It is said that a person with 500 million yuan in cash will do everything very smoothly.

There is a rationale for this – having enough money can significantly reduce costs in the transaction process and help buyers take the lead in negotiations.

Coupled with the prestige of the Evil King and his own communication skills, Lingtanger still managed to achieve his goal, despite the fact that the Alliance's wanted wanted made every transaction have to be carried out in a dark corner.

In less than a month, while Detective Hugo was still playing video games in the Yusu Mansion, a glittering gambling cruise ship had quietly gone to the shipyard in the city of Fanba.

The giant cruise ship, originally called the "Royal United Ship", was certainly not comparable to the high-tech giant ships delivered to the Plasma Regiment by the water fleet, and could not be equipped with main guns or soar from the sea, but it was about the same size as the latter.

The 10,000-ton cruise ship has hundreds of luxury suites, restaurants, bars, baths, swimming pools, cinemas, nurseries, battle spaces, and all kinds of living and entertainment venues - all of which were originally in place before the lingonberry chartered the ship.

On this basis, the lingonberry continued to invest heavily in the complete transformation of the cruise ship into a maritime casino, by breaking down the walls, adding installations, and creating an atmosphere.

The first is the interior decoration of the cruise ship -

The interior style, which was originally sold as a comfortable sailing, was replaced with a luxurious black and gold theme; A large amount of environmentally friendly paint mixed with gold powder was bought, and the inner wall of the aisle of the cruise ship was painted without money; Whether it is furniture, ornaments or paintings hanging in the corridors, all of them are decorated with the highest decoration schemes, and even compete for works of art from auctions; It is a ship sailing on the sea, but a huge aquarium-style water tank is installed in the largest hall, and various water-based Pokémon are released here to cruise and swim; Theater-like lighting and concert-quality sound equipment are installed in every corner of the ship......

Then came the gambling equipment -

As if they had ransacked a land-based casino, Lingonberries loaded countless gambling props onto ships. Rows of pachinko machines and slot machines, the finest roulette wheels, tables made of precious oak, professional chessboards that can only be used in professional tournaments, Pokémon tooth-sharpened dominoes and dice, and a myriad of gambling devices with mechanical devices...... As well as chips of various colors that are not inferior to real money, circulated between casinos, and can be exchanged at the same price as the common currency of the league.

And finally, the people—

Generally speaking, gamblers' friends are moths who only add chaos to society, and the evil king, who is a former gambler, naturally knows this well. Therefore, during the construction of the gambling cruise ship, he did the opposite and found a large number of his own "enemies". Among them, there are bookmakers who are good at inducing customers to stay at the table, dealers who are selfless and can subtly control the gambling game at critical times, casino managers who are so proficient that they can see through any scam, and casino PR who can stimulate customers' desire to gamble...... These characters, who seemed to be natural enemies in the eyes of gamblers, were gathered by lingonberries and lured by high salaries to board the new "Royal United States".

Thus, since the founding of the United League, the most luxurious casino in the land was born.

A magical cruise ship built in a month to travel between the abyss and the sea, and set sail.

。

"When Bilberry first started running the casino, no one in the Order cared about it. Although he has become a traitor to the Alliance, he is not the kind of person who has defected to a rival organization and started to do nothing. In return for 500 million yuan in cash, Yue Orange took the initiative to serve as the Order's strategic advisor to the United Alliance, and promised to fight against the Heavenly King's champion-level opponents at a critical moment, that is, his old colleagues—but until now, such a fierce confrontation has never happened. ”

On the speeding yacht, the old man Smra held his forehead and continued to explain to N in a sullen tone the reason for the crisis of the plasma cluster-

"Pure consulting work does not require physical presence, so bilberry has always communicated with the Order through remote communication. And his real body has always been on that strange luxury cruise ship. ”

The casino, which cost 500 million in cash, has changed into a behemoth during this period.

Originally, under the deliberate control of the local Pokémon Alliance, the gambling industry of United Crowd has been suppressed in the dark corners of society for a long time. Open casinos are either directly regulated by the league or heavily taxed, which is undoubtedly a huge and heavy shackle for casinos that value privacy and excitement.

The advent of the "United Royal" changed this situation. The newly opened casino is neither controlled by the league nor subject to any restrictions. It is completely a gambler's paradise created by the Lingonberry King in order to satisfy his own selfish desires!

Before you know it, the ship is full of money and desire.

500 million yuan in cash is like a lever in a physical problem, easily making more than ten times the wealth out of gravity, and it begins to dance with the heart of the casino owner.

Tourists who come out of curiosity, gamblers who dream of making a fortune, rich people who gamble happily, criminals who are waiting for money laundering, jewelers who make a fortune, antique dealers who counterfeit, thieves with evil intentions, aristocrats who sit on empty seats, and incognito actors, all these kinds of people gather on the giant cruise ship as if they have been called by fate.

