Logic Isn't Needed Here

"Let's play a game together, Dr. Ruan Mei." Kafka's tone was gentle and slow, her eyes smiling as she looked at Ruan Mei, who had turned around stiffly. "Isn't it fun?"

"Stellaron Hunters..."

"Hey, don't be so forceful." Yelan clapped her hands, as if trying to stop Kafka —but Kafka's Words of Power was still in effect.

"If Miss Ruan Mei doesn't want to play, we can go with the majority, Liu Bai, how about you call everyone over?"

"..."

What are you talking about?!

It's still 5 to 1... no, 4 to 2. If other teams come, it might be n to 2.

"Liu Bai, don't you ever want to strip a girl naked?" Yelan's teasing words were somewhat hurtful.

"I oppose such immoral games in principle."

"Yes, yes, in principle, our chess master Liu Bai is truly amazing." Ye Lan clapped her hands in a fake manner, "Hey, Ye Lan, why don't you take a step forward first?"

"Then I'm leaving."

"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant just now."

Stop joking, this game can't be played if Liu Bai leaves.

Yelan wasn't sure who among them would help her hold Liu Bai down—similarly, Liu Bai wasn't sure who would suddenly hold him down.

Although I really want to play.

"By the way, what happens if you lose after taking off all your clothes?" Ying asked, raising her hand.

"Good question!"

Yelan opened the glass cover of the wine cabinet.

"Those who have nowhere left to take off their clothes must drink, chugging straight from the bottle, and cheating with their abilities is not allowed."

That is, to relieve the effects of drunkenness.

"And you have to add this when you drink it!"

Yelan took out a strip of small pills that gave off a bad feeling just by looking at them.

"Honkai Inhibitor Pills!"

"Oh... Honkai Inhibitor Pills plus strong liquor... does that guarantee everyone will get drunk?" Raiden Makoto seems to really like this game.

Ying simply looked impatient.

Everyone took their seats in turn, while Kafka still did not release her control over Ruan Mei's Words of Power.

"Do you need me to help you play, Dr. Ruan Mei?"

"...unnecessary."

Ruan Mei practically squeezed those three words out from between her teeth.

Chapter 248 Logic Is Not Required Here

Before the game started, Yelan asked Liu Bai for some food to reduce the swelling—although she looked presentable now, for a woman with her beloved by her side, it would be best to fully recover.

"... By the way, did no one here drink on an empty stomach?"

"It's fine even if I'm on an empty stomach." Yelan waved her hand. Just then, Yelan's bracelet suddenly rang.

"Hmm? Who?" Yelan glanced at the bracelet. "Ningguang?"

Yelan connected to the communication.

"Ningguang, is something urgent again?"

"It's nothing urgent, Yelan, you should—"

Hang up.

"Don't take up my vacation time unless it's urgent!" Yelan slapped the bracelet angrily and shut it down.

The fact that Yelan could still have time off under these circumstances was, of course, thanks to the beating she received earlier.

After all, Ningguang wasn't some kind of demon, Yelan, as an intelligence agent, didn't have much to do at this time. After thinking it over, Ningguang gave him a leave of absence.

However, despite taking pictures, Yelan didn't throw away the bracelet—according to the rules, it was considered a piece of clothing.

When playing games, of course you should strive to win.

—Although there are no rules for winning or losing, it is obvious that the one who drinks everyone else under the table wins.

The last person still awake has the right to dispose of everyone.

"... Can you please stop looking at me with that sinister gaze?"

At this moment, Liu Bai also took out the snacks that Xiao Ai had given him earlier, as well as the snacks that he already had at home to go with the wine, from the pot.

Yes, many of the older folks like Inazuma have a habit of having a little drink.

So the pot is always stocked with things like pickled vegetables and edamame.

"Aha ~ What are you talking about?" Yelan chuckled. "Alright, everyone, look here~ There are two very, very, very ordinary dice!"

Yelan opened the dice cup, allowing everyone to see the two dice inside.

"Hmm..." Ying reached out and played with it for a moment, weighed it in her hand, put it back in its original position, and nodded.

The dice are fine.

"I seriously doubt that only the real and the imagined can play this game seriously."

Liu Bai complained from the bottom of his heart.

Kafka and Yelan are obviously cheaters.

As for Ruan Mei... she simply didn't want to play.

"To be honest, I'm not really comfortable with this kind of scene without Kitsune Saiguu." Shin thought for a moment, "Should I call Kitsune Saiguu and Chiyo over too?"

"... No, it's already pretty good."

Liu Bai shook his head; the contrast was quite stark at this moment...

