After all, if players from other spaces exist, but won't be transferred to my space, what's the point no matter how much the chips are transferred?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Therefore, a conclusion can be drawn: this Instance simply does not have other spaces.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, it is an Instance mechanism for the winner of a round to lose some chips.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Check!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the problem came.

Perhaps it would decrease to be even fewer than Shu Renjun's chips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it became even simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on how many chips could be won each round, how many chips would disappear, and whether he would be the person with the most chips after winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would selectively call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, in the next round if the NPC Shu Renjun spoke first, and both NPCs folded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Shu Renjun would still win, but his chips would become fewer and fewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the NPC Shu Renjuns would raise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much to raise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The winner of the next round would lose 60 chips, so as long as the won chips did not exceed 60 chips, the real Shu Renjun could call. After all, he won the previous round and was taken for 50 chips, so his chips on the table were 70 fewer than the two. Even if he won, his chips would still not be the most, and there would be a situation where the more he won, the fewer chips he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this method, no matter how many rounds were played, at the end of each round, he would never be the person with the most chips, therefore the bullets he retained would no longer continue to increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victory was secured!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran, Shu Renjun, and Hua Changsheng could clear the Instance with their eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A dog's tail extending a sable fur!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the evaluation the three gave to Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the full score was 10 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this Instance, they would give Lin Xuan at most three 2.5 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beginning was indeed stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The revolver shooting to kill, the disappearance of chips, the counter-intuitive spatial transfer, the concealment of the true clearing solution, as well as the concealment of ambiguities—it could be said that all of these were designed very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, as long as two people left the table, Lin Xuan's Instance would be thoroughly exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from an omniscient perspective, the three felt that Lin Xuan's Instance was anticlimactic, simply because they deduced the clearing solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was a clearing solution, then the following parts would naturally be much simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it wasn't that the ending of the Instance created by Lin Xuan was poor, but rather that it became simple because they deduced the correct answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This story tells us that when you look back again, the hurdles you previously thought were insurmountable were actually just so-so, not as difficult as you imagined at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recall constantly polishes memory; what you fear will make you fear it more.
