Chapter 42: The Pirate Gold Division

Fa Zheng took 100 copper coins located on the table, looked at Shi Hao and said: Village Chief Shi, Ill ask you a question. If you answer correctly, I will leave with you. if your answer is wrong, then dont come to look for me again in the future. This is the rule.

Shi Hao smiled and nodded his head. He already knew this rule from the Stargazing Platform. Moreover, he also knew what exactly the question of Fa Zheng was. As a matter of fact, Fa Zhengs question seemed similar to that famous The Pirate Gold Division Hypothesis. Suppose, on a certain day, three pirates got 100 gold coins, and they proposed a rule for the division. The first person would put forward a distribution plan, then all three of them would vote. If more than half vote in the favor of the plan, the plan would be carried out. Otherwise, the person who put forward a vote would be killed. Then, the second person would put forward a distribution plan, and so on. Now, the first person sought help from you to ensure that he would get the largest benefit. At this time, how would you solve this problem?

Fa Zheng quickly stated the question clearly and waited for Shi Haos reply.

Simple! Shi Hao had yet to reply. Wu Batian suddenly rushed out from one side. After he had left, he secretly followed Shi Hao. He knew that Shi Hao must have something in his mind. As a result, he saw that Shi Hao had truly found this mysterious-looking fellow. He didnt know the background of this mysterious fellow, but his instinct told him that this fellow was absolutely not simple, must be a historical NPC. He looked at this fellows style and estimated that this fellow should be at least B grade historical NPC. But every time he went over with the intention to recruit this fellow, the other party ignored him.

This time, however, he understood. As it turned out that the method to recruit this mysterious fellow was to answer the question. Wu Batian was a brilliant student accepted to C University of H Province. Heh heh, Pirate Gold Division Hypothesis, a bit interesting, do you think no one knows this theory?

Wu Batian smiled and confidently replied: According to the recursive game theory, the number of people would reduce from 3 to 2. For this, we can assume that if the first person dies, the gold coins would be distributed to only the remaining two people. Like that, when the second person put forward a plan, the third person would definitely oppose it. At that time, the second person would also die, and the entire 100 gold coins would belong to the third person. Now, lets return to the situation where three people had to distribute gold coins. Considering that the death of the first person would become the mortal situation to the second person like mentioned before, the second person must support the first persons plan for his own survival. And the first person would also definitely support his own plan. Like this, the first person can put forward any distribution plan as he pleased. Naturally, the best distribution plan is to allot the entire 100 gold coins to himself.

Wu Batian proudly looked at Shi Hao, quietly waiting for Fa Zheng to recognize him as the lord. Unfortunately, he was wrong! He was very wrong. It was not that his deduction was wrong. He had made two mistakes. First, the hidden recruitment mission was triggered by Shi Hao. Therefore, it was only meaningful when Shi Hao answered. If what Wu Batian said was the correct answer, then that would only be helping Shi Hao to answer this question. It would be like sewing a wedding dress for other people. Second, his answer was wrong.

In fact, this question just resembled The Pirate Gold Division Hypothesis. But the key problem didnt lie in the gold division! Shi Hao who had seen the typical answer knew this point very clearly. Therefore, he just smiled and remained silent for a long time. Fa Zheng also remained silent for a long time. They made Wu Batian awkward for a long time.

Suddenly, Wu Batian got angry and loudly berated: Hey! I gave the correct answer. Why are you two not speaking?

Fa Zheng just shook his head. Shi Hao also smiled and said slowly: Its sad, he clearly told you three pirates! We, however, live in a world ruled by Divine and Mighty Alliance. When did Divine and Mighty Alliance give you permission to explain so many things to pirates? What a joke! The correct action is, immediately capture the first pirate, then deceive the remaining two pirates and hand them over to Divine and Mighty Alliance for rewards!

F***! Wu Batians face was filled with black lines. Was that also an answer? After all this time, he had said so many things, but it just took him into a ditch.

It was a pity, Shi Hao and Fa Zheng didnt care about his issues.

Well said, well said! Lets go, I will go back to Twin Dragons Village with you. In fact, Fa Zheng had expected Shi Hao to give the correct answer. Fa Zheng threw away those craps of fortune-telling and coolly left with Shi Hao. Wu Batian was left standing there in a mess. He was still blaming himself deeply. How could he be so moronic? He was actually fooled by such a stupid question. He, however, couldnt figure out why Shi Hao was able to give the correct answer. Alas! Wu Batian was depressed for quite a few days for this reason.

Shi Hao and Fa Zheng were on the way to Twin Dragons Village. They were unable to reach Twin Dragons Village before the night because of the slow speed of Fa Zheng.

At this moment, Shi Hao didnt explain the matter of Stargazing Platform to Fa Zheng. Only Shi Hao was able to use Stargazing Platform and only Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao knew its functions. Therefore, if Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao said nothing, no one else (including Fa Zheng) would know. This was the secret of Twin Dragons Village.

The night passed, and early next morning, Shi Hao summoned everyone in the Council Hall. Like Liu Bei in history, Shi Hao attached importance to Fa Zheng. Therefore, he solemnly introduced Fa Zheng to Twin Dragons Villages key figures. After then, he smiled and said: Xiaozhi (Fa Zhengs courtesy name), you also say a few words.

Fa Zheng stroked his long beard and said with a smile: I have the basic understanding of Twin Dragons Villages circumstances. Naturally, Im also clear about the matter of Wei Wentong. I also dont need to say more about this matter. In my eyes, he is just a boorish fellow. Whether he is dead or alive, he cannot hinder the development of Twin Dragons Village. At present, the most important thing should be expansion! With Twin Dragons Villages military and economic strength, we must expand more and increase the influence of Twin Dragons Village.

By the way, Fa Zheng was not completely certain about Wei Wentongs matter. However, this also couldnt be blamed on Fa Zheng. After all, he didnt know that Shi Hao had gotten a treasure.

Fa Zheng paused for a moment and said: Of course, Divine and Mighty Alliance is very strict about wars. We basically cannot make a move against the villages under Divine and Mighty Alliance. Even if we want to make a move against those free villages, we need to report it to Divine and Mighty Alliance first. And the reporting process takes a long time, and we need to get through many links. This is not a feasible way. Therefore, we must obtain Village Building Orders and establish villages. In addition, I think Twin Dragons Village should take an elite path in the future, put quality before quantity. Therefore, the established villages should be at least A grade! Only the villages of A grade or above would have an attached special effect and a rare building , which accelerates the development of the village!

Fa Zheng then solemnly said some final words: Everybody! I know the entire West Flower Region of Divine Flower Continent like the palm of my hand. At this moment, I know a special place. There is a powerful field BOSS. This BOSS is very special. It is not easy to even encounter it. Naturally, no one has ever defeated it. But defeating it for the first time would drop S grade or even SS grade Village Building Order. However, that place is very dangerous. And theres a saying wealth comes with dangers, I wonder if everyone dares to go or not?
