Chapter 123: Three people form an alliance and launch an unconventional attack.
Stephen Chow lowered his head, his voice becoming even softer.
"Everyone wants to trick people into giving away cloth."
"Everyone should keep a stone as a safety net."
"That stone represents the majority."
He paused for two seconds.
"Those who produce the cloth are actually a minority."
Quiet.
Absolute silence.
Chen He felt goosebumps erupt all the way from his arms to the back of his neck.
Deng Chao swallowed hard.
"Stephen Chow... what's wrong with your brain..."
Stephen Chow didn't respond.
But the corner of his mouth curved slightly.
It's very shallow.
Chen He came to his senses.
He took a deep breath and clapped his hands together sharply.
"Stephen Chow, let's form an alliance!"
He lowered his voice, his eyes shining brightly.
"We three will play paper! Lockout!"
He pointed to himself, then to Deng Chao and Stephen Chow.
"I kept going outside to set off smoke bombs, telling everyone that I was also going for the stone as a safety net, making them think that the stone was the only reliable option."
"The more stones they throw, the more of a minority our cloth becomes."
"Buying stone, five gold coins!"
Deng Chao glanced at Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow nodded.
"Can."
Not a single word was said.
Chen He almost knelt down.
"Stephen Chow, from today onwards you are my brother."
Stephen Chow glanced at him.
"Need not."
It paused for a second.
"Just provide the fabric."
Deng Chao couldn't help but laugh.
Chen He turned around and rushed back into the crowd.
This time, his lines were completely different.
He first found Zheng Kai.
"Kai Kai, I've thought about it, releasing the cloth is too risky."
Zheng Kai looked suspicious.
"Didn't you just ask me to play the cloth?"
"I was testing you!"
Chen He patted his chest.
"Brother, let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, if you drop a stone as a safety net, you'll get three. It's not a bad deal."
Zheng Kai frowned.
Then Chen He went to see Baby again.
"Baby, don't play paper, play stone instead."
Baby tilted her head.
"But Bu can win."
"Everyone puts out cloth, so cloth becomes the majority, and you can't get a single piece."
Baby thought for a moment, bit her lip, and nodded.
"All right……"
Chen He turned around again.
He brainwashed everyone.
The core principle can be summarized in one sentence: secure your position by selling stones, and avoid taking risks.
ten minutes.
Arrived.
"Go back to your seat."
Chen Yang's voice came from ahead.
The ten people returned to their positions one after another.
The chair legs dragged on the carpet with a dull thud.
Chen He sat down and pressed his finger on the card on the table.
cloth.
His heart was pounding, but his expression remained as steady as a rock.
Deng Chao sat opposite him and nodded slightly.
Stephen Chow sat in the corner, one hand resting on the cards, his face expressionless.
Chow Yun-fat shook his folding fan twice and then closed it.
Andy Lau sat upright, his smile undiminished.
Shen Teng leaned back in his chair, two fingers gripping the edge of the cards, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.
Li Chen gripped the edge of the table with both hands, his knuckles turning white.
Wang Baoqiang's legs were shaking under the table.
Zheng Kai stared at his cards, his brow furrowed.
Baby gripped the corner of the card, her fingertips turning white.
No one spoke again.
"Place the chosen cards face down in the center of the table."
Chen Yang's voice wasn't loud, but it commanded the entire room.
"Once a move is made, there's no going back."
Ten hands simultaneously pushed the cards to the center of the table.
In the last second before pushing the cards, Chen He deliberately turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Zheng Kai.
That expression was subtle.
It's like saying, "Brother, don't blame me."
Zheng Kai saw it.
His expression changed.
But the cards have already been played.
It's too late to get it back.
Chen Yang glanced around the room.
Ten cards, face down, are placed face down in the center of the table in front of the ten people.
The warm yellow light shone on the black pattern, obscuring the front.
Only the sound of breathing remained in the room.
"three."
Deng Chao's fingers curled up.
"two."
Chen He's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
"one."
The entire audience held their breath.
