TISHW 49




Chpater 49 Team building camp 9

"God Yu, do you want to form an alliance with us?" Zhou Feifei suddenly spoke out.

Because they were indoors, the seven of them sat together on cushions and could hear each other's words. Zhou Feifei was always paying attention to Qin Shiyu's movements, so when she heard him speak, she said, "How to form?" "

Shu Hua said quickly, "It hasn't been decided yet."

Although she didn’t know how Jiang Yu would form an alliance, someone as strong as Qin Shiyu couldn’t go to her competitors.

Jiang Yu's silence was regarded as acquiescing to Shu Hua's statement. Although she didn’t want to have too much to do with Qin Shiyu and wouldn’t be as enthusiastic as Zhao Shunong to fight for him, she knew there was a problem with Zhou Feifei. She wouldn’t sit back and ignore it.

Qin Shiyu looked at Jiang Yu's expression. He suddenly drawlingly supported his chin and said with a smile, "En, listen to Jiang Yu."

Jiang Yu couldn't resist glaring at him. What does he mean by listening to her? If he didn’t this if he wasn't just joining in the fun?

The barrage had already started shipping again:

【Ahhhhh, What's with God Yu? It feel like he’s teasing Jiang Yu all the time. 】

【Salary submission! Listen to you! Please tell me what this is if it isn't dating? 】

Zhou Feifei pursed her lips and said with a smile, "This is the first time I heard that an alliance can be formed for situation puzzles. How can we form an alliance?"

Ye Yuanyu can think of some, "Grouped together to buy tips?"

"Yes," Jiang Yu nodded, "Under the premise that we work independently, there will be a great advantage in using points to redeem tips. It is cost-effective to spend 2 points to earn 3 points."

"But there is one problem. There are a total of 4 tips in each round. In order to ensure that each round is profitable, everyone can only buy 2 tips at most. In other words, at least two people will get hints in each round. If one of them gets the hint wins, the other person who gets the hint will lose 2 points. Of course, if unlucky, both people may lose."

Ye Yuanyu nodded, "In an alliance, share risks equally."

"Yes," Jiang Yu said, "For example, if three people form an alliance and buy 2 tips each time, they will get one point in each round. If they win three rounds, each person can profit at least one point."

Ye Yuanyu said, "If they lose, it’s three people losing 2 points. It is more cost-effective for three people to lose 2 points than for one person to lose 2 points."

"There is another problem," Jiang Yu said, "If one person, it will be difficult to get another chance after losing once." 

She looked at Xiang Chen, "Xiang Chen only has 2 points, right?"

When settling the bill on the ship, Xiang Chen's points were 14 points. After that, he copied 5 copybooks and got 5 points. However, he spent 15 points to stay in a double room and 2 points for food. So he had 2 points left.

"Take Xiang Chen as an example. Once he buys 2 tips but fails in the end, he’ll lose these 2 points. He will have no chance to buy more tips. Naturally he will have no chance to win again. Then in the whole round, he will be equivalent to losing money. 2 points."

Everyone began to ponder. Their points weren’t much better than Xiang Chen's. They only got two or three pitiful points. The highest number was Ye Yuanyu, who had only four. No one could afford to lose them.

Zhou Feifei turned to Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen, "Then we’ll form an alliance?" 

Then she looked at Qin Shiyu, "God Yu, are you coming to our side?"

Jiang Yu spoke, "The purpose of forming an alliance is to share risks and increase returns. If 3 people win three rounds, each of us can earn 1 point, but if 4 people win 3 rounds, how will you divide it?"

  The group:……

This was indeed a problem. Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu were stronger. If they get the key hints, their advantages could be greatly weakened. It was difficult for Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu to ensure that they could win every round. Otherwise Jiang Yu only needed to earn points by buying tips by herself. Even if she earns 1 point each time, she can earn 6 points in 6 rounds.

【Hahaha, I never expected that one day our God Yu would become redundant. 】

【Which group he goes to is which group who’s being dragged down? 】

【Haha, God Yu can never be redundant, but there will definitely be a redundant person. 】

Zhou Feifei obviously realized this. Qin Shiyu would definitely not be abandoned. She couldn't help but look at Shu Hua. Shu Hua was the one with the worst reasoning ability among them. She was the one who should be abandoned the most. However, Jiang Yu obviously wanted to keep her. Then she, who wasn't very familiar with them, was very likely to...

She suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "God Yu and I are in one team. Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen are in one team." 

She said, "Anyway, it’s just giving out 2 points to buy hints. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to group up in twos? As long as we win two rounds, each person can get 1 point.”

