Manhattan Reborn 1978

Princeton University, Flint Library.

David took the paper and wiped his hands.

It just ate the lunch prepared by its mother, which was a sandwich and a small fruit and vegetable salad.

Clear your desk and throw away the trash.

He picked up his school bag and books, went to the third floor, found a place, and prepared to read while waiting for Nash.

Hope you have good luck and meet him today.

After another period of time.

A man wearing a plaid shirt walked in carrying an old briefcase.

Beside him, there was a graceful middle-aged beauty who took his arm and sent him to the southwest corner of the third floor, next to the small table by the window.

After the man sat down, the middle-aged beauty bent down to help him straighten his shirt, gave him a few careful instructions, then turned to say goodbye and left.

David could clearly see that the middle-aged beauty was Nash's wife, Alicia Nash, played by actress Jennifer Connelly.

The middle-aged man was the person he was waiting for, John Nash.

The two were not far away, and David had vaguely heard their conversation just now.

He calculated how to strike up a conversation later so as not to arouse Nash's resentment.

amount. .

David arranged the books and put them aside.

He opened the notebook and tapped the table with his fingers, ready to think of a good idea to deal with Nash.

Ok.

David knew most of Nash's life trajectory, as well as his character and illness.

Because Nash and his wife are both the protagonists of the plot in "Life is Beautiful".

So. . .

system!

There are points for changing the life and destiny of the characters in the plot. Can we start from this aspect?

Ok.

Now it's time to bring out the dog system!

He opened the system interface.

System user: David Coleman (David Jiang)

Age: 21 years old

Physical condition: good

skill:

Bartending: LV.2 (entry level)

Skilled cleaner: LV.3 (faster when doing cleaning work)

Proficient languages: Chinese, English, Italian

Points: 72 points

Achievement points: 0 points

Points lottery (insufficient points, temporarily unavailable)

Charisma: 2 (try to communicate with people more, the more friends you have, the stronger your charm will be)

Branch skills:

Persuader (passive): When communicating with others, if you have already gained initial recognition from others.When you are sincere and try to persuade others to agree with you, your views, opinions, and suggestions are more likely to be accepted and adopted. (This skill is affected by the charm attribute, and each point increases the success rate by 10%)

skill:

Exploration (active): The host can consume points to activate skills to understand a target's favorability towards the host.Each exploration costs 10 points.

Note: In some special circumstances, probing may not detect favorability.

Item: Charlie's watch (Charisma +1)

Opportunity mission completed.

Get a random reward: Jerry's ring

thing:

Jerry's ring: Jerry, the tycoon, once carried it all over the world. (Charm +2)

The origin of the ring has been updated: a gift from Sierra Flower Coleman’s father to his grandson.

Whoops!

The dog system explodes equipment again!

David reached into his pocket and took out a gold ring.

It has complicated patterns on it, and there is an emerald half the size of a fingernail on the ring.

David smacked his lips and tried it on his finger.

It is only suitable to wear it on the two middle fingers, so put it on the middle finger of your right hand.

He looked at the emerald on the ring and felt a little uncomfortable. This meant he had to bring a little green into his life!

Dog system!

True grandson!

but. .

Charm +2 is quite nice.

He glanced at the system interface again.

Points: 72 points

Charisma: 4

David looked at the Charisma branch skill again: Persuader (passive).

There is also the skill, Exploration (active).

I have some plans in mind.

He looked at Nash first and gave this guy a probe!

-10 points

John Nash: Favorability? ? ?

just now.

Points: 62

haha~

System skills cannot understand the brain circuits of mental patients.

He couldn't help but laugh.

If the system could complain, it would have drool all over David's face by now.

If it can move.

I will definitely jump on my feet and scold him: Sun thief!

Ha ha! ~

In the days when David first obtained the system, he really jumped up and down for points and struggled hard for a while.

Well now.

The dog system is really too doggy!

David is a real dog but it.

That's it!

He had slowly accustomed himself to ignoring its existence.

Today, when I met John Nash, a familiar film and television character, I remembered the system.

Gee!

David looked at the remaining points and prepared to use them on Nash later when he found an opportunity.

It can be regarded as an expensive experiment.

First, let’s see what effects doubling the charm will bring.

Is it doubled?

Or a super double?

Secondly, we need to see how effective the exploration is and to what extent it can be achieved.

Ok.

The plan has been completed.

The following is a matter of finding a suitable reason and some topics that interest Nash.

David wrote down the problems he could think of in his notebook.

