Chapter 1 Gambling
Koplu Star District, the dense rock of the dead, the harbor of the dead.
"You've lost again!" The woman threw the cards on the table and laughed, "Do you still want to bet?" You should have lost your last credit! ”
The mercenary on the opposite side turned red with anger, and the mercenaries who were watching on the side also began to coax.
"If you can't play, don't play, and you don't know how to regret it until you lose until you run out of money." The woman shook her head in pity, and reached out to pull the chips to her side. The mercenary on the opposite side could only watch his chips being swept away, but there was nothing he could do - he couldn't afford to mess with the owner of this casino, and he would be the only one who would really lose if he really wanted to flip the table and fight.
“…… I'm going to keep betting! After a long silence, the mercenary suddenly stood up, glared at the woman with a blushing face, gasped for breath, and roared loudly.
The woman gave him a blank look: "Bet? What do you bet on? ”
"I ......" The mercenary froze when he heard this, and the mercenaries around him let out a boo-no money to gamble and call it so hard?
"You...... I ......" The mercenary was a little angry when he heard the boos, and finally gritted his teeth, "I'll bet on you with my Hydra!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the mercenaries were in an uproar, and the woman was stunned for a moment.
The Hydra was the mercenary's ship, a Valkyrie-class frigate that he had snatched back from the UED remnants. It is also by relying on this ship that this mercenary can grab a place in the mercenary market.
Looking at the woman's stunned appearance, the mercenary seemed to be a little proud: "What are you going to bet with me?" ”
The woman suddenly laughed when she heard this, and directly pushed all the bets on the table forward: "Are these bets, plus my own mother, enough?" ”
Seeing this, the onlookers began to heckle loudly, and such a high chip rarely appeared. This woman, as the famous Poison Rose in the Port of the Dead, also has a ship, and the bets of both of them are worth a lot. The most important thing is that this poisonous rose is also a famous flower in the port of the dead, and if you can get her, Yanfu is definitely not shallow.
The mercenary on the opposite side was excited almost instantly, if he won, then he would definitely have to rise to the top! Not to mention becoming a big guy like Orlan, at least in the Port of the Dead, he can definitely be regarded as the number one person who can be ranked.
"Good! Bet on it! ”
The two of them are not playing dice or poker, but the Koplu card, which is very popular in the Star Zone, a card game that has taken the forces of humanity by storm. Different cards represent different points, and as long as the sum of your cards is higher than your opponent's at the time of settlement, you can win.
This type of card has different decks, and only one deck can be played at a time. Decks are generally divided according to forces, such as the Imperial deck, the Swarm deck, the Daram deck, the Tadarin deck, etc., different decks have different classes and abilities, which can make players play different tricks and tactics.
Each side has a total of three card slots, representing close-range, range-range, and heavy support units, and the corresponding cards can only be placed in the corresponding card slots. To the left of the card slot is the leader card slot, where you can place different leader cards for each deck, each deck has several leader cards, each leader card has a unique ability, but can only play one at a time, and the ability can only be activated once. On the right side of the card slot is the card pile, players do not directly hold the deck to play, but need to put the deck on the card pile, draw cards for battle, and try to avoid the unfairness caused by the number of cards in the deck.
The usual Koploo game is a best-of-three game, and cards used at the end of each round cannot be returned to the deck until the end of the game. In addition to class cards, there are also special ability cards, such as climate cards, which can make all cards in a slot 1 value, or the more famous "Mosquito Blaster's Lair" card in the swarm deck, which can directly destroy a card with the largest number of points on the field, regardless of friend or foe, or hero cards that are completely unaffected by any ability cards, such as Tassadar, James Renault, etc.
Many card collectors often travel far and wide to collect rare cards in search of a complete set of cards. The Empire also has a dedicated Kooplu Card Tournament for friendly matches for players across the Star Zone who love and love Kollu cards.
And the women and mercenaries are obviously not the kind of friendly matches that don't gamble money. Generally speaking, this kind of gambling casino will give them two options, both sides can choose to use the basic decks provided by the casino, these basic decks only have basic cards, which completely test the player's skill and level, or use their own decks, so that they will naturally compete for their own financial resources and collections.
In order to convince the mercenary on the other side, the deck of the two has long been replaced by the basic deck provided by the casino, but the mercenary is still left with bottoms. Now, naturally, women don't choose to use their respective decks to fight. After so many handfuls, the woman has long figured out the mercenary's routine, and it is easy to win the mercenary.
The result naturally goes without saying, even if the mercenaries proposed to change their respective decks, two wins in three games, and they were still disgraced by the woman. Finally, under the threat of the casino mercenary, he glared at the woman angrily, threw the captain's hat from his backpack and left the casino in ashes.
The woman proudly put away the chips, then picked up the captain's hat and put it on her head, ran to exchange the chips for credits, and then divided the credits to the casino according to the rules, and left the casino with the remaining credits and the captain's hat.
Wearing a captain's hat, the woman quickly made her way through the business district to the starport of the Harbor of the Dead.
At this time, the communicator on her chest rang: "Head wolf, this is the wolf's den, please reply when you receive it." ”
The woman hurriedly picked it up and put the communicator to her mouth: "Wolf's den, this is a wolf." ”
"Wolf, is this over for you?"
"It's done, and by the way, I earned a Valkyrie frigate."
“…… Is it Hydra? ”
"Looks like that mercenary is quite trustworthy."
"The next time you notify me of this kind of thing in advance, I won't almost kill this guy who came to report the news as an imperial agent."
"Huh? Wolf's den, you shouldn't ......"
"Shut up, hurry back, let's hurry to the Hydra, it's over."
The woman hung up the communication, could only shake her head helplessly, and walked briskly towards the berth of her own ship in the starport.
The woman's ship is a Kemorian Consortium's pirate capital ship "Black Rose", although the name is quite low, but its combat effectiveness is indeed not bad, not to mention that she has more than 300 pirate crews, dozens of griffin fighters and wraith fighters, and is definitely the number one person in the Port of the Dead.
However, the Poison Rose of the Port of the Dead has a top boss who is also the de facto leader of this group of pirates.
"At last there will be an accomplice......" the woman stretched and muttered to herself with some relief.
