Cheng Mo took Cheng Xiao and Shen Mengjie through the cowboy town that looked like a Hollywood studio, although the three of them were obviously walking in an indoor casino on a small island in Southeast Asia, a sense of desolation rose in their hearts.

Because the huge background on the northwest corner wall is too vivid, the blue sky, the dark red rocky hills, the endless blue-yellow fields, and the golden spotlights that shine as brightly as the sun......

Cheng Mo could even see the yellow dust flying under the lights, like shining golden sand.

"This is too magical, isn't it?" Cheng Xiao said involuntarily as he looked at the scene in front of him.

The wilderness town in front of them basically restores the situation in the western part of the country in the early nineteenth century, with old steam locomotives in front of the humble platform, square red brick buildings behind them, and cowboys wearing cowhide vests and blue shirts with pistols in their waists leading sturdy horses to stand in the square in front of the church.

On both sides of the wide street are relatively low wooden houses, each with a corridor in front of it, and there are many blonde and blue-eyed girls in different costumes, wearing top hats and delicate Tudor aristocratic lady dresses sitting in carriages, snuggling up to wooden pillars in the corridors, wearing simple but sexy lace dresses, and nuns wearing black headscarves walking down the street with baskets......

At this moment, Cheng Mo couldn't help but think of a rice series called "Westworld", and the storyline of "Westworld" takes place in the future, a company called Delos has created three high-tech adult parks to experience more realistic and exciting games.

These three worlds are the medieval world (medieval Europe), the western world (the western part of the old rice country) and the Roman world (ancient Rome), but due to limited financial resources, the Delos company only operates the western world, and there are many robot receptionists in this world, which are not only highly realistic, but also have their own emotions, which can bring visitors the most realistic experience. For example, they will bleed after being shot and scream in pain when they are injured, but they live a predetermined plot life every day, waiting for tourists to come and visit.

As for tourists, they dare not do anything wrong in reality, and they can indulge unrestrainedly in the park, prostituting X, chasing murderers and even killing innocents indiscriminately.

As night falls, all the robot's memories are erased, everything is reset to zero, and the next day the sun rises and a new group of visitors enters the park.

What does Cheng Mo think is the difference between "Westworld" and Penglai Mountain? In addition to these NPCs, who are living people, "Westworld" can almost be said to be alluding to Penglai Mountain.

It's just that Cheng Mo didn't know that Penglai Mountain was built in that year, and Cheng Mo guessed that it must be earlier than the 1973 version of "Westworld", which was translated as "Delos Island", which was directly translated according to the name of Delos in the movie.

Others probably don't know what the meaning of Delos is, but people like Cheng Mo, who are familiar with history, naturally know that in ancient Greek mythology, the main god Zeus, his son Apollo, and his sister Artemis were all born on this island, in addition to the temples of Apollo and Artemis, there are also temples of gods such as Dionysus, Poseidon, Hera, and Isis.

In reality, Delos is an island in the Aegean Sea, once the religious, political, and commercial center of the Greek Aegean Sea, and the largest slave trading center BC.

Cheng Mo guessed that Michael Clayton must have been to Penglai Mountain, or he wouldn't have bluntly said in the second season that the "Westworld" park is located on an island in the Chinese Sea......

Indeed, as the world's largest human trafficker, the Black Death could not have set up a transit point on an island near the Strait of Malacca, a major global transportation route.

Seeing that Cheng Mo didn't speak and looked thoughtful, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Zero, what are you thinking?"

Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Cheng Xiao and said softly: "People always think that the plot of the movie is exaggerated and bizarre, but they don't know that the reality is often more exaggerated and bizarre than the movie. ”

"Yes, I haven't been to Penglai Mountain, I really can't imagine that there is such a place in the world......" Cheng Xiao sighed.

