"Hey, hello, this gentleman wearing a crow mask." Just as the man in the suit was giving money to Brother Jue, the man wearing a white opera mask who had spoken to the organizer before came over to him. He said, "One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount, is it? Is it really good to borrow the maximum amount without even thinking about it?"
"Heh..." Feng Bujue laughed immediately after hearing the words, "Is this a question of 'good or bad'?"
The other party was taken aback by his question and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Brother Jue chuckled again when he saw this, and continued: "Although I don't know what the next game will be, there is one thing that is indisputable... the 'chip' is equivalent to the 'life' in the game. 'what."
This metaphor of his made many people around him suddenly enlightened.
"Since the organizer is very 'kind' to provide us with this kind of interest-free loan." Feng Bujue paused for two seconds, and then said, "Then why should I be timid and restrain myself?"
He was right... The amount of the loan this time directly determines the degree of freedom that the players can obtain in the subsequent games. Naturally, they can borrow as much as they can right now.
"This..." The man in the opera mask stood there thinking for a few seconds, and then continued, "Huh... you said that because you chose to accept the sponsor's protection after you failed, right? So you don't care about the extra 100,000 yuan debt."
"No, I chose to disembark." When Feng Bujue said this, the man in the suit had already prepared the cash, and Brother Jue took the plastic bag full of US dollars and continued, "Choose' Accepting protection' is equivalent to betting the rest of your life directly here; in contrast... If you choose to disembark, you still have at least a month to think about it."
After finishing speaking, he took the money bag and walked to a sofa by the wall of the main hall.
"Of course... the above is just my personal understanding." Before Feng Bujue walked away, he deliberately left a sentence at the man wearing an opera mask, "You can definitely get involved in a scene that may involve the rest of your life." Borrowing the minimum amount in the game. Maybe that's the right thing to do."
His tone was full of sarcasm, even if he couldn't see his face, the other party could still feel the strong power of sarcasm...
"Cut..." The man in the opera mask felt a little upset, but he also understood. The guy in the crow mask was actually doing him a favor, so he didn't say anything more, he just stepped forward, picked up a "disembark after failure" contract, and filled in 100,000 yuan amount and signed his name.
...
Long story short...
Less than fifteen minutes. All the guests in this main hall have already filled out the contract.
Due to Feng Bujue's previous performance, more than 60% of the people ended up borrowing 100,000 US dollars, which is the upper limit of the loan amount.
However, there are still many people who choose a more moderate amount; among them, the most borrowed 70,000 and 80,000, but the least is no less than 50,000.
After all... everyone has their own ideas; whether it is unreasonable stubbornness or rational analysis, not everyone will agree with Brother Jue's opinion just because of those few words.
In addition to the amount, there are even fewer people who agree with Feng Bujue on the choice of "where to go after failure"...
Obviously, today's desperate and desperate guests are more inclined to the "luck" and "hope" given by the organizer. Rather than the so-called "spend another month to figure out a way."
This is also normal, because... if there was a way, they would have figured it out.
Another ten minutes passed.
After confirming that all the magnetic cards and contracts had been recovered, the men in suits and sunglasses left the main hall together pushing the trolley.
About two minutes later, the organizer appeared next to the railing on the second floor again.
This time, he didn't even say hello, and went straight to the point: "Since everyone has completed the loan, then... let's get to the point quickly."
Feng Bujue could feel that the organizer couldn't wait.
And Brother Jue himself... is essentially looking forward to what is about to happen.
"Except for those who lost their qualifications before boarding the ship... At this moment, there are a total of 237 guests in this main hall." The organizer paused for a second. He began to explain, "The 'first game' I prepared for you is-guess the number."
...
Guess the number, also known as _Cos, is an ancient code-breaking game.
Usually suitable for two or more people to play together.
Take a two-player game as an example: one party first sets a number. And the other side to guess.
The person who sets the number should think of a four-digit decimal number without repeated numbers (that is, four digits, ten numbers, and no repeated numbers), and cannot let the guesser know. Then, the guesser can start "guessing the number".
Every time the guessing party guesses a number, the person who guesses the number should give a response of "how many A what" according to the number guessed by the other party; among them, the number before A indicates the number of numbers in the correct position, and the number before A indicates the number The number of correct but incorrectly positioned numbers.
For example—if the correct answer set by the numerator is 23. And the guesser guessed 2485, the situation at this time is 1A2; among them, the number and position of the first 2 are already correct, which is recorded as 1A, and the two numbers 5 and 8 are correct, but the position is not correct, so Record it as 2.
In the same way - if the correct answer set by the numberer is 1234, and the guesser guesses 4321, then the result is 0A4, all the numbers are right, but the positions are all wrong.
And so on...
After one round of guessing, the guesser can continue reasoning based on the "how many A and few" obtained in the last guess until the correct answer (ie 4A0) is guessed.
...
It's not a particularly complex game, but it involves memory, reasoning, calculation, and luck, and it's not that simple to play.
Therefore, when the organizer uttered the three words "guess the number", the people below all had their own calculations in their hearts.
And their reactions were naturally within the organizer's expectations...
The organizer didn't pause for too long, and then continued: "Of course, it is impossible to guess the number normally, because it is too easy... Whether it is using the standard rules (four digits, ten digits, no repeated digits), or the rules (four digits, six digits, including repeated numbers), as long as you master the correct solution, you will be able to guess it about seven times, and if you are lucky, you can guess it within five times..." He paused. "So... I slightly increased the difficulty and changed it to - six digits, ten digits, including repeated numbers."
