"I'm going to be a big player, Raj is the assistant card counter, and Sam is in control. Taylor ordered three people, gathered all the cards on the table and pushed them to Xiao Yao, "In order to prove that we are not cheating, you will be the dealer!"

"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "I want to observe from the side! I'm sure you won't cheat, so let's find someone else to be the dealer!"

"I'll come!" Yu Gang took the initiative to take over the deck.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao got up and stood aside, letting Yu Gang sit down.

Raj and Sam dragged their chairs across from Yu Gang and sat opposite Yu Gang, but Taylor didn't mean to sit down, but Yan Ke and Sandra also dragged their chairs and sat down.

"The big players don't enter the game at first, and they don't enter the game until the card counter gives a signal. Taylor explained, "Yan and Sandra play strange ordinary players, and their role is only to make the cards deplete faster, and it has nothing to do with us!"

"Understood!" Xiao Yao nodded.

After Yu Gang sat down, he first added the remaining cards from Taylor to the deck and shuffled them again. This leaves the entire deck with nine decks of cards. However, after shuffling, Yu Gang simulated the situation where Taylor took some of the cards in the opening stage just now, took out some of the cards and put them aside, and then began to deal the cards.

The five of them played for a while, and after one of the games ended, Taylor suddenly smiled and said to Xiao Yao: "It's time for me to enter the game!"

"Huh~" Xiao Yao smiled.

"Off topic," Taylor asked Xiao Yao again, "how did you find out how Raj notified me of my entry?"

"He sent you a code!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"And did you find out what the code is?" Taylor asked.

"Yes. Xiao Yao nodded.

"Jan, I don't believe it!" cried Sandra, "what do you say our code is?"

"Don't you believe it?" Xiao Yao looked at Sandra with some surprise, and then looked at Taylor and the others, "Don't tell me that you only have one code, and the code used when you act is the same!"

Raj put his hands behind his back to make a code, and from where Sandra was sitting, he shouldn't be able to see Raj's code. Now Sandra wants Xiao Yao to say the code, which means that they probably have only one unified code.

"There are many codes at the table, and there is only one one to notify your partner to enter the game. Sandra replied to Xiao Yao, and then asked a little strangely, "It's just to inform your companion to play, do you need a lot of different codes?"

"No wonder it didn't take long for you to be arrested by the casino!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.

"Hey~" Sandra said dissatisfiedly, "You said we were caught by the casino because of the code?" Wait, did you really see our code? You haven't said what our code is!"

"With both hands behind your back, grab the wrist of your right hand with your left hand!" Xiao Yao turned around and made a movement, turned around and asked, "That's right?"

"Yes!" Sandra nodded reluctantly, and then asked, "What's wrong with this code?"

"First of all, this code is neither hidden nor natural!" Xiao Yao said, "This action seems to be stretching the waist? People will move their bodies after sitting for a long time, but the normal action when people stretch their waists is to grab the palm of the other hand with one hand, so that the force of the shoulders on both sides is more even, who will use one hand to grab the wrist of the other hand? Even if it is done behind him, the dealer dealer can't see it, but the casino is full of surveillance cameras, and there are special monitoring personnel. If I were a casino monitor, I would definitely pay special attention to this action!"

"Secondly," Xiao Yao continued, "this action of playing the code is not very clever, it will attract the attention of the casino monitoring personnel, you only have this one action, which means that this action will appear repeatedly, which is even more attention-grabbing." I've heard that you guys go to the casino and do disguises, and it's useless for you to disguise yourself with this action as a sign!"

"It seems to make sense!" The people in the card counting group listened to Xiao Yao's words, lowered their heads and thought about it, and couldn't help but nod.

"Maybe there's a reason for that. Yan Ke said to Xiao Yao, "Maybe we should wait for you to come before going to the casino." You're an actor and a director, and you can design more subtle and natural code actions for us, right?"

The people in the card counting group are all mathematical geniuses, not all-round geniuses. They play card counting just for fun, not professional gamblers, and it is inevitable that they are some amateurs in other aspects, and they are not so thoughtful. And when it comes to camouflage and designing code actions, Xiao Yao, who has been a director and an actor, should obviously be better than them in this regard.

"It's not too late!" Taylor patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder, "When the other two assistant card counters are in place, you can redesign the code for your action team at that time." ”

Xiao Yao smiled noncommittally and said to Taylor: "It's time for you to play!"

