Survivorship Bias

    Tengtang Ying knew this time, Shen Ti really didn't win An Wujiu at all.

    Being blocked by Shen Ti like this, An Wu Jiu put aside the welcome thing for the time being and started looking for other players.

    In the lobby, many players are entangled in the formation of a team, and they can't make up their minds for a while.

    Suddenly, the voice of a rabbit appeared in the hall again.

    "Hey, why aren't you in a hurry! It's been three minutes."

    An Wujiu looked up at the time.

    "Otherwise, I'd better tell you another reward for the winner of the warm-up match. I thought it would be discussed after the team formation."

    As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Erci suddenly found that there was a small golden crown symbol above An Wujiu, it was shining brightly, it was floating above his head, it was very conspicuous.

    Not only him, but also the heads of several other people in the hall, a total of nine.

    "Did you see, these nine people are the winners just now, they not only hold 1.5 votes in the voting, but also have a very big advantage, that is, these people have higher chips."

    This is a gambling game, and chips must be one of the most important parts of it.

    So after the rabbit finished saying this, the people in the hall immediately ran around like ants in a mess. The goal was very clear, that is, to follow these nine people with small crowns.

    Many people came to An Wujiu, but An Wujiu knew that they only needed two people.

    To his surprise, Maguire, who lost to him, also tried to join their team.

    "Let me in, how about it?" Maguire's words are heart-warming, "The lowest level of gambling is chance, the better one is skill, and the one with the highest winning rate But it’s just a thousand. Think about it, with me, you must be even more powerful in the next game, and we will definitely be the first team.”

    An Wujiu did not speak.

    Of course he knew that Maguire would be a powerful weapon to win the game, but the key is that once they don't become the first team in points, he will betray the entire team and stay on his own.

    This type of person is dangerous.

    Shen Ti stretched out his hand and tugged at Maguire's front. The moment he saw his name, Shen Ti raised the corner of his mouth.

    "Sorry, I don't think you fit in with our group." He smiled and looked very kind.

    "No match?" This reason was extremely ridiculous in Maguire's eyes, "What do you mean!"

    Shen Ti was too lazy to answer, and directly made a gesture of impossibility to him, asking him to find another home.

    "You're alone!" Maguire still didn't give up, and even grabbed An Wujiu's arm, "You say it!"

    "Let go." Wu You walked up to him with a cold face.

    Shen Ti was too lazy to argue with him, and was about to pull his hand off, but An Wujiu did it himself.

    In the hall, there was only a scream, and everyone looked towards them.

    "You'll **** regret it!"

    Wu You stared at An Wujiu and saw a look of disgust on his face.

    It's really not the same as before.

    The music in the lobby came to an end. Seeing Maguire's back leaving, Zhong Yirou raised her eyebrows suspiciously, "Why don't you want him?"

    "This person is not easy to deal with." Yang Erci also knew Maguire, and she still remembered how Maguire betrayed his teammates at that time.

    "What should I do then?" Tengtang Ying looked around, "Hey, why don't we go find Zhou Yijue, he's pretty good too."

    "Wait."

    An Wujiu stopped her.

    Wu You looked at him, "Brother Wu Jiu, do you think he is unreliable?"

    "There are reasons for this, but not all of them."

    Tengtang Sakura was puzzled, "But the other groups have already gathered, so if we don't act quickly, we can only choose the rest of them."

    Zhong Yirou looked around, and indeed, the other five teams were almost all in full swing, but they were the only ones who rejected several of them, so it was deserted now.

    An Wujiu looked around and found the little girl Noah who was drowned out by all the adults. People came and went, she was crowded with nowhere to stay, she could only lean against the wall on one side of the hall, her eyes panicked.

    “I want to choose a teammate.” An Wujiu said to everyone, “I don’t know what your opinion is.”

    Shen Ti has been observing An Wu Jiao, and he had already found out what he was looking for, so he had already guessed, "That little girl."

    Zhong Yirou walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Are you sure you want this?"

    An Wujiu nodded, "No way, she's so young, we don't bring her over, and in the end it's left behind."

    "But..." Toudou Sakura felt that An Wujiu was too worried, "Such a young child can't gamble at all, and won't drag everyone down..."

    Wu You didn't say a word, he was a child himself.

    Nan Shan said with a smile: "I agree, doing good deeds is what it should be."

    Neither Yang Erci nor Zhong Yirou made a direct statement, it was a default.

    So An Wu Jiao made up his mind, walked through the crowd, walked towards Noah, and finally squatted in front of her.

    "Noah, did you succeed in forming a team?"

    Noah shook his head.

    “If you don’t have a team you must go to,” An Wujiu stretched out her left hand to her, spread it out in front of her, and gave her the right to choose, “Then go with brother.”

    Noah looked at An Wu Jiu's pure and transparent eyes, and put his hand on An Wu Jiu's hand without hesitation.

