Won-young.

Yes?

You can't trick me.

When I saw his initial reaction after coming up,

I knew he was lying

almost immediately.

Compared to when he first went down there

to give us the briefing on the hidden mission,

his expression and the look in his eyes when he came up later

were totally different.

He was scrambling.

That's when I knew.

I realized he was playing us.

I was certain he was hiding something.

I didn't let on in front of the others.

But I felt

you weren't telling the whole truth.

It'll just make things difficult if you lie.

It's not about what you're hiding.

Your eyes...

I know we haven't known each other for that long,

but during our time together,

I've never seen such a helpless look in your eyes before.

Yeah.

I'm sure. I'm 90% certain.

- I feel like... - You suspect he has a hidden motive?

Don't you think there might be something else?

I mean, it would make sense.

If a pardon's involved, the curse can actually be an advantage.

But I don't think the curse itself is a lie.

- That could be his mission. - Rather than just a curse?

But he definitely seems out of it.

Regardless, I think it's only right

that the challenger be rewarded for their success.

Maybe he was given a task where you get a penalty for failure

and an advantage for success.

So you're saying he left that part out?

- It's a possibility. - It's possible that he did.

At first, I fully believed him.

But then,

both Hyun-min and Dong-jae suggested a different possibility.

When I heard them out,

I began to suspect that he didn't give us the whole truth.

On the other hand,

I thought that while Won-young might've kept some details out,

he'd share everything with me when we're alone.

But I don't think he'll just keep this to himself.

If there is something else,

I feel like he'll tell me or a select group later on.

If he does, I'll share with you all.

I don't know what it is,

but I don't think it's something you can handle alone.

You seem overwhelmed.

You're free to share with me if you wish.

I'm here for you if you wanna talk.

Don't worry too much.

There's always a way out.

- I think I'll have to - Yeah?

make some sort of decision tomorrow morning.

I'll let you know then.

All right.

Good work today.

- He's coming back. - Right. Okay.

These Pieces, man...

This is nice.

Good job today.

This feels so nice.

Oh my.

I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight.

Good night.

When I woke up, I noticed a cold draft blowing in from somewhere.

I'm not sure whether it's because my bed's by the door,

but I didn't get much sleep last night.

So this is prison, huh?

It's so cold.

I slept so well.

I guess I'm more suited to prison life than I thought.

It's not bad.

Really? Has the food been upgraded?

- It's pretty good. - I've never tried prison food before.

The guys up there had pig's trotters last night,

so they won't have much of an appetite now.

I bet they're just feeling queasy.

The food here is nice.

I hope they won't walk above me first thing in the morning.

Let's eat.

Did you wake up early because you have a lot on your mind?

No, not at all.

Chicken breast?

I see.

Can I ask you a question?

Regarding the curse,

do you get something if you manage to break it?

Yeah.

You do?

- What is it? - That perk

you can use to pull someone out of prison.

That's what you get?

But it's transferable.

I can give it to someone else and have them pull me out.

So you definitely need to break it.

It can be reserved too.

- As in, you can hold onto it? - Yeah.

Dang, that's amazing.

So I can just hand it over whenever.

It's basically

a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Yeah, exactly.

It's a lovely morning at 7:30 a.m.

Good morning.

I can shower, right?

Amazing. That's an office worker for you.

Good morning, everyone.

Word on the street is that you may have snored a bit.

Yeah, I probably did.

- Do you normally snore? - Yes.

I think I tend to snore a lot when I'm tired.

That's fine. Everyone's like that.

At first, I wasn't reading into it at all, so I didn't suspect a thing.

I just thought that he'd done a good job, but something must've happened down there.

I think if Won-young is hiding anything,

it must mean that the reward is valuable enough to do so.

I mean,

I can more or less get behind it.

But honestly, the fact that he went in there

is a double-edged sword.

He went in there and walked out with exclusive intel.

- That's an upside for him. - Right.

When he decides to share it with us,

- Would he share everything? - can we trust everything?

Right, we can't be sure.

- There was 200 million won on the line. - Right.

There's no way they would've made it that simple.

- I do think there is something. - Right.

If he's holding onto exclusive intel,

that could be a game changer.

- But there's a silver lining. - Which is?

He's not someone who'd feed us false intel.

He could be hiding something.

I don't think he has the acting chops to pull that off.

I'm just not sure how they're gonna play it.

Hopefully, they'll accept us with open arms.

- The players in the living area? - Yeah.

They could end up doubling down.

- But they couldn't have banded together. - Right?

What alliances should we expect?

XITSUH,

you'll be working with Dong-min today, right?

My plan A is probably the leech strategy.

I'll try the leech strategy first.

As soon as I get up there,

I'll get a read on the power dynamics.

- To get a feel for the situation? - Yeah, I'll try to loop you in too.

Right now, there are no alliances at all.

I don't see the five of us banding together at this point.

There are quite a few people up in the living area,

so they're bound to split up to some degree.

So it feels like the smarter play

would be to join one of those two sides.

Come with me, Won-young.

I shared this earlier at breakfast, but you two missed it.

- I've already been cursed. - Right.

If I break that curse...

I get a token.

It's called something like an ascension talisman or a talisman token.

It's a token that'll allow me

to escape prison and go to the living area.

I can give it to someone else

or use it myself.

What do you need to do to break the curse?

Get two people eliminated, as you mentioned yesterday?

Yeah.

Are you talking about something important?

- No, we're not. - We were talking about the curse.

I didn't mention the advantage I'd get if the curse were broken.

- So I shared it over breakfast. - I see.

Yeah.

Is this right?

It feels like I'm making the wrinkles look worse.

Shall I try on the button-down?

I should tuck it in.

- Right. - Okay.

If you're worried about your belly showing.

Belly?

I've never worried about that.

Tuck?

No tuck?

- No tuck. - No tuck.

- Does it look all right? - Yeah, you look good.

- I'm glad. - It suits you.

That's good.

Looks like the players in the living area get a new outfit.

- Yeah, they do. - For the game?

They're glowing.

- They're probably in better shape than us. - That's for sure.

One thing's for certain.

- That outfit makes you look weak. - Yeah.

- Super weak. - Yeah.

Finally, I can feel superior to them.

This prison uniform is nice.

Let's team up.

The way I see it, if we're playing a new game today,

we're back at zero anyway.

I'd say there's a chance

we end up back on the same team.

I'm keeping that door open.

Let's do what we discussed yesterday.

- Four of you. - The four-three alliance.

- Four on one side, three on the other. - Yeah.

- And XITSUH? - If he agrees to join us...

How are they looking down there?

There are five of them, but no one's really taking the lead.

I don't think the five of them will band together.

- If XITSUH doesn't rally those guys, - Yeah.

- they won't be banding together. - Right.

Could we maybe just make one pact?

If you're gonna deceive and betray the rest of us,

at least do it with style.

Make it look impressive.

Make it look like we had no choice but to fall for it.

Make it dramatic.

The main match will begin shortly.

Everyone, please make your way to the game area.

It's finally open.

- Let's go. - Good luck.

- Let's go. - We got this.

- Good luck. - We can do this.

See you in the living area.

Let's try our best.

Good luck.

Hello.

Let's go, everyone.

We head out as soon as the bell rings?

- Everyone! - Hello.

Hello, neighbors.

- Hello. - Hello.

Did you all sleep well?

- Hello. - How'd you sleep?

Are you aspiring chefs now?

"Aspiring chefs"?

- You look like the White Spoons. - You look so smart.

Upstairs looked very fancy.

- Hello. - We're gonna grab a bite first.

We're still very hungry.

Is there food?

- No coffee? - There's pizza.

- Amazing. - Pizza?

Goodness gracious.

Straight into your mouth.

It's good.

Sodium is so nice.

The sodium did its magic.

I got so happy from a slice of pizza.

That's the stuff.

Sodium is so nice.

- Good job hanging in there. - It was nothing.

Dong-min.

Must've been tough down there.

I wanna go upstairs.

Of course.

You will.

How's teamwork looking?

Have the players in the living area bonded?

I'm not so sure about that.

- Really? - Did anything worth mentioning happen?

The players in the living area have acquired prize tokens.

Please insert the prize tokens into their slots.

So those are the slots for the tokens.

- There they are. - This?

Two?

- You managed to secure two? - Yeah.

I guess Won-young secured them.

Oh, that's cool. It lights up.

Amazing.

That's amazing.

200 million won has been added to the prize money.

It's like Squid Game.

So you got your wish.

- I did it for the communal pot. - How'd you do it?

We gathered 12 Pieces.

It was like a cast puzzle.

And you solved that on the first day?

The current final prize stands at 200 million won.

Great.

We will now begin the second main match of The Devil's Plan.

After yesterday's prison match,

Stella Jang and Hong Jin-ho were eliminated.

There are now 12 players remaining.

Before the game begins,

here is the current Piece count for each player.

Currently, Jang Dong-min and Ha Seok-jin hold the most Pieces.

- Five. - Five.

That's humbling.

Now, let me introduce the second main match.

Starting straight away.

Today's main match is

Mystery Stock Market.

- Stocks. - Stocks.

