156 Plan
"Looks like it's working well!"
Fifian said to Doug beside him without raising his head, his big eyes staring at the screen, and suddenly his whole little face twisted: "...... Oops, I'm so angry, how can there be such a card, it's just a little bigger than me!"
"Stop playing, do your test. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Doug frowned slightly, grabbed the slender shoulder, and pulled Fifian away from the 'terminal'. They're now galloping in a Lynax-made, spirit-driven carriage, testing the dragon lich's stability in motion or something—but looking at Fifian's fascinated appearance, it's suspicious that the cart is before the horse.
"Got it, I've been watching. “
Fifian reluctantly turned his head and fiddled with the monitoring instrument next to him a few times, and then quickly turned back, "Doug, this idea of yours is quite good, even I am almost hooked!"
You're not 'hooked', you're hooked.
Doug coughed lightly, suppressing the sarcastic words that almost blurted out from his mouth. How addictive is the devil of gambling He is also a person from the past, when he first entered the underground world, he sank into it for almost a year, until a crisis that almost put his life on the line, this can be regarded as slowly sobering up, but he often has itchy hands and relive it.
And now this thing, which Fifian called 'terminal', was itself invented by the apprentice of the Tower of Overlook for stealthily betting and gambling, and after being strengthened and perfected by the dragon lich Linax, it not only expanded the scope of normal operation to almost the area of a country, but also carried the virtual casino' The host's also added an extremely strict and huge anti-cheat magic array, combining Fifian's future theory with Linax's thousands of years of magical knowledge, which can be called the strongest defense in the world, and even Fio scratched his head after seeing it, grinning and admitting that he couldn't cheat without leaking a trace.
Gambling is the nature of human beings, and this new type of casino, which is easy to carry, ensures fairness, and can enter the market to place bets anytime and anywhere, minimizes the factors that prevent people from giving full play to this nature. At the beginning of the test at the beginning of the Tower of Overview, the apprentices in charge of the test were still interested in doing it as a job, but soon, almost everyone was fully engaged in it, and the average number of test chips issued at the beginning was almost half an hour after the redistribution, and all of them kept asking to exchange chips on their terminals, so soon this simple performance test changed its flavor and became the first business of a virtual casino.
The only problem now is how to reduce the cost of this 'terminal' that he is going to name 'Star Box'. Although it only needs very low-quality magic crystals to run smoothly for a long time, the price of these low-quality magic crystals is not something that ordinary people can just make up their minds to buy...... Fifian has invited Linax to work with her to refine the project of the 'Artificial Crystal', but it seems that nothing will be achieved in the short term, if not, she will have to suffer a little loss and sell it cheaply.
The corners of Doug's mouth twitched, revealing a sneer. Now for him, the number of believers comes first, and everything else can be compromised, and he has already done experiments, if you exchange low-level magic crystals, most of the divine power spent will become the energy stored in the magic crystals - high-level magic crystals will waste several times the divine power stored in them to obtain - but there is another problem, such a huge free pie may arouse suspicion, in the future, these terminals will be used to cover the artificial souls carried in secret, once they attract attention, it will be against the original intention......
"Whew!"
Fifian suddenly let out a strange cry of excitement, hugged Doug's arm and shook it vigorously: "I won! I won! I got three earth elementals and two water elemental......s, kill the whole game!"
In her crisp laughter, the images of the chips on the terminal in front of her fell like rain, and the number representing her wealth increased whirringly, even though Doug thought that he had strong self-control now, he still felt his heart beat faster and his fingers itched violently.
"Fifian, if there's nothing wrong, I'm going to start rolling this thing out!"
It took a lot of effort for Doug to suppress his desire to participate in the game and forcibly shift his attention to his original purpose.
"Hey, will you sell it now?"
Fifian was stunned for a moment, and finally took his eyes off the light screen of the terminal: "That kind of thing just happened...... Would people nowadays be in the mood to buy something like this?"