Jiang Yu said, "Then can you be sure that you can get the tips every time? There are 4 tips in total. To be safe, each group will definitely buy 2. In the end, only two groups can get the tips. If you are unlucky, you will probably get 0 points for 6 rounds, or each person will lose 1-2 points.”

【My head hurts from listening to all this. I never expected that the most brain-burning part of situation puzzle is the alliance rules. 】

【I kind of suspect that Jiang Yu chose to form an alliance because she felt that she was too unlucky and is afraid that she wouldn’t get the chance to buy points every time. 】

【In other words, although the benefits of a 2-person group is greater, the risks are equally great. 】

"So it is most appropriate for us to divide into two groups as a whole." Jiang Yu said.

Ye Yuanyu pondered, "I almost got swept in by you. You only said that you can earn 1 point if you win a round. Why didn't you say that you will lose 2 points if you lose a round? 6 rounds! Unless you win all 6 rounds, each player will lose 1 point if win 3 rounds and play 3 rounds." 

Xiang Chen caught on, "That's right, even if one person wants to earn one point, he has to win 5 rounds and can only lose 1 round at most."

Jian Cang grimaced, "This is too difficult."

【The CPU is going to burn out. From this perspective, the benefits aren't big and the risks are higher. It’s worse than watching at the side. Although one can't get points, they won't lose points. 】

【Yeah, it’s better not to form an alliance. 】

【Then you guys don’t understand top students very well. Except for God Yu, who doesn’t care about victory or defeat, it’s unlikely that anyone else will give up voluntarily. It will be more tragic to fight alone. 】

【What to do? Heaven, it's so complicated. 】

Jiang Yu suddenly smiled, "So how about an alliance between the seven of us?"

【...situation puzzle's alliance is already outrageous enough. Now 7 people form an alliance. There are only 7 people playing in total. What alliance do you want to form? 】

【ROFL, this is the first time I heard about an alliance as a whole group in an individual battle. 】

【Could it be that after winning in six rounds, everyone will share the points equally? 】

Shu Hua asked for the audience, "Seven people form an alliance? How?"

Jiang Yu said, "We don't buy tips at all."

Jian Cang clapped his hands, "Ah! In this way, no matter who wins, we will win six rounds. In the end, we will win 18 points and split between 7 people. Each person will get nearly 3 points!"

Shu Hua said, "That's right. We are team building. Of course we must unite to fight against the program team and not let them cheat us!"

Ye Yuanyu glanced at her, "Keep your voice down, the director will hear it."

【Hahahaha, so Elder Sister Yu has gone full circle. Is she going to butt head with the program team? 】

【That’s right. There are 6 rounds left. 4 points in each round, so a total of 24 points. The program team can't make any money now. 】

【Program team: I am really lucky to have you. 】

Jiang Yu laughed, "Of course we can't have seven people together. If there's no competitive feel. What if this session gets canceled? The 18 points will be gone. So we have to divide the camp."

【So now they are doing it for the integration of the program team. 】

【As expected, once Jiang Yu arrived, it became a battle of wits between the investigators and the program team. 】

【Program team: It’s so difficult for me. 】

Ye Yuanyu started to calculate, "It's best to divide into two camps, so that everyone can get 3 points if they win one round. As long as we win 2 rounds, we can get 1.5 points even in the 4-person group. Even if the other group loses, the worst result is no points and no loss, the benefits and risks are both appropriate.”

Xiang Chen said, "Then let's divide it into a group of three and a group of four."

【So now it’s a question of how to form an alliance. The group of four will suffer some losses. 】

【Not necessarily, there is strength in numbers. Although Jiang Yu has the overall advantage, it is impossible to guess right every time. If God Yu is in a four-person group, it was very possible to win two more rounds. 】

Jiang Yu, Shu Hua, and Jian Cang have obviously been determined to be in a group. The only variable was Qin Shiyu. Zhou Feifei naturally didn’t want Qin Shiyu to be in a group with Jiang Yu and was worrying, "If God Yu is in the same group with them, we no chance of winning at all?”

She suggested, "Since it is for mutual benefit and win-win for all, the camps should be balanced."

Jiang Yu looked at Qin Shiyu and was pondering whether to go that side by herself, when she saw Qin Shiyu said with an expression of realization, "I understand, I'll go there."

Jiang Yu looked confused. She didn't say anything. What did he understand?

