The Book of Appreciation

The two parties made an appointment to gamble in Macau three days later, and Wu Di stepped into the house before nine o'clock. . Seeing the big family sitting in the living room watching TV, a feeling of happiness and warmth surged from the bottom of his heart. No matter what he has experienced and how long he has been wandering, this place is always the warmest harbor.

After a brief exchange with my parents, Wu Di's phone rang again, who is calling so late?He was too lazy to get up, and ordered Wu Dan to get him the phone, but the big lazy made the small lazy, stared twice, and finally the green snake took the phone.

Dongfang Lie?Wu Di sat up straight suddenly, why did Dongfang suddenly think of calling him?Did he know that he was going to bet against Brown's uncle, his gambling master?

"Xiao Wu, can you go up?"

Dongfang Lie didn't talk nonsense, and asked him directly if he could go. It seemed that something important had happened, but if he could call to notify him, what would be the important event?

"The rules of the Antique Gambling Contest have been announced. I have sent the address to your mailbox. Please take a look and we will discuss it later."

Wu Di was startled, so fast?What are those ten antiques?

"Only one piece was announced today, but I guess people in the domestic collector circle will go crazy when they get the news. You should take a look first."

Are people in the domestic collection industry going crazy?What will it be baby?Wu Di quickly ran to the bedroom and opened the notebook.After waiting anxiously for tens of seconds, he clicked on the mailbox, and there was indeed an unread email.

The email is very simple, there is only one address, Wu Di took a deep breath, and clicked on it lightly.

This is a dedicated gaming site with an English interface, and when it comes up, there are big red fonts. The words "Global Antique Gambling Contest" seem to be drenched in blood, flashing and twinkling, making his eyes hurt.

Wu Di hastily browsed through the introduction, and it is similar to what Duken said. There are a total of ten precious antiques. As the target of the second round of competition, they will be announced in the next ten days. The Ming Dynasty rare book of "Da Dian"!

Wu Di took a deep breath, "Yongle Dadian"!Still 75 volumes!How can this be?Where did they find these treasures?

"Yongle Dadian" was compiled in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a Chinese encyclopedia-style collection of documents, with 22,937 volumes, 11095 volumes, and about 3.7 million words.This treasure house of ancient culture has collected seven to eight thousand kinds of books from all dynasties before the Ming Dynasty. As a world-renowned encyclopedia, it fully demonstrates the glorious achievements of ancient Han culture.

The fate of this unparalleled canon is ill-fated, and it has experienced countless mysteries and wars. There are only more than 55 volumes in existence. 45 volumes in the US and 38 volumes in the UK.As far as Wu Di knows, after several generations of all-out acquisitions in the Huaxia collection circle, there are only 226 volumes.

However, this time they actually took out 75 volumes of the Yongle Canon all at once!Wu Di exhaled a long breath. If these are the parts that have never been seen in the world, how much sensation will it cause in China and the world?No, it doesn't need to be all non-mortal parts, ****, even if all of them are known, then you have to desperately snatch them back!

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then looked down.The contest was held from September 21st to September [-]st, which lasted for three weeks.The most important thing is that on July [-]th, ten days before the registration starts, these ten treasures will be on public display for ten days!

The next step is to obtain the qualifications for the competition. A total of 320 large and small casinos around the world have obtained the recommendation qualifications. Among them, the top 600 large casinos each have ten recommendation places, and the subsequent ones can recommend one to five people according to their strength. wait.If all these places are filled, the number of participants will reach a staggering [-]!

One thousand and six hundred people!Even if half of the first level is killed, there are still 600 left. How many of them are professional gamblers who got in through various relationships?

Rules, the role of game rules is too critical at this time!

According to the rules of the competition, each participant should prepare three pieces of antiques with a single value of more than 500 million US dollars. There is no limit to the category of antiques, but the value determination needs to be based on the appraisal results of ten international appraisal masters!

In the first level, the sponsor will provide 40 pieces of various antiques, and the contestants will conduct on-site identification.3 people enter each time, and each antique has [-] minutes of identification time. If you answer the name and age correctly, you will get points. If you score [-] points, you will enter the next round. Will output to a piece that comes with antiques.

