Mastering Probability: Start with Basic Skills

Chapter 96 Winner Takes All ([-] words)

"First of all, this fundraising event is not limited to the entire school staff. All students, as long as they have extraordinary power of six locks or above, can participate."

As soon as Li Jianyi said this, there was a loud bang, and the students started talking heatedly!
However, although the students were surprised, they still found it reasonable.

"It seems that the principal wants to make a big gain and let more characters like the Lucky Sisters appear among the students. After all, before the Lucky Sisters, there were only a few deans who could win steadily among the professors."

Some students speculated this.

"I have inside information, saying that various countries have been dissatisfied with the university for a long time. Every time the Extraordinary chips are controlled by a few veteran professors, even if they get some good things, they are given priority to share the profits.

Therefore, this time it seems to be an internal reform of the school, but in fact, several countries are using this method to eliminate the advantages of a few veteran professors in order to obtain more good things. "

said another.

"Will this way of spreading the chips really increase the income of the school?"

"Whether the income from the school is high or not is none of your business! You might as well care about yourself. If you can get one or two extraordinary chips, maybe you can win a big sum at Wanxing Casino?"

"But the minimum requirement is six locks. Are there fifty of our students who have reached the six locks level?"

The student who asked the question was speechless, because he knew that it would be quite difficult to reach the Sixth Lock.

You must know that the academic system of Guangyao University lasts for six years. Basically, as long as you can break one lock in one year, you can get a diploma by breaking six locks in the sixth year.

The extraordinary power of Liusuo can already serve as managers above the grassroots level in the military and political systems of various countries.

Practice for a while and start at the middle level!

Those with eight locks can already serve as leaders or important decision-makers in some cities with 10 people.

After all, no matter what type of ability is awakened, as long as you have extraordinary power, you can master secret skills, or use extraordinary items to counterattack S and A-level ability users!
Although the difficulty is not small, these external forces are indeed composed of real combat power.

Of course, if S-level and A-level ability users master the same number of secret skills, then as long as their ability application and operation skills are not too bad, they will win against lower-level players in the same situation.

"There are probably fifty Six Locks. After all, our overlord-level extraordinary school has not cultivated this number. Do you think that the allocations and resources from various countries are all a joke?"

The discussion continued.

On the side, Aci activated his detecting spirit and placed the situation in Li Xun's ear, explaining it carefully.

Ruan Qiluo's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, showing a thoughtful expression.

Huo Bingying smiled bitterly when she saw Ruan Qiluo's expression.

On the other side, Li Jianyi paused for a moment and then continued:

"Secondly, there is no limit for extraordinary chips except for the final winner. Everyone else can get up to three chips each."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Shenming of the Chaozhou Instrument Research Institute, who had previously supported the plan, also changed his face slightly and asked loudly:

"Principal Li, is this overkill? Everyone has a quota, so can this still allow the best among the students to stand out?"

Li Chenxian on the side sneered and said:
"Dean Lu, didn't you say before that expanding the base is a good thing? Now that each person has a limit, the base that can enter the Wanxing Casino this time will definitely be greatly expanded. Isn't this a great good thing?"

Lu Shenming immediately retorted: "Dean Li, you can't say that..."

At this moment, Li Jianyi said calmly: "You two, it's past the time for discussion, so be silent!"

As soon as the words fell, the two people's mouths were still moving, but the sound could no longer be transmitted.

Li Xun's eyes flashed: "Is it similar to the ability or secret skill of speaking the spirit and holding the Tianxian in the mouth? It has such a large range of control, it's a bit powerful."

You know, Li Jianyi is already floating 20 meters in the air at this moment, and is nearly 30 meters away from the two of them.

As for the blazing ability behind Li Jianyi, it should also be the use of original secret skills.

Li Jianyi continued:

"Of course, I believe that many people also have the same question as Dean Lu. It's very simple. We want the winner to take all!

Others who have fished in troubled waters and amassed a large amount of chips, don’t bother!

To win, let the strongest win back what we need.

As for others who cannot become the final winner of this event, those who can get one or two chips can go to Wanxing Casino to try their luck.

Our base is large enough this time. As long as a few people can make a lot of money, that’s enough!
The limit of three is to prevent those people from holding too many chips, and the base is not enough to play the role of momentum, and it is easy to be harvested by the big dealers in the casino. It is unnecessary!

That’s leeks delivered to your door!Do you understand what I mean? "

Li Jianyi explained this way. Although there were still some discussions, the overall disagreements were much less.

