"There are nine chips here. I'll take it first as the banker. Take a maximum of one to three chips at a time. If, the chips are taken by one of them. Then the last person who takes the chip is considered a victory. It's a two-player game, so I'll play against one of them first. Then another person fights against the other person. The order of precedence is at the discretion of the other two. How?"

Helen and Baker were a little unconvinced.

"Are you underestimating us? Do you think we're going to lose in such a simple game?"

"It's going to lose, and it's going to be bad. Zhou Feiyu said unceremoniously.

"Then let's get started. I don't think I'm going to lose. Saying that, Baker rolled up his sleeves and began the battle with Zhou Feiyu.

And as a result, of course, three rounds were carried out. It ends with a fiasco for two.

Helen and Baker looked at Zhou Feiyu unconvinced and said. "Why do you always get the last chip when I'm playing with you?"

"I think you're already smart. Basically understand this game. I've noticed that when you take coins, you try to only take odd numbers of chips. It's actually a very simple math principle. ”

"Math?"

"Let me explain. Odd and even. Added up is certainly an odd number. Odd numbers and cardinal numbers together are certainly even. ”

"So this game with only nine chips is definitely the first to win. ”

"Why do you have to win first?" Baker was a little puzzled.

"Ahh

"It turns out that this game has a way to win. As long as the first hand has only one chip, then the first player will definitely win. Because, after taking a chip in the first hand, the main thing is to see what number of chips the opponent chooses in the second round. If, the opponent chooses the same as you. Take only one chip. Then the remaining chips on the field. It's still going to be odd. And at this time, it is the turn of the first one. The first player only needs to take three coins. Next, only an even number remains, and the remaining four pieces. No matter how many pieces your opponent takes, you can be sure that you can take the remaining chips. ”

"If, the other party chooses to take three coins. Then the first player in the second round only needs to take one chip. Speaking of which, the most important thing is to protect. When there are still an odd number of chips, the first player takes the first. In any case, the one who gets the chips first wins. ”

"It's not stupid. Zhou Feiyu said.

Actually, this game is not that difficult. At best, it is the level of the Olympiad in primary school. Zhou Feiyu made this game, on the one hand, he wanted to see how Helen's IQ was, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what the average level of education in the world was. And now Zhou Feiyu, and now Zhou Feiyu has gotten the information that although people in this world know some mathematics, they don't know how to use it flexibly. And there should be very few people who study pure mathematics.

Zhou Feiyu took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"Looks like we're almost up to date. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the VIP room.

Then a maid pushed the door open.

"Lord Hill, Lord Helen. My master invites you to a feast. ”

"Got it. ”

Zhou Feiyu stood up as he spoke. Now comes the real highlight. Whether the content of this conversation will succeed will be decided. Zhou Feiyu: Can they solve this matter smoothly?

The two got out of the casino and got into the carriage. The carriage stopped at the door of an upscale hotel after a while. All hotels have private rooms. There was no loose table at all. It seems that this hotel is not low-grade. The maid led the two to the VIP room on the second floor.

The maid opened the door to the VIP room. Inside sat a tall man. And this person is the person who communicated with Zhou Feiyu before. It is also the manager of Area A of the Crescent Society in Tarot City.

After the man saw Zhou Feiyu and Helen coming in, he hurriedly got up. Please sit down. The maid withdrew, closing the door.

The table was already full of delicacies.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Eugene Allen, what do you call you?"

"Just call me Hill, this is Helen. ”

"Miss Hill and Miss Helen, please forgive me for the disappointment. ”

"It's a small thing. So it's not too late to play our theme for today. ”

"Of course, that's no problem. Let's talk while we eat. ”

The three of them sat down and began to eat. Although the meals are indeed exquisite. However, at this time, the three people at the table did not have the heart to taste the meal.

"I'll get straight to the point. Zhou Feiyu said.

"First of all, I want to ask you if you know about that incident five years ago?"

Zhou Feiyu didn't turn a corner, and directly hit a straight ball.

"Well, it's not very clear. But I've heard that it seems to involve something about Tarot Academy. ”

"It's good to know here. Let me ask one more question. Don't you need to confirm my identity with headquarters?"

