"Essence" determines the choices a person can make in a critical moment
In gambling, seeing through the "essence" of the opponent is a shortcut to victory.
Once seen through, it will be disrupted, induced, and even manipulated, and eventually step into the abyss of failure.
The failure of Mr. Jing belongs to this situation.
Feng Bujue's language, behavior... While advancing the game, he is also testing the opponent's "essence".
Take this opponent as an example... Brother Jue soon discovered that the essence of Mr. Jing is "concession", or "concession on the premise that there is still room".
It should be more appropriate to describe this kind of people as "conservatives who are strong outside but capable in the middle"...
Years of bureaucratic style has allowed him to develop the principle of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault; as long as there is room for maneuver and safety... he will make concessions and tell himself that "this is rational an unavoidable choice".
But in fact, due to lack of ability, he simply cannot judge what is a rational and correct concession...
...
"The settlement begins now." The referee immediately said after hearing the "declaration of surrender", "The party who made the question announced its surrender in the twenty-first round, and the fine is... US dollars."
"What... what! So much?" Mr. Jing couldn't help shouting when he heard the amount, "Why did I lose so much after I surrendered?"
"The penalty formula is written in the rules, you can check it yourself." The referee replied coldly.
When Mr. Jing heard this, he lowered his head in a dull manner, picked up the printer paper with the rules written on it from the middle layer of the cart, and found the relevant content.
Starting from the twenty-first round, the second penalty formula is adopted, namely: , while the first round is .
To sum up, the fine of Mr. Jing is: 0)%+%+, it is indeed US dollars...
"Understood?" The referee waited for Mr. Jing for a minute, then continued.
"In addition, the amount of the 'gambling round' has to be counted, which is 1,000 US dollars, so... the end of the game, the question maker should pay the guesser US dollars, please pay."
"Damn... Damn..." Mr. Jing gritted his teeth, and reluctantly took out the money from his plastic bag.
After the referee took the banknotes. He took out a money counter from the trolley and quickly counted out the correct amount. And handed it over to Feng Bujue.
"Hehe... Thank you." Feng Bujue took the money from the referee with a smile, and thanked Mr. Jing.
"Huh..." Mr. Jing snorted coldly, clenched his hands into fists, and his whole body was trembling from the frustration of failure.
"Then..." At this time, the referee took out the paper with the correct answer that Mr. Jing put on him just now from his jacket pocket, "This answer is invalid from now on." The piece of paper was stuffed into the shredder on the bottom floor of the trolley, "Two... please prepare for the second duel."
...
Just as they clear the table and checkout...
"Friend, come play with me."
"I challenge you. Yes, it's you."
"Handsome guy, can you show me your face?"
"I want to challenge you, come on."
Among the surrounding crowd, many people suddenly started to move.
Those who took the lead in taking action... have already seen the danger of this game, so they quickly launched a "challenge" to the people around them.
...
at the same time.
The second floor of the main hall.
"Hehe... finally realize it." The organizer looked at those who started the duel one after another, and said with a smile, "but... no matter how fast they are, they can't catch up with the man wearing the crow mask. It's game time."
"Master." The big man in a suit stepped forward to remind him in due course, "That gentleman...is called Jiang Daode."
"Jiang Daode?" The organizer responded. Immediately after a few operations on the tablet device in his hand, he retrieved Jiang Daode's information from the database, "Well...well-known entrepreneurs...top ten outstanding young people...the game industry...the company is on the verge of bankruptcy...is it..."
...
On the other hand, the second match between Feng Bujue and Mr. Jing is about to start.
At this time, Brother Jue quickly painted six numbers on the paper and handed it over to the referee.
The moment he saw those six numbers, the referee almost knelt down...
"Are you... sure it's the six numbers?" The referee looked at the paper with "1456" written on it. Under the sunglasses, there was a painful look in his eyes.
"Yes." Brother Jue replied without thinking.
The referee nodded: "Okay..." He put the paper away, and turned to look at Mr. Jing, "Then please guess the answer and say 'round declaration' first."
"Fifty rounds." Mr. Jing chose a very safe number; of course... In terms of his ability, he doesn't have the capital to take risks.
"1000 US dollars." Feng Bujue also gave a minimum bet amount.
"Wait!" Mr. Jing immediately said loudly, "This bet is wrong? Your current holdings are already in US dollars, and you have to place an ante bet of at least 1,320 US dollars.
"
"Hmph..." Feng Bujue chuckled, "How about you go and check the rules clearly?"
"Huh?" Mr. Jing was taken aback by what he said, and then went to look up the rules.
In the end, he was dumbfounded again...
In the rules, it is written like this. During the "gambling round", the minimum bet amount of the question maker should not be less than 1% of the total gold held at the beginning of the duel
Note that the is used here instead of .
This concept is undoubtedly different, because a "one" duel...a total of two "rounds".
