Chapter 207: Asking for Money and Not Death
"Ha, Xiao Tian, you are not familiar with this place for the first time when you come to Ye Xing, let me find someone to be your guide, with him by your side, maybe your journey will be much smoother." The marshal suggested with a smile.
"Well, that's fine."
Xiao Tian nodded lightly, did not show any discoloration, and seemed to have accepted the marshal's "kindness".
……
In the afternoon of the same day, after Xiao Tian and the marshal had a meal together, under the guidance of the Leaf Star Guide, Xiao Tian and twenty S-class combat robots left the Star Castle in a hurry.
"Whew...... Finally got out of this hellish place. The moment he stepped out of the Star Castle, Xiao Tian felt that his tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot, and the depression in his heart also eased.
The very top floor of the Star Castle.
Ascending to the top floor, with the help of binoculars, you can look down on all the landscapes of the entire primitive city, and at this time, the marshal is standing on the top of the building with a few henchmen, staring at Xiao Tianyuan's back.
"Marshal, is it too cheap for him to let him go like this. If ......"
"Heh, what do you know? Cosmic travelers dare to break into the endless universe, and can live well, how can there be a simple role? You can be hostile to him, but with our strength, it's better not to drive the cosmic traveler to a dead end. The marshal scolded.
Today.
The marshal was in a very good mood, although he didn't get the technology he was looking forward to from Xiao Tian's hands, he accidentally ran into the corpse of a monster produced in the Wulong Star Domain.
What a catch.
For the marshal, this was definitely a surprise. There are more than 10,000 kinds of monsters cultivated in the Wulong Star Domain, but this Silver Moon Wind Wolf is definitely a monster with a little reputation.
The Silver Moon Wind Wolf is famous not for its strength, but for its special uses, or rather, for what is made out of it.
Wulong Star Field.
In recent decades, a small but formidable land force has emerged, all dressed in silver armor.
Hence the name "Silver Armor Team"!
The members of the Silver Armor Clan, the Silver Armor they wore was made from the corpse of the Silver Moon Wind Wolf, but this processing process was a bit peculiar, and it was not like ordinary technology factories to sew or polish the armor. It is said that the silver armor is tailored to the host's body, and it is naturally formed, except for the host, no one else can fully fit the armor and exert all its strength, in short, the silver armor has uniqueness.
Anyway.
According to the news that the marshal received, only Wulong Star Domain has a way to make this silver battle armor. When others get the monster corpse, they can only look at it dryly, and they can't use it effectively at all!
But.
For the marshal, this is not a problem, in the early years he had an acquaintance with a high-ranking person in the Wulong Star Domain, and the relationship was very iron. Perhaps, it should not be a problem for him to produce materials and spend some resources to ask Wulong Star Domain to process a small amount of silver battle armor for him. Personal relationships aside, there are two star fields between the Leaf Star and the Wulong Star Domain, and even if the Leaf Star gets a batch of silver battle armor, it will not threaten the interests of the Wulong Star Domain.
The Silver Armor team.
As long as he thought that he would soon be able to form a small silver-armored team to intimidate all parties, the marshal couldn't hold back his excitement in his heart.
If the marshal has a silver-armored clan, then Mo Daxing, the enemy of the Leaf Star, is afraid that he will suffer.
"Hehe, stand down." The marshal smiled weirdly, waved his hand to avoid the left and right, and then, turned on the star field communicator and contacted the friends of the Wulong star field.
……
Xiao Tian's journey first started from the primitive city. He wanted to hide far away from Star Castle, or even leave Primordial City directly, but that would be easier to expose.
After all.
It would undoubtedly be suspicious for a cosmic traveler to enter a planet without even visiting the administrative capital of the planet. After all, the administrative capital is not only the center of power, but also the concentration of science and technology and culture on a planet.
Now.
Under the leadership of the monks, Xiao Tian boarded the city train of the Primordial City and went to enjoy the scenery of the Primordial City first. Oh, the bhikkhus, that is, the "guides" assigned by the marshal to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian knew the details of the bhikkhus, and he also knew what the marshal had in mind.
