Chapters 7-15

There are many levels of new human genes, starting from the zero-level atavistic phenomenon to the eighteenth-level gene, which is considered the limit of human beings. Human genetic traits are divided into five categories: strategy, combat, technology, cunning, and charisma, each of which has a different percentage of genes. The so-called strategic index is a person's genetic level multiplied by the percentage of his strategic characteristics in the whole gene. For example, if the gene is 10 and the strategic gene accounts for 50 percent, then the strategic index is 5. Relative to the strategic index, there are also the combat index, the technical index, the operation index and the charm index. Each index is a relative reflection of a person's strengths.

Generally speaking, the genetic level and genetic characteristics of human beings are born and cannot be changed, but this is not inevitable, and some special groups of people can change their genetic levels and characteristics at will under certain conditions.

A year later, when Suldan's room was called to his room again, he had forgotten what Suldan's had agreed with him, because he had fully integrated into his current life.

"Your first lesson is over, and now on, I have a new study plan for you."

Surdan said, throwing a thin piece of paper in front of Mercheng.

Mo Cheng picked up the paper at a loss, only to see that there were two parts on the paper, the outline on it was "Hidden, the overall situation, reaction and anti-pressure, indulgence of others, memory, calculation"; The following compendium reads "Broad".

"A year ago you were smart, but more of an efficient machine, and now you're finally a bit of a human name, which is good. However, at this point, do not go any more, for any more will be overkill, and it will become a woman's benevolence. From now on, you will move on to the second stage of your studies. I have divided this stage of learning into seven parts: Hidden, The Big Picture, Reflexes and Resilience, Indulgence, Memorization, Computation, and Broadness. The first six are taught by me and Tykene himself, and as for the broad, you will teach yourself. From now on, you're completely out of the farm, and you're spending 15 percent of your day resting, the remaining 50 percent learning with me, 20 percent learning from Tyken, and the last 15 percent for self-study. ”

Mer Cheng nodded, not saying anything, because he knew that it was useless for him to say anything, and Suldans was just informing him, not asking for his opinion.

In modern society, because the knowledge base is extremely large, it is impossible for anyone to understand everything in their entire life. And under the brutal competition of Darwinism, anyone who wants to find his place in society must try his best to have an irreplaceable role in a certain position.

Therefore, the pursuit of the profession of human beings has reached the extreme, just like the same programmer, will be divided into more than 300 kinds of programmers, each of whom develops in their own narrow field, and once they leave their position, they will become at a loss.

Even those at the top of society are exposed to equally narrow areas.

The vast majority of the top fleet commanders in the universe are no different from ordinary civilians in terms of technical and financial talent.

This is so because these people who are at the top of society are also facing competition from people who are just as powerful as them. If they don't excel in their field of expertise, they can be killed at any time.

It's like strategic indices, which are applicable to both military and business, but almost no one learns both. The reason is simple, whether you can survive in modern society is not determined by how many talents you have, but by what your strongest talents are.

Two eighty-five points, no more than one ninety-point.

However, under Surdan's arrangement, Meerdane did the opposite, dabbling in all kinds of knowledge, and Surdan also provided the best environment for her to dabble in this kind of dabbling.

Mer didn't know where she got the information, but Suldan, if he wanted to learn something, Surdan always had a way to get it for him.

He was in contact with all kinds of knowledge, from technique, communication, etiquette, combat, to business.

When she reached a certain level of study, Mo Cheng became more and more aware of the reason why Suldan wanted her to go against the mainstream of society and choose this method of learning - the division of labor from specialization to narrowness in modern society will certainly bring efficiency, but it will also bring a very important shortcoming, that is, the loss of inspiration. One of the best examples of this is that in modern society, all talents can be created through genetic modification, but artists cannot.

Suldans believed that any talent, when it reaches a certain level, becomes an art. This is true whether it is military or commercial, or whatever. And it is inspiration that supports the birth of artists.

Suldan, on the other hand, believes that inspiration comes from the perception of all things in life, not the perception of one thing.

It's like a color can't make a colorful picture, it's really a very simple truth.

It is precisely because of the understanding of this spirit that Mercheng has always maintained a very high enthusiasm and joy in his studies.

If anyone outside of Utopia Farm sees it, they will think that it is a sign of a complete lack of learning, because in their opinion, any knowledge, once it is too hard to learn, will inevitably feel the pain of the difficulty and incomprehension of the knowledge.

In fact, Mo Cheng's high enthusiasm and joy came from the heart, and he did not particularly force himself to know a certain knowledge, but accepted the knowledge he wanted according to his own pleasure and joy.

And when he encounters a problem that is too complicated or he doesn't like it, he doesn't dwell on it, but he understands the rationale and then stops care. This is taboo in the learning theory of modern society, but Mocheng is at ease, and Surdans is resigned to it.

Compared with the free and extensive learning, the other five knowledge taught by two teachers is a bit hard.

First of all, in terms of the big picture, the method chosen by Surdan to exercise the overall situation of Mocheng is very simple, that is, to let him play Go.