Li Xun's eyes were strange and he said:
"To put it bluntly, Principal Li Jianyi's method is not to harvest the previous middle group, but to let the strongest gain the most.

Then, some soup was left for the most immature group, so that each of them could try their luck. Anyway, the total amount was not much. Winning was the best, and losing was nothing? "

Ruan Qiluo said softly: "Professor Sai summed it up right."

Li Xun noticed that Ruan Qiluo's eyes seemed to be much gentler when he looked at him, as if he was about to drip water.

At this time, Li Jianyi's explanation continued.

“The third point is also a very important point. In this fundraising event, it is mandatory that those involved in the last fundraising event who still have chips on their bodies must participate in this event!
That is, those who hold chips must face challenges from others. If they win, their ranking points will be +5 points. If they lose, they must give away a chip! "

Li Jianyi's third point naturally aroused dissatisfaction among those who still had chips on their bodies, but this group was small in number and could not stir up any waves.

Therefore, Li Jianyi continued to explain without much pause:
"The fourth point! The points rules are still the same. Challenge the Wanxing Casino simulation project. Each time you clear a project, you will get corresponding points. 1 point for ordinary projects, 3 points for premium projects, and 5 points for transcendent projects!"

"Fifth point, every five points can be exchanged for an extraordinary chip! Every five points obtained, you must exchange the chips forcibly!"

"The sixth point is that yesterday's ranking is updated every day. The person with the highest points can challenge anyone with chips at will, no limit to the number of times! The person being challenged must also accept it!"

"Seventh point, if there is a need to form a team, there must be a maximum of six people and a minimum of three people. After forming a team, calculated based on the number of people, there must be a corresponding number of challenges every day! For example, a team of five people must accept challenges every day. Or take the initiative to challenge, and you have to accumulate five times, otherwise, 10 points will be deducted after midnight every day!"

"Eighth point, the event is over. If the team or individual is not the highest ranked team in the end and holds more chips than the limit, I will force them to take them back!"

"Last point, this event will last for two weeks, starting from the early morning of the day after tomorrow."

After hearing what Li Jianyi said, Li Xun was slightly surprised and said: "Such a complicated gameplay?"

Ruan Qiluo chuckled and said: "Actually, it's okay. We just need to pay attention to the points rules. Our focus is still on the simulation project of Wanxing Casino. As long as you clear more levels, the points will naturally be more."

Li Xun asked: "So, what is this challenge about? Is it a competition of abilities and a fight on the field? Or is it a challenge using the Wanxing Casino project?"

"It's all OK. The challenger has the initiative. He can choose to challenge through a competition of abilities, or he can choose to challenge in a simulated Bole project. As long as he wins once, he can get a chip from the other party."

Ruan Qiluo continued.

"In other words, if the same person has several chips, then winning once is not enough. You have to win several times?" Li Xun touched one and felt a little speechless.

"Of course, after all, Wanxing Casino has a variety of projects. It's not enough to rely on just one kind of project to win, because the Casino will limit the number of times an individual can participate in the project."

Ruan Qiluo said, showing a helpless expression and frowning slightly. Her expression at this moment was quite a bit like a classical lady.

A Ci actually had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask, but considering her personality, she didn't ask them after all.

After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help but whisper in Li Xun's ear: "Professor Sai, why did Ruan Qiluo look at you so tenderly just now?"

Li Xun laughed, hugged A Ci suddenly, gave her a smack on the cheek, then waved his hand and said domineeringly:
"It seems that this event is not a big problem for us. Whether it is challenging battles or customs clearance projects, they are my strengths!"

He also plays according to Sai Zanli's character, and at the same time, he also intends to gain dominance in a team of several people.

In the early stage of the event, you can use their knowledge of the fundraising activities to quickly clear the level and hit the rankings.

In the middle and later stages of the event, you will gain the right to speak and strive to benefit the most from the subsequent chip distribution.

When Ruan Qiluo heard this sentence, she also understood the subtext and knew that Sai Zanli had decided to join her team.

His eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled:

"Then welcome Professor Sai to join our team. I hope we can work together and win first place."

"Is the goal number one? Very good, I like your confidence. As for the distribution of chips, I believe that after the activities of the past few days, we will have a clear plan." Li Xun stretched out his hand to indicate that the cooperation has been initially established.

“Of course, for the detailed chip allocation, we can allocate it in proportion to the number of points each person contributes.

