Chapter 88: Win Rate Rankings
The Ultimate Rich Kid was the first to speak: [I think it's definitely fake. Although I didn't see Jiang Ran's other personality last time, I saw this one! It's twisted, ruthless, and artistic. As for Jiang Ran himself... well, judging from his performance these past days, he seems completely ordinary. So when that effeminate personality said they couldn't take over, I simply don't buy it.]
The Domineering Female CEO responded: [I don't believe it either.]
Middle-aged Uncle chimed in: [Then here's the question - if everyone thinks Jiang Ran's main personality is just an ordinary person, why does he control the body almost all the time? Why don't the other personalities take over more often?]
The Domineering Female CEO replied: [Hasn't Jiang Ran been taking medication for this? If other personalities could frequently emerge, the medicine would be useless. Plus, as the original personality, shouldn't he have inherent advantages?]
Most viewers in the live stream room shared similar opinions.
They believed the effeminate personality's words were pure nonsense.
What nonsense about the main personality being too domineering to compete with.
The real reasons should be either the medication's effect or the other personalities weakening each other through internal conflict.
Regardless of the truth, one thing became certain:
The live stream audience now believed Jiang Ran might be the hardest lab rat to kill in history. To stage a comeback after being shot in the head? Absolutely legendary!
He might even break the record for most survival rounds!
The final moments of Round 26 passed quickly.
It was now the last half hour of the final day of Round 26.
When the clock struck midnight exactly, the round would officially end.
In the familiar studio of the live stream room, the Long-haired Beauty host gracefully appeared with delicate steps.
Tonight, she remained as stunningly beautiful as ever.
Parting her red lips, she announced the results of Round 26:
"Lab rat Jiang Ran has survived Round 26."
"Lab rats Xiao Q, Ke Bei, and Li Mengmeng failed to regain freedom and remained trapped when Round 26 ended."
"Lab rat Zhou Wu has died."
"Therefore, the winners of Round 26 are lab rat Jiang Ran and those who bet on him."
Upon hearing the final verdict, those who had bet on Jiang Ran erupted in celebration within the live stream room.
The Long-haired Beauty host continued:
[Total bets placed on the five lab rats this round: 137.99 million. This will be divided proportionally among those who bet on Jiang Ran.]
[With Round 26 concluded, please wait patiently for Round 27 to begin.]
The host disappeared into the darkness.
The live stream room wouldn't fully close for another thirty minutes, allowing continued discussion.
The Ultimate Rich Kid @Middle-aged Uncle: [Uncle, you bet 5 million on Jiang Ran, right? How much did you win this time?]
Middle-aged Uncle replied: [Oh, not much. Including my original 5 million, the total came to 11 million. Small change, really! Just pocket money!]
Though his actual expression remained unseen, his barely contained excitement bled through his words.
The Ultimate Rich Kid: [Damn! You made 6 million? And you call that small change?]
Middle-aged Uncle: [It really isn't much. You should have seen Round 25 - Diamond Bachelor Wang bet only 580,000 on Jiang Ran and walked away with over 70 million! Now that's a real player! Truly deserving of his top spot on the betting win rate leaderboard!]
Fairy Sister chimed in: [Speaking of Brother Wang, who did he bet on this round? Did he win?]
Middle-aged Uncle: [Probably Jiang Ran again. Last round, when the odds were completely against Jiang Ran, Brother Wang still bet on him. He must have done the same this time!]
Suddenly, Little Aunt interjected excitedly: [Wrong! Brother Wang didn't bet on Jiang Ran this time! He bet on Xiao Q!!! So he lost this round!]
Many viewers expressed shock at this revelation.
Why believe in Jiang Ran last round but not this one?
Especially after Jiang Ran revealed his dissociative identity disorder and demonstrated his formidable alternate personality?
Many @Diamond Bachelor Wang for explanation, but he remained silent.
The Domineering Female CEO commented: [One loss means nothing. Brother Wang still holds a commanding lead on the leaderboard. Though I also bet on Xiao Q this round... another loss for me...]
As the final thirty minutes dwindled, with the live stream about to close, viewers rushed to get in their last words.
Middle-aged Uncle: [Alright everyone, let's wait for Round 27! This Round 26 has been my most profitable ever! I'm so excited! After the stream ends, I'll donate 3 million to charity - build up some good karma and virtue to keep my winning streak going!]
The Ultimate Rich Kid: [Hurry up with Round 27! I want to place bets too! I'm coming for that top spot on the leaderboard!]
[By the way, I've always wondered - does being first on the betting win rate leaderboard come with any special privileges or benefits? Or is it just for bragging rights?]
Middle-aged Uncle answered: [There are indeed privileges.]
[The top three on the win rate leaderboard each have special privileges.]
The Ultimate Rich Kid pressed: [What kind of privileges?]
Middle-aged Uncle explained: [Let's start with third place.]
[Third place can transfer one psychopathic criminal from another country's Alice Apartment to ours.]
[Second place can order a psychopathic criminal in Alice Apartment to kill one lab rat.]
[First place gets both privileges combined - they can transfer a criminal from another country's Alice Apartment AND order a local criminal to kill a lab rat.]
The Ultimate Rich Kid was stunned.
He waved frantically: [Wait! What? Other countries have Alice Apartments too? This twisted place, this insane live stream - it exists in other countries too?]
Middle-aged Uncle replied: [Reportedly, every country has one. Each with their own live streams. How else do you think they so easily caught that 5 billion dollar runaway rich kid from overseas? The forces behind Alice Apartment operate beyond our imagination.]
This revelation shocked the Ultimate Rich Kid more than anything since he started watching.
He never imagined this operation was global in scale.
As the live stream's final minutes counted down, he quickly checked the win rate leaderboard's top three:
1st: Diamond Bachelor Wang
2nd: Romantic Swordsman
3rd: I Love Eating Shit
