Chapter 1: Las Vegas

"Welcome to Las Vegas! Great space capital! "A big, fat white man with a fat brain stood in front of Kirk. At Kirk's feet was a teleportation device, and he was teleported directly to it by space.

"Is there any difference between this Las Vegas and the real American one?" Kirk was a little curious.

"Kid, let's put it this way, that Las Vegas is a crappy imitation, a shoddy plagiarism of our ideas. Compared to the great Las Vegas of space, the one on Earth is just a hillbilly! The big fat man puffed the smoke ring with a cigar in his mouth.

Kirk laughed: "So, this is space? โ€

"The headquarters of the space, to be exact. Everything you want, you can find it here. As long as you have money..." The big fat man laughed.

"Money?"

"Survival points, a large number of survival points, equipment, especially high-level goods, are better, skill points, attribute points, and strange things can be exchanged for survival points..." The big fat man smiled: "Look at you as a novice." โ€

Kirk subconsciously took two steps back, smiling rather than smiling: "Novices are discriminated against here? โ€œ

"No, no, no! God is above. The big fat man hurriedly explained: "I hate anyone who discriminates against newbies!" If someone bullies you, I will stand up for you! โ€

"You're so good?" Kirk didn't seem to believe it: "Our hometown has a word, no profit can not be early." โ€

"You're right, I'm just an early bird." The fat man laughed: "I am a professional broker, and I can also work part-time as a professional manager." I'm here to greet newcomers. Your presence has brought endless vitality and wealth to this great city! Therefore, at least in the eyes of us aborigines, you newbies are the cutest people, and any discrimination and bullying of newbies will be ruthlessly punished by space. Of course, you yourself must also be careful not to be deceived, if you voluntarily suffer, space can not do anything. โ€

"And what exactly is your service?" Kirk was still a little confused.

"Information, information." The fat man smiled: "I am responsible for greeting you, just like the welcome in the mall." Then I can show you around the city and introduce you, so as not to waste your precious 24 hours, God knows what kind of novice only has 24 hours..."

"What about 24 hours later?" Kirk asked.

"Homecoming, of course. God, didn't they ever give you a Beginner's Guide? The lads now are less and less serious about their work. The fat man was very angry: "Listen, son, I'll just say it once." Space is a big concept, it is said that it was created by the creator god here, who knows the way? We're in the Las Vegas headquarters, and there are other headquarters, but very few people have the opportunity to go to other headquarters. The transmission here is mainly focused on American dramas, HBO, FOX and so on. Of course, there are individual films. You contractors need to travel between the various story planes, complete the tasks assigned by the space, bring back as many resources as possible, and then come here to enjoy life. โ€

"Then why would I, a Chinese, travel to the American drama space?"

"We don't know the principle of absorbing new people in space, but now the fact is that you are already here, and I don't think you can go anywhere else." The fat man shrugged his shoulders and continued: "You contractors, like mercenaries, may travel through time and space at all levels of movies, games, and novels, constantly surviving and evolving. The high elimination rate must have been well experienced in the novice plot. โ€

"I know it." Kirk thought of a dozen newcomers entering The Walking Dead, and only a few returned to space.

"What does Las Vegas have to offer?" Kirk asked curiously.

"It's all about what you need, and all the desires you need can be fulfilled here. Woman? Girl? Girlfriend? Drugs? Mansions?ยทยทยทยท" The fat man's eyebrows danced.

"What about equipment and skills?" Kirk interrupted him.

"Equipment and skills, yes, yes, that's certainly a top priority. You can buy from the contractor and the store, the supermarket and sometimes have discounts. It's just that these are general road goods. It can be exchanged, from the contractor. Auctions are available. It's okay to gamble! Saying "gambling," the fat man got excited.

"Yes, just like the name of this great city, gambling is everything!" The fat man threw Kirk a piece of paper.

The paper was apparently torn from the Beginner's Manual and read:

"The headquarters of your space is a casino called Las Vegas.

Here, as long as you have enough survival points, you can buy everything, even a second life, and you can also satisfy all your desires, beauty, wealth, and enjoyment. This is a paradise for the powerful, but a hell for those who have no money and no strength. However, the biggest highlight of Las Vegas is its well-developed and well-developed gambling system. You can bet on anything. You can gamble with your captured keys, equipment, spirit stones, and so on, and even your own life. The space will be raked and the price will be expensive. But as long as you have good luck, everything belongs to you.

"Gambling key" is to take out the plot characters, plot monsters and the key to kill the contractor, and directly bet with other contractors without opening the key. Transactions can be made through face-to-face transactions or through bidding auctions. The space will give the approximate information of the slain contractor and the weighted fair value of the key (i.e., the value of the various rewards * the probability of obtaining the rewards are all added up. The sum of the probability of obtaining the reward must be 100%), for the reference of the key bettor. The market maker auction is an unreserved auction, and the final transaction price is determined by supply and demand and bidding. It may be that a light blue key will command a high price, simply because the contractor information published by the space is attractive to the buyer, or it has equipment that the buyer likes.

