Chapter 601: Chapter 190 Binary and the Young Odysseus

Two gold coins were taken out, and the situation on the table immediately changed.

Sitting opposite Andrea, the young man’s brain was racing at high speed.

The onlookers were also constantly discussing, creating a noisy sound. After all, whether the first challenger won or lost, the chips he placed were destined not to be able to take away all the rewards, not even close to one-tenth.

So they also wanted to use this opportunity to think about the solution to the game, hoping to seize this opportunity to get rich, or to demonstrate their abilities in front of everyone.

However, unfortunately, although everyone was racking their brains, math is not something you can understand just by thinking about it, especially for those with almost no foundation. He might be able to do many things under extreme tension or anger, but he definitely couldn’t solve math problems.

“I…I’ll take one from the first row!”

His voice was trembling, and just as he started, the young man was already sweating.

The bystanders were just watching for fun, but only he knew what kind of pressure gambling everything would bring.

He wanted to move a gold coin, but his trembling arm couldn’t do anything, so he had to speak to express his intention.

“Alright, understood.”

Nodding, Andrea reached out and took a coin from the first row, then calculated in her mind.

‘-4-1+2=-3’

“My turn.”

Speaking again, when it was her turn, Andrea took three coins from the third row, and the situation on the table changed again.

In just two or three steps, the number of coins on the table had decreased significantly, but the increasingly tense young man still couldn’t see the outcome, and most of the surrounding onlookers didn’t understand either. Only a few clearly well-dressed spectators sighed secretly.

Regarding this game, they didn’t understand its mysteries yet, but as high-level professionals, they could see, even with the most primitive exhaustive method, that when the situation was at 3-2-1, the first player was destined to lose.

Sure enough, when the young man took two coins from the first row again, Andrea immediately cleared the remaining two from the third row.

At this point, there were only two rows of one coin left in the field, and everyone understood the outcome of the bet.

“No, impossible, you cheated, you tricked me!”

Trembling, he stood up from the chair, took a step back, and then surged forward again. He wanted to take back the chips he had placed on the table, and watching his actions, Andrea didn’t reach out to stop him.

But the next moment, a sharp spear was placed at the young man’s neck–obviously, trying to do such activities in the city was impossible without informing the city guards. After all, a large number of outsiders had recently flooded into the Acropolis of Athens, and they needed to prevent casualties in crowded places.

In general, the guards only maintained order; they didn’t care what people in the city did. But the young man’s attempt to openly violate the covenant made before the Sacred Badge of the Goddess was something these guards maintaining order would not accept.

“This was a fair and just game; I explained the rules beforehand.”

Having perfectly completed the first game, Andrea’s tense heart also eased a lot.

A surge of confidence welled up in her heart as she watched the young man despairingly put down the money bag and the covenant, staggering backward under the sharp gaze of the guards. Andrea felt no pity at all.

Goddess witnessed, she only required one-tenth of the wealth, which wouldn’t bring too painful a loss to anyone. Since it was the other party who first tried to deceive the Deity, it was not surprising that he ended up like this.

Placing the wealth left by the young man to one side, Andrea indicated that these things would also be counted in the bet. As she won more and more times, this “stake” would probably grow as well.

“Next, who wants to try?”

With a charming smile, Andrea expectantly looked at the crowd. Compared to the initial tension, she had gradually found the fun in it.

To surpass others with one’s own thinking, that was indeed interesting…and as her words fell, two more people quickly stepped out from the crowd, both wanting to start the next game.

In theory, the two needed to decide the order, but considering their stakes were not too high, even winning could not take all the gold coins in that box, and there was entirely an opportunity for the second person. Therefore, after talking to each other, they politely determined the order.

In this regard, Andrea only felt that they were probably overthinking it. This game, you simply couldn’t win.

…

Game after game, the sun slowly shifted in the sky, and soon, Andrea won several times in a row.

However, in the later matches, each time consumed increasingly more time.

It wasn’t that someone intentionally delayed, nor was it because they couldn’t calculate anymore, but simply because the later participants mostly chose to pile a large number of gold coins on the table. Even in the later stages, there were quite a few rows with hundreds.

They seemed to believe Andrea was competing with them in calculating power, succeeding by the speed of mental arithmetic using the exhaustive method. Under such circumstances, they naturally chose the corresponding response, and the duration of the matches naturally lengthened–yet the outcome did not differ.
