Liu Xing and others turned around and saw Baihecheng standing outside the door carrying large and small bags.
"I just came back, and I heard you guys plotting against me behind my back, and I kindly brought you a lot of souvenirs... Oh, you are really hurting my heart." Baihe City said with a look on his face.
Said sadly.
Liu Xing smiled and shook his head, stepped forward to help Bai Hecheng put down all the things, and asked: "Aren't you in charge of various affairs of the trading company in Far West City? How come you are related to Liang Cheng's affairs again?
And you also set up a street stall to fool others?"
At this time, Yin En also stood up and said: "Yes, our alliance should not be short of this little money, so Lao Bai, are you ruining the reputation of our alliance just for this small profit? Then you have ulterior motives.
Ah? Tell me, are you an undercover agent?"
Being slapped down by Yin En, the expression on Baihecheng's face turned speechless, "Hey, hey, hey, Yin En, don't talk nonsense here, why did I become an undercover? And haven't you all discovered me?
Did you have good intentions?"
As soon as Baihecheng said this, Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh? So you have already triggered the achievement of being a good teacher? That's why you arranged for people to set up stalls in various places. If anyone asks why,
Then they can stand up and start teaching probability knowledge?"
Baihecheng nodded, sat down and said, "Yes, just like what you said, Liu Xing, I met a few passers-by on the way to Far West City. They are the sons and the president of a trading company in Far West City.
Nephew, I went to Boyang City two days ago to give some gifts to Guo Er, who just became the city lord. After all, Boyang City is also a big customer of Far West City. Basically, Boyang City needs to buy things from outside, except for some local specialties.
Everything else was purchased from Far West City, so Guo Er received many businessmen from Far West City during this period."
"So I saw that they were from a certain trading firm in Far West City, so I intentionally made friends with them and wanted to inquire about the situation in Far West City from them. Then they were impressed by my rich knowledge, but this was also very difficult.
It's normal. After all, our modern people may not be as good as these NPCs from ancient times in terms of knowledge in a certain area, but they are definitely superior in terms of breadth of knowledge. Therefore, if I can't bluff them in this situation of talking about mountains and rivers,
I was stunned for a while, then I don’t need to call myself a player."
Liu Xing and others smiled and nodded, because this was indeed a fact.
For a person who has traveled back in time to ancient times, you can bully others for their lack of knowledge, but you cannot underestimate the intelligence level of others, otherwise you will be the only one who is unlucky in the end.
At this time, Baihecheng continued: "So to these young people in their teens and twenties, I am a great talent who knows astronomy, geography, and some worldly knowledge, so these guys regard me as
He is a good and caring brother, and he knows everything I ask and answers my questions, as long as it doesn’t involve their family’s business secrets. Therefore, I got a lot of information about Far West City, which is very helpful for me to gain a foothold in Far West City.
It was very helpful, so I invited these people to my place and cooked them some so-called special dishes. To put it bluntly, they are the home-cooked dishes we eat in the real world. After all, the cooking techniques these days are simpler.
.”
"After we had a good meal and a drink, we started chatting all over the place again, and then we talked about a very classic question - the sky is round and the earth is round. This is also the most famous hypothesis in ancient times, right? After all, for this era
With the level of science and technology, it is still too difficult to confirm the shape of the earth; but it is easy to solve for us, so I took out the same classic sailing boat solution, which is what we saw on the beach.
When looking at a sailboat in the distance, the first thing you see is the mast of the sailboat, which proves that the so-called sea level still has a range, so it is recommended to change it to an uneven sea line."
"But I have overlooked one problem here, that is, those NPCs have not been to the seaside yet. After all, our place is still a bit far away from the sea. Normally, no one would go to see the sea if nothing happens, so what we hear is false. What we see is false.
To be honest, they naturally had some disbelief in my theory of sailing. I also drank a little wine at that time, so I was a little drunk. I had to explain this matter to them, so I found a straight and straight road with them.
It took a long way to prove what I said, and as a result, I triggered the achievement you mentioned."
Baihe City took a sip of water and continued: "As you just said, this achievement is a good helper for us to earn points, so I arranged for a few players to test the triggering efficiency of this achievement and what level it is.
Only certain knowledge points can trigger achievements. After all, there are some knowledge points that the ancients did not know the principles of, but they also knew the general outline. Therefore, unless this kind of knowledge point is relatively advanced, there is no way to obtain achievements, such as the probability involved in the lottery game.
.”
"In fact, it won't take long for those NPCs to discover that the lottery game has more losses than wins, and after ruling out the possibility of our cheating, they will realize that this is a problem with the lottery itself, but for a while they will think
I don’t understand why 4, 3, and 2 often appear, because in their perception, 3, 3, and 3 should be the most common. So after doing several experiments, I found that this probability theory is the best knowledge to trigger difficult levels and serve as a teacher.
Yes, and it’s relatively easy to explain, especially if you have the props on hand.”
"So, I discussed it with a few of my players, and after confirming their ideas, I arranged for these people to go all the way north to deliver the news to various cities, that is, players like Zhang Jingxu who stayed in the sect.
, so that you can do more things in the sect and earn some achievement points by the way; and street tricks like the lottery game are also popular for the NPCs in this martial arts module, but what about ordinary NPCs?
, they don’t have much curiosity, nor do they want to directly crack the game, after all, they only think about how to win and how to make money.”
