Chapter 182: The Balance Called Luck

Out of the pile of bills are emerald green leaves.

The edges of the blades, which float like gravity, glow with a faint blue fluorescence, rising from the cracks in the banknotes.

Like self-homing missiles, these blades hovered and actively selected their own targets, and after locking on, they aimed at the old man standing at the table, and suddenly accelerated!

There is no doubt that this could only be a move performed by Pokémon -

Grass-type skill "Magic Leaf".

Instinctively sensing the danger, Vio hastily stretched out his arm to protect his head, waving his heavy purple robe in an attempt to block the attack from the unknown.

Although the sage robes of the plasma regiment were luxurious, they had no defensive function at all, and the "magic leaf" easily pierced through the robes, bullying and hitting Vio.

The skill pierced through the old man's body without hindrance, and blood flowed out along with fragments of internal organs - such bloodshed did not happen.

The reality is quite the opposite. Perhaps the Pokémon that used the move was too weak, and Vio, who was hit by the skill, was shocked into the pile of bills by the impact, but still did not lose consciousness.

It's just that with this level of move power, if it is not a human but a Pokémon that is hit, it probably won't leave even a trace of scarring.

Mr. Sage clinged to the edge of the table at the moment of "falling into the water", briefly burst out with vitality incommensurate with the elderly, and struggled to climb back to the relatively stable table table.

At the same time, the "frozen light" that the geometric snowflakes were condensing was once again recharged, and it was activated the moment the owner left the danger zone.

Six ice-blue beams of light light light up from different corners of the tank, each fanning across the underside of the table.

After the skill was released, the location where the Lingonberry King was hiding was completely covered in frost. Soft and valuable banknotes are treated at low temperatures to become fragile items as sharp and stiff as thorns.

It is impossible for lingonberries to dodge.

It is impossible for humans to survive such an attack, and even if the lingonberry finds an elf as a helper out of nowhere, it will definitely not be able to completely prevent this range attack without dead ends......

Vio sat down on the table, thinking in horror.

The next thing to do is to find those tickets and completely destroy the documents with their signatures and plasma seals, so that the worst can happen.

Just as the old man was about to relax his tense nerves, a faint cat meow sounded behind his ears.

Then the old man felt a strange itch coming from the part where he had been hit by the "magic leaf".

Looking down, his tattered purple robe was somehow absorbed with several pale yellow plant seeds. The seeds were growing rapidly, sprouting tiny vines that were now wrapped around Vio's body.

This is the "Parasitic Seed", and the lingonberry spirit hides the seed generated by the move under the blade of the magic leaf, and takes the opportunity to attack itself.

The old man had figured out the type of move, but it was too late.

Unlike the weak power of the previous wave, these rattans showed great control, and even if they pulled hard, they could not break free, and more and more branches and leaves grew from the seeds.

Perhaps the other party deliberately reduced the power of the "magic leaf" in order to conceal the existence of the "parasitic seed" in the leaf.

The vines continued to grow, and even though Vio struggled, the overgrown branches and leaves still trapped the old man's hands and feet for ten seconds, making him completely immobile.

The Pokémon that emits the skill is still hidden in the pile of bills, and with its petite size, it meows and swims nimbly around the room.

Judging from the Pokémon's cry, it is likely that the elf lying on the shoulder of the lingonberry before the start of the game is the grass beginner elf who was adopted from the Padia region through the channel of the Order.

Should it be said that he really deserves to be the king of the evil lineage, he has only been cultivated for less than three months, and he already has such strength.

The geometric snowflakes in the surrounding walls had somehow stopped attacking, which was also very wrong.

Being restrained by the "parasitic seeds" should have caused them to panic and attack indiscriminately, why was there silence in the reflective glass walls?

Could it be that they were quietly solved by the bilberry's off-the-plate tricks? How did the Celestial King, who had been frozen in frost, do this?

The next moment, a long-awaited click, so much so that it was a little nostalgic, came out.

The sound was not loud, but it seemed to resound throughout the glass secret room, and it made Vio's heart sink to the bottom.

It was the sound of the door lock being opened.

With the opening of the glass door leading to the gambling room, a large number of 10,000 yuan banknotes surged in the direction of the opening with a landslide-like momentum. The figure standing in the direction of the doorway had been prepared for this, standing steadily, standing still in the midst of the unbridled flow of cash.