"Uh, Lord Xiao Tian, the train is about to enter the terminal." The monk sitting opposite Xiao Tian smiled and bowed down to remind.
Really.
As soon as the monk's words fell, a clear sound was heard from inside the train, and after a few seconds, the train came to a steady stop and the door opened with a "bang".
"Let's go."
Xiao Tian, Bhikkhu, and twenty tall S-class battle robots walked out one after another. For the Leaf Starman, the appearance of Xiao Tian and the S-class battle robot is undoubtedly very strange, for Xiao Tian These "aliens", the travelers are curious, along the way, many people are secretly looking at Xiao Tian and the S-class battle robot, and even whispering behind their backs.
on this.
Xiao Tian smiled, this is also a normal thing. If you think about it from another perspective, Xiao Tian returned to Earth with a leaf starman, the people will also be curious, and even cause panic, of course, some governments may also think about hunting "aliens" for research.
"Well, there are a lot of people."
Xiao Tian skillfully hid among the S-class combat robots, although he was used to seeing the Leaf Swordsman, but he was still a little uncomfortable with physical touch. I always feel a little sick when I encounter these "monsters".
So.
As soon as Xiao Tian got out of the station, he immediately got into the middle of the S-class combat robots and sought "shelter". After all, a large number of passengers who are swarming out of the country are accidentally bumped into each other...... Vomiting, Xiao Tian only felt that his scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to think about the result.
"Otherwise, just wait." Looking at the surging flow of people, Xiao Tian said helplessly. The dense crowd of passengers in this station is ten times stronger than the Spring Festival in China.
"Uh, Lord Xiao Tian, are you still in business? This station is full of people, but there is nothing to see. The monk wondered if this cosmic traveler was going to be here for sightseeing. He couldn't figure out why he had just sighed and said "go", why did he suddenly change his hexagram.
"Whew, there are too many people, let's wait before leaving." Xiao Tiandao.
"Huh? Crowded? Wait for ......" The monk had a feeling of wanting to go crazy, is there a lot of people here, it's a normal flow of people. "Lord Xiao Tian, if you have this reason, I have to regret telling you that this station has been like this for a long time, and it is impossible to reduce the flow of people. After all, there are more than 50 billion people living on the planet, and there is no shortage of people anywhere. Besides, this is the center of the entire planet. ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Tian smiled awkwardly and nodded, he ignored this. The significance of the primordial city to the Leaf Star is equivalent to the significance of Kyoto City to Huaxia. Such a city, no matter what aspect is very perfect, will definitely attract countless people, just like the North Drifters in China.
"Bhikkhu, how many people live in the Primordial City?" Xiao Tian was curious.
"I don't know exactly how many there are. According to official statistics five years ago, five years ago, the number of people living in primitive cities had exceeded 90 million. Now, I'm afraid there are more than 100 million people! The monk replied.
Dizzy.
Can the Primitive City accommodate such a large population? 100 million people, what a terrifying number.
"Heh, the original city has been expanded many times, and now, it has reached 10,000 square kilometers. Moreover, it has also raised the entry threshold for the foreign population, which is not as great as imagined. The monk smiled and explained, he noticed that Xiao Tian seemed to be very interested in this, so he said a few more words.
Xiao Tian nodded wordlessly.
"Well, let's go." Since the flow of people has always been so close, Xiao Tian has no choice but to bite the bullet and leave, fortunately, there are S-class combat robots around him as scapegoats, otherwise, he may really faint.
……
……
……
"It's out!" Xiao Tian, who squeezed out of the station, roared in his heart.
I saw--
On the street, pedestrians walked slowly, and when they passed Xiao Tian and the others, they would always pay more attention. One building after another towered, reaching straight into the clouds, Rao is Xiao Tian's eyes were keen, and he couldn't see the top floor of the building.
Xiao Tian conservatively estimated in his heart that these buildings were at least 1,500 meters high, or about 300 floors.
Shock!
Xiao Tian was shocked by these buildings, the buildings in front of him represented the architectural civilization of the Leaf Star, and the buildings here were basically like this, which showed that the high-rise buildings of the Leaf Star had become popular.
Call.