Shen Mengjie, who had been trying to maintain her composure and didn't want people to see her lack of confidence, also spoke: "It's so wonderful that this is just a casino, I don't know what other magic is on the island." ”

"Although technology is now making the distance between people and countries getting shorter and shorter, and even jokingly called the global village, this does not mean that the earth is small, you must know that its area is 510 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of 100 China...... How many of us can't even go to China in this life, let alone the earth.... Therefore, the world is so big that there are no surprises. Cheng Mo said lightly.

Cheng Xiao nodded, "Yes, I think there may be more magical places in the world than Penglai Mountain, so I have to take a walk and see if I have the chance!"

Shen Mengjie looked at the carriage beside her, there was a noble lady sitting in the carriage tattooed with an unknown coat of arms, and asked Lin Zhinuo in English if she wanted to go hunting at her family's manor, Lin Zhinuo shook his head, and the tall brown horse dragging the cart in front of him was shiny, and he also made an elephant trunk when they walked by. Shen Mengjie was inexplicably a little lost, and said softly: "But there are many places that you can't go to if you want to..... For example, Penglai Mountain, it's not enough to be rich, you have to be very rich......"

"Also, if it weren't for Zero, I guess I wouldn't have had a chance to come here to see it for a long time. Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

Cheng Mo shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me, it's Jing Xing who invited you here, but it's not me." ”

"Boss Jing is not a good person, but you are a ......" Cheng Xiao smiled and sent a good person card to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo thought that Cheng Xiao was not stupid, and he had vaguely understood the situation, so he used this method to frame him, so that he couldn't pull his face down to do excessive things, but Cheng Xiao was still too simple, and he didn't know how low Jing Xing's bottom line was. Of course, Cheng Mo wouldn't say this to Cheng Xiao, but said casually: "Don't expect too much from me, I think maybe I'm not as good as Jing Xing!"

"How's that possible, my instincts are pretty accurate. Cheng Xiao said.

"I hope so!" Cheng Mo replied noncommittally, without meaning to start a discussion on the subject, for he had already seen the wooden house called the Rainbow Tavern, with colorful English neon lights spinning in circles under the illumination of the sun, like fruit machines, several batches of horses with saddles tied to the pillars in the corridor, and several hot girls in maid costumes standing in the doorway.

Cheng Mo, Cheng Xiao, and Shen Mengjie walked along the corridor to the door of the Rainbo Tavern, and a beautiful Asian in a maid's costume saw that they were wearing Chinese clothes, Cheng Xiao and Shen Mengjie were obviously also Chinese, so they greeted them and asked, "Do you want to come and sit in our Rainbow Tavern?" ”

"What are you doing here?" Cheng Mo asked.

The Asian maid smiled and said, "Our Rainbow Tavern is mainly a poker game, in addition to darts, paintball duels, spinning lotto, crazy horse sets... The entire Fantasy Casino is the most gambling man in our Rainbow Tavern!"

Cheng Mo nodded and said, "I want to play Texas Hold'em, can you take me in?"

Hearing Cheng Mo say that he wanted to go in, the smile on the Asian maid's face became more sincere, "Of course you can, you only need to cast a $100,000 chip to enter the arena." ”

Cheng Mo took out three black $100,000 chips from the crystal box, handed them to the Asian maid, and said, "The three of us." ”

The Asian maid took one from Cheng Mo's hand, smiled and said, "We only charge for men here, and women don't charge..." ”

Cheng Mo gangster followed the maid and walked in, entering the door is an elegant black walnut bar, the solid wood wine cabinet behind it belongs to the typical rice style is regular and generous, the shutters reveal a trace of light, casting slender stripes in the bar hall, no one in the hall plays cards, only a few pairs of sporadic men and women sit in the coffee-colored soft leather sofa smoking cigars and drinking, one of them is another pair of men and women sitting next to the shutters, the redhead woman in revealing clothes is kneeling on the wooden floor, leaning her head between the legs of the man sitting on the sofa, the damp sound is a little loud, but no one looks。

Only Cheng Xiao and Shen Mengjie didn't know what those two people were doing at all, and looked at them a little strangely.

