Chapter 422: High-Stakes Survivor Competition

Chapter 422 "Big Gamble" Survivor Competition

"Heh, if anyone defines this gambling as a game of winning or losing, he will inevitably go astray; a seemingly unskilled rule may cost him his life..."

The Black Panther girl sat in front of the slot machine that was being activated, looking at the dignitaries rushing over from the interactive gambling area from a distance, and "chatting" with Princess Senxi.

The True Spirit Spider Web can provide both group mind communication and directional mind communication, depending on the authority set by the initiator of the contract.

"Yes, in the S-level copy, only those who can always be clear are qualified to survive." Princess Senxi smiled sweetly beside her.

She took the opportunity to look at the back of Jiang Qian in the front row and saw that he was always focused on the slot machine in front of him, as if he was immersed in his own world, and was not affected by the current commotion at all.

The countdown continued.

The dignitaries who had not yet obtained a seat in the gambling area were like ants on a hot pot, trying to find a ray of hope:

Someone came to the nearest slot machine and began to coerce and lure colleagues who had already occupied the slot machine position.

But no one bought it: "I'm sorry, there are only a few machines. If I give them to you, I will be eliminated."

So the former used both soft and hard tactics, negotiating to exchange positions after the other party played a few games, so that both sides could successfully pass the elimination watershed. Of course, the condition was to exchange 100,000 chips!

This deal was very cost-effective. Although the price was expensive, it was at least better than being eliminated directly.

However, not long after, the agreed price went up.

"Hey, are you done? Time is almost up." A big bear man asked a Zerg man with glasses in front of him with a serious face.

"No, brother," the latter showed embarrassment, "My luck is still there, why don't you ask others?"

The bear elder frowned: "Are you kidding me? If you want to raise the price, just say it directly, it's not worth talking about these useless things!"

The Zerg man with glasses was not angry either, and silently made a "two" gesture to the other party, raising the price to 200,000!

Originally, each person's initial chips were only 400,000 dollars. With just one error in choice, he dared to take away 50% of the other party's wealth. He was really a good businessman.

The bear brother laughed angrily. He tried to maintain his demeanor and teased: "Why don't you just ask for 400,000?"

The other party also laughed: "That's a bit embarrassing, brother."

"You..."

[Countdown 10 minutes. ]

[Dear guests who have not yet opened the theme of tonight, please take a seat quickly. ]

The urging sound from the copy once again resounded in the ears of every dignitary being tested.

Time waits for no one, and the rules will clear the dignitaries who have not taken a seat out of the venue at any time!

The bear brother almost gnashed his teeth and agreed: "Okay! 200,000 is 200,000, give up your seat!"

As he said that, he threw half of the chips at the other party's hand!

The slot machine in "City of Desire" can directly use chips as coins, eliminating the cumbersome exchange process, and a set of chips is universal for the whole venue.

The eyes of the man with glasses from the Zerg tribe immediately lit up. Without being urged, he quickly counted the chips and prepared to stand up and give up his seat...

However, the moment he stood up, his expression froze for a moment and his movements stopped.

"What's wrong?" The elder brother from the Bear tribe was worried that he would continue to raise the price, and veins popped out on his forehead.

"Brother, I'm really sorry," the man with glasses returned the chips to the other party with apology, "I can't exchange this one with you."

"Fuck?!"

After several times, the elder brother from the Bear tribe couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed the collar and pulled up the man with glasses who went back on his word: "This is not how business is done!"

"No, brother, it's not about money, it's really that I can't exchange..."

Before the Zerg man with glasses finished speaking, his body suddenly lost balance, and he was thrown off the seat by a force and fell backwards!

In shock, he saw the fierceness flashing in the eyes of the elder brother from the Bear tribe.

At the place where his head was about to hit the ground, an inverted animal fang had been waiting for a long time.

Fighting is prohibited in casinos, but what should be done if it is an "accident"?