Xiao Tian looked up at a building in front of him, and exclaimed in his heart, the architectural level of the Leaf Star had surpassed much compared to the earth.
"Hey, Lord Xiao Tian, this kind of high-rise building is very common in Yexing, and besides, the underground city is also very good. Alas, the population of the Leaf Star is extremely inflated, and the demand for land is tight, so we have to find ways to extend to the sky and underground to increase the living space. The monk said with a sigh. Although the marshal led the Leaf Star to occupy dozens of planets, these planets are all resource-based planets and are not suitable for human habitation, so the Leaf Planet people can only stay in their homeland helplessly. Of course, if he is a rich man, he may buy a space castle in outer space and live in space, but after all, it is a minority. If you want to obtain a planet suitable for human habitation, there are only two ways, one is to transform the resource planet, but the transformation of the planet requires very high technology and resources, and not everyone can easily do it. The other way is to wage a war of enslavement!
"Hmm."
Xiao Tian nodded, he had also felt the pressure of housing. With a population of more than 50 billion, it is really difficult to solve, and it is inevitable to expand the living space.
At this time.
Xiao Tian realized that the primitive city can carry more than 100 million people, and I am afraid that this kind of high-rise building has contributed a lot.
In fact, Xiao Tian's guess is incomplete, although the high-rise Daxia has solved some housing problems, it is the underground city that really plays a prominent role.
……
"Lord Xiao Tian, there is a tall building in the Primordial City that is two thousand three hundred and sixty-five meters high, and it is also the tallest building in the Leaf Star, called 'Leaf Star'. Want to check it out? The monk excitedly said that the "Star of Leaves" is definitely a miracle in architecture.
A moment later.
Xiao Tian, who was silent, shook his head gently, he just suddenly felt a little emotional about these high-rise buildings, and he really wanted him to run around for a high-rise building, so he didn't bother to go.
"Bhikkhu, you said there is something special about this commercial center, take me around." Xiao Tian commanded softly, the monk was the "guide" sent to him by the marshal, and at this time, of course, he would not be polite.
Meantime.
Xiao Tian also sighed in his heart, the environment near the Star Castle and the commercial center are really in great contrast. Near the Star Castle, there is the administrative district of the Leaf Star, which is full of quaint atmosphere and historical charm. The commercial center is like an economic center with high-rise buildings and noisy business.
"Uh, okay."
The monk was slightly surprised, the "Star of the Leaves", the tallest building of the Star of the Leaves, could not attract Xiao Tian. However, he didn't care, he was just ordered to act to lead the way for Xiao Tian, and he would do whatever Xiao Tian said.
"Lord Xiao Tian, the most famous places in the Primordial City business district are none other than the four places, Yusen Casino, Space Battle Domain, Golden Hammer Auction House, and the 'Star of Leaves'!" The monk folded his fingers and enumerated it.
"Huh? Let's talk about it in detail. ”
Xiao Tian suddenly became interested and urged the bhikshu to say. What surprised him the most was that Ye Xing actually had a casino, and listening to the meaning of the monks, it seemed that the casino business was developing well, interesting!
"Well, you can take me to this Yusen casino first, and introduce me to me on the way."
"Okay, Lord Xiao Tian."
The monk bowed slightly, walked in front, and led Xiao Tian and his party through the high-rise buildings, while adjusting his thoughts a little and starting a detailed introduction.
"Yusen Casino, founded two hundred and seventy-five years ago, the founder is the 'God of Gamblers' Yusen. Today, the power of this Yusen casino is intricate, and it collects countless fortunes every year, and the casinos are all over every city of the Leaf Star. Although many people have suffered from it, and countless rich people have gone bankrupt and separated their wives because of gambling, which has offended many people, it has been able to stand for nearly three hundred years, which shows that there is a hard relationship behind it. ”
“……”
In this regard, Xiao Tian sneered, hard relationship? I'm afraid that this hard relationship is inseparable from the marshal, the supreme ruler of the leaf star.
After all.
If you talk about hard relationships, is there a harder role than a marshal? What's more, with the shrewdness of the marshal, if there is no profit drive, I am afraid that such a super-giant "gambling group" will not be tolerated.
