I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Endless Oasis, One-in-92.6-Billion Adventure!

”Me?” Lin Yi pointed at himself.

Cheng Xiao: ”Who else could it be if not you?”

”No, you guys got here so early, couldn’t you solve it yourselves?”

Cheng Xiao rolled his eyes: ”You think we didn’t want to?”

”I’ve calculated a lot.”

”I calculated all the fortunes of these 100 seats for this morning.”

”The best one, according to my calculations, if you shoot the marble at the lucky time and control the only 10 small levers as I planned, you can only get a second prize.”

”The second prize is just a fraction of the jackpot, only six or seven hundred million.”

Lin Yi frowned: ”So, when you previously won over six billion, was it really just luck and calculations, without using any skills?”

At first, Lin Yi only used the Eye of Omniscience to see through the dice cup’s results.

Until Wu started cheating first.

He then cheated too.

With the gravitational field covering it, the dice in the cup were his to command.

Similarly, Lin Yi thought, if Cheng Xiao could stop time at near-earth orbit satellite cannons,

could it be so hard to have a marble fall into the jackpot hole?

”As I emphasized, the abilities I’ve shown so far might be very different from what you imagine.”

”Solidifying space, freezing time, even rewinding everything, only Eternals can do that.”

”Truth can’t do it.”

”Truth only lets me understand everything, and then recreate it.”

Cheng Xiao finished speaking.

Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

Understand everything, then recreate everything.

He used the word recreate, not create.

Hmm...

Creating something out of nothing is the ability of Creation, a Supreme Law.

Truth is about reassembling after understanding the dissection of everything.

No wonder Cheng Xiao could repair the peak match arena he and the contestants destroyed.

It wasn’t time travel, but recreation.

”Then why don’t you recreate this marble machine, leaving a cheating path only you know about?”

Cheng Xiao: ”I could, but it’s unnecessary.”

”That’s why you’re here...”

”Don’t be fooled by how relaxed I seem; it’s quite exhausting and disruptive to fate.”

”Why else do you think I charge so much?”

This time it was Lin Yi’s turn to roll his eyes.

But with this kind of marble machine, encountering his gravity field, it really was effortless.

Although the two talked a lot in their internal voice chat,

in fact, only a dozen seconds had passed.

In these ten seconds, Lin Yi not only conversed with Cheng Xiao but also watched how others were playing.

”Would you guys like to try our Super Marble Machine Endless Oasis?”

Seeing Lin Yi and the others watching around here.

Soon a casino assistant came over.

Meanwhile, she was accompanied by a waiter.

The waiter placed exquisite snacks from his tray in front of the five, smiling as he said, ”Please enjoy the tea and snacks, dear guests.”

Nangong Ling tiptoed to select the prettiest snack from them and ate it happily.

As for Sun Dachuan and Feng Sanyou, they acted as if they’ve never seen the world.

Grabbing two or three at a time to stuff into their mouths.

Lin Yi didn’t eat, having just had breakfast, he wasn’t hungry.

He looked at the assistant and asked, ”How do you play this Endless Oasis?”

”Quite simple, sir.”

”This Endless Oasis is the largest and most feature-complete Super Marble Machine in Yunding Entertainment City.”

”You just need to spend chips to buy marbles, then find a seat to start the game.”

”Do you see those tracks?”

”The track beneath you is the initial track, and you can set the marble’s launch speed freely.”

”The slowest speed is 5,000 launches per minute, and the fastest is 40,000 launches per minute.”

”These marbles, after passing the initial track, will encounter a series of junctions.”

”Some junctions’ arms are controlled automatically by machines at certain frequencies.”

”But the biggest difference with our Endless Oasis compared to other marble machines is that we’ve given the 10 choices to the players.”

”You see, we’ve placed three controllable arms on the initial Desert Zone track.”

”Then in the Gobi Zone, we’ve placed two controllable arms on the crucial junction.”

”After passing the Gobi Zone, it’s the Rapid Zone, where your marbles will speed up the cliff at their fastest rate.”

”Upon reaching the Cliff Zone, the marbles will fall freely, with one controllable arm to direct their fall.”

”Finally, there’s the most thrilling Oasis Zone, with four controllable arms.”

”Once your marbles reach here, they’re not far from the final treasure. As soon as they reach the center of the oasis, follow the Heaven’s Waterfall to drop down, and through the five levels of Divine Rock, land in the final Oasis Eye.”

”You can take all accumulated chips in the jackpot with you!”

With the assistant’s explanation and Lin Yi’s prolonged observation.

He completely understood how to play this game.

”This casino really knows how to use people’s wishful thinking.”

”Most marble machines are fully automatic, whether a marble enters the jackpot hole is entirely random.”

”With this Endless Oasis, it seems to give you controllable choices, but really, it makes no difference.”

”Even with these 10 chances, using the optimal solutions, do you know the probability of getting 1 marble into the last Oasis Eye?”

Cheng Xiao scoffed in their internal voice chat.

As a master of mathematics, he could deduce the result without much thinking.

”It’s one in 92.6 billion.”

Lin Yi clicked his tongue.

He just thought this giant marble machine looked spectacular, especially with nearly a hundred people playing at once now.

Marbles spun along the tracks, advancing through barriers.

Some fell into traps, disappearing without a trace.

Still, more marbles passed the barriers, eliciting gasps.

Indeed, very thrilling.

Yet the probability science behind this thrill was chillingly cold.

”And that’s considering if this casino didn’t secretly tweak the machine to cheat.”

”Considering no one has hit the jackpot in nearly eight years.”

”The cheating probability is high.”

”A chance of over 900 billion to one might be small, but not impossible.”

”One might spend tens of thousands of marbles in one go.”

Lin Yi nodded.

He randomly found a seat to sit down.

Theoretically, under the influence of the gravity field.

He would only need 1 marble.

That would be enough to break this nearly unbeatable 92.6 billion to one.

But that would be too obvious.

It would instantly be recognized as cheating by the casino.

It’s best not to get caught and avoid trouble if possible.

So Lin Yi planned to buy a batch of marbles.

After all, the chips he spends would all end up in the accumulated prize pool anyway.

As long as he wins, it all returns!
