Big Shot Bi plays the Joker card, No. 1 Big Shot Bi's Identity Token should also be the Joker card.
To be precise, it's the Joker card that has been assimilated by the Joker.
So now there are two Joker on the field.
No. 1, Big Shot Bi, is a Joker; No. 2, Zhang Mazi, is red; Number Three, Zhang Lei, is black; Number 4, Li Heung-kam, is red; No. 5, Little Stutterer, is red; and Number 6, Jiang Ya, is Joker -like.
In other words, the Identity Token currently displayed on the field are three red, one black, and two ugly.
"Number 6, are you sure all three cards are Joker?" No. 8, Chan Kwok-chung, asked, staring intently at Jiang Ya.
" No. 8, all three of my cards were indeed Joker. I know it's not very convincing, but that's the truth."
Chan Kwok-chung simply nodded, pondered for a while, and then said, "I don't believe you. The probability of drawing three Joker cards is too small."
"Sir, we're not playing poker. The probability of drawing red, black, and the Joker card is indeed different, but it's not that the Joker card has a lower probability of being drawn; quite the opposite."
"The probability of drawing the Joker card should be the highest."
"Impossible. There's only one Joker, so there can't be too many Joker cards." Chan Kwok-chung shook his head.
Seeing that everyone except for No. 9, No. 3, and No. 2 was nodding in agreement, Jiang Ya sneered disdainfully.
"Fewer people means fewer cards? What a bunch of idiots."
Seeing the displeased expressions on everyone's faces, Jiang Ya continued to Taunt, "Didn't you read the rules of the game? The Joker is already at a disadvantage, but even if the Joker wins, it's just a treasure chest."
"Is this fair to the Joker? To balance the win/loss probabilities between the Joker and other players, the Joker's cards must be the most numerous."
Chan Kwok-chung shook his head. "It's no use trying to argue anymore. I've watched all the game demo videos, and in those videos, the probability of drawing the Joker card is the lowest."
"As you said yourself, that was a demo video. Demo videos only demonstrate the rules of the game, not the odds of winning or losing..."
Just as Jiang Ya was about to say something, the game notification sounded again.
After all, it was only sixty seconds, which was too short a time for everyone to discuss for long.
[Round 4, Player 4 is the King. Please choose your Queen and wise minister. 60 seconds remaining!]
Number 4 is Li Heung-kam.
She glanced around and quickly made her choice.
"I choose No. 9 as Queen, No. 5 as my wise minister!"
[Player #4, have you confirmed that Player No. 9 is the Queen and Player No. 8 is the Wise Minister?]
"Confirm!"
[Player, do you want to vote against this? Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
Jiang Ya frowned, clearly not satisfied with the choice, but ultimately did not vote.
Brother Bo, with his bowl cut, clicked his tongue. Zhang Lei, though seemingly calm, tapped his fingers twice on the table.
Ling Yi witnessed all of this.
The countdown ended, and no one voted.
The fourth round ended quickly.
This time, No. 5, the Little Stutterer, once again received a red card.
Meanwhile, the Joker has likely already assimilated the second player.
In other words, the Joker faction should now have three players.
Why "possibly" and "should" instead of "certainly"? Because the Joker can assimilate once every two rounds, but Joker has the right to choose whether or not to assimilate.
Ultimately, that depends on what the Joker chooses.
Ling Yi glanced at Jiang Ya; this guy must be Iron Joker.
It would have been better if he hadn't debated with Chan Kwok-chung beforehand; this debate, however, was superfluous.
In fact, this Red and Black Cards game is much easier than Werewolf.
Werewolf may seem simple, but it actually tests one's acting skills and rhetoric the most.
Although the Red and Black Cards are arranged in a fancy way, you can basically determine each person's identity based on the result after one round.
What remains, and what is truly crucial, lies in the king's selection of the people and the dissenting votes held by each individual.
Of course, luck also plays a role; if you don't draw the cards you want every time, there's nothing anyone can do.
As for the Joker card? It's a variable, but its impact is minimal.
As Jiang Ya said, this game has loopholes and is very unfair to players who play the Joker card.
Logically, if fairness is the goal and there are fewer players using the Joker card, the probability of drawing the Joker card should be increased.
In reality, the Joker card is the rarest, and the probability of drawing it is the lowest.
This was the result in several demonstrations of the game.
Unless you have incredibly good luck with the Joker card!
"Two, two, two red cards!" No. 5, the Little Stutterer, spoke first.
"I drew one two- Joker card and one red card!" Ling Yi told the truth; those were indeed the three cards he drew.
"I have three red cards!" Li Heung-kam said.
Li Heung-kam was lying, but Ling Yi was almost certain that she and Little Stutterer were both on his side.
The red card faction has now moved up 3 squares, the black card faction's squares remain unchanged, Joker faction's squares have moved up 1 square.
Then it was the turn of No. 5, the Little Stutterer, to be king.
"Queen!" the Little Stutterer said, making an "eight" gesture.
It means the queen chose Number Eight.
He then gestured the number four.
Li Heung-kam and the Little Stutterer exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
They are now certain that the other party is a top-tier player, which is why they feel comfortable choosing each other as their trusted advisors.
[Player No. 5, have you confirmed that Player No. 8 is the Queen and Player #4 is the Wise Minister?]
"Yes, yes, I'm sure!"
[Player, do you want to vote against this? Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
"No one objects? I object!" No. 1 Big Shot Bi leaned back in his chair and raised his hand.
Jiang Ya frowned when he saw that the Big Shot Bi had voted against it.
Although the red card camp currently holds a significant advantage, it would be a waste to vote against it now.