Of course, my suggestion is that after we finally enter the Wanxing Casino and win good things, we can distribute them again. It’s not too late. "

Ruan Qiluo said, and immediately stretched out her white and soft palms and held them with Li Xun.

……

After Li Jianyi's briefing session, Li Xun and A Ci came to Ruan Qiluo's independent office.

There, I learned about the potential value of extraordinary chips.

At this moment, Li Xun was holding a 20-centimeter-long bamboo stick with a strange look in his eyes: "Is this an extraordinary chip?"

To touch it, it seemed like nothing. It wasn't until Li Xun observed deeply with a picometer-level microscopic vision that he discovered something special.

"A whole chip is not only an extraordinary item, but also contains 0.1% of the extraordinary micro-quality.

Moreover, the structures are different from those of soul fire bugs and essence bugs. Does this different construction method determine the different functions they perform? "

Li Xun rubbed the extraordinary chips, thoughtfully.

Ruan Qiluo said: "Yes, this thing looks like an ordinary extraordinary item, but its hardness is stronger than super-forged Z-steel. I was quite surprised when I first got it."

"Have you never studied the mystery behind this?" Li Xun asked curiously.

According to the level of science and technology in this world, there should be means to assist microscopic observation. Logically speaking, it should not be difficult to discover the existence of extraordinary microparticles.

"I have researched it and found nothing." Ruan Qiluo shook his head.

Li Xun's heart moved slightly. Could it be that extraordinary micro-substances cannot be discovered using physical microscopic means?
Do you have to use extraordinary abilities to discover it?
After a little verification, he found that it was indeed the case.

"This chip is actually used in the same way as those in casinos. However, Wanxing Playground requires the use of extraordinary power. In other words, Wanxing Playground is a gaming field for people with abilities." Ruan Qiluo introduced.

"Is this a place for people with abilities to compete?" Li Xun found it more and more interesting.

The Star Alliance has a gaming field specifically for ability users. Is it purely for normal business operations, or is there another purpose?
While verifying it with probability, Li Xun asked: "Professor Ruan, I wonder if you can lend me this extraordinary chip for a day or two to study? I will return it before the fundraising activity begins."

"Of course." Ruan Qiluo agreed softly.In her opinion, this is not a big deal. Even if Sai Zanli secretly buys this thing, it will be taken back by the principal when the fundraising campaign starts, so it is not a big problem.

"In addition, I would also like to ask, do you have a catalog of the good things that can be won at Wanxing Casino?
I think Sister Luck has a lot of good things in her, but there should be something better, right?Otherwise, it always makes me feel like I am not worthy of my name. "

In Li Xun's opinion, if it were just a few extraordinary tools with special effects, or one or two primitive secret techniques, it shouldn't be able to mobilize so many extraordinary people's enthusiasm, right?

"Well, that's true. If I don't show Professor Sai what he can win with his chips, I'm afraid Professor Sai won't have much motivation at the critical moment."

Ruan Qiluo stood up gracefully, took out a very thick book from the bookshelf in the office, put it on the table, and motioned to Li Xun to read it.

Li Xun was quite surprised when he turned to the first page.

"Project Title: Skeuomorphism
Category: Boutique
Game mode: Aerial duel between phantoms of extraordinary power
Criteria for victory or defeat: The simulated object loses if it is destroyed
Explanation: Extraordinary power is intangible and qualityless. It requires the help of the ability core or the extraordinary secret skills to exert the ability.The question is, without secret skills or core, can one exert his abilities out of thin air?Facts have proved that skeuomorphic forms, if possessed of charm, can also exert strange abilities.

Reward for passing the level: A-level extraordinary instrument, imitation mold. Its function is to improve the accuracy of imitation of extraordinary power and to give certain special effects to the imitation of extraordinary power. "

"The extraordinary core of the Star Alliance people is equivalent to our divine fire seeds." At this time, Ruan Qiluo also explained in time.

Li Xun wondered: "This game project is designed to collect various quasi-object effects. It's a bit interesting."

Ruan Qiluo also explained:
"Anyway, we were at the Wanxing Casino at the time and saw the project description. In addition, there are two ways to play this project.

One is to compete with other extraordinary beings. The two choose a simulator mold, each inject their extraordinary power into it, and with the help of project equipment, complete the skeuomorphic shape, and then control the simulator to duel.

Another way is to refer to the mold to see the similarity of the object you created out of thin air. Only when the similarity is 99% can you complete the level and get points. "

Li Xun continued to look at the next page.