However, Qin Shiyu had decided to form an alliance with the opponent. The audience was confused:

【What does God Yu mean? Haven’t they reached some kind of cooperation in private? 】

【He really looks like an undercover agent sent by Jiang Yu and her group. 】

【Haha, forming alliances in situation puzzles is already outrageous enough. Now undercover agents? 】

【Look at what you’re saying. Alliances are already formed for situation puzzles, so it’s possible to have an undercover agent? 】

Ye Yuanyu and the others naturally heard what Qin Shiyu said. Xiang Chen smiled, "Are you two plotting something?"

Qin Shiyu curved his eyes and smiled, "Guess?"

Ye Yuanyu's group became uneasy. Even Shu Hua and Jian Cang looked at Jiang Yu in unison.

Jiang Yu:……

Jiang Yu said expressionlessly, "I can't guess it."

Obviously no one believed it, not even the audience.

【Could it be that she want God Yu to spuddle around on the opposite side? Not only does he not earn points, but also get to share their points and drag them down? 】

【Hey, it's very possible. 】

But it soon proved that their guess was wrong. After the second round of reasoning began, Qin Shiyu went all out, confusing everyone:

The content of the second round of reasoning was: The boy got up and brushed his teeth as usual. Suddenly he was in pain, but he did not dare to say anything. Please deduce the complete story line.

As soon as the director finished giving the question, Qin Shiyu asked, "Does he have an oral injury?"

  "Yes."

"Is there something wrong with the toothbrush?"

  "No."

"Then there's something wrong with the toothpaste."

  "Yes."

"Is the toothpaste his own?"

  "No."

"Is he living with someone else?"

  "Yes."

He asked one question after another. Everyone was trying to get into the state and follow his train of thought, when they saw him raising his hand, "I have deduce the complete story line."

"The boy is someone who likes petty gains. When living with his roommate, he always steals his roommate's daily necessities, especially toothpaste. After his roommate discovered something was amiss, he directly mixed harmful items such as glass shards into the toothpaste in order to teach him a lesson. So the boy’s mouth got injured after brushing his teeth. But because the toothpaste wasn't his, he dare not say anything about it even though he knew there was something wrong with the toothpaste.”

Director: "The reasoning is correct."

【……】

【What just happened? 】

【Oh my god, he only asked 5 questions. It felt like there wasn’t a single useless question. 】

【God Yu’s mental IQ is GOAT! 】

Not to mention that the audience didn't catch on, even those present were all confused.

Shu Hua murmured, "I feel like I just finished listening to the question and it’s been solved?"

Jian Cang said, "Simply terrifying."

Zhou Feifei was very excited, "We won! God Yu, you are so awesome!!!"

She looked at Qin Shiyu and saw Qin Shiyu looking at Jiang Yu. She turned around and saw Jiang Yu looking directly at him. There seemed to be an undercurrent surging between the two of them and the atmosphere instantly became a little different.

【Very good, the smell of gunpowder is coming. Elder Sister Yu’s unwillingness to admit defeat cannot be held back. 】

【Yes, not even for CP. 】

【Hahaha, God Ye can't hold back either. 】

【Xiang Chen and Jian Cang are becoming serious! 】

【This is what makes it good to watch... Let’s fight! Let’s fight! 】

The audience didn't mind watching the drama. The parties involved were gearing up. Shu Hua clenched her fists, "Even if I can't win, I make trouble, no? Let's see which of you can resist my interference."

Everyone:...

Ye Yuanyu couldn't help but comment, "Is the interference to injury the enemy by a thousand by injurying yourself by a thousand?"

Shu Hua paused, lifted up the mat and sat directly between Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen. She snorted provocatively at the two of them, "Injury the enemy by a thousand by self injury of eight hundred."

Ye Yuanyu:......

Everyone laughed. It wasn’t until the director started to give the third round of question that everyone concentrated:

"The girl slowly woke up and found herself in a strange room. She took out her mobile phone and wanted to call for help, but when she saw the phone password unlock interface, she suddenly let out a scream. Please deduce the complete story line. "

Just after reading the question, Jiang Yu raised her hand and asked, "Does the phone belong to the girl?"

"Yes."

Qin Shiyu followed closely, "Is she the only one in the room?"

  "Yes."

Jiang Yu glanced at him and continued, "Was she kidnapped to the room?"

  "Yes."

Qin Shiyu: "Did she see something terrible through the reflection of the mobile phone screen?"

  "No."

  No?

Ye Yuanyu raised his hand, "Did something terrible happened to the girl?"

  "Yes."

Shu Hua raised her hand fiercely, "Did the girl scream when she found her finger was missing when she was about to enter the password?"

Everyone:...

Black line appeared on the director's face: "No."

