Since he could judge the number of big names in the lower and upper shoe cards, facing the blackjack crowd who were 200 years behind, Cheng Jinzhou was almost in a state of cheating.

He cannot guarantee himself a winning streak. Most of the time, however, he loses half the time when he bets small, and rarely loses when he bets large.

Blackjack is betting against the banker. Even if others want to imitate Cheng Jinzhou, they can't do it.

In the eyes of most people, Cheng Jinzhou's betting seemed to be irregular, especially when he became more proficient and started the process of splitting the cards, which made the situation even more confusing.

Even with the indifferent attitude of the priest of the temple, Cheng Jinzhou was soon overcome with sweat on his head.

Anyone who loses 30,000 taels of silver in a short time will not feel relaxed. Fortunately, the church is not for profit and its mentality remains peaceful. What they are most afraid of are gamblers who rely on luck, and what they are least afraid of are skilled astromancers. In fact, the latter are welcomed in the temple.

Cheng Jinzhou threw another thousand taels of chips on the table. Considering the probability of losing cards, in order to ensure a sufficient number of games, usually in casinos, professional gamblers place 1% of their own bets each time. Xiao Cheng simply understood this as 1% of household property.

Through the accumulation of trade some time ago, he can come up with at least eighty or ninety thousand taels of silver.

Mu Yin had stopped betting with Cheng Jinzhou a long time ago. Astromancers are not short of money because when they want money, there is always a way to get it. However, making money takes time, which is not much help compared to improving their own abilities. Therefore, astrologers who want to improve their level Most of the warlocks don't spend their time getting money, and Mu Yin naturally doesn't want to be in debt.

The ten thousand taels of silver chips have turned into thick squares, with not only words engraved on them, but also complicated patterns and Westernized fonts, similar to cursive English, but with some changes.

"Split the cards." In the new round, Cheng Jinzhou got a pair of 5s and immediately chose to separate them, forming two sets.

He doesn't have the consciousness of a gambler, so he calculates completely based on probability. If it is a pair of 4, then he should get the cards instead of splitting the cards. Many people lose even more miserably because they do not understand the reasons and split cards randomly.

The dealer, the priest, put the cards to himself expressionlessly, but the second card turned out to be a 10.

Someone from behind immediately exclaimed: "We're going to win again."

Cao Feng couldn't help it anymore and asked on the spot: "Mr. Cheng, you actually do research on probability?"

After all, he is a star warlock, and he finally knows what gambling is and what probability is.

The world's worst gamblers are mathematicians. Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips and said, "I only have a very basic understanding."

"It's not easy to understand." No matter how uneducated Cao Feng was, he also knew that Cheng Jinzhou couldn't explain it casually in front of everyone, but he still wanted to go back and ask again, but he lost interest in the cards in his hand.

Cheng Jinzhou also put together the cards in his hand and asked the dealer: "I now have 34,000 taels of silver, which can be exchanged for 68,000 taels?"

Seeing that he wanted to stop, the white-robed priest breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If you want a star formation above the first level, 40,000 taels of silver is enough, but if you want something special, 7 Wan Liang is a little less."

The last time, the star formation painter hired by Xiang Xin evaluated Cheng Jinzhou as having no star power at all. But recently, Cheng Jinzhou ate real rice for more than a month and felt that his body should make up for what he owed. He said with some confidence: "Is there any star formation that requires very little star power?"

As far as he knows, the big guys in the Star Warlock Association probably have higher requirements for star power, which is why there are perverts like Lu Xu. And in the far west, although the powerful star array may not make any progress, but All kinds of special star formations are much more prosperous than the Great Xia Dynasty, and the uniqueness and exchanges between small countries are fully demonstrated here - just as Rousseau, who is not yet crazy, thinks that the best political system in the world may be It is really a collection of countless small countries.

While the two were talking, Father Li Zhong finally came over. For the Holy Temple Casino he controlled, 30,000 taels of silver was a lot of money, but it was normal for him to be won by a star warlock. Therefore, Cheng Jinzhou only appeared after the suspension, and took over the conversation with a smile: "According to the rules of the Star Warlock Association, the star power that a star array can withstand is the most important criterion for judging the level of a star warlock. Low-level star arrays reduce the star power requirements ,It is not meaningful."

"I just want to use it for myself." Cheng Jinzhou played with the cards in his hand, seemingly relaxed, but actually nervous. If he could control his own star formation, maybe one day he wouldn't have to have bodyguards around him anymore.

The people who appeared in the temple were more or less distinguished people. Seeing that their star warlock was talking about very formal issues about the star formation, they all returned to their desks.

Li Zhong didn't mind if there were people at the card table. He flashed his wrist and unfolded an image in front of several people.

He pointed at each one and said: "An anti-gravity star array that requires 2 points of star power can reduce 50 kilograms of weight. Then every 10 kilograms is increased, the star power requirement will increase by a little. When it increases to 10 points of star power, it will It is equivalent to the ordinary anti-gravity star array. However, it is very troublesome to wash off the tattoos every time it is improved. The second is the attack star array, which requires 3 points of star power and can reduce the temperature within 20 cubic centimeters. Basically The reduction is 10 degrees. Every additional star power requirement can be reduced by 2 to 5 degrees. It is very unstable and is best used in conjunction with the positioning star array..."

