Survivorship Bias

    Zhong Yirou raised her eyebrows with a puzzled expression on her face, there was not much time, An Wujiu directly got off platform 2 and took the initiative to stand on her platform 3 to complete the exchange.

    He originally wanted to fight for a high score and open a 2-point gap with Shen Ti who also scored 10 points, but at the last moment, An Wujiu guessed that Yang Erci had already seen his own Purpose.

    Although he is different from everyone else and has no competition, standing in place and letting others choose first is undoubtedly the best way to observe.

    But Zhong Yirou only started to grab the bird catcher position after Yang Erci was blindfolded, and she didn't feel bad about it in the last round, so she was Yang Erci's blind spot.

    I had no choice but to retire and become a blindfolder.

    When Shengyin asked Yang Erci who the fowler was behind him, Yang Erci seemed to be confused and did not give an answer immediately.

    This shows that the exchange tactics worked.

    "An Wujiao." Yang Erci finally gave the answer.

    Zhong Yirou jumped happily and gave An Wujiu a high five. But An Wu Jiu remembered that Sheng Yin said not to make a sound, and didn't want to spoil her, so he reached out and touched her palm very lightly.

    Yang Erci took off the ribbon and looked behind her, a little surprise in her eyes, but Zhong Yirou was very happy, and when the mood came, she gave Yang Erci an elegant kiss.

    "The cage outsiders win this round, the caged bird will deduct 5 points, the bird catcher will add 5 points, and the rest of the caged outsiders will add 3 points. At present, the player's scoring situation on the field: player An Wujiu and player Shen Ti - 13 points, player Zhong Yirou - 5 points, player Yang Erci - minus 5 points, and the rest of the players have 3 points."

    "The fourth round of the game begins, please ask Zhong Yirou, the bird catcher of the third round of the game, to enter the cage, stand on the round platform facing the door and blindfold."

    Zhong Yirou did as she did, but when she really stood in the position of the caged bird, the joy of victory was already washed away by half. Because when she is in this position, the bird catchers she faces are likely to be Shen Ti and An Wujiu.

    "Ask the caged bird to name a number."

    Zhong Yirou thought about it, "3."

    The bird catcher needs to stand on platform 1 to move 3 more times to get behind her.

    This is the last round, and it is still a very crucial opportunity for Zhong Yirou to fight back.

    Once she wins, add 10 points directly to make a total of 15 points, which will become the highest score in the game and win this warm-up match.

      Pull up the score.

    But Zhong Yirou is not sure who will grab this position.

    "The outsider has moved."

    Only then did Zhong Yirou realize that thinking time could pass so quickly when she became a caged bird.

    "The bird in the cage, who is the bird catcher behind you?"

    She spent almost all of her time, breathing deeply and giving answers at the last minute.

    "Shen Ti."

    The few seconds of the holy sound paused in Zhong Yirou's eyes.

    "Caged bird, look back."

    Be sure to fight back successfully.

    Zhong Yirou took off the ribbon and turned her face.

    Behind him is An Wujiao who is standing upright with a gentle expression.

    Zhong Yirou angrily pinched her people, stomped her feet, the heels of her high heels hit the ground, and then squatted down in anger.

    "It's just one step away! It's just one step away! Oops, I'm so **** off."

    Seeing her like this, An Wujiu showed some regrets in his eyes, and then he spread his hands to her reluctantly, and said in a gentle tone, "Why did you choose Shen Ti?"

    "Yes." Shen Ti was on platform 2 next to An Wujiu, he squatted down and looked at Zhong Yirou.

    Zhong Yirou fell into her own chagrin, she thought she would change her bicycle into a motorcycle, but even the bicycle keys flew away.

    "I originally wanted to choose the blameless, because you don't seem to have the will to win or lose, but I thought about it again, what if you have it? You are completely uncertain. "

    “Then I think if you want to win. An Wujiu may get used to you and let you be the first. Because he is a very clumsy person.”

    "I didn't expect it." Zhong Yirou shook her head, stood up, and found that Wu You, who likes to pretend to be cool, was smiling, "You really disappointed me Shen Ti."