"In that case, I'd like to call you Ying too." Kafka was clearly someone who loved watching the drama unfold.

"If we add any more, I won't have enough wine to drink," Yelan said, echoing Liu Bai's objection.

Of course, not having enough alcohol was just an excuse; the main reason was that even with more people, Yelan wasn't confident she could overturn the car.

"Alright, let's use these people then."

Kafka didn't insist much.

"Shall we start with the first round?"

"Okay, everyone shakes the dice once, starting with me, is that alright? Also, the person shaking the dice can't guess."

Yelan glanced at Ruan Mei body was somewhat stiff.

Although she teased the man a bit to get him to stay, her first thought upon seeing him was that he could help as a "beautiful dealer." However, Kafka simply made him sit down and play.

There was no other way but for everyone to take turns rolling the dice.

But it's not a big deal, it just slows down the game progress a little.

Everyone said it was no problem.

Yelan immediately began to skillfully shake the dice.

No wonder he's a seasoned veteran at quitting gambling; even the way he shakes the dice has that cool, Hong Kong movie flair.

... Liu Bai himself never imagined that he would come into contact with "gambling" in this way one day.

With a bang, the dice cup was slammed onto the table.

"Come on, place your bet now!"

"Single." Bai pondered for a moment and decided to go all the way down this path.

After all, this game only has two possible outcomes: single or double. There is no skill involved; it's just a matter of luck. Of course, cheating doesn't count.

"Me and the BOSS," Kafka smiled.

Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei both chose double.

"Would you like me to make the decision for you, Dr. Ruan Mei?" Kafka smiled as she looked at Ruan Mei, whose body was stiff and who could only move her eyes and mouth.

"... I'll do it myself."

Ruan Mei looked very displeased, but she also knew very well that continuing to express her dissatisfaction at this time would be useless.

Odd... or even?

Ruan Mei fell into deep thought—as a genius, she knew very well that guessing odd or even required no skill whatsoever.

But... since it concerns her innocence, even knowing that knowledge is of no use in the current situation, Ruan Mei still needs to think things through carefully.

—Just like those ordinary people who seriously analyze the company's lottery results.

Ruan Mei began to observe Yelan's expressions and movements.

(Liu Bai had previously mentioned that Yelan would cheat...)

Liu Bai is probably Yelan's real target, so... Yelan will probably make Liu Bai lose?

No, this is clearly not a scheme solely targeting Liu Bai.

Shadow and True should be enjoying the game.

Kafka and Yelan's objective should be clearly Liu Bai.

Therefore... the women present were also rivals to each other.

Shadow and True want to win, while Kafka and Yelan also aim to defeat Liu Bai.

And for himself... he had to protect his clothes.

Liu Bai's purpose is more casual; he doesn't care whether he wins or loses... but if Liu Bai wins, he probably won't do anything to these people.

So Liu Bai should be the first one to be eliminated?

No... But although Liu Bai has a lot of clothes, he doesn't have any accessories, so he's the one most likely to be discarded.

If I were Yelan... would I attack Liu Bai in the first round?

No, it can't be!

Ruan Mei felt she had grasped a key point.

Because Liu Bai the fewest clothes, he will naturally experience both wins and losses, and he will be the first to enter the "elimination period" where he needs to drink.

There are now six people: Liu Bai, Yelan, Kafka, Ying, Zhen, and himself.

This time, Yelan is the host, so there are five people left.

Although Liu Bai has been excluded from the game theory logic, he still holds a certain weight in Yelan's heart.

"Hey, hurry up!" Yelan couldn't help but urge.

"... Quiet down, let me think about it some more."

Furthermore, since Yelan would cheat, it was simply assumed that the result of the dice roll would be most advantageous for Yelan.

Assuming everyone except Liu Bai has the same weight...

If you choose odd, then the odds to evens ratio can be considered as 2.5 to 2.

If you choose even, then the odds-evens ratio is 1.5 to 3.

... Wait a minute, isn't this a case of taking your clothes off no matter what you choose?!

Ruan Mei, who was using her intelligence for the first time in such a garbage place, finally realized that something was wrong.

Even the bet was too clever.

With four regular weights and one special weight, assuming the dice rollr can manipulate the numbers, as long as someone before you follows Liu Bai's choice, the last bettor has no chance of winning.

No, if the outcome is controllable, and everyone uses their brains, her chances of winning as the last one are simply non-existent.

Liu Bai's weight is too special. If everyone is rational, as long as two people follow Liu Bai's choice, Liu Bai's side is bound to lose.
