Chapter 506 Blood Moon Battle ([-])
Dick explained that the saber was a gift from a certain prince in the 16th century to his son who was about to go to war, and it also had the prince's inscription on it.When Red 14 rejoiced and thought that it would not lose money, Dick added: "Through modern technology to detect the material of the saber, it can be determined that the saber is a fake, and the production time will not exceed 10 years."

Dick looked at the astonished Red 14 and said seriously, "It's worth 20 euros."

Red 14 fell to the ground and passed out, this situation was beyond everyone's expectation.After Petain was eliminated, all powerful guests were substitutes. How could there be such a weak-willed substitute?Dick froze for a few seconds, and shouted: "Doctor, doctor." He felt that the Blood Moon invitation he hosted seemed to be more than just a competitive game.The rich people lost, and what they lost was only their pocket money, and the substitutes lost, and it might kill them.

"Game paused."

After Dick announced, he returned to his room on the second floor, contacted the housekeeper of Blood Moon, and made a request: asking Blood Moon to ensure the safety of the substitute.The Blood Moon Steward told Dick that all the bosses participating in this game had promised Blood Moon not to harm the stand-in, and Blood Moon could only do so much.The subtext is: they violated the verbal agreement and Blood Moon has nothing to do with them.The blood moon steward told Dick that all the substitutes came to the blood moon invitation after they had paid enough. They were all adults and would pay for their actions.Dick's words reminded the Blood Moon Steward, who connected to London to send another 80 guards to board the ship in order to prevent accidents during the Blood Moon invitation.

Dick returned to the first floor and found that the eyes of all the guests were indifferent. Although they were surprised that Red 14 was threatened with bankruptcy, they fainted, but they did not have any sympathy for Red 14.For a moment, Dick felt that he was naive. Even if these people don't deal with life and death on a daily basis, their views on life and death, especially the views on other people's life and death, are very indifferent.

Red 14 still has 1 chip left. Considering the physical condition of Red 14, Dick decided to postpone the second session until 14 pm.Everyone has no doubts, disapproves or disapproves, and disperses separately.Dick heard them discussing not the red 4800, but calculating whether the players' total chips would be below 4800 million or above [-] million after the first round.

回到五层客房中心花园喝茶时，豪斯把豪斯团的信息告知了梁袭：“预估目前玩家手上拥有6500万的筹码，比4800万的筹码多出了1700万。第二个环节应该是要分配1700万。”4号和5号宝库让玩家筹码增加了近20 million。

Anthony said: "I don't quite understand. Is it just to play with chips? Is there any point?"

Liang Xi didn't hide his secrets, and expressed his opinion: "Yesterday was obviously a game, why didn't Dick admit that it was a game day? Did he say that yesterday was just the prelude to testing the system? The chips were redistributed last night, and today's first session , The second link is also to redistribute chips. He really doesn't want everyone to be on the same starting line. If I guess correctly, tonight is the time to spend chips."

House understood: "Distribute chips during the day and spend them at night. How do you spend them?"

Liang Xi said: "House, haven't you used your brain for too long? Have you forgotten how the top five quasi-subordinate elders are created? Whenever a neutral guest is eliminated, the person with the most chips immediately wins and becomes the quasi-elder. The next elder. We happen to be five people."

芬妮道：“现在筹码最多的应该是红4里斯通，1100万左右。红1、红10、红15，800万左右。再次是红8，700万左右。除了他们，其他人最少在今天很难成为赢家。”

Anthony looked at House: "This can't be done, we have to gather all the chips in our hands, and then let people retire."

House said: "I asked the boss yesterday if I bought chips from Liang Xi. The boss told me not to worry."

Anthony asked, "What's the number of your boss' double?"

House shook his head: "I don't know."

Having said that, Liang Xi saw the head of security winking at him, picked up House's cigarettes and lighter from the table, and pretended to go to the side to smoke and talk to the head of security.House comforted himself: "At least he's still covering up." Although the atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious, everyone knew that in this blood moon invitation, everyone was already a passer-by, or even a hostile relationship.

The security supervisor whispered: "5 minutes ago, a sailor found someone falling into the water at the stern of the ship. The guard rushed to the stern of the ship and met Red 7. Red 7 told the guard that it was Red 14 who fell into the water. For his own good, Don't try to save him."

Liang Xi asked, "Can it be saved?"

The head of security replied: "Basically impossible."

"Thank you." After thanking Liang Xi, he returned to his seat and sat down, saying, "Red 14 jumped into the sea."

