Trust the game
"The rules of the game are simple. Both players alternate between the roles of the coin toss, and after the coin is tossed, the player needs to confirm whether the upward side of the coin is a word or a flower, and then tell the opposing player. ”
"Then there's the point of the game. This information to the opposing player can be true or false. All the opposing player has to do is choose whether to believe the message or question it based on the reaction of the person in front of them. Regardless of which one is chosen, the player who tosses the coin is not allowed to move from the moment he gives his reply. After that, he announces whether the other party is right or not, and then the host is responsible for revealing the upward pattern of the coin to both parties. The winner is determined by whether the next player's reply hits the strategy adopted by the previous player, and if the hit is successful, the player who tosses the coin wins. One more point, if the player who tosses the coin says something wrong when announcing the result, the opposing player will win outright. ”
The rules are very simple, Shen Lingshuang finished introducing them in a few words, but when it comes to the issue of chips, she has a difficulty.
"The default gameplay of this game is betting, with players having one chance to bid or raise the price at the beginning of each hand and before the answer is revealed. It's just that according to my experience, this kind of guessing game is generally more cautious in the early stage, and there will be a lot of bidding should not be. Both players want to try to see each other clearly until they start to feel familiar after a while, and then they gradually start to let go of betting. She said, turning her head to look at the sun slowly rising in the east, "Plus this game has wins and losses, and there are comings and goings, and it can easily turn into a tug-of-war." With the number of chips you have, I'm more skeptical you'll be able to finish by sunset. If you miss the opportunity to participate in the White Night Festival, it will be more troublesome. ”
She said this with emotion on the surface, but in fact she was reminding Xiang Nanxing. Although it is true that there is an opportunity in front of him, if the other party's purpose is not to bring one more person as he said, but to prevent him from participating in the White Night Festival from the beginning, he doesn't need to win the game, just desperately delay the time.
Although this is somewhat suspicious of living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it has to be guarded against after all.
"Hmm."
Xiang Nanxing obviously heard this meaning, and suddenly showed a worried expression. He and Nangong Qian subconsciously looked at each other for 7 times, blinked, and their faces didn't look very good.
At this time, Xu Wen smiled.
"The host has a point, if you delay the business because this game drags on for too long, it will be a loss for you and me." "So I have a proposal for betting on this," he said. ”
Xiang Nanxing said: "Listen to me. ”
Xu Wen said: "Like the game we just selected, to put it bluntly, it is the type of constantly observing each other in the early stage and deciding the winner in the later stage. However, this process of observation is likely to be endlessly prolonged, and both sides may continue to delay the time of placing heavy bets because they feel uncertain, resulting in a long game progression. One of the games I once played used an interesting bet method that artificially limited this time limit. It's called 'exponential explosion'. ”
"It's a doubling down!" Shen Lingshuang said. As a host, she is naturally no stranger to this kind of thing.
"Yes." Xu Wen nodded, "This betting method is limited by rules, which deprives players of the space to make their own decisions. It stipulates that in the first game, both sides will have the next chip, the second game will be two, in the third game it will be four, and in the fourth game it will be eight, and each game will be twice as many as the previous game. ”
Xiang Nanxing's face changed. At first glance, this bet seems to be played very small, which does not fit the pattern of betting 10,000 chips in one go, but the index is a very magical thing, it looks small at first, but after a period of incubation, it will become a very scary number.
He mentally calculated, according to the rules Xu Wen said, when the game is about the tenth game, it will become more than five hundred chips a round, and in the fifteenth game, this number will become a staggering sixteen thousand.
Normally, the game ends after fifteen rounds. Even if the advantage accumulated before is too great, 16,000 chips is not enough to divide the winner in one game, and in the sixteenth game of 32,000 chips, it is certain that the losing side can be destroyed, because this number is more than the sum of the chips of both sides.
This is indeed as he said, artificially limiting the time of the decisive victory.
In other games, such as Xiang Nanxing's experience of games that require the use of cards and other props, this betting method may not be appropriate, because each game has good and bad cards on both sides, and it is unfair to the players who are not lucky at that time. But this "trust game" game is different, both sides stand on the same conditions from beginning to end, and the key to victory or defeat depends only on their ability to see through their opponents and their level of lying without being seen through by them.
In this way, Xu Wen's proposal is very suitable - it can even be said that it is a bit too suitable.
"It's like it's been arranged early in the morning." Nangong Qian said coldly.
She reached out and took the two dice in the dice cup, held them in her palm, and shook them. The dice are normal, without the slightly sideways feel of the lead dice, but this still does not rule out whether it has been done in other ways.
"When he threw the dice just now, Mr. Xu's shot was nearly a second slower than ours." She said, "I've heard my eldest brother say that some people with great skills and good eyesight can predict the number of points based on the rotation of the dice at the moment of their shot. The method of controlling the number of dice points is difficult and easy, according to the characteristics of the dice, some techniques are very difficult, but the world is so big, there are many people who are good at it. ”
"So you suspect that I did something while I was throwing the dice." Xu Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are too suspicious." ”
"Hmph, just shake a suitable number, select enough for you to erase the disadvantage caused by the number gap and even the host's tendencies, and then have the opportunity for you to come up with a plan that seems to be just suitable for this game, if you want to say it's just a coincidence, the probability in this is too ......"