Suldan divided his Go lessons in Meer into two halves, half playing against her and half playing against the rest of the farm.

In the beginning, it was with twelve people at the same time, then twenty-four, then forty-eight.

After three years of studying and cultivating, Mo Cheng's winning rate against Surdan in Go has increased to seventy percent, and he can already play against ninety-six people at the same time, and win all of them, including Hidden Dragon.

Although he couldn't win his students with ninety-five people, it made Hidden Dragon feel a little embarrassed, but he was more relieved, because Mo Cheng was surpassing his expectations little by little.

As for memory, the method used by Sultan is dirty, that is, memorize pi, memorize it all the time, memorize it all the time, after a hundred to a thousand, then to ten thousand, and then to increase the size all the time.

After three years of memorization, the eighteen-year-old Mo Cheng can recite pi to more than a million people.

He can talk to others while reciting them in his heart.

It's a great skill, but it's also a last resort. Sitting there and doing nothing, with a dull face, doesn't it look like a neurotic? This kind of contentless course, Suldan is naturally lost to the hidden dragon.

As a result, the people of the farm would often see that the hidden dragon seemed to be insane, and would suddenly run to Mo Cheng to make all kinds of fame, distracting him. As time passed, his interference with Mo Cheng became more and more ineffective, and by the end, Mo Cheng had completely ignored him, so much so that he formed the sequelae of instinctive ignorance every time he saw him.

In terms of computing power, in fact, when playing Go, I have already exercised it, but in order to strengthen this ability, it is also to satisfy Suldan's hobby. She added a special exercise program, which is one of the most beloved entertainment activities of the Chinese among ancient humans - playing mahjong.

It's one of the most exhausting of all workouts, but Mo Cheng loves mahjong so much that he can keep going.

As a result, only more than sixteen cards are played, and Mocheng can basically figure out what cards each person is holding.

This kind of computing power cannot be accurately expressed in words.

To what extent this ability is, you can only truly feel it when someone meets Mo Cheng on the battlefield in the future.

In this class, Surdan and Yinlong are going to be on the horse, and by the way, a little red who is said to have Sichuan ancestry, so that they just make up a table.

What everyone didn't expect was that it was at the poker table that Mo Cheng was subtly transformed into a bit of a gangster.

The reason is that Surdan, this old man who is always expressionless and seems to be always unfazed, as soon as he is on the table, he will immediately look extremely impulsive, and he will swear at every turn.

Because she is the person with the highest seniority, since she is so sea-style, it is naturally difficult to bring others to be clean.

It was under the influence of this environment that Mo Cheng unconsciously learned a lot of swearing.

"I'm ...... Pigs...... You're a plant, right? ……”

As time went on, there were more and more mantras like this, and the whole person began to become more and more philistine, so much so that at some point they even looked a bit like hooligans.

By the time Suldan realized that something was wrong, Mo Cheng was almost finalized, and he took the lead first, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only let it go.

The so-called hidden aspect is divided into two parts, one is technical, to put it bluntly, it is hacking technology, and the other is in reality, which is actually the talent of disguise and performance.

Unlike all modern programmers and hackers, Merce learns computers for one purpose: how to hide themselves subtly, which is akin to stealth on the Internet.

The purpose is simple, this is the first place where Mercheng is superior to others in learning computer technology.

With this advantage, Mer City can get straight to the point and not waste any time when learning things.

And the second advantage of Meer City is that I don't know where to find a memory card in Surdan.

Suldan told him that if anyone could learn these things completely, he would basically be able to make this memory card. But you must know that the encryption of this memory card can be at the highest level, and the people who can make this level of memory card are no more than ten people in the whole universe.

By using the virtual reality learner method, Mer Cheng was able to store all the knowledge in these memory cards in his brain in a short period of time.

With such a foundation, whenever Mo Cheng encounters any trouble in the process of studying, as long as he concentrates on thinking, then the knowledge hidden in his mind will be caught by him one by one like a fish in the deep sea.

The benefits to his learning were extraordinary.

With the above advantages, coupled with hard thinking and studying, it only took a year for Mo Cheng to fully understand all the knowledge on this memory card.

That is to say, regardless of anything else, just how to hide himself in the current technological environment, Mo Cheng already has a master-level attainment.

As for the hidden self in reality, Suldan, along with resilience and stress, and the ability to indulge others, all in one learning method, one of the oldest things in human history - that is, gambling.

Although it sounds incredible, in fact, in the next two years, in the subjects assigned by Surdan, the city of Mer spent the most time on gambling.

When it comes to gambling, there is a small trouble, and the reason is simple, real gambling masters will definitely not bet small money. And Mocheng has no capital at all.

There is another very important reason, that is, the entire universe gaming industry is unified under the management of the Xinghai Gaming Industry Union, which is a directly subordinate unit under the control of the Pan-Star Conference.

All those who want to open casinos, as well as those who participate in gambling, must file with the Pan-Star Congress, otherwise it will be considered a violation of the sacred power of the Pan-Star Congress.