Many people were watching this scene, their hearts were like a tidal wave.

Until blood splashed!

"Puff——"

The man with glasses from the Zerg tribe huddled on the ground, staring at the chest of the bear tribe brother being pierced by an orange light, forming a bloody hole with a smooth cut.

Blood gushed out "puff puff", dyeing a large area of ​​the front of the lapel red, and the bear tribe dignitary also fell down in this continuous gushing... In the process of falling to the ground, the mighty and strong body gradually turned into chips scattered all over the ground!

Everyone was shocked.

Looking around, I felt that the chips turned into human bodies were much more than the 400,000 chips he carried with him.

The Zerg cobra swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and the animal fangs at his feet were shattered.

Next to the shattered animal fangs, stood a majestic man in a casino uniform, holding a long sword, and he was awe-inspiring without anger. It was the Five-State Dignitary Golden Eagle Martial Saint!

"Fighting is prohibited in the casino, including any form of provocation and framing. Violators will be eliminated."

The Golden Eagle Martial Saint explained his law enforcement reasons in the simplest language, and in full view of the public, he reached forward and put all the blood-stained chips on the ground into his own bag.

Then he walked away without looking back.

[Countdown 5 minutes! ]

The copy prompt rang in everyone's ears, drawing their attention back.

The Zerg glasses man was about to stand up when two figures passed by him like lightning and headed straight for his vacant camera position!

"Bang!"

The two figures collided with a loud bang!

It was unknown who took the initiative, but several nearby surveillance cameras simultaneously emitted several red lights, instantly crushing the two into a pile of cold chips...

Ironically, the brutal snatch did not stop because of this. The only empty seat in the gambling area became the common hope for those on the verge of elimination!

In the last 5 minutes of the countdown, the dignitaries who had not yet obtained a seat took risks again, and the sound of human bodies being broken into chips and falling to the ground came one after another. In the end of the scramble, there were chips all over the floor and no one picked them up.

"Am I right?" Jiang Qian looked at the Wasteland Killing God beside him, his eyes deep and calm.

The second-generation dignitary of the Dog Clan, the Wasteland Killing God, stared at his colleagues who were constantly turning into chips more than ten meters away, trying his best to suppress the astonishment and fear rising in his heart.

Not long ago, he followed Qianlong Wulai to the human-machine gambling area, waiting for an opportunity to provoke him. While he was brewing, he unexpectedly came over to chat with him and proposed a cooperation that he could not refuse.

Then, this newly promoted nobleman who had been "taught a lesson" by him in the hotel lobby slowly predicted the dramatic conflict that would occur within 30 minutes of the start, and asked him to witness it with his own eyes before considering whether to agree.

The result made him laugh and cry: all hits.

The Wasteland Killer lowered his voice to Jiang Qian with fear: "What did you... do?"

"Handle? How could I have that ability? It all depends on this." Jiang Qian pointed to his forehead and smiled freely.

The Wasteland Killer was stunned there, and for the first time he felt like a country bumpkin.

If possible, he would rather not have this epiphany. So he subconsciously wanted to get rid of the current atmosphere immediately, get rid of the passivity of being led by the nose, and especially get rid of the hidden dragon!

However, he was still a step late.

At the moment of being stunned, Jiang Qian hooked his shoulder and said a more bewitching "magic spell" in his calm and confident tone:

"You have seen it all. This game is not only cruel but also very difficult. The chance of being on the list is almost zero. Only if you and I work together can we have a chance to succeed."

The heart of the God of Killing in the Wasteland was surging, and his thoughts were struggling fiercely.

When the time returned to zero, all the subjects who had not yet got a seat were shattered!

The chips piled on the ground were shocking...

Of the 49 people, 15 were eliminated.

At this point, someone finally stood up and left the table, rushing towards the unclaimed chips!

But when the first person picked up the chips, his eyes suddenly raised, and his head moved from his neck and flew more than ten meters away.

His body always kept the action of holding the chips tightly, and slowly fell down.

