Thriller Paradise

While the host was drinking his weird drink upstairs, the guests on the first floor had already picked up the printed rules on the "table" and began to read them.

Feng bujue ... Was no exception.

Although he was quite familiar with the rules and how to play guessing numbers, and the meaning of "six-digit, ten-digit, repeatable" he still read the rules with great interest as a thoughtful and cautious person.

Brother Jue was a person who could read ten lines at a glance and had an excellent memory and comprehension. His trained brain was undoubtedly very suitable for this kind of game.

Very quickly, he thoroughly understood the rules ... And began to formulate a strategy in his mind.

Hmm ... If it was Xiao Ling or Ouyang Yu playing this game, the advantage would probably be even greater ... Feng bujue stood there and thought to himself, these two are the type who are more proficient in mathematics, know how to use it, and have a better memory; Even against me, they have a 70% chance of winning ..."

Brother Jue's ability in mathematics was actually quite average.

If he was willing to put in more effort ... He could indeed come up with the guessing formula under the standard rules. However, when he played this game before, he had never considered making a formula, because he believed that this game could only achieve the effect of training his brain by using reasoning. If he used a formula to guess ... It would not be "reasoning" but pure "calculation".

But now, under the premise of "victory and defeat," the situation was different. Without a doubt ... In this game, the person who mastered the "formula" would have a great advantage.

It was just that ... It was by no means an easy task to come up with the best guessing formula under the "six-digit, ten-digit, repeatable" rule.

It wasn't that the formula itself was difficult. With the mathematics Level of most people who had received higher education, as long as they saw the correct formula, even if they couldn't understand it, they would at least know how to use it.

However ... It would be difficult for them to "list" this formula out of thin air.

For example, many of us have learned advanced mathematics, but few of us can apply it in our daily lives (when the time is right). It's also like how many of us have studied English for many years and obtained many certificates, but it's still difficult to watch an English movie without the subtitles. It's also difficult to communicate with people from English-speaking countries ...

Perhaps, in our school days, when we are learning and coming into contact with this kind of knowledge, if we take this "guessing number" problem as a question and bring it out, there will still be people who can solve it. However, it is hard to say how long it will take.

Or, even someone with a high level of mathematics could think of the best solution.

Unfortunately ... Among the guests present, it would be difficult to find anyone who met these two conditions.

This point had naturally been confirmed by the organizer's subordinates when they collected information on these people.

Because the content of the game was personally thought up by the organizer and had already been decided, his subordinates would definitely avoid inviting people who "had a huge advantage in a certain game" onto the ship.

For example, if the organizer came up with a game based on go, then when his subordinates decided on the guest list, they naturally wouldn't invite those who used to be professional Go players.

But ... Having said that, in the case of hundreds of customers, there would eventually be some fish that slipped through the net.

Of course, people like brother Jue did not count. The reason he could impersonate Jiang daode was not only because of the secret operation of the Imperial gambling house, but also because of Wu Di's hypnotism ability. Otherwise, there was no way he could have impersonated someone like Jiang daode, who had been in the newspapers and magazines several times.

However, among the other customers, there were still one or two "fish that escaped the net" in the true sense.

And how did these people appear on the guest list? The reason wasn't complicated ...

When the host's subordinates investigated a person's background, they would definitely look at information. For example,"used to be a soldier", then it could be inferred that the person could at least shoot and drive; Or for example, a "graduate from a Music Academy", it was basically confirmed that the person's knowledge in music was far more abundant than the average person.

'These are the general circumstances, but it's not easy to deduce things that aren't in the' data '...'

Let's take go as an example. Let's say that there is a guest who has never officially learned go in his personal file, nor has he taken the amateur ranking exam, nor has he participated in any related competitions or any team records. However, he had learned go through other methods, such as self-learning from books, practicing online, finding a master who lived in seclusion to be his master, or being possessed by a ghost ... The organizer's subordinates naturally couldn't find out about such situations.

Today, there was a person on this ship who was good at mathematics, but no one, including the host, knew about this.

"Fortunately ... There are 64 people who have passed this round." Feng bujue quickly came up with a few strategies in his mind and started to drift off."If there are a few people out of the two hundred that can come up with the best solution in a short time, that's possible. But to say that more than sixty people could do it ... That was too ridiculous. Besides ... This isn't a game where you can win just by mastering the formula. Psychological games, gambling skills, and luck ... Are all very important. And on these points ..."

When brother Jue thought of this, he could not help but smile evilly under his mask."This bunch of water fish are like a bunch of cash machines ..."

…………

Ten minutes passed by quickly.

By now, most of the customers had finished reading the rules.

It wasn't a long speech to begin with, and most people would be able to finish reading it in a few minutes.

However, no one went to fight ...

Everyone stood still. No one dared to interact with others, and no one invited others to fight.

Obviously ... They were all "watching". Everyone wanted others to be the lab rats while they stood at the side and accumulated "experience" by observing the duels between others.

"Ah ... It's similar to the scenes in the games in the past ..." The host, who was sitting on a high seat and watching the show, had already drunk more than half a glass of "red wine with sweet flour sauce and wasabi" and muttered in a voice that the people below couldn't hear.

"Young master." The man in the suit A (the one who had just brought the drink) took a few steps forward, bent down, and said to the organizer,"do you want ... Me to put pressure on them ..."

