娜妲莉的情人

\'Nature\' determined the choices a person could make in a critical moment.

In gambling, seeing through the opponent\'s "nature" was the shortcut to victory.

Once they were seen through, they would be disturbed, induced, and even manipulated, and eventually fall into the abyss of failure.

Mr. Jing\'s failure belonged to such a situation.

Feng bujue\'s words and actions ... As he advanced the game, he was also testing the \'nature\' of his opponent.

Using this opponent as an example ... Brother Jue soon realized that Mr. Jing\'s nature was to\' give in \', or rather,\' give in as long as there was room for compromise \'.

It would be more appropriate to describe this kind of person as a "conservative who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside"...

Years of bureaucratic work had taught him the principle of not seeking merits, but seeking no mistakes. As long as there was room for maneuver and a safe space ... He would make concessions and tell himself that "this is a rational and helpless choice."

But in fact, due to his lack of ability, he could not judge what was a rational and correct concession ...

…………

"I\'ll start the settlement now. " After hearing the "declaration of surrender," the judge immediately said,"the proposer surrendered on the 21st round, and the fine is ... 31000 dollars."

"W-what? That many?" Mr. Jing couldn\'t help but shout when he heard the amount,"why did I lose so much even after I surrendered?"

"The fine formula is written in the rules. You can check it yourself." The judge replied coldly.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jing lowered his head in a daze and picked up the printed paper with the rules written on it from the middle of the cart. He then found the relevant content.

Starting from Round 21, the second penalty formula was adopted, namely: [ 10% of the opponent\'s total amount of money at the start of the round *(50 rounds completed) %+10% of the opponent\'s bet in the round + the base fine]. The [base fine] for rounds 21 to 30 is [ 20% of the opponent\'s total amount at the start of the round].

In summary, Mr. Jing\'s fine was: 10000 *(50 20) %+80000*10%+20000, that was indeed 31000 dollars ...

"Do you understand?" The judge waited for Mr. Jing for a minute and continued,"in addition, the amount of \'gambling rounds\' has to be included, which is 1000 dollars. So ... At the end of the round, the question setter should pay the guessing team 32000 dollars. After deducting the 20000 dollars that the guessing team lost in the previous 20 rounds, there is still 12000 dollars left. Please make your payment."

"But ... Damn it ..." Mr. Jing gritted his teeth and took out the money from his plastic bag unwillingly.

After the judge received the money, he took out a cash counter from the cart. He quickly counted the correct amount and handed it to Feng bujue.

"Hehe ... Thank you." Feng bujue accepted the money from the judge with a smile and thanked Mr. Jing.

"Hmph ..." Mr. Jing snorted coldly, his hands clenched into fists, and his whole body was trembling from the dejection of his failure.

"Then ..." At this time, the judge took out the paper with the correct answer that Mr. Jing had left with him just now from his shirt pocket."This answer is invalid from now on." As he spoke, he stuffed the piece of paper into the shredder at the bottom of the cart."You two ... Please prepare for the second round."

…………

Just as they were cleaning up the table and doing the settlement ...

"Friend, let\'s play a round."

"I challenge you. Yes, you."

"Handsome, do you mind?"

"I want to challenge you. Come."

In the surrounding crowd, many people suddenly began to move.

These people who had taken action first ... Had already seen the danger of this game, so they quickly issued a "challenge" to the people around them.

…………

At the same time, on the second floor of the main hall.

"Hehe ... You\'ve finally realized it," The host looked at the people who were starting their duels one after another and read with a smile,"but ... No matter how fast they are, they can\'t catch up with the man in the crow mask. That man is leading them by an entire game."

"Young master." The man in the suit stepped forward and reminded him,"that gentleman ... Is called Jiang daode."

"Jiang daode?" The host responded. Then, he operated the tablet in his hand a few times and pulled up Jiang daode\'s information from the database."Well ... Well-known entrepreneur ... Top Ten Outstanding Young Men ... Gaming industry ... Currently, the company is on the verge of bankruptcy ..."