The people behind him all froze in place, staring at the beautiful figure falling from the sky in silence.

She wore the same casino uniform as the Golden Eagle Martial Saint. She was young, beautiful, fair and cold. Her long flowing hair was black and smooth, but her temperament was as cold as frost, which was daunting.

"The right to interpret the chips belongs to the casino."

...

The interactive gambling area was also in a mess, with chips everywhere.

Many people had heard about the disputes in the human-machine gambling area, but this did not alert the losers who were fighting desperately. This wave of illegal operations was not completely stupid. On the contrary, even if they abided by the rules, they could not avoid the crisis of a one-size-fits-all cut at the 30-minute watershed.

In the end, the dignitaries with positions became the winners in this fight. Some of them had bloodstains on their suits, and some were even covered with scars.

They survived with great difficulty, but they still had to continue to face the pressure from the dealer.

"Banker, or player?"

On the gambling table of Xiaolongnu, the pressure just came to Bai Wumian.

He looked at the high-ranking dignitary Xiaolongnu across the gambling table in front of him. Any technical operation became difficult to perform under the gaze of these sharp and cold eyes.

She exudes a strong magical power, making it easy for people to foresee the consequences of playing tricks in front of her without permission.

"This gentleman?"

Xiao Longnu reminded again.

Bai Wumian suddenly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to press the chips under his palm, and finally pushed them forward: "Idle!"

The cards are opened, and the dealer wins.

His loss is not too heavy.

Xiao Longnu smiled, took away a lot of chips, and continued to play calmly.

This can't go on... Bai Wumian realized that there was something wrong with his feng shui, and wanted to get up and leave to change his luck. As a result, as soon as his butt left the seat, he heard the copy prompt:

[Prompt: You have left. ]

[Tonight's theme task has been opened. You must not leave for more than 30 minutes, otherwise you will be automatically eliminated. ]

Bai Wumian was shocked and frowned.

Thinking of the theme of tonight, "Gamble! Gamble! Gamble!", it seems that there is no chance to slack off in this 12-hour gambling task. It is no exaggeration to say that even the time for smoking and going to the toilet has to be raced against time.

He looked at the other people in front of the gambling table, none of them had the intention to leave, so he sat down silently again.

He did not know about the human-machine gambling area, but the 19 seats in the interactive gambling area were not vacant for the time being.

"What's wrong, bad luck?"

The King of Hell beside him patted his shoulder with a playful expression on his face.

Bai Wumian smiled slightly awkwardly: "I am willing to accept the loss, I can still play."

"Oh, then you continue!"

After saying this, King of Hell immediately stood up and left the table. Before leaving, he did not forget to turn around and nod to Bai Wumian.

This greeting made Bai Wumian a little puzzled.

He knew that Hai Yanwang was a man of some means among the nobles of the Scale Clan, but the two of them had no contact or friendship on weekdays, so he didn't understand why the other party suddenly became enthusiastic about him.

When it was his turn to place a bet, Bai Wumian subconsciously touched his black gloves, and then he suddenly realized that his chips were gone!

Except for the five nobles who were the dealer, the chips exchanged by the others were all in their hands, either spread directly on the table or stored in the storage props they carried with them.

Most of Bai Wumian's chips were stored in his gloves, and now they disappeared inexplicably.

"Who is it?!"

Bai Wumian stood up from his seat and looked around, but he only saw a pair of confused, puzzled and even disgusted eyes focusing on him.

Suddenly, the face of Hai Yanwang jumped into his mind.

Is it him? ! Yes, it must be him. He was the only one who had contact with me in the whole venue. This person used some means to bypass the surveillance video and stole my chips! Damn it... Bai Wumian was struggling with his mind, his heartbeat accelerated, and cold sweat broke out.

In the shaded partition not far away, Hai Yanwang was confronting another five-state master.