In Mystery Stock Market,

players must figure out the hidden rules of the stock market

to achieve the highest return.

I prefer long-term investment.

Me too.

- That's the way to go, right? - Yeah.

Mystery Stock Market features a total of seven company stocks.

Every stock will open at 10,000 won,

and the floor price will be set at 100 won.

Each player will start the game

with a personal device and 100,000 won in virtual cash.

Every man for himself, huh?

The game consists of a total of 24 rounds, with each round lasting 5 minutes.

- That's fast-paced. - Five minutes?

In every round, players can use their device

to buy and sell stocks of their choice,

and they can also track their holdings and each stock's live price in real time.

Each round will flow directly into the next,

with updated stock prices, trade status, total holdings,

and player assets and rankings displayed on the monitor at the start.

Total holdings refer to the total number of shares

of a given stock that players have purchased and are holding.

Every stock in the exchange has its own price fluctuation rules.

Stock prices will fluctuate every round according to these rules,

and only a part of each rule will be revealed when the game begins.

At the start of Rounds 5, 10, and 15,

hidden parts of the rules will be revealed one by one.

At Round 20, the rules will be fully disclosed.

Sections highlighted in a different color

indicate what will be revealed next.

Additionally, players can use a secret on a single stock

only once throughout the game.

To hide information, I guess.

Activating a secret

will hide that stock's price, trading activity, and total holdings

from other players for two rounds.

For example, if a secret is used in Round 2,

its effect applies in Rounds 3 and 4.

However, if multiple players use a secret on the same stock simultaneously,

the effect applies only once,

and all secrets used will be consumed.

That's gonna get really messy.

While a secret is active,

player rankings will be visible,

but individual asset holdings will not be disclosed.

At any point during the game,

players can spend one Piece to select one stock

and preview the part of the rule that will be revealed next.

So you're battling with Pieces.

Players can also exchange 1 Piece for 10,000 won in virtual cash.

However, Pieces can only be used before Round 20 ends.

Round 20.

The game will conclude once all 24 rounds are completed

in the same manner.

Trades made in Round 24 will be included in the final total assets calculation.

Based on the results,

players in first through fourth place will go to the living area,

and players in fifth through eleventh will go to prison.

The lowest-ranked player will be eliminated.

If there is a tie for last place,

the player who had the lowest total assets during the game will be eliminated.

- I can't go low. - Additionally,

based on the final total assets,

players with 1.5 million won or more will receive 1 Piece,

players with three million won or more will receive two Pieces,

and players with six million won or more will receive three Pieces.

If any player reaches ten million won or more in assets,

a prize token will be given.

The top-ranking player

will be rewarded with an advantage, the alliance token.

- That's amazing. - Quite a haul.

The alliance token can be used to select a player bound for prison

and bring them to the living area.

The devices will now be handed out.

What's up?

There's no mechanism here to eliminate two people.

Yeah, that threw me off too.

Back in the living area,

Won-young said that two people would need to be eliminated.

But the conditions for two eliminations weren't revealed at all in today's game.

This must mean

Won-young has lied at some point.

- Shindong. - I'm here.

PLACE ORDER

EXCHANGE ACCESS GRANTED

All right.

"Banger Steel." I hope the stocks are bangers.

How can you make 10 million with 100,000 won?

Getting 10 million or more out of 100,000 won?

That's kind of my specialty, if I say so myself.

You know I'm a day trading pro, right?

- You are? - Click, click.

I made a lot of money back then.

With accurate information and the confidence to back it up,

I think you can invest aggressively.

I used my Society Game winnings to buy Bitcoin and made a killing.

I think I have a fundamental aptitude for stocks and investments.

The game will begin in 30 minutes.

He must be lying, right?

- He must be. - It doesn't make sense.

But there's no scenario where two people get eliminated.

I'm not sure.

I think Won-young and I have grown a little closer,

and he definitely told me yesterday...

If two players aren't eliminated tomorrow,

I end up cursed.

Only a part of the rules.

All revealed in Round 20.

I'm starting to suspect that he's lying.

I'm not sure. I'll have to see, but something feels off.

It's weird. There's no way two can be eliminated today.

- I know, right? - So--

I actually straight-up asked Won-young about it.

I said, "Hey, it doesn't seem like two people can get eliminated today."

Then he changed the subject.

- He acted a bit weird. - Something's definitely off.

For today,

we thought that Dong-min, Dong-jae, you, and I could work together.

During our discussion last night in the living area...

At the very least, I have to help XITSUH in tomorrow's games.

If XITSUH agrees to join, then it'll be an alliance of eight.

I wanna do everything I can to get XITSUH a good placement today.

So I think he'll be joining us.

Would you be interested in working together today?

- Yes, of course. - Okay.

Just a heads-up about the discussion in the prison.

Since there are seven of you guys and just five of us,

we decided to give up the rivalry and split off to join you guys.

That's what we agreed to do.

How have the players in the living area been reshuffled?

We're the ones hoping to keep the Jang-Oh Alliance in check.

I see.

I'm on board with that.

Are the five players from prison not sticking together?

- We didn't make any sort of pact. - So no pact?

Really?

So the alliance over there has Dong-jae, Hyun-min, XITSUH...

- XITSUH's there? - They took him in?

- Yeah, they teamed up, so-- - I thought they would.

Since Seok-jin has a lot of Pieces, how about we recruit him together?

Dong-min's alliance and my group of four players in the living area

have agreed to join forces.

That was the plan at the start,

but the players from prison started to approach us.

We can bring in the players from prison...

- Weren't we supposed to work with them? - Should we just...

Hold on.

- Let's team up with the prison guys. - You think so?

We can just shut them out from the information we get from Dong-min.

- As in the players from prison. - We could do that.

- That would be best for the four of us. - Yeah, it is.

Then I changed my mind.

If we bring in the players from prison,

we'd know what's happening on both sides.

Then the four of us could navigate things pretty well.

Hold on a second.

The players from prison are pushing

- to join forces right now. - Okay.

Would it be better to gather intel with them

- and share information with you guys? - That sounds better.

- Would you prefer that? - Yeah.

Then, we'll bring in as many as we can

- and work together. - That's better

- because they'll use Pieces for intel. - Right.

- And we can share that with you. - Exactly.

So?

- They agreed. - Then we need to hurry.

I think teaming up is the right call.

When I mentioned it, they agreed, as long as we share the intel.

Shindong, you'll play an important role, but you'll need to move quickly.

- Okay. - In terms of communication.

How many are in your group?

- Nothing has been set yet. - Right.

- I mean-- - Let's discuss it first.

Right now, Dong-min and Hyun-min are working together again.

We did go through a lot together, but we were planning to split up today.

- XITSUH was already set - Oh, really?

- to work with Dong-min anyway. - Yeah.

Because of that alliance,

- If we're being honest-- - we've become leftovers.

- With Dong-min and Hyun-min together, - I know.

the right move to beat them would be to build up numbers.

But this one doesn't feel like a numbers game.

- No, with more intel-- - If you have more intel...

- You're in a better position. - Right.

They said all parts of the rules

get revealed at Round 20, right?

The key is getting the intel before that. Once Round 20 starts...

- It's an even playing ground. - Exactly.

The real power here is the secret.

Don't use your secret under any circumstances.

Let's make the others use up theirs.

In rounds where a secret is active, not only are the stock's details hidden,

but each player's individual total assets are also not revealed.

Additionally, players who hold, buy, or sell the affected stock

cannot check their total asset value or cash holdings on their own devices.

Since each player can only use a secret once,

it must be used at the right moment and with careful consideration.

Up until Round 5, you just have to watch the trends and make guesses.

So if you buy the information

set to be revealed at Round 15 during Round 11,

you can more or less figure out what the rules are.

We need to buy everything at Round 11.

Is it better to learn the information early on?

We can't be sure of anything based on these little bits of info.

We should buy intel when we have a reasonable read on the price

and believe the next reveal will give us the entire rule.

That's when we buy it and use a secret.

So not in Round 1.

The best time to buy is around Round 6 or 11.

It depends on the situation.

But we have more secrets than they do.

We can make it impossible for them to decode the rules.

We'll first quickly find clues about the price movements.

Then we'll use a Piece if we must to deduce the rules as fast as possible.

The key is using the secret to monopolize the information.

Gain the advantage and cut the others out.

I think that will be an important strategy.

So I'd say the person who can deduce the rules faster will win.

There are quite a few sections with the same number of blocks.

Those probably mention another stock.

The name of the company.

But the movement here

isn't linear, is it?

- It reacts to the market conditions. - Of each moment.

Right. What's more, in CoyoTech's case,

one section mentions the buy volume, so it changes depending on our situation.

It can then have a ripple effect on the whole market.

So you could leverage Banger Steel or Mucho Construction

- to drive changes in Analog Electronics. - That's right.

It's not just about tracking the price.

You need to track everything from buying volume to total holdings.

This is completely different from regular stock trading.

This operates within a fixed set of rules.

It's a game of deduction.

That's how stocks are.

Everything feeds into everything else.

Construction and Steel will be tied together.

And CoyoTech and Analog Electronics fall in the same category.

