"15% every ten minutes, compound interest settlement. The estimated duration of this river cruise is 4 hours, which means that the interest is about 40% at most."

As soon as the gloomy man said this, he immediately caused an uproar.

Even for loan sharks, there is rarely an outrageous compound interest calculation method that calculates interest every 10 minutes.

In particular, an old man with almost white hair and square-rimmed glasses was very excited. He stood up and shouted at the gloomy man: "We are already heavily in debt, are you going to squeeze us dry?"

”

Hearing this sentence, Zhuge Ping cheered up. This old man must be Ishida. Judging from the plot of the original work, Ishida is one of the few good people in the play whose character can be trusted.

Zhuge Ping's subsequent plan requires at least one person to cooperate. If this person is Ishida, the plan will go much smoother.

Ishida was still questioning the gloomy man excitedly at this moment. Faced with the doubt, the gloomy man smiled slightly:

"It doesn't matter. If you think our rules are unreasonable, you can get off the ship now. But we provide everyone with an opportunity to pay off all debts at once.

If you are willing to work hard for ten years and pay off your debts in twenty years, then get off the ship and I will not stop you."

After these words, the scene became quiet.

Soon, everyone agreed to this rule.

"How about it, Mr. Ishida, how much can I borrow?" the gloomy man asked.

"One million, damn it." Ishida struggled to make a decision.

"Thank you for your patronage." The gloomy man bowed pretendingly, "I'd like to invite the next one."

With this beginning, everything else will fall into place.

"Zawamura, 1 million."

"Nakamura, 1 million."

……

Everyone basically borrows money according to the prescribed minimum amount. After all, the more you borrow now, the more interest you will pay back later.

At this time, a strong man stood up.

"Hehehehe... One by one, they don't even know what they are going to do. They are really stupid."

As he spoke, he walked up to the gloomy man: "Funai, the maximum limit is 10 million."

The sudden appearance of the alien caused an uproar, but Funai himself looked very satisfied.

"Funai, he has appeared. He is also a key figure." Zhuge Ping thought to himself.

Speaking from the original work, this is not the first time Funai has boarded a ship. He is familiar with the rules of the game and has the ability to play tricks.

Others come on board to pay off debts, while he comes on board to make money.

He asked for the maximum loan amount from the beginning, because he knew that the money would be the capital for the game later. The more capital someone has, the greater the room for manipulation.

But you must know that the game on this ship has always been a zero-sum game. If someone wins, someone must lose, and those who lose are said to face imprisonment, forced labor and human experimentation, which is basically a dead end.
p>

So Funai is a villain who knows that he will kill others, but still decides to take the initiative to seek wealth and kill others.

There must be more than one villain like this on the boat right now.

Soon, several more people came up and asked for 10 million.

Zhuge Ping silently remembered the names and appearances of these people.

It wasn't until everyone had finished borrowing money that Zhuge Ping walked forward calmly.

"Ito, 10 million."

In order to make it easier to carry and conceal, all people who borrowed large amounts of cash were issued two leather holsters (similar to the ones policemen wear under their armpits) to hold the money.

At the same time, everyone received two paper bags. A and B were written on the paper bags respectively.

Zhuge Ping touched through the paper bag. In the thicker bag, he could find something like a stack of cards.

At this time, everyone felt a shock under their feet. Immediately afterwards, the ship began to move.

"Please move to the lobby."

Tonight's gambling game is finally about to begin.

It was supposed to be a night full of intrigue, dirty victories and desperate defeats.

But everything will be different if a wall hanging comes in.

After receiving the props, the group filed into the venue under the guidance of the man in black.

In front of him is a stout old man, standing on the podium, who is the person in charge of this gambling-Tonegawa.

"Welcome everyone to the Hope. This is a place for hopeless people like you to make a comeback. It is a one-night gambling competition only."

Next, Tonegawa asked everyone to open the paper bags they received and take out the props.

There are 12 cards in a paper bag. The backs of the cards are all the same, and the card faces are painted with three hand shapes: rock, scissors, and cloth. Each person has four rocks, four scissors, and four cloths. This

That's the content of this gamble - rock, scissors, paper.

In another bag, there are three five-pointed star badges made of metal. Before entering the venue, each gambler has a small scoreboard fixed on his left chest. These three stars can be hung on the scoreboard.

, the scoreboard is very big, and besides these three stars, there is still a lot of room for wealth.

As Tonegawa explained, two men in black began to imitate the contestants and demonstrate.

The two of them stood at both ends of a gambling table. There was a gap in the center of the gambling table that resembled a mailbox delivery port.

In the first step, each person takes out a card and holds it up to their heads with the back of the card facing the other. After both parties hold the card steady, they each shout "Check".

In the second step, the two people place the cards in their hands on the card table with their backs facing up. After leaving their hands, they shout "set" (put the cards).

In the third step, both of them open the cards on the table at the same time and shout "open".

Every game must be composed of these three steps. After the cards are drawn, the winning or losing is determined based on the content of the cards on both sides. It is the same as the most common rock-paper-scissors. Rock wins scissors, scissors wins paper, and paper wins rock. If both sides are the same

It’s a draw.

But there are two special points: First, the cards used in each round must be thrown into the gap in the middle of the card table and cannot be used again. In other words, no matter whether they win or lose, each time the contestant plays a round, there will be one less card in his hand.

Play cards.

Second, all cards thrown into the box will be counted, and there is a scoreboard hanging high on the field. From the scoreboard, everyone can see the type and number of cards currently left on the field in real time.

.A total of 103 people participated in this competition. The current sign shows 412 scissors and hammers each.

After each game, the loser must pick one of his own stars and give it to the winner. If there is a tie, the stars will not be transferred.

"The competition lasts four hours," Tonegawa concluded. "If you have at least three stars in your hand at the end, even if you win, you can write off the debt you incurred outside before boarding the ship. However, the cards must be used up and cannot be discarded privately.

."

"What will be the consequences if we lose?" someone asked.

But Tonegawa did not answer. He just told them that when they came here, they should not think about anything else, just victory, only victory.
Chapter completed!
