Chapter 824 Losing Is Harder than Winning

After the tentacles were burned, the attraction Li Zheng felt from those devices disappeared instantly.

"That's it." Li Zheng understood: "This kind of tentacle can be contagious, weakening the target's subconscious resistance to negative emotions through direct contact, and unknowingly pulling the other party into the same situation."

He sneered disdainfully: "It's just a small trick, it can be cracked without any effort!"

Even so, without Li Zheng's strong mental power, it would still be difficult for ordinary people to get rid of the attack once they are attacked. One mistake would lead to an irreparable outcome.

Perhaps many of those on the edge of the Golden Light Zone were tricked in this way.

Xia Houfei walked into the hall, sat casually in front of one of the entertainment facilities, and put in a chip to start the operation without any instruction.

This is a gambling device commonly known as a "slot machine". After putting in the chips, you select the target to bet on, and the facility will automatically jump to the target where it finally stops and the money will be returned based on the multiple.

Xia Houfei casually pressed the maximum multiplier, and the slot machine jingled with pleasant music, and finally stopped slowly. The icon was exactly what Xia Houfei had placed his bet on.

"So lucky?" Li Zheng couldn't help but was stunned when he saw this scene, and then realized that something was wrong: "This is to give the target some sweetness first, arouse the other's greed, and drag the target into the quagmire of addiction little by little. , If Xia Houfei cannot maintain a peaceful mind, he is likely to slowly deteriorate in the future. "

Li Zheng wanted to remind him, but Xia Houfei was in a clear mind and did not seem to be overjoyed because he had won.

Not only that, Xia Houfei also invested all the chips he just won plus those in the bag, and then took the highest magnification shot continuously.

"As long as I lose all my chips, I should be able to get rid of this weird building." Xia Houfei was confident: "I have won this option just now. The probability of consecutive hits is very slim. I don't believe it..."

With a confident look on his face, Xia Houfei looked at the machine in disbelief, it was hit again!

"This...this is impossible!"

He panicked a little, and with this push, his chips instantly doubled hundreds of times, to more than two thousand!

Li Zheng was shocked and said: "Our guess is wrong. These things may not lure the target into sinking through losing, but increase the stakes through winning."

Those chips are all condensed from negative emotions. Once Xia Houfei's chips exceed the limit he can bear, after the palace sends him back to the spiritual world, Xia Houfei's spiritual body will be completely destroyed in just an instant!

Xia Houfei was at a loss. He looked at the entertainment facilities and suddenly felt helpless: "If winning means losing, then what should I do if I want to really lose all the chips in my hand?"

All facilities in the palace have two modes: winning and losing. It seems to be a 50-50 probability, but if winning or losing can be artificially controlled, it becomes 100% vs. 0%.

Li Zheng looked at the gambling machine for a while and said, "Try using a chip to hold down the lowest rate."

"Okay." Xia Houfei tried it. The lowest multiplier was twice, and one chip became two.

"Two chips, five times and two times respectively." Li Zheng suggested again.

Xia Houfei did as he was told, and the two chips turned into five.

"Huh?" Xia Houfei seemed to have discovered something. This time Li Zheng didn't speak, so he gave it a try first.

With three chips, one bets five times the bet, and two bets double the bet.

This time it was still the one who won five times, but invisibly Xia Houfei won one less.

Xia Houfei was about to try, but was stopped by Li Zheng: "Don't move! These multipliers do not set up a losing situation, and there will be no results no matter how hard you try."

The machines seem to automatically choose the option with the biggest payoff.

Even if Xia Houffei wants to reduce his profits by dividing his chips, he will only win less without losing, and he will not lose 100%!

"Then... what should we do?" Xia Houfei was completely panicked and lost the confidence he had just now.

He originally thought that he could get rid of the palace in the spiritual world by losing all his chips, but it turned out that there was only the possibility of winning but no losing, which made all his initial plans come to nothing.

Li Zheng also had a headache. This was the first time he had seen such a weird thing. Other casinos make profits by infinitely amplifying the losing side through regulation, but here they do the opposite to amplify the winning side.

This situation...

There seems to be no solution at all!

"Try something else." Li Zheng thought that there was an arcade machine nearby. That kind of thing could only put coins in and there was no option to return coins. It should work.

However, Li Zheng still thought of things too simply.

Although there is no refund option in the arcade, as long as you put in a chip, you will have to sit in front of the arcade and play as long as the character does not die.

The character controlled by the player is almost invincible in the game. He can stand there and let the mobs attack without losing blood. Instead, he will inflict damage and rebound the mobs to death.

It took Xia Houfei three hours to complete the game. The character only lost a tiny amount of health in the final boss battle.

But the screen changes and the game starts again.

"No!!!!"

Xia Houfei slapped the machine in despair: "Why isn't it over!? Why?!"

Although I have already cleared the level, why is this chip not consumed, but the game is started again?

"Don't worry." Li Zheng pointed to the character's health and said, "Look here, he is not full of health!"

Although the game is restarted, the character's HP is inherited.

That is to say, as long as Xiahou Fei repeats the clearance process just now, there will always be a moment when the character is exhausted to death.

At that time, one chip will be consumed.

But...

A game lasts three hours, and the blood loss is 1% at a time. It will take 300 hours to kill the character!

Two thousand chips will take more than 600,000 hours!

Xiahou Fei may not live to that time, and he will starve to death halfway.

"No!" Li Zheng frowned: "Something is wrong!"

"If the chips are formed by eating those tentacles, why do those people still eat tentacles crazily?"

This sentence also made Xiahou Fei react: "Yes, why?"

Li Zheng said: "Think carefully, what is the biggest difference between you and those people?"

"The biggest difference..." Xiahou Fei's eyes lit up: "Because I don't want to be bad, I am not affected by the lazy sin domain! And the reason why I am not affected is... I am in the golden light zone!"

"That's right!" Li Zheng nodded: "Xiahou Fei, I can send your body back to the lazy domain, but it will be very dangerous to do so. Your consciousness may be polluted, you may become very eager to win, and you may eat those tentacles for chips. Can you keep your original intention now?

"I can!" Xiahou Fei said firmly: "Because my life is in my own hands!"

"Okay." Li Zheng said solemnly: "I will send you back, and then I will no longer provide you with help. If you don't keep your original intention and sink... I will kill you. "
