Chapter 57: Grand

With the current scale and influence of Yi Zhan Tower, the so-called open competition is a pleasing statement, because Ye Tao and even Tan Weixin have not yet conducted hierarchical selection competitions across the country, and then the ability to play more representative and more quality national finals. Not only financial resources, but also the influence of the marching chess game is not popular to a certain extent among the people, and the player class is still relatively weak; Yi Zhan Tower, at least the distribution agent of Yi Zhan Store has not been popularized to that level; what is more troublesome is that the training of staff members of the grand strategy gameplay is far from meeting the national competition.

Organizational needs. If it is modern, the gameplay of the grand strategy is just a quasi-turn-based strategy simulation game that can be carried out online. A large number of calculations and chess piece arrangement deductions can be handed over to the computer. However, in this era, because the general mathematical foundation in this era is so bleak, it is not easy for people to find a slightly complex four-character mixed calculation. As for some exponential calculations and some more complex geometric calculations that Ye Tao later planned, they can allow tolerance calculations with certain errors, etc., I am afraid that they can only talk to Tan Weixin in the process of discussing the further development of marching chess.

However, with the idea of ​​modern people, even if the competition with limited scale is now, it can still be operated as a grand event that has attracted the deep attention of the public.

As a public competition, the rules and regulations of the competition have long been issued through the chess shop, and all teams and individuals who have registered to participate in the competition can obtain a detailed rule. The competition does not charge an registration fee, but instead provides certain standard food and accommodation subsidies for participants from other places. This "business" is the responsibility of Qingluo Xingshe, who has been doing half-black business in Danyang.

For Ye Tao and Tan Weixin, making the Open a grand event that has attracted much attention seemed to be a mere effort. In the small square in front of the Yizhan Building, a few days before the official registration, a series of huge posts drawn with oily pigments were put out in rows. Each of these posts depicts an aspect of the war. In addition to the scene of the ongoing large-scale battle, there are also detailed descriptions of logistics, scouts, construction, operation of equipment, evacuation of the people, organizing civilians, feeding military horses, etc., which serve the war.

Although this era is somewhat different from the era in which Ye Tao and Tan Weixin came from. However, in the land where they live, in the art field where ink painting and water-based pigments are the main character, this seemingly simple but extremely rich poster drawn by oil painting combined with modern poster techniques has become a huge highlight. After all, among the people who can actively participate in the competition and training of marching chess, rich families and officials and local children account for a large proportion, and these people have a poor appreciation of art.

The more fascinating activities were a series of small-scale, with priority scope and targeted lectures and discussions. Although Ye’s employees were unable to participate in the competition because they avoided suspicion, they were experienced as the main force in the lectures and discussions. Those chess players from all over the country were very happy to learn something from them. After all, in addition to Yicheng and Danyang, other places were exposed to marching chess, especially the grand strategy gameplay, and there was still a considerable gap between them in terms of tactics and other aspects.

In fact, for most chess friends, the extremely strict competition system of Yi Zhanlou seems a bit incredible. Even Ye’s avoidance of suspicion and failure to participate in the competition made everyone feel a little confused. Is it not to pay money to organize the competition now to show off his influence and ability in this aspect? Those who can really see from behind this competition that Ye Tao and Tan Weixin can get huge benefits naturally will not tell those who want to charge so little registration fees but provide so many services to balance the secrets of the competition organizing committee.

The individual competition with uneven levels begins first, and in just two days, the initial two extremely funny qualifiers end. Unlike the game of the grand strategy that must be played in groups, the individual competition only requires an understanding of the classic version of the marching chess as a tabletop game, which does not contain much military components. Those who can fully play as strategists and commanders in a certain aspect in the team of the grand strategy game play have lost terrible losses in the individual competition. It was not until they entered the knockout round of the semi-finals that the quality of the competition improved.

