The Man-Pig didn’t speak. Instead, he quietly watched Qi Xia and said, “Even if you’ve seen through all of this, you still have to get a black piece with a forty-nine percent probability.”

“That’s right.” Qi Xia continued feeling around in the bowl. “When all science no longer works, I’ll also believe in mysticism.”

“Then what is your mystical theory?”

“It’s that I must get out.” Qi Xia said. “I believe one hundred percent that I can leave this godforsaken place, so I must pick a black piece here.”

With that said, he grabbed two pieces from the bowl and held them in his palm.

Then he raised them in front of the Man-Pig and turned his hand to show him.

The Man-Pig’s expression changed instantly. His eyes beneath the mask kept trembling. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.

Both were black pieces!

Those two crystal-clear black game pieces lay in Qi Xia’s hand like two hollow eyes, quietly staring at the Man-Pig, making his skin crawl.

After waiting a while and seeing the Man-Pig say nothing, the corners of Qi Xia’s mouth curved up again. He tossed one of the black pieces back and kept the other.

“I’ve finished choosing.”

After several seconds, the Man-Pig finally understood. “You—you dare trick me?!”

He slapped the table and stood up, wanting to explode immediately, but thinking carefully, Qi Xia hadn’t done anything.

He had only held the pieces up in front of him.

The Man-Pig had miscalculated.

When Qi Xia held the two black pieces in front of him, he should have said something.

Even if it was just a taunt, even if it was just mockery.

Even if it was just urging him to hurry up and make a choice—

But his mistake was in saying nothing at all.

After all, in this situation, only the case of two black pieces would be enough to make someone fall silent.

He thought Qi Xia had left everything to “luck,” but hadn’t expected that at the final moment, he was still engaging in psychological warfare.

The Man-Pig had just been wondering why the man before him would pull out two black pieces at once.

Was his “luck” really that strong?

Now, thinking about it, the other party didn’t know what color pieces he had pulled out at all.

He was watching his reaction.

He would make his next move based on his reaction or words.

The Man-Pig seemed completely defeated. He slowly sat down and said, “I have to admit, you’re not only meticulous in your thinking, but your ‘luck’ is terrifyingly strong.”

Qi Xia placed the piece on the table and slowly removed his blindfold. “Thank you.”

Old Lu jumped up at once, releasing all the joy he’d been suppressing.

“You’re a damn genius!” He excitedly hugged Qi Xia. “Kid, all the grudges between us before are wiped clean! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Qi Xia shook his head helplessly. “Should I thank you for that?”

Lin Qin was also happy for the two of them. Although they hadn’t gained any “Dao” this time, “winning” was something to be happy about.

The Man-Pig walked reluctantly to the side, took ten “Dao” from a box, and handed them to Old Lu.

Old Lu beamed with joy, put the “Dao” in his pocket, then turned to Qi Xia and said, “Kid, it’s not that I don’t want to give you any—this time I paid the ‘entrance fee,’ so please understand.”

Qi Xia didn’t care either. He nodded and stood up. “The ‘Dao’ doesn’t matter. Now I want to know the whereabouts of those two people.”

“Oh, that’s easy.” Old Lu said. “Although I, Old Lu, am stingy, I absolutely distinguish clearly between grudges and favors. Come with me. This morning I saw those two people outside a game room.”

“Excellent.” Qi Xia and Lin Qin both nodded and stood up to leave.

“Hey…” the Man-Pig called out.

The three turned around blankly. “What is it?”

“What’s your name?” The Man-Pig stared at Qi Xia and asked.

“Qi Xia.”

“Qi Xia…” The Man-Pig repeated it once, then slowly sat down at the table, seeming to ponder something.

After waiting a long time, the Man-Pig still didn’t speak, leaving everyone somewhat bewildered.

“Did winning too much at once drive this dead pig crazy?” Old Lu said in a low voice. “He probably can’t make ten ‘Dao’ in an entire day.”

“Crazy?” Lin Qin curled her lips. “They were already crazy to begin with…”

Just when everyone had gathered their things and prepared to leave, the Man-Pig finally spoke.

“Qi Xia.”

Hearing the Man-Pig call his name, Qi Xia turned around again, his expression somewhat impatient. “What is it now?”

“I want to gamble with you one more time. This time I want to bet our lives.” The Man-Pig said in a calm tone.

Hearing these words, the three stood there blankly for a while.

As if none of them could understand what the Man-Pig meant.

“Wh… what?!” After Old Lu reacted, he suddenly took a big step back. “You dead pig have really gone crazy?!”

Lin Qin also hurriedly grabbed Qi Xia’s arm. “Let’s not pay attention to him…”

After hearing this, Qi Xia frowned. “I refuse.”

“Refuse?” The Man-Pig crossed his arms in front of his chest. “You want to refuse?”

“That’s right.” Qi Xia nodded. “I can’t possibly bet my life when I only have a fifty percent chance of winning. This has no meaning for me.”

Old Lu turned his head and looked at Qi Xia suspiciously. “Kid… what nonsense are you talking about…”

“What’s wrong?” Qi Xia turned his head. “You also think I should bet my life?”

“This isn’t a question of ‘should or shouldn’t’!” Old Lu anxiously stomped his feet. “In this godforsaken place, as long as one party proposes ‘betting lives,’ the other party must accept!”

Qi Xia was slightly stunned, as if understanding something.

When he had proposed betting lives with the “Man-Mouse,” although she was also extremely unwilling, she ultimately accepted.

Now thinking about it, that was a very bizarre decision.

Her game was very simple. If the opponent truly chose to bet lives, nine times out of ten they had found a way to break it.

Under such unfavorable conditions for her, she should have refused no matter what, right?

But she didn’t at the time.

So as long as someone proposed “betting lives” here, it would forcibly establish a life-or-death contract?

If this rule was broken, adjudicators like “Zhu Que” would descend from the sky and punish those who violated the rules.

Qi Xia’s expression became extremely cold. That Zhu Que couldn’t wait to kill him. If he chose to flee now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What was even more desperate was that all the tactics Qi Xia had just used would become ineffective when used a second time, and the probability of failure would increase dramatically.

“Don’t be afraid.” The Man-Pig seemed to see through Qi Xia’s thoughts and spoke. “I’m not such an unreasonable pig. This time we’ll change to a more interesting game.”

He pulled out two pairs of glasses from a box on the side and placed them on the table.

“These are good things I borrowed from Brother Goat…”

Everyone looked closely. These glasses weren’t any different from ordinary glasses, except at the nose bridge between the eyebrows, there was a small device of unknown purpose.

“You two, I need you to help me with something.” The Man-Pig said with a foolish smile.

“Help?” Old Lu immediately pouted. “Help you? Impossible.”

“If you don’t agree, I’ll announce that I’m betting lives with all of you.” The Man-Pig said in a strange tone.
