Chapter 298: The Wisdom of the Soldiers
After learning that the soldiers were all right, Shen Chao also calmed down, he hurried to the hotel where the soldiers were currently in a hurry, and recalled the movie he had just seen on the way. When he arrived at the hotel, he found Custer in front of a slot machine in the casino downstairs.
At this time, Custer was watching all the soldiers' activities in the dark, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, half of the soldiers were having fun in the casino, and the other half were looking for another kind of fun in the suite upstairs.
How did they get their money? This is the small benefit that Shen Chao gave them. Before that, he asked Sun Yang to apply for 100 credit cards.
Each credit card has a $500,000 limit, and these cards have previously been issued to soldiers for free, one per person. As long as it is within this limit, soldiers can swipe their cards and buy whatever they want.
Even if it exceeds this limit, it's no problem, just send him a new card, or let the nearest agent pay for it, Shen Chao doesn't care much about the cost of the soldiers' trip.
He understood that if he wanted these soldiers to work within his own organizational system for a long time, it was not only possible with the strict military system. These soldiers are very smart, and they all know their situation.
When Shen Chao observed them, they were also watching Shen Chao's actions, if Shen Chao fulfilled his promise to them, they would also repay the favor, but if Shen Chao deceived them and did not fulfill his promise, they would not obey so much.
This is what Shen Chao learned from Todd before, although the soldiers are loyal, they are also very talkative. More one than the other is reputable. But they are not fools either, and if they are tricked by someone else, these people will only treat the person who played them in one way......
"How are they?" Shen Chao asked after finding Custer. He saw that there were only half of the people they had brought with him.
"Half of them are on this floor, and the other half is ...... upstairs with a group of high-class prostitutes," Castor replied, gesturing in a few other directions inside the casino.
At this time, he was drinking the free drinks provided by the casino and throwing coins into the slot machine, completely unconcerned about the result of each stop of the slot machine.
"Oh, they're more open than I thought. Shen Chao sighed after looking at the directions he was pointing. A few soldiers who were still in the casino gathered in groups of three.
They are very organized to spread out several different tables and are playing different gambling games. And they seem to be having a good time.
Look at the number of chips in front of them and the crowd gathered next to them. There is no doubt that they all won a lot of money. Drinking wine, all kinds of social beauties next to him threw themselves into their arms, which was really enjoyable in all senses.
It's a Vegas tradition, and there are always some well-dressed women roaming the casino, and if you see a lucky banker, you'll throw yourself into it.
Many of these women were prostitutes. There are also many who come here remotely from other places. I hope to catch a rich husband's "good family girl" in the casino.
The reason why Shen Chao liked to come to Vegas so much in the cell division plane before was because of the inexhaustible and constantly updated beauty resources here.
"This is Vegas, and that's the magic. And they're human beings after all. Custer pursed his lips and sighed.
He hadn't expected these soldiers to adapt to the atmosphere so quickly, although the soldiers' expressions were still stiff, but there was no doubt that they were all learning to enjoy the atmosphere.
And their "luck" seems to be quite good, the soldiers are actually divided into 3 squads. They play at 3 tables that are not close to each other, and each team has a lot of chips on the table. And according to the audience's reaction, they are all winning.
This caught Shen Chao's attention, and he quickly noticed that Sun Yang was negotiating with a hall manager at a gaming table in the distance.
Behind him was a table with a soldier playing blackjack and had just won a lot of chips. People around were congratulating. Their chips are hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"What's going on?" Shen Chao pointed over there and asked. He couldn't understand why these soldiers were so good at gambling, after all, they hadn't played this game before.
"Oh, they've won too much. The casino may want to kick them away. Custer was surprised, as if he had seen it before.
"But how so? They didn't know that before they came? Shen Chao asked with confusion, he still didn't understand why these soldiers were so good at gambling, they had never played this before.
"Look closely, they're all playing 21. Custer didn't answer him directly. Instead, he pointed to the gambling table in the distance and reminded him, as soon as he said this, Shen Chao immediately had an idea. There's a lot to be tapped into.