…………

On the other hand, the second round between Feng bujue and Mr. Jing was about to begin.

By then, brother Jue had already scribbled down six numbers on the paper and handed it to the judge.

The judge almost knelt down when he saw the six numbers ...

"You ... Are you sure it\'s these six numbers?" The judge looked at the paper with the number " 123456" written on it, and a pained look appeared in his eyes under his sunglasses.

"Yes, I am." Brother Jue replied without even thinking.

The judge nodded."Okay ..." He put away the paper and turned to look at Mr. Jing."Then, please guess the \'turn declaration\' first."

"Fifty rounds." Mr. Jing had chosen a very safe number. Of course ... With his ability, he did not have the capital to take the risk.

" 1000 dollars." And Feng bujue also gave the lowest bet.

"Wait!" Mr. Jing immediately raised his voice,"this bet amount is not right, right? You already have 112000 dollars in cash, so you have to place at least 1120 dollars as a down bet. "

"Humph ..." Feng bujue chuckled."Why don\'t you go and read the rules again?"

"What?" Mr. Jing was taken aback by his words. Then, he flipped through the rules.

In the end, he was dumbfounded again ...

The rules stated that during the \'gambling round\', the minimum bet placed by the question-setting party must not be less than 1% of the total amount of gold they held at the beginning of the duel.

Please note that this was used as "this duel" and not "this duel".

This concept was undoubtedly different, because a "time" of dueles...Had a total of two "games."

"Just as this gentleman said." A few seconds later, the judge also spoke."The minimum amount for a \'gambling round\' is calculated according to the amount of money held at the beginning of the duel. Otherwise ... If a guessing party loses in the first round and only has a few hundred dollars left, then wouldn\'t it only cost a few dollars for him to place a bet in the second round as the question setter?"

"Tsk ..." Mr. Jing said,"Alright, alright~1000 Yuan it is." He picked up his pen and looked like he was ready to go."I\'ll bet 880 dollars on the first round. Are you in or not?"

Mr. Jing\'s total amount of cash in this round was 88000 dollars, and the "minimum amount for each round" was still calculated according to the total amount of cash he had at the beginning of the round, so the amount he called out was reduced accordingly.

"I surrender," To his surprise, the next second, Feng bujue used a very calm tone to reply with this.

When he said this, Mr. Jing had already written two zeros on the paper ...

"You\'re going to vote ... Huh?" It wasn\'t until he was about to finish writing six zeros that Mr. Jing reacted,\'what? You surrender?"

Feng bujue ignored him and turned to the judge.""Mr. Judge, let\'s settle the bill."

"I see ..." The judge thought to himself,"this kid had planned to surrender in the first round, so he could write anything he wanted ..."

Hence, after a few seconds of mental calculation, the judge announced,""The person who set the question surrendered in the first round. The fine is ... 8888 dollars."

When Mr. Jing heard the number, he did not raise any more doubts, because he had just gone through the rules again, so he knew that the number was correct.

Since Feng bujue had surrendered in the first round, he used the first set of formulas, which was 10% of the opponent\'s total amount at the start of the round *(50+ the number of rounds completed) %+10% of the opponent\'s bet in the round + the base fine (the base fine for one to ten rounds is 5% of the opponent\'s total amount at the start of the round). After putting in the numbers, it was 8800*(50 to 0) %+88+4400, and the result was a number.

"Including the \'betting round\', it\'s a total of 9888 dollars." The judge then turned to brother Jue."Please pay."

Feng bujue took out a stack of money and handed it to the judge.""What about the change?"

"Of course we\'re prepared." When the judge responded, he had already taken out a small box from the locked part in the middle of the cart. The box was filled with several kinds of small denomination notes.

In short, Feng bujue and Mr. Jing\'s duel of guessing numbers ended just like that.

In the end, Feng bujue only won $2112 from the man.

