Chapter 11 Chess Meets Opponents

"Snake" is an ID, an ID in an online game.

The player's ID cannot be a single word. So the snake is an NPC, an NPC played by a real person.

In the largest casino in the City of Heroes, the snake is a legendary existence.

It is said that he used to be a dealer and was responsible for blackjack. No one paid attention to this little man standing in the corner, and they all thought he was just an ordinary dealer.

In those days, the business of the table that the snake was in charge of had been poor, and the lobby manager of the plane figured it out, and it was estimated that it had something to do with the personal image of the snake.

The meticulous back, the emaciated and gloomy face, the eyes like a wild beast waiting for its prey, and even the uniform (the dealer usually wears a white or black shirt and a purple suit vest) on him had a strange feeling, as if ...... A chill is revealed.

The snake is a quiet man, he doesn't talk much, he never smiles at guests, in fact, no one expects him to smile, in people's imagination, if the snake shows a smile, it must be something like the silent lamb Hannibal is going to eat your previous smile.

He is such a person, so consistent with the temperament of his ID, as if behind this virtual world, he is not a person, but some kind of cold-blooded animal......

After Serpent had been working in the casino for two months, management fired him as the lobby manager of that plane. The reason given by the management was that the manager's vision was so bad that after more than 60 days, he had not noticed that he had such an excellent dealer as Snake, and this kind of person was obviously not qualified to be a grassroots manager in a large casino.

So, the competent person took over, and the snake took the manager's place. At this time, people learned from some "rumors from above" that it was a fact that the snake's business was not good, but the reason was not because his personal temperament was terrifying, but because he never lost. The table was like a slot machine that could never be spit out half a penny, and a game like blackjack had never won a penny from a snake.

He suddenly became unfathomable, and in the eyes of his colleagues in the past, he changed from a lonely and gloomy man to a master of gambling skills and hidden depths.

But once again, the snake is underestimated. He soon proved that the lobby manager was just a condescending talent to him.

Every day, he wandered around the casino like a ghost, with that inexplicable chill, with the eyes of the beast foraging, carefully patrolling his territory, as if he could see the fortunes of others at a glance (in fact, Wang Xu thought that he would also do this, and he consciously could see the decline of people two years ago).

He often personally replaces dealers who are losing money, giving them time to adjust their mindset and catch their breather. And he made the guests frown in an instant, and turned joy into sadness.

The plane in charge of the snake soon became one of the most profitable places in the casino, and even rumors appeared among the guests, and this plane had a lobby manager with superb gambling skills, and when he entered the door, he lost nine out of ten.

Such rumors snowballed, and the more they spread, the more evil they became, and finally some people could not sit still, because they were always compared to snakes. This "he" is the president of a well-known guild in the game, ID: God of Gamblers.

Please note that two-word IDs like this are also very rare, and obviously have to be registered during the game's closed beta and early in the closed beta.

Also, it can be seen from the intention of this gambling god to choose his name that he came to this online game, not to fight monsters, level up, and wear equipment with you, but to dominate the game gambling world.

The guild of the president of the God of Gamblers is also very interesting, basically for a group of high-level gamblers to exchange experience and experience, those gamblers who are two jujube and buckle the rope can not enter this meeting, and the membership must have a starting capital, the threshold is very high, don't come if it's too expensive, there is no silver at all, then it's not called gambling. Of course, even if you have money, you may not be able to join, you still have to have skills. What is craftsmanship? It is very easy to understand, for example, if Ip Man wants to open a martial arts gym in Hong Kong, he has to "learn from each other" with the local masters in advance, if you can't get a few real kung fu, you are deceiving the world and stealing your name, and accepting apprentices is nothing more than taking people's money and misleading people's children. So the way to tell the difference between a high-level gambler and a low-level gambler is that you have to show people your "gambling skills".

The God of Gambling does live up to the prestige of this ID, at least there is no one in his guild whose "gambling skills" are better than him, which is recognized. When his minions conquer the casinos in the main cities of the game continent, they will often report the name of their boss as the "God of Gamblers", although they often say after losing: "If our God of Gamblers boss ...... here" and the like. After winning, they generally only report their own names, and do not mention the organization's years of cultivation and care.

But! There is one thing that is intolerable to their entire guild, and it will make them feel the same hatred all at once, that is, no one can shake the position of the gambling god president as "the number one in the gambling world". If even the boss and his old man can't control it, it will hurt the self-esteem of these grandchildren!

As a result, a gamble is inevitable. Snake, and the God of Gambling, who is the king of the gambling table?

