There is a dark cloud over the European continent. For ordinary people, they feel that something seems to have gone wrong. However, when they go out and come home, their lives go on as usual, making them feel that this is all an illusion.
Shocking news broke out one after another.
The king of a certain country's royal family embezzled a large amount of money and directly gave the throne to his son. In the end, he even expelled himself from the country.
What a scandal involving a politician and a high-class lady.
The boss of a high-end call girl agency was arrested, and the media reported that politicians and dignitaries from various countries, including a Saudi prince and several members of the Rothschild family, were all high-end VIP clients of this company.
A moment.
The storm is coming.
even...
Even San Lorenzo, which was reported yesterday, was hit by another magnitude 11 earthquake after the first earthquake. The super-large tsunami caused by the earthquake directly destroyed 85% of San Lorenzo's territory.
This news was quickly drowned out in the world of gossip.
After all, how can a small country with a population of less than 50,000 and no sense of existence compare with the scandals and gossips that are constantly exposed by major European countries and kingdoms?
The year 2004 was called the Year of Scandal by people in Europe.
and...
For the Security Council, 2004 was the year of the cloning crisis, which was enough to cause a huge crisis in human society and trigger a tsunami.
At the end of November.
The Security Council reached a consensus that the five major hegemons will join forces to comprehensively ban the existence of any form of cloning experiments. Once discovered, the Security Council will directly and forcefully investigate and impose strong sanctions on them on the grounds of "human security crisis."
Who made the Federation, after seeing that it could not cover up the truth this time, directly take out the cloning account found in the Paris estate of Daniel Whitehall, the European SHIELD assault, and directly tell the other four overlords that each of them has clones in their own team, and it is up to them to decide what to do.
In short.
In the past half month, the European continent has been very strange, but as half a month passed, the storm gradually subsided. In the eyes of most people, the sky is still blue and the sea is still blue.
It seems like nothing has changed.
most.
With the joint rescue efforts of the Security Council, a large amount of mercury residues were detected in the soil of San Lorenzo after the tsunami. It will probably take at least two years for San Lorenzo to recover.
In order to prevent unsuspecting people from rashly entering, Belgium and the Netherlands volunteered and expressed their obligation to strengthen patrols on their borders.
Without a doubt.
After the Security Council has dealt with the remnants on San Lorenzo, San Lorenzo, which has almost become a no-man's land, will be divided up by its two neighbors.
This is a wicked PY deal!
Right now.
Lake was on the top floor of the Immortal Castle, looking at the large town at the foot of the mountain which was almost taking shape. It would become the settlement of the first batch of Immortal vampires under the rule of the Immortal Royal Family.
Emilia leaned on Lake's shoulder and said, "According to the agreement we made with the Security Council at the time, once the Immortal City is established, the Immortal Blood Clan under the rule of the Immortal Royal Family will return here to settle down. So, do you think we have established a nation?"
Lake glanced at Emilia: "You are the queen now, the Immortal Queen!"
"What about you?" Emilia smiled. "Immortal Prince?"
Lake laughed: "I don't care."
He randomly chose the name Black King because he thought that the Black King represented his dark side, while Lake Edwin belonged to the light side.
but...
At that time, he was squeezed by his own little cotton-padded jacket. Black King, Black King, Lake suddenly felt that, indeed, just this name, people who didn't know him would think that his skin color was the same as his nickname.
In the afternoon.
Lake left the Immortal Castle and set off on a plane, flying directly towards the Federation.
December 1st.
9:00 AM New York time.
Lake returned to the Star Building with his backpack.
Dengdeng glare!
Lake looked at Skye who was walking down the spiral staircase in her pajamas and said with a smile, "Didn't you go to school today?"
Skye yawned when she saw Lake coming in, and walked down the spiral staircase: "We had a day off yesterday, okay."
Lake raised an eyebrow: "Yes, happy high school days."
Skye shrugged, "For others, yes. For me, no."
"Why?"
"Why did you sign me up for so many tutoring classes?"
"Hahaha!"
Lake threw his backpack on the sofa and walked towards the wine cabinet: "Because I have the financial resources, and knowledge makes people progress."