Although he didn\'t win much ... At this point, the surrounding customers finally realized the importance of "total gold in possession" in this game.

This was because "betting rounds" were based on how much money one had at the start of the match, while "surrender fine" was based on how much money the opponent had at the start of each round ...

When the player played the role of "guessing," the higher the total amount of gold in possession, the higher the fine of the opponent. In contrast, if the player had less gold in possession, the opponent could pay less fine.

From this point of view, the "challenger" undoubtedly had the leading power, because the Challenger could first take on the role of the "guessing game." As long as you obtained enough benefits in the guessing game and lowered the other party\'s capital limit, then when you took on the role of the "challenger," the surrender fine you had to pay would naturally be reduced.

Moreover ... This kind of "capital advantage" was basically a rolling snowball effect. The winner would gain more and more advantages, while the loser would find it harder and harder to turn the tables, so ... It had to be fast!

…………

"I challenge you!"

"I challenge you!"

"No, I was the one who challenged you first!"

"Nonsense, I was the one who said it first!"

For a moment, the surrounding crowd was in chaos.

Those who reacted quickly had already started to find other people to fight when the first round between brother Jue and Mr. Jing ended.

As for those who were "half a beat slower", or rather ..."Most people", they only reacted after watching the second round\'s settlement. They were eager to challenge each other, and everyone wanted to be the first to guess the formula.

This kind of scene was common to the men in suits and sunglasses, and they were also familiar with how to deal with it.

"Everyone, calm down. There\'s no need to argue. The two people who need to fight, please come to the table first."

"The two of you, please come to the table,"

"Don\'t be impatient, please come to me. "

Under the persuasion of the men in suits, the people who were arguing came to the table one after another. Then ... The men in suits took out their tablets and played real-time video to determine who was the first to "say" the challenge declaration.

…………

On the other hand ...

"Hmph ... I\'ll consider it your win this time." After Mr. Jing took back the 9888 dollars, he even said to brother Jue,"our landscape is perfect ..."

"There\'s nothing else," Feng bujue did not even allow the man to finish his sentence before he interrupted."Someone like you ... Will not be able to leave this ship tonight."

"What did you say ..." Mr. Jing was a little angry from embarrassment. He rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, as if he wanted to use force.

However, when he reached brother Jue, he felt a chill run down his spine.

At that moment, not only was Mr. Jing unable to speak, but he also found it difficult to breathe.

He suddenly had a feeling that under the strange crow mask ... It was not a human, but an even more terrifying and unknown creature ...

"It doesn\'t matter if you agree or not, I still have to say what I said." Feng bujue saw that the other party had stopped talking, so he continued coldly,"if you are not happy with your loss, I don\'t mind betting with you for one more round, or even two or three rounds, until I win all your money."

Mr. Jing didn\'t continue the conversation, but retreated ...

"But now ..." Feng bujue said as he slowly turned around.

At that moment, a tall man with a gold mask was standing behind brother Jue.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Feng bujue looked at the man and said,"

"Hehe ... It\'s only been a minute or two." The tall man replied with a smile.

Their conversation seemed like ordinary polite words to others, and it seemed to have no beginning or end.

But in reality, these two simple "greetings" were both testing each other and showing each other their strength.

Feng bujue \'s\' sorry to have kept you waiting \'was meant to say,\' I know you have been waiting behind me for a long time, waiting to challenge me. \'

The tall man\'s calm response, as well as his challenge of the crow-masked man, showed that he was not an ordinary person.

"Then ... Let\'s start." Feng bujue added.

"Sure." As the tall man spoke, he strode towards where Mr. Jing had been standing.

"Judge, I have issued a challenge to the gentleman in the crow mask." As he walked, he turned his head and greeted the judge.

Hearing that, the judge looked at brother Jue. Although he was wearing sunglasses, she could feel that ... He was looking at her with a questioning gaze.