    "Thank you bro."

    “You’re welcome.” An Wujiu smiled at her, then took her hand and led her back to the team.

    Seeing him come back with the little girl, the rest of the team welcomes her. Although being teammates with a child under ten years old is completely suicidal in the game, this It's an innocent style. No matter what time it comes, he can't wait to die.

    "Maguire was accepted by that team." Yang Erci looked at a team not far away, and the people on the other side seemed to be much more active than here, because everyone got Maguire The general scrambled for a high five.

    Tengtang Sakura felt that the team on her side was too dead, and when she turned her head, An Wujiu just looked up at the countdown.

    "You are not worried." She couldn't help asking.

    "Don't worry, there's nothing to blame." Zhong Yirou pulled out a palm-sized comb from nowhere, and combed her long curly hair with great interest, while Nanshan stayed on the spot. After practicing Tai Chi, the whole group looked very strange in the eyes of outsiders.

    Shen Ti knew what to do, got close to An Wujiu, and whispered, "The last place, you are waiting for the rest."

    An Wujiu turned his face to the side, his expression was as calm as ever, he saw Shen Ti had another lollipop in his mouth, a small piece of cheek bulged, but he didn't know when he took it out .

    "You're eating sugar again."

    "Want to eat?" Shen Ti deliberately took out the one in his mouth and handed it to him to tease him.

    “No.” An Wujiu pushed his hand away, looked up at the time.

    Last thirty seconds.

    Almost there.

    As he expected, the other five teams in the lobby have basically been formed, and only the last team hesitated among the two candidates.

    "Why don't you fight for it?" Toutang Sakura pointed at the two and said, "Let's fight for the young one."

    An Wujiu shook his head, stared at the time, there were 20 seconds left, "Actually, I think the people in our team are already pretty good."

    Tengtang Sakura thinks he is too confident, "But we have to form a team of 9 people. If we don't take the initiative to find the last person, we can only pick up the rest and distribute them."

    An Wujiu of course understood what Toutang Sakura meant, so he looked at her and spoke calmly.

    "The format of this game promotes a very bad mechanic."

    "Bad mechanism?" Toudou Sakura was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

    Shen Ti smiled, "It means that there will be a lot of two or five boys appearing, do you see? The more people who seem to have potential in gambling games, the more competitive they will be here. There will be many teams to choose them, and once a team has reached some kind of secret agreement with this sought-after guy, and let him go to another team, what do you think the result will be?"

    Shen Ti's remarks opened up a new perspective on the game.

    Tengtang Sakura fell into deep thought, "If this person really exists...then he will definitely betray his team, but how can he betray? In this way, he won't be able to get many points by himself, so it's not worth the loss."

    “You forgot one thing.” An Wujiu looked at the middle-aged fat uncle who was repeatedly rejected not far away, “Points.”

    Speaking, he turned his face to look at Tengtang Sakura, "If the essence of this game is gambling, why do you have to set up a link to exchange points, and there are relatively complicated exchange regulations."

    After An Wujiu finished speaking, he ran towards the fat uncle who had repeatedly bumped into the wall and finally ended up alone.

    Todo Sakura suddenly realized that she had always been caught in the blind spot of the rules of the game.

    She thought this game was a gambling battle of team fighting, but in fact it was not only that, the exchange area might be another battlefield. Not sure on whose head.

    For them, the current team situation is not bad, the last person must choose carefully, rather than being placed in the eyeliner, it is better to wait and see.

    It is safer to be left with no one who is obviously wanted by any group.

    "But what if this uncle was arranged to pretend that no one wanted him?"

    The time was over and the music stopped, and the hall became extraordinarily quiet for a moment.

    Shen Ti put his arms around his chest, smiled, and looked at An Wujiu's figure.

    “He started to observe from the beginning. If he had too many contacts with other teams, An Wugui would not choose.”

    In the last time, An Wujiu brought this unselected uncle, and the other party was so grateful, he thanked An Wujiu again and again for taking in him.

    "Not a shelter."

    An Wujiu said to him seriously: "We all need you as a teammate."

    Uncle was stunned for a moment, wiped the sweat from his palm on his pants, shook An Wujiu's hand with both hands, and then another person continued to shake hands, "I will do my best Whatever it is, it will definitely not hold everyone back!"

    The voice of the holy voice came from the hall.

    "The team is completed and is being updated."

    Suddenly, An Wujiu and the others appeared a red bandage in front of their foreheads.

    Zhong Yirou was afraid that the automatic tie would not look good, so she raised her hand and adjusted it, "Can't you tie it around your neck?"

    An Wujiu looked at the other teams and found that each team had a different color, they were red, Zhou Yijue's team was purple, and Maguire's team had yellow laces.

    "Do you like the decorations of each of your teams?"

    The voice of the rabbit is heard again.

    "This is a gift we specially prepared for you. There are six teams in total, so we chose six colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple to represent you."

