Thriller Paradise

Mr. Jing quickly left with his tail between his legs, taking a pen and a piece of paper with him … It seemed that the tall man’s advice to him was effective.

“Judge, what’s the lowest bet I can call now?” The man had just left when Feng bujue turned to the man in the suit and sunglasses.

“Round it down from one decimal place.” The judge replied,”for example … Your current holding amount is 102112, and 1% of it is 1021.12. You can discard the rest, so the minimum bet you can make in the ‘gambling round’ is 1021 dollars.”

“Alright, I’ll bet this amount.” Feng bujue replied immediately.

“Oh?” When the tall man heard that, he immediately used a provocative tone to continue,”Hey, hey … Mr. Crow, I only announced that I would only have 18 rounds. Is there a need to be so conservative?”

Brother Jue did not respond to that but replied,””May I ask how I should address you?”

“Hehe … That’s easy,” The tall man raised his hand and pointed at his golden crying face mask.”You can call me ‘golden-faced sorrow’.”

“Golden-faced sorrow.” The next second, Feng bujue continued,”with your capabilities, you should have known the strategy for this game when I was fighting Mr. Jing in the first round.”At that time, you could’ve won at least ten or twenty thousand Yuan after two rounds of challenge …” He paused for half a second.”But … Why did you have to challenge me?”

“Hmph …” Jin mianchou sneered.”It’s very simple …” As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at the organizer on the second floor.”There are only eight winners in tonight’s banquet. Indeed, I’m very confident that I can enter the top 64 in this first game, but … There are obviously other games after this. I have to think about what comes after …”

“Ha …” When Feng bujue heard that, he laughed.”In other words … You are very confident about this first game, so … You want to take out the ‘potential enemies’ before ‘this game ends’, right?”

“Ah … That’s it.” Jin mianchou had no intention of hiding the truth. He knew very well that it was futile to hide anything in front of this “Crow”.”It’s not that I think I’ll lose in the new game later, but after all, the content of the new game is still unknown … Wouldn’t it be a waste if I don’t make good use of my absolute advantage?”

“Hmph … People like you are seeking death.” Feng bujue laughed, and it was the kind of laughter that made one feel extremely uneasy.

“Hehe …” Jin Michou was also laughing.”You haven’t answered my first question, Mr. Crow …” He changed the topic.”You and I both know … The ‘escape rounds’ were in the nineteenth and twentieth rounds. In order to win, I didn’t hesitate to bet the number of rounds on 18. In the face of my ‘sincerity’, are you only going to pay 1021 dollars?”𝑶𝗏𝓁xt.𝗇𝓔t

“Yes, your sincerity is worth this price.” Feng bujue was unmoved and replied calmly,”time is precious, so you should start guessing quickly …” He glanced at the timer.”Don’t forget, the time we’re using to talk … Is your ‘forty-five minutes’.”

“Okay, okay, then I’ll start …” Jin Michou put on a disappointed look and started to guess …

…………

The two of them moved very quickly. Whether it was placing a bet, following a bet, guessing a number, or giving feedback … They basically did everything without thinking.

After a short four minutes, the first nine rounds had been completed.

In the first nine rounds, Jin mianchou’s method of guessing was the same as Feng bujue ‘s.

Therefore, by the tenth round, he had found out the six numbers that brother Jue had written down. They were two, three, four, five, seven, and nine.

He had also lost 9000 dollars.

“Hmm…As expected, they used the six ‘non-repeated’ numbers?” When they were placing their bets for round ten, gold mask said,”just as I expected …” He raised his head to look at brother Jue.”You’ve already figured out the game’s guessing game, so you know how to increase the number of steps your opponent has to take to solve the game. In return … You also know the ‘most efficient’ guessing game.”

At this point, Jin Michou tilted his head.”Hmph … When you were playing with Mr. Jing just now, you deliberately didn’t use the best solution, but instead used another kind of elimination method to solve it. You use this to create an illusion … As if you are still a distance away from the answer. ” He spread his hands and continued in a helpless tone,”in the end … That third-rate who knew nothing really fell for it. Until round 20, he still thought that you, who had only guessed ‘2a’ correctly, were at least five or six steps away from the answer; In the end … We missed the ‘escape round’.”

“Are you done talking?” Feng bujue said,”it’s almost time to place bets.”

“Ha … I’ll still bet 1000 dollars on this round.” Jin mianchou deliberately waited until the timer reached the last second before he reported his chips and pressed the switch.

“Very good,” he said. The moment the other party called out his chips, brother Jue said,”I surrender.”

“What?” This time, Jin mianchou was obviously stunned.

“Judge, let’s settle the score.” One second later, Feng bujue called out to the judge, who was also stunned.

“Uh … Ah,” The adjudicator had been hosting this kind of gambling game for a long time, so he was very quick to settle the score.”Well … The organizer surrendered on the tenth round and is fined 11000 dollars. Adding the 1021 from the ‘gambling round’, minus the 9000 bet lost by the guessing team in the previous nine rounds, the final is … 3021. Please pay, question setter. “

Before he could finish, brother Jue had already started to take out the money.

“You …” Jin Michou, who was the one collecting the money, was a little annoyed.”You’re really watertight …”

“Humph …” Feng bujue shrugged.”If Mr. Jing is a third-rate, then you are a second-rate.”

