The whole scene erupted once again, with countless screams and boos filling the air. The situation was completely out of control. The muscles on my face and Baxter's had cramped, while only "The Genius" was frantically clicking the pictures on the stage. Of course, he also captured our expressions brutally.
"Gittel" remained expressionless as he inserted eight more silver coins and took eight items including the jade-level equipment, then moved on to the eighth slot.
Suddenly, a voice with a slight tremble sounded, it was the silent inventor of the dice machine, "Love Deep": "Stop! Stop! I need to check my dice machine!"
However, no one paid attention to him in the audience. Everyone continued to throw silver coins and continued to make noise.
Baxter recovered and raised his voice loudly: "Now, suspend the lottery draw. 'Love Deep' sir, please check the equipment. Let's all cooperate!"
The players in the audience shouted angrily: "No! It's too late to say the machine has problems now. We just wasted our money earlier!" "If you dare to be the banker, you must be able to afford to lose! Don't stop!" "I have precious time. How could I waste it waiting for you to check the machine!" ...
I stood up, while using the lord channel to issue an announcement and shouting loudly, "Please be quiet! If there is indeed a problem with the machine, only a few of the people at the front will be able to win the prize. Why are you all so excited? Don't you want a fair lottery?"
"To compensate for the time you have waited, I announce that the restaurants in the town will provide each of the players present with a free boxed meal worth 500 silver coins, and the beverage shop will offer a free glass of milk! Additionally, the town's hotel will provide free accommodation, and also, each player, we will compensate you 100 silver coins for your travel expenses!"
After passing through the intermediate third-class "Voice Training" and "Qi Training", my voice is now much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the commotion in the arena has calmed down a lot.
The commitment I made will cost me thousands of gold coins worth of material losses, but now is not the time to be sad about the money, preserving the reputation of Friendship Town is the most important thing.
The free boxed meals and milk are exactly promoting our town's famous products to these thousands of players. I'm not losing out either!
Baxter looked at me with a hint of surprise, his eyes containing the words "appreciation" in large letters. However, I didn't have any feelings of pride at all. Although the chaos had been controlled, the matter of "Gittel" had not been resolved.
With our help, we moved the dice machine back to a private residence and began to carefully study his work. I admire this inventor greatly. He dared to question the quality of his own work in front of so many people. It really requires a lot of courage, especially considering his current high reputation.
Like many players, I was closely watching the strange-dressed "Gittel", especially those sunglasses. The milk and boxed meals are not yet available in the game, so they must have been made by himself. And the hat on his head and the black robe on his body seem to have been custom-made by a master-level tailor, with an extremely strange style. Looking at it closely, it's almost like a modern trench coat. The most strange thing is that the style of his necklace is like a bow tie.
Someone in the crowd was discussing: "This is exactly like the image of the gambling god in those old gambling movies?" "No, it's the international standard image of a cheat!" "You all are wrong. He was imitating the ultimate boss in the gambling game 'Las Vegas'!" ...
"Gittel" seemed somewhat displeased by the looks around him. At this point, Baxter, after asking about the depth of love, announced to everyone: "The maintenance will take two hours. Please be patient and wait!"
There was another burst of noise and chaos, while Gittel walked towards the teleportation array.
I hurriedly followed him, and many people gathered around the teleportation array, wanting to see where he was going. However, Gittel's hand was too fast, and no one could clearly see which button he pressed; he vanished.
I hurriedly used the lord's privilege to check the previous income of the teleportation array: "70 silver coins." It was Sunset City!
I quickly transferred 4,000 silver coins from the town treasury and then teleported to Sunset City. I saw Gittel's figure flash quickly on the street, but I couldn't keep up; it was too fast!
But looking at the direction of his disappearance, I already guessed that his target was the largest casino in the city, "Golden Dream Casino".
Arriving at the Golden Dream Casino, I found Gittel's back at the dice table.
I quietly walked behind this Gittel, but my intuition told me that Gittel knew I was standing behind him, but he didn't turn around.
Gittel had just placed the lowest bet at the casino: 1 gold coin. This was the highest-level casino, with the highest gambling amount but the lowest commission, only 10%.
In ordinary casinos, 1 silver coin could be bet, and the commission was 15-30%. Such a high commission makes it impossible to win money without some skills. But even so, the business of various casinos was still extremely prosperous.
The world-famous gambling game "Las Vegas" has been taxed by various countries with various reasons for the game operators, forcing the game to raise the gambling commission to 20-30%, and the game point cards are also very expensive. Compared with the casinos in "Infinite World", it has no advantage at all. It is said that it has started to suffer losses now.
Then the dice rolled out, Gittel lost. But he didn't rush, and he placed another gold coin, and he lost again.
After losing five rounds in a row, Gittel suddenly took out 10 gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the 12-point bet.
