Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Little Dealer
Little dealer
Gruul has no surname, and his ancestors have been struggling to survive in the slums of East 1 for generations.
Of course, every commoner child of Vantasti will have a wonderful dream before the age of ten, maybe he will be favored by the goddess of fate, and in the talent testing ceremony, find out the wizard's talent!
However, dreams are just dreams, and Gruul can only be an ordinary person!
For the people at the bottom of the wizarding world, their lives are ordinary and boring.
The ascending passage is extremely narrow, and many things are decided at birth!
When he was ten years old, he lifted the lid on Schrödinger's button, took out a dead cat, and broke his thoughts. What is waiting is naturally eating and waiting for death, doing nothing!
The only thing that can contribute to the world is to continue to reproduce, expand the population, and slightly increase the chances of wizard talents!
According to normal logic, Gruul's life will also move forward according to the established route, until a group of people from Area 57 break into his life, and his light gray life begins to have a different color!
As an old tenant in this slum in the first district of the east, Gruhl's house has been turned over many times to form a shack that covers an area that is not small!
These District 57 people bought the land of the slum from the lord, saying that they would demolish it all!
I thought that I was going to live a poor life and completely slide into the abyss, but what Grull didn't expect was that the people of Area 57 would build a new garden-style house on top of another vacant land!
In Gruul's barren life experience, he couldn't understand the other party's approach at all, but who would refuse such a good thing?
Everyone in the slum has moved into the new community, a place with a strange name called "Tiantongyuan"!
This house is so good that Gruul's pale words can't describe how this new house makes him feel!
Some people have already tried to tear down and sell the things in the house, but the managers of "Tiantongyuan", those adults called "security guards", are too strict!
The residents of "Tiantongyuan" not only have to take care of the housing facilities and protect the community environment, but also abide by their various management regulations, which is really very uncomfortable for a wild child like Grul!
Moving into a new house, Gruul's hometown was bulldozed, but what happened after that made him even more stunned!
These Area 57 people seem to have mastered the power of magic, and they have begun to build on the original land of the slum at an alarming rate, and Gruel only feels that every day, this place is a new scene!
Eighteen-year-old Grul has not yet found a permanent job in East District 1, so he can only rely on odd jobs everywhere to make ends meet, and his biggest way of entertainment is to gather outside the construction site and watch the people of District 57 work in various novel ways!
Under his observation, the entire "Elysium" slowly took shape and bloomed with dazzling brilliance!
In Gruul's eyes, "Elysium" is the world of dreams! This is more gorgeous than the most prosperous area in the East 1st District!
A small wish ignited in his mind, that is, to be able to step into this magical palace!
To his surprise, his wish came true very quickly!
The people of District 57 held a job fair in "Tiantongyuan", recruiting nearly 5,000 young men and women, and Gruul was lucky enough to be one of them!
After three months of devilish training, Grull was given a straight uniform and really stepped into this gorgeous palace!
Gruul was assigned to the casino as a small dealer in charge of a table at 21 o'clock!
During the training, he has already been exposed to the peculiar card game of poker, and is also familiar with the rules of 21 points, and he will guide customers to familiarize themselves with the game as soon as possible and provide services for customers!
Even now, Grull remembers the grand opening of Elysium!
It was as if the entire Vantasty adults had been invited here, and at that time, it was full of big people in gorgeous clothes and handsome faces!
Grull even saw the mysterious wizard-sama! I heard that the one who was flying in the air to speak at that time was the lord of Area 57!
Grull still remembers the fireworks in the sky that day, and the spending scene of adults spending money!
I heard that the whole mall was sold out that day! And his card table was full of people, and some adults even won and lost thousands of gold coins in one night! Oh my God! Gruul's life was turned upside down!
From that day on, Elysium was on fire! The whole of Vantas knew about such an interesting place! Every day, countless people came from all over the neighborhood!
It wasn't until later, in order to limit the flow, that "Elysium" even began to charge high ticket prices, and even then, it couldn't resist the enthusiasm of customers, and it was full every day!
Ticket numbers were even sold a week later!
However, as long as the purchase of the "Elysium" property is granted, the homeowner can get unlimited access to the "Elysium Plaza", and Grull heard that the beautiful buildings hidden in the green forest were swept away in a very short time!
The people of District 57 must have made a lot of money, but Gruul has only gratitude in his heart, he is here, enjoying a life he never dared to imagine! There is also a decent job, the income is not low, and the tip is enough for him to live a middle-class life!
Today is the third month of the opening of "Bliss Place", and it is payday. After the shift change, Grull went to the finance department to get his salary, which was his happiest day of the month!
After half an hour of filming, Grull finally received a heavy bag of coins, a total of 9 gold and 50 silver!
Grull put 9 gold coins into his wallet, carried the remaining 50 silver coins, changed into casual clothes and went straight to the 11th floor of the "Elysium Hotel"!
Elysium employees have another major benefit, they can freely enter and leave the mall after work, and enjoy the same convenience as adults!
The 11th floor is already overcrowded, and the decoration here is very peculiar!
The entire floor is opened up, and rows of strange machines are placed in the space, each with a boxy glass screen on which vivid images beat!
Each machine was surrounded by a few people, mostly young people, who cried out from time to time with excitement or regret!
Grull waited in line for almost two hours before he finally got the right to use a machine!
It costs 50 silver per hour of usage search, and Grull only indulges once a month on payday to reward himself!
And for the next month, Grull is looking forward to this day!
Grull shook the joystick and selected an option called "57 Blocks" on the screen, and then a familiar image appeared on the screen, and Gruul began to operate the joystick intently!
With the power of "Alpha Law", Matthew has copied a number of rest levels with simple arcade functions in the wizarding world, localizing hundreds of classic games, and putting them here to see the effect!
Naturally, the result was a huge hit, and the Vantastis who had not been poisoned by electronic heroin were poisoned one after another!
At this time, Gruul is one of them!
Because the time was too short, Grull only came into contact with the simplest game, and there was no common sense for other more difficult games to get started, but even so, he was deeply addicted to it, and every time a line of squares disappeared from the screen, it would bring him great pleasure!
Now, Grul's biggest dream is to own a game console of his own, so that he can play all at once!
PS: Cangzhou is on a business trip, and I have dinner with a billionaire, which is really earthy, like an uncle who sells vegetables downstairs.