The Asian maid handed the blue chip to the maid standing at the bar, asked a few more words in English, and then walked towards the stairs on the right side of the hall with Cheng Mo, and said at the same time: "We have unlimited drinks and meals here, and the Taiwan fee is one percent ......" After a pause, the Asian maid looked back at Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao and said, "You brought a female companion yourself, you shouldn't need a female companion, right?"

Cheng Mo said: "No need. ”

The Asian maid said, "Do you need a translator?"

Cheng Mo shook his head and said again: "No." ”

The Asian maid didn't speak, and took Cheng Mo and they went up to the second floor, there was also a bar and sofa on the second floor, just on the left side of the stairs, a couple of men and women were sitting on the black sofa and kissing lightly, the Asian maid stood in front of the corridor facing the staircase and asked: "Now there are three stations, a ten-person platform, an eight-person platform, and a five-person platform, all of which are infinite, which one do you want to join?"

Cheng Mo said without hesitation: "Five-person platform." ”

Although the more people, the larger the prize pool, but for Cheng Mo, the fewer the number of people, the fewer variables, and the trade-off between the two is a little less.

The Asian maid said "yes" and led Cheng Mo and the three of them towards the rather spacious corridor, where the heads and furs of various animals were hung, and the outdated crystal lamps were appropriate at this time.

The four of them walked along the long corridor to the fifth door, and the Asian maid pushed open the door, and could see that in the center of the room was an oval table larger than the average gaming table, with a crystal lamp hanging from the gaming table, and ten people sitting around the gaming table, five men and five women, and their front was full of chips, compared to Cheng Mo's little chips.

At the moment, the dealer dressed as a bunny girl is dealing cards, and the blinds behind the dealer are closed, and you can see the "endless" field through the glass. The room wasn't big, but it wasn't small, it was quite spacious to accommodate a gaming table, with a sofa seat on one side and a bar on the other, and a blonde bunny girl standing in it.

The Asian maid said to the dealer, and the dealer arranged the position on the right side with Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo asked Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao to sit on the sofa for a while, but the two girls did not, and chose to sit around him and watch him play cards.

Cheng Mo sat down and did not immediately ask the dealer to deal cards, but first observed a few rounds, sitting opposite Cheng Mo was a bald head, shiny scalp like wax, shining in the light, he was wearing a red Superman mask, there was a yellow S in the middle of his forehead, a white shirt was pulled at his elbows, and there was thick hair on his arms, no doubt a white man.

Beside him sat a brown-haired woman who looked like Miranda Kerr in a long dark red dress.

The bald man is a young man with sunglasses, combed his back, wearing a black shirt, a million-dollar black chip spinning on his fingers, and a sexy blonde beauty sitting next to him.

The little young man is a white fat man with a beard, the fat man does not wear a mask, piled up in front of the table like a mountain of meat, Cheng Mo suspects that a stool can't accommodate his broad buttocks at all, the fat man is sitting on the left and right There are beautiful women, one black and one white, among which the black man is holding a silk scarf to wipe the fat man's sweat....

And next to the fat man sat a man in a black kimono with a corner of the fairy mask, this was the first time Cheng Mo had seen someone wearing a full-face mask like him. The man in the kimono has no female companion, and his subordinate is a tenzhu man who does not wear a mask, wears a yellow turban, has a full beard, and has large, round eyes.

There was a Tianzhu beauty wearing a light gold sari sitting next to the Tianzhu people, this was the most beautiful Tianzhu woman Cheng Mo had ever seen, just like Tagore's poem, the light gold sari glowed with a thin light in the light, setting off her gorgeous abnormality. Under the sari that wants to be transparent and hidden is her fair skin, which makes this Tianzhu woman have a touching beauty.

The Tianzhu woman has a nose ring on her nose, a silver chain connected to her ears, and a golden headdress hanging from her forehead, like a goddess of Tianzhu who came out of the legend. Even Cheng Xiao and Shen Mengjie couldn't help but say, "It's so beautiful", but Cheng Mo didn't look at it much, in terms of appearance, the exotic customs of Tianzhu women are really amazing, but aside from the exotic style, just talk about their appearance, they belong to Cheng Xiao's level, but Cheng Xiao is still young, and he is not so amorous.....

