Chapter 4: The Critical Gate
Rolling, water-like black smoke was pouring out from the bottom of the rising altar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Luo Qiu, who had already experienced this situation not long ago, was not surprised. When the hidden part of the altar was all raised, Luo Qiu walked directly in front of it.
Among the seven card slots, one was already embedded - unlike the first time, this time the altar seemed to be more active, and the second gold and silver card suspended in the air slowly flew into one of the card slots.
When it is not adjacent to the first card, it is separated by two card slots.
Does it seem that there is a certain correspondence?
While thinking, Luo Qiu raised his head and looked at the projection above the altar—this projection hadn't changed since it first appeared.
Pale and almost dead orb...... Earth.
After the second gold and silver card sent by the previous boss was finally embedded in the card slot it belonged to, time seemed to stand still, but it also disappeared as if it had passed naturally.
Because it was only less than a second that had passed - Luo Qiu was able to accurately grasp his time.
He no longer exists because of these things - because everything that determines his existence has been crystallized.
And that value is time. He does not have a fixed time, that is, a fixed lifespan. It's as if he has the most accurate counter hidden in his body.
So he knows his time better than anyone else.
......
"Nothing?" Luo Qiu frowned at this time.
After the second gold and silver card was embedded, it did not live up to his expectations...... The altar that had not changed at any point made Luo Qiu subconsciously observe the newly added gold and silver card.
But in the strange pause of that time, he vaguely felt something. Luo Qiu closed his eyes and began to remember.
Is nothing really happening?
No...... Like water dripping from stalactites into a pool, there is a ripple that spreads - with this altar as the center.
The speed of the ripples is immeasurable, and in just a snap of a finger, it spreads into the distance that cannot be seen clearly, as if there is no end.
Luo Qiu just had a feeling that he seemed to have opened something...... What kind of mechanism.
......
......
When Luo Qiu came up from the lowest level, it had been more than two hours since he went down. After thinking carefully to no avail, he could only give up for the time being.
The previous boss wouldn't have asked Alex to send the second gold and silver card for no reason...... Even, the ex may not know that Luo Qiu has actually accidentally touched the first gold and silver card.
The card he asked Alex to send was probably just meant to draw his attention to the hidden part of the altar.
"Arouse my curiosity and let me collect the rest of the cards. ”
Probably only one can draw such conclusions.
Of course, he didn't think his predecessor was really calculating anything about him - every club owner had a mysterious sense - something like a sixth sense.
This feeling has never gone wrong since it was born.
In this matter, Luo Qiu couldn't feel the slightest sense of malice. And, said Aric, the predecessor ...... Checkmate.
"Master, you have come up. ”
"Hmm. Stayed for a while. Luo Qiu replied casually, but saw a different smile on the maid's face.
"Did anything happy happen?" Luo Qiu asked curiously.
"Master, isn't it a matter of joy that the critical door is opened?" Yuya congratulated softly.
"The Critical Gate?" Luo Qiu was stunned...... Hell knows what this critical gate is.
Yuya was stunned for a moment, and lightly covered his lips with his fingers, "Yuya doesn't know...... I thought it was opened by the owner. ”
"Take me to see what it is. Luo Qiu frowned and said.
He thought that the so-called critical gate would be somewhere, but what he never expected was that this gate was in the club's ...... Hall.
In the lobby, in addition to the old wooden door that allowed customers to enter, there were two more black doors at this time.
They stand upright, on either side of the lobby, and the black doors don't have handles or anything like that.
Qin Chuyu also seemed to be surprised by the sudden appearance of the two extra doors, and was silently observing at this time-before Luo Qiu did one of the doors, he didn't say anything, and pushed the door in front of him open.
"It's ......"
The black door stands upright and is not attached to the wall, so theoretically, when it is opened, there will be a central pass. But apparently Luo Qiu did not see this.
He just saw the door open as if it had opened to another world - of course, it was just a feeling.
Because what can be seen through the door frame in front of you is obviously just a black whirlpool.
"Master, please come with me. The maid lady suddenly said softly at this time.