Although Hidden Dragon had already helped Mo Cheng get a household registration, there was no doubt that it was impossible for him to disclose his identity now.

With these two restraints, it is a bit tricky for Merce City to participate in gambling.

As a test, Suldans asked Merce to find a suitable account on his own.

So every day Mercheng wandered around the online casino, and after much deliberation, he locked down a person with the screen name "light a cigarette for a fire". After being in contact with him for a while, Mer City knew that he was a very unsatisfactory ex-pirate.

According to the rules of all pan-star conventions, each person can only have one gambling account in the universe, and no matter what the money in the account comes from, it is considered the sacrosanct property of the owner of the account.

Anyone who uses non-gambling means or fraudulent means to steal the wealth on the account will be wanted by the Pan-Star Congress.

When Mo Cheng told the man who "lit a fire" that he would gamble for him, he only had a pitiful hundred stars on his account.

So when "light a cigarette for a fire" questioned that Mo Cheng was cheating him out of his money, Mo Cheng blocked him back with a word, "Can I risk being wanted by the Pan-Star Conference for a hundred star coins?" ”

"Light a cigarette on the fire" thought about it, so he handed over the account to Mo Cheng to use, but he asked Mo Cheng to set the account to allow one person to watch.

Mer City complied, and both Surdan and Hidden Dragon monitored the entire process, but nothing was wrong.

After that, the two came to an online casino called "Star Online Gaming Exchange", which is often used to "light a fire".

This is an online casino without a star rating, its minimum entry threshold is just 100 star coins, the upper limit of a single bet is 20,000 star coins, and any gambling account with a cumulative gambling profit of more than 10 million yuan will automatically become a rejected customer. The reason for this setting is that people in low-level casinos will not be turned into ATMs by those gambling masters.

And Mercheng proved with facts how meaningful this setting is.

It only took half a year for Mo Cheng to earn 16 million from these poor fat sheep with a hundred yuan. This is still the speed at which Mo Cheng often deliberately loses money in order to reduce the attention of others.

If it weren't for the cover-up, Merce could have won the same amount of money much faster than that.

Even so, Mer City can continue to stay here.

The reason is that before Merce City took over this account, the gambling account of the guy called "Lighting a Fire" had lost more than 60 million.

According to the rules of the Pan-Star Conference, all the money in the gambling account belongs to "lighting a fire".

Therefore, this guy was ecstatic, and of course suggested that Mo Cheng continue to slaughter these fat sheep at this time.

And Mo Cheng naturally rejected his suggestion, the money is not his, it makes no sense for him to make money, why does he want so much money? The important thing is to exercise your own ability, what is there to exercise in slaughtering these fat sheep?

So, Merce City left the "Star Online Gaming Exchange" to find the next place.

According to the regulations of the Xinghai Gaming Association, the senior account cannot go to the low-level casino to gamble money, but the low-level account can go to the high-level casino to gamble as long as it has money. Therefore, Merce City skimmed three stars and went straight to a four-star casino with a minimum entry capital of 10 million.

Although he has a lot of confidence in Mocheng, after all, he is a little person who has been fighting in a one-star casino all his life, and he can't imagine what kind of people a four-star casino is to "light a fire".

Therefore, "lighting a fire" still cautiously only left Mo Cheng with just enough to enter the door of the 10 million, and the remaining millions were all taken by him.

And a year later, "light a cigarette on a fire" regretted and almost vomited blood.

Because, in less than two years, the account of "lighting a fire" has been upgraded from an ordinary member to a five-star member. According to the classification of the Xinghai Gaming Industry Union, after the cumulative profit of the casino exceeds one billion, the account will be automatically upgraded to five-star.

"If the more than 6 million hadn't been taken, it wouldn't be a billion, but 1.6 billion, pigs, I'm really a purebred pig."

Since then, this phrase has become a mantra of "light a fire and smoke it".

And at this time, "light a cigarette on a fire" also made his identity clear to Mo Cheng.

His name is Benz, he is over 360 years old this year, and he used to be a high-ranking warrior of a pirate group, but later he was eliminated from the pirate group because of a virus in the aliens, which caused his genetic level and combat index to plummet.

The name of the virus is so long that it is said to have more than forty words, and Benz can't even remember it. All he knew was that the virus was classified as a Class A virus.

According to the market price, it will take about two years to completely cure this virus, and the cost will be about 20 to 3 billion.

"Light a cigarette for a fire" had less than 100 million star coins in deposit at the time, and he had no other skills other than fighting. After his combat index and genetic level dropped, he became useless and had to live on his savings.

Therefore, "light a fire" gave up on himself and wandered around the universe for almost thirty years until he met Silent City on the Internet.

When he learned about the past of "lighting a fire", Mo Cheng didn't say anything superfluous, he just comforted: "Everything will be fine." ”

December 19, 1556 in the Alpha calendar, the planet "Utopia Farm".

"You want to make enough money for his medical bills for 'lighting a cigarette'?"

On this day, when Mo Cheng was about to gamble online again, he found that the hidden dragon suddenly appeared behind him.