Cheng Xiao secretly looked at the Tianzhu woman sitting not far from her, and asked in a low voice, "Why do Tianzhu women wear a nose ring?"

Shen Mengjie said: "I don't know, it feels a little weird, like a cow's nose ring....."

Cheng Mo said lightly: "That's right, in India, this kind of ring is used to tie livestock, not to let them run around, and women are men's property, Tianzhu girls are not wearing nose rings before they get married, only when they get married, they will wear it solemnly, and they hit the nose ring, indicating that she is married, it is someone else's property, others are not allowed to touch it, in fact, don't say that it is not allowed to touch, even if it is not allowed to say two words with other men, if it is found by the woman's husband, she will be severely beaten..."

"So miserable?" Cheng Xiao couldn't help but turn his head again and quietly looked at the Tianzhu beauty, and immediately turned his head back with a red face after being discovered by others.

Cheng Mo glanced at Cheng Xiao and said, "Fortunately, you are a girl, if you are a man, it is estimated that there will be a fight now." ”

Cheng Xiao stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly: "Okay, okay, I won't peek..... Why don't you tell me how to play this Texas Hold'em?"

Cheng Mo explained the gameplay of Texas Hold'em to Cheng Xiao and Shen Mengjie in combination with the card game, and Shen Mengjie understood it at once, but Cheng Xiao asked Cheng Mo several questions before he understood.

After watching two more games, Cheng Xiao, who thought he had understood, said to Cheng Mo disapplausively: "You also said that Texas Hold'em is different from other gambling, I don't think it's as mysterious as you said, it's also a game of luck!"

Cheng Mo said lightly: "Then you can try it!"

Cheng Xiao hurriedly shook his head, "I don't dare." ”

"It's okay, it's fun, anyway, you just look at the cards and decide whether to follow or not....." Cheng Mo said

Cheng Xiao continued to shake his head, "I don't dare, I'm afraid of losing." ”

"Do you know that no matter what hand you play, God will take care of the newbies, so the luck of the newcomers is usually better, so you are doing me a favor. Cheng Mo said.

"Really?" Cheng Xiao didn't know how to play cards at all, and he didn't gamble much, so he asked with some doubts.

Cheng Mo nodded, "Of course." ”

"Then why don't you call Shen Mengjie to come?" asked Cheng Xiao.

"You two take turns...."At this time, just after the end of the round, Cheng Mo did not wait for Cheng Xiao to agree, so he lost 100,000 chips to be a small blind bet, and asked the dealer to deal cards, and the dealer dealt two cards in order, Cheng Mo's Shangjia Tianzhu bearded man called 500,000 US dollars, Cheng Mo said to Cheng Xiao who was looking at the cards: "Now you can look at the cards, decide not to follow." ”

Cheng Xiao looked at the A and J in his hand, and then looked at the pitiful millions of dollars in chips in front of Cheng Mo, and said with a confused expression: "500,000 at once?"

Cheng Mo naturally also saw the hole cards, and said casually: "It's just 500,000, you think you can follow it, and if you can't, you will lose the card....."

Cheng Xiao was a little nervous when he saw a circle of people looking in their direction, and said in a low voice, "Isn't that the $100,000 lost just now gone?"

Cheng Mo's eyes were quite calm in the face of a group of strangers, even if he didn't wear a mask, his expression would not change much, he calmly said to Cheng Xiao: "Don't worry about these, you can earn it back..... Don't be afraid, you're not bad ....."

At this time, the white fat man sitting in the middle looked at it and muttered twice, and when he saw that Cheng Mo did not respond, he said loudly: "chop-chop!"

Cheng Xiao saw that someone was urging, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "That'..... Then don't follow......"

Cheng Mo didn't look at the fat man much, and said lightly: "Fold." ”