Cheng Jinzhou couldn't make up his mind at the moment, and although he was very confident, he still couldn't help but worry if the star power he could withstand was still 0.

He didn't speak, and Li Zhong continued to introduce tirelessly: "In terms of defense, there is an air condensation star array that can withstand 100 kilograms of pressure, but the starting star power requirement is 8 points. To be practical, it is recommended that 15 points is better..."

"What about the price?"

Li Zhong laughed heartily and said: "The monk's current bargaining chips are still somewhat insufficient to purchase a special star array."

60,000 taels of silver, equivalent to 100 contribution points, is enough to purchase a first-level star array. The price of the temple is indeed ethereal.

Before Cheng Jinzhou could reply, Li Zhong changed the topic and said: "If Mr. Cheng is willing to explain to us a little bit about your calculation method, as a reward, the temple can carve a star formation below level 2 for you for free. Including special star formations.”

"Doesn't that cost hundreds of contribution points?" Cheng Jinzhou was slightly surprised.

Lu Xu had been working for decades and only earned about a hundred contribution points a year. The salary of a star warlock was very, very high.

Li Zhong showed a kind smile like a priest and said: "Everyone has experienced the hardships in mathematics and science. The church makes long-term decisions in the spirit of mutual communication. Of course, even if you tell us the calculation method, all the results Reports, etc., will still be signed with your name, and the original text will still be published by you."

"Probability." Cheng Jinzhou lowered his jaw silently and suddenly smiled: "How many chips are needed for that anti-gravity star array?"

"Eighty thousand is enough." The number given by Li Zhong was just a little more than what Cheng Jinzhou currently had.

Classmate Xiao Cheng, however, was not worried. He picked up a chip and knocked on the table, saying, "Open the cards, let's play two more games."

Li Zhong was speechless.

Even Tian Shimin and others at the poker table couldn't help but smile.

Cheng Jinzhou can win three out of five games. When the bets are basically the same, the casino that has been killed long ago is defeated. If he wants to open the cards, it is equivalent to taking the temple's money in vain.

The Holy Church's casino is far from mature, and they can't turn away guests they don't like like the casinos of later generations, at least they can't kick out the guests who have already entered. Li Zhong had no choice but to smile bitterly and give up his position.

With a winning rate of more than 3%, coupled with different bets at different winning rates, although Cheng Jinzhou's cards seem to have both losses and wins, when considering the amount of money he won, it can be said to be a big win.

Although the odds of blackjack are not as exciting as the unlimited games such as stud and Texas hold'em, it is better than the speed. Under normal circumstances, 4 cards can determine the winner. If you pack up the chips faster, a round can be over in 30 seconds. In a few minutes, someone can double the chips in his hand or lose them all. .

The pastor didn't know if he really didn't care about the money, or if he was honest about his standards. He clearly saw that Cheng Jinzhou was constantly winning money, but he didn't lose even half an inch. Li Zhong watched without saying a word, and took over as Cheng Jinzhou continued to win money.

The sound of thick chips worth one thousand taels of silver echoed on the blackjack table again and again.

Without the interference of other players at the same table, Cheng Jinzhou was completely immersed in his mathematical world. When he used the elementary mental arithmetic tutorial with all his strength, he no longer cared about other messy things. The movements of his hands were flawless, which actually accelerated the gambling game. Quite a few.

In less than five minutes, Cheng Jinzhou once again won 10,000 taels of silver.

The servant who was waiting on the side consciously changed the ten thousand taels of chips into a huge square chip of ten thousand taels. As the gambling game progressed, Cheng Jinzhou was like building a Great Wall in front of him, and he accumulated more than ten chips in a short time.

The servants shuttled between the halls to deliver weights, and soon attracted the attention of countless people. Everyone kept their identities and were embarrassed to watch around the card table, but their eyes and ears were turned sideways from time to time.

It's unclear since when, in the huge and noisy hall, the only sounds left were the sound of the croupier dealing cards and Cheng Jinzhou's mechanical sound of placing bets.

"One thousand taels" is the most frequently occurring sentence.

Cao Feng and Lu Xu were both heartless star warlocks. They didn't show any signs of worry. They only paid attention to Cheng Jinzhou's continuous placing of large and small bets, and wanted to simulate it themselves.

Obviously, the simulation is absolutely impossible to succeed. They couldn't even find the basis for Cheng Jinzhou's calculations.

In probability, the most basic concepts of independent events and so on have not been formally studied by anyone, so it is not easy to crack them.

Finally, when there were more than 20 thousand yuan in chips, Li Zhong jumped out and said: "Mr. Cheng, this number is almost enough."

He called twice, and Cheng Jinzhou opened his eyes dimly. Without looking at the chips on the table, he stood up and said, "I'm back to the outer peninsula. When your people are ready, come and carve stars for me." Let’s form a formation.”
