Rebirth of America: The American Drama System

Organic Chemistry Room.

"Won't."

After being startled, Ben shook his head.

"Really? It's actually very simple."

Professor Rosa stretched out his hand and motioned for Ben to walk over. Gil and others were sitting at a gaming table. The professor took out playing cards from the card machine and introduced: "You and the dealer are rivals. He will give you 2 There are cards, and flower cards greater than 10 are counted as 10 points. You can ask for cards, stop cards and raise bets. The person closest to 21 points wins, and the person who exceeds 21 points loses."

"It's the most popular card game in the world."

Fisher laughed.

"It's actually a game that tests memory."

Jill Taylor rationally analyzed: "The cards that have been dealt are the past, and the cards that have not been dealt are the future."

"And the best part."

Professor Rosa leaned back in his chair and smiled shrewdly: "It can be defeated. You should know this very well."

"Are you talking about card counting?"

Ben suddenly realized.

This is the same as the variables considered in the host game in math class, except that the blackjack game uses 4 decks of cards. Excluding the big and small kings, there are a total of 208 cards, and they change all the time. The complexity and difficulty are far beyond the average person. Imagine.

But in theory, it is possible for people with super memory and mental arithmetic ability to successfully count cards. They only need to quickly mentally calculate the winning rate of the current card game based on the current situation, and place heavy bets when the winning rate is very high. There is a high chance of a big win.

For example, Sheldon, who has high-definition image-like memory ability, when Leonard and the others are playing card games, he can accurately analyze what cards each player is holding without looking at them just by listening. , naturally invincible!

Of course, for those who drink water with their teeth stuck and their backs covered with blood, even if the probability of winning is calculated to be 99%, they may still run into those small and medium-probability events again and again!

And such a person must have been kicked out of the group long ago!

Therefore, when this approach is implemented for a whole game or for a period of time, the overall victory is almost inevitable, which is what Professor Rosa calls can be defeated.

“No, I’m talking about getting really, really rich!”

Professor Rosa tempted and said: "You only need to fly to Las Vegas on weekends and holidays, and you can take a vacation and make money at the same time. This is a great hobby, isn't it?"

"You all count cards?"

Ben said in shock.

"We are a team."

“When we work together as a team, our winning rate increases many times,” Gill explained.

Ben calmly asked: "Then why are you looking for me?"

“One of us graduated and went to Google.”

Professor Rosa said proudly.

Ben was dubious and said: "If this can really make a lot of money, why would he go to Google?"

"I'm talking about Google!"

Professor Rosa emphasized.

In this era, Google is already the largest Internet giant in the world. Those who enter Google as outstanding graduates of the University of Chicago have a bright future.

"Sorry, I still can't do it."

Ben refused calmly.

"Why? With your intelligence, there is nothing wrong with university courses, and if you want to transfer to medical school for further studies, it will cost a lot of money."

Professor Rosa reminded.

"how do you know?"

Ben was shocked.

“I’m very interested in my students.”

Professor Rosa said meaningfully.

Ben's heart trembled, and he felt more and more dangerous about this matter. He shook his head firmly and said, "Sorry!"

As he spoke, he walked out.

"Book!"

"What?"

"I would like you to keep this conversation private."

"certainly……"

Ben was about to nod in agreement, but was interrupted by Professor Rosa: "No, I have to remind you that you are one of my favorite students. If I lose you, I will be very sad. Do you understand what I mean?"

In American colleges and universities, it is very easy for a university professor to deal with a student. All he needs to do is deliberately make things difficult and lower his grades, which may cause an outstanding student to lose the opportunity to take a further step.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t have any background or connections. Otherwise, if someone like Owen is very familiar with Katie’s mother, a tenured professor at the University of Chicago, it would be difficult to do it!

This is why Professor Rosa doesn't even see Owen!

Gordon!

The door was closed, and Ben standing outside the door had a wry smile on his face. He was threatened by his professor, but this threat was real, and he secretly decided not to even mention it in front of his good friends Michael and the others.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Professor Rosa and the others would not give up so easily. The burning gaze Ben looked at Jill Taylor was so obvious that he naturally used the honey trap.

Ben resisted reservedly, but his willpower was not as strong as he imagined. On the way home on the subway while pushing his bicycle, he looked around and saw that everyone seemed to be losers. Suddenly he felt that card counting was useful. No big deal, as long as he earns enough US$300,000 to go to medical school, he will stop immediately.

Besides, he might still be able to create some sparks with Jill Taylor...

Money and beauty have always been the two things that most impress men, but Ben seemed to have them at his fingertips. How could he hold on? He turned back around the campus and found Professor Rosa and the others. With his strong memory and mental arithmetic skills, he successfully integrated into them.

One month later.

666 dormitory.

"came back?"

Owen looked at Ben Campbell, whose mental outlook had changed drastically. He understood clearly and said jokingly: "How was your weekend? Michael and the others said they couldn't find you~"

"kindness."

Ben stood there, looking at Owen with a detached attitude, thinking about what Xiao Cai and the others told him after the group members got acquainted with each other, and thinking about his exciting trip to Las Vegas this month, for Owen This opponent, who didn't even know he was defeated, had a sense of superiority in his eyes.

"I have something to go out and I forgot my phone."

After Owen went out, Ben secretly put the bundles of cash in his backpack into the vents on the roof, covered the ventilation panels, and lay on his bed, looking at the ventilation panels on the roof. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In Las Vegas, day and night are reversed, and the spirit is high. After a weekend, sleep deprivation is inevitable!

night.

In a bar next to the University of Chicago.

At the party of four, while fat Michael and Ken were still arguing about whether they dare to go to bed, Ben caught a glimpse of Jill Taylor. An impulse that was both hormonal and pretentious drove him to walk directly to Jill Taylor's house. Beside him, he boldly issued an invitation.

"what the fk!"

"Why is Ben so talented all of a sudden? Even Jill Taylor dares to talk to him!"

"Money makes a man bold!"

Owen squinted his eyes and looked at Ben who was swaying freely, and there was no trace of shyness at all. He couldn't help but let out a sigh. Thinking of a somewhat embarrassing thing that happened last weekend, he drank all the beer in the glass. I gave up heavily and already made a decision in my heart...