"turn!"
Ten hands flip cards at the same time.
The red and white pattern unfolds under the light.
Chen Yang's gaze swept from left to right.
Chen He's gaze swept around frantically.
The next second, he saw the cards on the table clearly.
He suddenly jumped up from his chair.
The chair tipped backward with a loud thud, nearly hitting the cameraman behind it.
His mouth was open and he couldn't close it.
On the desktop.
Deng Chao—Bu.
Stephen Chow – Cloth.
Chen He – Cloth.
Three pieces of cloth, neatly arranged.
Then come the cards of the other seven people.
Li Chen – Stone.
Wang Baoqiang – Stone.
Zheng Kai – Stone.
baby—stone.
Shen Teng – Stone.
Andy Lau – Stone.
Chow Yun-fat – Stone.
Seven stones.
Three pieces of cloth.
The minority is cloth.
"We won!"
Chen He's voice cracked.
"I won!"
He suddenly turned to Stephen Chow, put his hands together, and bowed three times.
"Stephen Chow! You're a god! You're like my own grandfather!"
Stephen Chow pushed up his glasses.
He lowered his head and smiled.
He didn't say anything.
Deng slapped the table, laughing so hard he almost fell over.
"Hehe, that smoke bomb you used just now was absolutely brilliant!"
Zheng Kai's face turned ashen.
He stared at the stone tablet in front of him, then glanced at the cloth in front of Chen He.
Then he looked at Chen He.
"Chen He".
His voice was deliberate and clear, each word distinct.
"You want me to guarantee a minimum investment of stones?"
Chen He quickly shrank behind Deng Chao.
"Um... Kai Kai... this is called tactics."
"I don't believe you for a second!"
Wang Baoqiang also realized what was happening and slapped his thigh.
"I've been scammed again!"
Li Chen said something in a low voice.
"Me too."
Baby pouted and clutched her stone tablet.
"Brother He is lying..."
Instead of getting angry, Chow Yun-fat smiled across from him, unfolded his folding fan, and pointed at Chen He.
"This little cactus is something else."
He paused for a moment, then pointed the fan towards the corner.
"But the truly remarkable one is that one."
All eyes in the room turned to Stephen Chow.
Stephen Chow sat in the corner, his hands resting flat on the table.
Feeling everyone's gaze, he raised his eyelids slightly.
"Um?"
It paused for two seconds.
"What's wrong?"
Andy Lau smiled and shook his head.
"Sing-jai, when did you come to this realization?"
Stephen Chow thought about it.
"The first time he stood up and spoke."
He pointed at Chen He.
"I knew he was going to lie."
The entire room fell silent for a second.
Then laughter erupted.
Chen He's face turned bright red.
"Mr. Stephen Chow, can't you give me a little face?"
Stephen Chow glanced at him.
"Didn't I just give it to you?"
It paused for another second.
Five.
Chow Yun-fat laughed so hard he almost dropped his folding fan, and he slapped the table.
Chen Yang handed the three gold coins to Deng Chao, Chen He, and Xingye in turn.
"Bu wins the stone, and the three members of the minority each get five gold coins."
He updated the score on the whiteboard.
Deng Chao: 15 pieces.
Chen He: 15 pieces.
Stephen Chow: 15.
Shen Teng: 13 pieces.
Andy Lau: 13.
Li Chen, Wang Baoqiang, Zheng Kai, Baby, Chow Yun-fat: 10 pieces.
Chen He looked at the 15 gold coins in his hand and felt completely elated.
"The genius is back!"
He gave the entire audience two thumbs up.
"Who said I messed up in the last round?"
Zheng Kai said coldly.
"You said it yourself."
"That's a tactical show of weakness!"
Deng Chao smiled and shook his head, then turned to Chen Yang.
"Director Chen, what are the rules for the third round?"
Chen Yang put away his marker and turned around.
The smile wasn't deep.
But everyone saw what flashed in his eyes.
"The third round?"
He glanced at the ten people.
"The game has been upgraded again."
