Chapter 3 Miss Crown Guard
"Next, the game I want to play is very simple, which is to choose the rope hole. Whether it is choosing a stick to go around the rope, or choosing a stick to block the rope, just like what I did just now, do you all understand?"
The stall owner raised his head and smiled very kindly.
The people around Lu Qi were obviously analyzing the discussions among themselves, and Lu Qi almost understood it at this time.
After all, the rules are just that, and the game is very simple. Choose one of the three rope holes, and choose a stick to block the rope. Then you will win like the stall owner just did. If you choose to bypass the rope, you must choose the other two holes.
"Does anyone want to come up and play?"
The stall owner sent out the invitation, and then explained: "But we can't play in vain. Every time you want to play, you have to pay no less than three silver coins. As for the more, it depends on you. If you choose, I will pay you the money." If you don’t get selected with the money you bet, the money will belong to me.”
"I come!"
Immediately, a spectator with itchy hands strode forward and expressed his eagerness to have a game.
Then he neatly took out three silver coins and placed them on the right side of the table.
"Then just watch, I'll start!"
The stall owner didn't waste any time and started to wind the rope around and around. His technique was very fast, and the most important thing was to use some fancy body movements to distract the audience's attention.
But it’s not difficult in practice. After all, the rope has a beginning and an end. Whether you choose to go around the rope or block the rope is very simple.
"Okay, you choose!"
The stall owner handed the stick to the spectator.
The latter did not hesitate, selected a rope hole and inserted it, and said: "I choose the rope to go around the stick."
"Okay Audiences, and this person, all are watching."
The stall owner began to pull on the rope, and the rope became smaller and smaller, like a small snake, until finally even the tail wrapped around the stick, and finally only the stick was left alone on the table in the middle.
"Congratulations to this one, you were selected!"
The stall owner congratulated with a smile on his face and took out three silver coins without any hesitation.
In this way, the bettor made three silvers, and left happily without saying anything about continuing to play.
With the first person to make a profit, other spectators gradually lost their patience and stepped forward to play.
During this period, the stall owner relied on his tricks to deceive the eyes of several viewers and made them press the wrong one. But overall, the stall owner still suffered a huge loss.
There were more and more people, but Lu Qi only watched two or three games and felt that it was not interesting, so he was ready to leave.
"Can I come and play a game?"
At this time, a clear and sweet voice came from behind the crowd, it should be a girl, and people moved aside a little.
A blonde girl squeezed in, her big eyes full of interest in the game.
Lu Qi stopped and looked at the girl, surprised and a little surprised.
I didn't expect that I would meet a hero so soon.
The girl has a delicate oval face, with the purity of a girl, her facial features are as beautiful as if they were carefully carved by heaven, her white teeth and bright blue eyes are extremely exciting, and her brilliant blond hair is like sunshine. Same as above.
She is very eye-catching just standing here.
Moreover, she has a very high degree of recognition, and many people around her have already recognized her.
"Miss Crownguard?"
After hearing this, Lu Qi became more certain in his judgment. The blond girl in front of him was the hero, the radiant girl - Lux!
After all, Crownguard is a well-known noble in Demacia, and ordinary people cannot afford the title of Miss Crownguard.
Everyone was not too surprised by Lux's appearance, as if it was not strange to see her here.
"Can I come and play a game?"
Lux approached the stall and repeated what she just said with a cute smile on her face. It was obvious that she was indeed very interested in this game.
The stall owner paused for a moment before replying: "Of course, do you understand the rules?"
"clear!"
Lux nodded seriously.
The stall owner said: "Please place your bet."
Immediately, Lux took out an exquisite wallet from her pocket, took out a shiny gold coin from it, and placed it on the table.
Then he stared at the stall owner without blinking, not prepared to let go of any of his movements.
"Okay, then I'll start."
Seeing that there was a gold coin coming up, the stall owner also became serious, mumbling something in his mouth, and the speed in his hand continued to increase.
Soon, three rope holes appeared.
Lux touched her chin with her little hand and pondered for a while, and finally took the rope and inserted it into one of them, vowing: "I choose to bypass the stick!"
Her choice was correct. After all, in terms of probability, the rope bypassing the stick has a two-thirds chance, while the stick blocking the rope has a one-third chance.
Normal people would choose to go around the rope.
Then, as the stall owner started to pull the rope, the rope was finally stopped by the stick.
Lux's eyes widened a little, looking a little confused.
The surrounding audience couldn't help sighing for her, and the stall owner smiled: "Miss Crown Guard, it seems that your luck is a bit bad, do you still want to play?"
"Can't you choose this?"
Lux was obviously a little unconvinced. She took out a gold coin and put it down again. This time her expression was more serious.
"You really have to be careful this time!"
The stall owner started the same operation, and soon it was time for Lux to choose again.
Lacus didn't even blink during this period, and she firmly inserted the stick into a rope hole: "I will definitely make no mistake this time, I choose to go around the rope!"
As the stall owner began to pull the rope, there was another gasping sound from the surrounding audience.
Because this time, the rope was also blocked by the stick!
Lux was also completely confused. She didn't understand why she could still choose the wrong one.
The stall owner coughed twice: "It seems you are unlucky today."
An audience member nearby murmured: "In a sense, I'm pretty lucky. After all, I was able to choose to block the rope twice in a row."
Another viewer suggested: "Why don't you try to block the rope this time? Maybe you can win back the previous one."
Some viewers also suggested: "No, no, I've already lost two gold coins. If you want me to see, it's better to stop playing and know how to stop losses in time."
When Lux heard the sounds around her, she was obviously a little over the top. She exhaled heavily and took out two gold coins without believing anything evil: "Come again!"
"If you still want to play, then be careful this time."
The stall owner will naturally not let go of the opportunity to make money, and he will start to repeat the operation skillfully.
It's time for Lux to choose again.
This time, she did not hesitate and immediately selected a rope hole: "This time I choose to block the rope!"
