Chapter 65: The Game of Luck

The Jiuxing Division played a big game and guided Ye Feng step by step to join the Jiuxing Division. The purpose was to make Ye Feng the Jiuxing Division's spy in Nantang.

Moreover, the reason behind this incident seems to be related to the demon clan.

"What do you need me to do?"

Faced with Ye Feng's question, Han Nian did not tell him the answer directly. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "The specific details of the task depend on your ability."

"My ability?" This sentence made Ye Feng a little puzzled.

Han Nian nodded: "Every member of the Nine Stars Division must take an exam. Based on the results of the exam, the person's ability will be determined. Those with outstanding abilities will naturally need to do some important things."

This time, Ye Feng understood clearly that it was just an entrance exam, rated as excellent or average. Excellent people will receive more resources, and subsequent promotions and salary increases will be easier.

"No problem, how about the exam?"

"There are four levels in the exam, namely 'Luck', 'Wisdom', 'Martial Arts', and 'Tao'. Since you only have the second level of Yao Ming Realm and you are a special recruit, you don't need to take the 'Martial Arts' test. You only need to take the other tests."

The three levels are enough.”

After saying that, Ye Feng followed Han Nian and left the interrogation room, passed through a door, stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the Huanxing Pavilion.

Now it seems that compared to the gate on the white jade steps, this is the main entrance of Huanxing Pavilion.

Arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Ye Feng saw a huge nine-star plaque with gold characters on a black background. Under the plaque, there was a pair of gold characters:

"Everything is difficult to achieve, things are incompatible, and you are in a high official position and live in a wide place. If you don't have the virtue of order, you will suffer the consequences."

The superficial meaning is: things cannot go well everywhere. If you are in a high position and live in a mansion, if you are not virtuous, you will definitely suffer disaster.

The twenty-four words are concise, clear, and easy to understand, but the deep meaning behind them is terrifying.

Because this sentence, on the surface, is a warning and a warning, but in fact it is a deterrent and a bottom line, and it also describes the situation of Jiuxingsi.

The Jiu Xing Division is an imperial department with huge power and a very important position. If the Jiu Xing Division does not have good moral character and cannot serve the emperor, it will definitely suffer disaster.

"This is written by Song Gong himself when the Jiuxing Division was founded, and is used for all Jiuxing Divisions to self-reflect." Han Nian explained calmly, without pausing too much in front of the golden characters.

It seems that this Song Gong should be the commander-in-chief of Jiuxing Division.

Han Nian brought Ye Feng to a door: "You have to avoid suspicion during the assessment. As your boss, I can't accompany you in. Go in by yourself. There will be someone behind the door to pick you up. When you finish the exam, I will wait at the exit.

you."

"do not let me down."

After saying that, Han Nian turned and left.

Immediately afterwards, the door in front of Ye Feng suddenly opened, revealing a room that was not spacious.

As soon as he walked in, Ye Feng met an acquaintance - the gold medal who had just interrogated him.

"Sir." Ye Feng said respectfully and cupped his hands.

Although he is not his direct boss, as a gold medalist, he is also an executive of Jiuxing Company.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ji Shaoyang. I am a one-star gold medalist from the Nine Stars Division." The gold medalist introduced himself.

"Master Ji." Ye Feng raised his hand again and shouted with great respect.

Then, Ye Feng raised his eyes slightly and asked weakly: "Excuse me...how many gold medals does the Jiuxing Division have in total?"

"There are currently nine gold medals in the Nine-Star Division, and they are all one-star gold medals."

"Are they all one-star? Are there no two-star or three-star ones?" Ye Feng asked subconsciously.

I don't know if this sentence offended Ji Shaoyang. He squinted his eyes and glanced at Ye Feng: "The first level is called 'luck', which is luck. Look at your luck. After all, there are many things, not only

Strength and a little bit of luck are needed to succeed."

Ye Feng agreed with Ji Shaoyang's view and then asked: "How to take the exam?"

"Guess the coin."

Ji Shaoyang said "Hey" and suddenly showed a shy smile on his face.

It's just that this kind of smile feels very inconsistent with his strong figure.

greasy.

nausea.

Then, Ji Shaoyang walked to a square table, sat down, and took out a coin from his pocket.

"The gameplay is very simple. I flip a coin to determine the outcome. If it's heads, you win. If it's tails, you lose. There are ten rounds of betting in total. The eight gold plates in front of you are your chips. The bet for each round is

Half of your chips. If you win the first game, I will give you four gold plates, so you have twelve. If you win the second game, I will lose you six gold plates. And so on,

After ten rounds, if you have more chips than you do now, you win, otherwise, I win."

Ye Feng understood the rules, but still wanted to ask for details: "If I lose when I only have one gold plate left, how much should I give you?"

"I like rigorous young people." Ji Shaoyang smiled and said: "One gold plate is equal to ten silver plates, and one silver plate is equal to ten copper plates. Don't worry, this is an absolutely fair game."

This game sounds indeed fair, and the coin only has two sides, pros and cons. From a probability perspective, both sides have a 50% probability.

But this is just a probability. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to get ten heads in a row.

Moreover, is this really a game of luck? As an imperial department, would Jiuxingsi believe in such a thing as luck?

Also, I always felt that Ji Shaoyang's smile contained evil intentions.

As a psychology expert, Ye Feng quickly discovered the logical trap in this fair game.

Although the bet in each round sounds like half, if you lose a round, the situation will be 8/2=4, and then if you win another round, the situation will be 4/2*3=6.

On the contrary, if you win first, it will be 8/2*3=12, and if you lose next, it will be 12/2=6.

Therefore, winning and losing are not equal at all. After one win and one loss, your chips will be smaller than before.

Plus flipping a coin is a game that seems fair but is actually unfair.

If you want to win this game, the coin must come up heads more than seven times.

Ten chances, 50% probability, if you can win six times, you are already lucky.

Ye Feng sat opposite Ji Shaoyang, looked at the eight gold plates on the table, and said with a smile: "No, this game is not fair at all. I don't think I will have seven positive chances, so I won't play."

Ji Zhaoyang opened his mouth, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a second and then smiled: "He is indeed the person Duke Song likes. He refuses games and has courage."

Ye Feng opened his mouth, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "What? Am I the person Song Gong likes?"

Ji Zhaoyang showed a noncommittal expression, stood up and said: "This is the first level of 'luck', let's go to the second level."

"So...I passed this level?" Ye Feng stood up slowly.