The dice rolled out, three dice, total point 12. Guessing the point number rewards 6 times. Gittel won 60 gold coins, after deducting the commission, there were 54 left.
I gasped in surprise. So this is a master! How did he do it!
I imitated Gittel's manner, closed my eyes, and used the technique of heart connection to send out the detection spell at the dice cup.
I didn't see anything, but my inner intuition seemed to be telling me something, but I couldn't understand it clearly.
It seems that this Gittel is a player who is even more skilled in using heart connection, has an extremely high detection skill and intuition.
Gittel placed several more 1 gold coins in a row, all lost, and then, once again, he placed 10 gold coins on the 8-point bet.
Without hesitation, I also quickly placed 10 gold coins on the 8-point.
Sure enough, I won. Gittel slightly turned his head and glanced at me, said nothing, and continued to bet.
In this way, in less than twenty minutes, I followed Gittel and won 540 gold coins!
Suddenly, a middle-aged NPC walked out from the inner room, replacing the NPC beauty who was rolling the dice, and judging from her demeanor, this was a master returning. But Gittel and I still won three consecutive rounds.
The middle-aged NPC frowned, and Gittel suddenly stood up, left the dice table, and went to play cards.
Wherever Gittel went, I followed, and I won over a thousand more gold coins.
I was dizzy with joy. This kind of money is too easy to earn! If this continues, without a day, I can earn enough money to cure my illness! Can't be a dream, right!
I couldn't help but take a step closer to Gittel's ear: "Friend, here the maximum bet amount is 10. Let's change places, how about the gambling hall in Tianzhu City?" Gittel smiled and turned around, whispering in my ear, "Anyone who wins more than 100 gold coins in a single day in the game will be checked by the system. Also, anyone who wins more than 5,000 gold coins in a day will be checked. And if a medium-sized casino loses more than 10,000 gold coins in a day, it will also be checked."
My heart skipped a beat. Gittel was so afraid of being checked. Was he cheating, using some kind of hacking method?
Gittel said slowly, "Bet one more time."
I hurriedly followed him and placed 10 gold coins. The roulette wheel spun and the result came out. I lost! But Gittel won.
I opened my mouth wide and looked at Gittel. It turned out that he had changed the bet position just before the start!
Gittel smiled, "Bet one more time if you want to win money with me? You have to pay a price for it."
I finally realized it and nodded, "OK. For every time I win, I'll give you 30% of the money."
Gittel shook his head, "30% is not easy to calculate. 50% will do."
Five percent was fine too. So, after we won one more time, we moved to another casino.
While following Gittel to place bets, I asked, "Your ability is so strong. You can earn thousands of gold coins in a day. Are you now the richest person in the game?"
Gittel shook his head, "The money I won was all converted into cash and given to my boss."
I exclaimed, "No way! Thousands of gold coins can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of world coins! You yourself can become a billionaire in a year if you do it yourself. If you find some friends like me to help you place bets, you will definitely become the world's richest person one day! Why do you still work for others?"
Gittel said calmly, "I don't need the money."
I couldn't help rolling my eyes. There are still such people!
After spending over an hour in various casinos, Gittel suddenly said, "OK, I've won 4,999 gold coins today. I won't bet anymore. I'm leaving."
My heart jumped, "Where are you going? To level up?"
The gambling eyes looked at me and said, "Where else would I go? Of course, I'm going to your town to attend the lottery draw."
I was stunned. It turned out that he had known I was the lord of Friendship Town all along. But, he said he was going to attend the lottery draw in my presence. It was as if he was telling me, "I'm going to steal money from your house."
I coughed, "Brother, let's have a talk. The lottery draw for my town is very important. Can you please not go to it? I will thank you very much!"
Gittel looked at me, "How much do you offer to make me not go?"
I gritted my teeth, "3,000 gold coins!"
Gittel shook his head, "The prizes for your lottery draw are worth more than 70,000 gold coins. You must give at least 100,000 gold coins."
I jumped up, "You! You're not being polite to me!"
Gittel asked curiously, "Why not being polite?"
I shouted angrily, "To make more friends, there are more ways! If you really want to ruin my plan, I'll fight with you now. And in the future, I will never stop fighting with you!"
I was really getting anxious. The lottery prizes were small, but being treated as a laughingstock in Friendship Town was a big deal. Moreover, the lottery draw was originally scheduled to last for ten days. If Gittel took all the prizes on the first day, all the publicity plans would be ruined!
Gittel frowned, "Making friends? What's the use? Also, were you threatening me just now? What can you do to me? You're only 42 levels."
Watching Gittel walking towards the teleportation array, my heart was in a panic.
Suddenly, I shouted, "Those rewards are there. Except for you, I don't think anyone can take them. You have plenty of time. Why must you do it today!"Gittel said, "Then find me a reason why I shouldn't come today."
