Survivorship Bias

    Not long after, a new area was formed on the right side of the large screen, and several lines of text and numbers appeared on the original blank screen.

    It is the chip ranking of the team.

    In front of each team is a flag of the corresponding color as a sign, and the people in each team are marked, and at the end is their total chip total.

    Similar to his calculations, An Wu Jiu's team is currently the first.

    But looking at this ranking, An Wu Jiu always felt uneasy, even a little anxious.

    If he wants to save everyone, he must take the first place.

    The chance of winning first is very low, he knows.

     "There is one thing, I want to say in advance, you will treat me as a vaccination."

    I don't know what kind of strange tacit understanding it was, but as soon as An Wujiu opened his mouth, Shen Ti knew what he was going to say.

    An Wujiu looked at the others with a serious expression, "I have a very strange disease, maybe at some point I didn't expect it, it would suddenly become very strange, like changing If you are alone, your character will be very bad."

    To the few people who knew An Wu Jiao for a long time, it was already normal, but to Tengtang Sakura, Noah and Brother Chen, this kind of disease was very novel.

    "What will it become? How bad is it?" Todo Sakura was quite interested, so she kept asking, "Why is this happening? Do you remember us then? It will deceive people. Murder?"

    "I'm not sure." An Wujiu only answered the last question, he honestly said, "Because I couldn't control myself at that time, but I remember everyone, just explain in advance, so as not to You will be surprised then."

     "Isn't that the two brothers who are divided?" Noah raised his head and looked at him innocently.

    “No.” An Wujiu gently touched her head, “Even if it gets worse, it’s me. I will remember you, and I will do my best to work with you all, we To take the first place this time, it must be.”

    It was rare for him to say such firm words, which made Shen Ti feel a little distressed.

    I always feel that An Wu blames everyone's lives on himself.

    "In any case, let's learn about the rules of each game first."

    When they heard An Wujiu's words, everyone agreed, everyone acted separately and went to the other gaming tables to watch.

    Zhong Yirou is good at gambling, but Yang Erci has never been in contact with them, so she has the opportunity to teach Yang Erci.

    "Actually, gambling is often based on luck, but occasionally there are some small tricks that can make your luck a little better."

    Yang Erci looked at her, "Little trick?"

    "That's right." Zhong Yirou smiled, "It's not a very clever trick, but many people love to learn, and everyone has a fluke mentality. Not open. In fact, it is psychological hints and misguided guidance, which are easier to succeed, and there is no risk of being caught.”

    Yang Erci nodded meaningfully. After the two stood at a gaming table, she suddenly asked, "How do you know so much? Have you ever been in a casino before?"

    Zhong Yirou raised her eyebrows, "Just worked."

    Shen Ti and An Wujiu walked around the table where Maguire was and went straight to the farthest gaming table.

    There are five participants in this table, and everyone is very nervous.

    An Wujiu stood about one meter away from the gaming table, quietly observing them, besides the two of them, there were also many people standing here, some were chips, some were waiting to take over the next one round player.

    On the gaming table, the numbers are displayed floating behind everyone, which is their betting chips in this round, which is the same as the one Maguire won before, which is also five hundred.

    An Wujiu looked at it, suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Ti.

    He just looked at him so quietly and didn't speak, but Shen Ti felt unaccustomed, turned his face and raised his eyebrows at him.

    The two already have a tacit understanding, and they know what the other means without asking questions. When An Wujiu saw it, he didn't hide it and asked directly, "Why are your chips so low?"

    According to common sense, this should not be the case. Shen Ti's body and appearance are very rare. According to the saying that beauty is hard currency, his chip value should not be low.

    Not to mention that he is even the winner of the warm-up match, he should still be rewarded with chips for guessing right, how come there are so few.

    Is it possible... Like Brother Chen, the debts owed are astronomical?

    But he has never mentioned that he has debts, and he looks like he is alone, not greedy for money or profit, and he looks like someone who is short of money.

    After listening to An Wujiu's question, Shen Ti just shrugged his shoulders, his expression did not waver, he looked indifferent, "I don't know either."

    “Really?” An Wujiu revealed doubts.

    "Really." Shen Ti nodded, he thought about it, and thought of a possible reason, "Isn't this chip exchanged for a person's life value? Maybe it's because of my desire to survive If it is too low, the corresponding survival value will be very low.”

    “This reason is barely reasonable.” An Wujiu has a serious expression and bright eyes, “But I don’t accept it.”

    But An Wujiu said it, adding a bit of sincerity, sincerity, and concern, Shen Ti not only didn't think he was unreasonable, but found him cute.

    "I see." Shen Ti put his hand on his shoulder, "Then let me think about it, is there any other reason."

    "Alright then." An Wujiu replied.