They'll likely move within a reasonable range.

A construction company is most likely to be affected by a steel company.

"The price of Banger Steel..."

It's a construction company, at the end of the day.

- "Price of Alt Ent." - That'd be so random.

It needs to make sense.

- This one is definitely "otherwise." - Right.

For Open Security, the last part must be something like "±1,000 won."

But I'm clueless about the part before that.

- It can't be an amount. - Percentage?

It could be that.

We've got -200 won, +200 won, and +1,500 won.

These are absolute changes.

There's no way you can make ten million won with absolute changes,

so it'll come down to the growth rate.

BANGER STEEL

What's with this spacing?

How can spacing like this even come up?

I think it's "total holdings."

- Something like, "X's total holdings." - Right.

And these two are in opposition to each other.

Your time is up.

Everyone, please gather in the hall.

Round 1 will now begin.

Please begin trading now.

- Are you gonna diversify? - What?

I mean your portfolio.

I'm thinking about it.

- Maybe just buy two? - What?

Maybe just buy two?

Two?

For now, I'm just teaming up with a few people.

We put in 10,000 won each to watch how things move.

OPEN SECURITY: 1 SHARE COYOTECH: 1 SHARE

- For me... - What did you buy?

For now, I wanna buy a share of NotSoGood Capital.

- Between CoyoTech and Analog Electronics-- - One won't make much of a difference.

- No? - You should pick two and commit.

- Then these two? - Do you have a plan?

Go with Ent?

- And then... - It fits with your image.

Ent and Electronics?

Whatever you want.

I'm putting 50,000 won into each of them.

Then I'll go for something else.

Should I go for Capital

and Steel?

I think we must avoid everyone flocking to the same stock.

Some people have to sit out.

- We need to track different scenarios. - Then...

- Right, if we all do something different, - Yeah.

Round 1 might be a good time to share information.

Do what now?

I went with Ent and Electronics.

I went with five shares each of Capital and Security.

Five each?

- That's a lot. - But you don't need to go all in.

- It's fine to buy just a little. - Right.

I think I'm gonna sit out Round 1 and get in at Round 2.

- That should be fine. - Yeah.

We'd have to look at the trading volume and price movement.

Alt Ent's making me so nervous.

- That industry... - I've been warned against it.

- It's short-term. It spikes and drops. - It's rough there.

- They say never to invest in it. - It's really scaring me.

Maybe I should switch to Construction.

- Did you go for Construction or Capital? - Construction is one of the linked ones,

- so it'll see fewer changes. - Then Steel it is.

That's good.

You're not buying this round, right?

I should observe first.

- Don't buy anything yet. - That's my plan.

Diversify individually first,

and when the information starts to come together,

that's when we can make our move.

Here's my guess for this one.

If the price goes up or down, then it sees an X% spike or drop.

I think the next two blocks are, "if unchanged."

Right.

But considering the trends in the stock market,

the first block of Mucho Construction's rule

must mention Banger Steel.

- Right, so another company's name. - Yeah.

So, if X's price...

If you ask me,

we need the verb "changes."

- "If it changes, X%, if not--" - No, not necessarily.

Think about possible changes.

- Like "rise"? - It can rise or fall.

- That's possible. - But my guess is "rise."

It could be something like,

"If Banger Steel's price

rises, +10%."

- "If not, then -X%." - "If not, then -X%"?

I think we should be able to crack this one the fastest.

- This has to be "than," right? - Right.

It could be, "If Analog Electronics' X is greater than

- Buying volume for X. - CoyoTech's buying volume..."

The latter part will talk about the price change.

- It has to be linked to Electronics. - "If not."

These blocks here in Mucho Construction,

- CoyoTech, and Analog Electronics' rules - "If not," right?

all have to be "if not."

It all comes down to information like in real stock.

It's a battle of information.

Even now, you can already get a rough sense of things.

So instead of going in aggressively,

I'll be keeping an eye on the price and a few other factors.

What would cause Banger Steel to fall 200 or rise 200 won?

- This rise or fall is the per-share price. - Right. Per share.

The ones with the most potential right now

are Mucho Construction and Banger Steel.

Would it be okay if I buy ten shares of Steel and sell them right back?

- Ten shares? - So if I buy and sell right away--

- That'd be meaningless. - Yeah.

No, the thing is, we predicted that the buying volume--

That concludes Round 1.

Round 2 will now begin.

Oh jeez.

Here are the updated stock prices.

Let's see.

- It dropped. - Security dropped.

CoyoTech went up.

Who bought CoyoTech?

Seok-jin earned 400 won.

- He made 1,400 won. - He did.

He also bought one that went down 1,000 won.

But how did the sell on CoyoTech come about?

10 SHARES SOLD

I asked a question about the rules at the start.

If you buy 100 shares and sell 100 shares, my account remains unchanged, right?

- Yes, that's right. - Will it be displayed as 0 or 100?

It will be reflected and shared.

They said it'd be reflected, so I thought I'd just try it,

and it seemed like CoyoTech was rising.

Look, someone bought and sold ten shares of CoyoTech.

11 SHARES BOUGHT, 10 SHARES SOLD

- That's what we should be doing. - Oh, I see.

We still don't know the exact rule, but we know it increases by 1,400 won

when you churn out buying and selling volume.

That rule definitely involves interaction with another stock.

- Going by other stocks' buying volume-- - We need to figure out which.

We need to drive up CoyoTech's buy and sell volume.

XITSUH, can you just buy and sell CoyoTech a few times for us?

Buy and sell CoyoTech a few times.

Just a few times.

CoyoTech has had a lot of wash trading going on.

Since the buy and sell numbers are high,

why don't we boost them further to see what happens?

- Just keep cycling through buys and sells? - Yes.

The total trading volume is 21.

If it went up 1,400 won at 21,

there might be some kind of correlation there.

Yeah, it seems worth a shot.

- Let's run some buys and sells. - Yes.

I just cycled through eight shares of CoyoTech.

MUCHO CONSTRUCTION: ▼9,000 WON BANGER STEEL: ▼9,000 WON

OPEN SECURITY: ▼9,000 WON

COYOTECH: ▲11,400 WON ANALOG ELECTRONICS: ▼9,000 WON

Wait, Banger Steel is supposed to move by 200 won only.

Why did it drop 1,000 won?

"With every buy."

- It happens every time? - That might be the condition.

So something happened five times?

What if it falls when you buy and rises when you sell?

Should someone try selling Banger Steel?

Can anyone try selling it?

I have shares.

- Either one of you can do it. - Let's sell one each.

- Just one share each. - Shall we sell one each?

That way, the numbers won't get messy.

I think it drops 200 won every time someone buys,

and goes up every time someone sells.

I think that's right. We'll be able to confirm it soon.

- 200 won per share is definitely right.

Banger Steel is definitely about total holdings.

When its total holdings meet the terms, it's -200 won per share.

Since 5 shares were bought, it came out to -1,000 won.

So, Banger Steel is per share.

The two alliances have a different take on Banger Steel's rule.

The minority alliance believes the per-share price changes

based on the shifts in total holdings.

They're basing it on the steady price drop

that followed the total holdings increase in Round 2.

Meanwhile, the majority alliance believes

it goes down on every buy and up on every sell

based on the price decrease

following the increased buying activity in Round 2.

- Did you buy and sell a few times? - Yeah.

Repeat it a few times.

What should I buy now?

- It might be time to buy CoyoTech. - CoyoTech?

Go all in? Isn't that a gamble though?

I won't.

I need to see one more round first.

Then, I'll join you.

That concludes Round 2.

Round 3 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

Dang, we all went up.

I told you.

This is a sure thing.

- You'd be a sucker not to go for it. - Hang on.

I see CoyoTech went up another 1,400 won.

It's definitely driven by the trading volume.

You need to buy CoyoTech if you wanna place first.

With CoyoTech, if you just run enough trades,

you're guaranteed to make money.

Just keep running trades on it.

- XITSUH, keep going on CoyoTech. - Okay.

After cycling buys and sells on CoyoTech, I tried buying one share, and it went up.

CoyoTech rises 1,400 won whenever its buy or sell volume

exceeds another stock's buying volume.

- That's why I-- - So as long as this one stays higher

than everything else... Keep it going, XITSUH.

- You need to keep at it. - Yeah, just keep going.

If someone deliberately drives up another stock's trade volume,

- it's over. - It's over, yeah.

- Don't forget to buy CoyoTech afterward. - Okay.

- After you've run all the trades. - Got it.

Don't just abandon it.

How do you stop CoyoTech's surge?

- Will you keep driving it up? - Yes.

CoyoTech can go up indefinitely,

but I don't think it'll keep rising forever.

- There must be something. - Right.

There's gotta be some wildcards in there.

There'll be something bigger.

There could be after Round 5.

Damn.

A lot of us are in the lower ranks.

Tenth through twelfth.

I think Analog Electronics and CoyoTech are connected.

"If Analog Electronics' trading volume is higher than CoyoTech's buying volume..."

That could be the condition.

Then we should buy CoyoTech.

Buying CoyoTech now

- would only benefit the other team. - Right.

