"How do you know that the gold for the fourth question is five kilograms?" the girl asked skeptically.
"It's simple. The first time I received a reward of about one kilogram, the second time you got more than I did, which I estimate to be around two kilograms—you should know that yourself. And for the third time, I received a reward of three kilograms. You see, there's a clear pattern!
The reward for the third time is the sum of the first and second times, so there won't be a tie. Therefore, the reward for the fourth time must be the sum of the second and third times, which is two kilograms plus three kilograms, equaling five kilograms."
The chubby boy spoke confidently, completely ignoring the clue that the total prize was 2.5 million yuan.
"Well, what you said makes some sense; you're definitely smarter than me," the girl replied thoughtfully. "If that's the case, my final reward would be 5.4 kilograms of gold, while yours would be 5.6 kilograms—still a bit heavier than mine."
"So, are you willing to accept this condition?" the chubby boy asked excitedly.
"No!" the girl rejected firmly. "You're smarter than me and my opponent, so I won't listen to you. You must have some scheme."
The Bunny Girl Host began to smile and clap her hands. "That was a clever trick. Congratulations to this lady; you've successfully answered the fourth question."
"I didn't answer anything! I just refused his suggestion!" The girl rushed to the edge of her cage, shouting in panic.
"The answer to the fourth question isn't about giving a response; it's about tricking your opponent into saying 'no'!"
The chubby boy burst into laughter. "I didn't care whether you accepted my proposal; I just wanted you to say that forbidden word. That was my true goal!"
The girl let out a mournful wail that even drowned out the sound of gold falling.
The chubby boy's cage rose once more.
He then gleefully gathered up the scattered gold from the bottom of his cage. "I won! All of this is mine! Damn it, once I get out of here, I want to eat..."
He was stunned because this ascent was unusually brief.
The movement of the cage quickly returned to stillness, then slowly began to descend.
"Why?" The fat man grasped the bars of the cage, looking toward the girl.
All he could hear were dull thuds. Although his eyesight was poor, he could see the girl tossing those shiny golden pieces one by one into the Hydrochloric Acid Pool below.
"What are you doing? You're just throwing them all away?" The fat man gasped a little.
"I'm going to die anyway, so why hold onto these things?" the girl said coldly. "Besides, as long as I get rid of the extra gold, I might be able to survive, and maybe even keep one or two pieces for myself."
"Oh my God, do you realize you're essentially burning your money at a hundred to one right now?"
"You can't take it with you when you die, so what's there to cling to?" A woman driven to desperation is more terrifying than anything else.
The fat man looked down at the gold in his hands.
Gold has strong stability as an element, which is why it serves as a universal currency.
High-purity gold can even withstand concentrated Hydrochloric Acid without being corroded.
This meant that even if the girl threw the gold into the Hydrochloric Acid Pool, she could retrieve it later.
But the host had also emphasized that the gold in the cage belonged to the fat man.
Implying that he had no claim over any gold outside of the cage.
As soon as the gold was thrown out of the cage, it was equivalent to returning it to the organizers.
Had they anticipated this outcome all along, which is why they generously offered ten kilograms of gold as a prize to the overweight player?
The fat man glanced at his descending cage, gritted his teeth, and began to toss the gold he held in his hands.
This was the most terrifying aspect of the game.
No matter how much gold one had accumulated before, it all amounted to nothing now.
For the two people in the cage, this was a heart-wrenching tug-of-war.
When the girl in the opposite cage discarded some gold, the fat man had to throw even more to raise his own cage.
But such actions only triggered a vicious cycle of further discarding.
Why wouldn’t the girl in the opposite cage just accept her fate? After all, no one in this world needed her!
The fat man thought bitterly.
What you’re throwing away isn’t just gold; it’s my home, my happiness, and my future!
