Chapter 25: Source Crystal
"The mercenary group won without any damage?" As an old gambler, Lao Pi immediately raised his vigilance, squinting at the black-clothed man, "You won't know the battle situation, no, your mercenary group won't be the party, look at the time, the boss should come back soon." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hey, hey, hey, you shouldn't be afraid to take the bet. The man in black pushed his glasses, threw the small cloth bag in his hand, and said disdainfully, "If you don't dare to take the bet, just say it, don't find these messy reasons." ”
"There's nothing you don't dare, if you dare to bet, I'll take it. Lao Pi slapped the table, stretched out his hand and said, "How much do you want, bring it." ”
"Don't worry, just play casually, gamble some pocket money, and you won't play too much. The man in black threw the small cloth bag down casually, and said indifferently, "That's all, a little gamble." ”
Lao Pi caught the cloth bag and found that although the bag was bulging, it felt light and fluttering, and he felt that there was not much money in it. Muttered and opened the cloth bag and poured it out, and all the onlookers gasped at the same time. Of course, the bag poured out not gold and silver, but translucent, irregular crystals the size of twenty thumbs.
The surface of the crystals is smooth and soft, and the appearance is not at all crystal clear like diamonds and crystals, but always gives people a sense of turbidity and chaos, and the appearance is not tempting at all, but they have a tempting enough name to make everyone flock to it, and this name is the source crystal.
There is no fixed formula for the shape of the source crystal, each one is different, the real difference between them is the size, the size of the individual represents the capacity of energy, it is clear at a glance, and it cannot be faked. And coincidentally, the capacity of the source crystal is increased exponentially, with the smallest source crystal capacity as a unit, every time the body size increases by a grade, the capacity will increase by one unit, there is no intermediate state, that is, there is no such model as half a unit. Such a convenient way of measuring has made the source crystal replace gold as the best circulating currency from the moment it was discovered, and the only thing it is inferior to gold is that it is not as strong as gold.
Twenty source crystals rolled out of the cloth bag, and the man in black who threw out twenty source crystals was as casual as throwing out just a few broken stones.
"Hiss", Lao Pi looked at Yuan Jing on the table, and then looked up at the man in black who was yawning, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Lao Pi is a squadron leader of Mi Xin's personal escort team, hovering on the edge of the second-rate, and has not crossed the barrier of the soul statue to enter the high rank, and his strength is not high or low. If he is in some small cities, his strength may be able to mix with the position equivalent to the captain of the brigade, but in the escort team of a person of Mi Xin's status, he can only be a squadron leader honestly.
However, although the position is not high, but fortunately, the income is quite rich, a family of three is in charge of food and housing, a fixed 200 grams of gold per month, which is a fixed income of one source crystal, and there will be corresponding subsidies for business trips away from the city, which makes him earn a cut higher than most people with the same level of ability.
Even so, twenty Yuan Crystals is quite a huge amount of money for Lao Pi, even if he doesn't spend a penny, it will take at least a year and a half to save it. What's more, this is a bet, in case the other party wins, what he has to compensate is not twenty, but one hundred and forty source crystals, as for whether the other party will win? Lao Pi is a fool, he can also see that the other party is betting on himself, although he doesn't know why, but the other party is obviously prepared, and it is strange that he will lose. Thinking of this, he felt the urge to fall headlong and pass out.
The onlookers also saw that something was wrong. Mi Xin's personal guards all looked a little ugly, glaring at the man in black on the roof with hostility, while the mercenaries of the other teams had a lively attitude, and even whispered about which person the other party was.
Not only the people who bet around, but also the spectators in the building not far away. In the window on the second floor, a young man with a half-man-high hunting bow on his back sat on the windowsill with his legs crossed, watching the chaos below. In another room not far from him, a little girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old was propped up on the windowsill with her elbows propped up on her chin in both hands, not knowing if she was really watching the excitement or looking at the distance in distraction. The little girl was thin and small, and looked malnourished, which was pitiful, of course, after ignoring the hammer of at least forty kilograms leaning against the wall beside her.
"Why, didn't someone just say that if I dare to bet, he will dare to take it? And I remember he said that there is no cap on the bet. The man in black said leisurely, "What, now I'm starting to be scared?"
"Who the hell are you, and why are you targeting me?" Lao Pi picked up the source crystals on the table, put them back in the cloth bag one by one, tied them and carefully placed them on the table, and asked cautiously, "Where have I offended you?"
"I'm just an ordinary mercenary. The man in black said with a smile, "And I'm just placing bets, isn't that normal behavior at the table?"
"There are few ordinary mercenaries who can take out twenty source crystals casually, or I have also inquired about the backlight mercenary group, and there is no master who can do this kind of tricks. Lao Pi looked at the pocket on the table and said, "You are here, you must also be a guest invited by the boss, during this time, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, if I have something inadvertently offended before, I will apologize first." ”
"Hehehehe, Boss Mi is capable, and even his guards can advance and retreat, think about our cat, alas. The man in black pushed his glasses, pointed to his nose and said, "Gunfire Agency, Raven." ”
"Gun Sparks...... "Old Pi said with a dry smile, "High-level?"
"Hehehe. Raven smiled noncommittally and continued, "Also, as one of your bets, no one has a rule that I can't bet. ”
"That'...... This...... City Guards......" The old leather fingers shook wildly, and he couldn't speak, "You...... You ......"
"Hey, I was actually going to bet on that option to 80 to 1. The crow sighed and said, "But think about it, it's too troublesome to run back and kill the remaining dozens of people after placing the bet, so you can only forget it, alas, it's a pity." ”
"Ha, ha, yes, what a pity. Lao Pi could only continue to laugh, he finally knew how he had offended the other party, after all, it was not a pleasant thing to be regarded as the target of betting.
"Actually, I wasn't interested in betting either. The crow put away his smile abruptly and said grimly, "However, I suddenly feel very unhappy along the way, so I can only find some people to make them unhappy, so that I can be happier." ”
"Alas, Mr. Raven. Before Lao Pi could speak, a warm female voice outside the crowd sighed softly, "Don't bully the soldiers who protect me." ”