In the past year, both Suldan and Hidden Dragon have actually stopped caring about him, and he is basically completely self-taught. Therefore, when the hidden dragon suddenly appeared, he looked a little surprised.

"yes, teacher, what's wrong?"

"You only get one chance."

Hidden Dragon looked at Mo Cheng and said.

"Why?"

Relative to Merce's previous record, that doesn't sound like much. Therefore, Mo Cheng was a little puzzled by the sudden statement of the Hidden Dragon.

"More and more people are paying attention to this account, and if it weren't for your hidden skills, someone would have discovered their identity long ago. Although this situation is also good for exercising your reflexes and resistance to stress, it is not a good thing in the long run. For the sake of insurance, and also so that you can face pressure and overcome difficulties, my teacher and I decided that you must earn two billion at a time. It's a great opportunity, a great opportunity to take the exam. ”

"Perfect exam opportunity?"

"That's right, although you can't see each other at all in the online casino, but you can now perceive the other party's heart according to the simulated image of the other party in the virtual world, and you can also detect the other party's intentions by deliberately provoking the other party to speak. If you pass this exam, I won't have anything to teach you. ”

Mo Cheng heard that something was wrong from Hidden Dragon's words, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hidden Dragon reaching out his hand, "You must win this time, because you want to raise three billion treatment costs." Carrying such a burden, you choose to play against the top gamblers in the most exclusive casinos. The reason why you do this is to push you into the most disadvantaged and difficult situation. Because only in this way will you be able to reach your full potential. Therefore...... In a way, the misfortune of 'lighting a fire' will become a tool for your self-training......"

"I'll win."

Mo Cheng closed his mouth and was silent for a while, before finally raising his head again and speaking to his teacher.

Leyan Casino, an online casino named after Leyan, a well-known wealthy man in the universe. Because of his rich body and always smiling relationships, Leyan has the nickname of "Fat Pig".

As one of the top super chaebols in the universe, Le Yan doesn't care about the income of casinos at all.

The reason why he opened this online casino is nothing more than to accumulate contacts.

Modern networks have long been virtualized, and there is little difference between the virtual world and reality.

Of course, there are certain risks associated with this, because in order to feel the reality of this situation, you have to connect your brain waves directly to the cosmic network through the light brain.

This way, someone else can invade your brain through the Internet.

There are many cases in the universe where someone is surfing the Internet and is suddenly attacked by a hacker who destroys his brain through the Internet, resulting in death.

Therefore, it is good for the light brain to go online automatically, but anyone who is a little defensive or has a bit of identity will not do it.

Most people use the light brain to go online semi-automatically, and the brain can command the light brain to send signals, but the received signals pass through the light brain and do not directly lead to the brain.

And more cautious, such as Mocheng, is to choose the optical brain to go online manually, whether it is to send or receive signals, use the optical brain. Of course, this is much worse in terms of efficiency and feeling than the automatic Internet access of the light brain, but fortunately, it is safe enough.

When Mo Cheng entered the Le Yan Casino, he randomly chose the appearance provided by the system. In the eyes of others, it was just a person with an ordinary face, wearing clothes with a Chinese surname, and he couldn't tell the difference between the other surnames and walked into the casino.

After entering the casino, Merce City walked around the No. 1 gambling area of the Leyan Casino, trying to find a table with some challenges to sit down.

As a result, after visiting hundreds of platforms, Mo Cheng only felt unhappy, because he never felt that there was anyone on the stage who made him feel worthy of a fight.

"It turns out that the legendary six-star casino is nothing more than that?" Mo Cheng shook his head in reality and said softly, "Or is it only District 1 like this?" Why don't you go to other districts? ”

What he didn't expect during Mo Cheng's hesitation was that he had been closely watched since he stepped through this door.

After receiving the news reported by the casino management, Le Yan immediately opened a VIP room and invited someone who was already online to come in.

Although it is only a platinum VIP room, it is still gorgeously decorated.

These VIP boxes are all made by the famous art master Kwabel Cross Knife, and the design fee for each private room is more than 70 million star coins. There are a total of 6,000 private rooms in the Leyan Casino, which shows how strong Leyan's financial resources are.

"What's the matter?"

A gambler who chose the same appearance as Mo Cheng and couldn't see a different surname suddenly appeared in the private room.

"Xingchen, I found you an opponent, are you interested?" Le Yan said to the mysterious gambler.

Five hundred years ago, Emperor Lucifer, the Lord of the Universe at the time, occasionally visited the Royal Casino in his spare time.

Emperor Lucifer opened nine rounds and gambled with nine people at the same time.

Within sixteen hours, Emperor Lucifer had won all the net worth of more than 400 super gamblers until no one dared to play.

Only Xing Chen, who was only twenty-eight years old at the time, dared to challenge.

The two of them played the simplest way to play in the gambling game, and at the same time competed in the strength of the Nine Palaces Red and Black Formation.

The game of red and black is very simple, that is, the dealer pre-places nine chess-sized alloy blocks in nine bowls, painted red on one side and black on the other.