"Project Name: Forging Extraordinary Objects
Category: Boutique
Game mode: Counterfeiting the effects of supernatural objects
Criteria for winning or losing: If the forged supernatural object is damaged, it will be a loss.

Explanation: The original extraordinary items were produced in the extraordinary restricted area. They have their own characteristics and are popular among people, but the output is rare. Therefore, how to use unnatural means to mass-produce extraordinary items is also an eternal proposition.

Reward for passing the level: A-level extraordinary instrument, a furnace for refining fakes into real ones. Its function is to transform forged extraordinary items into real extraordinary items.Note that the higher the authenticity of the forged supernatural object, the higher the conversion success rate. "

At this time, Han Bingying also said:

"Forging extraordinary objects is the project with the highest winning rate for Bing Ning. In the past years, she also passed the level once.

The way to clear the level when not in a duel, she said, only requires a forged extraordinary object that is judged to be 99% realistic by the project equipment. "

Li Xun nodded and turned to the next page.

"Project Name: Extraordinary Evasion
Category: General
Game method: raindrop dodge rate competition
Criteria for victory or defeat: In the same scene and within the same time limit, compare the dodge rates of both sides in the opposite round, and the one with the lower value will lose.

Explanation: The reaction and mobility of the extraordinary are also very important, so go ahead and dodge. "

"Ordinary projects are really more ordinary, but the assessment items will be more original. If something works, it will work, and if it doesn't, it won't work. On the contrary, it is not as good as the boutique type, and there is room for tricks.

Reward for passing the level: a physical skill that improves the body's reaction, level C, electromagnetic neural network. Its function is to increase the running speed of the neural network. The improvement rate depends on the user's physical fitness. The stronger the physical fitness, the faster the reaction speed. . "

Han Bingying is obviously very familiar with this project, and her comments are clear and logical.

"Of course, in our current fund-raising activities, we do not get such rewards for clearance. We now use our imitation equipment to simulate these projects. Therefore, the rewards are points that can be exchanged for extraordinary chips."

Ruan Qiluo said.

Li Xun flipped through several more pages and saw all kinds of strange and weird projects.

For example, you need to find the only female ant among a bunch of ants.

There are also those that need to compete in physical strength. They use hydraulic equipment to press the body. If it exceeds a certain limit, you can pass the level.

There is also a need to find a regular melody from a bunch of chaotic notes.

Wait, there are all kinds, each has clearance and duel modes, and the reward items are also different.

Li Xun even saw a reward for an S-level original secret skill in a transcendent project.

“Project: Merciless Bullets and Merciful Targets

Category: Transcendence
Game mode: Shooting time duel

Criteria for winning or losing: The gun provided by the project equipment must be fired so that the bullet hits the bull's-eye of the target in the latest time. Whoever hits the bull's-eye early will lose. If the winner fails to hit the bull's-eye later, it will be a draw.
Note: This duel method hides the core of a certain mysterious ability. Please feel it with your heart.

Reward for passing the level: S-level original secret skill, speed of thought, basic function of the secret skill, accelerating or decelerating the speed of any creature's thought.For advanced functions, please develop it yourself. "

"This is interesting. Has anyone in the academy ever received this award?" Li Xun asked.

Seeing this, Li Xun also confirmed it.

Why do so many people in Guangyao Academy master all kinds of secret skills? There are many different types of extraordinary tools, most of which come from Wanxing Playground.

Ruan Qiluo shook his head and said:

"The ones currently recorded in this booklet are all Bole projects that our school has participated in, but has not received any clearance rewards. Therefore, no one of us has the S-level secret skills recorded here."

Li Xun was still holding A Ci's shoulders at this moment. He thought for a while and then said:

"No one can pass so many events. It seems that the events at Wanxing Casino are not simple. So, if you win the duel, can you get the opponent's extraordinary items or other extraordinary chips? "

"Yes, Professor Sai has a very clear idea. In fact, another reason why our school has achieved good results over the years is that we know how to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and gave up the method of clearing levels to get rewards, and chose to invite people from the Star Alliance for a duel."

Ruan Qiluo said, chuckled, and continued:
"So, the reason why Bingying and Bingning can win so much is actually not because of their ability to clear the level as rumored by the outside world, but because they rely on their ability to win more good things while defeating the Star Alliance people."

At this moment, Huo Bingying said helplessly:
"Actually, some people really believe that my ability can affect the project equipment of the Bole Field. In fact, Bing Ning's and I's abilities only have a great effect when they are activated on people."