- It looks like they've gone all in. - You have one minute left.

Try wash trading Analog Electronics.

I'll get 12 shares of it too.

- You need to keep buying and selling. - Buy and sell.

- Oh, continuously? - We need to drive up the trading volume.

So keep running buys and sells on Analog Electronics.

One minute left.

I can only manage eight shares.

Should we use a secret? No.

How much did Mucho Construction fall in Round 1?

Running buys and sells?

- In Round 1. - Mucho Construction?

- Guess I'm the only one. - I missed it.

- You missed it? - Yeah.

- There's no teamwork whatsoever. - Oh, how much it dropped?

- It fell by 1,000 won in Round 1. - Sorry, I need to sell what I'm holding.

You're pulling out?

I'm pulling out of NotSoGood Capital.

Right, it's not doing much.

Everyone's just thinking for themselves. There's no teamwork here.

There are a lot of people, but nobody's really communicating.

It's a struggle.

I think Analog Electronics and CoyoTech are connected.

That concludes Round 3.

Round 4 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

Why did Electronics go up?

Someone ran trades on Analog Electronics.

That's a lot.

That's insane.

Who did that?

ANALOG ELECTRONICS 447 SHARES BOUGHT, 438 SHARES SOLD

I guess Analog Electronics' trading volume can't be higher than CoyoTech's.

CoyoTech's buying volume needs to be higher than Analog Electronics'.

- Right. - It's already over 400.

- CoyoTech... - Analog Electronics affects it.

Yeah, its buying volume has to beat Analog Electronics'

for the price to rise.

Its initial bump was 1,400 won.

Round 2 will now begin.

COYOTECH: ▲11,400 WON

Round 3 will now begin.

Round 4 will now begin.

When CoyoTech's buying volume is higher, it goes up 1,400 won.

- If not, it drops 700 won. - Right.

Should we just continue running trades on CoyoTech or not?

There's no need to keep at it.

We need to be doing something else. That's not something we can control.

The moment someone else runs trades, it drops, so we need to leave it alone.

We need to figure out Analog Electronics' deal.

- Analog Electronics... - Why did it go up?

Should we throw the secret on Analog Electronics?

Sounds good.

- Good idea. - Yeah.

- Can't we all just come in for a second? - Right.

- Analog Electronics? - We can't communicate this way.

- Can we all talk for a second? - What about Analog Electronics?

We can hear you.

We don't want the other team to hear.

Can you make it quick?

Are you thinking that Electronics

is in a state where buying is higher than selling?

If we wanna tank CoyoTech,

we have to keep wash trading Analog Electronics.

How about we do that quickly, and then use a secret?

- Let's go for it. - Not yet.

We've got a lot of secrets, so one should be fine.

- It's already Round 4. - Secret on what?

Analog Electronics.

But we'd be in the dark too.

But it's already Round 4. You can't use it after Round 20 anyway.

We can't buy information either.

Should we use one? But then...

- But they must know too. - Let's go for it.

I'm using a secret.

ANALOG ELECTRONICS SECRET

We outnumber them, so we can beat them in wash trading too.

- We can go all in on CoyoTech next. - You have one minute left.

- Dong-min. - Yeah?

Mucho Construction is tied to Open Security's price, right?

When Open Security's price dropped, it fell 10% along with it.

The only one with a declining trend is Open Security.

Only Construction and Security have been dropping in all three rounds.

So when Open Security drops, Mucho Construction drops too.

If we know what drives Security up, we can make Construction go up too.

Round 5 is coming up, right?

We're not getting further ahead than the other guys at the moment.

Someone from our side has to take first place.

It's all about money.

Let me go exchange 40,000 won's worth.

- Into cash? - Yeah.

We have to push hard with money from the start, or we'll fall behind.

It might be better to buy multiple pieces of information.

But with the way things are now,

- it's all deducible. - You're right.

I'll diversify across CoyoTech and Analog Electronics.

Will Analog Electronics go up 1,500 won this time or--

That concludes Round 4.

Round 5 will now begin.

Here are the stock rules.

Banger Steel...

Hold on, "total holdings"?

We thought it was about trading volume.

If it's about total holdings...

Maybe "increases" or "decreases" follows?

It could be a comparison. "Greater than X" or "lower than Y."

Right.

Here are the updated stock prices.

They used a secret.

Why did you use a secret on Analog Electronics?

- We thought we figured it out. - We expected it to rise.

I think CoyoTech and Electronics rise and drop based on trading volume.

You didn't buy anything, right?

I bought one share of Analog Electronics.

That's why it changed.

Looks like they went big on Analog Electronics.

They went big, and it dropped.

I'm in seventh place right now.

I went all in on Analog Electronics.

It dropped.

Darn it, it dropped.

Hello.

- I wanna exchange my Pieces. - Okay.

- Four of them for cash. - Sure.

Four Pieces

will be exchanged for 40,000 won.

Exchange complete.

- Please check your device. - Okay.

CoyoTech dropped, right?

- Yeah. - It did.

Let's all load up on CoyoTech this time.

Run a ton of wash trades and push it up by 1,400 won.

There are eight of us, so we can do it. Let's go all in.

- So buy and sell CoyoTech? - Yeah.

CoyoTech? Okay.

Buy and sell CoyoTech?

- Yes. Buy and sell CoyoTech. - Okay.

If anyone has any other good ideas, please feel free to share.

That concludes Round 5.

Round 6 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

CoyoTech went up.

It did.

Wash trading CoyoTech made it rise,

but wash trading Analog Electronics made CoyoTech drop.

Let's load up on CoyoTech for one more rise.

- Once more with CoyoTech? - Okay, one more time.

Yeah, let's just get CoyoTech up. Even if it's just 1,400 won.

It's like we've become a bot.

This time we hold. We're all buying CoyoTech, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

They went for CoyoTech again.

They ran trades over there.

That's the only sure bet right now.

We need to run those trades.

But the thing is, if we run CoyoTech, anyone jumping on will also benefit.

But there's no choice but to ride it with them right now.

Because they have way more people?

We can't match their numbers with just four of us.

That's why I was running trades on Analog Electronics instead.

If Analog Electronics goes up, that drops.

Right now, running trades with just four of us isn't gonna cut it.

We have more players, so we're bound to win in wash trading.

Looking at the rankings, I think we did okay this time.

Yeah.

Let's crack Open Security's 13% spike.

The 13% spike?

Yeah, we need to figure that out.

The latter part isn't that important.

- This front part is what matters. - Yeah, the condition.

OPEN SECURITY: ...+13%, IF NOT...

Open Security...

OPEN SECURITY: ▲8,938 WON

ANALOG ELECTRONICS

Hey, guys.

I figured it out.

The Banger Steel theory is out of the picture now.

Banger Steel's rise isn't linked to Open Security.

The only thing that changed when Open Security rose

was that.

It's the secret.

Whenever a secret is applied to Analog Electronics,

Open Security rises.

Nothing else makes sense.

Could "when a secret is applied" fit in here?

Let's see.

Open Security.

"When a secret is applied to Analog Electronics..."

Then we need to use one fast and take the 13% on Open Security

while only we know.

- Let's do that and buy Open Security. - My secret's on Analog Electronics.

ANALOG ELECTRONICS SECRET

That concludes Round 6.

Round 7 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

OPEN SECURITY: ▲10,099 WON

- That worked. - Good.

It worked.

They used another secret on Analog Electronics.

- Oh, they did. - Yeah, they did.

Buy up Open Security now.

- Okay. - Okay.

Open Security kept dropping 1,000 won at a time.

So it looks like it goes up 13%,

- then down by 1,000 won. - So that's how it is.

But either way, to make big money, you hit Open Security briefly,

then crash something else, before riding whatever's climbing back up.

We need to watch what happens to Capital and Construction.

Open Security alone will never get us ten million.

Did they figure out Open Security's rule?

But seeing that Dong-min and Dong-jae are up in the ranks...

No, only two of them climbed. The rest are low.

I think they just made a lucky guess.

If they were sure, they would've invested a lot more.

11TH PLACE OPEN SECURITY: 0 SHARES

I couldn't buy because I had no idea how much I had.

I got too preoccupied and forgot about my assets.

Because of the secret, I couldn't see how much I had.

I tried to buy some shares but couldn't.

Apparently, I had insufficient funds.

Let's just cash in on CoyoTech this time.

- I think it's too late. - What are we buying?

If we run some wash trades on Analog Electronics, will it go up?

Analog Electronics is way more worth it because it goes up by 1,500 won.

But it only rises by 1,500 won.

- In that case, - It's a set amount.

we should go for Open Security, but the other team--

- We'd get played by their strategy - We don't know--

if we care too much about them.

- Then... - We need a strategy of our own.

We need to figure out Open Security so we can profit from the 13% increase.

- Right. - Should we use a Piece?

- Not yet. - That won't help. We need the front part.

We could look into Mucho Construction.

Should we use a Piece to get the next part?

That would be ideal.

- Yeah. - Construction.

- That's a valid approach. - It's cheap.

Let's hurry.

I'll go. Mucho Construction?

Yeah, see what you can find out.