"OK!" Taylor sat down and joined the game.

After Taylor joined, the amount of chips bet per game was obviously much larger than that of Raj and Sam, but Xiao Yao did not just stare at him after Taylor joined, but focused more on Raj and Sam.

In the following games, Xiao Yao found that Raj was acting as always, but Sam occasionally made some suggestive moves, as if he was sending a code to Taylor in stages. Whenever Sam gives some hints, Taylor's expression doesn't change, but the amount of bets changes. Xiao Yao basically guessed the role of the so-called "field control" in the entire team.

After the game went on for a while, Taylor had significantly more chips in front of him. At this time, Yu Gang took out a new deck of cards and scrambled some of them into the deck of cards.

This was the second problem Xiao Yao had encountered just now, Xiao Yao frowned, and his attention became more concentrated.

After adding some new cards, Xiao Yao found that Taylor's bet amount had become significantly smaller, but he did not give up directly. After some time, Sam gave Taylor another code, and Taylor's brow furrowed, and the amount of bets increased, returning to the level he had started with. Some time after the bet amount returned to a large amount, Taylor's chips increased again.

Xiao Yao has been watching from the sidelines, and he saw the position where Yu Gang inserted the new cards into the pile, so when all the new cards were used up, Xiao Yao could see it. When all the new cards are used up, the remaining cards are the original cards.

Relatively speaking, the fewer cards remaining, the more accurate the card counting estimation is, and the distraction disappears when all the new cards inserted in the middle are used. In Xiao Yao's view, the more you go to the back, the higher the player's chances of winning, but it doesn't mean that all the cards in his hand are dealt, and Taylor waved his hand.

"It's over?" Xiao Yao asked when he saw that Yu had just stopped dealing cards.

"Hmm!" Taylor nodded, "Sam told me it was time to stop." At this point, I'll get up and leave, and they'll play a few more games before leaving!

"Understood!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"How?" Taylor gestured to the stack of chips in front of him on the table.

"It really takes teamwork. Xiao Yao smiled.

The change in the number of chips in that pile was obvious, and it didn't take to count them to know that Taylor must have won.

"We're already looking for an assistant card counter and we should be able to find it soon. Taylor said, "In the past few days, we will first conduct some training for you, on the one hand, to train your ability as a big player, and on the other hand, Sam and Raj will temporarily be your auxiliary card counters, and you can practice teamwork together!"

"I just heard you say that big players can also be auxiliary card counters," Xiao Yao said, "So can I be an auxiliary card counter?"

"Of course!" Taylor laughed, "but our assignment is multi-skilled, and when you become very proficient in the big player part, we'll consider teaching you how to be an assistant card counter." ”

"Since you don't have an auxiliary card counter with me now, I want you to teach me how to be an auxiliary card counter first!" Xiao Yao said, "I think that when I know what my companions are doing and how to do it, it will be more conducive to me and the two auxiliary card counters to play together, and when I practice group cooperation later, it will be more efficient." ”

"This—" Taylor thought for a moment and nodded, "yes!"

"Then let's get started!" Xiao Yao said.

"Hey, work!" Sam interjected, "what time is it?"

Xiao Yao looked out the window of the classroom and found that it was not early. Before they knew it, they had been playing in this classroom for an afternoon.

"Dinner, or I'll please!" Xiao Yao said.

"No, no, no," Taylor shook his head repeatedly, "this time, we'll invite you!"

"It's okay," Xiao Yao thought for a moment and nodded, "But it's simple, after eating, let's come back and continue?"

"Oh my God!" Sam exclaimed, exaggeratedly, "Are you going to go on at night?"

"Jan, we've been counting for a day today, and everyone is tired. Yan Ke said, "You have also learned a lot of things today, go back in the evening and digest it well, and we will continue tomorrow!"

"I'm sorry!" Xiao Yao reacted this time and said embarrassedly, "Thank you, you have worked hard today!

"If you don't feel like you need an overnight meal digesting what you've learned today, we can take you to the bar to relax after dinner. Sam walked over and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "The bars in Cambridge are also very distinctive!"

"Special?" Xiao Yao took a step back and said with a wary expression, "It can't be the kind of bar where you have to do an advanced math problem before ordering a drink, right?"

"Huh, are you scared?" Sam laughed. "We really have that kind of bar in Cambridge. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Yao pouted, "I have money! I can do the same as at noon, I can order casually without looking at the price on the wine list, it's a big deal to pay more!"

