Blackstone Code

Chapter 1378: endgame

As the ratings are getting higher and higher, the attention of the prime-time evening is focused on "Millionaire". Even if many TV stations want to do something to bring the situation back, unfortunately, they can't do anything.

Many people clearly realize that as long as the Blackstone Media TV station really distributes one million dollars today, then a TV era belonging to Blackstone Media will come.

No one can resist the shock of a million, even if some TV stations want to imitate...

They can't come up with that much money either.

Sometimes it's nice to have money, because money can solve almost all the troubles in this world!

Over time the players have become more familiar with the way the game is played, and most of them have mastered the correct way of playing, with more than two players winning the game in almost every round.

In this way, the points of all the contestants bite each other tightly, and it is difficult to open too much distance.

When the host announced the end of the first stage of the competition, the bonuses in the hands of each player had accumulated, approaching the level of 800,000.

This also means that a more tragic battle between players is coming.

Harry glanced at his scoreboard. He had 198,500 points, which was... 20,000 points less than first place.

It seems a bit too much, but at this point, this point is not enough to cause an irreparable gap.

When the commercial was over, the camera cut back, and the director on the scene told the host to continue, and the host started the final introduction to the game rules.

"If anyone wants to quit... now can raise their hand."

"After withdrawing players take part of the prize money, the other part will be accumulated in the final prize pool as a reward for the final game and awarded to the winner."

"So, is anyone leaving now?"

Due to the restrictions of the competition rules, if you withdraw, you will not be able to get all the bonuses, so some people take away tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses at most.

If these bonuses are in the early stages of the competition, in the monthly competition, they may still be attractive to these players.

They are not sure if they are the one who can reach the end in the end. When the probability is so small that they are almost invisible, they leave with tens of thousands of dollars. Maybe they can only make their lives a little more comfortable, and it has no meaning for the future. , but at least that's worth it.

But now, everyone has a 25% probability of being the one who takes away one million in the end. Compared with one million, who is willing to give up?

Compared with one million, this is actually a lot of tens of thousands of dollars for them, and it has become inconspicuous.

In silence, the host nodded slightly, "Very good, no one quits, the next game will decide who can take away one million today, the rules are very simple..."

"During four months of competition, you may have experienced or watched a lot of interesting, different games."

"You should also know that these competitions themselves do not have any requirements for your education."

"Whether you are literate or not, and whether you have a very broad reading environment, it has little impact on the outcome, because the answer is often by our side, but it is not paid attention to by us."

"Now, in the last leg of the season, let's get everything back to basics and make everything simple."

"The rules of this game are very simple. Each of you can choose a card pack. There are twelve cards in each card pack. You can freely choose three of them as your answer."

"The above is the 'answer' you hold, and what you have to do is to guess what other people's answers are by asking!"

"Only one answer is valid at a time. In each round, each person has three free questions. When the three free questions are used up, you need to pay the questionee different points for each question."

"For the fourth question, you need to pay 2,000 points, for the fifth question, you need to pay 4,000 points, and for the sixth question, you need to pay 8,000 points..."

"Then 16,000 points, 32,000 points, 64,000 points..."

"There is no upper limit on the number of questions asked this time. As long as you have enough points, you can keep asking!"

"Every person can only ask each other one question in each round, or you can give up asking questions, but you can't ask more."

"If someone's answer is guessed right, the person who holds the answer will deduct one-third of the total points and transfer it to the correct answerer, and activate the second answer."

"If all three answer cards in one's possession are guessed, then he loses his chance to win the prize and leaves with our souvenir."

"All answers must comply with the rules of the answer. Except for directly asking what the answer is, any question can be asked, as long as it is related to the content of the program."

"The respondent's answer has to match the answer, like the thing is round, you can't tell people it's any other shape, or it's not round."

"Those who guess the answer in other people's hands, and who are guessed by others, can refresh the number of free questions."

"If all of you don't have enough points for you to continue asking questions, then all of you will lose once, and one-third of the points will go back to the prize pool for the final winner."

"By the way, all of the things that the answers describe are basically on our side."

"Do you have any other questions?"

The rules of the competition are actually very simple, similar to some intelligence games. When asked some simple questions, such as "Can you ask different people?" and "Is there a clear pairing?" A very loose answer.

Obviously his answer was simple, but this suddenly made all the contestants nervous.

Through the host's answers, they realized that this seemingly simple game was actually not that simple.

The reason is very simple. If three people ask the same person questions, then this person is largely unstoppable.

Nine questions, or more, can easily knock someone out first.

In other words, no rules became one of the scariest rules of the game!

But at the same time, the points brought by all this are also extremely amazing!

As long as you can quickly and effectively form a "wall", you have a chance to win!

Harry clenched his fists.

Then the game officially begins.

This time, no one of the group was the first to ask the question, but they were watching each other, and they made eye contact.

In the end, the three bad eyes focused on the person with the first score.

He also realized that he might be targeted, but at this moment, he suddenly looked at Harry, "What shape is your thing?"

Harry didn't expect that he would be the first to be questioned, and when the other two looked at him, he realized that he might be in some trouble.

He glanced at the card in his hand, which read baseball.

Yes, in his life.

He was silent for a while, "Round."

The corner of the questioner's mouth twitched slightly, "It looks like a ball..."

Harry cursed in his heart, and although his expression was well managed, some people saw some panic in his eyes.

Actually picking baseball...is not a wrong choice because it has a lot of confusion, it has a lot in common with many things.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would be the first to be asked, and the question was so tricky that the other party even added some details - it should be a ball!

People can be stupid sometimes, they trust their eyes and ears, that's why politicians and capitalists always shine.

They always have a way to fool people's eyes and ears, but people won't believe it's fake until the last minute.

When someone asked a question so close to an answer, the team of Harry and the other two who made eye contact was suddenly broken up.

Before he had time to ask questions, someone "fired" at him again.

"I want to ask player No. 1, is the area of ​​the field to use it large?"

Harry was the champion in January, so was the No. 1 player.

Another very fatal problem. Everyone actually knows that the area of ​​the baseball field is very large, but the only thing that is fortunate is that in addition to baseball, there are also large stadiums for concentrated sports.

This time, without waiting for the third person to ask questions, Harry directly attacked the fourth player, the player who asked the question at the beginning.

"I want to ask contestant No. 4, is the thing above the answer in your hand food?"

Contestant No. 4's expression management is in place, without much hesitation, he nodded, "Yes, it is food."

There was a smile on Harry's face. When the fourth player interfered with him just now, the host didn't say anything, which means that talking nonsense is allowed.

He said to "himself" as if he were asking himself, "At least I have to ask what the color of that thing is..."

Player No. 3, who had been silent for a while, was stunned for a moment. He looked at Harry, and Harry looked at him.

Sometimes people's eyes are very strange. What you see is a pair of eyeballs, but you can feel the emotions expressed by the other party, even the language, from the brilliance in the eyes of the other party.

Player No. 3 understands what Harry means. Player No. 4 has the most points and has always performed the strongest. Instead of eliminating Harry first, it is better to eliminate No. 4 first according to their original plan.

Contestant No. 3 thought for a while and asked, "Is it an animal?"

Instead of asking about color, he asked a more intuitive question.

If it's not animals, it must be fruits and vegetables, and then through color, it can basically be locked.

Player No. 4's eyelids trembled involuntarily, as if his attention had returned to him, which was not a good sign.

He nodded, "Yes, it's an animal..."

In the first round, all questions are asked.