Hello.

I'd like to see the next part of Mucho Construction's rule.

Please submit a Piece.

This is the next part of Mucho Construction's rule.

You can only review it in the dealer room.

You have one minute left.

MUCHO CONSTRUCTION: ...PRICE..., IF NOT...

"If X's price rises, plus 10%."

- Plus 10%? I wonder which stock. - Another stock can give it that boost?

- It's been tanking. - "If X's price rises, plus 10%."

Banger Steel? No, that's not it.

- It could be Banger Steel. - No.

Wait, it could make sense.

Banger Steel has to rise for Mucho Construction to rise.

Then we can buy and sell Banger Steel while buying up Mucho Construction.

We need to buy Banger Steel this time. I'll buy one.

That concludes Round 7.

I was too late. Did anyone manage?

Round 8 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

- Open Security. - It went up again.

They must've figured out its rule.

We got it right.

- Open Security. - We're set for Round 8, right?

How many people are over there anyway?

- Hey, Shindong. - Yeah?

Why are there suddenly eight people working together here?

We talked about it when you weren't here.

- About what? - Come here.

- No, no. - What's going on?

- What? You just missed it. - Okay, so what happened?

I told Dong-min about it.

I gave him a heads-up about teaming up with the players from prison.

You shouldn't have.

But he said we should.

Then you should be updating us

on whether secrets are being used and stuff.

We need to use another secret.

- Right. - On Analog Electronics.

Should I?

Maybe we shouldn't.

I think they're all gonna hoard on Open Security now.

If we pull out without using a secret, it'll drop.

I think letting Open Security drop is also an option.

Okay, hold off on it.

I'll just ask Shindong whether they used a secret or not.

Okay.

- Our whole system-- - How about this?

- Are you gonna use a secret? - Can you use a secret on Electronics?

- Can you lock a secret on Electronics? - I need to know the other rules though.

- Electronics? Okay. - All I know are CoyoTech and Electronics.

Will that make it drop, then?

Will Security keep going up?

Just tell me that.

If just one person uses a secret on Analog Electronics in this round,

I think I can figure out the rule in the next round.

- Okay. - Just do this for me.

I'll do it right now.

A secret on Electronics.

Did they use a secret?

- Then we should buy more. - Darn it.

- But we're still missing the big picture. - For now,

let's just run with this for a round or two.

We're roughly there now.

But NotSoGood Capital keeps dropping.

NOTSOGOOD CAPITAL: ▼5,904 WON

- I told you. - Yes?

Capital's stock is influenced by all the other stocks.

You'll see here

that more than half the stocks are in decline.

When the market's down, NotSoGood Capital's stock falls too.

Then the first half can be, "If more than half the stocks..."

- "When more than half the stocks..." - "If more than half the stocks drop..."

So the ones we can actually control right now

are Open Security and CoyoTech.

- Those are for certain. - Right.

If we just figure out how Banger Steel rises and drops,

- we can force four stocks to rise. - Right.

NotSoGood Capital could actually have the biggest gains.

From what I can tell,

they've been watching Analog Electronics the whole time.

I think it'd be helpful to use a secret on Electronics one more time.

I think this might be, "If a secret is applied to Analog Electronics."

They keep using a secret on Analog Electronics.

- That makes sense. - Yeah.

Do you wanna try using your secret?

I just did.

I haven't bought anything. Should I buy Open Security?

- You have nothing? - Yeah.

I just blindly followed along

- and took the Open Security gains. - Yeah, exactly.

- I should've bought it. - But don't go all in.

Should I buy Open Security this time?

Do I buy Open Security?

- You need to buy. - Buy it if you can.

- Nothing has been confirmed yet, - Do I go all in?

- but I think that's right. - Agreed.

Let me just use my secret, then.

Yurisa already did.

- Oh, I see. - Yeah.

- On Analog Electronics? - Yeah.

- So Open Security should rise this round. - Okay.

- If it does, then we're right. - Got it.

I used my secret without saying anything,

so my secret is gone now.

I don't know what I'm gonna say if someone asks me later.

- There's a secret on Electronics. - What?

- A secret's on Electronics. - Okay.

I've only been working with Shindong.

- You have one minute left. - Right.

- We're coordinating. - Okay.

Can I at least get my own ranking up first?

Can I ride Analog Electronics?

- Should I wash trade? - No, don't do that.

- Okay. - Buy Open Security.

Open Security only goes up when a secret's on Analog Electronics.

- Oh, I see. - Got it?

- Buy up Open Security. - Okay.

We've got two rounds of secret coming up.

- Hold onto it for both rounds. - Okay.

- But-- - Who used a secret on Electronics?

- I'll tell them to buy Electronics. - Shindong.

- Shindong did, right? - Yeah.

If that's the case, you need to buy it fast.

Did you miss it? The round's over.

- That concludes Round 8. - Then buy some in Round 9.

- Can you use your secret? - Round 9 will now begin.

On what?

- Here are the updated stock prices. - Use a secret on Analog Electronics.

We were right about the secret.

We need to hold onto it one more round, then.

The secret lasts for one more round.

OPEN SECURITY: ▲12,894 WON

- Shindong. - Yeah?

- About Analog Electronics. - Yeah?

When there's a secret locked on it, Open Security goes up.

- You need to go all in this time. - Okay.

About Analog Electronics' rule...

- We've figured out CoyoTech. - Us too.

Do they know what affects Analog Electronics?

No, they don't.

So far, we know that it comes down to which one has more buying and selling

- between CoyoTech or Analog Electronics. - Right, right.

Anyhow, you need to go all in on Open Security

while there's a secret in place.

Okay.

- Keep this just between you and Won-young. - Okay.

Just pretend that we discussed Analog Electronics.

Okay.

- By the way-- - We can't reach ten million won this way.

If we can just figure out the rules behind the falling stocks,

we can buy them at the bottom.

We just need to tank Analog Electronics or Banger Steel first.

Can't we pull out of Open Security in the next round?

Remove the secret and make it crash on the other guys.

I agree.

- Because they don't know-- - They don't know the rules yet.

- They have no idea. - They would've all piled into Security.

The maximum you can get from Open Security is 13% per round.

But we can't pull ahead like this,

and because too many people own Open Security stocks right now,

they're just inflating the gap.

The rankings aren't changing at all.

How are we ever gonna hit ten million won?

These measly percentages won't cut it.

Someone has to lose out.

We need price manipulation.

We're not getting more than 13% this round anyway.

A better option must be there if ten million is possible.

Yeah, there has to be to reach that amount.

And they did mention the 100-won floor. We could see that happen.

Maybe Mucho Construction...

There just aren't that many stocks dropping.

Why does Alt Ent fluctuate so much?

It dropped a lot.

Alt Ent seems to have its own independent condition.

Why did NotSoGood Capital stop?

NOTSOGOOD CAPITAL: 5,904 WON

That concludes Round 9.

Round 10 will now begin.

Here are the stock rules.

Hey, check out NotSoGood Capital.

+20% IN NEXT ROUND

- I'll ask about NotSoGood Capital. - It's 20%. We need to go for that.

NotSoGood Capital beats Open Security. It has a 20% gain.

- If we go all in, we can catch up to them. - Yeah.

We can go all in on NotSoGood Capital.

Here are the updated stock prices.

Why does Mucho Construction keep dropping?

MUCHO CONSTRUCTION: ▼4,734 WON

Can I get some info on NotSoGood Capital?

Please submit a Piece.

- Close the door. This is really important. - It's...

"If X's stock rises" and "if Y's stock falls."

It hasn't changed since Round 6.

It didn't rise or drop.

You're right.

- Then X and Y have to be Banger Steel. - Check out the character count.

Maybe it's "previous round's."

It could be. We need to figure it out quickly.

It can't be "Analog Electronics'."

It's not a different stock.

It's not the name of one.

It's not.

Maybe it could be "worst-performing" or "best-performing"?

John.

We need some safe gains. Should we wash trade Analog Electronics?

Wash trade Electronics?

When you're low on cash, go for Analog Electronics.

Electronics offers an extra 1,500 won per trade,

but Open Security gives you a 13% gain on its price.

You can increase your assets more quickly with Analog Electronics.

Won-young and I are on the lower end,

so we figured 1,500 won per share is solid profit.

I had been riding the 13% gain, but I just moved to Analog Electronics.

So, total holdings, buying volume.

- We have to test Capital somehow. - I know.

The thing is, you need a theory to test anything.

Which stock are we closest to having a theory for?

Should we ask about Alt Ent too?

- I can do that. - Okay.

Hello.

You can only review it in the dealer room.

ALT ENT'S STOCK PRICE GRAPH MATCHES...

Please leave the dealer room.

- I think I've figured out Banger Steel. - Okay.

"If total holdings are higher than the selling volume, then -200 won."

Total holdings higher than selling volume?

Yeah, it has to be that.

Check out Round 5. It had been dropping before.

Total holdings were 10, and it bought 6 and sold 1 during the period.

It went up by 2,000 won after 10 shares were sold.

So total holdings were ten fewer than the selling volume.

Wait, hang on.

Then... Hang on.