"Gambling equipment" means that when the equipment comes out, high-level equipment needs to identify scrolls, identification spells or space identification (the contractor cannot master the relevant identification skills), and the contractor who obtains it deliberately chooses not to open the attribute and does not conduct identification. The equipment will always remain shrouded in mist, only knowing its grade. "Gambling equipment" can choose "big bet" or "small bet". The big bet is that in addition to the grade of the equipment, even the equipment is what it is, the specific attributes are all unknown, and there is no reserve price bidding bet. Small gambling is that you can open a part of the information, or even open a part of the attributes, leaving a part of the attributes or information for gambling. It may be that a piece of dark gold equipment has 3 attributes, and just betting on the 4th can change its value by more than 10 times. Since all the gambling equipment is notarized and supervised by the space from the equipment as soon as it comes out, there is no possibility for dealers to play tricks, and it is sought after by human contractors.

"Betting on skills" is somewhat similar to betting on equipment, and monsters sometimes drop skill scrolls, and bet on them without identification. There are good and bad skills, and there are high and low grades, which makes the price of the same level of skills sometimes differ by dozens of times, and there is room for profit.

"Gambling on life". Money in space can buy everything, big ass, drugs, wine, mansions, and even your life! There are always a lot of indulgent people who will become bad gamblers, and when they lose everything, they will only be left with their own lives. Don't worry, the space will give you a chance to turn over, you only need to fight black boxing in the space or choose the enemy to fight, fight with other contractors or fight against monsters, you can also have a chance to turn over with salted fish, the reward is very generous, as long as you can survive, you will really have no bones left when you die. If you fight against an enemy, you can even inherit most of his legacy! Other contractors can place bets. โ€

After Kirk finished reading it, the fat man rubbed his hands and smiled and said, "For the sake of my Pang Leith who has spent a long time talking to you here, how about patronizing the business?" With only 100 survival points, you can hire me for a day. I'm here to take you around Las Vegas in the most efficient way possible. As I said, you only have 24 hours in this fascinating city, which will determine whether or not you will survive the next story. Every minute counts! โ€

Kirk was impressed and traded 100 survival points past. The fat man's eyes lit up with white light, and his smile became even brighter.

"Ah, dear patron Mr. Kirk, where do you want to begin? Casino? Salesroom? Hotel? Or the Moulin Rouge with big ass girls with beautiful legs? It's heaven there. The fat man was already rubbing his hands in confusion.

Kirk glanced at him, but he didn't expect that this fat man was very likely to pimp in addition to the brokers and professional managers he introduced. It's interesting.

"I'd like to see the room that the space has assigned to us." Kirk's heart said that the most important thing is to look at your own home first.

"Room?" The white fat man was stunned for a moment, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Mr. Kirk, like many novices, you have read too many novels called Infinite Stream." There are no private rooms for you newbies in this space! โ€

"And where do we stay?" Kirk was taken aback.

"Hotel. Temporary. The fat man spat out the smoke ring: "There are many options. โ€

"Does it make a difference to our strength?"

"There's a difference in health and energy regeneration, but it's a small difference."

"What about security?"

"There was no difference and it was very safe. No one wants to enter your room before you check out, unless you are killed and the blood-red key is obtained by someone else, and he performs [plunder] and plunders your personal belongings. Otherwise, any entry is considered an offense to the space, with serious consequences. โ€

"Then I'll stay in the cheapest hotel." Kirk is very single.

The fat man was speechless for a while, he took the newcomer to any hotel and got a commission, of course, the cheapest hotel had the least commission. However, newcomers are generally not wealthy, and the choice of the cheapest hotel is of course the vast majority.

"All right, Mr. Kirk. Let's head to the Sword Bay Hotel now. The fat man limbly led Kirk to a teleporter. Then Kirk felt light, and when he came back to his senses, he had appeared in a hotel that seemed to be from the era of the Forgotten Realm, decorated with a badge with a two-handed sword rising from the lake, and the text on it indicated that this was the Sword Bay Hotel.

From the open door, it was noisy and chaotic, and the beautiful blonde ** waitress was holding a plate of flowers and butterflies shuttling among the rude drinkers, smiling and collecting all kinds of tips and other fees with a deep career line.

The fat man had planned to lead Kirk to the dirtiest and messiest hotel to dispel Kirk's idea of staying in a cheap hotel. I didn't expect Kirk, an otaku, to like the Baldur's Gate series the most, and when I saw this, my eyes were already shining, and I decided to move in directly.

The white fat man was speechless for a while.

It seems that this time I did meet the iron rooster or the poor egg, and there is not much oil and water.

After leading Kirk to the bar and paying 500 survival points to the coquettish tall, long-legged proprietress at the bar, Kirk is taken to his room.

"This room has already paid the room fee for 10 plots, you can stay, choose various services, you can choose to keep accounts, and you can owe money. If you can't get it, the space will deduct from your equipment. The fat man seemed to have decided not to have anything to do with this poor bastard, threw down a copy of the "Newbie Survival Guide", slapped his ass and left.

At the end, he said, "Mr. Kirk, a word of advice for you, in this damn space, it's all about being alive!" โ€