The person who opened the door to the secret room from the outside had an exaggerated hairstyle, and was dressed in a dark blue dress, which was the same lingonberry that should have been sealed under the frost in the room.

Behind him is the turban thug who is the main force of the Heavenly King and joins his master.

The cockscomb-like hair of the turban bastard was a little loose and fluffy, and he looked murderous, and the orange fingers on his hands seemed to have just released their skills, and there were faint scorch marks between the fingers.

Seeing the appearance of his opponent, Vio instantly understood, and he understood why the geometric snowflakes arranged in the wall water tank were dumb at the same time-

The clear water stored in the tank is not only a stage for Pokémon to swim in the water system, but also an excellent conductor for current propagation. As soon as a powerful elf uses an electric skill on the surface of the water, the geometric snowflakes in the tank will be attacked at the same time, and there is no room to dodge.

Now it seems that there is a high probability that this turban thug has continuously used the "Thunderbolt Fist" against the water surface, and the fluffy cockscomb head is caused by the current escaping into the air......

Meaningless thinking flooded Vio's mind so much that he had not yet realized the simplest truth.

Lingonberry entered the gambling hall again, and a green kitten, like a wild elf on the side of the road, sprang out of the grass piled up with banknotes and scurried affectionately on the shoulders of the gambler's king.

"You've lost, Vio."

The gambler raised the objects in his hand, which were cheques and securities sealed in a special transparent document bag.

The signature is black and white, and the seal is as red as blood.

Winners and losers at a glance.

The old man, bound by the "parasitic seed", was stunned and lowered his head.

In the endgame of chess, the king of the general can still survive for a while, and even have the opportunity to use the remaining pieces to threaten the opposing king, but that's all.

Most of the impromptu counterattacks are too hasty, and no matter how much they try to survive, they will not be able to defeat the opponent who has the upper hand, especially when the opponent is well prepared.

Now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, even the last struggle has not worked.

At this moment, Vio was completely checkmated.

After dealing with the riots on the Royal United Ones, the bilberry finally found a time to rest, and was about to return to the cabin to take a nap, but when he turned around, he saw the superpower pavilion master of Guandu sitting on the sofa in the corner of the office, staring at the bilberry with a smile.

"Miss Nazi, may I ask what is the matter?"

Sensing the unfriendly air, the United Heavenly King asked cautiously.

"Although I said I would like to play a supporting role in this show, am I being assigned a position that is a little too marginal?"

Nazi propped her cheek with one hand, and her tone was very dissatisfied.

"Oh?" Lingonberry pretended to be surprised, "I thought that the inspired Magic Queen had foreseen such a future. ”

"The Queen of Magic is just the character I play in the movie, and in reality I am just an ordinary girl with superpowers."

Natsu said something that seemed inexplicable to others, but she seemed very serious.

Lingonberry sighed: "At the last moment, Xinye Meow was able to catch Vio, isn't it all due to Miss Nazi?" ”

"This credit is too unfulfilling!" Miss actress whined loudly.

"From beginning to end, you have thoroughly executed secrecy. Even if I made it clear that I was willing to help, all I did was entrust the new leaf meow to me to take care of, and I didn't tell me a word of prompting, and you will naturally know what to say then. I was nervous for a long time when the game was divided! ”

"Didn't things work out perfectly in the end?"

"Huh." Nazi snorted disdainfully.

"It wasn't until I saw the props that New Ye Meow was carrying that I finally understood your intentions. I don't see anything perfect except for your audacity. ”

Hearing her name again, New Leaf Meow poked her head out from the back of Lingonberry's neck.

On its neck hangs a small pale green leaf with three or two dark spots on the leaf, which looks like a human face from a distance. If you sniff it close to your nose, you can smell a nice fragrance.

New leaf meow likes this item very much.

The scientific name of this item is "Imitation Vanilla", and if it is used in a match, when the opponent's ability increases, the Pokémon carrying the item will also increase the same ability.

If you let the Pokémon wear it on a daily basis, it will make it easier for the Pokémon around you to learn egg moves that can only be mastered through genetics.

"Don't you have any concept of risk management at all?"

Nazi did not hesitate to reprimand the king in front of her.

"If I hadn't been able to find this prop in time, I hadn't been able to identify the type of prop that was rarely seen in the local area, and I hadn't been able to teach Shinye Meow moves in a short period of time...... Or maybe the trick taught is not the skill of "swapping places", and you will definitely be controlled by the siege of the old man of the plasma group. ”

Nazi thought back to the moment when she didn't know anything until the end of the game, and couldn't help but use her superpowers to find inspiration. Then she saw the leaves hanging from the neck of New Meow, as well as Vio and Lingonberries enclosed in a glass chamber.

