Survivorship Bias

Chapter 124: The oriole is behind

Views:

When An Wujiu and Shen Ti went to the table of "Baohuang", Todo Sakura followed his request and found many guys from other groups, paid them a considerable number of points, and made a small deal.

Ignoring the time to check whether they followed her request, Todo Sakura went straight to the first floor. The sign at the door on the first floor said [the exchange area is in the compartment behind the restaurant on the first floor].

Todo Sakura didn't come to look for the exchange area, so she didn't look much, and walked directly towards the giant champagne tower in the lobby.

There was no one next to the champagne tower, she looked around, and saw an NPC dressed as a waiter in front of a small private room in the restaurant, with a half mask on his head, covering only the upper half of his face.

So Fujido Sakura walked towards that NPC, and said in front of him, "Hi handsome guy, the champagne tower can be sold."

The altar uses a universal translation system for all servers, and the person who initiates the conversation can hear the other party's response translated into her native language in real time.

However, Todo Sakura is used to reading lip shapes, so she was pleasantly surprised to find that the NPC in front of her was Japanese, just like him.

The other party said: "As long as there are enough points, everything here can be sold."

Fujido Sakura grabbed his arm, with a look of surprise, "Wow, we are compatriots."

As she spoke, she began to shake his arm, coquettishly begging him for help, "Then I'll buy your champagne tower."

The little NPC brother pointed to the champagne tower not far away where two glasses were stolen by someone, "Is that?"

"That's right." Todo Sakura nodded, "But I don't just want this one, I want four."

"Four champagne towers?" The NPC knew that this was not something he should ask, but he asked anyway, "Are you sure?"

"Sure, how much is it?" Fujido Sakura opened her game panel and found the payment interface.

"A lot." The NPC reminded her.

"Tell me, I didn't pay for it."

The NPC had no choice but to compromise, "2000 points."

"So much? It's so expensive." Fujido Sakura was a little bit pained. When she first entered the altar, some games only rewarded 3,000 points for clearing the level.

Shen Ti, you'd better reimburse me for everything, including the money I paid for the extras just now.

Todo Sakura complained secretly, after paying for the champagne tower, when she looked up, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the microphone next to the ear of the NPC brother, so she touched it directly, "Can this be used to talk to other employees?"

Players shouldn't be this close to NPCs.

But the NPC couldn't bear to poke it directly, so he had to take a step back and put his back against the door, "Yes."

"Then you come with me." Fujido Sakura took his arm again, because she suddenly thought of how to get them to deliver champagne at the right time.

The NPC tried to stop, "No, I can't get out of my bounds."

"Didn't you say that everything here can be bought?" Todo Sakura smiled, "I will buy you for half an hour, and you are not allowed to resist."

In this way, Fujido Sakura abruptly bought a waiter NPC who was stationed in the restaurant on the first floor, and took him to the second floor.

"Your uniform is too conspicuous." Fujido Sakura took off his tuxedo jacket without saying a word, folded it, and put it in his arms.

"And this." She reached out and took off the mask on the NPC's face regardless.

The face under the mask is clean and delicate, with flustered eyes and a red mole at the end of the right eyebrow.

"You look pretty, why did you lose?" Fujido Sakura held the mask in her hand, and broke his thoughts of continuing to put it on, "It's only half an hour, but I paid you, you have to listen to me."

"What exactly are you going to do?" the NPC asked.

"I'm waiting for a signal. When the signal comes, you immediately tell your colleagues with a microphone and ask them to push the champagne tower up, saying that the altar is prepared for the players. Remember, the bigger the stage, the more lively the better. .”

Is it to attract attention

NPCs get it.

"OK."

Just like that, Fujido Sakura and this NPC disguised as a player stood on the edge of a corner gambling table, while pretending to be watching the game, while carefully aiming at the table of An Wujiu and Shen Ti.

Why don't you give me a password

She was thinking about it in her heart.