“You …” Jin mianchou wanted to say something but stopped. After two seconds, he said in a confused tone,”are you trying to provoke me … I won’t be fooled.”

“The characteristic of a second-rate player … Is that they think they’re smart.” Feng bujue ignored his words and continued,”for example, just now … You purposely chose to make a lot of noise before the tenth round and waited until the last second to press the timer … Do you think that is a whistle-blowing basketball game?” He sneered,”on the surface, he tried to put on an ‘I’m not in a hurry’ look, and at the same time, he used words to distract the opponent’s attention and tried to make the other side anxious.” He mimicked the other side’s posture and spread out his hands.”Although your tone and body language are on point, the more you act like this … The easier it is to reveal your true intentions.”

“Don’t be so arrogant and criticize me. ” “Yes,” Jin Mian replied unhappily,”as long as you calculate it, you’ll know … The tenth round is a ‘second-rate escape round’. However, if you feel that the situation is not good before you enter the 11th-20th round, this will be your last chance to escape. ” As he spoke, he raised his voice.”In my opinion … You’re just afraid that I’ll guess the answer in a dozen rounds and suddenly make a bet. That’s why you’ve already planned to escape at the tenth round at the beginning of the round!”

While they were conversing, the judge had finished calculating the money, destroyed brother Jue’s answer sheet, and cleaned up the table.

With that, the preparations for the second round were ready, and when the round began, the difference in funds between the two sides was poor.

[Feng bujue: 99091 dollars.]

[Jin mianchou: 103021 dollars.]

“If you want to think so, you can.” “In any case …” Feng bujue said.”Come up with the question.”

“Hmph …” Jin Michou snorted gloomily. He wrote six numbers on the paper and handed it to the judge.

“Just six will do?” The referee still had to confirm with him as usual.

“Sure.” Jin mianchou replied.

“Alright,” he said. The judge then turned to brother Jue.”Then … For the second round, please announce your turn.”

“One million.” Without even thinking, Feng bujue gave an unbelievably large number.

Hearing the number of rounds … The judge’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say anything. In any case, the guessing game only had 45 minutes. When the time was up, no matter how many rounds they played, the guessing team would still lose.

“Tsk … I’ll bet 1000 dollars.” Seeing the number of rounds, Jin mianchou naturally had nothing to think about, so he placed the lowest bet …

…………

Jin mianchou was an outstanding person in mathematics. He was also the “fish that escaped the net” mentioned in the previous article. Not long after he finished reading the rules, he had already calculated the “best solution” for this game in his mind. According to this optimal solution, as long as one’s luck wasn’t too bad, there was a 90% chance of getting the answer within 18 rounds.

This point … As the designer of the game, the organizer was naturally very clear about this.

The calculation formula of the fine, as well as the bet, were all designed on this basis.

Jin mianchou saw through all of this … And he thought that he had completely mastered the strategy of the ‘guessing number duel’, which was why he challenged brother Jue.

However … In the end, he had underestimated Feng bujue. He did not expect Feng bujue to surrender so decisively in the tenth round.

Brother Jue’s choice was equivalent to announcing that he had no intention of winning money in this match.

However, even if he had to lose money, he still had to make this choice. This was a rational retreat to minimize the losses, survive, and then … Fight back.

…………

The following development was basically the same as the first round.

Feng bujue used nine rounds to get the six numbers that the man had written.

Jin Michou also chose to surrender in the tenth round, because he also understood that his opponent had a high chance of guessing the answer before the nineteenth round. It would be very disadvantageous for him to drag it out to the 11th-20th round.

In the end, the final amount for this round was … Jin Michou had given brother Jue another 2981 USD.

In the end, Jin Michou realized that he had only won forty dollars after working so hard for half a day … And he had helped Feng bujue exhaust the ‘second match’.

From that moment on, Feng bujue had the right to not accept any ‘challenges’ from others.

After the second round, Jin mianchou said to brother Jue in a disdainful tone,”what a boring man, but … It’s a good experiment.” He put on a pretense and said,”at least it proves that two people with equal computing ability and have understood the rules of the game, as long as the total amount of funds is not too different, the result of the duel will be like this …”

He waved his hand and turned around.””That’s it … Mr Crow, it seems that we can only get a higher score in the next game …”

“Don’t go!” To his surprise, Feng bujue interrupted him.”Let’s play another round.”

This sentence made Jin Michou freeze on the spot.

“Ha …” The next second, Feng bujue’s disturbing laughter rang out again.”I have already gone through two battles, but you have only gone through one, right?” He paused for a moment.”So, I’m challenging you now. You can only accept the challenge.”

Jin mianchou swallowed his saliva and slowly turned around. He continued to pretend to be calm.”Hmph … Then I really have to thank you. You’re here to help me waste the ‘Second Battle’ so that I can avoid being challenged, right?”

“No, I’m here to win your money.” Feng bujue replied calmly.

“Ha!” Jin mianchou laughed drily.”Ridiculous!” He suddenly shouted,”is there any difference between this match and the previous one?”

“There is …” Feng bujue replied in a low voice.”I just played with you in the ‘computing world’ and learned about your second-rate nature … Hehe …” He chuckled.”And now … It’s time to invite you to the ‘gambling world’.”