"Huh...... Hard relationships? Bhikkhu, do you know who this hard relationship is? Xiao Tian pretended to be confused and asked in a muffled voice.
"Uh...... I'm a small person, where do I know the problems behind the scenes? The bhikkhu's face froze, and he smiled dryly, and he slipped away.
Although Yusen Casino has an interest relationship with the marshal, in fact, it was also secretly supported by the marshal in order to raise more funds and strengthen its army.
But.
It's okay to know this in your heart, who dares to say it.
……
"Hehe, you go on." Xiao Tian smiled, said, and sighed secretly, it seems that the monk still knows the background of Yusen Casino, but he is afraid of the power of the marshal and does not dare to say it clearly.
"Hey, okay."
"There are many different ways to gamble at Yusen Casino, from simple to complex. When you enter there, you can gamble on everything except your own life. ”
"Well, life can't be gambled, and it's not an absolute thing. It's just that when gambling with the people in the casino, they don't accept their lives as gambling money, after all, they make black gold, not a slaughterhouse for their lives. If you bet against other gamblers, you can gamble for your life. The monk explained in detail.
"Hmm."
Xiao Tian smiled and nodded, this is understandable, after all, any business needs to be harmonious and profitable. If a gambler enters the casino, once he loses, he will gamble with his life, which will not benefit the casino at all. If you lose, you have to spit out a sum of money. If you win, will the casino accept it?
If you don't kill, then after someone loses all in the future, they will gamble with their lives, and they won't lose their lives if they lose anyway, what are you afraid of? If you win, you will get back some of your money.
Kill, the impact is even worse. Gamblers enter the casino in order to win money and entertainment, but as a result, people enter the casino and lose their lives, so who dares to play? The death of one person or two may not have much impact, but if there are thousands or ten thousand people dead, then the casino will really become a hell of life.
Therefore.
Casinos don't accept life-threatening bets, but they're shrewd.
As for the bets between gamblers, no matter what they bet, there is no direct relationship with the casino. Even if they gamble their lives and die, it's a personal matter.
"However, there is a situation where the Yusen Casino will also accept gambling in the form of gambling." The monk said in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
Xiao Tian was slightly surprised.
"There is a vivid metaphor for this type of gambling, which is called, 'If you want money, you don't want to die'!" When the monk mentioned the name, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
He, the bhikshu, is now also mixed up in the army, but before, he had been disappointed. Yusen Casino has harmed countless people and also harmed him!
If he could, the monk would have been eager to burn the Yusen Casino to the ground, but he knew that it was impossible. Even if he paid with his life, he would not be able to fulfill the wish of his heart.
"You don't want to die if you want money. Hehe, interesting, bhikkhu, you give me a good acceptance. Xiao Tian smiled faintly.
"Actually, it's very simple. 'Asking for Death' is a gambling method designed for gamblers who are caught in a frenzy, where gamblers bet their lives and bet on the casino side of the casino that is 10% of the total value of the gambler's loss. Therefore, for each gamble, the gambling amount on the casino side is different. The monk explained.
"Hmm."
Xiao Tian nodded understandingly, although all people are equal, but the cruelty of reality tells us that human life is also expensive and cheap.
The bets made by this Yusen casino are set at 10% according to the total value of the gamblers, which is also in line with the distinction between the high and low of human life.
"To launch this 'money but not life' gambling method, two conditions must be met, that is, the gambler has lost more than 100 million black gold, and the other condition is that the gambler has lost all his wealth and has nothing left except a life. Two conditions are indispensable! Otherwise, the casino will not accept the gambler's 'money, not life' type of gambling. ”
……
"Hmm."
Xiao Tian nodded, according to the speculation of the 80 million black gold he purchased, 500 million black gold is definitely an astronomical amount of wealth.
Xiao Tian was about to urge the monk to continue.
However.
The monk's voice came first, "Lord Xiao Tian, Yusen Casino has arrived!" ”
Following the direction of the monk's finger, Xiao Tian looked at it, and what caught his eye were four vigorous and powerful golden characters, "Yusen Casino"!
