Almighty painter

Chapter 535 Not ready and ready

On the other hand, mathematical expectations and what actually happens are two different things.

The probability of 10% does not mean that it will definitely come out after drawing it ten times. Each watering is a separate event.

The improvement of finger painting proficiency can lead to an increase in the probability of winning prizes.

However, every time Bai Art waters water, the bonus of the lottery probability is simply an increase in the success rate of the next watering.

It will not reflect back on the finger smearing technique mastered by Gu Weijing.

These are two different things.

For Baiyi trees, there are only two results for each irrigation.

If you are very lucky, a new branch of chicken and dog will be opened to ascend to the sky, directly raising the skill to legendary level.

Otherwise, nothing happens and the technical level continues to remain the same.

Gu Weijing didn't know——

Taking the risk of tens of thousands of experience points and getting nothing, just like a gambler hoping to get rich overnight.

It is better to directly add these experience points to oil painting techniques, or wait for the breakthrough in sketching and Chinese painting.

Which choice is wiser?

Of course, for Lv.6 skills, points of free experience cannot bring about a super qualitative change like upgrading a small motorcycle to a spaceship like a new legendary skill.

But it is at least equivalent to replacing the car engine with a larger turbine and adding 50 horsepower. This is a considerable improvement.

Gu Weijing originally thought that it would be an impossible goal to highlight the legendary finger painting skill tree before the Singapore Biennale.

No expectations, no disappointments.

He originally considered a five-to-one distribution, but the highest priority was still given to main items such as oil paintings and sketches.

Every additional point is a real improvement and a further improvement.

Very practical.

After you have gained enough experience points for five waterings, you can put one extra experience point into watering.

Take your time like this.

It's best to have surprises. Without surprises, it won't delay the improvement of his painting skills.

But when I went to the Shwedagon Pagoda and looked at the paintings, my oil painting techniques were immediately upgraded on the spot.

This was something Gu Weijing didn't expect at all.

Suddenly there are 10,000 extra experience points available for distribution.

Instead, it became a kind of happy worry, which made Gu Weijing start to worry about gains and losses.

Theoretically, he should be able to draw at least six prizes, and there is about a half chance that he can draw the finger.

For many people, this is enough to take a gamble.

However, Gu Weijing's character is not very fond of playing this kind of half-risk stud game when there are other important techniques waiting for allocation and selection.

It is one thing to have a relaxed attitude and feel that you have made all the preparations, or you just have a lot of experience points to spare. It is one thing to pour water according to the plan.

Being carried away by the temptation of legendary skills, with red eyes, under very uncertain circumstances, he squeezed out all the spare experience points.

It's another thing to prepare to put on your underwear and compete with God to win or lose.

In essence, this is a gambler's mentality.

Or rather.

Perhaps because Myanmar is so chaotic, Gu Weijing hates anything related to "gambling" from the bottom of his heart.

He had heard about the appearance and related news reports of those casinos opened specifically for Chinese people in his hometown or in places like Sihanoukville in neighboring Cambodia.

Everyone went crazy.

hard to imagine.

This kind of "brotherly" country has been ranked among the least developed regions in the United Nations all year round and is receiving subsidies.

The starting price of a taxi at the door is as high as 15 US dollars per kilometer, which is higher than that in Manhattan, New York. A meal of bulk hot pot on the street will cost 3000 US dollars, and you may have to wait for several hours.

Why US dollars?

Sorry, business is so good, so we only charge US dollars.

Beyond the morbid prosperity lies morbid depravity.

Drugs, kidnappings, shootings and human trafficking, blood-stained dollars fell one after another on the gambling table, like a bloody river flowing from the world to hell.

Everyone spends money as if tomorrow is the end of the world.

No.

When a person becomes a gambler, yesterday was the end of the world.

Dog shops, online gambling companies, programmers who were coaxed into building websites, high-rollers, bosses, horsemen and dog gamblers, and even real estate speculators, everyone is like hyenas biting and fighting wildly in the criminal capital.

Some people are ignorant and fearless, and some people believe that they are the "special one".

Many people who come here, the moment they get out of the taxi, are extremely sure that they are the most ferocious and smartest hyena, and others are the fat sheep in his mouth.

