"Oh?" Black Butterfly raised her eyebrows under the mask and asked in a sweet voice, "What do you mean by that?"
"Regarding the results of my 'observation', I'll explain it to you in the second round," Feng Bujue said as he stood up from his chair. "Now …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he quickly flipped over a card. The next second, he lowered his head and looked at the card. Then, he flipped over two cards of the same suit.
"Brother referee, please report the score," Brother Jue reminded the referee as he was still in a daze due to Zhang Heng's fast movements.
"Uh … this … this gentleman gets three points, please continue to flip the cards." The referee paused for a moment, then stuttered and said this sentence.
Before the referee could finish his sentence, Feng Bujue quickly flipped another card. In less than five seconds, he flipped another card of "1 + 2", and it was still the same — a score.
"Three … three points!" This time, the referee reacted quickly and reported, "Please continue …"
Brother Jue sped up again. Before the referee could finish his sentence, he flipped another three cards.
In the end, it was still the same.
Just like that, Feng Bujue revealed the cards on the table at a speed that seemed to be able to see through the backs of the cards. The referee also cooperated with him and reported the score quickly.
"Three points, please continue … Three points, please continue …"
Even the other players and referees at the other tables were attracted by the continuous announcement. They all turned to look at Zhang Heng.
In less than two minutes, Feng Bujue had scored 24 points consecutively. Even he felt that he was quite lucky in this round.
Perhaps some people might find it strange … In the first ten rounds, the total number of "flips" between the two of them had reached 75. Even if they excluded the 15 cards that had already been scored, there should still be 60 known cards left. Among these 60 cards, there should be at least 30 cards that could be combined and scored, right?
Wrong!
First of all, among the 15 cards that Black Butterfly took away, almost all of them were cards that had been revealed more than twice. Among them … only one card was taken away when it was revealed for the first time. This was because that card was an unknown card that she had revealed in the first round. At that time, she remembered clearly where the two cards that matched that card were.
In other words, among the cards that she had scored, 14 of them had already occupied the 60 "flips."
Secondly, among the remaining cards on the table, there were also cards that Black Butterfly had 'repeatedly flipped'. Most of those cards were the cards that she had accidentally flipped over when she failed to score points and were located near those scoring cards.
In summary, at the beginning of the eleventh round, there were less than 60 known cards on the table. In fact … there were only about 40 cards. Among these 40 cards, there were two "Infernal Hell" that Brother Jue had flipped over in the first round, and "Elysium Land" that Black Butterfly had flipped over in the seventh round. Therefore, there were only nine "All Phases Revealed" cards that could be directly used to score points.
So, here came the question … Of course, this time, the question was not "Why did Brother Jue only score 24 points?" but "How did Brother Jue score 24 points?"
The situation was like this …
Since the first round, Feng Bujue had never flipped over the "known cards." Until this round, Brother Jue had flipped over all the "unknown cards" that had never been flipped over before. Even if there were two cards of the same suit that he had flipped over, he would not flip over the known cards to score points … just like what he did in the third round.
But in the eleventh round, his tactics … suddenly changed.
In the first two rounds of this round, he still used the strategy of "flipping an unknown card in the first hand". However, in these two rounds, after successfully flipping a new card with "two of the same suit revealed", he chose to go back and score. After getting 6 points, he adopted the strategy of "not flipping an unknown card in the first hand" for the first time and took the "9 points already known" from the table instead.
Not to mention the hidden meaning behind his actions, at least in Black Butterfly's opinion, what his opponent had done was — in just one round, he had used consecutive points to equalize the score difference between him and Black Butterfly.
This unforeseen event … undoubtedly made Black Butterfly's heart waver.
However, it was not over yet …
Next, Feng Bujue used the "first flip over the unknown card" tactic again, and he succeeded three more times, increasing his score to 24 points.
Seeing this, Black Butterfly's hesitation quickly turned into panic and fear …
"Don't you think this is a bit unbelievable?" Feng Bujue spoke at this very opportune moment.