Wu Di sneered twice. There are 600 people, 500 million dollars worth of antiques, and a passing mark of 500. It seems that this is going to put everyone in the second round!Thousands of people rob ten antiques, and only ten people will win in the end. Even if each of the remaining loses only one antique, the organizer will get as many as thousands of antiques!One piece is worth [-] million US dollars, this, what a frightening fortune this is?

Now, the most critical thing is the rules of the second round!

Wu Di took a deep breath, turned a page, and squinted his eyes to read carefully.

In the second round, there is a competition for ten rare antiques. For those who pass the first round, three antiques can be used as bets. Moreover, each contestant has a theoretical chance to get ten rare antiques at the same time!In other words, as long as your three antiques are not lost, you can sign up to compete for any one of these ten antiques!

There is no problem with this part, it is nothing more than one more chance than before, the key is how to determine the final winner next!

The competition method is stud, and the competition adopts a numbered lottery, one-on-one match system!

One on one!Wu Di almost burst into laughter, one-on-one, is there anyone in this world who is his opponent?One-on-one, who else can compare with his clairvoyance?

He resisted the urge to call Master, lit a cigarette, and looked down excitedly.

Each round of the game lasts three hours, and each player's bet is 500 million US dollars in chips. At the end of the game, the player with the most chips wins.The loser's conference will confiscate the antiques used as collateral for the gambling.

In a round with an odd number of people, a lucky bye will be produced. The remaining four players will no longer play one-on-one games, but will participate in a five-hour gamble to decide the final round. the winner.

Sure enough, it's not that simple. In the end, we still have to adopt the melee mode. However, the number of people has changed from five to four. Will there be any change in difficulty?

Wu Di frowned, but then let go of it. Compared with the one-on-one game in front of them, compared with the five-player one-table game they originally guessed, the accidental surname has increased countless times, and the people in the casino will not be so good. Fortunately, every antique can have two or three people enter the final round, right?

However, if they changed the rules like this, the number of gamblers he and Dongfang Lie guessed must be much less than the actual number of gamblers. So, ten?Or twenty?Or even send in more, one hundred or two hundred?

He shivered, if, if they want to be sure, they just randomly stuff one or two hundred people in, then what a joke!

He looked back and looked at it again, and suddenly remembered that each of the top 100 companies could only recommend ten players at most, so he felt relieved.Even if the casinos that organize this competition are not the five initially envisioned, there will never be more than ten. That is to say, the number of people who can be admitted in the end will not exceed 50 at most. Moreover, if many well-known collectors Finding these casinos will also take up some of the places, so it is estimated that no more than [-] people will be sent in in the end.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then, a thought flashed through him, no, what if their people were recommended by other casinos, and then they got the answer to the first level from them?your sister!If this is the case, I, I... I have spent a long time, but I haven't found any good solution...

After explaining the competition rules, there are two remarks at the bottom of the page, the first one is the antique redemption system.

Each antique that loses to the competition is allowed to be redeemed at one-fifth of the value of the antique after the competition. Of course, if the winner is selected as a prize in the third round, then you will only consider yourself unlucky .

The second one caught his eye, the reporting system! The 320 casinos supervise each other. Once they find that professional gamblers use cheating methods to participate in the competition, they can report to the supervision agency specially set up for the competition. The casino has to pay another fine of up to 1000 million US dollars!

This one is so critical! 320 casinos supervise each other, I'm afraid no professional gambler can easily sneak into the game, right?Even if there are some interest alliances or tacit understanding games, the situation is much better than what Wu Di guessed just now!It seems that these casinos are still very fair!

After reading it carefully, he found nothing missing, so he clicked on the next page.

The rules of the third round have changed again, because those who can enter the third round are the winners of the second round, so the betting capital of each player in the third round will no longer be the antiques they carry, but must use the second round. The treasured antique won by the wheel is used as a bet!Moreover, except for the winning No.1, the bets of the rest of the players must be returned to the conference organizer free of charge, and the one, two or three winning players cannot choose these nine antiques as prizes.

As compensation, the rewards for the top three contestants this time are very generous. No.1 can randomly choose 2 pieces of antiques from the first and second rounds entered into the competition prize pool as prizes!By analogy, No.3 can choose [-] pieces, and No.[-] can choose [-] pieces!