It's a 200-won gain per share.

- Yeah, it's a per-share gain. - We've got this.

- Then... - Let's wash trade Banger Steel.

Wait, hold on. Let's slap a secret on Banger Steel.

All four of us can wash trade its stocks,

making its selling volume outnumber total holdings.

Then we can tank it completely.

- After that-- - Which one?

I say we wash trade Banger Steel.

- Why? Did you figure it out? - No.

- We use a secret on it. - We do the opposite.

- Did you figure out the rule? - The opposite?

- Let me break it down for you. - Okay.

If the total holdings are higher than the selling volume, it's -200 won.

If it's lower than the selling volume, it's +200 won.

And the movement seems to match the gap.

Can we crash it that much this round?

- To do that, we need to drive up-- - In that case--

- Just hear me out. - Is that actually the rule?

We should use a secret on Banger Steel and drive up its trading volume.

- Banger Steel? - Yes, then its price will tank.

- Then-- - To guarantee it--

- Okay, hang on. - Then we sell it and--

Use your secret on Analog Electronics.

We can't let them overtake us.

Hyun-min is the only one near the bottom.

We need to save him, and to be able to do that,

you need to use a secret on Analog Electronics.

- Yeah, I can do that. - Do that.

- Then I'll buy Open Security stocks. - Yeah, buy that.

- A secret on Analog Electronics, right? - Buy up Open Security.

- I'm gonna use my secret on Electronics. - Yeah.

- Can I go buy Banger Steel's intel? - What?

It's frustrating.

We keep going off on a tangent.

We have to act on this intel now, but nobody's getting it.

I was trying to explain it,

but I kept getting cut off.

- I need to explain this to the others. - I'll go get it.

I'm about to lose it.

I'll go ask about Banger Steel.

Here is Banger Steel's rule.

You can only review it in the dealer room.

Get back inside.

- It's a trap. - A trap?

- It's a trap. Thank god we checked. - What is it?

- Really? What a narrow escape. - What was that?

It's "for each share increase" and "for each share decrease."

As we thought, total holdings play a role, but it wasn't compared to selling volume.

If total holdings increase, the price drops.

- And if you buy-- - Which stock though?

- Then the total holdings-- - Is this about Banger Steel?

- Yeah. - I have an idea.

Let's use a secret on Banger Steel.

When they see the secret, they'll send someone to ask about it.

We'll tell them that its selling volume can drive up a price spike.

- So that when they buy it up, it'll crash. - I get it.

They'll be digging themselves deeper without knowing.

Use a secret and make them wanna buy it, and when they do,

the total holdings will rise, and the price will fall.

Then we buy it in the next round, assuming the price has dropped.

The secret wears off in the next round.

They'll think they're ruined and sell.

- Then we go up, and then we can clear out. - Yeah, that's good.

So the way Banger Steel works is,

if you buy 50 shares for 500,000 won at the initial price of 10,000 won,

you can make the price hit the 100-won floor.

It can't drop any further after that.

But if people sell more than they buy from this point,

the total holdings decrease,

and each decreased share will make its price rise.

That would allow you to break through ten million.

It's possible to earn ten million.

It's doable, but the starting capital is the problem right now.

Our biggest issue is that we're low on funds.

Also, my allies are suggesting that we guide the other team to buy,

but they're not idiots.

Who would just buy because they were told it'd go up?

None of it can be verified.

Even if they did fall for it,

they'd only test it out with a share or two.

If they buy 1 share, it drops 200 won.

Just let it slip that it's gonna rise, then they'll buy.

No, they won't.

- Why would they risk that? - Okay.

That concludes Round 10.

I'll hold onto Open Security for now.

Round 11 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

They used another secret on Analog Electronics, right?

It wasn't our team, right?

- No. - Then it was them.

- They're just riding that 13%. - Right.

Here's an idea.

This may be "the cheapest stock rises." What's the cheapest?

That would be Mucho Construction.

MUCHO CONSTRUCTION: ▼4,260 WON

Let's say I'm right about the cheapest stock.

Mucho Construction is the current floor.

If we push it up, we might be able to figure out NotSoGood Capital's rule.

But to know Mucho Construction's rule, we need to know what price rose.

But nothing's gone up.

- It rises when Banger Steel does. - It's linked to Banger Steel.

Should we test Banger Steel?

So I buy Banger Steel now and sell it in the next round, right?

Yeah. Are you gonna give it a go?

- Yeah. - Okay.

- Hyun-min, the way I see it, - Yes?

- you need to move up to fourth place - Okay.

- so we can save Shindong. - Right.

For that to happen, you need to...

Shindong, come here.

We can take the top four spots.

As long as you avoid last place,

- we can save you. - Okay.

But you need to give us intel.

- If we do anything, right? - Yeah.

As long as you don't finish 12th,

- we can pull you out no problem. - Okay.

- You get what I mean? - Yeah.

That concludes Round 11.

Round 12 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

It went down, right? Did you buy two?

- I bought one. - You did?

Then I guess someone there did.

Doesn't the secret expire in the next round?

Yeah.

Someone needs to use a secret.

Hold on.

Come on in.

Shindong, come here.

Is someone using a secret on Analog Electronics in this round?

I was just about to ask.

- You need to check if that's happening. - Okay.

If no one else does it, I have no choice but to do it.

- Otherwise, they overtake us. - Okay.

I went to ask about Banger Steel, but they know nothing.

- Are they gonna use a secret? - I don't think so.

Then we need to sell Open Security.

You have one share of Banger Steel, right?

- One share of Banger Steel? - Yeah.

If they buy Banger Steel, we're screwed.

If you wanna play safe, just stick with Open Security.

And leave Banger Steel?

- Then we need a secret on Electronics. - Let's check the other team.

Someone needs to use a secret.

- I can do it. - Okay.

- So, go for Open Security? - Yeah.

There are only two shares.

- We just bought two shares. - One share.

- One share. - Two in total.

So with 2 shares total, it dropped 400 won.

They must've bought a share.

As for Mucho Construction...

Mucho Construction...

- They used a secret. - They did?

- They did. - They did it. Go for Open Security.

Let's buy Open Security for now. They used a secret.

Is there a secret on Analog Electronics?

- Yeah. - You sure?

- Who did it? - Who did it?

Kyung-lyul.

He did?

Can I come in?

Should I buy Open Security this round?

Definitely, since we're using a secret on Analog Electronics.

We haven't decided on that yet.

- You're not gonna? - No.

I just bought Open Security.

- I don't think we should be sharing info. - What?

It's us against them now. We can't open up everything.

We're only sharing intel among ourselves.

Looks like they don't wanna share intel.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Can we trust they used a secret?

I think there's a good chance Kyung-lyul using it was a lie.

Won-young, what's going on over there?

There's too much to deal with, so I can't even look out for myself.

They won't go for Banger Steel this round.

They'll just take the 13% gains from Open Security.

- With a secret? - Yeah.

"The stock that falls the most..."

Or "If the stock that fell furthest from the starting point rises..."

Then how do you explain the flat period?

- Is this about NotSoGood Capital? - The most-dropped stock didn't rise.

I think Yurisa's prediction is right.

- What do you mean? - Look.

So it's, "If the stock that fell the most rises"

and "If the stock that fell the most falls," right?

Look at Rounds 7 and 8.

The chart stayed flat because Capital was the cheapest.

NotSoGood Capital was the cheapest, so it stayed flat.

Then, Construction dropped the most to become the biggest decliner.

And Mucho Construction fell further when it was already the cheapest.

Because Mucho Construction dropped, the 10% decline in Capital started again.

You have one minute left.

So if Mucho Construction rises now, NotSoGood Capital will rise 20%.

- And Mucho Construction is gonna rise. - Yeah.

- Is it? - Yeah.

If you sell.

If Yurisa's deduction on NotSoGood Capital's rule is correct,

they need to raise the price of Mucho Construction,

which is currently the cheapest stock.

To raise the price of Mucho Construction,

they need to raise Banger Steel's price by even just one won.

To raise the price of Banger Steel, they need to reduce its total holdings.

Yurisa currently holds one share of Banger Steel.

If she reduces the two-share total holdings to one,

Banger Steel's price will rise,

which will cause Mucho Construction's price to rise.

As a result, NotSoGood Capital's stock will rise 20%.

That's assuming it goes through. I've only got one share.

There are just two shares--

Then let's test it and use a secret on NotSoGood Capital in the next round.

You should sell first.

- I did. - You did?

Already?

- Then the other team-- - We used a secret anyway.

That concludes Round 12.

Round 13 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

- It's the same? - The buy and sell counts were one each.

Someone over there bought one.

- We sold one, and they bought one? - Yeah.

They canceled each other out.

But the most-dropped stock, Mucho Construction, dropped,

so Capital is declining.

- I think the "most-dropped" part is right. - You're right.

- We can go all in. - We figured it out.

To raise Mucho Construction, we need to raise Banger Steel.

And to raise Banger Steel, we have to use a secret

so they can't see how many we've bought.

Then we sell everything.

I told them I used my secret, so they'll probably go for Open Security.