"So according to the replies I received, the NPCs who took the initiative to ask for advice on the lottery game are except for a small number of gamblers A who are jealous of losing, or gamblers B who want to understand the principles and set up their own stalls.
, they are basically people with some status and ability, most of them are young disciples of various sects; firstly, these young people are more playful, and secondly, they are more curious and have good understanding, so
They are more willing to think about why this is, but limited by their cognitive level, it is difficult to figure out the principle of this lottery game by themselves."
Baihecheng's words reminded Liu Xing of a past incident, that is, he fell into a dead end in thinking during a certain exam. He could not understand a question no matter how he explained it, and there were many classmates around him who were also like this;
Then after the teacher's explanation, other students had understood the question, but I still couldn't figure out the answer to the question... As a result, I spent the whole morning like this.
Liu Xingcai suddenly figured out the crux of the problem, and then he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He turned out to be a bit stupid.
So just like Yu Lei and Xia Fei just now, many people can realize that there is a problem with the lottery game, but most of them will not study what the problem is, and most of the remaining people will not either.
Think about the answer to this question.
After all, people are lazy, especially when a group of people get together, everyone is looking to others to solve the problem. For example, when someone cuts in line, if no one stands up and speaks, everyone will remain silent about it.
Silence, but when one person speaks out to accuse the queue jumper, more people will join in.
Of course, when it comes to lottery games, most people's mentality is more like a research group in college. Everyone is thinking about how to be lazy, so it is best for others to make a report and then sign it yourself.
Therefore, the people who can stand up at this time are most likely to have some ability and are not ashamed to ask questions. They are willing to lower themselves for an answer. After all, the players setting up the stalls may be charlatans in their eyes.
"So these players have also met a lot of capable NPCs. These NPCs all have a very good characteristic-knowledge of goods. After they figured out what probability is, they all realized that this thing is not simple, so they
Those players who can answer their own questions are more respected. After all, there is a saying that the master is the teacher, and these NPCs are still willing to admit the value of these knowledge points; therefore, the players I sent out not only earned
I got some pocket money and a lot of achievement points. The most important thing is to get to know those NPCs who are capable and have certain potential. This is equivalent to expanding my network. In the future, I can ask for a cup of tea when I go to these NPCs.
."
Baihecheng said with a smile: "For example, those young people I met at the beginning, they all regard me as their idol now, because in their eyes, I really know everything. The most important thing is
I can occasionally put forward some opinions that go beyond their cognition and can also provide evidence to prove it, which makes them admire me. If I insist on saying it, I am like the one in many jokes.
As the abbot, I just pointed at something without speaking, and those young people were able to figure out a lot of things to reflect my wisdom, so I now have a few more loyal fans, and they are even willing to reveal the secrets of their own firm.
some information."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Baihe City's ability to fool people could also be used in this martial arts module. However, this is quite normal, because most people still respect knowledge, especially those who know everything.
, people who can achieve self-consistency in logic even when they are cheating, were even regarded as prophets in the ancient tribal period.
"Wait a minute, haven't the people from this trading firm left Far West City yet? I heard that everyone over there has almost left." Yin En suddenly asked.
Baihe City nodded and suddenly said seriously: "Yes, many people have indeed left Far West City now. The number of people still living in the city now is only about 30% compared to before, including
The young people I’m talking about are the ones we call locals because the business firm they work for is one of the earliest in Far West City, and the prototype of this business firm was an inn. Of course, the owner’s staff also
There were several teahouses and restaurants, so I naturally got to know a lot of businessmen who came to do business and discuss business. I also saw that these businessmen could turn one tael of silver into five taels of silver, or even ten taels of silver, just by talking and laughing.
Two pieces of silver! Of course, if it becomes more, you may never see this customer again."
"So, the founder of this business was finally persuaded by a friend and decided to set up a business to make money. As a result, he suffered a big loss due to poor management and had to sell the business to his relatives at a low price.
He was the grandfather of those young people, and then the business entered a stage of stable operation. Basically, there were no major problems. The money earned was not much, but it was not bad; so for these young people,
My grandfather was a little too stable, or he didn’t have any enterprising spirit, so when they were chatting with me, they mentioned what they would do if they became the head of a trading company."
"It's a good thing that young people are motivated, and they don't feel any pressure now, so they are more willing to make big moves, but it is also easy to suffer a loss in paying tuition."
Ding Kun said with a sigh: "I have a relative who is engaged in trade. After all, you also know that my hometown is in Bingcheng. It is quite convenient to do trade there, but you should also know that if you do trade, you are worried about being caught.
Cheating, because this is a waste of money and money. As it turned out, my relative had been stable for decades without making any mistakes and saved a lot of wealth for the family. However, he also fell seriously ill because of overwork, so he could only
He asked his son to take care of the company on his behalf, and you should have guessed what happened next, right?"
"Have you lost both your life and money?"
Looking at Zhang Jingxu, who was very cooperative with him, Ding Kun nodded and said: "Yes, he lost both his life and money. He thought he was doing a big business that would make money fall from the sky, so he did it secretly in order to bring joy to his father, but he didn't expect the other party to do it secretly.
He just disappeared with the goods! Although his family didn't go bankrupt because of this, it also severely damaged their vitality. In the end, they had to sell the company because the old man of the family was so angry that he had no choice but to retire directly, and he
My son was also labeled as an embarrassment, and I had already received a lot of blows, so in the end I had no choice but to wait for death."