    The rabbit's voice is always high-pitched and mean, and has a contemptuous attitude of staring at all beings, "Now you can elect the captain, the vote is only once, before I stop, everyone should be well Take your chance."

    There is almost no suspense in the voting of the group where An Wujiu is, except An Wujiu himself gave the vote to Yang Erci, and everyone else gave it to An Wujiu.

    “Why give it to me?” Yang Erci looked at An Wujiu’s chest with a small wing badge and asked.

    An Wujiu looked down and looked up again, "I think, if I want to participate in as many games as possible, it means that I will have less time to redeem points. As a captain, you must participate in every point exchange."

    This is true.

    But now the situation is settled.

    Zhong Yirou reassured everyone, "It doesn't matter, the captain's badge is in blameless hands, everyone is most at ease, right?"

    The crowd nodded.

    Apart from peace, they can't think of any one person who would selflessly protect the interests of all.

    The premise is that there is no change in this innocent.

    An Wujiu observes other teams.

    As he expected, unlike their team, the election of other teams relies on the speeches of the candidates to move people's hearts and gain votes.

    Maguire and Zhou Yijue, who were in the warm-up match with him before, also became the captains of their teams accordingly.

    In this way, they will have to face it.

    "It's less than six hours away." Rabbit laughed after all the teams had chosen their captains, "When you're ready, you can start."

    After he finished speaking, almost everyone went to grab the table of those gambling events.

    Zhong Yirou stretched her waist and probed the bottom of her teammates, "What events do you know? Do you know how to play poker?"

    Wu You nodded, "I will."

    Nan Shan said no, "But I can learn, it should be easy to do with the rules."

    Zhong Yirou nodded, took Yang Erci's hand, and leaned on her shoulder, "Sister, go for a walk with me and see what others are doing."

    Yang Erci pushed Zhong Yirou's head away, her seaweed-like curls exuding the fragrance of water lilies.

    Although she was not allowed to rely on her, Yang Erci still pushed and left with Zhong Yirou, and went to other tables to inquire about news.

    "I know most of it." Toutang Sakura put her hand to her mouth, "I'll tell you a little secret, I used to be a dealer in an underground casino for a while."

    "Is that the kind of **** dealer, the dealer who deals cards online?" Wu You asked such a very serious question with the coldest expression.

    "It's not." Todo Sakura explained, "I'm only part-time, I can only play at the small poker table, and the big ones won't let me play at all, but I also learned some shuffling and cutting cards. method."

    Shen Ti raised his chin at her, "Teach me."

    "You can learn it well, it will take a long time to practice."

    "I actually know a little..." The uncle wiped his sweat and talked to Wu You and the others, discussing how to divide the labor and what kind of gambling projects they choose.

    Shen Ti did not continue, he looked at An Wujiu and found that since he was elected captain, he has been silent for a long time.

    "What's wrong?" Shen Ti asked.

    "We're going to gamble now, right." An Wu Jiu's expression was a little uneasy, he looked up at the countdown, and the rabbit who didn't announce the new content.

    "Yeah."

    An Wujiu turned his face and looked at Shen Ti calmly, "But don't you think we are missing the most important thing?"

    Most important…

    Shen Ti was suddenly enlightened by An Wugui.

    Yes.

    He put his palms to his mouth and shouted towards the ceiling, "Hey, the altar."

    The rabbit's voice appeared, "What's wrong? My lovely player."

    Shen Ti put down his arms and shrugged, "You didn't even give us the initial chips, how do you bet? What do you get if you lose?"

    "Chip..."

    The rabbit giggled all of a sudden, louder and louder.

    "You finally remembered."

    Standing in the hall watching, impatiently preparing to start gambling, and even those players who were ready to go up to the second floor to see what was going on in the exchange area, all stopped and waited for the next post from Rabbit.

    Maguire, not far away, also joined the conversation, "What do you mean? How can you bet without chips?"

    "Of course there is." Rabbit said with a natural tone, "Don't worry, do you know why there is a team game in gambling? Obviously some teammates do not participate in the gambling."

    An Wujiu suddenly had a bad premonition.

    "The chips we have prepared for you are the most natural and most valuable."

    The rabbit's tone sank, "That's all of you here, everyone."

    "You are born with different values, higher or lower, as I hinted before, the warm-up winners have more chips because they have won and have higher Value. So in this round of games, each of your lives can be used as a bargaining chip."

    It turns out that this is the so-called "higher chip".

    After finishing speaking, a series of striking and rolling numbers appeared above each player's head at the same time.

    The number has not stopped, which means that the player's specific chip number has not been announced.

    "Players participating in the game, please remember, as long as you join the game, any one of your team can take it for you, as long as your captain agrees, open the authorization. Be cautious and cautious, if you lose, you may really lose your life. After all, what you lose is not money, but the health of your teammates."

    "Such a good chip, use it or not, it's all up to you."