After a while, he looked at the various difficult knowledge points on the page and nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at Nash, who was burying his head on the table in the distance, and brewed his emotions.

David packed up everything, hugged a pile of books, and walked to the small table where Nash was.

At this time, sunlight was shining through the window next to Nash.

David greeted him politely: "Hello, Professor Nash, I am David Coleman who lives in the nearby town of Morrison. I have some questions in mathematics that I don't understand and I want to ask you for help. "

When Nash heard David's voice, he did not immediately raise his head, but paused the pen in his hand.

It leaves a small smear of ink on the paper.

He slowly raised his head, his face expressionless, his eyes calm, and his voice was raw and hoarse as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Hello David! What's the problem?"

David looked at Russell Crowe's face in front of him and sighed in his heart, even if he is a psychopath, Nash is still a handsome x psychopath!

This middle-aged uncle with a slightly haggard face must be 50 years old, right?

He looks younger than David Sr.

The appearance is really better as you get older!

He sat opposite Nash, put his backpack at his feet, and put the books on top of the backpack.

He opened the prepared notebook and tore out the sheet of questions he had prepared.

Nash took the paper handed over by David and read it again.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at David across from him, took out a few pieces of white paper from the file bag next to him, and unfolded them in front of the two of them.

Then he compared the problems on the paper, explained them to David in a low voice one by one, and wrote down the process of solving the problems on the paper.

David listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show that he understood.

He secretly observed Nash across from him. The old man's explanation was clear and easy to understand. He used the most basic knowledge to answer David's questions from simple to profound.

Is he already well?

wrong.

He should have now found a way to defeat the disease and achieved initial victory, right?

Otherwise, it would be impossible to communicate with others normally.

amount. .

David seems to have overlooked another big problem!

The person sitting opposite him is a former mathematics genius and now a mathematics professor!

These questions are all difficult points in undergraduate studies. For Nash, they are too simple!

He just has mental illness, it’s not like his IQ is below the horizon!

These are very difficult questions for David to answer, but for Nash, are they a piece of cake?It doesn’t even count.

Ten minutes later, David's questions were all answered.

David found a few more key points and asked again.

Nash answered these questions patiently.

Afterwards, David thanked Nash with a smile, and felt another probing about Nash in his heart.

-10 points.

John Nash:? ? ?

this. . .

System skills are deflated!

Did old man Nash turn out to be a mysterious mathematician?

Does he have a world living in his head?

David maintained his expression and started chatting with Nash according to his next plan.

He took out the books in his arms, the top one.

"Professor Nash, when I was reading "The Wealth of Nations", I became very interested in the theory of the invisible hand."

"But I read some books on game theory and found that they are contradictory in some theoretical explanations. I wonder if you can answer it for me? For example, this is a contradictory statement about the prisoner's dilemma."

Nash took a piece of information handed over by David and looked up at the boy in front of him seriously.

"Are you a student here?"

"No, sir. I live in the small town of Morrison. I went to New York to work after I graduated from high school. Looking at this now, it is purely because I like this knowledge."

Nash nodded, he often meets all kinds of people here.

He didn't care about this: "The prisoner's dilemma you mentioned is the same as the smart pig game I originally proposed. They are both relatively representative problems in game theory research."

"Let's first talk about it. In a non-cooperative game, the optimal strategy chosen by each person does not lead to the optimization of the overall strategy of these people."

"The invisible hand theory believes that since everyone makes rational choices based on maximizing personal interests, social interests can be maximized."

David nodded. This was something he didn't understand when he was looking at the information room just now.

Nash had a smile on his face: "Actually, that's not the case!"

"For the two prisoners in the prisoner's dilemma, it is not the best choice for both of them to confess. However, for the third party that did not participate in the game, the police, they gained the greatest achievement because of the successful confession of the two."

"In addition, in real life, both parties in the game can maximize their interests by sharing information."

"The two prisoners have every right to hire a lawyer to convey some information to them, so as to achieve the ideal result of both remaining silent and being sentenced to only one year in prison."

"Non-cooperative games mainly emphasize one person's independent decision-making, regardless of other people in the strategic environment. It contains both conflict elements and cooperation elements, that is, conflict and cooperation overlap."

"The invisible hand considers the overall interests, that is, the situation that is considered by all parties in the game and non-game parties."

When Nash said this, he continued to talk about his theory of Nash equilibrium and some theories in "The Wealth of Nations" on another piece of paper. It seems that they are contradictory, but in fact they are interoperable or different on another level. !

David listened and thought about Nash's explanation.
