"Does this game cost money?"
"Yeah, it works out to about ten cents a round, but if the other person gets four points, you have to pay ten yuan outright."
"What a rip-off. They clearly don't want anyone getting four points. And the matching must be random, too, so we can't cheat."
"Right, but the three of us can discuss our moves together."
"Shanshan, what's your rating now?"
"...Zero. People keep tricking me, and I haven't won a single round yet. It's infuriating! Honey, you have to help me win. I've already lost a yuan. I want to win enough for my first top-up!"
Xiao Yu looked helpless. You're making me sound like some ruthless landlord who bullies you every day.
You even have to get your first game top-up this way?
"All right, I'll try."
With that, Xiao Yu carefully read through the rules again, then tapped to start matching.
There were five minutes of chat time before each vote.
Match found.
Judging by the avatar, it was a young woman.
Xiao Yu casually opened her profile to check her rating. Well, well. Twelve hundred points.
A high-ranked player.
"Jackpot! A professional liar right off the bat. You get fifty points per win, so she's won twenty-four rounds! Even at five yuan a round, she's made a hundred and twenty yuan! Impressive!" Zhao Yan said with a giggle.
While they were joking, the other player took the initiative to greet them. She was a girl with a soft, lovely voice.
"Hi, are you a girl?"
Zhao Yan said nothing and moved the phone toward Xiao Yu.
"I'm a guy."
"Wow, your voice sounds so nice!"
A cutesy little-girl voice, all sweetness and wheedling.
An ordinary homebody probably would have surrendered on the spot, then lost after a few words.