After the two sides agree on the bet, the dealer will uncover the bowl one by one, before each bowl is revealed, the player can bet, bet on whether each bowl is red or black, and the player loses the next bowl; If the player wins, the banker can adjust the color of the next bowl. At the same time, the player can also ask for several bowls in a row, but only if all of them are guessed correctly, they will win. After opening the nine bowls, compare the chips of the two sides, the player loses the agreed bet, and wins to win double the bet, which is the so-called red and black array of the nine palaces.

Because it is a pre-arranged relationship, unlike betting on the size of the dice, the red and black formation is predictable, provided that you can read the opponent's mind.

At that time, there was only one dollar star coin in the eight bowls in front of Xingchen, and there was no doubt that all of these eight yuan were lost. When it came to the last bowl of the red and black formation, Xingchen did not hesitate to cast all the bets on his body about billions of star coins and won two billions.

Xingchen became famous in the universe because of this battle, so he was called "the unruly person who sees through people's hearts".

"Who is it?" What Xingchen emitted was a standard machine sound, apparently manually typed and then read out by a light brain instead, "Is it Griffy?" ”

"Nobody."

Xingchen was silent for a while and said, "Yes." ”

Le Yan smiled, "You didn't even listen to his introduction, so you agreed?" ”

"When you introduced Carlsted to me, you said he was unknown."

Karlsted, Griffy, and Xingchen are the three major gamblers in the universe, and they like to borrow other people's gambling accounts to get around, so they are called "wandering trump cards".

"Haha, I accidentally bumped into it that time. As for the current one, although it is not Karlsted, I think it should be worthy of fighting you. Le Yan continued to smile and said, "This person debuted two years ago, and he also borrowed someone else's account. In the past two years, he has participated in more than 1,500 gambling games and has been promoted from a one-star account to a five-star account. ”

"It's not a great feat." Xingchen said, "There are at least a billion people in the universe who can do it. ”

"Of course, but every once in a while, the man changes his gambling style. According to the data we have gathered, he has changed his gambling style more than 30 times in the past two years. So much so that until now, we have completely elusive about his gambling style and surname. ”

"Oh?" Xing Chen's face tilted up slightly, and he made such a note in a standard machine tone, with a faint surprise in his weirdness.

Le Yan continued: "We have tried to let hackers attack him at the most critical moment of his gamble, but we have never succeeded. He'll either be able to finish the game or he'll go offline before he's breached, regardless of how many chips he's placed before. ”

"A guy who just wants to gamble, but doesn't care about winning or losing?"

Xingchen finally nodded, "Okay, I'll bet with him." But...... I want to know, what is the stake? ”

"This person only has about a billion stars on his account......"

"Don't play dumb, I'm talking about a bet between you and me." Before Le Yan finished speaking, he heard Xingchen interrupt, "'Fat Pig' doesn't look like a person who gives someone a free lunch. ”

"Between us?" The fat man in the virtual space, who was constructed based on Le Yan's real appearance, showed a signature honest smile, "Xingchen, I think you should know that I ...... you"

"I think I told you fifty years ago that I would never be anyone's subordinate." Xing Chen interrupted Le Yan again.

"You misunderstood, I didn't ask you to be my subordinate. If you lose, I just need you to owe me a favor. When one day, when I need it, I want you to give me back this favor. Speaking of this, Le Yan didn't wait for Xingchen to interrupt, and continued, "And if you win, Le Yan Gambling House is yours." I know you've always wanted to have your own casino, but a five-star casino license doesn't seem so easy to get. ”

Xing Chen raised his head and looked at the fat man in front of him with a lovely smile, the originally godless eyes on his ordinary face suddenly burst into fine light, ordinary people must be shaken when they see it, but Le Yan is still a simple smile.

"You seem to have a lot of faith in him."

"Maybe, it's just that I expect too much from you." When Le Yan said this, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

"This man...... Is it to make up for the medical expenses of this down-and-out pirate, so he came to gamble? ”

After skimming through all the information that Le Yan handed over, when he saw Benz's information part, Xingchen asked this question.

"Maybe, who knows? You should know better than I do. Le Yan said with a smile.

Xingchen didn't say anything more, "Let's get down." ”

Three minutes later, Mo Cheng, who still hadn't found a platform that he felt he could sit down, suddenly appeared next to him with a grinning man, "Sir, don't you think it's not eye-catching?" ”

Mo Cheng looked this person up and down, and when he was about to ask a question, the smiling man preemptively said, "My name is Le Yan, and I opened this small gambling house." ”

Although Mo Cheng studied hard all night, he didn't know much about mundane things, so he didn't know the name of "Fat Pig" Leyan, so he didn't look too surprised, just nodded and said, "Oh, do you have something?" ”

From the standard face and standard machine sound, Le Yan couldn't get more information, but he judged from Mo Cheng's answer without hesitation at all, Mo Cheng was either a teenager who was not deeply involved in the world, or he was a high-ranking family who didn't pay attention to his identity at all.