Nangong Qian was just halfway through speaking, but she frowned when she saw Xiang Nanxing next to her.
"This time, Mr. Xu is right." Xiang Nanxing turned his head and said, "You are too suspicious." ”
"You!" Nangong Qian stared at him in disbelief for a while, and the latter also looked back without saying a word, with a cold expression and a faint sense of reproach.
Shen Lingshuang, who was watching from the side, also reacted slightly at this time. These topics of cheating and not cheating, and being suspicious and not suspicious, are actually just excuses. It seems that Xiang Nanxing is already determined to fight this one, but Nangong Qian is doing everything possible to stop him, and the biggest difference between the two is here.
Xiang Nanxing's begging, of course, is to win the other party, and then with the chips of the two in his hand, he can enter the White Night Festival with Nangong Qian. And Nangong Qian always wanted Xiang Nanxing to give up and keep the 10,000 chips, at least one of the two of them could make the trip. This may be because she thinks that Xiang Nanxing will not be able to win against Xu Wen in front of her.
Or perhaps, she planned to give up from the beginning and let Xiang Nanxing go to the White Night Festival, so she didn't want to make extraneous branches.
Shen Lingshuang sighed in his heart. Answer...... The latter, of course. They actually knew in their hearts that if it was a life-and-death fight, and the two of them opened up enough distance at the beginning, then Nangong Qian, who was good at sniping, would undoubtedly win, but in other ways, especially in dealing with these strange games on the island, Xiang Nanxing would undoubtedly be a notch higher than Nangong Qian. In other words, if the two go head-to-head to decide the qualification, Nangong Qian is the more uncertain side. And the Xu Wenzhi in front of him has not shown any ability that is significantly higher than Xiang Nanxing so far, not to mention that the two of them here can also join forces to fight and exert greater strength.
If she doesn't plan to give up, and still wants to enter the White Night Festival, the most advantageous thing to do at this time is to join forces with Xiang Nanxing to win this game, no matter what, it seems that it is more reliable than her winning Xiang Nanxing alone. However, she didn't want the game to be established, which shows that although she said it politely, she actually didn't want Xiang Nanxing to take this extra risk.
It's just that these two people are such personalities, Xiang Nanxing will be unusually dull at critical moments, and Nangong Qian has always been unforgiving. These two guys who obviously think about each other, but are far from mature enough in this regard, bump into each other, and they will inevitably fall into a quarrel in mutual misunderstanding.
And she, as the host representing the operating side, is not qualified to intervene from a standpoint. So Shen Lingshuang could only sigh in her heart while watching the words of the two escalate, and finally broke out into a fierce quarrel as she expected. Xu Wen on the side also stood aside with his hands on his chest and watched, with an interested look on his face, as if he was watching a good show.
"Okay, then I don't care!" Nangong Qian slammed her hand hard, carried the combination gun that she had been holding in her hand just now behind her back in one go, and turned around to leave, "You like to lose all your chips, and even spend the rest of your life on this island, I don't want to care about you." You're going to bet on you, I'm looking for my way, no matter what, I must leave this hellish place so that I won't be like you. ”
"Don't talk like I'm going to lose, bad luck!" Xiang Nanxing also roared back, "If you like to go, just leave, don't put on a look like you want me to keep you." ”
"Hmph, even if you keep me, it's useless!" Nangong Qian stomped her feet, and actually turned around and walked towards the depths of the forest. She was so angry that she only carried the combination gun that never left her body, and in her anger, she even forgot to take her suitcase. Shen Lingshuang was hesitating to catch up and remind him, but Xiang Nanxing had already taken a deep breath.
When he exhaled again, his face, flushed from the heat of the argument, had faded considerably. The emotions just now seemed to have been stuffed into a drawer and put into the depths of his brain, and Xiang Nanxing at this time, at least on the surface, returned to the calm and witty appearance of the last two days.
"I've been waiting, Mr. Xu." He smiled and said, "I agree with the method of betting, just as you said." Time is precious, so let's get started now. ”
He threw the two suitcases in the depths on the left and the right, the left hand side was his, and the right hand side was left by Nangong Qian, who had just left. Xu Wen smiled, and he threw his suitcase forward, falling between the two.
Never mind. Shen Lingshuang thought that the storage of the suitcase was also one of the compulsory courses for players, and Nangong Qian forgot to take the suitcase with her, and was picked up by Xiang Nanxing and used it - this did not violate the rules of the island.
"Well, now that players on both sides have confirmed, the game is about to begin." She said as she looked in the direction where Nangong Qian had left.
Helpless.
From the host's standpoint, she can only say this.