And it turns out.

The vast majority of them, whether they are hyenas or fat sheep, are just pigs raised by real predators. In the face of real violence, they will be torn to pieces without discrimination.

The scariest thing about gambling is not that you know you will lose.

The reason is that you always feel that you are lucky today and can win.

But gamble until the end.

You have become numb to winning and losing, and you have just become a puppet of gambling.

In "War and Peace", the young Count Laustov started betting from one ruble and lost his grand mansion in Moscow and thousands of acres of estate in just one night.

The shop owner next door to the book gallery once went to Sihanoukville to investigate in order to consider following the real estate speculation business.

He told Gu Weijing that he saw a fat old aunt in a floral skirt walking into the casino with a bottle of Nongfu Spring mineral water and fruit bread in one hand and a fitness bag in the other.

She threw rolls of thousand-dollar dollars onto the gambling table.

Maybe that package contained money worth the entire family's life.

But regardless of winning or losing at the gambling table.

The old aunt didn't even have an expression on her face.

There is no ecstasy of victory, no sadness of losing money. It is not the unrestrainedness of having a fortune and not caring about winning or losing, but the numbness that has become dead and inhuman.

He did the math.

That afternoon.

The opponent's highest winnings were approximately $6.

But when he left the casino, the handbag containing two hundred thousand dollars was empty.

Things like this happen every day on the land beneath our feet.

All gambling behavior, as long as it lasts long enough, has negative expected returns.

Not to mention those small casinos and online gambling that specialize in harming "meat pigs". Some so-called "fair and professional casinos" in Las Vegas claim to only make money through rake, and even claim that the theoretical statistical probability of gamblers vs. bankers is about 49.6% vs. 50.4%, which is very close to the - probability. Even though he is alive, he can still be like a man-eating demon, eating up gamblers until they lose all their money and not even the bones and dregs are left.

Don't talk nonsense about how you can win money with good skills and good luck.

There are winners and losers in gambling, but when a person is addicted to gambling, he often has the only option to go bankrupt.

No one is advanced.

Even a legendary poker player like Tom Dawn, who was once the most powerful star in the professional poker world and won hundreds of millions in a single game of poker at his peak, a person who can reach the prototype level of a gambling god, is now being chased around for debt collection.

Gu Weijing knew that it might be a bit of a fuss to elevate the Baiyi Tree lottery to the level of gambling.

after all.

Owing a debt that cannot be owed in Myanmar will lead to death.

It’s not like he couldn’t use the “finger smearing” technique and his whole family would be put in sacks and sink into the Yangon River in the middle of the night.

At best.

The worst result is just a waste of 10,000 experience points, which seems to be an acceptable result.

If you convince yourself a little, this kind of thing can be regarded as something similar to drawing cards in an online game.

But Gu Weijing knew that this was different from drawing cards in online games.

He is not just using insignificant pocket money for entertainment. Free experience points are a resource that is more important to him than money and is more difficult to obtain.

He cannot be treated lightly.

The young monk said that Gu Weijing was a man whose whole body was burning with angry flames. He looked like a calm, gentle and gentle young man, but in his heart he actually had some tiny things that were different from ordinary people. Moral and stubborn.

He always feels that the distribution principle should be the principle.

The matter itself is quite innocuous.

But I am afraid that Gu Weijing knows deep down that what he is really worried about is that precisely because of the chaos in Myanmar, there are too many temptations to sin in the surrounding environment.

He compromises a little here and wants to take a gamble there.

slowly.

Gu Weijing is no longer the same person he was at the beginning.

He was originally a little wizened and naughty boy.

Every famous literary and artistic figure has a personality that is somewhat different from ordinary people.

Degas and Quentin are both very famous foot fetishists, Ni Zan has mysophobia, and Feng Zikai likes to eavesdrop.

Lucian Freud, one of the greatest British oil painting masters, was a crazy gambler. All career choices in his life were extremely gambling. Every time he made money, he would squander it on the gambling table in the shortest possible time. Once the money was gone, he continued to paint at a fast pace in order to pay off his gambling debts.