"Heh …" Black Butterfly forced a smile. "I wonder … what did Mr. Crow use …"
"I didn't use any special method." Feng Bujue seemed to be able to read Black Butterfly's mind. He directly interrupted Black Butterfly and continued, "Everything that has happened so far is considered normal from a probability level. In my opinion … it is very boring because this is not a 'gamble' at all. At most, it is a 'game'."
"How is this possible …" Black Butterfly finally could not help but ask in a more normal tone and speed, "Can a normal person get 24 points in a row in this game?"
"Heh … by 'normal' you mean …" Feng Bujue heard her and laughed. "Are you referring to those who have poor short-term memory and poor observation skills?" He paused for a second and continued, "Hmm … Now that you mention it … the average level of modern people is more or less like that. Take a white person for example. An adult's ability to remember a string of random decimal numbers is usually less than or equal to 13 digits … and this is under the premise that they have the consciousness to remember it. " He spread out his hands and looked down at the table. "Take this triple neurasthenia game for example. There are 102 cards, and the cards are printed with patterns that most people are not familiar with. If two 'normal' people were to play this game, I'm afraid there would be no winner after more than 50 rounds."
At this point, he changed the topic. "But … what I just said was' normal from a probability level ', I did not say that I am a' normal person '." He paused for half a second and said arrogantly, "I … am a person who can 'clearly remember all the cards that have appeared' and 'know which cards have not been revealed'."
Black Butterfly did not respond to this.
Logically speaking … if it was five minutes ago, she would never believe this, but now, she was skeptical.
"You don't quite believe it, do you? It's okay. " Feng Bujue once again saw through Black Butterfly's thoughts and continued. "Listen to me …" He did not wait for Black Butterfly to respond and began to explain directly. "First of all, in the first ten rounds, I undoubtedly had a chance to score points. For example, the 'Voice of Brahma King' … Hehe … Speaking of which, do you really think that your flirting will work? Forgive me for being blunt … Even if your opponent is a hopeless lecher, in this kind of important gamble that concerns the rest of his life, he won't be distracted by that kind of factor. "
"You mean … you deliberately did not score points at that time?" Black Butterfly continued.
"Of course." Feng Bujue replied. "In the third round, when I flipped the first card, there were only twelve cards on the table. Unless you have the special ability to erase other people's memories or eat other people's IQ through the visual nerves, otherwise … even if you are 'average white', you can still score points in that round, right?"
"Hmph …" Black Butterfly could only snort at Brother Bujue's ridicule. After all, on this matter … she had nothing to refute.
"Therefore, there is only one possibility for me not to score points, and that is — I don't want to score points." Feng Bujue continued.
"Then what do you want to do?" Black Butterfly now used a hostile tone.
"Observe." Feng Bujue replied concisely and then added, "Although I gave up the points I could get in these ten rounds, I got valuable information — your thinking pattern, the upper limit of your memory, the style of the duel, and so on, I have basically mastered it."
"Hmph … Is that so?" Black Butterfly obviously did not believe Brother Jue's words. Even if she believed that Brother Jue had an extraordinary memory, she would not believe that he could see through her thoughts.
Black Butterfly stepped into the world of fame and fortune at the age of sixteen. At the age of twenty, she was already a famous socialite. She was once naive, weak, and gullible, so she was hurt, hurt, and regretted. This year, she was thirty years old. She was strong, mature, and ruthless.
She did not even need the butterfly mask because she had already put on a mask that she would never take off. No one really knew what she was thinking. Even if she took off her clothes in front of someone, she would not open up even a little bit of her heart.
"Yes or no, you will know in the second round." Brother Jue continued, "In the first round, I will let you believe in my 'memory ability' …" As he spoke, he flipped over another unknown card. "Hmm … It seems that my score for this round will stop at twenty-four," he said after seeing the card.