A strong inspiration suddenly flashed through the superpower girl's mind - she must teach Shinye Meow the skill of "swapping places", so that the kitten can interact with the bilberry to prevent the force attack of the plasma group.

So she hurriedly sent out Hu Di to show the kitten the effect of "exchanging venues", and at the same time sneaked up with Shin Ye Meow to the ninth floor of the cabin under the transparent gambling room......

As long as one of the links is not done well, the consequences will be irreversible!

"This is, of course, because I believe in the abilities of Miss Nazi, you and Shinye Meow. When I come across the right bet object, I can't help but test it out like this. ”

Ignoring the pen and documents that were gradually floating weightlessly, Lingonberry smiled and confessed.

"The conditions for Shinye Meow to learn to 'exchange venues' are very demanding, and it is thanks to you that he can master this skill."

"It's a pointless gamble, but it could make you lose all your efforts in the Ssangyong poker game, hey, you finally won the duel with the casino legend."

Nazi, who watched Double Dragon Poker from the big screen, couldn't help but say.

Gambling on betting, this is not at all courage, but stupid madness.

However, the smile of the lingonberry king became even more rampant.

It's obviously an elegant and measured smile, but it's like the bloody mouth of a megalodon. It even made the leader of the gym who focuses on superpowers instinctively afraid.

"Unexpected luck can make a person reckless and arrogant, but tempered luck can be a reliable weapon. Similar to the theories developed by mathematical geniuses such as Vio and Fischers, I myself have a consistent life creed, which has little scientific basis, and is just a gambler's superstition. ”

Lingonberry slowly said the gambler's principle he adhered to -

"In life, the good and bad things that can be encountered are basically equal to each other. No matter how unsatisfactory the days are, there will be a turn for the better one day, and if you are particularly proud for a period of time, you must be especially careful of unexpected disasters. There is always a certain balance between good fortune and disaster. ”

"Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular." "It's a pretty casual theory, though it's hard to prove wrong." ”

"That's why whenever I try to do something very difficult, I take a steady approach, try to avoid any accidents caused by random probability, and use it to the most critical moments. For example, in the league match of the Four Heavenly Kings Champion, I will completely abandon the high-risk and high-reward tactics, and use the most practical basic skills to compete with those terrifying opponents. When faced with a less challenging problem, I am less inhibited, and I always deliberately try riskier strategies to see if something new and interesting will happen after taking a different approach. ”

For some reason, at this time, in the mind of the Lingonberry Heavenly King, the figure of a black-haired young man commanding the battle of the little flame monkey appeared.

It's so fresh that it's not interesting but curious, right?

"But if that's the case...... Nazi looked puzzled, "do you think the poker duel with that Vio is a very easy thing to do?" That's why you chose to take a risky approach to the aftermath of the race? ”

"Naturally. In addition, of course, there will be some insurance measures. Even if you and Shinye Meow don't save the scene in time, the Turban Gangsters will arrive at about the same time, but I may be hit by a few "frozen rays" of geometric snowflakes at that time, so thank you very much for your help. ”

Lingonberry thanked Nazi, and then patted the head of the green kitten on her shoulder as a reward, thanking her for saving the day.

The latter couldn't figure out what was going on, but he enjoyed the trainer's compliment and grunted happily.

"But the card duel looked quite anxious, and the people in the casino hall were very nervous watching the game, and they made astronomical bets that I could not have imagined. How can it be said to be easy? ”

"A gambler of the level of Vio, no matter how many come, no matter what the content of the gambling is, I can make the loss go bankrupt."

Lingonberry shook his head and declared arrogantly.

As frightening as ever, as suspicious as ever, and I don't know if it's a bluff.

"Anyone who has undergone a short period of special training and mastered certain skills under special conditions can win this game of Ssangyong Poker. The game was so tedious that the outcome was predestined long before the game began, and it wasn't even a decent gamble, so I had to look for excitement from outside the game. If it weren't for that, the balance of luck in my mind would not have been balanced. ”

Nazi stared at the former's expression for a long time, but she still couldn't tell the truth of her fantastical words.

Has Vio always faced such an enigmatic face at the table?

Nazi suddenly felt a little sympathy for the failed old man.
