Chapter 44: Changing the rules of the game
"How did you come up with this?" Wang Zheng took a small sip of tea.
Wang Zheng has discovered just now that every time he drinks a sip of bitter tea, and then opens his mouth to inhale, there is a trace of sweetness on his tongue, obviously the tea that Nick prepared for Wang Zheng is very unusual, even if it can't be brewed, it is still a good cup of tea.
"When two people play chess, in general, there are two situations in which the real-world status of both sides is played." Cage didn't seem to answer the question, but he knew that Wang Zheng would definitely understand.
Just now, Wang Zheng almost didn't think about it and laid out a killing game that was almost certain to die, and it was a killing game that made the other party have to kill himself, this terrifying layout ability has shown Wang Zheng's superb wisdom.
"Well, both sides are equal, or one side is higher." Wang Zheng said lightly.
"Yes. If both sides are equal, the outcome of the game depends on their ability. But if one side is weaker than the other, then the weaker side must be carefully weighed. Whether to defeat the opponent with their own ability and win the chess game, or to deliberately lose to the opponent considering the opponent's real-world status, or to take a balance between the two, neither let the opponent lose too badly, too much loss of face, nor weaken their own momentum and make the opponent look down on them, this balance is related to many factors. Cage wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Don't look at the head of his analysis, in fact, he is very worried in his heart. When Wang Zheng first met the members of Hydra outside Nick's command room, Wang Zheng was still smiling, but the next moment he turned his face and beat more than a hundred special attack team fighters into minced meat, that is to say, this Wang Zheng's personality is quite unstable, and he belongs to the type that immediately turns his face when he is unhappy. Don't look at Wang Zheng is drinking tea comfortably now, maybe the next moment, he will make a move to beat him into meat puree.
But he said it for a while, Wang Zheng still didn't make a move, it seems that Wang Zheng has no intention of doing it for the time being, and Cage is also relieved.
"But our relationship doesn't fall into either of those two categories." Wang Zheng said lightly.
Wang Zheng wants to see how this Cage explains what he did just now, if his explanation can satisfy Wang Zheng, it's okay to let him go, if not, dare to play him Wang Zheng, you have to pay a heavy price.
"Our relationship is worse than the second scenario mentioned above." Cage paused, picked up the water in the cup, and poured it without considering the temperature of the water.
"In the above two situations, there is a premise, that is, no matter what the identities of the two people are in reality, the chess game itself is fair, and if the strength is strong, it is completely okay to want to win. But the chess game between the two of us is in an extremely unfair state. Cage continued, and as he spoke, he secretly glanced at the movement of Wang Zheng's feet, but fortunately, there was no deviation, and he even pointed to the door.
"Huh." Wang Zheng smiled casually, didn't say anything, and didn't care about Cage's small movements, just gestured to continue.
"This game, no matter how I make a move, is bound to fail. Once I fail, in the real world, I am also a dead end. The only way to survive is to change the rules of the game on both sides. Cage continued, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Because as soon as he finished speaking, he found that Wang Zheng's face showed a satisfied smile, this smile was just like the smile shown by the chief after he successfully completed the task for the first time, which made people feel relieved and excited. Come to think of it, even if there is no guarantee that Wang Zheng will not turn his face, at least the possibility of not turning his face is greater than before.
"So, you just swallow a coin, unless you kill you and take the coin out, there is no comparison between the three coins, and I have no way to prove that what you said is wrong." Wang Zheng had an inexplicable smile on his face, mainly mocking, this Cage thought things too simply. But for some reason, Wang Zheng had a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Hehe, does Mr. Wang know why I say so much?" Seeing Wang Zheng's expression, Cage also showed a very strange expression on his face, of course, it was more of a relief, he finally succeeded.
"Humph!" Sensing that something was wrong, Wang Zheng's eyes widened, and the power of his mind was activated, and the powerful force field directly acted on Cage's stomach, and he found the only thing in his stomach at the first time. Then Wang Zheng hooked his fingers and dragged out the coin he had swallowed earlier in a retching sound of "uh-uh-uh" from Cage.
"Sure enough." Seeing the coin stained with Cage's gastric juice suspended in front of him, Wang Zheng's face not only did not move, but showed an expression of satisfaction and appreciation, of course, Wang Zheng was not interested in Cage's gastric juice, but in him as a person.
"After much comparison, I found that the three coins were exactly the same size. So I have to change that, but in a way that you can't see through for a short time, so that you don't stop it. Cage wiped the gastric juice from the corner of his mouth and said lightly.
"After you started misleading, I thought you swallowed one coin so that the three coins could not be compared, so that you actually planned to do so." The more indifferent this Cage is, the more Wang Zheng appreciates him. In the situation that he would be killed by Wang Zheng at any time, he could still arrange such a game, which made it difficult for Wang Zheng not to appreciate it, and even directly ignored what he was played.
"yes. The three coins are iron, silver, and gold, with only the iron being broken down by stomach acid. Three coins are the same size, and as long as the iron coin is broken down, even a little bit, then it is the smallest. Cage rinsed his mouth with a mouthful of hot water, and the taste of stomach acid was so unpleasant.
He had only said that gold coins were the largest, but he didn't say which was the smallest, so there's a problem. You say that the gold coin is the largest, but there is also a silver coin here, so how can you guarantee that the gold coin must be bigger than the silver coin? And which one is the smallest? This gave Wang Zheng the opportunity to make trouble. That's why Cage delayed time later, he wanted to give time for stomach acid secretion and digestion, so that the iron coin would become the smallest, so in Wang Zheng's original unsolvable multiple-choice question, he could guess which one was the smallest coin, and which one was the largest, did it matter? And to be a man to be content, after playing Wang Zheng, I want to guess the two correctly, in case Wang Zheng turns his face directly, the gains outweigh the losses.
And if Wang Zheng wants to refute him, he must go back in time and compare the original three coins with each other, but this is obviously impossible. So Wang Zheng can only suffer this dumb loss, unless Wang Zheng breaks his promise, but speaking counts as one of Wang Zheng's few principles.
In fact, Cage didn't have to be so troublesome at all, he directly scratched the gold coin on the ground, and the coin would be rubbed off and become the smallest, but it was foreseeable that Wang Zheng would definitely kill him in the next moment, so he could only use this more tactful method.
Wang Zheng feels that this loss is worth it, because compared with the loss, there is no doubt that the gain this time is greater, and Wang Zheng's gain is Cage. Wang Zheng has met several such people before, Agent Coulson and Green Goblin Osborne in the Iron Man world, Chris the helicopter pilot in the Hulk world, and Morgan sent by the US government before.
"Does Mr. Wang want to take me as a subordinate?" Just when Wang Zheng was thinking about how to trick Cage over, Cage spoke first.
Cage was originally very confident in his speculation, because the possessiveness of the red fruit in Wang Zheng's eyes fully exposed Wang Zheng's thoughts. But Wang Zheng's next move made him stunned, because Wang Zheng didn't pay attention to him at all, but rushed out of the tent directly, what is this Wang Zheng going to do?
The reason why Wang Zheng rushed out of the tent was because he suddenly smelled the sweet smell of chocolate.
(Book friends who don't understand this chapter and the previous chapter can post in the book review area, or ask in the group, and the group number is related to the work.) Also, who knows, what is the sweet fragrance that Wang Zheng smells? )
