Chapter 65: The Game of Luck
The Nine Star Division laid out a big game of chess, and guided Ye Feng step by step to join the Nine Star Division, the purpose was to make Ye Feng the eyeliner of the Nine Star Division in the South Hall.
Moreover, behind this incident, it seems to be related to the demon clan.
"What do you need me to do?"
Faced with Ye Feng's question, Han Nian did not tell him the answer directly, but changed his words: "The specific details of the task need to depend on your ability." ”
"What am I capable of?" This sentence made Ye Feng a little puzzled.
Han Nian nodded: "Every member of the Nine Star Division has to conduct an exam, and according to the results of the exam, this person's ability will be decided. Those who are capable naturally need to do something important. ”
This time, Ye Feng understood that it was the entrance exam, and it was rated as excellent and poor. Excellent people will be more inclined to resources, and it will be easier to get subsequent promotions and salary increases.
"No problem, how to take the exam?"
"There are four levels in the exam, which are 'luck', 'wisdom', 'martial arts', and 'dao', because you only have two realms, and they are specially recruited, so you don't need to take the 'martial arts', as long as you take the other three levels."
After speaking, Ye Feng followed Han Nian out of the interrogation room, through a door, stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the Phantom Star Pavilion.
Now it seems that compared to the gate on the white jade steps, this is the main entrance of the Phantom Star Pavilion.
Coming to the hall on the first floor, Ye Feng saw a huge black background gold character Jiuxing Division plaque, and under the plaque, there was a pair of gold characters:
"It is difficult to complete the matter, things are not two-fold, both the nobles are in the world, and the people live in the world, if there is no virtue, they will suffer from it."
On the surface, it means that things cannot be satisfactory everywhere, and if you are in a high position and live in a mansion, if you are not virtuous, you will definitely suffer calamity.
Twenty-four words, concise and clear, easy to understand, but the deep meaning behind it is frightening.
Because this sentence, on the surface, is a kind of warning and admonition, but in fact, it is a kind of deterrence and bottom line, and it describes the situation of the Nine Star Division.
The Nine Star Division is an imperial power department with huge power and is an extremely popular minister. If the Nine Stars Division does not have good virtues and cannot do things for the emperor, then it will definitely suffer calamity.
"This is the beginning of the establishment of the Nine Star Division, written by Song Gong himself, for all the Nine Star Division to introspect." Han Nian explained lightly, not staying too much in front of the golden characters.
It seems that this Song Gong should be the commander of the Nine Star Division.
Han Nian brought Ye Feng to a door: "The assessment must avoid suspicion, I, as your boss, can't accompany you in." Go in by yourself, someone will pick you up behind the door, and I'll be waiting for you at the exit when you're done with the exam. ”
"Don't let me down."
After speaking, Han Nian turned around and left.
Immediately after, the door in front of Ye Feng suddenly opened, and inside was a room that was not spacious.
As soon as he walked in, Ye Feng ran into an acquaintance - the gold medal who had just interrogated him.
"Your Excellency." Ye Feng was respectful and bowed.
Although he is not his direct boss, as a gold medalist, he is also an executive of the Nine Star Division.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ji Shaoyang, and I am a one-star gold medal of the Nine Star Division." Gold introduced himself.
"Lord Ji." Ye Feng arched his hand again and shouted very respectfully.
Then, Ye Feng raised his eyes slightly and asked weakly, "Excuse me...... How many gold medals does the Nine Star Division have? ”
"The Nine Star Division currently has a total of nine gold medals, and all of them are one-star gold medals."
"All one star? Isn't there a two-star and three-star one? Ye Feng asked subconsciously.
I don't know if this sentence offended Ji Shaoyang, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Ye Feng: "The first level is called 'luck', which is luck." Look at your luck, after all, there are many things that require not only strength, but also a little bit of luck to succeed. ”
Ye Feng agreed with Ji Shaoyang's opinion, and then asked, "How to take the exam?" ”
"Guess the coin."
Ji Shaoyang said "hey", and a smile of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.
It's just that this smile is matched with his strong figure, and it feels very inconsistent.
Greasy.
Disgusting.
Then, Ji Shaoyang walked to a square table and sat down, and took out a coin from his pocket.
"The gameplay is very simple, I toss a coin to decide whether you win or lose, if it's heads, you win, if it's tails, you lose, a total of ten bets. The eight gold plates in front of you are your chips, and the bet for each hand is half of your chips. If you win the first game, I'll give you four gold plates, so you have twelve. If you win the second game, I'll lose you six gold plates. And so on, after ten rounds, if you have more chips than you have now, you win, and vice versa, I win. ”
Ye Feng understood the rules, but he still had to ask for details: "If I only have one gold plate left and lose, how much should I give you?" ”
"I like serious young people." Ji Shaoyang smiled and said: "One gold plate is equal to ten silver plates, and one silver plate is equal to ten copper plates, you can rest assured, this is an absolutely fair game." ”
This game sounds really fair, and there are only two sides of the coin, which are indeed 50% probable in terms of probability.
But that's just a probability, and with luck, it's not impossible to have ten heads in a row.
And, is it really a game of luck? As an imperial department, would the Nine Star Division believe in such a thing as luck?
Also, I always feel that Ji Shaoyang's smile has bad intentions.
As a psychology expert, Ye Feng quickly discovered the logical trap in this fair game.
Although the stakes in each round sound like half of the bet, if you lose one round, you will have 8/2 = 4, and if you win another round, you will have 4/2 * 3 = 6.
On the contrary, if you win first, it is 8/2*3=12, and then you lose 12/2=6.
Therefore, winning and losing are not equal at all, and after winning and losing, their chips will only be less than the original.
In addition, coin toss is a seemingly fair but actually unfair game.
To win the game, the coin must appear heads more than seven times.
Ten chances, fifty percent of the time, six wins is already good luck.
Ye Feng sat opposite Ji Shaoyang, looked at the eight gold plates on the table, and said with a smile: "No, this game is not fair at all, I don't think I will have seven positive chances, I don't play." ”
Ji Zhaoyang opened his mouth, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was silent for a second and smiled: "It is worthy of being the person that Song Gong has a crush on, refuses to play, and has courage." ”
Ye Feng opened his mouth, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "What? I'm the one Song Gong has a crush on? ”
Ji Zhaoyang showed a noncommittal expression, got up and said, "This is the first level 'luck', let's go to the second level." ”
"So...... Have I passed this level? Ye Feng got up slowly.
"Regardless of whether the coin toss game is won or lost, you can enter the second level, and the comprehensive score of the four levels is the result of your assessment, follow me."
