boom!
There was a loud bang.
The meteorite fell to the earth, and Wuming and Wang Zong hit the ground soon after. After hitting the ground, they exerted force as soon as they approached the fishing rod and stretched out their hands.
Finally, Wuming held the handle of the fishing rod, and Wang Zong held the shaft of the fishing rod.
They both looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Let go!"
However, neither of them let go, but just stared at each other angrily.
Boom!
There was a roar of thunder, and other stones began to fall from above one after another.
Wuming thought for a moment and said, "It's boring to keep going like this. How about we play rock-paper-scissors, best of three, and the loser lets go?"
"… "
Wang Zong narrowed his eyes and wondered whether Wuming’s suggestion would be beneficial to him.
Given the reaction speed of the two people, basically no one can cheat the other, so rock-paper-scissors is indeed a relatively fair way.
The question is what if you lose
Cheating
Once you start cheating, you will inevitably fall into an endless stalemate because no one will trust anyone anymore.
The Endless Voyage was still sailing, and once it reached the end point, the two people's catches would be calculated. He had only caught one fish, while Wuming had caught many fish, even two big fish.
In other words, the stalemate is actually beneficial to Wuming, but Wuming is not aware of this.
Wang Zong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's play rock-paper-scissors. The loser should let go."
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to cheat. The key is... don't cheat." Wuming smiled slightly.
Wang Zong would naturally not cheat. After all, a stalemate would only be increasingly disadvantageous to him. Regardless of whether he could get the fishing rod or not, delaying time would only bring him closer to failure.
If he had the upper hand, he would have hoped that Wuming would continue to stalemate with him, but the problem was... he was at a disadvantage.
Then the two raised their hands and looked at each other seriously.
Rock, paper, scissors, is just a small game, but it actually contains many psychological games. It is an enlightenment-level game suitable for all ages. I believe that most people have been exposed to it when they were children. Even as adults, they will occasionally play rock, paper, scissors with friends at the dinner table, and the loser will drink a glass of wine as a penalty.
Wuming and Wang Zong stared at each other, and Wuming said, "Next time there's thunder, we'll attack at the same time!"
"Okay." Wang Zong said lightly.
Then he looked up at the sky and said to himself, "Next I will play the stone!"
"… "
Wuming was not shaken, he just raised his left hand and waited for the thunder to sound.
"Wuming will definitely not believe what I said, and will definitely guess my intentions. Since I said rock with the intention of forcing him to play paper, he can guess that I will play scissors.
But this most basic speculation will inevitably be seen through, and then the next round of speculation will begin.
Since he guessed that I wanted him to play rock to meet my possible scissors, then I might play paper to counter his rock..."
Wang Zong kept calculating in his mind.
In fact, the logical relationship is not complicated. The question is how many rounds will Wuming make such speculations
After all, there are only three options in rock-paper-scissors. After round after round, it is actually a reincarnation. Once you guess Wuming's thoughts wrong, you may end up in a disaster.