Di Ting Wanjie had changed his red copper armor into the same uniform as the casino. He sat cross-legged with his back against the partition, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep. He glanced at Hai Yanwang, who looked alert, casually, and a sly look flashed in his eyes: "Do you want to confess yourself, or do I do it myself?"

"What evidence do you have?" Hai Yanwang pretended to be relaxed.

"Hey! I'm here to catch pickpockets. If you don't believe me, I'll show you how to do it?"

After a short silence, Hai Yanwang relaxed his shoulders, took out the 800,000 chips he had just "looted" from the interactive gambling area, and offered them with both hands: "Please be merciful."

Di Ting Wanjie grinned and shook his finger in front of him: "No, I'll only take 50%."

Hai Yanwang raised his eyebrows: "Join hands?"

"How about it, sincere enough!"

The two are old acquaintances, and they know each other's advantages very well, so they hit it off: "Deal!"

...

"Sir?"

Xiao Longnu's unique magnetic voice came again.

Bai Wumian suddenly looked up, he was facing an irreversible result: the chips he had bet were his last foundation, if the result was a loss, he would be eliminated on the spot; similarly, even if he gave up at this moment, he would immediately lose everything.

"Banker? Or player?"

Familiar lines, very different moods

Bai Wumian knew it was stupid, but he had no choice: "My chips were just stolen... Is there any way to remedy this? Can I borrow money?"

"Loan money? Brother, where do you think this is?" Someone added insult to injury. But more people remained silent.

Until someone else suddenly stood up and claimed that his chips were gone: "Wait, my chips... My chips are gone too?!"

"Fuck! Which bastard did this? He returned my chips!"

The dignitaries sitting around the gambling table were in a commotion, and someone took advantage of the chaos to reach into the deck of cards...

The gambler who found out that his chips were missing was shocked and angry: "Check, check the surveillance! Someone must have tampered with it, find this bastard!"

"If he was caught on camera, he would die here on the spot."

Xiao Longnu said.

In the face of the commotion, she was not panicked at all, and always maintained an elegant and decent smile: "Just like this..."

As she spoke, her eyes moved and looked at the deck of cards that had just been tampered with.

Everyone's eyes focused, and a powerful person nearby suddenly staggered up with his throat pinched!

He looked at Xiao Longnu in shock, as if something was surging in his throat, blocking his breathing and stifling his arguments.

Xiao Longnu ignored his struggle, but reached out and gently scraped the deck, picked out the swapped cards accurately, shook them in front of everyone, and threw them away.

Everyone held their breath and watched their colleague who was caught cheating struggle to death! His face turned purple, and finally the chips shattered into a pile of chips, which were easily collected by Xiao Longnu, the dealer.

"Unfortunately, this round is void."

Xiao Longnu's final conclusion was like a rain from heaven, giving the three gamblers whose chips were stolen at the scene hope of survival.

Bai Wumian almost collapsed in his seat. He clenched the few chips that were returned and fled from his seat as if to escape...

Xiao Longnu looked at the helpless expressions of the four kinds of dignitaries around him with pity, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

At this time, Bai Xiaoxi, who was at the adjacent gambling table, also made a lot of money.

Someone had already bet his entire fortune, and it was zero on the spot! The 400,000 chips held and the 1 million chips for redemption all fed the appetite of the dealer.

All the gamblers who were still high-spirited before were now in danger.

At the end of the first hour after the theme task began, the electronic screen between the human-machine gambling area and the interactive gambling area suddenly changed:

The original promotional image was replaced by rows of titles and numbers, which were the IDs and number of chips held by all the dignitaries in the audience!

After the baptism of the elimination watershed at the beginning of the game, and the subsequent half-hour gambling battle, there are 26 people among the 44 four-state dignitaries who are still in the game; plus the 5 five-state masters who are "bankers", a total of 31 people.

Among these 31 people, the top three are all five-state dignitaries without exception:

First place: Xiaolongnu, chips held: 2.26 million.

