Clown Game
Chapter 179 - 179 167 Dice Game Four
Chapter 179: Chapter 167 Dice Game Four Chapter 179: Chapter 167 Dice Game Four “I agree!” A few seconds after “Short-haired Man” finished making the suggestion, the little guy with the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks echoed.
Chen Xiao, who usually chuckles for no reason, also didn’t know what came over him today; he didn’t talk much, but he still nodded, indicating he had no objections.
Finally, it was the last girl to arrive on the Black team who was left. She looked around and realized that everyone but herself had agreed, so she also nodded vaguely in agreement.
…
In fact, this wasn’t really a proposition at all. “Short-haired Man” basically announced his move since he had already rolled the dice. As for the others… it didn’t matter whether they agreed or not, as he was definitely going to abstain from the next round.
And the reason he did this… apart from those mentioned in the last chapter.
The key reason…
was that he wanted to use these three points to irritate the gorilla.
The reason being: now the Black team had essentially slapped three points on the table. It could only be more, not less, functioning like an “open card.” So, if you were a member of the opposing team, what would you choose to do?
Would you be willing to roll two points and let the other two roll one each to win this round?
Definitely not! No one is that stupid. Being selfish and self-interested is precisely for moments like this.
So, ninety percent of the time, the approach would be for each person to roll one point, totaling three points.
That was the best method because there was only one person rolling on the opposing side, and they could at most roll three points. As long as we rolled three points on our side, we were guaranteed not to lose.
The worst result would be a tie!
And in the next round, the shameless gorilla would rejoin the dice-rolling team. Then it would be four against three— a huge advantage.
…
…
So, it was no surprise when “Defeated Man” turned to everyone and said, “Oh? That works too. Our team also has a bastard who’s abstaining this round, so let’s each roll one point… How about a tie? Of course, if anyone wants to be selfless and roll more, we will all be grateful…” As he spoke, he glanced at the gorilla several times with a disdainful, mocking, and punch-deserving tone.
And the gorilla, as if he hadn’t heard at all, just coldly stared at “Short-haired Man” on the opposing team, his expression growing even darker. He knew that the other party’s proposition was devised to sabotage his plan. Just great, a round that was a sure win with the chance of deceiving a teammate to roll a “two” had become uncertain, and now each teammate was reduced to rolling one point each—practically playing for nothing.
As annoying as it was, he couldn’t say anything, having to swallow the bitter pill in silence.
————
A few seconds later…
“I’ve rolled, one point!” Defeated Man declared.
Subsequently, the remaining two people on the White team also pressed their screens. Without guessing, it was clear they’d all rolled one point—no one wanted to lose out, and no one would want to give up a winning round just to save a point. Of course, rolling two was also out of the question. No one wanted to be the one making the bridal dress for others.
It appeared that apart from the gorilla seething with frustration, this round was going to pass quite smoothly.
Everyone was waiting for the round to end.
But just at that moment…
“Hmm… Suddenly, I feel…” A sharp voice broke the silence
The person speaking was none other than Chen Xiao, who, as he spoke, picked up his mobile phone from the table once again.
“Somehow… I suddenly feel like making a contribution to the team…” His face showed a very conflicted expression.
“Hey, hey—what are you up to?” Kidney-deficient Bro was the first to sense something awry upon seeing Chen Xiao’s action and hurriedly shouted.
Chen Xiao seemed a little embarrassed as he scratched his cheek, “Ah, well, it’s nothing major, just that during the last round, I actually opted out… But just now, seeing a teammate throw a three in one go, I was somewhat moved, so…”
As he spoke, he lifted his head and gave everyone a charming Chen-style smile…
“So I decided, this round I’ll throw in another point.”
!!!!!
“What… what?” Gorilla was somewhat in disbelief of his own ears, standing there stunned… After a few seconds, he finally came to his senses.
“Are you fucking sick?” he roared, such force in his demeanor that, had he not held himself back, he probably would have torn Chen Xiao to pieces on the spot!
Gorilla’s anger this time wasn’t feigned. The reason was, of course… because he’d been duped by this devil-may-care kid.
Because the teammates had all made their moves! Now it was the white team with three points, the black team with three points, all set for the next round…
But who expected that at this moment, Chen Xiao would pop up with a “sudden attack of conscience”? If he really did throw in a point, the black team would be at four.
This fucking meant the hat of victory or defeat was suddenly plopped on the head of Gorilla, who was supposed to have abstained, and it was plopped on there tight, impossible to shake off.
“Huff—” Gorilla took a good few seconds before slowly exhaling the pent-up rage from his chest: “You bastard, did you even understand the rules? Do you know what you’re doing? Your teammates have all opted out!… Although that kid threw in three points, he can’t participate for the next few rounds. Now that you’re throwing in a point, you’re basically digging your own grave, do you realize that?”
He said coldly, even with a hint of threat in his voice; one look at Chen Xiao’s misshapen melon of a face, and nobody would believe he’d been moved!
But Chen Xiao still wore that nauseating grin: “Ah, yes, I know, but, um… I still really want to throw in a point… hehehe.”
As he spoke, he indeed tapped on his mobile phone: “But then again, I might just be bluffing you!”
…
…
Gorilla pursed his lips tightly, his lips turning bloodless from the effort—clear signs of intense struggle.
Suddenly, a glint of light flashed across his eyes,
“Heh heh…”
As if he had thought of something, he inexplicably let out a chuckle.
“Alright then…” Gorilla’s face underwent a 180-degree change: “You want to force me to throw in another point with this tactic? Hahaha, since you want to play, I’ll play along!!”
With that, he snatched up the mobile phone and, with a sneer, tapped the screen: “I don’t care whether you’re bluffing or not, I’ve thrown in my point. If we win this round… for the next few rounds, you’ll only have three people… let’s see how you turn this around?”
This statement cast a shadow over the faces of everyone on the black team. Indeed, if they lost this round, it would be back to square one with a score of 1 to 1. With just three players on their side, the situation suddenly looked much less optimistic.
But Chen Xiao didn’t seem concerned about the current situation.
He just smiled, and very covertly… glanced from the corner of his eye at the last girl to join, who was also part of the black team…
