Chapter 613: 360-Degree Protection with No Blind Spots!

"Protect Qiu Yinong?"

Nan Sheng silently lit a cigarette. If one says Jiang Zhe, Qi Yanqing, and Chen Nuo, the three of them stood in their own positions to look at this so-called Instance breaking point, then Nan Sheng stood from the position of players to look at the Instance.

[As for Qiu Yinong, she should have been hinted by Chen Ran that she cannot deduce the answer.]

[But, when facing [protection], with what kind of behavior will she treat it?]

[If I were Qiu Yinong, when I haven't deduced the answer myself, and know the answer cannot be deduced, what would I do?]

[I would wait for the time loop.]

[Very obviously, Chen Ran's IQ is higher than Qiu Yinong's. And under the passive state of being unable to deduce the answer, what Qiu Yinong has to do is hand the decision-making power to Chen Ran.]

[I am not as smart as you, then I will hand the problem to you to handle.]

[Simply put, Chen Ran is in a known state; he knows how to handle it. Qiu Yinong is in an unknown state; she doesn't know how to handle it.]

[Let Chen Ran kill the Observers one by one in the constant time loops.]

[Ultimately only leaving players.]

[Known: the person who didn't come is an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Chen Ran. Therefore that person will be the same as Chen Ran, taking the lead to deduce the answer.]

[If it is the ideal state...]

[In the final time loop only the three of them are left. Chen Ran and the person who didn't come both deduced the answer, leaving only Qiu Yinong alone who hasn't deduced the answer. Then Qiu Yinong will stand in an invincible position.]

[But, there exists a doubt within this, which is when after multiple time loops, only the three of them are left, will Chen Ran again remind Qiu Yinong that she cannot deduce the answer?]

[This is hard to say.]

[But, even if he doesn't remind her, at least the three of them can all deduce the answer, Qiu Yinong also neither gains nor loses.]

[Therefore, if Qiu Yinong hides, the best situation is when not having deduced the answer, being killed by Chen Ran or the person who didn't come, clearing the Instance in a daze. The worst situation is merely being on the same starting line as the other two.]

[Moreover, in the worst situation, it's also possible she fundamentally cannot deduce the answer herself.]

Nan Sheng took a drag of his cigarette. In his deduction, Qiu Yinong hiding was set in stone.

Next was Chen Ran.

[Standing from Chen Ran's perspective, what would his most ideal result be?]

[He himself dying first, then letting Qiu Yinong who hasn't deduced the answer be killed by... the person inside the Gymnasium Storage.]

[Holy sh*t!]

Nan Sheng was startled. He rubbed his temples, even somewhat doubting if his deduction had become a demonic obsession, how could he arrive at...

An answer like this?

Simply because, this answer was exactly what Chen Ran was doing right now.

Simply put...

The number of people is not restricted by the loop. Then in the constant loops, except for Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, and the person who didn't come, anyone other than the three of them will die one by one.

If the person who didn't come still chose to go to the Gymnasium Storage, Chen Ran would still block the door.

That is to say, in the final time loop, as long as Qiu Yinong kills Chen Ran.

Then, there will only remain one Qiu Yinong who hasn't deduced the answer, as well as a [that person] who has deduced the answer.

Qiu Yinong will have certain victory in her grasp.

Of course this is the ideal state, and many variables might still exist. For example: In the final time loop, the person who didn't come doesn't go to the Gymnasium anymore, but goes to other places.

But, this kind of variable can actually be controlled. As long as Chen Ran can make [the person who didn't come] unable to deduce: the possibility that Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong are players is the greatest.

Namely: Chen Ran has to handle the problem at the Academic Affairs Office ahead of that person...

No matter what, the plan Chen Ran chose was: Qiu Yinong kills him, while Qiu Yinong, who hasn't deduced the answer, doesn't possess 'to the greatest possible extent'. Therefore she only needs to enter the Gymnasium Storage, letting that person who deduced the answer and possesses 'to the greatest possible extent', kill her.

Then, Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong can both clear the Instance; the person who didn't come cannot clear the Instance.

Therefore, in Chen Ran's plan, the only thing Qiu Yinong has to do is consider how to kill Chen Ran within Chen Ran's 'to the greatest possible extent', to let him be able to clear the Instance.

Looking from God's perspective, actually Chen Ran has already given the answer: physical stamina.

For Qiu Yinong, Chen Ran's biggest weakness is exactly [hollow and weak]. With her IQ she can naturally grasp this point. Sending Chen Ran to safely clear the Instance will be very easy.

Returning to the main topic.

Nan Sheng didn't expect that Chen Ran in this round of time loop, actually pointed out the answer in the final round of time loop to Qiu Yinong.

[Worthy of being the Wallfacer we elected, truly f*cking strong!]

[Moreover, in Chen Ran's Wallfacer plan, we only need to peacefully and reassuringly protect Qiu Yinong with an Observer's identity, and we can then clear the Instance in the subsequent time loops.]

[Awesome!]

[At the same time, from here one can see the answer regarding Qiu Yinong's deduction just now: namely, in the final time loop, Chen Ran will still remind Qiu Yinong not to deduce the answer.]

Nan Sheng carefully reviewed this plan. The only variable that might exist...

Is only the person who didn't come.

Will he go get a weapon in the storage according to Chen Ran's plan?

[However!]

[This is not a problem I should care about.]

[After all...]

[At that time I will have already cleared the Instance.]

What Nan Sheng had to do next was how to make the Instance judge him as having Observer behavior.

[This is actually also very simple. Do not let Qiu Yinong deduce the true answer, do not let her clear the Instance, do not let her fail the Instance. Meeting any one of these three items is an Observer behavior.]

Thinking of this point.

Nan Sheng dangled a cigarette in his mouth, leisurely walking out of the dorm, destroying the displays within the campus. Whether it was computer monitors or LEDs, in short, any display that might show text answers, destroying them all would do.

...

At the same time.

Chu Yinian also walked out of the dorm. What he wanted to do might be a bit more troublesome...

Do not let paper that can be used to write down the answer appear in front of Qiu Yinong.

...

Following the passage of time, more and more players deduced the answer.

Their ways of protecting Qiu Yinong: some acted as scouts in front of Qiu Yinong. Once they discovered text writing the Instance answer on walls or utility poles, they immediately scribbled over it.

Some were ensuring that within the range of Qiu Yinong's line of sight, not a single sheet of paper would appear.

Some destroyed displays.

Some destroyed multifunctional players.

Some, after Qiu Yinong was well-hidden, personally guarded the doorway to prevent people from entering.

In short, 360 degrees, protection with no blind spots, thereby being judged as...

Observer behavior.

Qiu Yinong was just like that photon interfered with by Observers; she would never be able to obtain the answer of particle characteristics.

Namely: in this time loop, she would also never be able to clear the Instance.

...

In front of the Gymnasium Storage.

Inside the door and outside the door, they were still cursing each other.

Chen Ran was tired of knocking. Lighting a cigarette, he took a deep breath, looking towards the inside of the door.

[Very strange. From this person's previous operations, he should be very smart.]

[Logically speaking, he should have been able to deduce my Wallfacer plan.]

[But he seems not panicked at all?]

Inside the door, the Handsome Rogue Youth also lit a cigarette. Taking out a knife, he drew a bloody scratch on his arm: "I wonder if this bloody scratch will still be here tomorrow?"
