steady.
"Everyone, place your chosen cards face down in the center of the table."
"It can't be changed anymore."
Ten hands simultaneously pushed the cards to the center of the table.
Neat and decisive.
Chen Yang took a sealed black envelope out of his pocket.
"The production team's sign is here."
He held up the envelope and waved it at the camera.
"We were chosen in advance, just like you. There was no cheating or collusion."
He placed the envelope on the table in front of the whiteboard.
"Now, reveal your hand."
He glanced at the entire room.
"three."
Deng Chao's fingers touched the edge of the card.
"two."
Chen He's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
"one."
"turn!"
All ten cards are turned over at the same time.
Chen Yang's gaze swept from left to right.
Deng Chao — Stone.
Li Chen – Stone.
Shen Teng – Scissors.
Wang Baoqiang – Stone.
Chen He – Cloth.
Zheng Kai – Cloth.
baby——cloth.
Chow Yun-fat – Stone.
Andy Lau – Scissors.
Stephen Chow – Cloth.
Chen Yang quickly counted in his mind.
Stone: Deng Chao, Li Chen, Wang Baoqiang, and Fa Ge, four people.
The cast includes Chen He, Zheng Kai, Angelababy, and Stephen Chow.
Scissors: Shen Teng and Hua Zai, two people.
The minority is the scissors.
Shen Teng and Andy Lau.
Chen He saw that his cloth was next to Zheng Kai's cloth, and then he saw four stones opposite him.
His expression changed.
"Four stones and four cloth?!"
He suddenly turned around and looked at Zheng Kai.
"I told you to put out the cloth, and you really did?"
"It's out."
"But Bu is not in the minority!"
"Then what did you mean before about most people getting stones? Four stones and four paper, that's the same!"
Chen He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Shen Teng leaned back in his chair, looking down at the scissors cards on his desk.
Then he looked up, his smile particularly irritating.
"Excuse me."
He waved to the entire audience.
"I'm in the minority."
Andy Lau smiled on the other side and raised his scissors sign.
"And me too."
At this moment, Chen Yang opened the black envelope.
Draw a card from it.
Lift it up.
All eyes in the room turned to him.
The card faces outwards.
Scissors.
The production team also provided scissors.
It's even.
Shen Teng smiled.
"Three gold coins, not a loss."
Andy Lau smiled and nodded.
"Three is enough."
Chen He plopped back into his chair and put his hands behind his head.
"I planned for ten minutes, but I didn't get a single one."
Zheng Kai, standing to the side, delivered a final blow with a blank expression.
"Genius He, did you forget your brain when you left home?"
"Zheng Kai, shut up!"
Chen Yang watched this scene and carefully put the envelope away.
"Round 1 is over."
His tone remained nonchalant.
"Congratulations to Shen Teng and Hua Ge for each winning three gold coins."