The content of the game in the game room that is isolated from external interference is delivered directly to the commentary hall by specially arranged people. The referee team led by Suo Zheng selects exciting content from all the games for commentary. For Ye Tao, the commentary hall, which is constantly rotating and performs two hours every morning and afternoon, becomes another place to awaken his memory and make him linger. Every noon, he will run to the office behind the small podium in the commentary hall that summarizes all the game situations. Perhaps it is because everyone originally had a relatively independent compartment design. Perhaps it is because the ubiquitous chaos in the office caused by the busy work, which makes the office very similar to a modern office in almost any other aspect except for the light. Especially at noon, when all the floor-to-ceiling blinds leading directly to the garden behind are opened,

This feeling became more and more obvious when the spring sunshine that began to become wet and gentle, illuminated the entire huge office. As the competition progressed, the huge office gradually became the central office of the organizing committee for commanding and guiding the entire marching chess Open, and when the office became more and more busy and nervous in the leisurely atmosphere of this classical era, the office became more and more attractive to Ye Tao. So much so that after a few days of the open, Ye Tao finally couldn't help but create a relatively independent compartment by the window for himself in this huge office. From then on, this place became a place that people from all walks of life had to reach if they wanted to find the busier and busier Ye Tao. As for the people who were accustomed to leisure, they felt a little ridiculously chaotic place that occasionally made people scratch their heads, it was not within Ye Tao's consideration.

"Young Master, I'll tell you that these two games are fine in the afternoon, right?" While Ye Tao was rushing to stuff lunch in the office, Suo Zheng, who was a little confused about the choice of several games, hurriedly asked.

"What does it matter if the competition itself is exciting? It's true that you can tell it wonderfully." Ye Tao was a little puzzled, smiled and used Suo Zhengzhi away, and finally successfully set aside a piece of time to deal with the people sent by the little princess Tan Weishi to find him.

Tan Weishi spent a few days under the guidance of his sister. In addition to Chi Lei, who was very familiar with this game, as the head of the scout unit, he played the role of three brothers and sisters in the Chi family in three different teams. At the same time, Tan Weishi's team also gathered many strange people, working as apprentices in a pawnshop in Xicheng. Zeng Zining, who was extremely sensitive to the calculation of the outcome of the battle, claimed that he was familiar with military books but was a document managing books in the Imperial College. The most special thing was that the eunuch who was standing respectfully in front of Ye Tao now was only seventeen years old but was Li Mian, one of the eunuchs in charge of the accounting work of the inner palace in the Dongping Palace.

No one knows what Li Mian's original surname was. Since he was adopted by Li Sishu, the current head of the inner court, since he was infancy, he began to call his current name. Li Mian is a child with a very soft heart. Li Sishu is old. In order to follow Li Sishu at all times and take care of the old eunuch who has worked for the Dongping royal family for decades, Li Mian went to the palace to be a small eunuch. One was a eunuch and the other was an orphan. He didn't have much thoughts about the matter of inheriting the family line, so he came naturally.

Li Mian is one of the few eunuchs who have a very sensitive sense of touch with numbers and formulas. When Tan Weixin discovered this in a simple accident and recommended Li Mian to Li Sishu, Li Mian gradually showed his talents in the inner mansion and consolidated his status. How powerful is Li Mian's talent? Basically, he is a personal computer. When he knew the formula, he casually told him the variables in the formula, and he could almost instinctively report the answer.

Since the team formed by Tan Weishi is a bit hasty, Ye Tao's advice to Tan Weishi and when he and Tan Weixin assisted Tan Weishi in forming the team, he considered letting the team start from the gameplay of the gameplay of the gameplay of the gameplay of the chess game, relying on the precise control and management of numbers and data to gain advantages, rather than extensive and unprofessional strategic concepts. With the support of this idea, Li Mian, Zeng Zining and others are very useful.

Li Mian was a little nervous. With the dull and self-support of the royal family in Dongping, he naturally would not tolerate any arrogant and domineering behavior of his subordinates. Although there were some power struggles and some cruel things in the palace, in general, Li Mian, a person who had been determined to serve Li Sishu and the royal family for the rest of his life, has never stood on the front desk of Guangyao. This time, from the invitation of the little princess who agreed to join the team and conducted a series of training, his feelings were a little unfair. He finally understood that this team was going to stand in the spotlight and fight against those teams that were also eye-catching. As the training progressed, Li Mian found that his position in the team became more and more important. Although he did not know much military, the more and more battles were going on, but it was increasingly dependent on his opinions. And just this morning, he accidentally discovered a formula problem...

