At the moment when the words of the rotten man fell.

Thirteen incense's pupils suddenly narrowed, and her breathing suddenly stopped.

An inexplicable sense of fear gripped his heart.

It's not the fear of failure.

It was as if some extremely cold, viscous liquid was clinging to his spine from his back, slowly crawling upwards. The unusual sensation made his back tense and his arms get goosebumps.

Thirteen incense lost control of her body in an instant.

After a slight feeling of dizziness, Thirteen Fragrance's eyes appeared with strange hallucinations-

He appears in the dimly lit enclosed room, while the hands of winter, the fragrant basement, and the husky playing Annan disappear entirely.

There was only one rotten man left around him, and he couldn't even see the player's barrage that kept floating in front of him.

…… Is this an anti-cheat system?

Thirteen incense quickly realized something.

But that's not a big deal...... He had guessed from the beginning that the rotten man probably had a way to limit the other party's use of outside means. Otherwise, if you can gather the wisdom of everyone, there will be nothing to be afraid of.

He quickly calmed down and began to observe his surroundings.

It is a temple building with an unusually quaint decoration.

It looks like an ancient Egyptian stone building with a touch of Greek style, and it is reminiscent of the old environment of the inside of the pyramids. There were a few slender candles lit around, but they were unexpectedly bright.

And he was still Dmitry's body at the moment, which he determined by looking at his wrist with the amber bracelet. But the clothes he wore were no longer Dmitry's clothes, but a quaint garment made of white gauze and a lot of linen ropes, the most characteristic of which was that there were many linen knots.

"Don't panic, Your Highness Dmitry. It's just to give you a quieter environment to think. ”

The rotten man smiled and said, "Our gambling game can still be carried out normally......"

As he spoke, two candles suddenly lit in front of him.

A marble platform was revealed in front of them. Placed on top is a stone bowl containing three ancient bone dice – surrounded by 26 stones on the left and on the right.

"These are dice, made from the skulls of horsemen, to insulate them from the effects of the forces of fate. Whoever accumulates one point takes a pebble...... It's not complicated, right?

"Then Your Highness, are you the first or the last?"

After a brief introduction, the rotten man immediately asked again.

“…… Start with the first hand. ”

Thirteen incense took a light breath and said in a deep voice.

In this kind of game, the first hand must have an advantage - as long as the first player scores the final point in a certain round, then the second hand will be indescribable in that round.

Assuming that the two sides are entangled until the end, then the first player is equivalent to a half-round lead. That's a big advantage...... With a balance of power, this half-round advantage is enough to win.

"First move...... Is this part of your 'desire to control'? ”

The rotten man sighed: "What a reason...... So, each round has a minute to think about, no problem, right? ”

It's just a nightmare...... Even if he died, it wouldn't have much effect on him, and this time he just came in to collect information. But he felt a sense of nervousness inexplicably, as if he was standing at the door of the examination room waiting for the door to open.

If you let him sit down, he might start shaking his legs immediately.

Foreign aid is no longer available, so you can only rely on yourself.

Thirteen incense closed her eyes and began to use her brain to calculate quickly after a long absence.

- This seems to be a headless and brainless guessing number, but because there is a "guessing punishment", it has become traceable. It's like the poker game "Blackjack".

The difference is that blackjack is generally played with three decks of cards, i.e. 152 cards for a hand. Because the used cards will not appear again, the proportion of the used cards will directly affect the probability of the appearance of subsequent big and small cards in the same hand.

Thirteen incense's mind is not a computer, and it is impossible to calculate the dynamic probability in an instant in the game "21 points". But this dice game is much easier to calculate.

The numbers that can be drawn in this game are random numbers from 3 to 18. However, 11 as the median is not the most probable number - because it is the final number obtained by adding a set of 3D6 dice.

To make sure it doesn't explode, make sure the numbers are as small as possible.

Choose 3...... No, 3 is still too dangerous.

Then it's good to have between 2 and 3 on each die.

When you want to draw a number with a sum of less than 6, the probability will be significantly smaller, and the safest should be the four numbers from 6 to 9. That is, the total number between 6 and 9 is four numbers, which is a more reasonable ...... without being too risky threshold.

Thirteen incense quickly finalized the conclusion.

He didn't have time for complicated calculations, so he could only roughly finalize the four numbers "6789". He instinctively thought that these four numbers should be the ones with high expectations.

And considering that Miss Good Luck's lucky number is 7, then if you choose "7" among this number, maybe your luck will be relatively better.

