"Is it that simple?" Zhang Ke asked suspiciously.
"It's as simple as that. There are no loopholes in words or traps in the rules. Just like the rules you heard, as long as you guess correctly which cup the sea flower is hidden in, you will be considered a winner." The bartender said calmly.
"Okay, let's get started." Zhang Ke nodded slightly, while Yuan Mengmeng stood aside, looking at the confrontation between Zhang Ke and the bartender incomprehensibly.
What kind of riddle are the two of them playing? Why do they look like old acquaintances even though they are strangers? And the Shanghai Flower Bar, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere - oh, by the way, it seems to be Xu Xiaoli
I met Zhang Ke in that bar, so was it some kind of shady entertainment place?
Yuan Mengmeng had a thousand questions in her mind, but the inexplicably serious and mysterious atmosphere at the scene made her speechless. Her intuition told her that Zhang Ke seemed to have something very important to do.
, so we need to find the specific address of the Shanghai Flower Bar, not just a place to spend time and drink.
And the bartender also seemed to be keeping secrets. It was the first time I saw a bar where a guest was actively pushed out and refused to enter. The two people seemed to be having a sophisticated and indispensable communication like espionage. He shouldn't be in this bar.
Excuse me at this time.
Thinking of this, Yuan Mengmeng could only follow her intuition and quietly step aside without making any noise or asking questions. Everything that happened today had made her a little exhausted physically and mentally. She just hoped to return home as soon as possible and have a good sleep.
I'll take a nap and ask Zhang Ke clearly when I get up tomorrow.
——Although, this so-called "tomorrow" will never come in the cyclically closed time wheel.
"It's started, you can choose." The bartender stretched out his hand, tapped each of the three cups, and said, "Their numbers are A, B, and C. Please tell me the letters."
"Wait a minute, didn't you put the flowers in in front of me, and then kept changing the positions of the three of them, so that I could identify which one had the flowers in it?" Zhang Ke asked strangely.
"No, that would be the same as telling you the answer directly. After all, I don't have dazzling hand speed, so I can't hide it from your eyes." The bartender smiled, "Under one of the cups, there was already something there.
A sea flower is placed, you just need to guess based on your intuition."
"Isn't it just a matter of luck?" Zhang Ke said with some confusion, "The probability of there being flowers in the three cups is one-third. I don't have any other means to rule out the possibility or narrow the range. Just guess.
The essence is the same, what’s the point?”
"It's just a small game for entertainment. It really has no meaning, but it's just for a little bit of luck." The bartender nodded lightly.
"Okay, then I'll guess cup B." Zhang Ke said.
"Sure enough, just like before, when you face a difficult decision, you will always choose the most balanced place." The bartender said with a sigh as if he knew Zhang Ke very well, "Since
You just said that there is no way to narrow the scope, so I will take the initiative to send you a tip."
"Huh?" Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows and said casually, "I knew this game was not that simple. The next prompt is the highlight."
"That's a matter of opinion." The bartender stretched out his hand and opened a cup, but there was nothing inside.
However, what he opened was the A cup that was not chosen by Zhang Ke.
"What... do you mean? Eliminate a wrong answer?" Zhang Ke stared at the cup and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, the difficulty of this game has been reduced again. You only have two options to guess." The bartender said calmly, "Whether you want to maintain the original option B, or change it to the remaining option C, please give me your answer.
I have a definite answer.”
"Well -" Zhang Ke held his chin and said with some confusion, "Does your move mean anything? Is it just to increase the chance of my guessing right from one-third to one-half? But isn't that still the case?
Does it depend on luck?"
"No matter what you do, luck is unavoidable, but it is something that people love and hate." The bartender squinted his eyes and seemed to say with a smile, "It's just that although luck is a ubiquitous factor, it is not as important as
It does not mean that humans cannot manipulate and utilize it. People who truly hold their destiny in their own hands can make the so-called luck work for themselves."
"So, do you want to change the answer?" the bartender continued, "Although I'm not in a hurry, this is just a simple game, so you don't need to worry too much."
"...Mengmeng, what do you think?" Zhang Ke looked at the two cups in front of him. One was the B he originally chose, and the other was the remaining C. Shanghai Flower could only be in one of these two cups.
inside, but the bartender’s clues also end there.
"Why don't you change?" Yuan Mengmeng looked at the bartender with an unrecognizable face and the bar that appeared inexplicably in the subway car. She felt that everything around her was so weird and mysterious, and she felt every word of the other person.
They are all like traps that are hard to guard against:
"You see, he keeps asking you if you want to change your answer. It feels like he wants you to change. Maybe Shanghai Flower is really in B. He doesn't want you to guess correctly, so he deliberately added an extra step just to shake you.
of firmness.”
"Well, what you said makes sense -" Although Zhang Ke agreed with Yuan Mengmeng's words, he did not immediately decide whether to choose B. Instead, he fell silent, stared at the two cups for a long time, and finally slowly stretched out his hand.
, pointing to one of them.
"I choose, C cup." Zhang Ke said solemnly, "You can announce the answer."
"Have you finally decided to change your options?" Although the bartender covered his face, just from the curvature of his eyebrows, you can see that his smile was more obvious than before, even a little scary, "Don't change the previous answer.
Do you want to persist until the end? You can have unlimited opportunities to change your answer before you are determined to open a cup."
"Zhang Ke, let's choose B...Looking at how much he talks, I always feel that there is some deceit in it, and he must be deliberately disturbing you." Yuan Mengmeng said a little uneasily.
"It is true that I am using words to interfere and guide, but I'm afraid it's not what you guessed before."