The thing is this. In the several internal training competitions held in the morning, Li Mian took advantage of a loophole in the game's values ​​and formula setting, and repeatedly used the continuous impact bonus of the cavalry to win. In the formula system of the marching chess strategy gameplay, when a unit is continuously attacked by troops with higher power than its own within a certain period of time, the attacking party will continue to accumulate attack bonus. In fact, this is in line with the fact that the basic principles of the sparrow war harassment war mobile war, everyone agrees with this setting, but Li Mian deliberately used a small-scale killing troops to attack to accumulate enough bonus for the final cavalry general attack. In reality, this tactic is completely impossible to achieve, because there is still a big difference between continuous killing and continuous harassment. However, the little princess Tan Weishi's team started from the game level. The first thing they considered was not the rationality of reality but the possibility of winning using the game system.

Li Mian just felt a little strange. Is this considered a loophole in the game? Is this considered a lack of this huge and complete game system? Li Mian was educated since childhood, and the Dongping royal family they served will not make mistakes. If there is any mistake, refer to the previous article. Even their responsibility is to serve the Dongping royal family, which is the Tan family, to make up for these big and small mistakes. After Tan Weishi kept calling Ye Tao a brother-in-law, at present, Li Mian at least regarded Ye Tao as a venerable who he must treat carefully.

When Ye Tao looked at Li Mian whenever he mentioned the Dongping royal family and the two princesses of the Tan family, his hands in his sleeves unconsciously formed a ritual arch, and his body would unconsciously bow a little. This is no longer restraint or respect, it has become a conditioned reflex. Ye Tao found it interesting. Such a person had too low chance of existence in the era when he was originally living.

"Eunuch Li..." Ye Tao thought about it for a while, but Li Mian immediately bowed and interrupted, "I dare not, Mr. Ye, just call me Xiaomianzi. This is a villain who is not allowed to call me by Eunuch Li."

"...Xiaomian," said that after ignoring the eunuch's iconic name "Xiao Mouzi", this title seemed a little closer, but it showed that Ye Tao never treated Li Mian as an eunuch in the inner court and had any different attitude. "What do you think should you do now?"

Li Mian said firmly: "The calculations of the competition are carried out by Mr. Ye and your subordinates. This group of people who perform the calculations are trustworthy. Mr. Ye, if you modify this formula, everyone will definitely not have any doubts."

Ye Tao shook his head and said, "This is a game that requires an authoritative competition. The authority of the game comes from fairness and justice. All formulas of the grand strategy game are open. Although everyone is busy with various considerations in the game, most of the audience are unclear, so they modify the formula as long as it is not enough to shake the final result of each calculation, and do not shake the local outcome, but only slightly adjust the gains and losses of both sides, which will not cause any doubts. However, from this game, how can we make everyone believe in the explanations and promises we made in the future?"

Li Mian said: "...But, some people see this problem, and this game is not perfect."

"Creating such a complex game, from the beginning, I knew that this game must be imperfect. However, this is just a game. I am grateful to you for telling me your discovery, and I will not object to your use of the defects in the rules of the game in the competition. Because this is within the scope permitted by the rules of this game..." Ye Tao paused and said, "This game is not perfect, but it is just the first problem in formula design. After this competition, Yi Zhanlou will release the first comprehensive modification plan for various problems in the game. However, at present, since everyone is on the same starting line and is following the same rules in the game, then, in general, the authority, fairness and fairness of the game are guaranteed. Isn't it the ability of those teams and smart individuals to discover loopholes in the game?"

Li Mian recalled what Ye Tao said and bowed deeply, "I've been taught." He then asked hesitantly, "Before coming out, Princess Xiu has given me an order to ask you, can you enjoy the scenery and go to Xiuyuan to have tea tonight?"

The Empression Garden is the current name of Ye Tao's pirated Net Master Garden. In fact, during the construction, Ye Tao made some adjustments to make the small garden more full of life atmosphere and exquisite details. Since it was completed more than ten days ago, Tan Weishi moved in ten days ago, there have been banquets held almost every night under various names. The beautiful Empression Garden has become what the little princess Tan Weishi wants to show off the most. But Ye Tao has never been to any banquet, for no other reason. It's just that he feels that such a polite and false banquet is a bit troublesome to deal with. Although his friendship with Tan Weixin and familiarity with Tan Weishi have made him almost not have to consider the so-called etiquette issues in front of them, it does not mean that he can be careless and careless in front of everyone.

"Since His Highness made a special invitation, I should obey my order." After thinking about the afternoon schedule for a while, calculating the time it takes to go to the construction site in Tiecheng for a round of inspection and then rush back to take a shower and change clothes, Ye Tao agreed. At least one-third of the reason was that he didn't want to embarrass Li Mian.