“…… Has it already begun? ”

Thirteen Xiang asked in a low voice.

He felt a little dry in his throat.

"Of course," said the rotten man with a smile, "it's been a long time. ”

"So I'll pick the first number...... 7。 ”

Thirteen incense said slowly.

The moment his voice fell, the three bone dice suddenly lit up with light.

They reach the eyes of the thirteen incense, then divide into three directions, and fall naturally - after falling into the stone bowl, they make a crisp and pleasant crackling sound, collide and bounce up again and then fall.

The numbers are "2, 3, 2".

The sum is seven.

Thirteen incense suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"-yes."

He whispered applause to himself, and took seven of the twenty-six stones from his right.

Great start!

It's so dangerous...... Today's dice luck is obviously not good, and it almost bursts.

If it were a little more insured, maybe it would be better to call it 6...... Or is this Miss Good Luck saying that she is lucky today?

Thirteen Xiang couldn't help but start thinking crankily in her mind.

And the rotten man folded his hands on his chest and read out his number with a smile:

"—of course I'll pick eighteen."

At that moment, Thirteen Incense's thoughts froze.

His first reaction was - you kid aren't going to cheat, are you?

But soon, the results came out.

The number is thirteen.

Because it was smaller than eighteen, it exploded.

"So I'm not going to take the stone from above. But of course, I won't add any more stones...... Because it is impossible to deduct a situation lower than zero points. ”

The rotten man said with a smile.

…… You didn't say earlier that there were no negative scores!

Thirteen Incense thought viciously.

But it seems reasonable.

This is probably the same as when the number of internal static layers is zero, even if you fail to concentrate on processing and explode, and the punishment of halving the number of internal static layers, you don't have to be afraid......

But then I'm ahead of the curve—

Thirteen Xiang thought to herself.

He didn't dare to say it, for fear of becoming a flag.

"Then I'll still pick seven in the next round," Thirteen Xiang said in a deep voice, "Miss Good Luck will shelter me." ”

"No, it won't."

The rotten man calmly replied: "The skull of the centaur can shield the power of fate. ”

It seems to reflect the words of the rotten man.

The number drawn in this round of thirteen incense is 6.

Exploded - hence the need to deduct a point.

Reluctantly, he returned one of the stones.

It's outrageous. He thought.

3D6 can actually hit two consecutive rounds of dice with less than 7...... It's not a probability at all!

"I'm still eighteen."

The rotten man replied.

This is probably the barefoot who are not afraid to wear shoes. Anyway, it's zero points, and it doesn't matter how you deduct it.

The numbers that came out of this round of rotten dice are even more outrageous.

This time it's "one-two-one", with a total score of four. If the number of rotten men is not zero, this explosion is enough for him to play a song "Go Home" on the saxophone.

In the next round, Thirteen Incense still guessed seven.

This time he hit the number ten.

It's still not big, but he can also score seven points. At this time, Thirteen Incense already had thirteen points - just over half of the points.

And the rotten man then made a number seven out of the dice. His total score remains zero.

This time, Thirteen Incense chose seven again - the tension was already too much for him to think. simply continue to inherit the previous decision, and choose seven without a brain.

And this time he hit an eight.

Earn seven points again.

He's got twenty points — just one more seven.

No, even if it's six points, he's already won!

"You know what, His Highness Dmitry."

But at this moment, the rotten man suddenly spoke: "Those who have no power do not care about losing. The anger of those who have nothing will appear more powerful. ”

"—don't talk to me, I don't want to talk to you."

Thirteen Xiang was worried that there might be some traps in the rotten man's words, or that he would start to talk about it, so he said unceremoniously, "Tell me your number." ”

"Naturally...... Eighteen. ”

The rotten man likewise did not change his numbers.

But......

Thirteen incense's breathing suddenly stopped.

- Three sixes.

Eighteen points, the highest number in theory.

"Do you remember what I said earlier?"

The rotten man said calmly: "The desire to control the power of others, the wisdom to speculate on people's hearts, and the patience to persevere until luck comes."

"You see, I've made it to the point. And you didn't guess it. ”

"You might as well try again, your lucky numbers...... How about seeing if Miss Good Luck will bless you? ”

…… Fuck you.

Thirteen Xiang's lips moved slightly, and he cursed secretly.

You're pouring lead into the cliff of the dice!

Why do you start a mouth cannon and come out with a 666?

He suddenly panicked.

What to do?

Next...... Pick six?

According to the previous calculation, the probability of "6 and above" is the largest and safest.

