Why did Zheng Yu win the draw three times?

Zheng Yu provided a detailed explanation for this question.

"Everyone... The Grand Sky Sect would never cheat. This draw is conducted under everyone's watchful eyes. How could the Grand Sky Sect cheat?"

"Then why did you win three times?" Fan Sheng looked unconvinced.

We were both unlucky yesterday, unable to win anything. Today, you win three times in a row. Are you being fair to our unlucky duo?

"Junior Brother Fan Sheng, the reason I won three times is quite simple... I just put in a few more Spirit Stones. The more you put in, the higher the chance of winning. Isn't that obvious?"

Everyone: "???"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

"Zheng Yu, you're shameless. Isn't this cheating?" Fan Sheng looked furious.

Chu Xinghe supported Junior Brother Fan Sheng, thinking, isn't this cheating? Zheng Yu, you're shameless!

But soon, Zheng Yu took out the rules given to everyone when the grand lucky draw was announced and pointed to them.

"Everyone can read, right? It clearly states here that all guests can put in Spirit Stones with their own aura to participate in the draw. So what's wrong with me putting in a few more?"

"Does it say anywhere that you can't put in more than one Spirit Stone?"

After Zheng Yu said this, the place fell silent for a full half-minute.

Although what Zheng Yu said was shameless, you have to admit, he wasn't wrong...

These rules were issued by the Grand Sky Sect, and everyone had a copy. The content was the same for everyone, and the rules didn't say you couldn't put in more than one Spirit Stone...

So what's wrong with what Zheng Yu did?

Chu Xinghe was on the verge of tears.

Zheng Yu, how did you come up with such a devious plan?

Are you playing the rules game with me?

The probability was played perfectly by you...

But Zheng Yu wasn't wrong... The rules indeed didn't specify that one person could only put in one.

So Zheng Yu, you were waiting for me, weren't you?

But how many Spirit Stones did you put in, like a mad dog?

Soon, Chu Xinghe found out the answer. Zheng Yu raised a finger and said, "I didn't put in many Spirit Stones, just a mere ten thousand..."

Goodness... Not many indeed...

There aren't that many guests here, and you put in ten thousand by yourself. No wonder all three were yours. You played the probability game perfectly...

But you're breaking the rules, don't you know?

Actually, Senior Brother Xinghe doesn't care if you break the rules. After all, I just wanted to give away the Flute of Time and Space for free. But you've set a bad precedent...

If everyone follows Zheng Yu's example tomorrow and starts throwing in Spirit Stones like crazy... How am I supposed to handle the losses?

No, such despicable behavior must be stopped, or this grand lucky draw will be ruined!

But before Chu Xinghe could speak, Zheng Yu spoke up.

"Last night, I specifically went to the Spirit Crane Palace to ask the Great Elder, and he personally told me this doesn't count as a violation, so this is a legitimate move."

After Zheng Yu finished speaking, the Great Elder nodded to everyone.

Goodness, Chu Xinghe was on the verge of tears... Am I your disciple, or is Zheng Yu your disciple, Great Elder? You're teaming up with Zheng Yu to mess with me, aren't you too kind to me?

The Great Elder ignored the discussions below, looking at Xinghe with a calm expression. Only now did the Great Elder realize the true purpose of Xinghe's grand lucky draw.

When Xinghe first proposed this grand lucky draw, even he thought it was bound to be a loss.

But after all, it was a celebration... A loss would be a loss.

But it turned out he underestimated Xinghe... How could the sect lose with Xinghe in charge?

When Zheng Yu came to him and asked if he could put in more Spirit Stones, the Great Elder instantly understood Xinghe's hidden strategy!

Xinghe deliberately left such a loophole in the rules. This way, as long as Zheng Yu put in a large number of Spirit Stones to get more Flutes of Time and Space, wouldn't others immediately follow suit?

This way, if everyone wanted to get the Flute of Time and Space, they would have to keep increasing their input. What?

You say the Spirit Stones are too expensive?

You don't know the value of the Flute of Time and Space. Look, Zheng Yu only put in ten thousand Spirit Stones today, and he already got three Flutes of Time and Space. But that's just because Zheng Yu was one step ahead. If it's tomorrow, with everyone going crazy, how would you win?

So for the Flute of Time and Space, you can only increase your input, but no matter how much you put in, as long as you win, it's definitely not a loss.

Xinghe's move essentially calculated everyone into it, using a gambler's mentality...

I put in a lot, but as long as I win once, I turn the tables... And those who win will think they're extremely lucky and want to continue for a second time... The more attractive the Flute of Time and Space, the more everyone will put in.

And all the Spirit Stones put in will eventually belong to the Grand Sky Sect. Although the individual amounts put in by each party can't buy a single Flute of Time and Space, there are so many people... With so many people putting in, the total value will definitely exceed the value of ten Flutes of Time and Space...

