Chapter 514: Jumo Island (Twenty)
Five swift shadows climbed up the slope along the stone road. In less than a minute, they had run nearly 300 meters and reached the top of the small slope.
Standing here and looking forward, you can see a gray wasteland.
Above the wasteland stands a group of conical spires. Those spires are densely gathered in one place and arranged very neatly, like a bundle of bamboo shoots tied together.
"That pile of things is the roof of the Temple of Faith." Feng Bujue explained, "90% of this building is buried underground. We have to find an entrance as soon as possible." As he spoke, he pointed to the front, "If we can't find it, use force to open the gap."
"Well, there is no time to lose, go ahead." Hong Hu continued.
"When we get there, we will split up and look for it." Uncle Fei Chai also responded.
The five people exchanged a few words and then moved forward again. This time they went down the slope and rushed faster. A few hundred meters away in a blink of an eye. But when they came to the side of the pile of spires, they unexpectedly found that... the entrance was very easy to find. On each spire, there is a movable door (skylight), and its outline can be seen as long as you get close.
＋＋"Just enter one?" Atobe looked at his teammates with an inquiring look.
"At this point, there is no time to choose one by one..." Feng Bujue said, and he had walked to the spire closest to him and opened the movable door on it, "I'll go down first. If there is any trap, I can also use my air-staying ability to avoid it."
Of course, Brother Jue will not go down just like that...
While he said this, he picked up a stone and threw it into the entrance.
Snap——
The sound of the stone falling to the ground quickly returned, it seems that the space inside is not very deep.
"Oh? It doesn't seem to be a design that goes all the way through..." Feng Bujue said while taking out the [Compound Anti-Gravity Catapult].
He skillfully turned on the searchlight and shone it into the door. The four teammates also came to his side and looked inside...
The five people directly saw the walls and ground inside the building with the light of the catapult.
"What is this? Attic?" Tianma Xingkong asked.
"Who knows..." Honghu said, "Anyway, it's a good thing for us. At least we don't have to worry about falling to death."
While they were talking, Feng Bujue took half a step forward. He pushed with one hand and jumped into the entrance.
Two seconds later, Jue Ge suddenly landed and stood steadily in the space inside the temple. The system prompt rang in his ears: [Current task completed].
At this moment, Feng Bujue's first reaction was not to check the task bar, but to use the light to sweep around and search for traps and monsters.
After confirming that there was no danger around, he immediately looked up and shouted: "Get down quickly!"
As soon as the shouts came together. The four people above heard the news and moved. They jumped into the entrance one after another and fell down one after another.
In the end, the five people touched the ground safely and heard the system prompts one after another.
At this moment, there are still forty seconds left before the mission deadline...
"Huh... If we hadn't taken a shortcut, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out in the first main mission, right?" Ji Bu looked at the unchecked mission in the game menu and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That may not be the case." said Uncle Wastewood. "If we took a detour... maybe we wouldn't have encountered the Hand of Rubbing."
"Oh! By the way..." Ji Bu's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Feng Bujue and said, "Master Feng, can you explain now... the game between you and the Hand of Rubbing?"
"Ah... Actually... It's quite simple." Feng Bujue was still using the searchlight on the catapult to scan around while replying. He really didn't waste any time.
"Don't keep me in suspense." said Hong Hu, "The eagerness to show off on your face has already betrayed you."
"Hehe... Okay, okay..." Feng Bujue smiled and replied, "But I'd better start from the beginning..."
The next few minutes. Brother Jue recounted his glorious deeds of venturing into the swamp alone, fighting Fuling, saving Mei heroically, and obtaining intelligence, needless to say, he exaggerated...
Anyway, after this description. Finally, he talked about the part of him playing rock-paper-scissors with the hand of rubbing...
"After chatting with that idiot [beep——] for three or five sentences, I saw through it." Feng Bujue began to explain with a boastful tone and strong words (dirty words), "First of all, the rock-paper-scissors project itself is very suspicious... This is not chess or go, which relies purely on technology to win; nor is it card military chess, where luck and technology are equally important... This is fucking rock-paper-scissors! The name itself has the word "guess"! The luck factor must account for more than 70%, right?" He turned around and walked a few steps, "The opponent proposed to use the rule of five games and three wins to play rock-paper-scissors in a situation of one against four... This behavior itself is as if saying 'I have Special rock-paper-scissors skills'."
"Alas... I thought of this too." Hong Hu sighed, "What a pity... At that time, I always thought it would play tricks on the rules or tactics, but I didn't expect... it relied on some hidden ability."