……

Half a day later, Li Xun and A Ci returned to the hotel where they had stayed temporarily.

Of course, after leaving the school for a while, the two of them entered an unmonitored alley and changed their new appearance.

Later, Li Xun used soil to escape to the hotel.

After this understanding, he finally understood the power of Wanxing Casino.

No one knows where the Wanxing Casino is actually located. In fact, it is a virtual space.

Extraordinary chips, in addition to being used as bets in Bole projects, are also the entry keys.

Possessing any extraordinary chip does not require any other equipment. As long as the extraordinary power is input into it and activated, the person's thoughts can be carried into this virtual Wanxing Casino.

The whole process is amazing.

However, due to problems with the position of the earth and the direction of its revolution, there are only two months in a year when extraordinary chips can be used to connect to the Wanxing Casino.

Other times, no matter how much extraordinary power is input, it will not help.

In addition, the extraordinary chips themselves also have restrictions. For example, one chip can only participate in a maximum of ten Bole projects on the same day.

When the tenth game is played, it will be taken back by the casino and will not be returned.

As for Guangyao University, it spends a huge sum of money every year to purchase a batch of extraordinary chips for the year's fundraising activities.

Of course, although this fund is huge, it is insignificant compared to the various harvests every year.

At this moment, Li Xun fumbled for this extraordinary bargaining chip, and with a thought, he consumed extraordinary power and forcibly entered the picometer-level microscopic field of vision.

That's right, not 10 picometers, but serious picometers.

The surface structure of the extraordinary micro-particles of extraordinary chips is different from that of soul fire insects, so it is of great research value.

Soon, Li Xun had some realization:
"It turns out that every bit of extraordinary micro-substance will have different effects if it is attached in a different position and in a different way.

If I can peel off the extraordinary microparticles from the essence worm, I can imitate the attachment and structure of the extraordinary chips. In this way, I can enter and leave the Wanxing Bo Casino by myself without passing through the extraordinary chips. "

This idea can be regarded as a flash of inspiration, and normally speaking, it is relatively rare.

Moreover, the key is that he also tested the probability and found that this is indeed a feasible operation, but for now, it requires a lot of effort.

Of course, it is not easy for him to directly operate and peel off the extraordinary micro-quality of this chip now, lest it will not be able to function and cannot be explained clearly.

So, he escaped, sneaked into the basement, and tried again to peel off the extraordinary microparticles in the cells of the essence worm.

"If I can peel off some extraordinary micro-essence from the essence worm, I will give it a try and see if I can ignore the permissions of the Wanxing Casino and enter and leave it freely."

……

The day passed quickly.

Before meeting up with Ruan Qiluo, the Good Luck Sisters and others, Zhao Shuo brought news about Professor Yuan Tingzhi.

Yes, it was Yuan Tingzhi who studied divinity and wrote the book The Mystery of Divinity, who was confirmed to be dead.

At this moment, Zhao Shuo said with a serious face: "Master Li, Professor Yuan Tingzhi, it is said that the truth of the death is confusing, and now, there are still people staring at the person who mentioned this name!

Fortunately, I knew the opportunity quickly and left quickly, otherwise I might have caught up with him.

It should have been ten years since Yuan Tingzhi died, right?But there are still two people watching the sentry, which shows that the interests behind it are very deep, and it is not appropriate for us to take any action related to this now. "

As he spoke, Zhao Shuo also reminded Li Xun, fearing that he would accidentally go deep into it and be sucked into the whirlpool.

Li Xun nodded and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhao. Since the stakes behind this matter are very deep, don't get too involved in this matter for the time being. Help me summarize the surrounding economic situation, industrial chain, and important figures, and give it to me later. ,it works."

Zhao Shuo then took the order and left.

On the other side, Aci also reported the intelligence detected today to Li Xun.

Among them, Aci focused on the gossip of the residents around Guangyao Academy. One of them was quite unusual.

A Ci said: "There is a deaf man who talks to himself very loudly when no one is around. His duty there seems to be specifically to deal with the reservations of interstellar stowaways, and he reports them every day."

Li Xun said in surprise: "If that's the case, then that place is a stronghold for stowaways. But, why were you discovered here so easily?"

"I also find it strange. Maybe he is really hidden and I just happened to do it?" A Ci said.

Li Xun touched A Ci's head, quickly verified it, and then nodded slightly and said: "I see, he did it for you to find out on purpose."
