Forces of Temptation

Due to the excessive emotional ups and downs, the color of Dai Xuelin's neck was red.

Just because Nan Zhou didn't agree to the gamble at the first time, in just a few moments, he experienced the burning feeling over and over again, his palms and throat were itchy, and he wished he could grab Nan Zhou and kill him immediately. Take back everything you lost from him.

He also realized that his emotions seemed more irritable and uncontrollable than when he was frustrated.

But if they are allowed to procrastinate like this——

A soft and cold hand rested on his shoulder: "...Lin."

Dai Xuelin turned his face and saw his elder brother's pale fingertips due to excessive force, and the circles of his eyes were even more red.

He endured it, suppressing the malice and urgency welling up in his heart.

He thought, this is a bet on their limbs, and it is indeed worth being cautious, no matter how cautious.

Who would have thought that Dai Xuebin and his thinking direction are not on the same line at all.

On the one hand, whether to gamble or not to gamble, the initiative is indeed in the hands of Nanzhou and the others, and if they force it further, it will not benefit them at all.

On the one hand, Dai Xuebin was frightened.

In the big and small bets, he just made a small decision and overdrawn all the points they had accumulated until the game started.

The gap between before and after was too great, which made him fully aware of the horror of gambling.

Compared with his younger brother's vigorous fighting spirit, the desire to retreat has risen in his heart.

But they had no way out.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to think it over again.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to avoid the war.

However, the Dai brothers all temporarily chose to die down.

After reaching an agreement to fight again tomorrow, Nanzhou sat down on the middle one of the three machines.

Li Yinhang doesn't know much about coin pushers, and he has seen people win a lot of tokens on them. Although he doesn't have much confidence in his heart, he doesn't want to panic. He is just worried about Nan Zhou's health: "Mr. Nan, remember to come back after the research." Ah, I'll leave the door open for you."

Nan Zhou: "Yes."

Jiang Fang didn't express any opinion, walked briskly to his side, leaned over and whispered to him.

The words were very soft and fast, completely in the mood and rhythm of a love story.

"Don't be brave." Jiang Fang touched his knee with his warm palm, "If you can't find a way, come back."

After capturing this sentence at close range, Gaowei, who was already in a depressed mood, was refreshed.

Can get Jiang Fang's evaluation and certification, which means that they really have no chance of winning on this coin pusher?

While Nan Zhou nodded, he raised his head and asked Jiang Fang, "Is there anything to eat?"

His eyes are pure and direct, like a house cat asking for canned cat food confidently.

Jiang Fang took a few desserts stored in the warehouse, put them in his hand, leaned over, and openly and gentlemanly kissed the corner of his mouth: "Good night."

Nan Zhou replied earnestly: "Good night."

The Dai brothers were anxious and didn't care about their flirting at all.

Li Yinhang had been watching their intimate interaction for a long time, so he was not surprised.

As for Yuan Mingqing, he still looked dead alive, as if the game had nothing to do with him, but he clenched his hands behind his back unconsciously, as if he was worried about something.

Only Qu Jinsha frowned subtly when he saw this scene.

Everyone had their own thoughts and agreed to start gambling at 8:[-] tomorrow morning, and then they left the hall.

As soon as he returned to the room, Dai Xuelin couldn't wait to ask Qu Jinsha: "What is our winning percentage?"

Qu Jinsha said: "0."

Qu Jinsha added: "Because he wouldn't choose that machine at all."

Normally, with Nanzhou's level of mind, he doesn't even need to invest the [-] points to try.

As long as you try it a few times, it is not difficult to find that the so-called coin pusher is a standard four-legged gold-swallowing beast.

First of all, and most importantly, the probability of shaking out a good pattern is controllable.

The probability that the three machines can shake the clown pattern is generally low.

One of them accumulates the most chips and has the lowest probability of rolling a clown, only 2.2%. It is exactly in a range where it can occasionally roll a clown, but wants to have all three, unless the luck is extraordinary.

Secondly, the movement of the coin pusher to push coins forward is also infinitely mysterious.

In the center of the push plate, there is a slightly raised triangular metal plate that does not seem to affect the overall situation.

The board diverts the falling chips, allowing the chips to slide forward along the two hypotenuses of the triangle.