"We have a total of 100 halls, each with 1,600 tables, and even the Platinum Suites for VIP players have 6,000. However, in our casino, there is only one Storm Corner. Fengyun Pavilion is only open once every three years, and today is exactly three years since the last Fengyun Pavilion last Fengyun Pavilion. ”

In reality, Mo Cheng touched his chin, and then said, "Is it difficult, do you want to invite me into Fengyun Pavilion?" ”

"If Fengyun Pavilion doesn't open again, the three-year Fengyun duel will be broken. As the owner of Le Yan Casino, I don't want people to think that our Le Yan Casino is so unpopular. ”

Mo Cheng was silent for a while and asked, "Who is my opponent?" ”

"One of the three major gamblers in the universe, Xing Chen." Le Yan said.

Anyway, he has been gambling for almost two years, and Mo Cheng is no stranger to the name Xingchen, which is a legendary existence.

Therefore, even with Mo Cheng's surname, when he heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Although I came here with the preparation of fighting with the master, this master is a little too big, right?

"What's the matter, sir, are you afraid of losing?" Le Yan smiled and asked, "I believe you will win." ”

"Why do you believe I'm going to win?" At this time, Mo Cheng really didn't understand.

Le Yan blinked and said with a smile: "It's very simple, I'm a gambler like you, and it's likely that I like gambling more than you." ”

While Le Yan and Mo Cheng were talking, Xing Chen had been standing upstairs, quietly watching the two people who were talking.

Standing beside him was his only student support, who had followed Xingchen since he was born for forty-five years.

Legend has it that Xingchen taught all the gains in his life to Tuo Lao, but strangely enough, in the past forty-five years, Tuo Tuo has never participated in any gambling games, whether in public or private.

And he appeared in the virtual world, using the face of a clown in poker, and his bright smile was full of mystery that people couldn't see through.

"This man...... What do you think? Xingchen tilted his head and asked his student.

"I've been following him for a month and I've watched all the games he bets on. It's not difficult to win, it's not difficult to lose, but it's very difficult to win when you want to win, and lose when you want to lose, so that it is very difficult to completely control the entire gambling game, even if you are facing a gambler who is much worse than him. He turned his face to look at Mo Cheng who was standing in the distance, and continued, "However, he is not without weaknesses. ”

"Oh? What do you think is his weakness? Xingchen asked with interest.

"He has no passion, no fanaticism, he has to be so persistent." "If he is more than four hundred years old, then he is just a clever philistine. But if he's not yet a hundred years old......"

At this point, he was interrupted by Xing Chen, "My intuition tells me that he is likely to be younger than you. ”

"It can't be." Sho shook his head almost immediately.

Xingchen shook his head and said, "When you started to pay attention to this person, I was also paying attention to him. Like you, it was just a routine browsing, but soon became addicted to his game. In addition to his extreme calmness, intelligence, and ability to indulge others, I also saw in his gambling a kind of vitality, which is infinitely vigorous and full of expansion that belongs only to young people. ”

"If he's really younger than me......" Tuo Jiao said this, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at Mo Cheng's location again.

At this time, Xing Chen took over his words again, "Although the universe is big, for the truly powerhoused, it is even smaller than the earth five thousand years ago. If my guess is true, sooner or later you will meet, and he will be either one of your closest comrades-in-arms or one of your best enemies...... You now understand why I agreed to Fat Pig's gamble, right? ”

The smile on the clown's face slowly dimmed, revealing an indescribable solemnity and solemnity.

"Let's go into the pavilion, and you'll sit next to me later." Be sure to keep the whole process in mind, it will be beneficial for your growth. ”

Tuo didn't say anything, just nodded, and followed Xingchen into the Fengyun Pavilion that had been opened.

After a while, the door opened again, and Mo Cheng, accompanied by Le Yan, walked in.

"Need I tell you about it?" Le Yan stood in the middle of the room and asked with a smile.

Xing Chen shook his head and said, "It's better for gamblers to know each other at the table, do you agree?" ”

Mo Cheng looked at Xingchen and Tuo Jiao, and nodded, "Agreed." ”

Saying that, the two of them sat down separately and sat firmly behind Xingchen's side, and Le Yan sat behind Mocheng's side.

"Gambling has taken many different forms throughout the ages. However, everything has changed, and what has changed is only the surface of flashiness. I don't want to play these boring tricks today, let's just play the most primitive red and black formation, how about a nine-bowl game to decide the winner? ”

"Nine Palaces Red and Black Formation?" Mo Cheng remembered that when Xing Chen became famous in the universe, he gambled on the Red and Black Formation of the Nine Palaces.

That classic game, Mocheng has played it many times and can't put it down. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to play against the person concerned today, which really makes people sigh at the creation of the sky, "Mr. Xingchen seems to be very nostalgic. ”

It is said to be the easiest, but in fact, the red and black formation is precisely the most difficult of all gambling in modern society. And the reason for this is precisely because it is so simple, so simple that there is no complex data and information for you to calculate and analyze.