"I expected it." Anthony replied: "I know Hong 14, he is a black jewelry and oil painting appraiser in the city, and he is also a legal consultant for an underground pawnshop. The only bad habit of this person is excessive gambling. If he is not desperate, he will definitely not come. Invite to the Blood Moon. A gambler will never make a fortune."

Chris asked, "Where did all the betting money go?"

Anthony smiled and didn't answer.

……

Hong 14's death was insignificant, not even comparable to Liang Xi's injury.After receiving the alarm, the British Coast Guard believed that Red 14 did not die on a British ship and had nothing to do with them.In view of the fact that the body has been salvaged on board, the cruise ship is requested to keep the body properly and send the body to the UK after the return voyage, and they will then contact the Czech police to deal with the aftermath.The subtext also blames the cruise ship for being troublesome, so why not just bury him at sea?
Dick was a little sad about it, but he was a Madonna at best and couldn't wear a watch.At three o'clock in the afternoon, Dick appeared on the stage in a state of trembling, forgetting what happened in the morning.

The purpose of the afternoon session is already very clear, because the total number of chips reached 6500 million in the morning activities, 1700 million chips in the hands of players must be cut.Cut whose?How to cut it?
Dick said: "It's tea time now, everyone must be hungry, please bring food out."

Six men in chef's clothes each entered with six large plates of cupcakes, crème brûlée, brioche, apple pie and six-slice cookies.There are 12 of each food, and the number is posted on it.The chef left after putting down the food.

Then the waiter came in and put a clean cup and a jug of ice water on each table.

Dick said: "Once the game starts, people who drink water and leave their seats will be deducted 50 chips. If you need to go to the bathroom, you should go now."

Liang Xi and everyone stood up, walked towards the toilet, and asked, "Dick, do we have a conscience for playing like this?"

Dick smiled: "Fun is king."

Liang Xi said, "I don't think it's fun."

Dick replied, "I think fun is fun."

The beauty scorpion squeezed Liang Xi, walked around Liang Xi's arms, and asked, "What?"

Liang Xi whispered: "Dark cooking."

……

Seeing that everyone was seated, Dick said, "The rules of the game: answer the questions. The wrong ones eat. If you have one, please invite the big screen."

A Korean sentence appeared on the big screen, and Dick said: "What does this sentence mean?" A: Brother, I am full, thank you. B, Sister, you are too much, I don't want to see you again. C, Teacher, this I can't answer the questions, sorry. D, boss, I'm late, please don't fire me. Please play the audio."

The electronic voice reads the question and four options.

Everyone looked at Liang Xi together, and some guests were dissatisfied: "This is cheating, this is Chinese."

Liang Xi was relieved when he heard it, because he didn't understand it, so Liang Xi said: "Your Chinese is like this." Although he doesn't understand Korean, Liang Xi can understand this question.The Korean language was born out of the Chinese language. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, they refused to accept the Qing Dynasty, so they set up their own characters, and the language is similar to that of Dongying.If it is Japanese, Liang Xi can probably guess even if it is Japanese.If it's Korean, you have to be lucky.For example, there must be a brother in this passage.My brother is Oppa.The three famous Korean languages ​​are: Ouba, Smecta and Seba.

Dick excused Liang Xi: "This is Korean, Korean. Please use your watch to choose, the time is 1 minutes, and the timer starts. Messages are not allowed." Seeing Liang Xi and the beauty scorpion looking at each other again, Dick immediately issued a warning and temporarily supplemented the rules .Although judging from Liang Xi's resume and information, it is impossible for him to know the meaning of this sentence.There are not many people who learn small languages ​​such as Korean. As long as they don't live and work in Korea all the year round, basically no one will deliberately learn Korean.

As a result, about 25% of the people answered correctly, and 22 of the 6 guests answered correctly.The next step is to order.Accompanied by the operation of the watch by the guests, the waiter delivered the food to the loser.Liang Xi looked at House's cream cake beside him. There was actually a green layer in the three-layer cake. Although it could be explained, it was rare in the cake world.

Dick said: "Please eat up the food within 1 minutes, get ready, and start."

The cake is not big, usually enough for two mouthfuls of House.House gracefully cut the cake into four parts. After chewing the first part, House's face turned green on the spot.Others spread mustard on food, but this cake is cream on top of mustard.Wasabi is not only spicy, but also very spicy.If the spicy taste can be tolerated, it is necessary to relish the spicy taste.House is a smart person, knowing that he can't taste it slowly, so he stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it in two or three bites.A strong smell emanated from the mouth, making Liang Xi, who was one meter away, tilt his head and dare not look at each other.

