Chapter 28 The Gambler of Destiny
"Hey! Brother Dire!"
Just as Luo Jie was looking for the number of the urgent task on the LCD screen above the hall, suddenly a familiar voice with some surprise came from behind.
"Brother Chief?"
Luo Jie turned around following the sound, with a little surprise in his eyes.
He didn't expect that he would be so destined to this fitness trio. It was said that this was the third chance encounter today.
The tall chief was obviously in a good mood. It must have something to do with the delicious equipment he bought before. He walked up to Luo Jie and punched Luo Jie on the shoulder as if he had been a friend for many years. He laughed and said: "Just now I was talking about you to the dancer, but I didn’t expect to see you right after I finished talking... What? Are you here for this mission too?"
The kindness shown by the other party made Luo Jie feel warm in his heart, and then he smiled back and said: "I just came over to watch the fun... I don't know what the mission is yet."
"Haha, I've already taken on that mission. Let me tell you..."
Looking at the noisy scene around her, the dancer couldn't help but frown her delicate eyebrows, tugged on the chief's sleeve, and reminded: "It's too noisy here, let's talk somewhere else."
"Oh, that's right." The chief scratched his head sheepishly, put his arm on Luo Jie's shoulder and smiled: "Let's go, let's find a quiet place to have a drink."
Players rest area.
"This is the Longjing tea you ordered, plus the private box fee, a total of 50 points."
Leaving behind the teapot, tea sets and consumption list, the young waitress in uniform withdrew respectfully and closed the door of the private room.
The noise outside was completely cut off the moment the door was closed, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The dancer skillfully picked up the teapot and poured tea for several people. She also complained in her mouth: "Such a thing costs 50 points. This player market is really good at making money..."
The chief waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "If you run out of points, you can earn them again. It's worth it... By the way, the sound insulation effect of this room is really good."
The boxer, who had not spoken much since they met, unexpectedly nodded his head, expressing his agreement with the chief.
"They are all stupid men who don't know how valuable food and rice are." The dancer rolled her eyes at the two of them, turned her head and put on a sweet smile as if changing her face, and said warmly: "Little Dire Brother, don't mind, I I didn’t say you... come, drink tea."
"Thank you." Luo Jie took the tea and thanked him, deliberately avoiding the topic.
After knowing each other for so long, he still couldn't figure out the relationship between the three people in front of him. Ordinary colleagues were not that good.
"Brother Chief, that mission..."
"Oh, you're talking about that mission." The chief showed a hearty smile, looking quite proud. "I happened to be in the mission hall at the time, so I took over the mission as soon as it came out."
With that said, the chief took out his cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Luo Jie.
The tasks that players take over will be sent to the player's registered contact phone in the form of a special encrypted text message. In addition to the player's task code, it often also comes with extremely detailed task information and related fantasy information.
"Is this... the illusion of "School Apocalypse"?"
Looking at the mission information on the screen of his mobile phone, the memories of his past life sleeping deep in his mind began to gradually wake up, and Luo Jie couldn't help but change his face slightly.
He remembered.
In previous lives, this was an extremely famous event.
About four months ago, the "School Apocalypse" fantasy world with the world background of the anime of the same name opened in the Okinawa region of Japan.
At first, this was just a normal low-difficulty biochemical fantasy. However, after two consecutive normal clearances, this fantasy unexpectedly refreshed an extremely terrifying prefix and mode, causing the difficulty to instantly soar to the level that can be achieved in a first-level fantasy. Vertex level.
After two consecutive failed clearances, Japan panicked and had to seek help from player organizations in neighboring countries.
This is the origin of this emergency mission.
“Those who clear the level with the first place in the standings will be rewarded with 30,000 points plus an F-level golden prop, those who have cleared the level with the second place in the standings will be rewarded with 20,000 points and an F-level purple item, and those who have cleared the level with the third place in the standings will be awarded 10,000 points plus an F-level purple item. F-level blue props, and all other players will receive a participation award of 1,000 points..." Luo Jie read the task rewards word for word, shook his head and sighed: "No wonder... there were so many players rushing to sign up, this time the Japanese country It’s a real investment.”
"Right!" The chief hadn't realized the subtext in Luo Jie's words, but he still said proudly: "You can get 1,000 points if you make soy sauce. If you are lucky enough to be among the top three, your fortune will skyrocket... …”
Hearing the chief's optimistic and even childish thoughts, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Luo Jie couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. However, he couldn't directly reveal all the secrets of this illusion, so he had to make insinuations and remind: "Brother Chief, Don't you...don't you think it's too rash to accept this task? You have to know that if this task is as easy as you said, it is impossible for the task entrusting party to offer such an astonishing price..."
"We know it."
This time it was not the chief who answered Luo Jie, but the dancer who had been listening to them quietly after pouring the tea.
Seeing Luo Jie looking over, she smiled and raised her hand to brush the long hair around her ears, and said in a calm tone: "We were all accidentally involved in the illusion and forced to become players. If I had a choice, I would rather give up what I got in the illusion. Everything, return to the boring but peaceful life... However, this is never possible."
"The previous experiences in illusions have made us understand a truth - in illusions, you can't always avoid danger. If you want to live longer than others, the only way is to face the danger head-on and seek for the best in the danger. An opportunity to become stronger.”
"The three of us decided to take on this mission together. Although now that I think about it, I feel like I am joking with my own life. But having said that, as long as you enter the world of fantasy, who is not trying your best? What about gambling with fate?”
Luo Jie was silent.
What the dancer said is correct. In fact, every player is a gambler. The only difference is the size of the bet each time.
"This time on your mission...can you take me with you?"
Luo Jie's sudden request made the three chiefs a little surprised. They obviously couldn't understand how Luo Jie, who was so cautious just now, could suddenly make such a decision that was completely opposite to his original idea.
