I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 590: Choosing the Number
 

“Alright, alright~” Bai Youwei had a positive attitude and seemed very enthusiastic.

Though enthusiastic, her speed remained slow.

On the road, she tried to squeeze information out of the woman with the scarf while idling, but the woman was tight-lipped and didn’t talk much.

Perhaps Xu Fanghe had warned her about something privately…

Bai Youwei made various assumptions in her mind and thought of all possibilities. Before she knew it, she had arrived at Xu Fanghe’s residence.

A few individuals with yellow eyes gathered together. When they saw the woman with the scarf and Bai Youwei coming, they all looked at them and quickly looked away.

Bai Youwei found it amusing.

She was used to people’s curious or inquisitive gazes, but these people just glanced at her and hurriedly diverted their eyes.

If no one had instructed them, she did not believe they would have such a reaction.

Wouldn’t they find it strange to encounter a cripple in the game? Isn’t a pretty girl in a wheelchair deserving of more than just a glance?

They didn’t even take an extra moment to look.

Bai Youwei silently curled her lip, convinced that something fishy was going on.

Most likely, Xu Fanghe had instructed them beforehand to avoid making too much eye contact with her, especially not to stare at her eyes, to prevent arousing her suspicion.

This Japanese doctor was indeed meticulous, but by attempting to be crafty, he had inadvertently alerted Bai Youwei that something was amiss.

Bai Youwei couldn’t help but think: Is this the extent of his skills? If he could recruit so many subjects, he must have some other means, right?

All players have now arrived.

Xu Fanghe, ever the gentleman, spoke, “I presume everyone is clear about the rules of the game. We are currently lacking clues about the X guest, so all we can do now is try to avoid being eliminated. However… the current situation is not in our favor.”

Xu Fanghe looked around, continuing, “There are only 9 of us with yellow eyes. It seems that the distribution of red, yellow, and blue eyes is not even.”

Bai Youwei listened and pondered.

Out of the 30 players, there were 9 with yellow eyes. Removing herself as an imposter, only 8 remained. So it was easy to deduce: the total number of red and blue eyes was 22.

If these 22 votes all went to those with yellow eyes, just one round of voting would lead to the defeat of the yellow eyes.

Of course, this scenario was unlikely to occur. After all, most players’ numbers were confidential at this stage.

Unless red eyes and blue eyes formed an alliance, and exchanged numbers openly in the first round? It was improbable.

The conclusion Xu Fanghe came to was not much different from Bai Youwei’s.

“If 21 votes want to eliminate 5 people, each person will need an average of 4 votes, but since it’s only the first round, I believe more people are observing, and it’s unlikely red eyes and blue eyes would ally and overlap their votes this early.”

“We need to at least eliminate three players in this round while the two sides are not united.”

He slowly analyzed the situation with everyone, calm and steady, almost unconsciously instilling trust.

“Only by reducing the number of people lost each round compared to the others can we gain the advantage. Currently, we have a total of 9 votes, so we will distribute them as 3+3+3 when voting…”

“Dr. Xu Fanghe.” A worried voice said, “Will three votes be too little? From what I see, wouldn’t it be more prudent to divide them as 5+4?”

A young man next to the doctor retorted displeasedly, “Dr. Xu Fanghe arranged it this way for a reason! If you don’t understand, don’t recklessly suggest a plan!”

“Not at all, it’s my fault for not explaining clearly to everyone,” Xu Fanghe explained gently. “Our numbers are few, if we only manage to eliminate two of them, our disadvantage will be even greater in the next round, so even if 5+4 is more secure, it is meaningless to us…”

Another person asked, “Then… which numbers should we vote for?”