Although he didn't know much about worldly things, Fifian knew what the 'coming of the gods' meant. There are also many works depicting this situation in the future era of great magic, because there are so many of them, how the plot is already blurred, and the only thing that remains is the panic of people fleeing in all directions, rioters everywhere, corpses splashing with blood all over the ground...... In such a situation, how can there be a mood to play gambling?
"Rest assured. ”
Doug smiled coldly, and his face showed a bit of the expression he had as a member of West's entourage: "When people are panicked, it is the time when people are most likely to fall...... In a world where chaos is about to begin and everyone feels like they're sitting in the crater, something that allows them to pass the time while they safely hide in their homes is definitely going to be a great market. ”
"yes? Well, you decide. ”
Fifian had no concept of this kind of thing at all, and gave up after thinking for a few seconds: "But I heard that those merchants are very conservative, and the price of the terminal is still very expensive, will they be willing to spend money to buy it?"
"Hmph, those merchants see gold coins like wolves see flesh, and even the gallows can't make them retreat...... And things that do not have interests, daggers around the neck they will not do. Doug was exploited by the profiteers when he was inexperienced, so he had no good impression of the merchant at all: "So I'm going to let your grandfather do this, in the name of the Tower of Overlooks—but we're not selling, we're giving it away!"
"This good thing is actually given away, and you don't want money?"
Fifian's mouth opened widely: "Doug, have you thought about the final number? Do you want my stingy grandfather to jump off the top of the tower in distress?"
"Hehe, don't worry. ”
Imagining Rabina@Alexente's bluish face, Doug couldn't help but smile, and reached out to hug Fifian into his arms: "Even if I'm not a businessman, I won't be willing to suffer for nothing!" The plan is this: we set up a club in the name of the apprentice of the Tower of Overlook, and the main membership activity is this virtual casino, and we give away the 'Star Box' for free to members - but if you want to gamble, you have to have chips anyway, right?" Therefore, anyone who wants to join our club must purchase a certain number of chips in advance to obtain membership......"
"Isn't that just a free gift to them?"
Fifian immediately screamed and looked at Doug in confusion: "Their money is still theirs, and they still haven't spent a single copper coin on the 'terminal'!"
"Don't worry. ”
A sinister smile appeared on Doug's face: "If you think about it carefully, on the surface, their gold coins have been exchanged for chips, but after we received the gold coins, we just added some numbers to them in the casino! And with such favorable conditions, there will definitely be a lot of people who will participate, and when the number of terminal owners increases, and the amount of money circulating in the casino reaches a huge amount, we will get enough rake to pay those who ask for gold withdrawals - and see, we can put the whole plan smoothly for a small amount of money!"
"Gold Coins...... Digital ......"
Fifian blinked his big clear eyes, and after thinking for a while, he nodded uncertainly: "It seems to make sense......"
In fact, although she has a very good knowledge of mathematics, but unfortunately it is a mess when it comes to coins, and she always feels that something is not quite right in the scene described by Doug, but she can't find it, frowning and thinking hard for a while, she gets tired of it first, and her attention quickly shifts to other places: "Huh-Doug, I didn't expect you to have such a good business mind, I just heard you say how the merchant is ......."
"I'm talking about how to run a casino with the least amount of money, and what does it have to do with merchants?"
Doug's face sank slightly in displeasure, Fifian didn't care about his stinky face at all, giggled a few times, and quickly returned to the terminal, after the small body twisted around Doug's body for a while, and found a comfortable position, completely ignoring Doug's strange face, he began to devote himself to the gambling business again.
...... The little girl seems to have grown?
Doug felt the elasticity and smoothness of Fifian's skin, and keenly noticed that the little girl seemed to have developed, and couldn't help but admire Linax's secret medicine, but this little bit of development was not enough, he could still only use the Dafa of distraction.
Taking a deep breath, Doug leaned his back against the seat of the carriage and closed his eyes to sleep. Beneath the seemingly calm exterior, all that swirled in his mind was the plan he had just told Fifian - speaking of which, he had seriously bought several books in order to conceive such a plan.
