"The death god's bet?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is that?" "This is a special bet that uses life as a chip," the ghost-faced man said hoarsely, "If you win me, I will give you ten destiny chips. These chips come from the god of gambling and are priceless. I don't know how many people out there have been fighting for them, but they can't even get one." "What if you lose?" Chu Xiu asked calmly. "Do you still need to ask?" The ghost-faced man was a little impatient, "I've already said, this is the death god's bet that uses life as a chip." "Death god?" Chu Xiu sneered and interrupted him, "How many divisions does the death god have? I want to know the specific situation. How are you going to take my life?" The ghost-faced man seemed to have never seen such an arrogant person. He was speechless for a while, and he was dissatisfied for a long time: "Why ask so many questions? Anyway, you can't refuse the bet, unless you want to stay here forever." But halfway through his words, his body suddenly stiffened as if he had been electrocuted, and white smoke came out of his body. After a few seconds, he recovered and said reluctantly: "According to the rules, I must answer your questions." "If you lose, you will be punished by the notary. If you can resist, it will be my bad luck, but you can still survive."
As his hoarse voice fell, four candles suddenly lit up around the two of them. These candles further illuminated the room, and Chu Xiu also saw the true face of the "furniture" around him. On both sides of him, there were rows of shelves. On the left shelf, there were all kinds of torture instruments stained with dried blood, saws, branding, pliers for pulling nails, wires connected to high voltage electricity, etc. On the other side of the shelf, there were guns and ammunition of various calibers, which looked a bit old and covered with dust. On both sides of the cabinet, there were two tall and thin men in formal wear, without facial features, and with extremely uncoordinated body proportions. They were obviously the notaries mentioned by the ghost face. Chu Xiu looked at the torture instruments on the cabinets on both sides with some amusement: "Do you think these things can hurt me?" The ghost-faced man did not answer, but just said: "If you are ready, press the button on the side of the chair." Chu Xiu did not rush to act, but was thinking whether to play the game according to the rules or just force his way out. Although these chains are heavy, with his abnormal physique of nearly 400 now, it is still enough to break free easily. As for participating in the gambling game, to be honest, although Chu Xiu is a little morally corrupt, he is not involved in all bad habits. At least he has never been to a casino in his previous life until he was almost 30 years old. Even when playing poker during the New Year, he was the one standing by and watching. And his gambling luck is very bad, and the few gamblings he has made have ended in a miserable defeat. And the guy opposite is a veteran at first glance, and who knows what bad farts are waiting for him. Compared to using his brain in the field where others are good at, he prefers to smash everything with the devil's hand. And just as he was thinking, the task panel rose in front of him at the right time. [Trial name: Iz Tal Ogos's Gamble] [Trial description: The world ruled by β-2345 Ogos, as an outsider who believes in the god of gambling, has turned his world into a huge casino, where everything you have, including your body and soul, can be used as chips, and you can use this as a bet to win anything. ] [Trial task: Have forty chips at the end of the time limit (extra chips will be converted into task contribution)] [Extra task: Get as many chips as possible in exchange for the qualification to enter the Golden Hall. ] [Trial time limit: six hours] [Trial basic reward: 800 causal points + random special props]
[Current chips: 0] Looking at the panel in front of him, Chu Xiu showed a thoughtful look on his face. "Is it a copy that is biased towards intelligence? This is not my advantage." Chu Xiu's understanding of himself is very accurate, and he is definitely not a fool, but compared to the ceiling-level power, his intelligence is definitely inferior. However, he did not hesitate too much, and raised his hand to press the button on the chair. With a light "beep", to Chu Xiu's surprise, not only did nothing bad happen to him, but the iron chain that bound him fell off on its own. Just when Chu Xiu was confused, suddenly an illusory chain connected to his left wrist. At the same time, the ghost-faced man on the opposite side suddenly burst into an astonishing laugh: "Hahaha! You idiots! Everyone is equally stupid! Do you think I can't hurt you, so you accept the bet readily?" "I tell you, whether it is the iron chain or these torture instruments, they are used to confuse you and make you think that everything is under your control! Even if you lose, it will be okay! I understand the arrogance of you awakened people too much, hahaha!" "Now that you have been linked to the 'Chain of Bet', you must make a bet! Any form of resistance or violation will be directly punished by the 'Chain of Bet'!" As he said, the ghost-faced man clapped his hands, and several oil lamps lit up in the distance. Chu Xiu then discovered that in the corner of the room, there were two large-caliber cannons from the 19th century! At this moment, the huge black muzzles were pointed directly at him! Next to each cannon, there was a notary holding a fuse, ready to ignite the cannon at any time. What was even more bizarre was that at the moment the oil lamp was lit, all the equipment on Chu Xiu's body was forcibly stripped