    The act of taking the shoulder was actually semi-forced by Shen Ti at first, but now, with his arm on his shoulder, An Wujiu actually felt at ease.

    It's weird, what if he's not there.

    Thinking of this, An Wu Jiao's mood actually fluctuated a little, many times he was terribly calm, just like the rabbit said, he was even calm to the point of boring.

    But thinking of the possibility that Shen Ti would disappear, An Wujiu couldn't help but shake.

    If there is such a day, it may be difficult for him to retain his last sanity.

    "You didn't lose a game when you rolled the dice in the warm-up match?" Shen Ti couldn't be assigned to a group with him in the warm-up match. He was always curious, so he asked, "I think you are in good shape. OK."

    "Losing a game." An Wujiu explained truthfully, remembering something and then added, "It's just that he made a big deal, and the two of them joined forces to frame me."

    He said this like a child who was wronged, complaining to him, but his tone was very serious, with a lovely contrast.

    "Really." Shen Ti said with a faint smile, "Then you drank the punishment drink, and there was no reaction? I think they were all confused."

    "One point." An Wujiu looked at the excited and nervous players at the gaming table, and thought of himself in the private room, "At that time... I felt like I saw a lot of tentacles, all of them reaching out to me. Come here, it feels like it's about to wrap me around, everything in the whole space is like oil paint, it's all mixed together, like a fluid. However, it only lasts for a while, not very long, and it doesn't affect me think."

    Shen Ti found that this drink has a strong control over other people, but it seems to be much less for An Wujiu.

    Is An Wu Jiu really a different physique? Or was he really transformed.

    He, like himself, has many doubts in his body, but it is still a lot of fog.

    They are really similar in some ways.

    For example, they are missing a part of themselves.

    He told An Wujiu that he drank champagne downstairs, and described the champagne tower to be very similar, even An Wujiu, who did not drink, was a little tempted.

    "Club A."

      The players also need to be divided into camps, which is a game of identity + poker cards.

    I haven't stayed at this table for long, there have been several celebratory music in the hall, two of the three times are Maguire's, and the remaining one is Zhou Yijue.

    Behind every cheerful and pleasant celebration music, there are bursts of screams and cries, from the living chips of the losers.

    This smooth and shiny floor tile is soaked in more and more blood.

    Being able to get chips so quickly, it is safe to guess that they should all choose short and fast gambling games, such as dice and poker, and Russian roulette, otherwise it will not end so quickly.

    Because of these two games, Maguire pocketed 1,500 chips, his personal ranking went up again, and the team ranking also changed, rising one place to become the fourth place, And the third place at the moment is Zhou Yijue.

    The situation has become extremely fast, and the fate of everyone in the casino is changing rapidly.

    He said hello to him, "Aren't you going to take part in the game?"

    An Wu Jiu turned his face and looked at him calmly.

    "What's the matter with you?"

    He saw the man's name and the purple headband on his forehead.

    This is Zhou Yijue's group.

      double the chips."

    Double.

    “If we promise you, we will pay you double the chips if we lose.” An Wujiu knew their subtext very well and said it very directly.

    Shen Ti folded his arms across his chest with a clear attitude and smiled, "This is not an exciting proposal."

    Huang Maogan laughed a few times, and quickly poured out what Zhou Yijue taught him just now, "Of course it's more than that, our captain is now comparing, he can't come in person, so I entrusted me to come over with you. As you have seen, Maguire's group is rising steadily. I am afraid that the next step is to grab the position of our two groups. At this time, our two groups should form an alliance and take his group's chips first. In. At least take them from the other groups who won the bet first."

    “To form an alliance?” There are many people here, An Wujiu took him to a remote place and asked, “How do you want to form an alliance?”

    Huang Mao saw that there was a play, and immediately said: "It's very simple, let's play a game together, participate in a multi-player game, let Maguire also participate, and when he takes the bait, we will cooperate with both sides to win his chips ."

    Shen Ti chuckled lightly, as if he heard some ridiculous remarks, "There are winners and losers in the game, and the positions are relative. You said that the two groups of us won his chips together? How to win?"

    This was also expected by Zhou Yijue. He said that the people here would definitely ask this question.

    Huang Mao memorized the answers one by one, and said according to his instructions: "Just like the project you two looked at just now, protect the emperor."

    An Wujiu already understood.

    That game puts two different groups of people in the same camp so that their interests are tied together.

    "I don't know if you have played the royalist game. This game requires five players and four decks of cards. It is divided into two camps."

    Huang Mao pointed to the demonstration animation on the gambling table, and explained it a little according to the animation, "Look, the people on the table play cards in order, and the special marked king and the special marked king are drawn. Xiao Wang has been in the same camp ever since, the big king is the emperor, the one who draws the little king is the emperor's bodyguard, and the remaining three become the revolutionary party, two against three."