"As this gentleman said." A few seconds later, the referee also spoke, "The minimum amount of the 'gambling round' is calculated according to the proportion of gold held at the beginning of the duel. He lost only a few hundred dollars in the first round, so wouldn’t it only cost him a few dollars to make an ante in the second round?”
"Cut..." Mr. Jing spat, "Okay, okay~ One thousand is one thousand." He took the pen and looked ready to go, "First round. I call for a bet of 680 US dollars, you and Not with?"
Mr. Jing's holdings in this game are in US dollars, and the "minimum bet amount for each round" is still calculated according to his total holding money at the beginning of the game, so his betting amount is reduced accordingly.
"I surrender." Unexpectedly, the next second, Feng Bujue replied in a very calm tone...
When he said this, Mr. Jing had already written two zeros on the paper...
"You cast... um?" Until the six zeros were about to be written. Mr. Jing finally realized, "What? You surrender?"
Feng Bujue ignored him at all, looked directly at the referee and said, "Mr. Referee, settle the settlement."
"So that's how it is..." The referee was thinking to himself at this moment, "This kid planned to surrender in the first round, so he can write anything..."
So, the referee calculated in his mind for a few seconds, and then announced: "The party who proposed the question surrendered in the first round, and the fine is... US$6,868."
When Mr. Jing heard this number, he really wanted to curse...
But he didn't question it again, because he just went over the rules again, so he knew that the number was correct.
Because Feng Bujue surrendered in the first round. So he refers to the first set of formulas, that is, after substituting the numbers, it is )%+68+3400, and the result is just a few thousand dollars.
"Counting the amount of the 'gambling round', the total is 7868 US dollars." The referee looked at Jue Ge and said. "please pay."
Feng Bujue casually took out a stack of money and handed it to the referee, and said, "What about change?"
"Of course we are prepared." When the referee responded, he had taken out a small box from the locked part in the middle of the trolley, and the box was stuffed with several types of small denomination banknotes.
To make a long story short, the number-guessing duel between Feng Bujue and Mr. Jing is over.
finally. Feng Bujue won US dollars from the other party, accounting for almost a quarter of the other party's total loan amount.
Seeing this, the onlookers finally realized the importance of "total amount of gold held" in this game.
Although the ante of "gambling round" is to see how much money you have at the beginning of the duel, but the "surrender penalty" is to see how much money your opponent has at the beginning of each round...
When the player acts as the "guessing solution", the higher the total amount of money held, the higher the opponent's penalty will be, relatively. If you hold less money, the other party can pay less fines.
From this point of view, the "challenger" undoubtedly occupies the dominant position, because the challenger can act as the "guessing party" first, as long as you gain enough benefits in the guessing game and lower the opponent's capital limit, then When you serve as the questioner, the surrender penalty you need to pay will naturally be reduced.
And... this kind of "financial advantage" is basically a snowball effect. Those who win will become more and more profitable, while those who lose will become more and more difficult to come back, so... hurry up!
...
"I challenge you!"
"I challenge you!"
"No, I challenged you first!"
"Nonsense, I said it first!"
For a moment, the surrounding crowd was in chaos.
Those who responded quickly had already calmly found someone to start the duel when the first round between Brother Jue and Mr. Jing was settled.
As for the "slow" guys at the moment, or... "the vast majority of people", they only reacted after watching the settlement of the second round, and they challenged each other anxiously, and everyone wanted to be the guesser first.
Scenes like this are commonplace for men in suits and sunglasses, and they are familiar with how to deal with them.
"Everyone, calm down, don't make any noise, the two who need to confront each other, please come to the table first."
"Come to the table, both of you."
"Don't be impatient, please come to me."
Under the persuasion of the men in suits, those who had disputes came to the table one after another. Then... the men in suits took out their tablet devices one after another and retrieved the real-time video to determine who "spoke" the challenge declaration first.
...
on the other hand…
"Hmph... You'll win this time." After taking back the 7868 dollars, Mr. Jing read to Brother Jue viciously, "Our mountains and rivers have a phase..."
"No more." Feng Bujue interrupted without letting the other party finish his harsh words. "People like you... are destined not to leave this ship tonight."
"What are you talking about..." Mr. Jing became a little annoyed, and stepped forward with his arms and sleeves rolled up, as if he wanted to be violent.
However, when he rushed in front of Brother Jue, a chill hit his whole body.
At that moment, Mr. Jing not only could no longer speak, even breathing became very difficult.
He suddenly had a feeling that the person under that weird crow mask... seemed not to be a human being. But something more terrifying, an unknown creature...
"It doesn't matter if you agree with what I said, or if you don't agree, I still have to say that." Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Feng Bujue continued coldly, "If you are not convinced by the loss, I don't mind trying again later." Bet with you once, or even twice or three times, until you have won all your money."
Mr. Jing didn't answer any more, but flinched...
