"Then, have you read Yi Tian Suan?"
Su Junyu's question caught Geng Peng off guard.
Those who could become disciples of the Myriad Dharma Sect generally did not have low intelligence. Geng Peng was no fool; at the very least, he understood what Su Junyu was trying to point out. But...
"I have not. I only heard Senior Brother Li mention it a few times while I was in the sect." Geng Peng said, "Senior Brother Su, if you intend to use this to lecture me, you had best make it plain and easy to understand."
Many Ten Thousand Techniques Disciples had deeply felt that geniuses and ordinary people simply could not play together.
Su Junyu shook his head. "I'm not going to talk about anything like that—zero-sum games. You've heard the term, right?"
Geng Peng nodded. "Two players contend upon a chessboard. One side's gains must mean the other side's losses. When their gains and losses are added together, the total is always 'zero.' There is no possibility of cooperation between the two sides. That is a zero-sum game."
Su Junyu praised, "Your fundamentals aren't bad. Since you know zero-sum games, then you should know non-zero-sum games as well, right?"
Geng Peng nodded again. "I know a little about those..."
"Since you know these concepts, it'll be easier for me to explain." Su Junyu gathered his thoughts and said, "For Ten Thousand Techniques Disciples, zero-sum games are the simplest, and also the dullest. Do you know why?"
Geng Peng thought for a moment. "The rules are clear, the conditions are set from the beginning, and one side's abundance necessarily means the other side's deficiency. The amount gained and lost is the same... This sort of contest is merely a pure comparison of the two sides' computational ability."