The "Da Vinci Code" on the table here was so badly played, Fujido Sakura couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and prepared to change positions, and looked at the other table.

Her mind was full of what An Wujiu had said to her.

[Three things will be entrusted to you.

First, it is necessary to bribe some players on the field to talk about the emperor card of protecting the emperor near Maguire. To put it a bit more mysteriously, give him psychological hints so that he does not dare to take the emperor card.

Second, buy four champagne towers from the restaurant on the first floor, not too many, and let the champagne towers enter the hall together when Shen Ti raises his hands to compare four. Once the players start getting champagne in confusion, find Yirouerci Nanshan and Wu You and tell them that Noah is captured.

Third, on the observation field, if any of the players standing at the railing on the third floor can't get down to get the champagne tower, but turn around and go to other places on the third floor, follow him, and Noah may be there. ]

Fujido Sakura didn't know why An Wujiu set up psychological hints for Maguire, let alone why he could play such a game of chess in such a short period of time, misled Maguire, disrupted the casino, and even found out how to kidnap Noah The address comes to mind.

What a horrible person.

Fortunately, he is so kind, if he is a bad guy, it will be difficult to deal with.

Just as he was thinking, he raised his eyelids, and just in time to see Shen Ti who was sitting at the table not far away raised his hand, making a gesture of four lazily.

"The signal is coming." Fujido Sakura didn't look back, she grabbed the NPC brother's arm and shook it desperately, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's now."

Although Fujido Sakura didn't understand why the signal had to be given, it was probably because Maguire would find out first that Noah's life was threatened.

"What else should I do?" the little NPC brother asked her.

Fujido Sakura waited for the champagne tower to be pushed up, "I'm going to find my teammates."

As he wished, Maguire fell into the trap laid by An Wujiu under the psychological suggestion and the abnormal performance of several people.

Shen Ti is very clear that Maguire, who chose to throw the emperor card, is in the relaxation zone after the extreme tension, and it is also the most difficult stage to concentrate and think.

So at this time, he took the opportunity of negotiating terms with Zhou Yijue to send a signal to Fujido Sakura not far away.

"Four times..." Zhou Yijue repeated softly.

He sensed that things were getting out of his control.

Although, it now seems that Maguire voluntarily gave up the emperor card and threw it to Shen Ti, his next player.

But his intuition told Zhou Yijue that there was a ghost in it.

Shen Ti has now become the emperor in the face. According to the previous plan, the guard card will be handed out to Amy by the croupier he bribed, but now whether the guard card is still in her hand, Zhou Yijue has no idea.

She performed the magic trick of changing cards to everyone. Could it be that she had tampered with it at that time and changed the cards to another person's hand

Zhou Yijue originally thought An Wujiu was strange, but An Wujiu really sat at the table obediently and did nothing.

Could it be Maguire

"Hey, squint your eyes." Shen Ti knocked on the table with his knuckles, reminding him that time is running out, "Speak."

Amy deliberately teased, "How can you call someone like that, he is also a handsome guy anyway."

"Four times is four times!" Maguire was straightforward, thinking about getting rid of the emperor card anyway, although what those people said could not be 100% believed, but in any case, there were three revolutionaries, and the emperor card Cards are also a breeze.

Suddenly, there was a lot of movement in the hall, and many people around stood up from the gaming table and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

Before the game started, Maguire also looked in that direction. Many people blocked the front, and some piles of champagne could barely be seen from the gaps in the crowd, being pushed over.

It's not the same as the waiters who are full of punishment drinks to the front of the gaming table with punishment drinks. This is a champagne tower stacked like a mountain, which is pushed into the hall and stays in front of the gaming table.

There are quite a few of them. Judging by the posture of the crowd, there are about four towers.

Bustling, many people talking, arguing, and robbing, the hall immersed in the symphony for a while became very lively and full of voices.

Shen Ti also craned his neck to look over, his eyes lit up, "There is still someone giving champagne?"