What he said, many people downstairs have already started to have a headache...
Funny thing... it's not the people who are bad at math that are having headaches, it's the people who are really good at math.
As the sponsor said. The standard rules and rules for guessing numbers all have solutions. Even people who don’t know the solutions, as long as they have enough reasoning ability and a little luck, they can guess the answer within ten times (Feng Bujue) In this case, he can do it in eight times).
And the words of ordinary people. Even those with poor reasoning ability... basically guessed it within twenty times.
However, if the number of digits to guess the number is increased to six, and the premise of "repeatability" is added, then... the difficulty will increase exponentially...
"Okay, I don't want to waste your time..."
When the organizer said this, a large group of men in suits and sunglasses poured in from the entrances of the main hall on the first floor; this time, there were hundreds of people who came in, and each of them was pushing a relatively small cart .
This kind of cart is different from the one with the mountain of banknotes installed before. The length and width of the top of the cart are only about 100*50 cm, so it can't hold too many things. However, the height of this cart is quite high, about 1.2 meters.
"What you see now is the desktop for your 'confrontation'." While the organizer was talking, the men in suits pushed the trolleys to various places in the main hall, fixed them and arranged them. Under the notarization, they will be responsible for recording and implementing the results of your duel, and supervise the cheating behavior."
"Wait!" At this moment, a slightly bloated woman wearing a raccoon mask on the first floor said loudly to the organizer, "What if you don't understand the rules of 'guess the number'? Isn't it unfair? "
"Heh..." the host laughed at that time. "Hehe... Hahahaha..." His laughter was full of contempt.
"What? Isn't this kind of game weird?" The woman was a little annoyed, and she asked again loudly.
"Hehe... Sorry, I think you misunderstood." The organizer laughed, "I didn't laugh at the first half of your sentence. It was the second half..." He shook his head, "Fair? Fair... Fair! Hahahahaha …”
He repeated those two words over and over in three different tones, and then laughed again.
At this moment, many people in the venue also laughed - there were sneers, ridicule, and wry smiles...
Amid those laughter, the woman's body trembled slightly. In the end... She lowered her head dejectedly and said nothing more.
Although the organizer did not answer her question directly, the answer to this question has been conveyed to everyone here.
"OKOK... Let me continue." After laughing for a while, the organizer finally stopped and continued, "I have indeed considered the fact that some guests may not understand the rules of the 'guess the number' game, so... He raised his arm and motioned to the men in suits, "On each 'desktop', in addition to the necessary paper and pen for the game, I also printed two detailed rules of 'guess the number' with pictures and texts; Anyone who knows or doesn’t know the rules can pick it up and have a look to confirm it again.”
At this point, the organizer paused for a few seconds, and then said: "I won't explain the detailed rules one by one, but there are a few more important rules, I think it's better for me to inform everyone..." He cleared his throat, and continued, "Uh-huh... First, everyone has to conduct a number-guessing duel with at least four different opponents. Of course, exceptions are made for those who cannot duel due to exhaustion of chips.
"Secondly, in the duel, the amount called by the 'betting party' each time must not be less than 1% of the total loan amount. , it will be regarded as a failure. However, if the opponent cannot follow due to insufficient funds in the betting round, then you can use all the current amount and the opponent to complete the current round.
"Third, in order to avoid the situation where someone deliberately avoids duels, all players must accept the 'challenge' of others in the 'first two times', no matter who the opponent is. Only those who have already played two duels, Only then can you reject the challenge of others.
"Fourth, by the end of the game, that is, at twelve o'clock midnight... Except for the sixty-four people who have the most chips, everyone else is penniless, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands left , will all be considered losers.”
When he finished these four points, two tall men in suits and sunglasses came behind him carrying a sofa chair that looked very expensive.
The organizer turned his head and glanced back, then nodded, and then the two big men put down the sofa chair.
"Well... that's all for now, you can read the other details yourself."
The sponsor spoke and sat down leisurely.
He leaned his back against the back of the chair, put his hands on the two armrests, and raised his legs in an elegant and coquettish posture...
Not long after, the two big men in suits and sunglasses beside him moved a small round table that looked like diamonds (if it was real, it might be more expensive than the eight prizes today), and put a few on the table. A plate of melon and fruit snacks, truffles (yes, this is not random, he uses good truffles to eat with other kinds of snacks) chicken feet.
Looking at his virtues, it was as if he was performing what is called "sit and watch the show" in a textbook-like way.
"Master, the red wine and sweet noodle sauce you want with wasabi (that's it)..." After the organizer sat down, one of the two men in suits and sunglasses went to get another drink that didn't look too good in color, and put it on the tray , and handed it to the former, "The chef said, this is Lafite from 1982, the exquisite sauce of Lao Ganda, and Japanese..."
"Where's the umbrella?" The organizer didn't let the other party finish speaking, but interrupted the other party with a somewhat inexplicable question.
"Huh?" The big man was stunned for a moment, "Umbrella... Umbrella?" It seems that he didn't understand the meaning of the question "Master".
"Didn't I say that?" The sponsor shrugged, "After it's done, put it in a goblet, insert a small umbrella and bring it up."
"Sub... this subordinate understands!" Facing this nonsensical request, the big man replied seriously, "I'll just dump it and let them do it all over again!"
"Oh~ forget it." The organizer stopped the big man, took the cup of exotic drink, and held it in his hand... Then, he said in a sad tone, "It's a pity, sometimes it's also a kind of beauty~" (.)