This is a surefire profitable deal... And the most brilliant part of Xinghe's plan is that the rules stated that if you don't win, the Spirit Stones will be kept by the Grand Sky Sect as a token of good luck for Senior Brother Feng Fei.

The place was in chaos... Although Zheng Yu's actions today were outrageous, you have to admit that this method wasn't wrong.

Cheng Xiaotian expressed joyfully, "Oh, don't look at Zheng Yu like that. This kid just thinks a bit faster, nothing special..."

Chu Xinghe didn't know if Zheng Yu's brain was fast... All he wanted to say was, Zheng Yu, you really have a unique talent for messing with me, don't you?

I arranged for all my lucky stars to be far away, afraid of any accidents. I just wanted to give away something for free... But you suddenly came up with this trick, are you trying to defy the heavens?

And what made Chu Xinghe feel even worse was that if Zheng Yu had just asked him once, he would have fixed this bug on the spot!

But you went directly to ask the Great Elder, and now that the Great Elder has agreed, should I step up and embarrass the Great Elder? Is that appropriate?

And that's not even the worst part... The worst part was the rule he set that stated the Spirit Stones would be kept as a token of good luck for Senior Brother Feng Fei.

At the time, Chu Xinghe really didn't think much of it. After all, these Spirit Stones came from various Big Shots, and the amount was minimal. In such a case, keeping them as a memento wasn't wrong. When we have another big event in the future, we can randomly select a few lucky winners from them and give them something, isn't that another chance for a loss?

But now, forget about losses... With this rule out, everyone is throwing in Spirit Stones like crazy, what should I do?

Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu... You're simply inhuman, calculating so clearly, why are you studying martial arts? Why not sell cabbages? You'd surely get rich selling cabbages.

But now it's too late to say anything. After Zheng Yu successfully found the bug, Chu Xinghe continued to draw the lucky winners with a sense of despair.

At this moment, Chu Xinghe could only hope that fewer Zheng Yus would come up, preferably none, to show everyone that even if you put in more, it might not be that easy to win.

It turned out that the heavens favored... Zheng Yu...

Out of ten Flutes of Time and Space, Zheng Yu won nine, and the remaining one was won by Cheng Xiaotian...

This is just absurd, utterly absurd, right?

Didn't they say that if I didn't play tricks, the tricks wouldn't play me?

The tricks didn't play me, but you, Zheng Yu, did...

This grand lucky draw was completely blown up, with those Big Shots from Martial Emperor City, who saw ten Flutes of Time and Space being won by one person, their eyes turned red.

Now, one by one, they held up their Space Rings, declaring they wanted to participate in tomorrow's draw, and the rules shouldn't change. If Zheng Yu could put in more, they wouldn't mind throwing in a few Spirit Stones either!

And then the place was in chaos... This person put in thirty thousand... That person put in fifty thousand... It didn't sound like much.

But you can't stop the sheer number of people... Soon, a Space Ring was filled to the brim with the Spirit Stones put in.

Chu Xinghe watched as everyone continued to put Spirit Stones into a new Space Ring, tears streaming down his face... What am I supposed to do now?

I just wanted to lose money... But you all started throwing in Spirit Stones like mad dogs, shouting that as long as you win one, it's not a loss...

I don't know if you're losing or not, but I just want to die, do you know that?

"Junior Brother Xinghe, so this was your plan all along... I admire you!" Feng Fei looked at Junior Brother Xinghe with joy.

Then Senior Brother Feng Fei detailed the calculations for Junior Brother Xinghe.

Based on the number of Spirit Stones everyone put in today, the total is a terrifying number, more profitable than selling the Flute of Time and Space...

And Junior Brother Xinghe, you used people's psychology. Those who win feel like they've made a huge profit... Tomorrow, they'll put in even more, for even bigger gains.

Those who didn't win can't accept it...

Damn, I put in so much, and I didn't win, can I back out?

I need to turn the tables... I'll put in more, and as long as I win, I'll break even...

So with this mindset, Feng Fei believed that in the coming days of the draw, the number of Spirit Stones participants put in would keep doubling. With this calculation, seventy Flutes of Time and Space not only wouldn't incur any loss but would be even more profitable than selling them!

Junior Brother Xinghe, you've turned the Flute of Time and Space into a chessboard, and everyone is a piece on your board!

Junior Brother Xinghe's every move is indeed well-calculated, winning from a thousand miles away!

Chu Xinghe didn't know what it meant to be well-calculated, nor did he know what it meant to win from a thousand miles away, nor did he know if others were pieces on his board. All he knew was that he just wanted to die...

I feel like I'm the piece on the board, okay?

I just wanted to give something away for free... What did I do wrong?
