Chapter 3173 Gambling
Although the Demon World is in the middle of a melee, many shops and entertainment venues are still operating as usual.
Some people may think, aren’t they afraid of being affected?
In fact, these shops and entertainment venues are rarely affected.
This is not to say that the adventurers of the six major organizations are all good citizens who know the rules and abide by the rules. If they really abide by the rules, there would not be such tragic street battles.
Instead, the city lords of each town will appoint elite troops in the town to station themselves in the dark, ready to carry out the most violent attacks on adventurers who offend shops and entertainment venues.
Some people may ask, isn't it said that the status of the six major organizations is higher than that of the city lord? Why do their people still suffer the most violent attacks from the city lord's subordinates?
Yes, the status of the six major organizations is indeed second only to the apostles and apostle's personal guards, but here they refer to the nobles of the six major organizations, that is, the founder's family and their relatives.
The status of these people is transcendent.
For example, Heloise's personal status is above that of the city lord, which is why Heloise's actions are completely unrestricted in the northern region.
However, after arriving in the southern town, Heloise never showed her identity again, mainly because she was afraid that someone would inform the apostle's personal guards.
Except for the nobles of the six major organizations and their derived nobles, the status of other members is basically below that of the city lord.
If the top managers of the six major organizations can still be included in positions equivalent to the status of city lords, then the middle managers and lower-level managers can only serve as pawns.
This is true for the managers, not to mention the adventurers who charge into battle.
They are not even chess pieces, at most they are cannon fodder.
Of course, there are some noble children among them, but there are definitely no eldest sons and eldest daughters. As for the nobles, as long as the eldest son and eldest daughter are not fools or idiots, no matter how mediocre they are, they will be the future successors of the family. Sons, daughters, and others are branches of the family. If they can stay and add glory to the family, it's great. If they can't, it doesn't matter.
To put it another way, the second son, second daughter and so on, whether they are alive or dead, will not shake the foundation of the family.
Even the nobles themselves don't care about their second son, this daughter, and the children of the family. How can the city lord's elite troops care about the lives of these people?
I walked around with the Blue Witch for more than an hour, and stopped at the entrance of an entertainment venue.
Different from the entertainment venues in the Zephyr Continent, most of the entertainment venues here have their doors open, and they are very welcoming and welcoming, and the waiters at the door are also quite discerning. When they see the blue witch looking in, they immediately He gave up his position, gave her a good look, and stood aside with a smile, waiting for the blue witch to ask questions at any time.
This service attitude would definitely be a five-star rating on the Blue Planet!
Lured by the waiter's good service attitude, the Blue Witch couldn't help but look at all the entertainment items in the shop. Then she took my arm and pointed to an entertainment equipment not far away and said: "I want to play that!"
Following the pointing, I saw a game console similar to Pachinko.
When I was on the blue planet, I played it several times. This thing is also a gambling device. It is harmless to try it briefly, but once you get into it, it will be your own destruction.
But in front of an entertainment venue, I couldn't speak out about the harmful effects of this kind of gambling equipment, as if it was just here to ruin the place, so I looked at the Blue Witch seriously and said, "Are you really going to play with that?"
The blue witch nodded.
"Okay." As I spoke, I took out a handful of silver coins, about a dozen, from my pocket, put them in her hand, and said, "You can only play with the money, spend it all and leave."
The blue witch took the money and nodded excitedly.
"Hey, give me the tuotuo."
"No," the blue witch said as she walked in, "Tuotuo is my lucky star."
Half an hour later.
"What!" The blue witch angrily turned on the machine, which attracted the staff's attention: "This broken machine always misses, always misses, always misses! What game is this!"
I curled my lips and whispered to her: "This is how the store makes money. If you always win, how much money do they make?"
"Damn it!" the blue witch said angrily: "Liars! They are just a bunch of liars!"
The staff who passed by heard this and smiled apologetically at me. I guess everyone who lost money here will get their apologetic smile.
Anyway, it's just a smile. If you smile more, you won't lose a piece of meat. But these customers who lost money spent real money!
"Are you out of money?" he asked in a low voice. When the blue witch nodded, she sighed: "Then let's go."
She stood up and stood there for a moment. I thought she was reluctant to leave, and was about to say something to persuade her, but unexpectedly, the blue witch raised her leg, aimed at it, and kicked her hard, causing the machine to shake forward and back.
The staff on the side saw this scene, but they didn't say anything. After all, they had not seen such hot-tempered guests once or twice. Some guests even got violent and beat the passing staff on the spot. The worst examples include smashing machines and beating workers to death.
But these people, without exception, were punished by their bosses. Some spent money to get out of trouble, some were beaten, and some even lost their lives.
I just stood there with my arms folded, watching the blue witch lose her temper.
After she finished losing her temper and her face softened a little, I said, "Let's go."
The blue witch nodded, hugged Tuotuo with an unhappy look on her face, and left the store first.
I followed slowly behind.
When I passed by the waiter, he still smiled and bowed to me and said: "Welcome to visit next time."
I shook my head and said nothing.
After leaving the entertainment venue, we walked a long way. During this period, I told her the principles of Pachinko, a gambling machine.
"Gambling means nine times out of ten you lose, and the only one who wins is the banker, that is, the shop owner."
"Humph, I'm so angry!" The blue witch didn't listen to my words, she was just angry to herself.
"I want to be open, but I just lose some money. I just want to teach you a lesson and don't do it again in the future."
"But. But can't even Tuo Tuo help me transport it?" At this point, the blue witch glared at Tuo Tuo in her arms, slapped it hard, and Tuo Tuo whined in aggrievedness.
"It's not Tuotuo's fault. You chose to gamble rashly, and you chose to take risks without knowing the principles of the gambling machine. It's normal to lose, but it's troublesome to win."
"Why?" The blue witch asked puzzledly.