"Why are you looking at me?" Feng bujue replied,"this is my second match. I can not reject the challenge before I finish this match."

"If that\'s the case, then ... Please come up with the question first." The judge continued.

Feng bujue shrugged. He took out another piece of paper from the cart and placed it on the table. He still didn\'t think much and wrote down a set of numbers.

This time, when the judge accepted the \'answer sheet\', he was prepared to see \' 123456\' again, but ... Brother Jue\'s answer this time was more normal. It was \' 953724\'.

"Eh? "No repeated numbers ..." The judge immediately thought to himself,"but ... If I think about it carefully, it seems to be a good choice not to use repeated numbers on the premise that all the numbers will be tested in the first nine rounds. After all,\'which six numbers\' won\'t be a problem from the tenth round. If the numbers are determined, there will be more combinations that don\'t repeat. "

The judge put the answer into his pocket and said to the tall man,""Please make a declaration."

"Haha ..." The man chuckled."Eighteen rounds."

"What?" Mr. Jing, who was standing nearby, couldn\'t help but exclaim when he heard this.

"Hmph ... What\'s the big deal?" The tall man looked at Mr. Jing and felt that it was funny."By the way ... Why are you still here?"

Mr. Jing was unhappy at his question.""What\'s wrong? Can\'t I just stand here and watch for a while?"

"You still don\'t understand?" The tall man replied,"this ... Is a time to race against time ..." He raised his finger to point at Feng bujue."In order to buy time, that Mr. Doomsayer gave you a few thousand dollars for free. Why don\'t you appreciate it?"

"What did you just say?" Mr. Jing was puzzled."When did he give me a few thousand dollars?"

"Oh?" The tall man laughed again when he heard this."What? Don\'t you even know the most basic thing like \'how many rounds can we escape from\'?" He shook his head and said,"phew ... No wonder they said you won\'t be able to leave tonight."

"You bunch of people, what are you all talking about!" Mr. Jing\'s anger was ignited again."If you have something to say, just say it. Don\'t beat around the bush!"

"Sigh ..." The tall man sighed and explained,"then let me give you an example ... If that man played with you for a while longer, for example ... When he suddenly surrendered in Round 19, you can calculate the difference between the fine and the bet you have to pay."

This kind of mental calculation could be completed by even primary school students, but Mr. Jing could still complete it. He looked down at the formula on the rules and calculated it immediately.

A dozen seconds later, Mr. Jing\'s expression changed and he muttered,""The bottom bet of 880 dollars for 18 rounds is ... 15840 dollars ... And the fine for 19 rounds of surrender is 14872 dollars ... I ... I didn\'t win any money, but I lost 968 dollars?"

"That\'s right. " The tall man continued,"however, you still have the one thousand dollars from the round, so you can still earn thirty-two dollars. (Because the base bet for the round is fixed at one thousand, when Mr. Jing guessed, Feng bujue was still at a loss at round nineteen, and he would only be able to make a profit at round twenty.) But that is still far from the 9888, right?" He paused for half a second and continued,"then what if ... He waited until round 20 before surrendering? "You don\'t have to count. Let me tell you ... Even if you count the 1000 dollars from the gambling round, you\'ll still lose 760 dollars ..." He smiled (although the other party could not see) and said,"this ... Is the so-called \'escape round\'; To the party who set the question first, this is very important, but you didn\'t grasp it well ... When you were the question maker, if you had surrendered one or two rounds earlier before the other party raised the bet, even if you didn\'t win much money, at least you wouldn\'t have lost a few thousand. "

"I ... I ..." Mr. Jing gritted his teeth regretfully under the mask and mumbled gloomily,"if only I could have been one round earlier ..."

"There is no such assumption." The tall man interrupted him."I advise you to find a place and calculate the fine and reward for each round ... Then, while everyone still has to accept the challenge, finish your \'second match\'. As for what we\'re going to play ..." He said and looked at brother Jue."This is not a game that people of your level can get involved in ..."