    Shen Ti also stood up, thinking still stuck in the previous sentence Zhong Yirou said, "He is used to me?"

    "Why didn't I get used to him?"

    An Wujiu immediately cleared it up, "I won by my own ability."

    Zhong Yirou sighed and left the cage.

    "Forget it, I originally gave the 5 points without any guilt, so I should pay it back."

    After she walked out, the holy voice sounded again.

    "Game over."

    The huge golden birdcage disappeared, leaving only the Holy Voice alone in the empty hall announcing the final result.

    “The current score of the players on the field: An Wujiu has 18 points, Shen Ti has 16 points, Wu You, Nan Shan and Josh have 6 points, Zhong Yirou has 0 points, and Yang Erci loses 2 points.”

     "Congratulations to player An Wujiu for winning the first place in this round of warm-up matches."

    Games are so dramatic.

    Yang Erci, who was very smart and reacted to the rules in the first game, scored a full eight points lower than the players who lay flat all the way, and Zhong Yirou, who was only one step away from victory, was busy with the score But returned to zero.

    An Wujiu popped out a blue gift box.

    "Congratulations! Before initializing the game for everyone, you can open your rewards."

    An Wujiu is a little surprised, is it the other way around this time?

    He reached out and touched the blue box, the gift box opened automatically along with the happy music, and many ribbons and shiny gold paper appeared inside.

    The pop-up was too sudden, and it all hit An Wujiu's face, making him a little dazed.

    In the box, there are two red cards with the word [Reward] written on them.

    He picked up the card and turned it over. One of the backs said [Game Versus Format Selection], and the other had [Easter Egg Card].

    The holy voice appeared: "Player is safe, now open the reward time, in order to protect your reward, during the following period, other players present will completely block the conversation between you and me until the reward Dispatch is over."

    It's quite human.

    Please "Please select the mode of confrontation in this round of the official game from the following two options."

    Soon, a line of words appeared in front of An Wujiu.

    [1. Individual battles (players form their own camps), 2. Team battles (players are randomly divided into two groups, winners advance, losers are eliminated)]

    "Random..." An Wu Jiao's voice was soft and low.

    He won the game this time to be able to choose the team game.

    But he ignored the grouping rules. If it was a random team, he had no idea what the team would be like.

    Very out of place, the 24-hour picture of returning to reality appeared in his mind.

    Emotional connection in the [altar] is very dangerous to reason.

    Being deceived, influencing decisions, and even dying.

    An Wujiao is clear.

    "Personal battle." He looked up.

    "Are you sure?"

    He nodded, and suddenly wanted to ask if there was a possibility of non-team team battles in the future, but he quickly gave up the question.

    Because it's unfair.

    "Okay, your second reward is an uncommon egg card, which means you're lucky."

    Really? An Wujiu is skeptical of Shengyin's words.

    "But the premise of the redemption of easter eggs is that you must survive this round of the game, otherwise it will be invalid."

    Sure enough.

    "It's too bad it can't be transferred to someone else?"

    "It is not transferable, but you can entrust others to draw cards. An Easter egg card has three chances to be drawn, if you are lucky, you may be able to draw in any game at the altar. A special skill card that is used differently, but it can only be used once."

    "For example," he said a very exciting skill card, "Resurrection card, this is an SSS-level rare card, but it is not impossible to draw."

    An Wujiu suddenly felt that Shengyin was like an extreme MLM organization propagandist, talking about a wonderful proposal that is exciting, but the probability of realization may be almost zero.

    "Okay." An Wujiu accepted it perfunctorily, "As long as I survive this round, I can draw Easter eggs at any time, right?"

    "Yes, as long as you survive this round." Shengyin emphasized, "But the specific draw of rare cards or ordinary cards, or even blank cards, will be handed over to luck."

    An Wujiu has always considered himself to be a very unlucky person.

    So he didn't get too excited, just accepted this precious Easter egg card.

    "Bonus time is over."

    The shielding of others also ended, Shengyin announced, "Player An Wujiu chose personal battle."

      reckless.