…… No, no.

If you hit the minimum value of three this time, you will be deducted four points. In that case, he will be even more backward than the rotten man.

Even if it's 4, it may be reduced by one.

If you want to be the safest...... It's just pick three.

If you choose three, no matter what tricks and feet the rotten man uses, the thirteen incense will definitely get three points. And Thirteen Incense is now twenty points, and will win after two rounds anyway.

In other words—

Thirteen incense quickly realized.

The current game has changed from the calculation of probability to the game of people's hearts.

In the next round, as long as Thirteen Incense does not choose 6, he can only choose 3.

Choosing 6 is to bet that the rotten man will not do anything, and hand over the victory or defeat to the probability. But if he fails, he will immediately lose all his current advantage.

Either you can choose the more conservative number three and you will surely win after two rounds.

On the other hand, on the side of the rotten man - the rotten man is still eight points behind.

Suppose the rotten man is really able to control the dice...... So it shouldn't be difficult for Him to dice a number above 8?

…… Wrong.

Thirteen incense reacted suddenly.

If the rotten man can control the dice, then he will definitely lose no matter how he chooses. Because his winning method takes two turns, and if the rotten man can change the face of the dice, then he will already win the next turn by scoring a number of eight or more.

Therefore, the thirteen incense can only choose six.

- Betting on the "first move" you choose at the beginning can make a difference.

“…… I'll pick six. ”

Thirteen incense said slowly.

"Oh?"

The rotten man smiled slightly.

He said leisurely: "What, don't choose seven?"

"You didn't mean...... Is Seven the lucky number for Miss Good Luck? ”

"But six is more likely than seven, right?"

Thirteen incense said fearlessly: "You also said it, this dice can't be affected by the power of fate. ”

"Will you believe what I say?"

The rotten man said leisurely: "Or do you just believe it selectively...... Intelligence in your favor?

"Like a king who can only hear good news?"

The next moment, the dice slowly stopped.

- The number is three.

The points of thirteen incense were reverted back to sixteen points.

"And I'll pick three, skip this round, and the points will be blackjack."

"The closer you get to victory, the more cautious you have to be – just three points, so you don't need dice."

"Your Highness Dmitry, then. Do you think that this dice are not actually the skulls of the centaurs? Will it be affected by Miss Good Luck? Or will you continue to stick to your own idea of making a triple out as a mere probability?

"Ah, yes. Of course, three points are also possible, although not big - but I have all diced 666, and it doesn't seem strange that you have three points?

"Or why do you still think it won't have a three, even after I've scored eighteen? Are you calculating your own expectations...... Is it inevitable? ”

The rotten man said leisurely: "This is your ...... as the king Arrogance?

"—Your Highness?"

Thirteen Fragrance's fingers trembled slightly from nervousness.

His heart began to beat violently. He gasped for air, as if he was about to suffocate...... Cold sweat broke out behind him.

Now he's ten o'clock in the morning.

He wanted to just pick ten points and gamble - but he didn't dare. The probability was so low that he couldn't believe it.

Then Thirteen Incense now needs at least two rounds to reach 26 points no matter what. On the contrary, it is a rotten man, and he only needs to choose two more threes to win.

Now the question becomes - can he necessarily get 10 points in two times?

Three points are bound to be scored. In other words, as long as he scores seven points again, he can win outright.

Then the problem goes back to the beginning.

This time it's seven – just like seven in the first place.

Will he be able to win?

"Hurry up, Your Highness."

The rotten man said leisurely: "The time is almost up. ”

“…… I'll pick three. ”

Thirteen Xiang skipped a round with a hoarse voice.

"Still afraid? Even if you know that it doesn't make sense at all? ”

Seeing this choice, the rotten man finally laughed.

He shook his head and said regretfully, "It seems that you don't have the ability to be a king.

That is to say...... The heir of the Duchy of Winter will not be you.

"So-"

Thirteen incense's heart tightened.

Will the last seven be able to win?

Regardless of whether or not this dice can receive the power of fate, seven should be the best choice......

"—There is no need to choose this round. I throw in the towel. ”

The rotten man said flatly: "You don't have the heart of a king at all...... Then the result is already predestined. ”

This made Thirteen Xiang's heart fall suddenly.

But he suddenly felt a strong emptiness in his heart—

In the end, he still didn't know if he could guess the "seven" correctly.

Although he won, he was not very happy.

Thirteen Incense regretted it a little......

It's just a nightmare, after all.

- It would be nice to pick seven in the round just now.