Soon after, the two walked to the second floor of the club, and Youye smiled and said, "Master, the so-called critical door is actually a customer passage, which is to make it more convenient for customers to come to us at any time." ”
"Be careful. ”
Yuya nodded and said, "Well, it's similar to an outlet." In different parts of the world, there are points where clubs are set up. As long as it is in the vicinity of this point, guests who are eligible to become guests of the club will be able to call out the door from this point, and through the critical gate, customers can come directly to us. ”
"Teleportation?" Luo Qiu was stunned, "It's like I can go wherever I want?"
Of course, the place that Boss Luo wants to go to now is only limited to his own city - but it seems that this distance has increased a lot.
Vaguely, Luo Qiu felt that he should now be free to travel to several nearby cities—this time, after sacrificing those souls.
"Not a physical teleportation, of course. Yuya shook his head and said, "The guests have passed through the Critical Gate, and their spiritual experience has come here to talk in detail. Well, rather, their projections. Alright master, now you can light up two of the 'outlets'. ”
"Only two?" Luo Qiu was stunned for a moment—he saw two doors, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with corresponding two points. But he had thought that this was the point where all the points would be able to activate the critical gates.
"Well, a door corresponds to a point. Yuye said softly: "The appearance of the critical gate represents a further increase in your ability, master, when your ability is stronger, there will be more points that can be lit." ”
Boss Luo subconsciously said: "When the former boss is here, how many points are there?"
Yuya shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from the guests I've been in contact with, it's at least more than three hundred points." How many points there are, only the boss himself knows. ”
"Three hundred, ......"
It's as if there is no harm if there is no contrast...... Of course, Boss Luo didn't care much about this kind of injury. How many years he reigned is still unknown, but how long he has been in power, he himself knows better than anyone.
Less than five months.
Luo Qiu can light up two of the existing points, but he can also add two different points according to his preference, but once the points are opened, they will need to burn the boss's life to close them.
Why is it combustion?
Because the cost of closing a point takes a hundred years of life.
But it is undeniable that the existence of the point is quite humane...... Ghosts.
Even on the other side of the ocean, customers can come here through the critical gate, which is not much convenient for Boss Luo, but it must be convenient for the purpose of the club itself.
"Three hundred points...... Can we fit three hundred doors in our lobby?" Luo Qiu suddenly remembered another question.
"There are only two critical doors, but different points can overlap into the door's passage. So don't take up space. ”
"That's probably the better news I've heard. Luo Qiu hummed lightly, "However, how to open this point, I'll think about it again." ”
The maid lady had no opinion on her master's decision.
This is not something to be driven casually, Luo Qiu has his own plans. Once the points are opened, he cannot close one of them for a considerable period of time.
Even if he was able to open more points in the future, Luo Qiu would intend to keep those points within one limit...... Not even going to turn on any of them.
Three hundred or more points sound great?
It's just a guest, huh?
Have you ever thought about it, the guests lined up to open the door and come to the lobby to round the club's boss like rice - you may not even have time to go to the bathroom, what would it be like?
Luo Qiu suddenly understood why the previous boss didn't care about anything after the transaction...... Is it because there are too many guests and you have lost interest in follow-up?
The more business you do, the more time you can spend is shrinking.
Another problem, Yuya thought that this was the door opened by Luo Qiu himself - then he assumed that when his ability reached a certain level, he would be able to take the initiative to open the critical door. Since it is something that can be actively opened, it also means that he will have the cognition that he wants to relate to.
But apparently he doesn't have that understanding right now, which means - this is the boost that comes with the second Gold and Silver Card.
The club's power doesn't need to be boosted, as long as the deal is made, its capabilities are endless...... It's more like an opening of features.
There are seven card slots in total...... Does that mean that when they are all assembled, the full functionality of the club can be unlocked?
But Locho has failed to figure out what the club can do if the deal is done – so what else should it do?
......
"By the way, in fact, you can explain it downstairs, why did you come up on purpose?" Luo Qiu suddenly asked puzzled.
So the maid opened her beautiful blue eyes and said softly: "Since the master does not know these things, then how can I let others see the master's doubtful side?
Youye ...... It's really good.
Boss Luo's heart suddenly moved, and he wanted to say something, but that strange palpitation was instantly diluted again.
In the end, it was just a slight smile. (To be continued.) )