"How can they count cards so well?" After Shen Chao figured it out, it was inconceivable that although he never gambled, it was out of professional attributes. He also understands the rules.
It's not easy to mentally calculate a 21 result at the table. At least he couldn't do it when he was a field agent.
"Have you forgotten their information, these guys have studied advanced math. Round math ability. They're good enough to be professors of mathematics at the university here. ”
"They're new to gambling, but they're familiar with numbers, and they know how to organise and work ......," Custer said, pointing to one of the soldiers.
Shen Chao only remembered such a stubble after he said this, the two disciplines of physics and mathematics of the soldiers' mother plane human beings are very developed.
The soldiers, in turn, received such higher education. So their math level is also very high. Although they are not as good as professional scholars in their home plane, they are at the top level in the main plane in these two fields.
Shen Chao carefully observed for a while before he realized how they were doing, it turned out that each group of soldiers was cooperating in gambling.
They were secretly communicating at the table. A small movement, or even a look, these people who have grown up together since childhood can understand each other.
They were communicating in such a secret way, exchanging opinions and calculations, so they were actually working closely together, using their combined mental arithmetic power to decide how much to bet. So in the favor of probability, they can always win.
"Oh, I see, it's smart. But aren't there thousands of casinos? Shen Chao asked after seeing it. Casinos have never been a fair place.
Although most of the time, these big casinos make money by chance, when they lose hard, they will also pay thousands like any gambler.
"Apparently not yet, but I guess it's going to be soon." Especially now that they're getting bigger and bigger. Custer gestured to one of the tables, where one of the soldiers had just placed a $400,000 bet.
A few minutes later, the 400,000 was lost, and the dealer finally came out of the thousand. After losing, the soldier immediately stood up angrily, he had calculated that he would win.
However, he didn't get mad when he stood up, looked at the other soldiers standing beside him, and finally left the casino floor with his comrades without saying a word, and took the elevator back to his room.
"What's going on?" Didn't fight? Shen Chao saw this and said strangely, according to his understanding, these soldiers should be mad after realizing that they were being tricked by the casino.
At least based on what he had known about the soldiers in the previous two weeks, something like this was bound to happen. These humanoid fighters don't know what it means to admit defeat.
"Because this is not the first time they have encountered such a situation, in the previous casino, they broke the arms of 2 security guards, and your agent and I spent a lot of money to settle the casino and the police.
After that, I made them promise not to do that, that's why they were so restrained. Custer recounted what had happened in the few hours that Shen Chao had missed.
"So that's ......" Shen Chao was not surprised to hear this.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, what about the movie?" Custer mentioned this, and suddenly remembered and asked Shen Chao about his movie-watching experience.
"Very good. Here's a sample. Let's see, the money we threw at it was not in vain. Shen Chao said and handed the USB drive containing the movie to Cust.
"What if you still can't get through after that?" Custer asked, shaking it after getting the USB drive. Shen Chao had not tried to travel into the world described in literary works before.
In fact, he has been trying to do this all the time, and the world depicted in science fiction, magic, documentary and even romance literature. But no matter how much he tried, it didn't work.
Shen Chao knew many of these literary masterpieces more than he knew about the worlds he had already traversed, but as if he was missing some key element, he could not successfully complete the crossing.
According to his guess, this is most likely due to the lack of visual elements, and the worlds he has traveled to before are all worlds with clear images from movies and games. Maybe that's the key.
So he started preparing this movie very early, asked the agent to negotiate the copyright, found a good producer and distribution company, and found a director with a fork...... Now it's time to verify the veracity of this conjecture.
"Then we'll wait for the premiere of the movie to see if it's due to some group effect." Group consciousness or something. If that doesn't work, then we've left a masterpiece of art to the world anyway. ”
Shen Chao replied quite freely, anyway, even if this reality fails, he has a lot of other planes to traverse, it is just to spend some more time developing.