Back then, I also had ideals!
......
......
"Woo, big sister, please let me down...... I can't stand it......"
Ragon's miserable voice echoed in the dim cellar, indistinct, but without any detract from the sorrow in it, and anyone who heard it knew that he was very miserable now, and if anyone was lucky enough to see him in person, he would turn pale in an instant—
Lagon's diminutive body hung upside down against the rough walls, his face was as swollen as tomatoes, and his eyes were bloodshot and almost red, and the ropes seemed to have been found in the same place, and were somehow stained with suspicious yellow-brown marks, and the smell was smoky, and his toenails and fingernails were stuck with blood-stained wooden skewers, and he shivered with pain.
"Shut up, you piece of shit!"
Igif held in his hand a wooden post that should have been the foot of the table, and the dagger flew up and down with dexterity, no less skillful than Doug's, and the fine wooden sticks were born under the horrified gaze of Ragon, and lined up in a long way on the table where one leg was missing: "Hurry up and remind the old lady what you said at that time!
"Woo, eldest sister, I'll tell you everything I can remember!"
Ragon wanted to die. Since the top cards of the two hot sisters suddenly appeared in the house, his miserable time began, and the suspicious eldest sister Igfu directly put him down first, and then it was endless questioning, and when the questioning was fruitless, the situation quickly escalated, and he fell to the point where he is now, which is even worse than those invaders who want to fight the idea of the hot sister: "I can't stand it, please put me down first, eldest sister, and if I hang like this, I will die......"
In order to 'help' him recall every detail, Igve not only hanged him upside down until his brain was congested, but also brutally attacked all his fingers, and under the cruel torture, he could even tell clearly how old he was when he wet the bed when he was a child, but Igve was still not satisfied, and kept asking him repeatedly.
In fact, the eldest sister and he knew in their hearts after asking the two top names about their appearance here that this kind of thing was not something they could understand, and I was afraid that it involved something that would make people lose their heads...... But what to do next, it's hard to escape? Chardo has not been seen since the last time he was seen, who knows if they will find out about it, and who knows what will happen if they run away now...... But if you don't run away, you're afraid that you will regret it in the future......
"Ah!!!h
Ragon suddenly felt a sharp pain in the soles of his feet, and immediately screamed hoarsely, but it was Igfu who flew out of his hand with a dagger and cut the rope that bound his feet, but the rope that held his upper body was not untied, and his toes, which were already dripping with blood, fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"You shit, lie like this first!"
Igve threw the last wooden stick in her hand at Ragon's buttocks, in exchange for another short scream. After losing such a long time, she couldn't return to her posture immediately, so she didn't untie the rope on Lagon's upper body, and let him maintain such a difficult posture for his small life: "Old lady go out first to see if there is any new information!"
"Big sister, big sister!"
Ragon cried out in a heart-rending voice: "You can pull these sticks for me first!"
"Figure it out yourself!"
Igif dropped a sentence that made Ragon almost cry, and without stopping for a second, he walked out of the cellar door and slammed the tattered lid against it.
"What can I think of myself!! eldest sister!! don't leave me here like this!!"
Ragon's howl was easily obscured by the lid of the cellar, and Igif didn't hear a word, but that didn't mean her ears were clear, for as soon as she stepped out of the ground, there was a cacophony of noises outside the window.
"XX XX, what's the noise outside?"
Igve, who was already in a bad mood, was even more angry by these noises: "Is there anyone alive? Come in and tell the old lady what's going on!!"
"Big sister!"
Listening to Igeve's angry roar, a small minion stumbled in from outside: "There's a fight outside!
"What!?"
If Igev was just 'in a bad mood' just now, now she is close to being furious: "Someone actually tried to rob us ?!!"
Boom!
Her chubby fist easily punched a dent in the wall next to her: "He's XX, the old lady doesn't think they're panting too hard!"