An Wujiu also turned his face away, most of the players in the field of vision were attracted by the huge champagne tower pushed over, as he expected, people would want to drink water when they get nervous, but the only thing that can drink here is St. The punishment drink provided by the altar, everyone knows that drinking this drink will have side effects and affect thinking, so even if they sell it, no one dares to really drink it.

Now there is a new drink out of nowhere, and it is still the best champagne. Although there is no guarantee that everyone will want it, at least few people will not be curious.

"Is this a gift for us or does it have to be paid for?" Shen Ti was still pretending.

Amy got up and left the table, clutched her cards tightly, put on her fur coat and looked around the crowd, only to hear some people say "this wine is really good", and others say "this is the best time I have been treated at the altar" .

She turned around and waved to the four people on the table, asking them to come too, "It seems to be given to the players for free."

Maguire is a gambler, and most gamblers are also alcoholics. He is addicted to alcohol. He has not drank real alcohol for a long time, and he is also a little greedy.

When he was in the lobby on the first floor before, he saw such a big champagne tower. He thought it was strange at the time, but he didn't expect that it was really for them to drink.

He first looked at his team members, and saw that there were still people guarding the spot, so he relaxed and leaned over, unceremoniously pushed away those who blocked the way, and pushed himself forward, first from the champagne tower. Take down a glass and drink it down.

The taste is even better than he imagined, and it is not like a punishment drink, which has side effects immediately after drinking it.

So Maguire stretched out his hand, took four more glasses from the champagne tower, held the slender cup handle, took it back with a clang, and then put it on the gaming table with a clang.

Shen Ti also followed to join in the fun, took two glasses and put one in front of An Wujiu. Although An Wujiu doesn't like to drink and doesn't plan to drink, he is willing to taste what Shen Ti gives him.

"This is precious," Shen Ti said to him, "Before Nanshan and I had two drinks secretly, I thought no one would see it, but when I opened the panel, I found that the system had credited it to me."

Only then did An Wujiu laugh, this was the first time he laughed since he sat down at the gaming table.

Amy took a sip and teased, "Since it's free now, drink more."

Maguire sat back in his seat and saw that Zhou Yijue hadn't moved, "As expected of you, Mr. Zhou, you don't like this kind of champagne."

Zhou Yijue's sour words did not make him sour, but instead made An Wujiu wonder if these two people knew each other before.

In this way, it can also be explained that the two of them colluded together in the game of big talk dice before anyone knew it.

The croupier was still standing by the table, seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, he said, "The game continues." He clicked on the paused countdown, and the countdown resumed.

An Wujiu glanced towards the second floor, and saw the hurried figures of Nan Shan and Wu You.

His heart sank.

Shen Ti smiled, "Where did we talk just now?"

"Just now, everyone agreed to quadruple the chips." Zhou Yijue always had a faint smile on his face, as if nothing could hinder his victory.

"Just quadruple, the loser pays quadruple the chips to the winning team."

"OK." Shen Ti took the words, "How much is the bet worth? How about a thousand?"

"Is 1000 too much?" Amy said, "If my teammates lose their lives because of me, I will feel guilty."

Shen Ti shrugged, "Then 888, how lucky."

Amy looked at him. This person didn't look like a Chinese, but he spoke like a Chinese.

What she didn't know was that in fact, Shen Ti also learned a lot.

"Just 500." Zhou Yijue smiled, "It's easy to calculate."

Maguire stared at An Wujiu, he had not participated in the discussion of chips, as if he didn't care about it.

Everyone does not express their opinions, which is equivalent to acquiescing to this bargaining chip value.

"Okay." The croupier agreed to their principle of four times the chips, and the countdown on the table disappeared.

But he still explained the payout rules for winning and losing.

"The trump card in the royal game is different from other cards. When he wins, he will get the most chips, and when he loses, he must pay a larger chip, which is very risky.

