Mr. Jing quickly left in despair, taking a pen and a piece of paper with him... It seemed that the tall man's advice to him was still effective.
"Referee, how do you calculate the minimum bet I can call?" Feng Bujue turned to the man in a suit and sunglasses as soon as the opponent left.
"Round up to the next decimal point." The referee replied, "For example... your current holding amount is 102112, 1% of which is 102112, and the rest can be discarded. Then your lowest bid in the 'bet round'
The bet is $1,021.”
"Okay, I'll bet on this number." Feng Bujue replied immediately.
"Oh?" When the tall man heard this, he immediately continued in a provocative tone, "Hey... Mr. Crow, I only announced eighteen rounds. Is it necessary to be so conservative?"
Brother Jue did not answer his words, but replied: "I haven't asked yet, how do you call me your Excellency?"
"Haha... that's easy to say." The tall man pointed at his golden crying mask, "You can call me 'Golden Face Chou'."
"Jin Mian Chou." The next second, Feng Bujue continued, "With your ability, you should already know the strategy of this game when Mr. Jing and I competed in the first game; at that time,
You just need to pick someone to challenge, and after two rounds, you can win at least ten or twenty thousand dollars..." He paused for half a second, "But... why do you have to challenge me?"
"Hmph..." Jin Mianchou sneered, "It's very simple..." He said, raising his eyes to where the organizer was on the second floor, "Tonight's banquet, there are only eight final winners.
"Indeed, I am very confident that I can enter the top sixty-four in this first game, but...there will obviously be other games after this, and I have to think about the following things first..."
"Heh..." Feng Bujue also laughed after hearing this, "That is to say... you are very confident about this first game, so... you want to put those 'potential' before 'this game is over'."
The powerful enemy must be killed, right?”
"Ah...that's it." Jin Mianchou didn't mean to hide it. He also knew that hiding it in front of this "crow" was futile. "It's not that I think I will lose in the new game in the future, but after all,
The content of the new game is still unknown... Wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t take advantage of it when we have an absolute advantage?”
"Hmph... It's people like you who are looking for death." Feng Bujue laughed, still the kind of laugh that made people extremely uneasy.
"Haha..." Jin Mianchou was also smiling, "You haven't answered my original question yet, Mr. Crow..." He changed the topic back. "You and I both know...the 'escape round' of the question maker is
In the 19th and 20th rounds; and in order to win, I did not hesitate to bet the round declaration on the number eighteen. Faced with my 'sincerity', can you only offer 1,021 US dollars?"
"Yes, your sincerity is worth this price." Feng Bujue remained unmoved and replied calmly, "Time is precious, you'd better start guessing quickly..." He glanced at the timer, "Don't
Forgot, what we are spending on talking now...is your 'forty-five minutes' guessing time."
"Okay~Okay~Then I'll start..." Jin Mianchou looked very disappointed. Then he started guessing...
…………
Both of them move very quickly, whether calling, calling, guessing, giving feedback... basically without thinking.
After just four minutes, the first nine rounds were completed.
In the first nine rounds, Jin Mianchou's guessing method was the same as Feng Bujue's previous guessing method.
So, by the tenth round, he had tried out the six numbers written by Brother Jue, which were 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9.
The money he lost also reached 9,000 US dollars.
"Hmm... did you really use the 'non-repeating' six numbers?" When calling the bets for the tenth round, Jin Mian said sadly, "It's not what I expected..." He looked up at Brother Jue.
"You have already thoroughly understood the guessing methods of this game. You know very well how to increase the number of guessing steps for your opponent. In contrast... you also know the 'most efficient' guessing method."
Having said this, Jin Mianchou tilted his head: "Hmph... When you played against Mr. Jing just now, you deliberately did not use the best solution. Instead, you used another indirect way of elimination to solve the problem. In this way, your opponent
It creates an illusion... as if you are still a certain distance away from the answer." He spread his hands and continued in a helpless tone, "In the end... the 'third-rate' who didn't know anything really fell into the trap until the twentieth round.
At that time, he still thought that you, who had only guessed '2a' at most, were at least five or six steps away from the answer; as a result... you missed the 'escape round'."
"Are you done rambling?" Feng Bujue said, "It's almost time to call for bets."
"Ha... this round, I still bet a thousand dollars." Jin Mianchou deliberately waited until the timer reached the last second before reporting out his chips and pressing the switch.
"Very good." The moment the other party called out the chips, Brother Jue said, "I surrender."
"Huh?" At this moment, Jin Mianchou was obviously stunned.
"Referee, let's settle the matter." A second later, Feng Bujue called out to the referee who was also in a daze.
"Uh...ah." The referee brother has been presiding over this kind of gambling game for a day or two, and he is settling the scores very quickly, "Well... the party that proposed the question surrendered in the tenth round, and the fine was 11,000 US dollars; plus the 'bet round'
It’s 1021, and then subtract the 9000 ante that the guesser lost in the previous nine rounds, and finally it’s... 3021. The person who gave the question please pay."
Before he finished speaking, Brother Jue had already started to take out the money very quickly.
"You guy..." Jin Mianchou, who was the recipient of the money, actually looked a little annoyed at this time, "You are really watertight..."
"Hmph..." Feng Bujue shrugged and snorted coldly, "If Mr. Jing is said to be a 'third-rate' person, then you must be a 'second-rate person'."
