Chapter 18: Dominating the World: The City of Carlo
On the way through Saigo, we did some business by the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although the daily expenses of the retinue samurai are not large, a team of forty people is a lot of money in total. Fortunately, I have walked this route many times, and the stores I invested in before are still there, and they are still providing me with a steady stream of income. Feeding this team is not yet a problem.
Two days later, we arrived at the Castle of Saigo. There's a very foreign name here: Carlo. The size of the city is comparable to that of Mesoso, the central city of the mainland. And compared to Mae So, which is always under the threat of war, it is more prosperous here.
When I first came to Saigo, I always had a question. It is said that Saigo is the reserved place of the Golden Wheel Company, and most of the people who are stationed here are the company's VIP customers. Ordinary players are reluctant to enter. There's no fun in battle, and there's no chance to chase profiteering. So what do customers here do to make money? You won't rely on game companies to give them a share!
It wasn't until Carlo that I understood. Carlo, and Garth, the other main city of Saigo, sound familiar to you? That's right, it's a casino with the largest casino on the continent.
Since I have come to Las Vegas, I cannot let my brothers come for nothing. I gave each of them 50,000 dollars," I said in the first place. That's all I can do for you. If anyone loses to someone who is detained. Find a way to make money yourself. I will not come to ransom you. ā
"Alright, boss." Five buddies disappear into the casino. AI doesn't need to be entertained. With the exception of one samurai each who served as bodyguards, the other samurai still trained at their garrisons outside the castle. What about me? I don't have time to gamble. After leveling up, Kerr and I both need to update our equipment. Kerr also needs to dress up a little. So I took Kerr to the biggest costume store in the city.
"Yo, isn't this Master Qiming?" The shopkeeper recognized me at a glance, "What gust of wind has blown you?" I also brought such a beautiful female companion. ā
Kerr stopped in front of a huge shop window. Inside is a gorgeous costume in dark red. Delicate headdress, white fur-trimmed cape, and a long skirt mopping the floor.
"This one is out of print, and only two sets have been made." The shopkeeper said, "The other one is at Princess Allure's." She wore this one when she toured the North last winter. ā
Look at me.
"But we're going to the Southland, and we won't be back anytime soon." I say.
"Southland, right? I'm afraid I won't have a chance to wear this outfit. The shopkeeper said.
"I didn't say I wanted to buy it." Kerr said.
"Then why don't you try it on? Isn't it, boss. ā
"Of course, Master Qiming naturally has no problem."
Kerr changed into her suit and writhed excitedly in front of the mirror. Inadvertently, a slender bare leg in boots peeks out of the skirt from the slit. She immediately retracted her legs, her face crimson. "Is this what you wear in the northern winter?"
Kerr then tries on the store's clothing, including long dresses, short coats, and suits. But he never expressed any intention to buy. The shopkeeper followed diligently throughout the process.
I saw a set of outfits in the middle, apparently a sleeved corset and a pair of tight shorts. The sleeves are embellished with embellishments for a modern look. I asked the shopkeeper, "And there are such clothes." How come I never see anyone wearing it? "Looking further in, there's a bikini that is similar to jewelry decoration that is common in other games, and it's actually sold here.
The shopkeeper whispered to me, "This is what the dancing girls in the big casino wear." You can see it by spending money. ā
I see. The conservative costumes in this game are for this reason. Even this can be a selling point. This Golden Wheel Company is really good at doing business. At this time, a dirty thought suddenly popped into my mind. If I buy a group of dancers from Nanguo, let them wear revealing costumes, and pull them to Shuofang to perform, will I be able to make a lot of money?
But at this moment, somehow, I couldn't help but suddenly think of the fire phoenix and her beautiful legs that should not have been exposed according to her. And her inexplicable charge for a hundred gold coins at a time. It's hard to tie this together! How much this affects the beautiful image of Sister Phoenix in my heart!
I turned my head to look at Kerr and asked her with a smile, "Would you like to give it a try?" ā
"Don't." She flatly refused.
In the end, we each asked for a set of swordsman-level armor. I'd like to buy a skirt-style armor lining for Kerr. She only chose long-sleeved trousers. In fact, the so-called skirt style is nothing more than cutting trousers into small shorts and stockings. With the degree of wrapping of the swordsman's armor, the exposed thighs are almost impossible to see under the short skirt.
When I came out of the store, I saw a chic building with a white roof and blue walls at the end of the road. "What's that?" Kerr asked.
"That's the Princess's Mansion."
"It's so beautiful!"
"When we are developed in the future, I will also give you a house like this." I said casually.
"Really?" She asked.
Not far from the princess's mansion, there is also a very imposing large building: the Grand Colosseum. Gladiatorial tournaments of samurai of multiple levels are being held inside. I took Kerr to a low-level venue where I was free of charge. Two AI swordsmen are competing in the arena. I looked inside the arena and asked Ke'er, "Ke'er, can you beat them?" ā
"Almost!" She said.
"Would you like to try it out?"
"Me, is that okay?"
"Absolutely. If you are guaranteed to win, I will bet on you. You can't afford to lose. I'm counting on you to make money. ā
As he spoke, a swordsman had already been stabbed in the chest with a sword from his opponent, and he fell down. The moderator declares the other party the winner. The wounded were carried down and appeared to be dying.
"How? Kerr. I asked.
"Do you have to seriously injure your opponent?"
"You've got to get your opponent out of the fight. Otherwise, you will be seriously injured or killed. Are you willing to play now? ā
"If the master asks me to go." She said, looking extremely reluctant.
"What if I told you that it is said that the average life expectancy of a samurai who participated in gladiatorial fights did not exceed three months. Are you still willing to play? ā
She looked at me and bit her lip, "Then can I not go?" ā
"Okay!" I pulled her up, "Let's go back." I don't want my Kerr to get hurt for no reason. "I didn't tell her that the average lifespan of a samurai was only two months. Ke'er has been able to live until now, which is already a long time.
Back at the station, several gamblers have returned. Except for Qingyuan, several others have already lost all their gambling funds. Canglong even lost 300,000 gold coins. "Brother Qingyuan, what about you?"
"I made a little profit, more than 40,000 yuan!"
"What, why are you so lucky?"
"Honestly. I've never lost in a casino. ā
"How is this possible?" I asked.
He looked at me, "We're on the computer, aren't we?" What are the characteristics of computer software? ā
"There are no such things as chances in computers." That's why I think you have to lose gambling on the computer.
"Another feature of computer software is that all software has vulnerabilities."
"Oh, I see."
So the next day, the guys took the hacking plugin I had worked on all night and ran back to the casino. As a result, in less than half a day, they were politely invited out by the casino owner and asked them to leave with the 500,000 gold coins earned by each person.
We updated our team and left Carlo. Two days later, we crossed the Nanjiang River and entered the Yilin area.
