Chapter 194: The Home of the "Gambler".
Looking at the four teammates around him, Wayne asked:
"Is there anything you'd like to attend?"
Elton was the first to reply:
"I want to go to one of the poker tournaments, don't worry, I'm very good at it. ”
Wayne nodded, looked at Paul, Chris, and Bonnie and said:
"Then Chris and Bonnie, you two can guess the dice, this is relatively the easiest, you can play boldly with confidence. Paul and I went to a puzzle game to make sure we got a very high score in this section. I believe that in the end, the high score of playing cards and puzzle games is enough to make up for the low score here in the dice guessing. ”
After explaining everything, Wayne's three teams first went to the waiter to register, which was a temporary team of three people with higher scores in order to prevent the final score.
Then the four of Wayne divided into three groups and walked to different areas.
Because it is a game competition opened by the casino, the on-site competition does not need to pay gold pounds, but under the arrangement of the casino staff, each participant keeps drawing lots to compete, and finally through the continuous promotion, according to the number of wins, get the single score of this game, and finally superimpose the three scores of the group to get the top three with the highest total score.
At this time, on the third floor of the highest floor of this casino, in a VIP room with a single glass side, the Earl of Wellington, dressed in a Clark dress, was sitting inside, leisurely drinking Bordeaux red wine.
Behind the Earl of Wellington stood his valet Brandt.
And across from him, sat an old man with a grim face. He wore a well-tailored dark brown gown and a silk top hat of the same color.
He has sharp blue eyes, sideburns dyed white, nasolabial folds deeply etched into his face, making his muscles droop, and a large emerald ring on his left hand.
If Oliver were here, he would probably recognize him as the host of the Wild Extraordinaire gatherings that Oliver had brought Chris to many times, Mr. Gabriel, the appraiser.
Wellington shook the mellow red wine in his glass slightly, looked at Gabriel and smiled:
"It's really troublesome, Mr. Gabriel, to help me do this. ”
Gabriel was looking through the glass at the many players participating in the game downstairs, and after hearing the words of the city lord, he turned his head to look at Wellington and said politely:
"It was Archbishop Craigie Langman who asked me to come, but it is also my honor to be able to do things for the lord of the city. ”
After hearing this, Wellington smiled but did not say anything, he didn't have such a big face to invite a "Sun Priest" of Sequence 6.
As he said, it was yesterday that Wellington went to the Church of the Constant Sun to visit Archbishop Craigie Longman, who asked Gabriel to come and help.
Because only the extraordinary person of "Qiguang Man" sequence 6 and above can help Wellington, and to achieve his goal, it is to screen out the extraordinary person of the "gambler" path from so many contestants downstairs.
This is also one of the extraordinary abilities of the "Sun Priest", which can not only identify the authenticity of potion formulas and extraordinary materials, but also the sequence path of the person he sees.
However, there is one restriction that the "Sun Priest" must have seen these transcendent items and sequence pathways before, and if they are extraordinary pathways that have never been seen before, then they cannot be identified.
"'Scholar', 'Reader', 'Investigator'...... It seems that there are not only wild extraordinaries downstairs, but also a team of 'punishers'. Gabriel said, and then his eyes froze, revealing a wry smile, "'Qiguang people'? there is even a 'Immortal' of our church, are these little guys so short of money now?"
Wellington thought to himself, no wonder Zach told me that the "Sun God Officer" is also known as the "Appraisal Officer", this ability is really powerful.
Immediately glanced at Zack behind him, it seemed that it was time to help him buy the potion of the "Qiguang People" path sequence 7, so that he could be called a "Light Priest" as soon as possible, so that he could help himself accomplish more things.
In fact, as early as two years ago, Wellington knew that Zach had completely digested the potion of "Flame Walker", but considering that once Zack's strength reached Sequence 7 or even Sequence 6, he was afraid that he would not use it for himself, so he pretended not to know and did not give him the funds to be able to purchase the Sequence 7 "Light Sacrifice" potion recipe and extraordinary materials.
And in the past two years, Zach has obviously been working hard to make money, after all, the potion recipe and the required materials for Sequence 7 add up to nearly 2,000 gold pounds, which is really a huge asset for ordinary people.
This is also another major factor that restricts the promotion of the Extraordinary, which is the scarcity and high cost of the Intermediate Sequence Potion recipe and the required Extraordinary Materials.
