Seeing the performance of the little wooden stick, Xizhe frowned and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to stop. But it was no use. As soon as he let go, the small wooden stick immediately started spinning wildly in circles again.
"this-"
Xizhe's brows furrowed into a knot. The next moment, he pulled out the small wooden stick, looked sharply, and with a "click" he broke the small wooden stick into two pieces, one on the left and one on the right, and inserted them into the soil in front of him.
As a result, I saw that as soon as the small wooden stick was put into the ground, it started spinning in circles again, one circle to the left and one to the right, as if it was possessed by a maniac.
"this-"
Xizhe was completely confused and couldn't help but turn to look at Su next to him. He saw Su opened his eyes and shook his head at Jasmine. Apparently, he had not lost the clue of the blue seal.
That…
The atmosphere in the venue became a little depressing, and everyone had lowered their eyebrows, especially Hulk, who knew he had made a huge mistake and did not dare to breathe.
There were only two small wooden sticks inserted into the soil, spinning faster and faster, looking extremely happy, and making a "soooo" sound.
Xizhe was a little irritated after hearing this, and waved his hand to take back the stick.
At this moment, the two small wooden sticks stopped and pointed in one direction at the same time.
Um
Before anyone could react, the small wooden stick flew out like a bullet, whizzing towards a mass of transparent air in the distance.
After flying dozens of meters, the small wooden stick seemed to have hit transparent glue, and its speed suddenly slowed down, getting slower and slower. It was about to be unable to maintain flight and land.
At this time, a hand appeared from the air and grabbed two small wooden sticks.
Following this hand, an arm emerged from the air, then a shoulder, a head, a torso, and finally formed a complete person - Richard.
The eyes of Jasmine and the others quickly fell on Richard. To be precise, they fell on Richard's other hand. There was a seal in that hand, which was the blue seal that belonged to them.
"It looks like you are looking for something. Are you looking for this?" Richard glanced at Jasmine and the others, raised his hand slightly, and asked slowly.
Jasmine's expression became a little exciting, Su's eyes kept flashing, and the old man Xizhe couldn't see clearly because of the mask, but he could tell from the constant rubbing of his fingers that he was not at peace inside.
Hulk had the biggest reaction. His eyes widened and he looked at the seal in Richard's hand. He was a little unbelievable at first. Then he thought of a possibility and asked loudly: "You... how did you get it?"
Richard glanced at Hulk and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Jasmine and said slowly: "You should keep such a precious thing well. I guess you should have been wary of me snatching it away, so you chose to keep this thing." Putting things on 'the person who seems to be the least likely to have them'. The idea is good, but is it just the result..."
At the end of the sentence, Richard shook his head with a sigh.
He didn't say clearly whether he got it from Hulk in some way, or whether he picked it up after Hulk lost it. In fact, there is no need to say it explicitly, because it is no longer important.
The important thing is that he now has two seals and has mastered all the conditions to open the ancient ruins. What he currently lacks is the specific location of the ancient ruins, how to enter them, and the information about the ancient ruins that Jasmine and her team have.
In other words, if he was still not dominant before, then the balance of dominance has now tilted significantly to his side.
And this was the real purpose of playing games with Jasmine and her friends: he knew very well that winning or losing the game, showing strength or not, was just about being dominant on the surface. As long as one party has a seal, either party can go back on it at any time, and there is no other way. After all, only the cooperation of two parties can open the tomb.
But now, it's different. He got two seals, and he can cooperate with Jasmine and her group, or not. If he chooses the latter, it may take him a lot of time to find the location of the real ruins, and the exploration process will be more difficult. But no matter what, at least he can explore, but Jasmine and her group won't even be able to enter the ruins if they don't cooperate with him.
Richard looked at Jasmine with a smile and said slowly: "Okay, now the game is over. My statement remains unchanged. If I win the game, then I must divide the proceeds from exploring the ruins 50-50 with you - this is only fair. You guys If you can agree, then we will set off immediately. Of course, you can also not agree, then I will find a way to go by myself, it is all up to you."
After hearing this, Jasmine's subordinates all looked sideways at Hulk, and the blame in their eyes was obvious: If Hulk hadn't lost the seal, the scene would not be like this.
Hulk was so ashamed that he couldn't help lowering his head, occasionally looking at Richard with an annoyed expression.
Jasmine, on the other hand, kept calm and thought about Richard's words calmly. After a while, she said, "Is it fair... I thought that after you got the two seals, you would take the opportunity to ask for more allocation shares."
"I have indeed thought about it." Richard said calmly, without deliberately showing that he was morally noble, and explained aloud, "But I can also imagine that if your interests are squeezed too much, then you will probably give up cooperation and choose to cause trouble for me. .
If you give up your cooperation, I will lose the addresses of ancient ruins and a lot of information. It will take a lot of time to replace these missing things. My time is precious and I don't want to do this.
In addition, it will be even worse if you choose to cause trouble, such as lying in ambush at the entrance of the ruins and trying to ambush me, or even following me into the ruins, deliberately causing some disaster and then evacuating.
The reason why I explore the ruins is just to see what the ancient ruins look like and to get some interesting things inside to study, so that I can break one of my current research bottlenecks. I value this exploration more, but it doesn’t have to be successful. So, I try my best to make it as good as possible, but I don’t need to do whatever it takes to make it look ugly.
That's why I emphasize fairness. There are things you want in the ruins, and there are things I want. Cooperative exploration and fair and equal distribution will be good for you and me. "
"I have to admit that you are more rational than I thought." Jasmine said after listening.
"Thank you for the compliment. As long as you agree, if there is no problem, let's set off." Richard said.
"Wait a minute." Jasmine said, still working hard to fight for her own interests. She looked at Richard and said, "Don't be anxious, some things should be explained clearly."
"What?"
"Although you have determined the fairest distribution method - half for each person, how to implement it specifically?" Jasmine asked, "For example, if there is something that we all like, how do we decide who belongs to it?"
"You can choose in turns. For example, after entering the ruins, the first item belongs to you, then the second item will belong to me, the third item will belong to you, and the fourth item will belong to you. To me. During the process, you can also temporarily give up the ownership rights and give them all to me, and then exchange them for the ownership rights of several consecutive items."
"But you can only distribute items with little difference in value." Jasmine said, "The prerequisite for doing this is to be able to determine the value of the item. What if the value of the item cannot be determined? For example, several broken spells whose value cannot be determined Props, and a bunch of powdered spell materials with unknown functions.”
"It's very easy to handle." After hearing this, Richard said almost without thinking, "This is the simplest problem in mathematics of dividing a cake between two people."
"Huh?" Jasmine seemed not to have heard clearly and asked, "What do you mean? Please explain."
Two minutes later, she began to regret saying those words.
