The rules of the Beastmaster Battle for Supremacy in the casual mini-game of the Imperial Palace are as follows:

There are a total of eight chess pieces in the game, namely rats, rats, cats, wolves, tigers, rhinos, elephants, and elephants, which are randomly selected by eight players.

Once the game starts, the piece can be given away and exchanged between two people at will, or it can start a battle between two people.

In the game, once a battle declaration is issued, the opponent cannot refuse to fight, but just finished the engagement, you can get a stick of incense to rest.

In the event of a battle, both sides are free to choose one of their pieces, and the winner is determined according to the combat effectiveness of both pieces, and if the two pieces are the same, it is a tie without any gain or punishment.

The losing side will lose all of its pieces.

The winner of the battle will receive all the opponent's pieces.

Players who lose all their pieces can get the pieces they have given and resurrect them to participate in the battle again.

When the game time is over, the number of pieces in everyone's hands is counted, and the player with the most pieces wins, regardless of the combat effectiveness of the pieces.

……

I see!

"No wonder this game is called Beastmaster Battle." I said thoughtfully.

"What do you think, brother?" Wan Liang Copper asked me.

"In this game, one person's chess pieces can be given away at will, in other words, if the other seven people are willing to give the chess pieces to a certain person, then of course he wins, this person is expected by everyone, and he is indeed a well-deserved king." "In another case, this person can not only win, but also give his own chess pieces to his teammates, and finally his teammates will kill all sides and contribute the chess pieces they hunt to him - this is another kind of king." ”

"I see what you mean." Wan Liang Tong said, "In other words, this game is actually about whose teammates there are." ”

"That's right." I nodded, "However, when there is no overwhelming advantage in the number of teammates, guessing who has what piece in hand and choosing a suitable opponent is even more important." ”

"Luckily." Wan Liangtong said with a smile, "Not only do we have an advantage in numbers, but we also know someone's chess pieces in advance." ”

With that, his gaze shifted to Wan Wuhua.

Just now, Wan Wuhua personally said his chess piece - the tiger.

Swish!

As soon as the torch touched, Manager Li lit the huge pillar incense erected on the side of the main hall, and depending on the situation, this huge incense could burn for at least four or five hours.

"The incense burns out, and the test is over." Manager Li announced, "The test has officially begun, please challenge the old ladies to your heart's content—if you have any questions about the content of the test, you can ask Wang Gongzi." ”

After saying this, Manager Li suddenly disappeared, Wang Ziyun looked at him coldly, and only eight people were left looking at each other in the main hall.

"Let's give each other the bottom line first." I pulled Wan Liang Tong and Luo Ziyan aside and said in a low voice.

I showed them my pieces.

"It's a mouse, it's pitiful." Luo Ziyan sneered.

"Be quiet!" I used my body to cover Luo Ziyan's face to avoid others from seeing the shape of her mouth when she spoke, so as to judge what she said.

Luo Ziyan just pretended to be stupid, not really stupid, although her smile did not change, her voice was actually very low, and others should not be able to hear it.

"Wow, rats." Wan Liang Tong's face was happy, "In this way, we have the capital to deal with the strongest chess piece 'elephant'." ”

As he spoke, he revealed his chess pieces.

It's actually a 'wolf'.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Ziyan also showed her 'cat'.

Rats, cats, wolves, the weakest trio?

"Oops, that's a problem." Wan Liang Tong sighed, "Except for rats and elephants, if anyone comes to the door, we will lose completely." ”

"Don't be timid." I puffed up my chest, "You have to pretend that your chess pieces are very strong, and make them suspicious, so that they don't dare to attack." ”

Luo Ziyan also puffed up my chest.

"It's good, success has captured their attention." I nodded approvingly, "I'll take this opportunity to talk to someone and see if I can get some news." ”

The currently known chess pieces are my mouse, Luo Ziyan's cat, the wolf of ten thousand taels of copper, and the tiger of ten thousand flowers.

In other words, the remaining one rat, one rhino and two elephants are in the hands of four people, Wan Wuyi, Wan Wuji, Zhang Dong and Lai Dongying.

In this case, if I choose one of these four people to attack, the odds of winning will be as high as 50%!

There is a two-in-a-half chance of a tie and a two-in-a-half chance of losing.

This is another advantage of having more teammates - knowing more of the content of the pieces, the easier it is to calculate the hole cards of others.

Because the situation was so good for me, I decided to target the conversation with one of the four people.

Which one to choose?

According to various information, the two brothers (half-brothers) have already formed an alliance, and it is difficult to find a loophole between them.

Zhang Dong, vice president of Wanzihao, although the old man is a representative of the non-Wanjia forces, Wan Liangtong told me that this prince is actually loyal to the Wanjia, and the so-called 'non-Wanjia forces' is just a pawn used by the Wanjia to appease those small businesses.

Like many Wanzihao old-timers, Zhang Dong chose to support Wan Wuhua, and he probably couldn't talk about anything.

Thinking about it, I am afraid that there is only Lai Dongying who can have a good chat.

Although this Mr. Lai's dart head looks mediocre, he is actually a top master who has opened a hundred veins, and he is good at using a single knife, called 'June Flying Frost'.

He ranks 875th in the list of legendary figures, and in terms of status in the rivers and lakes, he is dozens of floors higher than Zhang Dong and Old Man Zhang.

Who will such a strongman choose to help?

At least on the surface, he hasn't picked anyone to support.

Of course, it is difficult to say what the actual situation is.

"Mr. Lai's dart." I hid and walked over.

"It turned out to be Captain Flying Eagle." Lai Dongying also greeted me politely, "I've always wanted to visit the house, but unfortunately I haven't found a suitable time yet." ”

Why was he so polite to me?

It's very simple, because I'm a big customer of the Flying Eagle Firm, and I'm the big customer of his Hongyuan Dart Bureau!

The Flying Eagle Commercial Bank's trading of more than 50 million taels of silver this year, at least more than 30 million taels, was handed over to Lai Dongying's 75 dart bureaus to escort him, and Lai Dongying's own Hongyuan dart bureau was even more fat.

No matter how high his status in the rivers and lakes is Lai Dongying, can he still speak coldly to me, a big merchant and a big financier?

Of course, if it weren't for the seventy-five dart bureau associations, in this era of all kinds of bandits and water thieves, my goods would also be difficult to move an inch.

Therefore, between the owner and the dart board, a close relationship of mutual prosperity and win-win has been formed.

There's something to talk about!