This seems to be more concentrated, but there are two invisible holes on both sides of the push plate, which secretly "swallowed" many coins.

In this way, while dispersing the strength, while quietly eating coins, there are actually very few chips left in the players' hands.

Finally, the metal plate of the coin outlet is specially designed, and it is actually slightly tilted.

Even if the coins reach the coin outlet, it will form the most common scene in the video game city, that is, one coin is stacked on the edge. In fact, the bottom one is completely crushed to death and cannot be moved at all.

In this way, the whereabouts of the chips can be locked to the greatest extent, and visual stimulation can also be created, which makes people feel that "they will almost fall down", so that they keep inserting coins and fall into an invisible death trap.

The superposition of these triple insurances constitutes the real secret of the coin pusher's invincibility.

Although he knew all the details, Qu Jinsha did not tell the two in detail.

Anyway, for the two young masters, knowing that "the probability is completely controllable" is enough to make them believe in the so-called "certain victory".

However, in order to prevent Dai Xuelin's hopes from being dashed and going crazy on the spot, Qu Jinsha still added:

"Of course, there is another possibility."

"If he loses all 10000 points tonight, he will probably be on top."

This kind of fishing with a little sweetness can quickly become addicted, which is the toxicity of gambling itself.

Dai Xuebin questioned this: "...will it be?"

Qu Jinsha shrugged and asked back, "You know about the Sina gold box..."

Dai Xuelin interrupted him irritably: "No matter what kind of box it is, in order to avoid accidents, you have to think of a way!"

Qu Jinsha smiled: "...Okay, I'll think of a way."

Thinking about it with his toes, Dai Xuelin's so-called method is to let Qu Jinsha focus on Nanzhou, adjust the probability of all the machines while he is away, first induce him to win a little more, and then switch back before the official game starts.

Qu Jinsha agreed, left the room, and returned to the hall.

...He has no intention of approaching Nanzhou, nor does he intend to modify the data at all.

Among the three machines, the lowest probability of shaking a clown is 2.2%, and the highest is only 4.2%.

If you continue to adjust it, it will be unscientific, and only fools will continue to play.

What's more, if you want to adjust the probability, you can only modify it on the machine itself.

Nan Zhou is still sitting there now, he is crazy to ask for trouble.

This is also a good thing.

Even if the Dai brothers were really staring at him from behind, trying to force him to adjust the data, if Nan Zhou didn't leave the hall, they would have nothing to say about his sabotage.

After all, Qu Jinsha just wanted to get out of the room to get some air.

Among the three machines, Nan Zhou was sitting on the No. 2 machine, which happened to be the one with the lowest probability.

He exchanged 1000 blue chips and sent them to the coin outlet one by one, acting very cautiously.

The flashing lights of the game seemed to have tipped a whole palette of colorful colors on him, splashing him into a colorful look.

Qu Jinsha still had a smile on his face, but he watched with cold eyes in his heart.

He likes the casino not only because it can bring him huge profits, but also because it is a huge vortex that sucks in money and human nature, and he can stand on the edge of the vortex and watch people jump into it one by one , I don't stain my body, don't stain my hands.

It's a wonderful feeling.

And the speed of developing a gambler is often unbelievably fast.

Unless it is a person without desire, or a person who can quickly cut off desire and has strong self-control ability.

But these two kinds of people are quite rare, almost nonexistent saints.

In the face of the huge benefits that can be exchanged in an instant through gambling, everyone has different thoughts, purposes, and ideas, but the same thing is that they are all bewitched by the huge cheese, willing to climb on the sticky mouse board and wait for death Shuoshu.

It's just that when his eyes rested on Nan Zhou, he inevitably froze for a moment.

This paper figurine who came out of the book can walk, jump, and think. I don't know if he can get out of the mud without being stained, or let you be stained?

He quietly stepped on the soft carpet and came to the wine cabinet. Just as he was about to pour himself a good glass of wine, he heard a cold voice from behind his head: "Hello."

Qu Jinsha shivered in fright: "Oh my god."

Nan Zhou was holding an empty plate, like a beautiful pale ghost, standing by the dining table a few steps away from him: "I'll get dessert."

Qu Jinsha let out a sigh of relief.

