Blackstone Code

2341

Humans are an intelligent species.

Intelligent species often have a selfish side.

This is different from social species such as ants. Ants absolutely obey the queen and follow the rules of biological instincts to perform their duties.

But humans are different. Humans are not only social animals, but also intelligent animals. Each individual is full of ordinary or incomprehensible "wisdom."

Especially when it comes to rules.

While human beings are constantly pushing new rules to maintain stable social operations, they are also racking their brains to exploit loopholes in the rules to make profits for themselves.

Take this "game" for example. The rules of the game are that everyone is an independent participant and must compete to determine the final winner.

But before the game even started, someone had already formed a team, which made Alice very annoyed.

She also realized that the situation she faced would become more complicated and worse.

There is a limit to what one person can do. It is impossible for one person to make complex traps or fortifications in a short time in the wild, but more people can.

Faced with the invitation from the person in front of her, Alice did not immediately agree or refuse. She was weighing the pros and cons.

The visitor did not urge her, but looked at her with a half-smile.

The game was brutal, but for many, it was truly life-saving.

That's true for Alice.

The same goes for the man in front of her.

As long as they can get to the end, they will get not only money, but also a ticket to freedom!

After thinking about it for a long time, Alice decided to go alone, "Sorry, I don't like fighting with others. You know, it's hard for people like us to trust others."

The man nodded and left voluntarily. They were all killers, top killers.

They don't believe anyone but themselves.

The bones of those who believed in their companions in the training camp are now about to rot, and their survival means they have taken that step.

But Alice quickly found the organizing committee of the show and reported the incident.

The organizing committee also attaches great importance to it. Before the game has even started, the company has received bets from all over the world, and the total amount of bets has exceeded 5 billion.

And this number is rising at an exaggerated rate!

This game uses a dynamic odds adjustment method, and anyone can place a bet at any time, as long as the game is not over.

But the sooner you place your bet, the greater the profit. For example, everyone's odds are now one hundred to one.

But as soon as the game starts, the odds will be quickly adjusted to match the players' performance in the game.

The fluctuation of odds will not affect the locked odds for each bet. Each bet is an independent odds.

The entire odds adjustment method has a compensation mechanism. For example, when someone is injured, that person's odds will increase.

The more serious the injury, the higher the odds.

If someone is severely injured, unable to move, and may die at any time, his odds may rise to hundreds or even thousands for one!

The greater the likelihood of winning the game, the lower the odds.

The opposite is also true, the less likely you are to win the game, the higher the odds.

This set of floating algorithms is simply a favorite among dog gamblers. They are willing to use the same cost to gamble for the maximum return, even if they take more risks.

Betting will increase after the game starts!

There are only over one million bets on Alice, and the organizing committee believes that she will attract more bets after the game starts.

As one of the few female participants, she will be at a "disadvantage" among a large group of men. Her odds are bound to rise, and many people are waiting to place bets when her odds rise.

The person who currently carries the most chips on his back is over 100 million. A "King of Gladiators" from the Grand Arena has created a strong record of seven consecutive victories.

Once the odds for such a person start to fluctuate, they will inevitably drop quickly to a reasonable range, and it is basically impossible to return to odds of 100 to 1 or more.

So many people bet on him in advance to get the highest odds.

But among the more than two hundred contestants, it’s really hard to say who will make it to the end!

The organizing committee attached great importance to the information provided by Alice and immediately held a discussion.

Some people agree with the spontaneous team formation behavior and believe that this is also a game method that complies with the rules. If team formation is not denied in the game, then team formation is allowed.

However, some people do not agree with the behavior of team formation. If they support team formation, they should allow team formation and accept team registration in the rules from the beginning.

Instead of only accepting registrations from independent game players, once these lone wolves and teams meet head-on, the winning rate will be very small.

Neither party could convince anyone, so they fed back the issue to Lynch. At this time, the only person who could make a decision was the founder of the game.

"Is there any problem with the battlefield material delivery system?"

he asks.