"At first I thought so too, but to be on the safe side, I asked the Hand of Rubbing a question." Feng Bujue continued, "I asked it... 'Did the four of them compete with you one by one? '" He smiled, "And it proudly admitted it... From that moment on, I was sure that the Hand of Rubbing must be cheating with some kind of 'ability'."
"Huh?" Ji Bu heard this and his mind was a little out of sync, "Hey hey... The gap between the question and the conclusion is too big..."
"Hmm... I can understand what he means." Uncle Good-for-nothing continued, "The steps of Crazy Brother's reasoning should be like this... Since the four of us are fighting one by one, the order of appearance will naturally be first and last. No problem. If something unexpected happens, Honghu, who is good at analysis, will definitely be arranged to appear at the end, and with Honghu’s resourcefulness, after watching three full duels, there is no reason why he can’t see through the tricks of the hand of rubbing, unless..."
Honghu took over and said: "Unless the opponent does not rely on rules or tactical means to win."
Atobu also understood at this time and continued: "So... the conclusion is that the rubbing hand has some kind of ability that can win in guessing games?"
"Hahaha..." Feng Bujue clapped his hands and applauded, "Very good, as the saying goes, three cobblers can rival Zhuge Liang."
"You are a bit stinky and shameless..." Honghu replied.
"That's right, I really can't compare to the Prime Minister's character." Feng Bujue nodded solemnly.
"The implication...can you compare in terms of wisdom?" Atobe said with the corner of his mouth twitching.
Brother Jue ignored the other party's complaints and brought the topic back on track. He continued: "In short, now that it has been confirmed that the rubbing hand uses the 'ability' to guess the punch, then things will be easier to handle. Because I also have the ability to predict the opponent's actions instantly."
What Feng Bujue was talking about at this time was of course his "zero-day calculus".
"Actually, what I really care about is not the guessing game itself...but the setting of the 'guessing field'." Feng Bujue said, "You have also noticed, right? In that field, our combat ability has been greatly suppressed, almost It has become a state no different from ordinary people.”
"Yes." Tianma Xingkong continued, "Otherwise, I would have killed that big hand with the Meteor Fist, and guess what kind of punch it is."
"Yes, that area is the most terrifying." Feng Bujue said, "There are so many powerful players on this Demonic Island. As a guard, you naturally have to have the means to suppress those prisoners. Obviously... relying on Tuo The strength of the Hand of Seal itself is far from enough. If I guess correctly, the four guards, including the Hand of Seal, are not using their own power, but some kind of special power that has been 'given'. Ability." He paused and his eyes changed slightly, "After previous tests... I am completely sure of this hypothesis."
"Test? What test?" Atobe asked.
Feng Bujue replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "It was the final showdown between me and the Hand of Rubbing."
As soon as this statement came out. Honghu, who was standing nearby, gasped...
Only those who follow Brother Jue's thoughts can realize how terrifying this guy is...
Ten minutes ago, when everyone thought that Feng Bujue's "killing everyone" behavior was an intermittent secondary attack, he himself knew very well... that it was just a crazy show. Behind the show. It is still rational judgment and reasonable action.
"Judging from the results, the 'absolute rules' in the field of guessing can't be resisted by the hand of rubbing." Feng Bujue continued, "This proves that this field is not its own strength."
"Oh... no wonder the hand of rubbing behaved so strangely in the end." Atobe continued, "It turns out that it knew that it was losing, but was unable to end the game. That's why it behaved like that."
"Well, that's right..." Feng Bujue continued, "According to my observation, there are four absolute rules in the field of guessing." He raised his right hand, stretched out four fingers and said, "First, before the winner is determined, No one can leave the field; secondly, the field will be lifted only if the winner of the previous round agrees to terminate the competition; thirdly, the challenger...that is, us...will decide when each round starts; thirdly, Fourth, the punishments and rewards for the winning and losing sides can be discussed in advance, and the default punishment... is to be stretched to the ground and turned into a silhouette. "
Brother Jue put down his hand when he said this: "The above four are relatively fair and absolute rules that even the hand of rubbing cannot defy. Of course, as the initiator of the field of guessing, there are indeed some special rules that are more beneficial to it. Rules, such as... After entering the field, the combat strength of the challenger will be limited, forcing him to participate in guessing. "
"I still don't understand." Tianma Xingkong suddenly interjected, "After talking for a long time, how did you defeat him?" He asked with his eyes widened, "He can predict what you will do, and you can also predict him. No matter what, wouldn’t the conditions be the same?”