Anyway, in the casino, NPCs work part-time day and night, no matter how good Nan Zhou is, it is impossible to kill him here.

It was him who made all the fuss.

Seeing Nan Zhou neatly arrange the strawberry cakes on the plate one by one like mahjong, Qu Jinsha intends to sound out his tone.

He asked, "Is it fun?"

Nan Zhou said: "I tested it just now. The coins inside are not magnetic."

"...The chip is not made of metal." Qu Jinsha felt amused, "It is useless to use a magnet."

Nan Zhou: "It can't be shaken either."

Qu Jinsha had an interesting conversation with him: "Kick and shake the machine, and the machine will call the police. And this is also a violation of the rules of the casino. Once discovered, you will be asked to go out."

"Oh." Nan Zhou said seriously, "That's a pity. I wanted to try it."

At this time, the high-dimensional people were also watching the interaction between the two.

"...zoom in a little closer and see what they're talking about."

A line of garnet-colored wine poured into the glass.

Qu Jinsha took a sip of the pomegranate wine, and sighed "ha" under the slight stimulation of the alcohol.

Nanzhou started to make the second layer of cake, and at the same time lowered his eyes and asked Qu Jinsha: "Why do you want to run a casino?"

Qu Jinsha thought about it.

He wanted to say some lofty reasons.

For example, to give these desperate people a little spiritual anesthetic, for example, he climbed to the top of the single chart by this, that's the reason, and so on.

But he still told the truth.

"I used to be the manager of an underground casino." Qu Jinsha said, "I know nothing but this."

Nan Zhou nodded: "Yes, I can understand."

Qu Jinsha looked at Nan Zhou with even more interest: "You are the first to say that I can understand..."

Having said that, he got stuck.

He also seems unable to say that Nanzhou is a "person".

Nan Zhou turned around, walked towards the machine, and said at the same time: "Because this is your way of survival, of course it is understandable. Of course, it is okay to be robbed of all your money while taking this way." something to understand."

Qu Jinsha frankly agreed with Nanzhou's statement: "That's right."

Holding the wine glass, he followed Nanzhou back to the machine.

The coin thrown by Nanzhou and the swing arm swinging left and right missed.

Nanzhou invested another one.

After passing through the steel ball array, the chips fell through again.

Qu Jinsha wanted to give him some advice, for example, he had to drop dozens of coins at the same time to increase the odds.

But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again.

After enjoying three sips of wine comfortably, Qu Jinsha also relaxed physically and mentally.

He got a rare peace for two days.

Because he was in a happy mood, his curiosity also swelled: "Mr. Nan, I want to ask you a personal question."

Nan Zhou watched the chips bouncing back and forth between the steel ball formations, and the ending sound rose slightly: "Huh?"

Qu Jinsha asked, "How did you and Jiang Fang meet?"

Nanzhou's hand shaking the joystick paused slightly.

"I'm not saying that I know Jiang Fang well." Qu Jinsha spread his hands, "But I have dealt with people like Jiang Fang. They can make good relationships with many people, but they will never talk about their sincerity. .”

"So I'm curious, what happened between you two? Can someone like him..."

Qu Jinsha found that he still couldn't make a clear definition of Nanzhou's identity.

Saying this can only be an offense.

Because for a purely rational person like Jiang Fang, who cares about gains and losses to the utmost, falling in love with someone from a different world is as ridiculous and absurd as madness.

Nan Zhou fell silent.

Qu Jinsha: "Is it convenient to disclose?"

This time, Nanzhou's chip fell into the groove of the rocker arm, and got a chance to pull the rocker round.

The shadows of clowns and fruits flickered in his eyes.

"……yes."

"why."

...After one round, what appeared in front of Nan Zhou was a grape, a watermelon, and an apple.

No rewards were obtained.

Qu Jinsha thought that Nan Zhou didn't want to talk to him in detail, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so he shook his wine glass with a smile: "Okay, I know I offended you. Well, let me tell you a story to offset my Mistake, okay?"

Nan Zhou: "Say it."

Qu Jinsha: "Have you heard of the Skinner box?"

Nan Zhou: "...Huh?"

He read it in a book in his private library.

That was a psychological experiment.

To put it simply, it is to put a small white mouse into a box, and then give it a mechanism.