Jian Cang couldn't stop laughing, "Shouldn't she find out when her fingers are missing when she picks up your phone?"

 It dawned on Shu Hua, "Oh right."

Xiang Chen tried his best to block this guy who was showing off and continued to ask, "Did she scream because she didn't unlock the password on her phone?"

  "Yes."

Ye Yuanyu was just about to ask a question when Shu Hua nearby said loudly, "When she was about to enter her mobile phone password, a grasshopper suddenly jumped up on the screen and she screamed in fright?"

  "……no."

The director looked at Ye Yuanyu who raised his hand.

Ye Yuanyu put down his hand without saying anything.

Shu Hua's eyes suddenly brightened, "Forgot what you wanted to ask?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Jian Cang laughed, "Elder Brother Ye, are you afraid of grasshoppers?"

"For a moment, the image of a grasshopper jumping on the screen of her mobile phone pop up and the mind goes blank."

Shu Hua was so proud that Ye Yuanyu stood up and moved to Xiang Chen's other side.

Jiang Yu laughed and shook her head. Zhou Feifei raised her hand and asked, "Did she break down and scream because she injured her hand and entered the wrong password on her phone, causing the phone to be completely locked?"

  "No."

Qin Shiyu asked, "Did the terrible things she encountered prevent her from unlocking the code?"

  "Yes."

Before the director finished speaking, Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu raised their hands almost at the same time.

The director looked at the playback, "Jiang Yu, please reason."

Jiang Yu said, "The girl was kidnapped. When she woke up, she touched her mobile phone and wanted to call for help. She set it to face recognition to unlock. After repeated attempts without success, it automatically jumped to manual input mode. The girl realized something was wrong and thought it was because her hair was covering her face. She raised her hand to touch her hair and sort her hair before trying again. However, she accidentally touched her face and discovered that there were wounds on her face. She had been disfigured. That’s why she let out a miserable scream."

"The reasoning is correct!"

Jian Cang was shocked, "This works?!"

Xiang Chen smiled bitterly, "Thinking process is too fast."

【I suspect that if the two of them played it alone, we wouldn't be able to understand it from beginning to end. 】

【The first round took four to five minutes, the second round took less than a minute. Even with Shu Hua's gags, this round only lasted a little more than a minute. 】

【It feels like they will be done playing soon. 】

【Do they feel they have too few points and want to hurry up and finish it so they can earn points in the next round? ],

Perhaps the audience's guess was on point. Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu were evenly matched in the next four rounds. Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen worked hard to extract information. The final result was that Qin Shiyu won one round, Ye Yuanyu won, Jiang Yu won the first round, and Shu Hua won one round with her lucky guess.

According to the alliance camp, each camp won 3 rounds and each got 9 points. Jiang Yu, Shu Hua and Jian Cang each got 3 points, Ye Yuanyu, Xiang Chen and Zhou Feifei each got 2 points, while Qin Shiyu was awarded 3 points.

This was Zhou Feifei's suggestion. Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen had no objections. After all, Qin Shiyu had made great contributions. Zhou Feifei handed the points to Qin Shiyu, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with God Yu."

While the director asked them to move to the next game session, Qin Shiyu secretly handed the points to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu looked wary, "Why are you giving it to me?"

Qin Shiyu grinningly replied, "I earned their 3 points."

Jiang Yu:……

She couldn't help but say, "If we are a team, we can win 5 rounds in total and each of us will earn nearly 4 points." Don't need him to earn 3 points back.

Qin Shiyu said, "That's different. You got it yourself? But now you can have 6 points."

Jiang Yu wasn’t going to be fooled by him, "Then you can get a share of nearly 4 points in our camp. If you give them all to me, I can get 8 points."

Qin Shiyu showed a meaningful expression. It dawned on Jiang Yu that she had been tricked by him again. As expected, she heard him say, "So you have been targeting my points."

Jiang Yu opened the small bag expressionlessly, trying to show her innocence with practical actions.

Qin Shiyu took the opportunity to stuff in 3 more points, "Didn't you say it depends on sincerity?"

"I give you points even when I’m in the hostile camp. Am I sincere enough?"

"So, the points I saved with you is 13, right?"

Jiang Yu:……

She stared at the points in her little bag.

On the ship, there were 31 people. 25 went to the room fee, 2 for the food, and 3 for the meat. However, Qin Shiyu stuffed another one later. Add the 6 earned from the game just now and Qin Shiyu’s 3 points, it totaled 14. And he said she had 13 of his points?

What about her points? Had she been carrying the points for him?

This man really has no good intentions.