The whole game is considered to have five chips. If the royalists win, they will all get four times the three chips on the opposite side. The three revolutionaries will jointly and evenly pay the compensation. The emperor gets two thirds, that is, 4000 chips, and the guards get two One third, or 2000 chip value. The revolutionaries paid 2,000 chips each.

Conversely, if the royalists lose, the revolutionary party will win four times the two chips of the royalists. The average score is 1333 chip value per person, and the royalist emperor will pay two-thirds of the compensation amount, 2666, the knight Pay 1333. And if the emperor is the last one, then the emperor needs to pay 500 more chips to the three revolutionaries.

If it is a tie, everyone wins or loses, and the chips are returned. "

All in all, the emperor has high risks and high profits. Similarly, it is difficult for the royalists to win, but once they win, they will get more rewards. Once he loses, and loses at the end, the emperor will pay a sky-high 4166 chips.

4000…

An Wujiu looked at Shen Ti.

Once they lose the bet, they will be in big trouble.

The croupier put his hands behind his back, "Now, if the guards want Mingbao, please raise your hand."

After waiting for a while, no one on the field raised their hands.

"Generally, they will be undercover," Amy said.

"That's not necessarily true." Shen Ti said with a smile, "If it were me, I'd jump out and fight openly. What are you afraid of? That's the way to stimulate."

Amy also smiled, "So proficient? Could it be that you are the emperor and you are the guards?"

Shen Ti was unmoved, and looked at Amy with a pair of green eyes that seemed passionate, "Guess?"

"At first glance, you are a master of self-protection."

Amy turned around and looked up at the croupier, "Do you have anything else to say? Little croupier."

The croupier nodded, "Before playing cards, please pay attention. The big king and the little king, including the emperor card and the guard card, can be used as wild cards, but please note that if a player plays cards with these wild cards, the players behind will want to use them." To play a bigger card, one must bring a bigger wild card than the one he used."

In the rules of the game: Emperor Card>King>Guard Card>Little Trump Card, any combination of these cards is equivalent to an extra poker card of the same number.

"This table game does not distinguish suits, it simply compares numbers, there is no straight flush."

After the croupier finished speaking the rules, he raised his hand and slid it lightly in the air. A virtual panel immediately appeared in front of everyone, on which were the options of the players in the group.

"Everyone, the game is about to start, please designate your respective chip targets."

An Wujiu has already opened the authority to decide the bargaining chip to all members of the group.

He didn't seem to think about it, and directly checked his name on the virtual panel in front of him.

There was a sound from the panel, [Player An Wujiu's choice of chips is: An Wujiu. ]

Hearing this, Maguire laughed loudly, "Hahaha, is there really someone so noble that he chooses himself as a bargaining chip? He really thinks he is a saint!"

The corners of An Wujiu's mouth curled up, and he who was originally sitting upright leaned back into the soft chair, with a smile on his lips.

Amy felt weird, it was just a change of expression and movement, but An Wujiu in front of her seemed to be a completely different person.

"What? Is there a rule that you can't use yourself as a bargaining chip?"

An Wujiu glanced lazily, his dark eyes fixed on Maguire, and there was an evil look in his smile.

"Maguire, don't you like to look at me?"

As he spoke, he blinked slowly, his upper and lower eyelashes slightly touched, and then separated.

"The me who broke both arms was covered in blood, I couldn't resist..."

"Shouldn't you prefer it?"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The payout rules of Royal Poker are a bit more complicated, and points are calculated, so I have made some adjustments here.

But in fact, it is very simple to play, that is, the big ones suppress the small ones. For example, A will play 3 js, B will play 3 qs, and C will play 3 A. If no one wants it, then C will continue to play. If no one wants it, continue to play C, and play like this until the cards in your hand are exhausted.

In addition to the camp, there are two members of the royalist party and three members of the revolutionary party. If the revolutionary party wants to block the emperor, the guards will help the emperor (if the emperor is not blocked, let him go, or give him a card)

This game is fun except that the emperor is in the clear, and the rest has to be guessed, and you have to intrigue and stumble