Seeing his wild look, my anger rose up in my chest and I shouted, "You love gambling, don't you? I'll bet against you!"
Gittel gave a little sound and showed an interested expression, "Sure, what do you want to bet on? Bet against me. The stakes should be at least 100 gold coins per round."
I immediately felt a bit regretful. How could I possibly beat him!
I gritted my teeth and said, "I won't believe you're really all-powerful. Let's go to the game hall!"
The game hall is a special place unique to the city. It has various card and leisure games. These small games, although simple, are something that humans never get tired of playing. Even for decades or even a hundred years, they remain the most popular.
According to statistics, 20% of the players in "Infinite World" specifically come to the game hall to play these small games. And 50% of the players, when they are tired of leveling up in real life, will go to the game hall to relax.
Back then, I was an all-round game player. I had a decent level in all kinds of games. I won't believe that I can't find a game where I'm better than Gittel.
Gittel readily accepted the challenge and chose the game type with me.
Entering the game hall, there were hundreds of halls, all crowded with people. We didn't waste any time and continued playing one after another.
The first round: "Tetris!" I was completely defeated.
The second round: "International Chess." I was completely defeated.
The third round: "Bridge." I was completely defeated. ...
Damn it! How could I not have guessed that this guy is an American? He's better at these things than me. He's playing our Chinese style!
Mahjong, Chinese Chess, Go, Sichuan Cards, Mahjong, Hoe-Di-Dee... Defeated.
Change again! Bubble Dragon, Connect Four, Matchmaker... Defeated.
Summoned Little Fat: "Little Fat, it's your turn. His so-called god-like power is self-proclaimed. You are truly a god. Help me defeat him and I'll offer you three consecutive meals!"
Little Fat glanced at Gittel with his eyes, his expression changed, and suddenly he laughed: "I'm not good at this. Let me go back to sleep." Damn.
Three hours, and all my 7,000 gold coins were lost!
Gittel still had that smile on his face. The victory or defeat seemed to have no effect on him. He was truly a master.
Gittel said slowly: "You don't have any money anymore, then I'll say goodbye."
At this moment, my eyes were red from crying. I shouted loudly: "I still have something. Look! This is a star-level equipment, valued at 5,000. I bet on it!"
So, blowing bubbles, hitting bubbles, eating bubbles... Still defeated!
I took out the moon-level equipment again...
Gittel suddenly said: "How much do you have left? Can we finish this bet all at once?"
I took a breath: "I'm afraid you can't afford the bet!"
Gittel smiled: "This shouldn't be a problem."
I shouted loudly: "OK! Let's bet one more time. What do you want to bet on? Well, there's this, Five-in-a-Row hasn't been played yet. Let's play!"
I pressed down on a moon-level equipment: "Come on!"
Gittel held black, and I still lost.
Finally, I let out a cry of despair: "Crazy! Crazy! Damn it, I won't believe it! Let's play another round! I bet everything! Nine moon-level equipment! Growth-type 'Bloodthirsty' God Gun! Growth-type set 'Shepherd's Set'! Special item 'Dream Soul Jar'! Special item 'Kuan Yin Bag'! Come on, what do you have to bet against me?"
Gittel looked at my equipment and still had a smile on his face: "Your stuff is good. I have to show my best to compete with you."
Looking at the items Gittel took out: "The 'Tiger God Set', slightly inferior to your 'Shepherd God Set'. However, with the Fire God Set, the equipment I just won from you, and adding 50,000 gold coins, it should be about right."
Watching Gittel place the items on the bet table, this time I was really going crazy!
Yes, the collapse and madness just now were all pretenses!
I lost 99 times in a row, just for this final blow!
Five-in-a-Row, the sure-win position for black - Pu Yue and Hua Yue. I learned this by heart since childhood. Even if I haven't played it for over 20 years, I won't forget it!
My second move was to touch the screen and shouted loudly: "Hua Yue!"
"Hua Yue" is the universally recognized sure-win opening for black. To limit this opening, some chess rooms set a three-move exchange rule. But, I chose this new novice chess room while pretending to be crazy!
Looking into Gittel's eyes with pride, wow, I didn't miss it, Gittel's eyes showed a different expression for the first time. Not fear, but sympathy!
There was an uneasy premonition in my heart, but it couldn't be! How could I lose? I was sure to win, no matter how smart someone was, they couldn't change the game!
When I reached about twenty moves, the next move was the four-three killing move. I laughed loudly and pointed at the touch screen.
Suddenly, a voice like coming from another space was heard, with a touch of tenderness, sadness, melancholy, and sorrow.
My head was like being struck by lightning, my finger tilted, and I pointed at a position on the touch screen that I definitely shouldn't have!