off! Instead, it was replaced by a thin linen coarse coat! At the same time, the illusory chains that bound him were still continuously extracting his attributes! And suppressed his skills! This made Chu Xiu's eyes flash with a hint of horror. What a domineering effect! "You have three chances in total." Just when Chu Xiu was surprised, the proud voice of the ghost-faced man suddenly sounded. "If you lose for the first time, you will be randomly punished by the notary. If you lose for the second time, I will choose a firearm and execute it personally. If you lose for the third time," The ghost-faced man pouted at the cannon behind Chu Xiu: "You don't need to tell me what the outcome will be, right?" "Of course, you may not be able to survive until then." "Don't use other crooked ideas. In the gambling game, any aggressive behavior that is not regulated by the gambling game will be judged as a violation, ho ho ho." Speaking of this, the ghost-faced man couldn't help but snickered, looking as if he was convinced. What he likes most is admiring the transformation of the awakened people who come here, from confident to terrified. The two artillery pieces he deployed were genuine shore defense artillery pieces. Even if they were antiques from the last century, they were still astonishingly powerful, enough to penetrate the defensive armor of a light warship at a distance of a thousand meters! If the awakened person who has been deprived of equipment wants to survive under this kind of firepower, he must have at least a constitution of 100 or more, combined with defensive skills, to be able to save a life. It is even harder to break free of the chains. Not only must he have a constitution of more than 100 The physique must also have a high resistance to mental attacks to resist the backlash when the chain is broken. Normal level 9 awakened warriors have a total physique of just over 100. Only S-level melee professions can reach 200, and their mental resistance is generally weak. Moreover, this chain is an attack on the soul. Those with high physical fitness and poor melee professionalism will be sucked away more of their physical fitness, and their defensive skills will be greatly suppressed. Those with high mental health are generally fragile, so he has never I have seen awakened beings able to survive bombardment, even S-class ones!
In his eyes, although the awakened person opposite could still maintain his composure on the surface, in fact, his dull eyes had betrayed him. He must have been frightened and completely at a loss, and was so scared that he froze in place! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh strangely. However, what he didn't know was that Chu Xiu didn't have any panic in his heart. He just looked at the ghost-faced man across from him with a speechless expression. "Do you think you've got me?" I have to say that the psychological strategy of the Ghost Face Man is indeed interesting, and the effect of the Chain of Bet is also very overbearing. If he guessed correctly, this should be a prop given by a higher-level existence to maintain the "fairness" of the gambling game. Under the influence of the chain of bet, Chu Xiu's physique was only a pitiful three hundred! The power of the Demon Hand has also been suppressed by a full 12%. If you resist this cannon, your skin will probably be broken! Shaking his head in amusement, Chu Xiu asked, "Then what if you lost?" "It's impossible for me to lose," the ghost-faced man said confidently, "Of course, if I lose, the same rules apply." Hearing this, Chu Xiu looked up and found that the Ghost-Faced Man's left hand was also locked by the chain of the bet. Chu Xiu turned his head and looked again. There were two similar cannons behind him, aiming at the Ghost-Faced Man. "Okay, stop talking nonsense." The ghost-faced man pushed a wooden box in front of Chu Xiu and opened it. "Choose the bet you want to participate in." Chu Xiu looked down and saw that there were three depressions in the wooden box, each containing a deck of playing cards, an exquisitely crafted ball of unknown purpose, and a stack of copper coins. "Why don't you introduce the rules first?" Chu Xiu said. The ghost-faced man curled his lips: "Only by choosing can you know the rules. Come and follow your intuition." "Let's play cards." Chu Xiu didn't hesitate. "good." The Ghost-Faced Man took the playing cards out of the box and handed them to the notary beside him. The latter shuffled the cards and dealt them face down on the table one by one. This playing card is dark gold, very similar to the color of the table, and has a gilt diamond pattern on the back. Chu Xiu squinted and looked at it, but didn't see anything fishy. "The rules are very simple, do you know blackjack? 2 to 9 are counted as 2 to 9 points respectively, 10 and flower cards are counted as 10 points, and A can be regarded as 1 point or 11 points." "Each person is initially dealt two cards, and can choose not to or continue to ask for them later. If it exceeds blackjack, it will be busted, and the other person will automatically be determined to win. If neither of them busts, the one with the larger number will win. If the cards are the same, the one with more cards wins, and if they are the same again, it will be counted as a tie.” "Of course, what is different from the common blackjack is that there are two decks of cards here. Our first two cards are dealt by the notary, and the rest can be freely taken on the card table. ” "How's it going? It's easy, right? Do you have any questions?" Chu Xiu looked at the covered playing cards carefully, raised his head and said, "Isn't this some special prop card?" "If any cheating is found, it will be automatically judged as a loss."