The person in charge of the organizing committee quickly responded, "No problem, Mr. Lynch. We can accurately place a certain item in a certain area, with an error of no more than fifty meters."

Lynch's previous idea was to deliver materials through the island's internal space. To put it simply, he would set up many lifting platforms and then lift things up from the ground.

However, when this idea came up, the construction of the island was nearly completed. There was no way to realize it on the isolated island, and it could only be realized on subsequent islands.

But as the island operations began, everyone also discovered a problem.

Lynch's idea was good, but the amount of work was too large and the equipment requirements were also very high.

So after a brief discussion, the delivery of materials was changed to "shelling" delivery.

A launching device similar to an artillery fires a supply box similar to a cannonball to a specific location.

There is a timer in this droplet that can be set before launch. After a period of time has passed, a small buffer parachute will be ejected from the tail to ensure that the supplies land safely.

There is a vent inside the "bomb", which not only helps stabilize the tail, but also cools an internal heater.

Once the shell is disabled and there is no air flowing through the vents, the heating wire will fuse the parachute cord.

This is to avoid it ending up hanging on the tree.

Generally speaking, this delivery system is very efficient, accurate and fast in testing.

It can be dropped to any corner of the island in two minutes at most.

After hearing this answer, Lynch told him his own answer, "Don't refuse, don't be active, tell everyone that they must abide by all the regulations above the rules, but if they are not listed, they don't have to abide by them."

"As for the balance between lone wolves and teams through material compensation, the larger the number of people in the team, the lower the quantity and level of materials they obtain."

"Put these into the odds compensation..."

The person in charge of the organizing committee was a little hesitant. He was the one who voted against it. "Mr. Lynch, if there is a team with a larger number of people...and strong strength, they may destroy the balance."

"Even if we reduce their material acquisition, their advantages are still very obvious."

"And the advantage in numbers is likely to cause a snowball effect..."

Lynch thought for a few seconds and then gave him an answer, "Add a temporary rule. Teams with more than five people will have a certain probability of being bombarded, one round every two hours."

“The larger the team, the more shells can be fired in a single bombardment.”

"If a very large group emerges, conduct a large-scale saturation bombardment of their area every three hours."

"As for the reason...the Island Command discovered a large-scale intruder and requested artillery support."

"In short, we need to maintain a good balance, but not be too rigid. If there are a large number of small teams, increase the supply of materials to the lone wolf contestants, give them hot weapons, and control the ammunition."

"Control the balance within the area and the balance of the entire island, I believe you can handle it!"

After thinking for a while, the person in charge of the organizing committee roughly understood Lynch's idea.

Even if the team continues to exist under the threat of bombardment, the number will not be so large that it affects the balance.

A team with a small number of people, such as a team of three, is no match for a lone wolf with thermal weapons.

In order to prevent the lone wolf from "clearing" quickly because of the hot weapon, one weapon can be equipped with one bullet or two bullets.

In the conflict, it can neutralize the balance between the lone wolf and the team, and it will not cause the lone wolf players to kill because of the hot weapons.

After hanging up the phone, the person in charge of the organizing committee notified the result of "allowing spontaneous team formation", but at the same time he reminded that "Crysis" itself has a plot.

If there are too many people in the team, unpredictable dangers may arise.

He didn't mention the danger.

At the same time, the organizing committee also pointed out that the probability and quantity of material supplies obtained by the team will be lower than that of lone wolf players.

Alice and all the lone wolf players breathed a sigh of relief. On the contrary, those players who had already started to form a team were a little unsure whether to continue forming a team.

There were still more than ten hours before the game officially started. Alice took a good bath and fell into a deep sleep.

She knew that this would be her last peaceful night before she died or was completely free!

Early the next morning, the base's horn sounded, and everyone quickly switched out of sleep and came outside the base.

Alice also received a set of basic equipment and then walked towards the crowd.

Basic equipment includes a backpack, a map, a multifunctional survival dagger, a nine-meter-long rope, a water bottle, a magnesium rod, and an emergency medical kit.