"Yes..." Atobe also said, "This is the core issue, right?"
"Huh?" Feng Bujue replied weakly, "What... this is the simplest part." He tilted his head and said, "After my testing, the ability of the rubbing hand is only... The moment before you punch, you can understand the thoughts in your mind." He snorted, "Hmph... Theoretically, there are at least three ways to win, and in the previous game, I used one of them. Two kinds.”
"You're kidding..." Uncle Good-for-nothing took off his sunglasses and said with a surprised look on his face.
"Let's talk about the one with the lowest success rate first." Feng Bujue continued unhurriedly, "That is...at the moment of guessing, he doesn't think about anything, his mind remains blank, and he instinctively makes a gesture."
"Tch~ What did I think you were going to say? Doesn't this count?" Atobe replied.
"In fact, this is very difficult." Feng Bujue said, "If you don't believe it, you can try it... most people will throw their hands like chicken claws, and then they will be counted as cloth."
"Well... this method can indeed block the power of the Hand of Rubbing." Hong Hu continued, "However, it is almost impossible to use the 'Scissors' gesture instinctively. This is an obvious weakness."
"That's right. In two rounds at most, the opponent will see through this loophole and continue to use 'Paper' to deal with it." Feng Bujue said, "Besides, even the first two rounds... it was purely a matter of luck. So... I didn't use this method."
Brother Jue paused for a few seconds, licked his lips, and then said: "Then... let's talk about the second method. There is not much to say about this. It is just using my ability to fight against the opponent's ability." He scratched his head, "I won't explain my ability in detail. You just need to know that my methods are countless times superior to the Hand of Rubbing..."
He was telling the truth. The ability of the Hand of Rubbing, only It is just that you can see the thoughts flashing in the opponent's mind in the moment before the game of rock-paper-scissors; while zero-time calculation can calculate everything...
"Alas... I have to say that its ability is too slow, its reaction is too slow, and its movements are as slow as stillness..." Feng Bujue sighed, "So... in the first few rounds, I relied on my own ability to win the Hand of Rubbing, and analyzed the opponent's ability in the process."
"Okay, don't be complacent there." Hong Hu said, "What about the third method? That has nothing to do with your ability, right?"
"Of course, this is not a single-player scenario. How could the system design a guard that only I can solve?" Feng Bujue smiled and continued, "There is indeed another method that has nothing to do with any ability. Everyone can use it to defeat the Hand of Rubbing, that is..."
The four people who were listening all showed curiosity.
"Cognitive distortion." Feng Bujue said a strange word.
"What the hell is this?" Tianma Xingkong's face was full of "unclear but powerful".
"Like this..." Feng Bujue said, clenching his fist and raising his hand, "Rock!" When he said this, he swung his hand out, but his gesture was scissors.
"Uh..." Atobe looked at it for two seconds, "Can this really work? Isn't this just deceiving yourself?"
"If you deceive yourself, you will fail... because you will still think of scissors in your mind." Feng Bujue said, "But cognitive distortion is different. What I think of is rock in my mind, but what I make with my hands is scissors. This technique requires overturning the deep-rooted ideas in my brain in a short period of time. It is better to say 'believe' than 'cheating'. It is indeed a bit complicated to explain... However, if you are proficient, you can do it like this..." He said, and raised his hand again, "Rock, scissors, paper, rock, scissors, paper..." He recited it at a high speed, and his hands were changing with it, but the gestures he made were different from the hand shapes he recited. When he said rock, his hands made scissors, when he said scissors, he made paper, when he said paper, he made rock...
"You think everyone can use this [beep——]?" Atobe complained, "Are you the only one who can use it?"
"No, you can do it, but it takes time." Feng Bujue spread his hands, "In fact, the system has given us this time... Don't forget, the interval between each round of rock-paper-scissors is determined by the player." He paused, and then said, "Take a step back, even if you really can't practice it well, it doesn't matter, because the basic behavior pattern of the rubbing hand remains unchanged. As long as you think at the moment of punching, it will definitely make a corresponding gesture to suppress you. So... As long as you control the time well and try not to make mistakes, you can win."
At this point, Feng Bujue has explained it almost.
The system prompt seemed to be waiting for them to finish talking, and it didn't sound until this moment: [Main quest has been updated]
In the task bar, a new main line has appeared: [Reach the altar at the bottom of the Temple of Faith within three hours. Players who fail to arrive within the time limit will be eliminated] (To be continued...)