Chu Xiu nodded: "Then I have no problem." The ghost-faced man chuckled: "Then, the gambling begins!" As his voice fell, the notary without facial features on the side dealt two cards to each of them. Chu Xiu picked it up and saw that they were a 2 of diamonds and an 8 of clubs. "I am the master, I will let you go first in the first round." The ghost-faced man said with a faint smile. As he spoke, he placed his cards on the table and covered them with his palms. Chu Xiu's two cards now only add up to ten points, so he naturally chose to take the card without hesitation. He carefully observed the upside-down poker cards on the table again, and after still getting nothing, he randomly drew a card. He was lucky and drew a spade 9 directly, which brought his total number of cards to nineteen points, which was considered very large. When he drew the cards, the ghost-faced man stared at him, and when he finished drawing, the ghost-faced man also drew a card. "Do you want to take it again?" The ghost-faced man asked. Chu Xiu shook his head, and the ghost-faced man took another card, and then announced that he would not take any more cards. The faceless notary spread out his hands wearing white gloves, indicating that the two of them should open the cards. Chu Xiu put the cards on the table, and the ghost-faced man opposite him also showed his hand. 3 of hearts + 7 of clubs + 8 of hearts + 2 of spades, a total of twenty points. "Oh, it seems that my luck is better." The ghost-faced man smiled. Chu Xiu touched his chin thoughtfully. The last card drawn by the ghost-faced man was the 2 of spades, which means that even though he had 18 points in his hand, he still chose to draw a card. Can he see through his own hand? Or is he confident that he can draw the card he wants? Or maybe both? Chu Xiu carefully checked the cards on the table again, but still found no problem. "Is it some special skill? No, the ghost-faced man will also be suppressed by the gambling chain." Chu Xiu used the ghost demon pupil to scan it as soon as he came. The ghost-faced man was only a level 5 soldier, and several notaries were only level 9 soldiers. In this case, he would be suppressed by the gambling chain and could not use any skills. "That's the prop." "Is it invisible ink that requires special glasses to see? No, he seems to be wearing just an ordinary mask." Not to mention that with his current perception ability, he didn't think that ordinary invisible ink could deceive his eyes. Chu Xiu looked around again, but didn't find any hidden cameras or other things that could monitor his cards. This made Chu Xiu frown. Is it really luck? No, he must have cheated, otherwise he wouldn't have asked to choose his own cards. Wouldn't it be fairer to just let the notary issue all the cards?
But Chu Xiu couldn't think of how the other party cheated. "Damn, I knew I wasn't good at gambling." Just as he was muttering in his heart, the ghost-faced man's triumphant laugh rang out again: "You lost the first round, but it doesn't matter, you still have two chances." "But before that - hehe, you have to go through another punishment." "What should I choose? Electric shock? Or skinning? They all seem a bit boring. Well, I used pliers to break off the nails of the last person, so this time I'll choose a branding iron!" "Where should I print it? On the chest or the back? They're all too cliché! That's right! On his face! Notary, print it on his face!" As the ghost-faced man's excited shouting fell, the notary walked to an iron furnace, took out a red-hot branding iron from it, and then slowly walked to Chu Xiu's side. The ghost-faced man sat up straight, his eyes shining. As he watched expectantly, the notary pressed the iron towards Chu Xiu's face. However, just as the iron was about to touch Chu Xiu, a strange green flame suddenly rose and climbed up the front of the iron. Immediately, under the incredible gaze of the ghost-faced man, the iron melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant it turned into molten iron and fell to the ground. This scene made the notary stunned in place, and then silently walked back to his original position. "Can we start the next game?" Chu Xiu's calm voice sounded. "You, you" The ghost-faced man looked at him steadily, and after a long time, he snorted coldly: "Let's start." The notary repeated the cards, and this time Chu Xiu got a five and a six. But he didn't take the cards immediately. Instead, he put them down and stared at the ghost-faced man: "This time it's your turn to go first." The ghost-faced man snorted disdainfully: "You lose anyway." As he said that, he picked up a card and was about to put it in his hand when Chu Xiu's cold voice rang out: "Wait." "What's wrong?" The ghost-faced man paused. Chu Xiu's mouth curled up a faint smile. "You are cheating." He said word by word.