"No, no," Sandra laughed, "that bar is not the same as the restaurant where you eat at noon." The math problem at the restaurant at noon is on the menu, and even if you don't know how to do the math, you can order whatever the price is. The math problem in that bar is at the door, and if you can't answer it, you won't even be able to get in, no matter how rich you are!"

"This," Xiao Yao pretended to be angry, "you are discriminating against!"

"Discrimination, what discrimination?" asked Sandra.

"IQ discrimination, no, it has nothing to do with IQ, this is academic discrimination, professional discrimination, and knowledge discrimination!" Xiao Yao said indignantly.

"Ha~" The people in the card counting group all laughed.

After the joke, everyone cleaned up and went out for dinner.

Dinner was also served at a regular restaurant outside the MIT, and after eating, the group went to the bar for a while. Neither a restaurant nor a bar is the kind of place where advanced math is required to be served, and Sandra and Sam are just kidding.

Even if it wasn't the kind of bar where you really had to answer advanced math questions to enter, Xiao Yao found that the atmosphere in this bar was different from other places. Occasionally, I heard the content of the conversation of the person in the next position, and it turned out to be a very advanced math problem. However, this is the city of Cambridge, which has world-renowned universities such as Harvard and MIT, and it is not far from MIT, and most of the people who come here are also MIT students or teachers, so it is normal to have this atmosphere.

Although Xiao Yao's memory and mental arithmetic ability are very strong, after all, he is studying art and acting, and he doesn't know much about advanced mathematics, so the people in the card counting group naturally won't pull Xiao Yao to talk about any theory or theorem.

For MIT students, star actors and singers are careers that are far away and interesting to them. For Xiao Yao, MIT, a school that is bigger than Mizuki is also very mysterious. Through a day of contact, everyone is more familiar, and the perception of each other is not bad, less estrangement and strangeness, and they understand each other's lives.

Since there was still study and training the next day, everyone didn't play too late at the bar. At about ten o'clock in the evening, everyone left.

The next morning, Yan Ke still drove to the hotel to pick up Xiao Yao to school. When they arrived at the activity room of the card counting group, after the personnel arrived, everyone began to explain to Xiao Yao the functions of the two auxiliary card counters, the knowledge and skills that need to be mastered, and how to cooperate and cooperate in the three positions.

Yesterday we only taught Xiao Yao how to be a big player, today is to teach the early detection and control of the two kinds of auxiliary card counters, it seems that the workload seems to be twice as much as yesterday, but because the requirements of the auxiliary card counter are lower than the big players, the content involved is less, so this teaching time is about the same as yesterday.

Since there is no need to test Xiao Yao's memory and mental arithmetic today, he didn't even spend a morning just teaching. After teaching Xiao Yao how to be two kinds of auxiliary card counters, he immediately conducted simulated combat training in the morning.

In the morning of the simulated actual combat training, others served as big players, and Xiao Yao served as two auxiliary card counters, which was regarded as an on-site test of Xiao Yao's learning results. In the afternoon, Xiao Yao served as the big player, and others served as two auxiliary card counters to conduct group cooperation and cooperation training.

The card counting team is not inactive at night, usually there are classes or other things during the day, and sometimes activities and training are organized at night. However, it is summer vacation and there are many daylight hours, so they don't train at night.

After dinner, the people of the card counting team invited Xiao Yao to go to the bar again, but Xiao Yao did not agree this time, and returned to the hotel on the grounds that he had learned a lot of things today and needed to go back and digest them well.

On the third day, it was still Yan Ke who brought Xiao Yao to the activity room of the card counting group.

The task of teaching has been completed, and what remains is proficiency in technology, so today's plan is still to conduct actual combat simulation training for Xiao Yao.

After the personnel arrived, Taylor took out the playing cards and chips and other tools, and said to Xiao Yao: "Young, you are still a big player today, and Sam and Raj will assist you!"

The card counting team positioned Xiao Yao as a big player. Yesterday has been two kinds of auxiliary card counter knowledge and functions have been taught to Xiao Yao, but also for a half-day of actual combat simulation training, everyone feels that Xiao Yao's auxiliary card counter training is enough, so today's plan is to let Xiao Yao as a big player, training his big player's skills and as a big player with others.

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "I don't want to assist, try to play alone again, just like the day before yesterday!"