    The game requires players to play cards in order, which is similar to the general poker game. The big card controls the small card, the big suit controls the small suit, and the outcome is determined according to the order in which the players play all cards. , whichever camp wins first.

    If the two royalists want to win, one person must be the first player to play all the cards and occupy the top spot, and the other royalist must be in the second, third and fourth place, no Finally finished.

    That is, [Baogie Baoge], [Baoge Baoge] and [Baoge Baoge], these three sequences.

    If the revolutionists won the first place to finish the hand, and the royalists did not get the second and third, these situations are regarded as the victory of the revolutionaries.

    Except for the above, it will be regarded as a draw.

    An Wujiu turned his face and looked directly into the eyes of the yellow-haired man, his eyes were not sharp, but they would give people a sense of pressure.

    "What you mean is, we are in the same faction and defeat the opposing faction."

    Huangmao was a little frightened and nodded immediately.

    After solving a problem, An Wujiu asked again: "But how can you be sure, we will definitely be in the same camp."

    Huang Mao smiled and said: "Ah, you don't have to worry about this, it's covered by our captain."

    When he finished speaking, An Wujiu fell into deep thought, this plan sounds very tempting, but in fact there are many loopholes, even if they really guarantee that they can draw a group, but whether they can win later , how to win, there is no certainty.

    Especially in the case of an old man like Maguire who is good at cheating, the outcome of the game is even more difficult to predict.

    He turned his head and glanced at the other gaming tables.

    There are basically dealers at other gambling tables. If the players do not shuffle and deal cards, the dealer is responsible for the whole process. In this way, Maguire's chances of making thousands are much smaller. .

    Dealer…

    An Wujiu suddenly realized what Huang Mao meant when he said "wrap around Zhou Yijue".

    Huangmao said everything he had to say like a bean, but he didn't mean to make a decision directly, he just said with a flattering smile: "Captain wants me to tell you, although your team has People with extremely high chip value like you, but there are also people with very low chips, even if you want to protect these people, but the victory or defeat is unpredictable, everyone is the chip on the field, you can't just sit idly by."

    Zhou Yijue is a smart man and knows how to use other people to pinch him.

    An Wujiu of course knows that, even if he doesn't participate, he will be overtaken sooner or later. At that time, only one person will survive, but if he participates in the gambling game, once the people with high chip value in their team will be injured , and even more serious results, those with low stack values ​​had to play.

    Huangmao persevered, "If you can win some chips in advance, this way, even if you lose the next game, you will have extra chips to cover, so you don't have to worry about other people as chips Will it die, because you have enough chips in your hands to play the game, don't you?"

    Shen Ti didn't think it mattered, he really wanted to make a bet with the old thousand that An Wujiu said.

    Even so, he actually knew very well that An Wujiu was different from him. In his heart, all human beings were the same, there was no intimacy or alienation, just like ants and beasts, all of them could survive Rights also have the chance of losing their lives at any time, and there is no need to force them. Although this kind of mentality somewhat means looking down on the common people, Shen Ti cannot deny that he is such a person.

    Except for safety.

    But An Wu Jiao is the complete opposite. For him, it is not unimportant to pass through everyone in his life. He will always try his best to protect every one of his companions, even I hope that the opponent can also put down the butcher's knife. Although he is kind and naive, he will always lay out plans to accomplish his goals.

    So he can't and won't treat everyone's life as a child's play.

    Thinking of this, Shen Ti didn't want to act willfully.

    Since An Wu Jiu wants to protect them, then he should protect An Wu Jiao.

    The three of them are standing here, and they haven't discussed the result yet. Who would have guessed that Brother Chen and Tengtang Ying from the same group rushed over, their faces were very flustered, and they didn't say what happened, An Wujiu Immediately, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

    "What's wrong?" An Wujiu walked towards them quickly and asked.

    Brother Chen gasped for breath, his face was full of sweat, Todo Sakura paled, "Noah, Noah seems to have been kidnapped by them."

    An Wujiu frowned, "What?"

    "Who was kidnapped." Shen Ti's expression was rarely very calm.

    "It seems to be from the yellow group. They wear yellow hairbands. I chased after them, and they disappeared. When I found other people in their group, they, they didn't admit it."Chen Brother looked panicked, "It's all me, Noah is standing next to us, and she hasn't gone anywhere."

    “Huang Group…” An Wu Jiu’s eyes turned cold for a moment.

    Huangmao also followed, got close to them, took the opportunity to make a fuss and said, "Yellow? Then, isn't that Maguire's group? Shouldn't it be... They're going to blackmail the little girl You guys!"

    An Wu Jiu did not speak, only Shen Ti suddenly spoke.

    "I agree to join."

    Shen Ti's mouth twitched, "But... I have a request."