How to relieve spicy?There was a jug of clear ice water in front of him, and the surface of the glass jug was coated with a layer of water mist due to the ice inside and the heat outside. House touched the glass jug with his hand, wishing he could use his tongue to add water to it.Since there is no water to drink, the second way to relieve spicy food is to jump in place. This physical understanding of spicy food can make people temporarily forget the pain.

But the rules stipulated that he could not leave his seat, so House could only inhale happily, and the sweat all over his body spewed out of nowhere.Regardless of his image, House took off his suit and threw it at his feet, unbuttoned his shirt, and fanned his mouth violently with his hand.

On the other side, Ristone didn't know what he ate, and he slammed his fists on the table, his body tensed to the limit with all his strength.Intuitively, the fist is useless, and instead of the head, it will make an ah every time it is hit.He's not alone, 50% of the diners are pretty miserable.The remaining 50% of the diners inexplicably took the food and gorged themselves.

Dick said: "It's 1 minutes, congratulations to all players for completing the task. Now we are going to the next question. This question is very simple, please look at the big screen. What is the following sentence that is most directly related to Socrates? A: Reason , why, result. B, idealist teleology. C: son of Apollo. D: spirit of the school. 1 minutes to choose the time, and the timer starts."

Seeing Liang Xi's instant choice, Dick couldn't help walking over: "You know everything?"

Liang Xidao: "Philosophy is the cornerstone of human civilization."

Dick said: "Then tell me who these four sentences correspond to, and answer in random order."

Liang Xi asked, "Did I get the answer right?"

Dick said: "If you get the answer right, you will skip the next round. If you get the wrong answer, you will lose this round."

Liang Xi said: "Two sentences are related to Aristotle, one is related to Socrates, and one is related to Plato."

Dick: "Sorry, the referee shouldn't have redundant conversations with the guests, please forget what we just talked about."

Liang Xi said indifferently: "I will despise you from the soul."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you."

More than half of the people answered correctly this time, and 10 guests received food, among which 5 guests ate dark dishes.Two of the five players also ate the dark food in the first round. This time they couldn't hold back, took the ice water in front of them and drank it, and walked around the scene in a violent mood.Everyone felt that it was inappropriate to go on like this, and it took so many people to get two heads and 100 million chips.There are still 1600 million chips, how many rounds do you have to eat?Maybe it will be strangled to death.

The patience of the guests was beyond the expectation of Dick's program team, but in any case, the chips must be divided in the afternoon.

Dick said: "Since the progress is too slow, we have to modify the game. Now there are two ways to distribute the chips. The first one withdraws part of the chips according to the proportion of each person's chips. For example, number 1 is 100 million, number 2 is 200 million. The gap is 75 1, the result of the calculation, 2% each of No. 25 and No. 1600. The second is the per capita distribution method, 22 is allocated to 72 people, each of which is 72. As far as I know, there are nine guests whose funds are less than [-]. Therefore, if you choose the second method of per capita distribution, the nine guests will be expelled from the Blood Moon invitation. So I thought of the third method."

Dick said: "Voluntary distribution method: everyone can donate their own chips voluntarily. You can donate more, you can donate less, or you don't even need to donate. The first step is to select the median. Note that it is the median. The current guests There are 22 people, the number of chips owned by the 11th guest is the median, we assume the median is 100 million, of course I will not tell you in advance what the median is, everyone guesses for themselves.”

"In the second step, the maximum donation amount is 699 million. Those who donate the highest amount can be exempted from the bill, but if two people donate the same amount, they will not be exempted from the bill. If it does not exceed the median, the bill will not be exempted."

"The third step is that the donation amount exceeds or is less than 10% of the median, between 90 and 110 million, and the donation amount needs to be doubled."

"In the fourth step, the person with the lowest donation will pay 10 plus 3 times the donation amount."

After Dick made the announcement, he asked, "Do you have any comments on this rule change?"

Everyone has an opinion, and everyone has no opinion.As a result of the fight among the rich around the exemption of donations, it is very likely that some people will become poor overnight.The middle class fights around the median, and some of them will become poor overnight.The poor will become impoverished overnight if they fight around the minimum quota.How to make the best choice according to your net worth?

Relatively speaking, the rich have more choices. They can donate a minimum of 13 chips and pay 13 chips.Trying to lose 13 to escape this adventure.A donation of [-] is acceptable to the rich and even the middle class.Is it really?