(Picture: Freud's "Self-Portrait")
Freud was immersed in this attitude towards life. He said in an interview: "Life is like galloping or jumping through fire. It is a bit beyond reason, but it makes you feel strongly that you are still alive."

If it were Floyd, the first minute he got the experience points, he would have already studded.

Gu Weijing is just the opposite.

and so.

He became more and more confused.

"The painting is good, right? You helped me with the transition of "The Good Luck Orphanage in the Sun", and I helped you with the magnolia flowers in "The Girl Reading Poems for Cats". We are a tacit male and female partner. I think Singapore The organizing committee of the Biennale should not care about our small mutual help. We can consider co-signing, or we can simply not tell them.”

Gu Weijing was thinking wildly in his mind, but he was joking with Shengzi.

"When you feel sure that you are going to submit the manuscript, girl, remember to ask Mr. Gu to make a few corrections for you. The fee is not high. Just kiss me and treat me to the same steak as last time."

"it is good."

Sakai Katsuko stood on tiptoes again and kissed Gu Weijing's cheek seriously.

"It's okay to kiss you, but it will be an hour or two before we eat the steak. I want to finish the painting now."

Ms. Sakai turned her attention to the drawing board.

"The painting in front of you now... is my submission to the Singapore Biennale this year."

Gu Weijing was originally immersed in difficulty in choosing.

Hearing what Shengzi said, he was stunned.

He stayed for two seconds and then asked in confusion: "Why? We still have some time."

Now the opening time of the exhibition is getting closer and closer.

But there is still a certain amount of practice time before the deadline for audition submissions.

Deduct the necessary preparation time required for the exhibition.

In the past, the final exhibition shortlist would only be announced in July.

The Singapore Biennale is also a very mature biennale in Asia. The venues and personnel are first-class, and the organizing committee is very experienced.

In the past, it was required that physical works must be submitted directly.

After the epidemic, in order to reduce the cross-border flow of various exhibits, the painting group and the sculpture group all have to submit photos of their works to the official email of the organizing committee.

Make sure you are successfully shortlisted before sending the actual item.

The entire audition process has been compressed.

Theoretically, the organizing committee will finalize the list of exhibitors one week before the exhibition opens.

Of course.

In the end, it was all fine-tuning actions such as lighting settings, slogan introduction, and booth negotiation. It would be impossible for a normal person to submit an article so late.

But Gu Weijing felt that he still had time.

He himself is very thoughtful and plans to paint at least twenty paintings of "The Luck Orphanage in the Sun" first, after he has mastered it over and over again.

Then submit your work to the organizing committee before the buzzer, so that no improvement in technique is wasted and all is reflected in the exhibition.

Originally, due to repeated postponements during the epidemic, the competition for submissions to this biennale was fierce.

Some people have been working hard for several years to participate in the exhibition.

Of course he had to squeeze this little time into his hands.

A good and diligent student like Gu Weijing was criticized by Gu Tongxiang when he submitted papers early during school exams when he was a child.

If you don’t take advantage of enough time, wouldn’t that mean you suffer a loss?

finished? What does it mean to be done? There will be no inspection after it is done!
Checked? What does inspection mean? Once the inspection is completed, it will not be inspected again! If you find that a word is misspelled or the answer sheet is omitted, just check it a few times and you will get the points back!
Submitting the paper in advance means that you don't pay enough attention to the exam. Mr. Gu has always firmly held this view.

When Gu Weijing walked to the easel, he was still sighing that Shengzi's progress was so fast that each painting looked different. After only six paintings, he was completely transformed.

Why all of a sudden.

She has decided to submit this painting?
"I think in another month, your painting skills will be more mature, you will be better prepared in many places, you will be more proficient in color matching, and your brushstrokes will be more tolerant, including me... I just tried many places for the first time. The processing, the processing is still a bit raw. If I paint it again, I can do better in many places. "

Gu Weijing advised.

"No. You are right. Maybe the color palette of this painting will not be the best, the brushstrokes will not be the best, and even your technique will not be the best."

Shengzi smiled, took Gu Weijing's hand and put it on her chest.

"But I know very well that right now, at this moment, my heart is in the right place."