You can only win by relying on your intuition for the atmosphere, your talent for gambling and your luck. It can be said that for a calculating gambler like Mo Cheng, this is his weakest point.

"Maybe." Xingchen smiled and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"What's the stake?"

"You have a billion on your account, how about betting on that billion?"

As soon as he heard this, Mo Cheng knew that Xingchen already knew all the information he had leaked from the Internet, including his relationship with Benz and Benz's identity.

Everything that happened in front of him, what he saw, what he heard, and everything he felt, made Mo Cheng feel a sense of foreboding - although the gambling game had not yet begun, a faint sense of frustration had risen in his heart, as if he had already lost, this was the first time he had this feeling in the two years of gambling.

At one point, Mo Cheng even wanted to quit the game, but the thought was only fleeting in Mo Cheng's mind.

"What are you kidding? How can you be defeated without a fight? ”

Thinking so, Mo Cheng tapped the table with his right index finger and middle finger, and as soon as he finished knocking, nine porcelain bowls appeared on the table.

Xing Chen looked at Mo Cheng, stretched out his right hand, spread it out, and drew a word in front of him, "Please place a bet." ”

At the beginning, there was no psychology to analyze, and the simple red and black odds were half and half, so Mo Cheng didn't think much about it, turned his head and asked Le Yan, "What is the minimum bet in Fengyun Pavilion?" ”

"Fifty million." Le Yan replied.

Mo Cheng frowned slightly in reality, but in the virtual space, he didn't have any expression, and without any hesitation, he threw down the chips that symbolized fifty million, "Black." ”

"Your luck seems to be a little bad." Xingchen smiled and uncovered the porcelain bowl, revealing a red alloy plate inside, "I made a mistake the first time, this doesn't look like a good sign." ”

This is a psychological tactic that Mo Cheng is familiar with, using language to disturb the other party's train of thought, this trick Mo Cheng is familiar with, so he didn't care, he sat on the chair and replied: "As long as a person has ten consecutive matches in his life, he is already the first in the world, what is the big deal about a mistake." ”

Mo Cheng's words made Xing Chen smile, "Please place a second bet." ”

At this time, Mo Cheng didn't bet so quickly, he began to think, but after thinking for a long time, he still didn't come up with a result. The reason is simple, there are simply too few directions to choose from, either red or black.

No matter how precise the calculations and speculations are, in such a black-and-red world, they seem to be futile.

At this time, if you want to know for sure what color is under the porcelain bowl, there is only one way, and that is to see through Xingchen's heart.

However, even though he was familiar with all of Xingchen's classic gambles, when he actually came to this man, he found that he knew him as well as a stranger - he had no idea what was going on in his heart.

In such a daze, the real Mo Cheng shook his head and threw 50 million chips again, and the direction he pressed was still black.

This kind of betting method seems to be extremely mediocre, even the most ordinary gambler is afraid to do this, however, at this moment, Mo Cheng can only play like this, although this method makes him feel depressed.

"The truth is painful, but the truth is still the truth." Xingchen smiled again and opened the porcelain bowl, the alloy inside was still bright red.

Mo Cheng looked at the second red alloy silently, and didn't speak for a long time.

There are two types of gamblers, one is to bet according to reason and logic, and the other is to bet according to their own feelings.

There was no doubt that Mer Cheng was the former, and it was impossible for him to allow himself to act according to his own impulses.

Therefore, although at this time, his instinct told him that he should bet on red, but he did not listen and chose another path.

After thinking for a long time, he took out six golden chips, each of which was worth fifty million, and he lowered all six chips, and then said, "Please open the third to eighth bowls, and I will press them all black." ”

If each one is opened, then there is a fifty percent chance that each porcelain bowl will be red or black.

However, the chance of six bowls being black at the same time is less than two percent.

This is a simple application of probability, and it doesn't seem very clever, but in the current environment, this is the best way that Mo Cheng can find with his thinking logic.

However, it turned out that Mo Cheng saw Xingchen's smile again, and he smiled and opened the remaining porcelain bowls one by one until only the last one remained.

"Even though the chance of this happening is less than 2 percent, when it happens, it's still 100 percent of the way to you."

Six reds appeared in front of Mo Cheng's eyes again, and what sounded in his ears were Xing Chen's philosophical and somewhat mocking words.

At this moment, Mo Cheng had a deep feeling of being controlled, and he began to regret that he should not have come here.

"It was an unfair bet from the start." Mo Cheng thought to himself, "From the gambling opponents, the gambling venues, the gambling methods, and even the lowest bet amount, I was all led by others." If it's a 100-meter race, and the opponent sneaks 30 meters at the beginning, how can I win? ”

Just when Mo Cheng was thinking this, Xing Chen seemed to see through Mo Cheng's heart, he smiled and put the eight golden chips back in front of Mo Cheng, "Any clever gambler knows that the victory or defeat of gambling is not determined by the table, but by the outside of the table. The secret of winning gambling is never to defeat a strong opponent, but to pick an opponent that is easy to beat. This is the so-called gambler's strategy. So, you lost from the beginning, young man, you go back, I'll settle a tie with you. ”

Mo Cheng lowered his head and stared at the eight chips that had been returned in front of him in great silence. At this moment, in this virtual space, it seems that there is suddenly air, and each other can hear each other's breathing, which makes people even have the illusion that all this is happening in reality.