Moreover, even if it's a vote, he shouldn't be the one to cast it.
Big Shot Bi's identity is indeed questionable, and this deal could very well go to waste.
Just as the countdown was about to end, Brother Bo, who hadn't said a word, raised his hand.
[Two votes against. Player No. 5, please reselect the Queen and wise minister. Players previously selected cannot be selected again. 60 seconds remaining!]
"You, you, are you fucking crazy? Why did you vote...?" The Little Stutterer didn't dare to curse the Big Shot Bi, so he could only curse No. 7, Brother Bo.
"I'll vote if I want!" Laozi Bo smirked, giving the Brother Bo Little Stutterer a once-over with a fierce look on his face.
Especially that unruly air about him made the Little Stutterer's face turn pale.
The Big Shot Bi chuckled twice and gave Brother Bo a thumbs up.
"You idiot, what are you gesturing for? You're acting like a Smiling Tiger! Get lost!"
Brother Bo is quite short-tempered!
But thinking about his performance in the movie, it seems that this character really is a Reckless Man and fearless brute.
Now it was the Big Shot Bi's turn to look ugly.
The Little Stutterer looked at number 4, Li Heung-kam, and asked, "Sister, how... how do we choose?"
"Let's choose No. 9 for the wise minister, and as for the queen, it doesn't matter!" Li Heung-kam suggested.
The Little Stutterer looked around, then pointed directly at the No. 1 Big Shot Bi Dao: "Queen!"
Big Shot Bi felt he was incompatible with the Queen; this was the second time he had been chosen as Queen.
" Little Stutterer, don't let me see you in Copper Bay, or Laozi 'll definitely drag you out and make you into a martial arts movie!" Big Shot Bi threatened.
"Threatening a young girl? Despicable, ptooey!" Zhang Mazi Taunt.
Big Shot Bi stared intently at Zhang Mazi, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Oh ho, looks like you're not convinced, huh? I haven't had a fight lately, my hands are itching!" Zhang Mazi said, clenching his fist.
Big Shot Bi immediately lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich, cursing inwardly, "This bandit, this Reckless Man!"
"Why did you choose him? What if he causes trouble later?" Li Heung-kam asked, frowning.
Little Stutterer only chose Big Shot Bi on a whim, without thinking much about anything else.
[Player No. 5, have you confirmed that Player No. 1 is the Queen and Player No. 9 is the Wise Minister?]
"Are you... sure?" the Little Stutterer asked.
The Little Stutterer looked at Li Heung-kam, while Li Heung-kam turned to Ling Yi and asked, " No. 9, what do you think?"
"I'm sure of it. This game is so tedious. I don't care about winning or losing, I just want it to end as soon as possible. This garbage game, if I keep playing it, I'll just be a coward!"
Ling Yi shrugged and said that this was indeed his true thought.
This terrible Red and Black Cards game is not only riddled with loopholes and has poorly designed rules, but it's also a huge waste of time.
The user experience was terrible.
If you're going to win treasure chests anyway, why not play Werewolf Who Is the Undercover?
"Yes, that's right, this lousy game is not... fun at all!" Little Stutterer agreed.
[Player, do you want to vote against this? Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
This time, there were no dissenting votes.
[Other players are sealed; King player No. 5, please draw a card!]
[Player No. 1, the King, please choose one card from the three to play.]
The Little Stutterer wasted almost no time, playing his card in three seconds.
[Other players are sealed; Queen No. 1, please draw a card!]
[Queen player No. 1, please choose one card from the three cards to play.]
Big Shot Bi didn't waste much time either, playing his card in 5 seconds.
[Other players are sealed; Player No. 9, the Wise Minister, must choose one of your two current cards to play!]
Ling Yi regained his sight and hearing, and in front of him were a red card and a black card.
Ling Yi didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose the red card.
[The card played by player No. 9, the wise minister, is a red card!]
[All players are unsealed. King player #6, please prepare. 60 seconds countdown!]
The red team's grid has moved up one more square, now reaching the 4th square.
Jiang Ya looked at Ling Yi and asked, "You're a veteran player, right?"
Ling Yi nodded and asked in return, "Is this all your first time playing this game?"
Seeing Jiang Ya nod, Ling Yi suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a problem.
Logically speaking, Jiang Ya and the others should have played at least one round of the game.
Keep in mind that he had played three rounds of the Werewolf game before this.
Three rounds of Werewolf, plus the time lost in between, took at least an hour.
In over an hour, did Jiang Ya and the others not even play a single game?
"We've never had enough people! If you don't show up, we don't know how long we'll have to wait!" Zhang Mazi said at this moment.
"I see!"
Ling Yi suddenly realized that this Game Space was still a bit low-end.
This dares to call itself Myriad Worlds Game?
If we can't even gather enough players, what kind of Myriad Worlds is this?!
"What's that Werewolf game and 'Who Is the Undercover' game like?" Zhang Mazi asked again.
Ling Yi quickly explained the basic rules.
"I think Werewolf is quite fun, you're right. This lousy card game is so tedious, let's just end it already!"
Everyone nodded.
After that, almost everyone fell silent, and no one voted against it. The election was rushed, and everyone was just giving up.
Ultimately, the red team gained an early advantage and easily secured the victory.
This is Ling Yi's sixth game, and also the fifth game Ling Yi has won, marking the fifth time he has obtained the treasure chest.
Ling Yi had just opened the treasure chest and hadn't even had a chance to check the rewards when he was kicked out of the Red and Black Cards game room. Fortunately, the treasure chest rewards weren't lost and were delivered to him as well.
Immediately afterwards, a game notification suddenly rang in the minds of all players.
[Attention all players...]