    "Now for official game initialization."

    Soon, the hall they were in shattered into countless particles of light in an instant, like annihilation, but soon, those particles of light gathered again and modeled into a whole new world.

    They seem to be initialized in a small dark room, there are no windows, only the uppermost edge of the four walls, the edge of the connecting ceiling, showing a long green light.

    Other than that, there was only a huge dark monitor and a projected keyboard in the room.

    "It's a bit scary here..." Zhong Yirou hugged her arms, feeling the gloomy wind around her, and sighed that she shouldn't wear short-sleeved clothes today, but what she touched was not the skin, but the cloth. She looked down and saw that she was wearing a white coat.

    An Wujiu also felt that the atmosphere was not right.

    Especially the air here is very turbid, and there is a faint smell of blood mixed with excrement.

    "It's a little cold."

    He heard Shen Ti's voice, then felt a man move beside him, standing next to him, arm to arm.

    The holy sound appears.

    "Welcome everyone, the name of this round of games is 'Abandoned Baby Shelter'."

    "This is a charity organization, which aims to accommodate and nurture abandoned infants and young children. The shelter is a pagoda-shaped building with five floors. Because of some accidents, the security of the shelter The system collapses, the entire building is fully closed, you are the people trapped in it, and those who escaped from the tower within 72 hours are considered the [survivors] of this round of the game.”

    "I have a question."

    The Taoist priest Nan Shan, who had been silent for a while now, slowly stretched out a hand, "It's completely closed, how do you escape? We don't even know where we are at the moment. ."

    His tone of voice was a little frivolous, which was somewhat different from the image of Taoist priest in An Wujiu's imagination.

    "You are initialized on the first floor of this containment center." Shengyin said, "Although the security system is broken, there is a backup emergency pre-set system in the containment center, which needs to be restored on the fifth floor. Enter the key in the parent server on the floor, open a special security channel, and leave from the roof of the top floor."

    "This key is divided into five parts, which are stored in a certain room on the fifth floor. You need to go up layer by layer to collect key fragment information, and finally open the door to survival ."

    "These are the rules, and there will be corresponding instructions in the game along with the progress. Please be prepared, players, everything is about to start."

    An Wujiu frowned.

    Listen to the rules, this game does not seem to require as much intrigue as the last round of red and black.

    Is it as simple as collecting information and leaving the closed containment center, without other obstacles to survival?

    The countdown of white numbers has begun to appear above the heads of the seven of them, only 5 seconds.

    After the countdown ended, everything around did not change much, but like a caged bird, music appeared out of nowhere in the entire space, and then a gentle and loving female voice began to sing.

    It's a lullaby.

    "Sleep, sleep,

    My dear baby,

    Mom's hands gently shake you.

    The cradle shakes you to sleep fast,

    Sleeping in the cradle, warm and comfortable…”

    It is obviously a warm song, but at this moment, in this room haunted by the ghostly green light, the taste has changed somewhat.

    "It's really cold here, are we going out of this room?" Josh's voice trembled, he didn't seem to be very good at this type of survival game player.

    An Wujiu reassured him, "Yes, I don't know how difficult it is to leave the room, but there are seven of us, and we can always solve the puzzle together."

    His comfort calmed Josh, "Thank you, because I'm claustrophobic and a little timid."

    "It's okay, I should be able to go out."

    Shen Ti, who was sticking with An Wujiu, was a little unhappy, but he didn't realize that he was unhappy, he just thought it was strange.

    So he tapped An Wugui's shoulder with his finger, "Hey."

    An Wujiu turned his head, raised his face to look at Shen Ti, a strange green light shone on his face, there was a subtle sense of harmony.

    Shen Ti opened his lips and deliberately made a childish tone, "I'm so scared too."

    An Wu Jiu finally felt cold and goosebumps came out.

    "Guess I believe you?"

    Zhong Yirou, who was standing behind the two of them, reminded Shen Ti in a low voice, "Don't make him look different, I beg you."

    Wu You also said coldly, "Agree."