Can't we sell Banger Steel now and get 20% on Capital in the next round?

We can't raise Banger Steel. We don't have any.

- They have two-- - Didn't you have one?

- She sold it. - I just sold it.

- Why did you sell it? - And they bought another one.

They have two shares of Banger Steel right now.

We should've bought some.

We should buy some this round.

Yeah, we need to do that this round.

Everyone needs to buy Banger Steel, even if only a few.

- Right, we just need more than them. - Got it.

- Just one each? - Yes.

I'll buy one too.

Once we see them rise,

let's slap a secret on Banger Steel and NotSoGood Capital right away.

We need to do it this round. They can't see how many we bought.

- We have to do it now. - Should I do it now?

- I'll do it now. - Okay.

BANGER STEEL SECRET

- We also need to think about Alt Ent. - Right.

- Its price has been dropping. - It's an enigma.

I just can't figure it out.

I even paid for a clue. How frustrating.

Who bought Banger Steel?

- I bought one. - Me too.

Then we have four, right? Okay.

I found a guaranteed winning strategy.

We can each put in 120,000 won

to send Banger Steel down to the 100-won floor right away.

Then, we'll each buy 180,000 won worth and hold for a round. It's still 100 won.

When we make the second investment, each share will cost only 100 won,

when each initially cost 10,000 won.

- But-- - When the four of us

sell 120,000 won worth together, the price goes back to 10,000 won.

Since we used 180,000 won to buy 100-won shares, we'd have 1,800 of them.

At 10,000 won, that's...

This is XITSUH's strategy.

Using Banger Steel's rule,

where the price falls as total holdings increase,

the team buys Banger Steel shares

so the total holdings between them reach 50.

As a result, Banger Steel's price of 9,600 won

falls to the floor price of 100 won.

In the following round, they invest all remaining assets

to buy up Banger Steel shares at 100 won.

At this point, Banger Steel's total holdings increase,

but the price cannot go below 100 won.

If Jang Dong-min sells just 50 shares in the next round,

Banger Steel's price rises by 10,000%.

Then, Jang Dong-min's total assets will far exceed ten million won.

There's only one way we can win right now.

Use the information we obtained ahead of them

to take another gain.

For your plan to work, they can't know about Steel.

But they do.

- Right, they know everything. - They do.

So if we go through with that plan, everyone will benefit.

There were far too many ways for it to go sideways.

We considered whether it was worth that kind of risk and decided against it.

It won't work because they know all about it, right?

Yeah, they know everything.

MYSTERY STOCK MARKET

We need to buy CoyoTech this round for a 14% return.

Open Security only gives you a 13% gain.

CoyoTech rises 1,400 won, which is 14%.

- CoyoTech then? - Yeah, and we need to flip things fast.

- CoyoTech? - Buy and sell CoyoTech.

Okay.

That concludes Round 13.

Round 14 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

BANGER STEEL

- A secret on Banger Steel? - What the heck?

- They must be working on it. - What's going on?

- They must be aiming for first. - Look at that.

They went for CoyoTech.

3,150 SHARES BOUGHT, 3,022 SHARES SOLD

- CoyoTech went up. - Yeah.

Let's use a secret on NotSoGood Capital and go for Mucho Construction.

- Yeah, that's it. - Yeah.

They bought Banger Steel. They're running trades on it.

Buying it themselves is the worst-case scenario.

No, hold on.

- Just a second. They have to go all in. - Listen.

They just used a secret on Banger Steel and bought its shares.

- They're going for NotSoGood Capital. - What?

They're going for NotSoGood Capital in the next round.

- I doubt it. - I'm sure of it.

- They're after NotSoGood Capital. - Capital will give them a 20% gain.

Can we earn more than they do?

Did we predict NotSoGood Capital's rule right?

- I hope we did. - We'll have to wait and see.

- We'll buy NotSoGood Capital-- - Do I sell everything and buy it?

- Yeah. Sell Banger Steel. - Banger Steel.

Sell all Banger Steel.

Yeah, and buy NotSoGood Capital.

Sorry, but can I buy CoyoTech?

- Be our guest. - Go ahead.

It's because I'm last.

We're all buying NotSoGood Capital, right?

- Yeah, and sell all Banger Steel. - Okay.

And we need a secret on NotSoGood Capital.

- I can do it. - Okay.

NOTSOGOOD CAPITAL SECRET

That concludes Round 14.

- Let's see now. - Round 15 will now begin.

Please.

- Please. - Round 15 will now begin.

Here are the stock rules.

Here are the updated stock prices.

It went down.

MUCHO CONSTRUCTION: ▼2,794 WON

We're screwed.

If Mucho Construction dropped, we failed, right?

- Yeah, we did. - Yeah.

ALT ENT: ▼3,200 WON

ALT ENT: ▲5,000 WON

I think they know about Alt Ent.

What's it following? It just went back up.

They figured out Alt Ent's rule.

- Yeah. - They already did.

Guess they're more observant than we are.

The other team decoded Alt Ent's rule before us.

That widened the gap drastically.

They had a sharp observer.

Nobody bought or sold Alt Ent at all, so I kept an eye on it.

It just dropped and rose without anyone doing anything to it.

It kept repeating that cycle, and I couldn't figure it out.

Come here.

- You see Alt Ent? - Yes.

Do you see the graph above "Mystery Stock Market"?

- Yes. - That could be the same graph.

- I can see that. - Yeah.

There are two low points marked there.

The third one is right around the corner.

- Yeah, it'll go up in the next round. - It'll likely go back up.

I made 1,800 won.

- You made 1,800 won? That's a lot. - That's more than 50%.

- That's a little over 50%, right? - Yeah.

- That's a lot for sure. - Sweet.

I'd like to buy Alt Ent's tip sheet.

DEALER ROOM

A 20% gain with NotSoGood Capital.

If I use Banger Steel to earn some with Mucho Construction,

then I can keep cashing in on defense.

What's taking him so long?

A 20% gain with NotSoGood Capital.

I can block three, and Alt Ent drops next round.

Won-young.

What's wrong?

What's up?

- I got the full answer. - Okay.

"Alt Ent's stock price graph

matches the Mystery Stock Market icon."

- Icon? - Really?

- The stock price. - No way.

- It's gonna drop in the next round. - It'll drop, then.

It only goes up once, about five rounds later.

Who put the secret on Analog Electronics this round?

- Shouldn't we buy Open Security? - None of us did. They must've done it.

Shouldn't we go for Open Security?

- We should. - Yeah.

It's so expensive now.

OPEN SECURITY: ▲26,842 WON

Well, he's busy.

- Shindong, come here. - Are we set now?

No, no.

They're going after NotSoGood Capital, right?

They were trying to before you played them.

- Did it drop? - Yeah.

Who put the secret on Analog Electronics?

It wasn't us.

I thought it was you guys.

- What's going on? - Huh?

- No one knows. - Save me.

Can I go for Open Security?

What?

- So... - You know all the rules, right?

Be honest with me.

We just need to know if they're working NotSoGood Capital and Banger Steel.

They failed, so it's over.

- So their op on NotSoGood Capital failed? - Yeah, it's over.

But how do we know why it fell?

Because Mucho Construction went up.

Analog Electronics could've gone up, no?

No, Mucho Construction is the lowest.

You still don't know NotSoGood Capital's rule, do you?

It relies on the movement of more than half of the stocks.

- More than half of the stocks? - Yeah.

No, it doesn't.

- Then? - The lowest price.

- No, it's more than half. - No, it's not.

Then who used a secret on Analog Electronics?

Beats me.

I have no idea.

Damn it.

They said nobody over there used a secret.

Don't believe everything they say.

Oh, that's true. But--

- Stop going over there so much. - They were so convincing.

Round 16 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

That stock is just straight money.

OPEN SECURITY: ▲30,331 WON

Analog Electronics is really cheap right now.

- Is it? - Yeah.

It might go up.

We can just buy info on Analog Electronics and go from there.

- Buy the intel? - Yeah.

- Analog Electronics. - Would you like its intel?

Please submit a Piece.

Sorry, let me check that again.

"Total holdings between 10 and 30 shares..."

It's impossible.

Forget Analog Electronics. The window is 10 to 30 shares.

- This part is "30 shares." - Around 40,000 won.

Yeah, we make around that.

What do we buy, then?

Open Security.

- We have to buy Open Security again, huh? - Yeah.

By the way, we need to profit from Alt Ent one more time.

Keep that in mind.

ALT ENT: ▼3,700 WON

- So the third low point was 3,200 won. - Right.

Check out the chart above. The third low point is still up there.

- I think it can drop to about 1,500 won. - Let's stay put in the next round.

- Maybe we can buy in the round after next. - Yeah.

If we don't run trades on Banger Steel, 100 million won goes up in smoke.

- You're right. - Yeah.

- We do need to do it. - Yeah.

But the problem is we don't know how much money the others have.

- So the secret needs to go. - But to do that...

Once it's lifted... Check this out.

So, around Round 19,

we'll double our dough with Alt Ent and then run the trades.

- Right, that's when the gap widens. - Yeah.

Just remember that.

It's a bit late, but should we try working on Banger Steel?