Second place: Diting Wanjie, chips held: 1.8 million.

Third place: Bai Xiaoxi, chips held: 1.75 million.

…

Among the four types of dignitaries, only the Sea King ranked high, holding a total of 1.39 million chips, attracting attention from all parties.

On the contrary, Qianlong Wuyong, who was previously the focus of everyone, ranked in the middle and performed far below expectations.

Not only that, even the Princess Senxi of the Tree Clan and the newly promoted dignitary Honghu Yufei of the Feather Clan, who were favored by all parties in the early stage, also performed mediocrely and made no achievements.

However, for colleagues in the game, these thoughts only flashed through their minds briefly, and were immediately replaced by the anxiety of "losing everything and being eliminated".

In the face of crisis, everyone is still most concerned about themselves.

At this time, the four chief examiners at the first scene and the high-level observers at the second scene were also gathered together in the form of holographic images, paying attention to this three-day simulated combat assessment.

Compared with the people in the game, the current ranking did not bring much emotional fluctuations to these experienced high-ranking officials.

The three-day assessment has just begun, and the good show is yet to come.

Unless the highly anticipated Qianlong Wuyong is eliminated unexpectedly, no news can be considered explosive.

But it is inevitable that some people will watch the excitement and not mind the small things.

At the first scene, the four elders who supervised the assessment were also paying attention to the assessment in the copy in the form of holographic images.

Regarding the performance of the dignitaries so far, Elder Diexue yawned and was the first to express his feelings: "This batch of seedlings is not easy to lead!"

"Why does Elder Diexue say this?" Elder Sven smiled and responded.

"Just look at Qianlong Wuyong and you will know."

"Oh?" This time Elder Helian also became interested.

Although Elder Jin did not speak, he was also paying attention silently.

"Alas!" Elder Diexue suddenly looked worried, and his tone was intriguing, "Should I praise him for his intelligence, or blame him for his passive response?"

At this point, Elder Helian and Elder Jin both tasted the taste, and they all knew that Qianlong Wuyong missed Elder Diexue's banquet for some reason, which made the old comrade unhappy.

So even if Diexue mentioned Qianlong Wuyong's "wrongness", the two had no intention of arguing with him, and chose to remain silent and keep the peace.

Only Siwen spoke his mind directly:

"Brother Diexue, don't be anxious. This copy is not about the victory or defeat of a single game. Qianlong Wuyong's dormant strategy conforms to the winning rules under the current rules. As long as he stays safe throughout the process and is not eliminated, it is a successful operation."

The Diexue elder said "Huh", and a sneer appeared on his dark face:

"I thought the super genius you mentioned was so great? The dormant strategy... Haha, a strategy that can be seen through by you and me at a glance, that is not wonderful! I can only say that it is not satisfactory, not satisfactory..."

This "not satisfactory" made Elder Helian feel somewhat offended.

After all, she is the spokesperson of the Predator Family, and Qianlong Wuyong is an elite who was personally promoted by the Predator Supreme. If she did not respond to such ridicule at all, she would feel that she was derelict of duty.

So he smiled and said: "Elder Diexue, are your expectations for Qianlong Wuyong a little too high?"

"No! I just think that Qianlong Wuyong's level is exaggerated!"

Elder Diexue didn't mind continuing to make up for it: "So far, his performance is very much like a shrewd dungeon raider, and a dungeon raider with predictable behavior strategies."

These tricky words directly lowered the atmosphere of the first scene to freezing point.

The smile on Elder Helian's mouth disappeared, Elder Jin also looked serious and silent, and Elder Sven only hated that he was not at the scene, otherwise he would definitely risk his face and manually ban Diexue!

Until, the Sky Eye imaging showed that someone won the "million-dollar jackpot" in the human-machine gambling area:

The name that was just enthusiastically discussed by several clergy elders-"Qianlong Wuyong" has been ranked all the way up! Super Yuehai Yanwang, ranked first among the four states of dignitaries.
