Chapter 250 Sunk Costs
"Ah?!" The middle-aged man was obviously stunned, "Xiao Nizi, what are you talking about?!"
Qi Xia nodded, he already knew the woman's tactics.
Losing 800 to oneself and 1,000 to the enemy. This tactic is similar to Qi Xia's previous idea. The plan is good, but a bit reckless.
"I said I regretted it, uncle." The woman stopped smiling and looked at the middle-aged man with a hint of teasing, "You are such a perverted old man, why on earth do you think I will "pair" with you?"
"Nizi! What are you going to do?!" The uncle looked at a loss. "We both pressed the button. How can you regret it now?!"
"It doesn't matter." The woman shrugged, "Anyway, there are three matching opportunities, and besides, I didn't throw the fan in. It's just a loss of one matching opportunity."
"You..." The middle-aged man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he couldn't say a word.
"Uncle, let's discuss the terms again." The woman showed her meaningful smile again, "If you want me to throw the fan in, you need to give me the remaining one in your hand."
Qi Xia sneered. Sure enough, this was indeed a fraud game.
If the only rule was "escape", it would be a truly cooperative game.
But each fan is worth five "Taos", so that human nature will be revealed.
"Give you a fan...?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and looked at the last fan in his pocket.
"Uncle, you should understand, right?" The woman raised her head, "Even if you give up on me now and find someone else to match... you only have a fan."
"But I will have the next one soon..." The middle-aged man paused, "You are cheating... I can't believe you."
"What if your next fan is a duplicate?" The woman showed a cunning look, "Uncle, there is a one-third chance that it is a duplicate. Don't you want to escape? You give me the fan now, and I will I’ll let you escape. But if you wait for half an hour and then get cheated again... it’s hard to say what will happen to you.”

The young man slowly lowered his head, his expression was particularly complex, he really wanted to escape.
But if he couldn't keep even one fan, he would lose five "Taos".
Which is more important, "Tao" or fate?
"Nizi...I really mistrusted you." The middle-aged man stamped his feet, and finally took out the third fan, "Okay, okay...I don't want to play with you anymore. I'll give you the fan. Please let me go quickly." Walk!"
"Great!" The woman nodded happily, "Uncle, you are really smart!"
But only Qi Xia knew that this uncle had sent him into the abyss.
After the woman took the fan and put it in her pocket, she still didn't take any action.
"Nizi, what are you doing?" The uncle asked in a trembling voice, "Put the fan in!"
"Uncle, I'm sorry." The woman's expression became cold again, "I have another idea."
"Ah?!" The middle-aged man completely broke his voice this time, "No, Nizi, there is no such thing as you! What do you want this time?"
"I want all the Tao in you." The woman continued to say coldly, "If you give me the Tao this time, I will definitely throw the fan into it."
"Girl, don't talk like a lion!" The middle-aged man got angry, "I don't think I can bully others like you!"
"Forget it, I'm leaving." The woman shook her head, turned around and left without any regret.
"Don't! Don't go!"
In less than two seconds, the middle-aged man panicked.
Now that all his fans have been put in, how could he just give up?
"I, I only have three "Taos" in my body!" The middle-aged man tremblingly took out three small balls, "This is all I have, I don't want to die... You must keep your word..."
"Don't worry, killing you won't do me any good." The woman reached out and grabbed the three "Tao".
Qi Xia shook his head helplessly. This uncle had completely fallen into the "sunk cost" effect.
Like most failed investors in the world, from his perspective, not continuing to invest will only result in more losses. From the first time he put in two fans, the situation has entered an endless loop.
"Nizi... I gave you the Tao and the fan, and I have nothing left..." the middle-aged man said with a trembling voice, "Please let me out, I really don't want to play anymore."
Qi Xia slowly took a step forward, knowing that the time had come when he was needed.
"I'm sorry, uncle." The woman showed a wronged expression, "I regret it again."
The middle-aged man's eyes widened and he was speechless.
The woman stretched and was about to leave.
"Ni, Nizi...please spare me, I really have nothing left..." .🅆.
"Yes, I know." The woman nodded, turned around and said with some sympathy, "Don't worry, uncle, I don't want anything this time."
"You don't want anything anymore?"
"Yes, uncle." She showed an innocent expression and said with a wicked smile, "Our cooperation is over. I don't want to go out, so I will continue to stay here."
"What... you, you, you..."
"Uncle, let me give you a suggestion." The woman patted his shoulder, "Wait here for an hour, get two fans and then find a way to go out."
The middle-aged man's eyes looked a little desperate: "Xiao Nizi, you are killing me... Didn't you say that killing me would do you no good?"
"I didn't kill you, uncle." The woman sighed, "Aren't you living well now? Although killing you will do me no good, letting you out will do me no good either."
After finishing speaking, the woman waved her hand and finally
\u003c/di\u003e
Still left.
The middle-aged man's heart was completely cold. Surprisingly, he didn't find any trouble with the woman. He just leaned against the corner and sat down slowly like a gambler who lost all his chips, covering his head in pain. own face.
He doesn't blame anyone now, he only blames himself for being blind.
This person is not a minority in society.
Qi Xia looked at this man, could only shake his head helplessly, and turned around and left.
It seems that this woman has expected this a long time ago. The middle-aged man in front of her is not very courageous, and he cannot afford to make waves.
"How is it?" The woman turned around and asked Qi Xia, "Am I very smart?"
"Smart...? You only have three chances. How many times can you cheat?" Qi Xia asked.
"If the plan goes well, I can cheat three times." The woman smiled and smoothed her hair. "The further you go, the more things I will cheat."
"Oh?" Qi Xia didn't expect the woman in front of her to have such a big appetite, "The third time has clearly decided whether you can go out, do you still want to lie?"
"Of course, you can get the most chips when you make a desperate move." The woman turned her head and handed the three "Tao" to Qi Xia.
"do what?"
"This success is all due to you." The woman said with a smile, "The fan is too valuable so I can't give it to you. I'll give you these three "Tao"s."
"I didn't help at all." Qi Xia said.
"Take it." The woman insisted on giving Qi Xia three "Tao" stones, but Qi Xia had no choice but to accept them.
"Brother, what's your name?" the woman asked.
"Qi Xia."
"It sounds good." The woman nodded.
"how about you?"
"My name is very unpleasant. I'm afraid you'll laugh if I say it."
"I wonder how hard it sounds."
"Well..." The woman shook her head helplessly and whispered, "My name is Qin Dingdong."