The last gamble.

Will the secret on Analog Electronics expire now?

It'll still be in effect for this round, so we can buy Open Security, no?

- You're right. - It's based on the previous round?

- Yeah, it includes this round. - I didn't know.

You should buy Security, Yurisa.

- Security? - Yes, for 13%.

Open Security.

- Buy it? - Yes.

- It's going up. - Move up the rankings.

We need to get up in the rankings.

Do we have to work on Banger Steel this round?

We need to buy at least four.

I should buy some more, just in case.

I bought six shares.

That concludes Round 16.

Round 17 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

- Yurisa, you bought Open Security, right? - Yeah.

I did. I went all in.

This round, cash out Open Security shares.

We need to run trades on CoyoTech and go all in on it.

Alt Ent bottoms out next round.

- Yeah. - We'll buy it then. Let's get to work.

- On CoyoTech? - Yeah.

- Analog Electronics-- - We had the worst luck with Capital.

- The strategy just failed, that's all. - Yeah.

I didn't expect them to actually buy when we put the secret on it.

- What now? - What's wrong?

I was trying to gather information from both sides

- and share it with you guys, but-- - Come on.

Come with us if you want.

- Go on. - With the two-team situation...

- What? - We got split into two teams,

and that put us in an awkward spot.

We couldn't just work with the players in the living area.

I was trying to find a way to survive once the rankings got solidified.

I wanted to avoid going to prison

so I tried to see if I could get an alliance token.

So what's going on over there?

We've basically accepted that we can't turn it around.

Right.

Yurisa, you should do something to move up in the rankings.

How?

To be honest, Won-young played really strangely on our team.

Right.

And I'm sure you know too, but I feel like he lied to us yesterday.

Can't we just prevent them from executing the Banger Steel play?

Just hold on to Banger Steel. Selling it won't make it go up.

Alt Ent is the cheapest right now.

- NotSoGood Capital is gonna drop anyway. - So Alt Ent...

- That's the cheapest. - It doesn't affect us.

- That's right. - Look.

I just bought ten shares of Banger Steel,

so you should buy Mucho Construction.

- Go all in on that. - Wait, what doesn't affect us?

Won't NotSoGood Capital drop anyway since Alt Ent is the cheapest?

He's saying that Alt Ent is gonna rise in about two rounds.

You need to load up on Construction and sell Open Security.

That concludes Round 17.

Round 18 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

- It's over, right? - It is. We can't compete.

You went up in rankings.

- I know. - You just need to keep it up.

11TH PLACE: SHINDONG 12TH PLACE: JUNG WON-YOUNG

- Go all in on Alt Ent this round. - Okay.

Seok-jin, do you think we should buy Alt Ent now

or wait one more round?

I think now.

Should we buy Alt Ent?

- I'm not sure. - I think it's the next round.

I think it's the next.

It needs to do a little pivot first.

This is tough.

I guess I'll go for Alt Ent.

Wouldn't it be better to invest in CoyoTech?

Are you going for Alt Ent?

They're not sure whether this is the round to buy Alt Ent or not.

So they're going for CoyoTech instead.

COYOTECH: 24 SHARES

JAE JAE COYOTECH: 15 SHARES BOUGHT

JOHN PARK COYOTECH: 16 SHARES BOUGHT

What does your team wanna do now?

- You guys aren't exactly a team, right? - We've got nothing.

We worked as a team to get information on the rules.

What do you wanna do? Just make as much money as you can?

I wanna know if the time for Alt Ent is now or later.

The way I see the chart, it's now.

- I know that-- - What?

I know that Alt Ent will rise after it hits the bend.

- Right. - But I'm not sure if it's now or later.

- Is it the next round? - It's now.

- Now? - Yeah.

Hurry up and buy it.

- That concludes Round 18. - I bought it.

Good.

Round 19 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

- What the... - Huh?

ALT ENT: ▼1,000 WON

- I'm screwed. - I'm screwed.

But why? Hold on.

Wait.

So it was the next round.

- I told you to go for CoyoTech. - I know.

- We should've listened. - Yeah.

Damn it.

Damn that icon. Unbelievable.

5TH PLACE: HYUN KYUNG-LYUL

- Thankfully, we're still in the top four. - Yeah.

Everyone went for Alt Ent.

No, I don't think Kyung-lyul did.

- You're right. - Yeah.

- You're going for Alt Ent, right? - It's the way to go for this round.

- It'll probably double. - Right.

Hold on, we're in trouble. He's really catching up.

It's gonna be difficult to add 100 million won at this rate.

- Dang it. - Seriously.

- We messed up after all the work. - That's how stocks are.

How did you jump up in the rankings?

Both stocks went up.

Mucho Construction and Banger Steel suddenly went up.

Should I use a Piece?

If you wanna earn big, now's your shot with Alt Ent.

- You're right. - Yeah, it's time to gamble.

Would you like to exchange your Piece for cash?

- Yes. - How many would you like to exchange?

Two.

I'm going for one big swing.

On Alt Ent, sure.

No, I already took the one big shot earlier.

Feels like I took a loan to average down.

So what are our team's goals now?

To claim the top four spots for us

and save Shindong somehow, right?

Who else are we gonna save?

What do you mean? That's it.

Aren't we helping Yurisa avoid last place?

Oh, yeah, we should do that.

Then what about Won-young?

- Regarding Yurisa and Won-young, - Yes?

we should help them.

- Help them avoid last place. And? - Yurisa...

But there's only so much we can do after the discussion yesterday.

- Wait, Dong-min. - Yeah?

There isn't a big gap between those in second through fifth place.

That being said, rankings could change at any moment,

and things will get complicated.

I need to place last.

Can you tell me what the rule for Analog Electronics is?

- No idea. - What do you mean you need to place last?

It's for the token.

Then you shouldn't place last.

Sorry, I can't tell you.

But you'd be eliminated.

- So you have to place last? - Guess he got a mission yesterday.

- I knew it. - So something happened yesterday, huh?

Then what did he come here to ask? Was he just here to brag?

Won-young suddenly came by and said he had to place last.

- He has to place last? - Yes.

He's looking for ways to lower his assets. He might just be acting.

But he could've easily come last at any point if he wanted to.

It wouldn't make sense if he were told to place last at a certain point.

Does it make any sense?

There's nothing easier than coming in last.

Can anyone buy around ten shares of Banger Steel?

- Banger Steel? - Yes.

We can't use up our money yet.

You can't because you're first, right?

That concludes Round 19.

Round 20 will now begin.

Here are the completed stock rules and the updated stock prices.

We were wrong about NotSoGood Capital.

It's not the most-dropped stock. It's "four or more stocks."

Everyone will be after Alt Ent.

Everyone will go for Alt Ent. The gap will just widen.

- There's no reason not to buy. - Yeah, there isn't.

Wait, why did Shindong go down?

Why didn't you buy Alt Ent?

What?

It would've doubled if you did.

Yeah, why didn't you?

I told you to buy it.

I bought NotSoGood Capital.

- I'm such an idiot. - Just buy it now.

Look, we can't be certain because of Kyung-lyul.

We need to make more money with another play.

That wouldn't be any fun.

- Isn't that obvious? - There's no chance later.

- Now is the chance to go from 1,000 to 0. - Alt Ent is the way to go.

What's going on here?

- The losers need to chat. - So...

If we make the same investment, he'll place last.

If we both go up, he'll still end up last.

Buy Alt Ent.

Hold on.

Our best option now is to stop them from earning with NotSoGood Capital.

I'll spend some of my funds

- to buy Banger Steel-- - No, Dong-min.

Just wash trades on Analog Electronics and buy 30 shares or more.

It only costs 31,000 won to get 31 shares.

- Why don't you buy 31 shares? - Yeah, hold on to them.

- Can I come in? - Sure.

- I want some snacks. - Enjoy.

Analog Electronics...

Here you are.

Sorry?

I feel like I could make some money with Analog Electronics,

but I could also be screwed over.

- Let me ask you one question. - Yeah?

Is anyone on your team gonna buy Electronics?

- I haven't mentioned anything about it. - You haven't?

It's a gamble.

If I buy ten...

You wouldn't intentionally screw me over.

Why would I?

I just need to maintain my rank.

Let's do it.

Mucho Construction.

- Okay. - All right.

I'll buy 16 more.

You should eat up now if you're headed to prison.

That concludes Round 20.

Round 21 will now begin.

Here are the updated stock prices.

11TH PLACE: JUNG WON-YOUNG 12TH PLACE: SHINDONG

What happened to Shindong?

What's going on?

What happened to Shindong?

How does that make sense?

What did you do?

I'll buy 16 more.

I need to place last.

Load up on Construction and sell Open Security.

You should buy Security, Yurisa.

The last gamble.

I bought Banger Steel and blocked it.

Sorry, but can I buy CoyoTech?

Go for Analog Electronics.

I've only been working with Shindong.

I wanna buy a share of NotSoGood Capital.

15 HOURS AGO

To break the curse,

the one player you choose

must be eliminated in tomorrow's main match.

Who do you choose as the player to be eliminated tomorrow?

I choose Shindong.
