Chapter 183 - Prisoner's Dilemma (3)

Qiu Ji said, "The bonus for winning the new games is very high. A lot of people are willing to take the risk. In the past few days, there's already been a lot of pairs that both played the wolf cards and died in the mouth of zombies. There are also people that believed in the other party's lies and played the human card, and their bullet went to the other person."

Qiu Ji was right. In this cage fight, you were competing with humans, not zombies. This was psychological warfare, and humans were more terrifying than zombies.

There were more and more people in the casino. Countless people were gathered in front of the metal fighting cage, waiting to watch today's exciting shows.

Bei Nuan suddenly saw Lu Xingchi in the crowd. He walked over to a side of the casino where there weren't many people, crossed his arms, and leaned against the wall. He looked over at Bei Nuan and smiled at her. He had come out of the store room.

With him around, she didn't have to worry even if her opponent played a wolf card, a fairy card, a ghost card, or even a flower card.

The big boss was here to guard her. Bei Nuan cheered up and asked in excitement, "I understand the rules. So let's get on with it?"

Qiu Ji: ???

Qiu Zhengxun: ???

After waiting for a bit, there were a lot more people in the casino. It was time to start the cage fights.

The burly man from yesterday came over here. He was startled when he saw Bei Nuan.

Bei Nuan happily greeted him, "Hi! It's me again!"

The burly man snuck a peek at Qiu Zhengxun. He didn't dare to say anything and led Bei Nuan away.

After they had walked a distance, the burly man seized the time to whisper to Bei Nuan, "The game is different today. They'll try to trick you into playing the human card to take your bullet. Don't be fooled."

Bei Nuan open-mindedly asked for advice, "But if I play the wolf card too, won't you guys take away both bullets?"

The burly man scratched his head. This problem was too tricky.

They arrived at the stage.

Many people in the audience recognized Bei Nuan and whispered amongst themselves.

"This is the girl that won the cage fight yesterday?"

"Yeah, it's her, the one with an F tag!"

"Why is she back here? Didn't she make a lot of money yesterday?"

"She was lucky yesterday, but her luck next time might not be good. Didn't they say they're using the new rules for the cage fights today? A lot of people die under the new rules."

Bei Nuan stood on the familiar stage. When the burly man finished reading her basic information as usual, she saw a young man in his twenties being brought into the room.

This was probably her opponent in the first round.

He looked like a standard otaku. He looked like he hadn't eaten well for a while, and it was obvious that he was nervous.

He was very flustered as he got onto the stage. He wasn't looking at where he was going, missed the step, and almost fell down.

There was a burst of laughter in the audience.

When he went onto the stage, he finally saw Bei Nuan. Seeing Bei Nuan's little face, he was dumbfounded. He had never expected his opponent would be a girl.

At the same time, the burly man read from his notebook, "The newcomer has a C tag and has never killed a zombie. Place your bets now!"

Curious, Bei Nuan asked the burly man, "Is there anyone betting that I'll win today?"

There were several staff responsible for taking the bets. They were scattered amongst the crowd. There were more people today, and she couldn't tell who was the one responsible for taking bets that she would win

The burly man pointed at one of the staff. "The people going to her side are betting that you'll win."

There were actually a few people that ran over there to bet that Bei Nuan would win. Since she had won a match yesterday, there were people that wanted to take a gamble because of the high odds.

After the noisy crowd was done betting, the burly man took out four cards and gave two to Bei Nuan and two to the young man.

Bei Nuan took a look. The backs of the two cards were the same. On the front, one of them had a peacefully smiling person, and the other one had a grinning wolf.

The burly man told them, "You have three minutes to decide which card to play. During this time you can talk to each other. When the time is up, you have to play a card."

"Will you play the human card?" Bei Nuan directly asked the young man.

The young man was evasive. His head was half lowered, and he didn't dare to look Bei Nuan in the eyes. He hesitantly said, "I'll definitely play the human card."

Bei Nuan smiled. "I'll definitely play the human card too. That way both of us can get a bullet."

The young man raised his head to look at Bei Nuan.

Her eyes were clear. Her face was so pure and innocent that it looked angelic. She looked at him with a calm and sincere gaze.

The young man had never seen such eyes. Only an angel would have eyes like that.

"Don't be afraid. We'll both survive," she said.

Her gentle tone calmed the young man. He was an ordinary worker. He wasn't a good person and definitely not a bad person. He had only come to earn money. He had been wavering on what to do before he got on the stage.

He wanted to play the human card, but he was worried the other party was a liar, and he would lose his bullet. He also thought about seizing both bullets by playing the wolf card, but if the other person also played the wolf card, they would both die.

However, her gaze was undoubtedly pure. Faced with her trusting gaze, the young man made up his mind. Once he tossed away all the plots and suspicions, everything became simple.