"No need." The host replied,"I just wanted to see how long it would take for someone to notice the value of 'time' in this game ..." He paused."Oh, right ..." As he spoke, he raised his neck and drank the remaining drink in the cup in one gulp. Then he said,"go get me another cup of 'Yellow Peach Jam with duck mush with potato paste'. It has to be warm, and make it watery ... Also, remember to put an umbrella on this time."

"Er ..." Although suited man A was used to preparing all kinds of weird food for his "young master," he still couldn't help but be stunned every time he heard a similar weird combination.

"Alright...This subordinate will go and make the preparations!" Two seconds later, he responded, took the empty cup from the host, and left with the tray.

Meanwhile, on the first floor ...

At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was becoming more and more tense.

Although everyone was trying their best to act "naturally", in fact, they were all anxiously waiting ... Waiting for someone to break the current stalemate.

…………

"Damn it ... As expected, no one is willing to go first ..."

"All of them are sly old foxes ..."

"Anyone is fine. Hurry up and go fight. Just don't challenge me ... I don't want to be the first one."

"Tsk ... It's so uncomfortable. I really want to take off my mask, but if my face is seen in this kind of situation ..."

"I really want to go and drink some water, but if I do something that will attract attention, I might be targeted ..."

"Please, it doesn't matter who it is, what it is, even if it's someone breaking a plate ... Make some noise and break this uncomfortable atmosphere!"

…………

It was at this extremely depressing moment.

Bang Bang Bang

The door on the first floor corridor was pushed open, and a man in a suit and sunglasses ran in, panting.

As he had arrived in a hurry, he did not notice the strange atmosphere in the main hall. After he entered, he quickly found brother Jue in the crowd (after all, Feng bujue was the only male guest who was dressed casually, so it was not difficult to find him) and quickly walked toward him.

"Sir." When he was about to reach brother Jue, the man in the suit and sunglasses had already reached into his pocket."This is the curved straw you wanted." Then, he took out a whole bag of unopened straws and handed it to brother Jue."Please take as many as you need."

"Ha ..." Brother Jue smiled at him."I'll ... Take all of this."

After that, he took the whole packet of straws from the other party.

The man in the suit and sunglasses hesitated for a moment, but since the straw was not valuable or important, he did not stop the man.

"Okay, thank you, big brother." After Feng bujue took the packet of straw, he thanked the man politely. Then, he opened the packaging and took out one of the straw.

At first glance, the straw was of the better (expensive) kind. After opening the outer packaging, each straw had its own separate paper packaging.

Feng bujue placed the rest of the straw into his shirt pocket and opened the paper package in his hand. Then ... He walked to a round table that was filled with champagne. He picked up a glass and inserted the straw.

During this entire process ... Everyone was looking at him. Even if some people pretended not to look, their attention was still on him.

"Then ... Who should I start with?" Several seconds later, Feng bujue raised the glass to his eye level, and then ... He did not move the glass.

At that moment, the expression of some people in the crowd suddenly changed. Clearly, this group of people immediately realized what brother Jue was going to do.

"Hmm ... This way, huh ..." Feng bujue watched the bent straw float around the glass of champagne and then lean to the side of the glass.

The next second, he looked in the direction the straw was "pointing" at ... And his eyes stopped on the person standing closest to him in the straight line.

Coincidentally, that man ... Was the short and fat man wearing a Beijing Opera mask who had talked to the host before.

"Alright, the decision is yours." Feng bujue mumbled nonchalantly and pointed at the man.

"What ... What are you doing?" The short and fat man was shocked and couldn't help but take half a step back.

"What are you doing?" Feng bujue repeated the man's question and laughed."Ha ... Of course I'm here to challenge you to a number-guessing game."

"You ... You little brat ..." The short and fat man came back to his senses and was a little annoyed."You actually used such a casual method to decide ..."

"You're just unlucky. " Feng bujue cut him off and added,"alright, enough with the nonsense. You don't fit the condition of 'having played two matches', do you? That's why you can't refuse my challenge. " He raised his hand and gestured to the "table" beside him."Come on, don't waste time."

"Hmph ..." Two seconds later, the short and fat man snorted coldly. Then, he adjusted the collar of his evening gown, raised his head, and walked to the cart that brother Jue had pointed at with what he thought was 'majestic and steady' steps.

"I hope you won't regret this rash decision." He looked at Feng bujue and said in a loud voice,"

This sentence was not only meant for brother Jue, but also for everyone around him, including the organizer.

The short and fat man was also very clear that ... At this moment, he and the man in the crow mask in front of him had become the focus of the entire audience. The process and result of their confrontation would very likely affect the entire game that followed.

"Oh, okay ..." Feng bujue answered the man's threat perfunctorily and added,"Sir, since we will be having more interaction later, how ... Should I address you?"

"As you wish." The short and fat man replied angrily.

"Are you sure? Dorky beast. " Feng bujue's next sentence immediately changed the man's mind.

"What did you just call me?" For some reason, brother Jue's words from earlier flashed through the man's mind again.

"You don't like it? Didn't you say you'd do as you please? Stupid Hippo. " Feng bujue added.

When he said this, there were already a few people in the crowd who couldn't hold back their laughter, but they all covered their faces and chuckled, not making a sound ... After all, they didn't want to attract attention.

"Okay, okay ..." The short man compromised before brother Jue could call out the other Elfins 'names."You can call me Mr. Jing."