It's a big event, and the game company even promoted it on the forum, but of course, it's not big enough to be on the homepage of the official website. But this is already very exaggerated, the name of the God of Gambling has become popular, making the presidents of many other guilds quite angry, when they raised the strength of hundreds of legions to overthrow the difficult boss, the official did not publicize it to them, and now the gambler, and a small service real NPC of your game company sat down to play cards, and you actually clicked his ID?

Not to mention the group of envious, jealous and hateful guys, they will appear soon, talk about that duel. In fact, it's not so earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods. There is no conspiracy, no shootout, no Fifth Brother Long who can never be killed if he has a gun in his hand, and no one will use any superpowers to change cards.

The snake sat at the table, as calm as ever, he was just working, and the higher-ups asked him to have a one-on-one game with the player, and he agreed.

Mr. Gambler challenged the gambler in order to defend the dignity of the gambler in his mind. Many people may find this boring, but as I have said, what may seem boring to one person is extremely important to another.

In the eyes of onlookers, this is a nobody who is not fun playing online games, and he is making a fool of himself by gambling in the game, and he has held a hype publicity with an ordinary staff member of the nature of GM.

But Mr. God of Gamblers, he thinks that this victory is very important, he believes that his victory is not only his personal victory, not only the victory of his guild, but all the otaku who play online games are not fun, and gamble in the game to make a fool of themselves, a redemption battle that reflects self-worth and a sense of existence!

But only if it ...... He's going to win......

As a result, this guy failed! Fiasco!

How miserable is it? He simply stopped playing the game!

What the? Don't you think that's bad enough? Could it be that he can't kill himself? He lost so much that he had no face to mix in this game, which shows how huge the difference in strength is.

The ID of the God of Gamblers has never been on the line again, and it is estimated that it is a bit of a "shame in front of the person", just like a personal ID called: "Handsome to the scum", as a result, as soon as he appeared, all he saw were the things he fell, and they were broken.

Therefore, the gambling god who loses the bet is no longer a god, and he is no longer online.

The NPC of the snake has become famous since then, and the limelight has been unparalleled for a while, many people in order to admire the demeanor of the real gambling god in the game, and deliberately went to the casino in the city of heroes to lose some money, do you say these people are cheap? When he used to set up a blackjack stall there, you looked at him like a perverted murderer in disguise, but now when you come to see it, this guy's temperament is simply Al Pacino!

Well, people are jealous, and people are very cheap.

There is also a saying that people go to high places and water flows to low places. Snake also went to a higher place this time, he was unusually promoted to the general manager of the casino, and his career can be described as thriving, but his mystery has never disappeared, but has a tendency to intensify, because he no longer gambles himself, so perhaps, he will be undefeated from now on......

…………

On this day, the snake logged into his NPC account on time to go to work, as usual, he took care of some trivial tasks in the office, and then walked into the general control room as usual, and began a job beyond what ordinary people can do.

In this huge general control room, there are more than 50 employees, keeping an eye on the thousands of monitors in various planes of the casino.

And the snake, he stood in the middle of the room, his eyes were like torches, he was in control, he was watching everyone in the casino, the thousands of tricks that the system couldn't catch, the blind spots that the staff missed, he could perceive, just like the instinct of a beast, accurate, foolproof.

"Enlarge the A33 lens." His voice rang out suddenly.

The monitor in charge of that shot quickly took action. The snake walked up behind him and pointed to the screen: "Zoom in again, yes, at that player." He looked at Wang Xu in the camera, and whispered in his mouth: "Guiguzi...... Quirky name. He turned slightly to the staff member and said, "Check his record so far." ”

"Okay." The monitor immediately called up all the winners and losers since Wang Xu entered the casino, and the final summary was that the game currency was +1000000.

"How so?" The monitor looked very surprised, generally speaking, if a player wins more than 50,000, he should receive the news, but Wang Xu won so much in a very short period of time, and none of the dealers in the field reported anything unusual.

So he flipped through the detailed records, which showed every bet Wang Xu made, every game he participated in, the dealer at the table, and the other players who gambled with him, and so on.

The snake only stared at the records for a few seconds, and then said to the monitor, "Okay, you don't have to look at the data anymore, you can't see anything, he's a first-class master." ”

The monitoring room was silent for an instant, and everyone turned around and looked at their general manager, a man who had never made any comments on the gambling skills of the guests, and said such a sentence.

"Economic ...... Manger...... He ......" The monitor pointed to the screen in front of him, and at this moment, Wang Xu was sneering at the camera.

The snake also sneered: "Interesting......"