Skye came over and said, "I can understand the four foreign language courses, but etiquette, combat, and shooting..."
Lake said, "Etiquette is something you may or may not learn after you become an adult. But by the time you need it, it will be too late to learn it. The same goes for fighting and shooting. I'm a law enforcer, and didn't Gwen sign up too?"
Skye nodded.
Lake took a sip of his wine and said, "Because of the nature of law enforcers, you may not need these two courses, but when you do, they can save your life."
Skye tilted her head, sat down on the high stool, and blinked: "I thought you had solved all the troubles this time you went out."
"I hope so."
Lake smiled and said calmly, "But, even if the tree wants to be still, the wind will not stop. I want the years to be peaceful, but unfortunately, some people think that my peaceful years are just weakness."
Skye nodded, not quite understanding, "So, you're worried that one day I'll be kidnapped and used to threaten you."
Lake put down his glass and looked at Skye thoughtfully, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I remember that someone used you to threaten me once."
Skye's mouth twitched.
Next second.
Skye's eyes lit up and he looked at Lake: "By the way, that time, the bullet you shot turned a corner."
"Is there?"
"Yes, and you even lied to me and said I was hallucinating because of the bugs in my head."
"Isn't it?"
"no."
"It's an illusion. You remembered it wrongly. How could a bullet turn a corner?"
"…"
Lake smiled mysteriously at Skye, then poured himself a full glass of wine and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
Skye blinked, came back to his senses, turned around, and said to Lake, "I'm not hallucinating. I will definitely prove it."
Lake waved his hand: "Okay, if you can prove it, I will tell you something too."
Skye: "…"
Prove that the bullet turns?
It is estimated that at present, Lake is the only heir to the last intangible cultural heritage of "Bullet Turn".
Wow.
Why do I feel like I have another title?
Lake blinked.
Assistant Director of Operations at the Department of Homeland Security, Director of the Department of Homeland Security in New York State, Army Major, the killer Black King, and now, the sole inheritor of intangible cultural heritage?
I am really awesome.
Lake chuckled, entered the study, turned around and closed the door.
[Number of lucky draws available: 1447 (maximum number of draws for regular top-up)]
[The lottery is over and the system has entered the upgrade period. Estimated time (more than 24 hours)]
[After the upgrade is successful, low-value items will be automatically removed from the lottery system library, such as "Keep Up the Good Work," "Thank You for Your Patronage," red wine, diamonds, gold bars, and other items. The minimum guaranteed item level will be raised to B-level...]
This is when Lake gave Emilia the gold bars he got from San Lorenzo, and then asked Emilia to directly transfer 100 million.
result...
Lake originally planned to go all in and directly made a thousand draws. Unfortunately, no matter how many tricks Lake used, he was invincible and the final right of interpretation belonged to his own plug-in.
The upper limit.
Good job.
When Lake activated this system, he was thinking about one thing, using cash to draw lots. Maybe it might be difficult for him in the early stage, but as his plug-in becomes more and more powerful, the number of draws will only become easier and easier.
And this is based on the premise that Lake is a person with self-control.
If it were a time traveler with no bottom line, after obtaining this system, he would probably become a parasite and eat up Karen and Ross's savings. In short, he would go to whoever could give him money.
but...
It is estimated that such a person will not be able to get the system. After all, after Lake got together with Emilia, he knew that Emilia was very rich, but he never asked Emilia for money even when he was in need of money. Even the child support for their two children, Lake insisted on sharing half with Emilia.
The world is big, but face is the biggest.
A tree needs bark, and a person needs face.
Lake has always attached great importance to his face and dignity.
but...
It's also a good thing to smoke slowly.
At least Lake's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the items in the project category that would be removed after the upgrade. The number of draws in the early stage was originally small, and they were all paid with hard-earned money. Fortunately, he didn't get any "thank you for your patronage" or "keep up the good work" pop-up.
never mind.
One thousand four hundred and forty-seven draws, that's enough.
Just keep yourself invincible, and the lottery and other things are just icing on the cake.
"start!"
"boom!"
moment.
One after another, the shrinking golden treasure chests appeared directly in Lake's eyes. Soon, almost all of Lake's sight was occupied by the shrinking golden treasure chests.