"Hear here. Alan smiled. Miss Hill is not needed. Your story has spread throughout the Crescent Order. After all, the old immortal in your family. I went to the Crescent Moon to talk about it. ”

"I see. Then I won't talk about it for now. Let's talk about what happened five years ago. I would like to ask, does our Crescent Moon have a clear rule prohibiting human trafficking?"

"There is indeed this rule. ”

"But, you know, the tarot is so big. The territory of one of our regional directors here is four times larger than that of other cities. Therefore, even if it is a local blood club, the headquarters cannot fully control the situation of each subdivision. ”

"So, if you want to do some sneaky business here. It's hard to get caught. ”

"And I'm going to get this handle now. I am now entrusted by both parties. One side is a ghost, and the other is a formal request from the Tarot Academy. ”

“······”

"Do you mean that the Tarot Academy is also going to be involved this time?"

"No, the Tarot Academy doesn't care about your Crescent Society. As long as we don't touch on the bottom line of Tarot Academy. Then in the eyes of Tarot City, there is no difference between us and ordinary chambers of commerce. And it is forbidden to do all kinds of things that hurt nature and reason. It is also the foundation of the new society. ”

"That's true. ”

"But I suspect Scarlet Ju is still in the human trafficking business, and it's not just about Zone C. Rather, it is about the reputation of the entire Crescent Society. Imagine if, this matter is found out by Tarot City. So what will happen? This news will reach the ears of all the great powers on the entire continent. And joy will be the target of public criticism. ”

“······”

"So, I felt the need for me to do something. And that's why the Tarot headquarters sent me. It's because of my dual identity. I am a student at Tarot Orange Tarot Academy. He is also the director of the Crescent Society. I can easily move between the two sides. Get the intel that both sides want. ”

And if it happens, your benefits are indispensable. Now that there is a problem in Area C. Then Tarot City. A further Director of Region C will be dispatched. But before that, the melons left over from the previous director of Region C. I will do the most to you, so I will share the lion's share. ”

"I see. Can you let me carve up Zone C, and let me make a lot of money, is that what you offer?"

"It's not you, it's just me. ”

"Because recently I found out that Area C has reached into the Tarot Academy again. I don't know what they want to do. But in short, they stole a very bad thing. I guessed wrong. There's a good chance it's a defense-grade magic scroll. ”

"Defense-grade ······"

Helen looked at Zhou Feiyu. began to ponder what Zhou Feiyu wanted to express.

And Zhou Feiyu did not make Tian Tingxi launch a further offensive.

"What I need from you is not manpower, nor money, what I need from you is information. You may say that intelligence is money, but I must tell you one thing, if the very existence of the New Moon is shaken, then you will not have good fruit to eat. Whether it's Zone C, it's a rat poop that spoils a whole pot of soup. ”

"And I, now as a chef, have to deal with this rat. Before the pot is hot, the has not yet melted. to minimize the severity of the New Moon's impact. ”

Alan nodded. Said.

"Indeed, the conditions you give are tempting. But I'm afraid I can't help much. ”

"I see. It's not that you don't want to help. It's that you can't help, am I right?"

“······ As you said, the director of Zone C, even I haven't met. He was a very mysterious man. He usually only calls his deputies to come out and help him deliver orders. And he lives among the masses like ordinary people. Not in Zone C. So anyone could be a District C supervisor. I looked for him for a whole decade. From the time of ten years when we were all regional directors. I'm looking for him. But I never found him, and we were still suppressed by him in all three districts. ”

Zhou Feiyu frowned. Now it's a bit of a problem. Judging by the micro-expressions, Alan is not lying. The director of Area C is much more cunning than he thinks. If you can't get valid information from Zone A. Then quite possibly. It's going to be very difficult.

"I need a name. At least I need to know his name. Even if you haven't met him, you should know his name. ”

"Clark. I don't know if it's his first name. But I know. He at least called me by that name. For the rest of the information, he should be about 30 to 40 years old like me. I don't know anything else. ”

"Okay. Then I think you can now send people out to focus on that. But don't go too far, and it will be difficult to make the other person aware of our actions. I'll just assume that you'll agree, is my proposal okay?"

"No problem, Ms. Hill, it's my pleasure. ”