Black Butterfly took a look at the card and said, "What's wrong? This card is not Heaven or Hell. If you can remember all of them, you should be able to get … "
"It's because I can remember all of them that I know it won't work." Feng Bujue rudely interrupted Black Butterfly again and continued, "So far, among the revealed cards on the table, other than the Hell card and the Pure Land card, there are only six cards that can be 'paired', that is, the cards that have been revealed as' Two Elements'. As for the rest, they are all cards that have only been revealed as' One Element '.
"In this [Triple Neurasthenia], which requires' Three Elements of the Same Element 'to score points, cards that have only been revealed as' One Element 'are useless … For example, the card that I am flipping over now.
"Unless I flip another unknown card of the same suit, otherwise, not only will I not score points, but I will also create an extra 'Two Elements' for you to score points.
"Heh … Of course, you have to remember the positions of the 'Pairs' …"
After that, he quickly flipped over two unknown cards that had never been revealed and ended his round.
"After saying so much …" Black Butterfly did not rush to flip over the cards this time. Instead, he asked, "You still haven't explained why you said that what you did in this round … was' normal in terms of probability '."
"It's very simple." Feng Bujue replied, "Think about it based on my 'clear memory of all the cards that have appeared' and you will understand …"
"At the beginning of this round, I knew that there were a total of nine 'Three Elements' cards that could score points directly, and sixteen … a total of eight 'Two Elements' cards. Excluding the fifteen cards that you took and all the known cards, the probability of drawing a card that could score points from the remaining cards on the table was above 20% — the probability of one card appearing in every five cards.
"In the first round, I didn't have to consider this probability at all. If I didn't draw a card that could score points, I just had to continue to flip the cards and observe you for another round. But the actual situation was that I successfully drew a card … So I got the three points first.
"Then, I got the chance to flip the cards in the second round. The first round of this round was very crucial, and the probability basically didn't change. But if I didn't get a card that could score points, I could only give up.
"In the end, I still got it, and I got rid of another pair of 'Two Elements' cards.
"From then on, I stopped flipping the cards. Instead, I took away 100% of the points that could be scored. I kept all nine 'Three Elements' cards to equalize my score.
"After the equalization … In fact, I was ready to stop scoring because there were still six known pairs left, and every time I flipped an unknown card that could score points, the probability of flipping it again would decrease a lot. In this kind of situation where it depended on luck, I really didn't have much confidence …
"What surprised me was that in the end, I still successfully flipped over three pairs of cards. And at this time … the probability of flipping over a card that could be obtained had already decreased to about 7%. From flipping over five cards, there was a chance of obtaining a card, to flipping over fourteen cards. The result … is as you can see."
Hearing this, Black Butterfly's lips that were not covered by the mask were trembling slightly. She could now be sure of two things. First, she was a little unable to keep up with her opponent's thoughts. Second, this feeling of not knowing what was going on meant that what her opponent said about "remembering all the cards that have been flipped and being able to calculate which cards have not been flipped" was true.
Clap — Clap — Clap —
"Okay … Okay …" After a moment of silence, Black Butterfly raised both hands and clapped for her Brother Jue. She returned to her pretentious attitude, "Mr. Crow, I admit that your memory ability is better than mine, and I deeply admire it."
"You flatter me," at this time, Feng Bujue had already sat back in his chair, sipping the champagne with a straw and leisurely replied.
"It's just … You …" Black Butterfly smiled charmingly, "Don't you like to show off a little too much?" She leaned forward again, put her elbows on the table, and rested her chin on one hand, showing off her benefits. "If you silently wait for a few more rounds, pick up some points appropriately, and wait until the moment when the two 'Elysium Land' cards become known, raise the number of Elements on the table to 'Twenty-Five Elements' in one go, and immediately flip two Elysium Land cards to turn the tables … Then, wouldn't I have no chance at all?"
"Oh?" Feng Bujue smiled jokingly and replied, "You mean … Under the current situation, you still think you have a chance?"