"But now..." Feng Bujue said, turning around slowly.
At this moment, a tall man wearing a golden crying mask. Already standing behind Brother Jue.
"I kept you waiting for a long time." Feng Bujue looked at the other party and said along the way.
"Hehe... it's only a minute or two." The tall man replied with a smile.
These two lines of dialogue between the two of them sounded like ordinary polite words to others, and they seemed to have no beginning and no end.
But in fact, these two simple "greetings" are not only mutual testing, but also mutual demonstration of strength.
Feng Bujue's "keep you waiting for a long time" is intended to explain "I know you have been behind me for a long time, waiting to challenge me".
And the tall man responded calmly. As well as his act of "challenging the crow mask man" itself, it also shows that he is by no means an ordinary person.
"Then... let's start." Feng Bujue continued.
"Yes." The tall man said, then he took a step and walked boldly to the place where Mr. Jing was standing before.
"Referee, I have challenged this gentleman wearing a crow mask." As he walked, he turned his head and greeted the referee.
The referee heard the words. He glanced at Brother Jue; although he was wearing sunglasses at this time, he could feel... he was using a questioning look.
"What are you looking at me for?" Feng Bujue responded, "This is my second duel, and I can't refuse the challenge until this one is over."
"In that case, then... please come up with the question first." The referee continued.
Feng Bujue shrugged, took out another blank sheet of paper from the cart, and spread it on the table; he still didn't think much about it. Just write a set of numbers.
This time, when the referee took over the "answer sheet", he was ready to see "1456" again, but... Brother Jue's answer this time was more normal, it was "".
"Huh? There are no repeated numbers..." the referee immediately thought, "But... if you think about it carefully, on the premise that all the numbers are bound to be tested in the first nine rounds, deliberately not using repeated numbers seems to be a good choice. After all' Which six numbers' is not a problem from the tenth round, and there are more combinations that do not repeat under the premise that the numbers are determined."
Thinking of this, the referee put the answer in his jacket pocket, and then said to the tall man, "Please declare the round."
"Hehe..." The man chuckled twice, "Eighteen rounds."
"What?" Mr. Jing, who was standing aside and hadn't gone far, couldn't help but yelled out when he heard this.
"Hmph... what's all the fuss about." The tall man looked at Mr. Jing, only to find it funny, "By the way... why are you still here?"
When asked by him, Mr. Jing was not happy: "What's the matter? Can't I just stand here and watch for a while?"
"Don't you understand?" The tall man replied, "Right now... it's time to race against time..." He raised his finger to seal it, "That Mr. Crow's Mouth gave you a few for nothing just to buy time." A thousand dollars, why don't you know how to cherish it?"
"What did you say?" Mr. Jing asked suspiciously, "When did he send me thousands of dollars?"
"Oh?" The tall man laughed again when he heard this, "Why? Don't you even know the most basic things like 'how many rounds you can escape'?" He shook his head and continued, "Huh... No wonder people say you won't be able to leave tonight."
"You guys, what are you all talking about!" Mr. Jing's anger was provoked again, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush!"
"Ah..." The tall man sighed and explained, "Then I'll just give an example... If that gentleman played with you for a while, for example... wait until the nineteenth round suddenly surrenders, you can do the math yourself. What was the difference between the penalty and the stake you paid back then."
This kind of mental arithmetic that elementary school students can complete, Mr. Jing can still complete, he looked down at the formula in the rules, and immediately calculated.
More than ten seconds later, Mr. Jing's face changed drastically, and he muttered: "Ante bets of $680 for 18 times are... and the fine for surrendering in the 19th round is... I... Not only did I not win, but I also lost 748?"
"That's right." The tall man continued, "However, you still have the 1,000 dollars for the betting round, so you can still earn 252 dollars (because the bet for the betting round is fixed at 1,000, so when Mr. It is still a slight loss in the nineteenth round, and you will not be able to make a profit until the twentieth round), but it is far worse than 7868?" He paused for half a second, and then said, "Then if... he delays until the twentieth round What about surrendering after the round? You don’t have to forget it, let me tell you...even if you count the $1,000 betting round, you still have to lose $40..." He smiled (although the other party couldn't see it) and said, "This... is the so-called The 'escape round' is on; it's very important for the side that goes first, but you don't take it well... When you're the side, you're a round or two early and you raise the stakes on the other side Surrender before, even if you can't win too much money, at least you won't lose more than 30,000."
"I... I..." Mr. Jing gritted his teeth regretfully under the mask, and said depressingly, "If I could go one round sooner..."
"There is no such assumption." The tall man interrupted him, "I advise you to find a place quickly, first calculate the comparison between fines and benefits in each round... and then while everyone still has to accept the challenge, Finish your 'Second Showdown', as for what we're going to play here..." He said, looking at Brother Jue again, "It's not a game that people of your level can get involved in at all... ") Please Visit http://..