At the beginning, as long as the mouse pressed the switch, the experimenter would feed it food.

Later, the experimenters modified the feeding method.

After the mouse presses the button, the experimenter will randomly feed it food. Even if it presses hard 10 times, it may only get a little food.

But the facts proved that when this mechanism started to work, the mice not only did not reduce the frequency of pressing the organ, but their dependence on the organ was greatly increased, and the frequency of pressing was also greatly increased.

Thinking of this, Nan Zhou's movement of operating the joystick slowed down a little.

If he didn't feel wrong, Qu Jinsha seemed to be reminding him not to be that guinea pig manipulated by the agency.

... He was persuading himself to stay away from this troublesome coin pusher.

But after sensing this little kindness, he raised his head and politely said to Qu Jinsha: "I'm sorry, I don't know, and I'm not interested either."

Because he sensed that in a corner not far away, Dai Xuelin was standing quietly in the shadows, watching them bow their heads and talk.

Qu Jinsha didn't seem to be interested in explaining in depth, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Then I wish you a good time."

Not far away, Dai Xuelin's figure flickered and disappeared into the shadows.

……

In the early hours of the morning, Yuan Mingqing was sitting by the bed, his clothes neatly dressed, his expression gloomy, and he had no intention of falling asleep at all.

He looked at the clock frequently, and after fidgeting for a while, he turned his head and asked Li Yinhang, "Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Li Yinhang covered Nan Jixing sleeping beside his pillow with a small handkerchief: "What are you waiting for him?"

Yuan Mingqing was very disturbed: "He wouldn't choose that coin pusher, would he?"

Li Yinhang: "Why not?"

Yuan Mingqing: "He shouldn't."

Li Yinhang: "...Why shouldn't he?"

Yuan, Ming and Qing were different from those two idiots in that they knew how to use their brains.

He knew that such a machine would necessarily have odds set by the casino.

Yuan Mingqing didn't want to see their hard-won advantages being ruined by Nan Zhou for nothing.

He had just blocked his retreat in front of the Dai brothers, if Nanzhou sent the head, and then pulled back the gap, or even suffered a disastrous defeat, what would he do?

But Li Yinhang couldn't understand his anxiety.

She smiled and said, "It's very worry-free to be a teammate with the boss, don't worry about unnecessary things, go to bed early."

She pointed to the bed next to her.

Jiang Fang was already fast asleep, and his figure rose and fell slightly with his breathing.

She took this as irrefutable evidence: "Look, Brother Fang is not worried."

Yuan Mingqing: "..."

He couldn't understand Li Yinhang's inexplicable trust in others.

Just because he couldn't understand, like the Dai brothers, he couldn't sleep peacefully all night.

At 8:00 in the morning before the official opening of the casino, a group of people came to the lobby one after another.

Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang had enough energy.

After drinking, Qu Jinsha went back and briefly explained that Nanzhou was still playing games and couldn't change the data, and then fell asleep with a peaceful mind.

Yuan Mingqing lowered his eyebrows, but he didn't seem to be in a bad mood.

In contrast, although the Dai brothers were well-dressed and wore perfume, they had a terrible look on their faces, just like a broken rag that had been soaked in overnight milk and then balled up and ravaged.

As for Nanzhou...

He sat in front of No. 2 machine without a trace, like a jade man made of light, no matter how the light in front of his eyes flickered, he couldn't mix into his light and make the slightest flaw.

Dai Xuebin and Lin approached, and saw that all the chips in his hand happened to be exhausted, his hands were empty, and he lost all of them.

While the two brothers looked at each other, a hint of joy mixed with uneasiness sprouted in their hearts.

Dai Xuebin cleared his throat and stepped forward: "Have you made your choice?"

"Yes, I have almost understood it." Nan Zhou said, "Let's bet on this."

Yuan Mingqing's throat choked and he almost cried out.

However, before the joy in the hearts of the two brothers expanded, Nan Zhou raised his hand again: "...But, I have one condition."

"This game, I want both of us to participate."

Nanzhou said: "The time ends at 12:5 tonight, and the game lasts for [-] hours. The winner will be calculated based on the number of chips that fall out of the machine. The person who wins less will have to pay back the opponent's total investment amount." [-] times."

"...How about it, do you want to gamble?"