Wellington put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Gabriel and smiled:
"Can you tell if there are any extraordinary 'gamblers' in this gambling house now?"
Gabriel, of course, knew that his task was to find out all the "gamblers", and at this time he shook his head and said:
"Not yet, there are very few extraordinary people in this way, and I have only seen one in so many years. ”
Looking at Gabriel's vague eyes, Wellington knew that he was talking about his first wife, Sophia, the "Gambler" path Sequence 8 "Lucky Man".
At this time, in the lobby on the first floor of the "Berta Entertainment Casino", where there are many players, Chris is playing against a fat man in a decent suit, and Bonnie is standing next to him.
Perhaps because of the crowds and the heat, the fat man's face was already sweating a lot.
And Chris, who was competing with him in this round, was looking at him with a relaxed expression at this time, but there was a hint of blue in the depths of his dark brown pupils.
This round of the game has been contested nine times, and it will be over in the tenth round, but the fat man on the opposite side has lost eight times in guessing the dice.
After the dealer rolled the dice this time, Chris won the round with a casual finger.
Watching the gray-faced fat man leave, Bonnie, a little girl full of surprise and adoration, looked at Chris and exclaimed:
"I didn't expect you to play this, and you're so good! I was worried just now, hmph, Sister Wayne also said that we must have the lowest score in the three groups. Well, our group will definitely win the first place in the competition. ”
"Chris" seemed to be infected by the little girl's emotions, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and gently lifted Bonnie's chin that had lost baby fat, and said with a smile that he thought was charming:
"It's not because I'm amazing, it's because I have a cute little girl like Bonnie by my side. ”
After hearing Chris's sensational words, Bonnie's little face quickly turned red, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look into his eyes again.
Soon, the dealer matches Chris, the winner of the round, with a player who also wins the round.
"Chris" smiled slightly, for a "gambler", this is his home field.
"Gamblers" not only like gambling and adventure, but also have a super high spirit case, can sense the weight and bets in the other party's hands. And the "lucky man" can not only accumulate "good luck", but also superficially increase and steal a little luck from others, so that the other party becomes lucky and unlucky.
Therefore, the only person who can beat a "gambler" at the table is a "gambler" with a higher rank.
Beyond that, it's a rich man's game, not a poor man's game.
It's a glimpse of people's blind superstition, natural selfishness, and endless greed, which swell again and again as the chips move repeatedly on the table in the casinos that are extremely extravagant day and night.
Because the game is a points-based competition, the losers did not leave, and in the evening, it was still crowded.
"Chris" looked at the time of the pocket watch, it was already past 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that today's game was almost over.
And he had been out for nearly 12 hours, and "Chris" rubbed his head, there was really not much spirit left in his body.
At 12 noon, Wellington and Gabriel left for a casino in the East End, and finally at 4 p.m., to a casino in the North End.
The Earl of Wellington, in order to find an extraordinary person in the "gambler's way", united with the three largest gambling houses in Federenburg to launch this three-day game competition.
Of course, the huge amount of 3,150 pounds accumulated in the past three days was not paid by Wellington himself, but by the owners of the three major gambling houses.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the 12-hour game was over.
At this time, Chris and Bonnie walked over to Wayne and Paul, and then Elton also walked over.
It's just that compared to Bonnie's excited looks, Wayne and Paul's faces are relaxed, and Elton's faces are not very good.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" said host Carey Percy, who had changed into a burgundy tuxedo, as she walked onto the stage and shouted as she watched the guests gathered.
Wearing a delicate bow, he walked onto the most central stage and laughed loudly:
"Thank you again for coming to our 'Berta Entertainment Casino' game competition, thank you for your support! The final scores of the three games of poker, dice guessing and puzzle solving are now being calculated in the background, and each of you can now calculate it first, if there is a dispute in the end, you can ask our waiter. ”
Then, in the midst of a cacophony, Wayne looked at Elton and Chris and asked:
"Let me start with it, my puzzle game is different from yours, there is no opponent, but to solve some puzzle scenes set up by the casino, and it is 10 points to successfully solve one, but each group can only participate in a maximum of ten, and only after successfully solving one, can you join the next one, and the difficulty is also increasing layer by layer. Out of ten puzzle games, Paul and I cracked four each, so the final score was 80 points. ”