Among them, of course, also includes the cadres of the plasma group.

"A month and a half after the Bilberry King opened the casino, we realized something was wrong. More than seventy percent of the cadres of the Plasma Regiment began to disappear quietly on their rest days, and when the organization summoned them, they belatedly appeared with thick circles under their eyes, their faces were full of fatigue after burning out of passion, and the whole person was as muddy as a swaying spot. There were more and more cadres of such organizations, and it was only then that we discovered the crux of the problem - every land mooring point of the Bilberry Gambling Cruise was located near the base of our Order, and the members of the Plasma Regiment enjoyed special hospitality in the casino, and even when the gambling money was insufficient, they could participate in the higher level of gambling games on the ship. ”

The old man shook his head as he spoke.

Although the plasma regiment advertises the liberation of the elves and preaches freedom, equality and world peace everywhere, the cadres in the organization are by no means good-natured.

When the Seven Sages first began to expand their organization, they mainly focused on meritocracy. As long as their abilities help the Order's expansion, they can find a place in the Order, regardless of whether they are originally hooligans and bullies or thieves and crooks.

After so many years of expansion, those original grassroots personnel have now become middle and high-level people who hold a certain amount of power in the order.

For them who are getting richer, there is no better place to entertain than the casino in Bilberry.

"Why didn't you issue an order prohibiting members of the Order from entering and leaving the casino?"

N frowned and asked the old man—

"The behavior of the bilberry is clearly harboring evil intentions. On the one hand, he used sugar-coated cannonballs to win over the cadres of the Order, corrode their minds, and turn them into crazy gamblers, and on the other hand, he was also embezzling the wealth created by the Order little by little, pulling the wealth that should have been invested in the cause of elven liberation into the dark abyss. He should have taken advantage of the fact that his casino was just starting out and cut off the connection between the Order and the casino. ”

"Your judgment, Your Majesty, is incomparably correct. And that's what we judged when we discovered this phenomenon – but the problem is ......"

Smura sighed heavily, as if a little embarrassed.

"We underestimated the extent to which that cruise ship was encroaching on the Order."

"What do you mean?" The green-haired youth could not understand what the sage meant.

"After deliberation among the Seven Sages, we have appointed a senior cadre who has been following us since the early days of the Order, and he has issued an order prohibiting members of the Order from continuing to enter and leave the casino. After the order is issued, if such behavior is repeated, the cadres who violate the rules will not only be severely punished, but also expelled from the plasma group. ”

This was a very strict restriction order, and the fact that the Seven Sages were able to come up with such a neat countermeasure in the first place was enough to prove that their title was not an exaggeration.

"But we made a mistake anyway."

Smura bowed her head and said apologetically to N.

"We didn't know that the high-ranking cadre who took on the responsibility of rectifying the Order had already sunk into the abyss of gambling. The phenomenon of middle and high-level cadres of the Plasma Regiment entering and leaving the casino has not only not been curbed, but has become more and more intense, and just two weeks ago, there were reports of financial emergencies in various bases within the Order—there was no doubt that some cadres had embezzled the Order's action funds and invested them in that bottomless black hole at sea. ”

The high-ranking cadre who sank into the abyss disappeared quietly after his act of shielding the casino was exposed, and a few days ago, his body was found near the Charizard Bridge in the city of Fanba.

It is said that before his death, he had already owed hundreds of millions of yuan in gambling debts on the "Royal Union", and the reason why he betrayed the Order to protect the casino was to escape the gambling debts.

At this time, Smura said, "Actually, until this time, things have not developed enough to shake the foundation of the Order. The casino in Bilberry is nothing more than a moth, and it will not put the Order in danger of breaking the chain of funds. ”

N raised his head, the information provided by the other party was enough, and he could already independently guess the next direction of the incident.

"It's one of the Seven Sages who has died, right?"

The more impregnable the fortress, the easier it is to crumble from within. The only people who can bring the plasma to the brink of destruction in a single thought are the Seven Sages at the center of the Order.

The stern gaze of the green-haired young man seemed to be condemning the king of his subordinates—

"Someone is dissatisfied with the behavior of the lingonberry, and personally went out to bet with the other party, isn't that so?"

"Exactly." The old man nodded sadly, "It's Vio." But he may not be one of the Seven Sages now. ”

The genius professor with a double doctorate in mathematics and finance, the scholar who introduced N to the charm of the kingdom of mathematics and physics, and the genius who is invincible in the field of venture capital, have now lost.

"He lost everything in his bet with the lingonberries."

Smola said with a sigh.

This was exactly what he had heard in the operation room before the ship was diverted, and it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.