"Time is so eternal, the universe is so vast, no matter how much the genes evolve and the technology develops, we are just human beings after all, how can we put everything under the control of our hands?" Speaking of this, Mo Cheng gently pushed his chips back, "But if you give up just because of this, what difference is it from the dust in the universe?" ”

Mo Cheng's words made all the people present stunned, and the smiles on Xing Chen, Le Yan, and Tuo Jiao's faces all slowly disappeared, each showing a different expression.

Le Yan is what a copy should look like, Tuo is the seriousness of his thoughts, and Xingchen is slightly surprised with emotion.

Mo Cheng pushed out all the chips, "Sixty million, black." ”

Xingchen sat there with his face straight to Mo Cheng.

The two identical faces looked at each other, which was a bit weird, but the support next to Xingchen didn't feel funny, and the expression on his face was even more solemn than just now.

Le Yan, who was sitting behind Mo Cheng, smiled even brighter than just now.

Finally, Xingchen sighed, "You won." ”

Mo Cheng hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and wanted to open the porcelain bowl, but Xing Chen stretched out his hand to gently block it, "Save some face for the old man, young man." ”

Mo Cheng's hand paused for a moment, then turned his head away, looking at Le Yan behind him.

At this time, Le Yan stood up with a smile, "'Give a cigarette to light a fire'...... Alas, can you change your nickname, two billion has already hit your account. ”

"However, I didn't see the results." Mo Cheng turned his head again, pointed to the porcelain bowl, and said.

"Is there a more real result in the world than money?" Le Yan smiled and walked to Mo Cheng's side, "Young man, haven't you realized it yet?" You've made a name for yourself in the universe. Of course, if you're willing to leave your name. ”

Mo Cheng stood up, stood in place for a while, glanced at the porcelain bowl again, and finally said with a little unwillingness: "I'm leaving." ”

After saying that, Mo Cheng went offline, and his body in the virtual space disappeared without a trace.

When Mo Cheng left, Xing Chen slowly stood up and said to Le Yan: "What I said just now was not only to him, but also to you, 'Fat Pig', you are the most clever gambler." ”

As soon as Xing Chen's words were finished, Le Yan saw that there was still a little confusion on his face, so he walked to the gambling table and opened the porcelain bowl, only to see that the alloy plate exposed inside was actually red.

Seeing this situation, the already somewhat confused Tuo Jiao was even more puzzled, and he turned his face in confusion and looked at his master.

"Enthusiasm, didn't you say that this young man lacks enthusiasm and persistence?" Xingchen turned his face and looked at the support, "Did you see it just now?" That person's passion and persistence. ”

"See." "It's not that he doesn't have enthusiasm, it's just that he hasn't encountered anything that can burst enthusiasm, I was mistaken." ”

"Don't be too frustrated." Xingchen said, "Until he makes his last bet, I can't be sure if he is the kind of person I imagined. ”

Speaking of this, Xing Chen pointed to Le Yan again and said: "The last bet, if I read it wrong, then he will be red because of the previous eight consecutive setbacks, in that case, I will lose." But if, I see it right, and he goes black, then I will also admit defeat because I am reluctant to let him be frustrated. And Le Yan had expected this a long time ago, so no matter how he bet, I was a loser no matter what...... I understood the young man, but Le Yan saw through me, and I was convinced. ”

Le Yan smiled, "You don't have to think so highly of me, I'm just gambling, it's far from winning." Your loss is not to be defeated, but to give up voluntarily, and this kind of loss is not considered a loss. ”

"Why?" Tuo thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, "Master, why did you let him?" ”

"From today onwards, you don't have to follow me anymore." Xingchen didn't answer his words, but instead said something that made Tuo feel a little inexplicable.

"Huh? This ...... "Hold Firmly was completely stunned.

"Go to this man, and if he is over a hundred years old, take him as your confidant; If he is older than you, but not more than a hundred years old, partner with him; If he is more than ten years younger than you...... Be his subordinate in peace. ”

As soon as Xingchen finished speaking, he heard Le Yan smile and said, "It's not been a year or two since your master lobbied me to fund you, and I've been prevaricating him for many years. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that we businessmen are always conservative in doing things. And if you can really find this man to be your henchman, I will support you with a quarter of the family property; If you are partners, I will support you with half of your property; If you are willing to submit to him, I am willing to support you with all your possessions. ”

How much Le Yan's total net worth is, Xingchen knows. Therefore, when he heard "Fat Pig" say this, even he looked shocked, turned around and looked at Le Yan for a long time before he spit out a sentence, "You gambling madman." ”

Hearing Xing Chen's words, Le Yan looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahahaha, Xing Chen, you didn't really understand me until today." ”