"You..." Jin Mianzou stopped talking. After a two-second pause, he said in a ferocious tone, "You want to provoke me...I won't be fooled."
"The characteristic of second-rate people... is that they are smart." Feng Bujue ignored his words and continued, "For example, just now... I specially chose to beep a lot before the tenth round, and had to wait until the last second before pressing the timer.
...Do you think this is a buzzer beater in basketball?" He mocked, "On the surface, I tried my best to look like 'I'm not in a hurry', and at the same time used words to distract the opponent's attention, trying to make the opponent anxious." He said.
He also imitated the posture of the other person and spread his hands, "Although your tone and body language are very good, the more you behave like this... the easier it is to reveal your true intentions."
"Don't accuse me so arrogantly." Jin Mian replied unhappily. "As long as you do the math, you will know...the tenth round is a 'second-rate escape round', even though it is the same as the nineteen and twenty.
Compared with rounds... you will lose a little more money if you surrender here; but before entering the 11-20 round range, if you already feel that the situation is not good, this is the last chance to escape." He said while raising the level.
Voice, "In my opinion... you are just afraid that I will guess the answer in more than ten rounds and suddenly raise the bet, so you have planned to escape in the tenth round at the beginning of this round!"
While the two of them were talking, the referee had already calculated the money, destroyed Brother Jue's answer sheet, and cleared the table.
In this way, the preparations for the second game are ready, and at the beginning of this game, the capital comparison between the two sides is
Feng Bujue: 99,091 US dollars.
Jin Mian Chou: 103021 US dollars.
"It's okay if you think so." Feng Bujue continued, "Anyway... let's come up with a question."
"Hmph..." Jin Mianchou snorted gloomily, wrote six numbers on the paper, and handed it to the referee.
"Are these six enough?" The referee still had to confirm with him as usual.
"Okay." Jin Mianchou replied.
"Okay." The referee looked at Brother Jue again, "So... who will guess the solution for the second game, please make a round declaration now."
"One million." Feng Bujue opened his mouth and reported an extremely exaggerated number without even thinking about it.
Hearing this number of rounds... the corners of the referee's mouth twitched twice immediately, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, the guessing time is only 45 minutes. When the time is up, no matter how many rounds it is, the guessing team will lose completely.
"Tch...I'll bet 1,000 US dollars." Jin Mianchou saw this number of rounds and naturally had nothing to think about, so he gave a minimum bet...
…………
Jin Mianchou is a person who is very good in mathematics, which is the "fish that slipped through the net" mentioned above. Not long after he read the rules, he had already calculated the "optimal solution" to the game in his mind.
According to this optimal solution, as long as you are not too unlucky, there is a probability of more than 90% that the answer can be obtained within eighteen rounds.
This point...as a game designer, the organizer naturally knows it very well.
The calculation formula for fines, as well as the ante for betting rounds, etc., are also designed on this basis.
Jin Mianchou saw through all this... and thought he had completely mastered the entire "guess the number duel" strategy, so he launched a challenge to Brother Jue.
However... he still underestimated Feng Bujue after all. He did not expect that the opponent would decisively choose to surrender in the tenth round.
This choice of Brother Jue is tantamount to announcing that he has no intention of winning money in this duel.
However, even if he loses money, he still has to choose this way. This is a rational concession to minimize the loss, survive, and then... fight back.
…………
The next development is basically the same as the first game.
Feng Bujue spent nine rounds of testing to find out the six numbers written by the other party.
And Jin Mianchou also chose to surrender in the tenth round, because he also understood that... the opponent has a high chance of guessing the answer before the nineteenth round, and it would be very disadvantageous to delay it to the 11-20 round range.
As a result, the settlement amount of this round was...Jin Mianchou returned another $2,981 to Brother Jue.
After going back and forth like this, Jin Mianchou discovered that he had only won 40 US dollars after working for a long time... and he also helped Feng Bujue consume the "second duel".
From this moment on, Feng Bujue has the right not to accept other people's "challenges".
"Hey." After the second round, Jin Mianchou said to Brother Jue in a contemptuous tone, "What a boring man, but... it can be considered a good experiment." He said pretentiously, "At least
It proves that if two people with equal computing power and a thorough understanding of the rules of the game, as long as the total amount of funds is not much different, the result after the duel will be roughly like this..."
After that, he waved his hand and turned around coolly: "That's it...Mr. Crow, it seems we have to wait until the next game to get a high score..."
"Don't leave." Unexpectedly, Feng Bujue interrupted him at this moment, "Let's play another round."
These words made Jin Mianchou freeze in place.
"Ha..." The next second, Feng Bujue's disturbing laughter sounded again, "I have already experienced two duels, but you have only experienced one, right?" He paused,
"So, if I challenge you now, you can only accept it."
Jin Mianchou swallowed his saliva, turned around slowly, and continued to pretend to be calm: "Humph... Then I really want to thank you, you came here specifically to help me consume the 'second duel'
, so that I can avoid being challenged in the future, right?”
"No, I'm here to win your money." Feng Bujue replied calmly.
"Ha!" Jin Mianchou laughed dryly, "Absurd!" he suddenly shouted, "Is there any difference between this scene and the one just now?"
"Yes..." Feng Bujue replied in a deep voice, "I just played with you in the 'Field of Computing' and I got to know your second-rate nature... Hehe..." He laughed strangely twice, "
And now...it's time to invite you to the 'gambling field' to have some fun." (To be continued.)
