It turned out to be a correct answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu laughed and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are lucky, they can live a little longer, but that's it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they finally found the first correct answer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just one number eight couldn't help the big tree and the others infer any results. With just this one number, no patterns were discerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the big tree had to continue the cruel elimination and arrange for someone to light up number nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the reduced number of people, the big tree couldn't recklessly arrange for nine people to light it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere during the current round was one of despair. Facing ten correct answers, they had only found one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue numbered nine was a guillotine, as famous as Louis XVI's prized possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn't even need to think to know the death method this thing would bring—certainly beheading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six red butterflies, three purple butterflies, six blue butterflies. Two white butterflies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relatively speaking, it attracted more butterflies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After this round ends, it'll just be us. As for other districts, Old Zheng, only you and I will be able to survive until the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue was lit. The light shone brightly, yet many lights dimmed at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the guillotine's grey color faded, it reappeared not long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the blade fell—a multitude of vine tendrils full of life force soon became lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai, who had been in stealth for a long time, finally ended their concealment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two reappeared in battle, the vast battlefield held only them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big tree with nearly fifty thousand points was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how close it came to victory, the points couldn't be carried into the next draw card time frame—it was all illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai felt a bit emotional:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old pal… over five thousand people just died like that. But this is only the ninth round.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Other districts might have noticed the butterfly variable, and the third numbered statue might not be flowers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's just our district being unlucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu at this moment didn't care much about the big tree's fifty thousand points, after all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was holding hundreds of thousands of points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu silently crossed over countless monster corpses and came to the statue number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lamp would be lit once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai exclaimed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old pal, that's a wrong answer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, numbers one to eight had all been lit before. The results seemed to show that numbers one to eight were all wrong answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Zheng, let's interpret this sentence now. A strong person can command the weak to light statues, making the weak a step for you to gaze down, but you will neither stand taller nor shorter than these steps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does this indicate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… I don't understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It indicates you are of the same height as these steps. The strong are stronger than the weak. Assuming you are strong, you represent a larger number. A large number is greater than a small number but facing a tower formed by numbers weaker than you, you will neither exceed this number nor fall below it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This implies… you are equal to the sum of the two preceding numbers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the answer is like this, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, from the beginning, the big tree had the chance to guess correctly. This round is very simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among one to eight, there are five correct answers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai finally caught on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, 1+2 equals 3, 2+3 equals 5, 3+5 equals 8…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that the host's sentence was the key to everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You will neither stand taller nor shorter than these stairs. This solely means you are the same as them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the numbers of the hundred statues are not repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai had an epiphany:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So butterflies… are variables?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After rounds of verification, blue butterflies represent addition; a few blue butterflies mean adding those few. Purple butterflies represent subtraction; a few purple butterflies mean subtracting those few. Red butterflies represent multiplication, while white butterflies represent division. The pattern is all the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said while he drove away the three red butterflies on the statue number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, taking advantage of other butterflies not flying over, he quickly lit up statue number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light came on, yet at this moment, the melted light changed color, making Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai feel relaxed all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai comprehended, realizing that the butterflies must be driven away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood why the host was saying there might be more deaths or fewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because butterflies also represent subtraction and division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the purple and white butterflies inherently have lower numbers than the blue and red ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, statistically speaking, although the actual number of deaths is less than the statue number occasionally, this probability is very low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, the first district people were unlucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old pal, if in the ninth round… thirty-two people will die, what would you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninth round only saw thirty people die, a bit coincidental, but coincidence is no longer important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would kill them all before they lit the lamp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of that terrifying big tree, Zheng Zai felt a chill:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… could kill so many people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking this question, Zheng Zai felt a bit silly. How could I question the worth of fifty-three thousand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Wen Xishu lit up the second statue, third statue, fifth statue, thirteenth statue…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When finally the eighty-ninth statue was lit—\u003C\u002Fp>",967,"2026-06-03T11:12:54.762Z","2026-06-03T11:12:59.875Z",1,"novelbin.me","caa6613618233706b96c8ab7e328621d1d140e5c095f0ce582d85bcdc5d45f34","three-towers-game-chapter-839","three-towers-game-chapter-837",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
