“Battle of Revenge! Let’s go!” Hao took the lead.
Paradise Casino.
Super Tomato and Camille Victoria, were still huddled over a small gambling table, still researching dice rolling.
Their path to becoming gambling kings hit a significant setback.
The [Palm Extreme Sports] skill was indeed effective, making dice rolling flashy and seemingly very cool.
The only problem was – that was all it did, made you look cool.
Wanting to become a gambling king based on looks was not enough… whether you’re handsome or not was just superficial; the ability to control the dice and roll the numbers you wanted was the truly important skill.
But the [Palm Extreme Sports] skill could only make you look cool…
Want to become a master of dice rolling? Sorry, you’ll have to learn special gambling arts for that.
Controlling the numbers, rolling whatever you want, never mind if such a skill exists in reality, even if it did, how would it be casually taught to you?
Super Tomato guessed with his shallow knowledge that the ability to control dice was either related to tampering with the dice or there being something wrong with the dice cup.
Of course, it isn’t wise to make assumptions about fields you don’t understand.
He planned to wait until he was offline, and then post a request seeking an introduction to someone knowledgeable in this area.
At the same time, learning about real-world gambling arts wouldn’t hurt.
Camille Victoria’s thoughts were completely different from Super Tomato’s: “Tomato, do you think we could cheat in the virtual world?”
“Huh?” Super Tomato was taken aback, “Shouldn’t… be able to, right? Isn’t this all a set up within the data world?”
“No.” Super Tomato immediately corrects himself as soon as the words left his mouth: “If it’s Cloud Dream, who knows! It’s worth testing!”
“Right! What gambling king doesn’t know how to cheat!” Camille Victoria nodded excitedly, but her face quickly turned gloomy: “The problem is, we don’t even know how to play normally, let alone cheat…”
“No problem, as long as we find someone who knows, we can easily pay the tuition and learn in the virtual world.”
Camille Victoria’s eyes lit up: “That’s right, we have the [Palm Extreme Sports] ability, which is invincible, and with many cheating methods, as long as we understand the principles, learning will surely be quick!”
Super Tomato looked around at the bustling atmosphere, “Sadly, it’s currently in closed beta, so we can’t have in-person instruction yet. After the beta ends, we’d have to wait several days.”
The metropolis didn’t have any casinos.
The two had a long discussion, and finally reached a consensus: “The future is bright, the road is clear, but at present, it’s completely useless.”
In the end, they gave up their struggle, planned to take their remaining chips, and lose them all.
– Two beginners couldn’t possibly reign supreme on their first trip to the casino. They were at least rational enough to understand that.

After a while, Hao had already led his teammates to where the conflict was most intense.
The five of them got out of the car, guns loaded, brimming with murderous intent.
Well, only Hao was brimming with murderous intent, the four teammates were at most enthusiastic.
However, when they arrived on the scene, they found that the gunfight had abruptly stopped, and the rowdy gangsters of Night City had quieted down.
On the ground, including the three players and over a dozen gangster NPCs, all had been shot dead and were currently disappearing in a flash of light.
– It’s worth mentioning that in the game world of “Speed Chase”, one job has been completely eliminated – the corpse cleaner.
In the movie, cleaning up a body required an assassin’s coin.
But in the game world, thanks to the “disappearing in light” clean-up mechanism, this job was completely obsolete.
The players also saved on that expense.
Seeing Hao and his team come out guns blazing, everyone on the opposite side immediately raised their guns!
Facing a dense wall of hundreds of barrel ends, Hao immediately threw down his gun and put his hands up.
The teammates also followed suit.
At this time, a path gradually opened in the middle of the crowd on the opposite side.
A man, with meticulously groomed golden hair, wearing a deep blue suit, and even a white handkerchief decorating his breast pocket, slowly emerged.
Just looking at his outfit, he exuded an “upper-class” atmosphere, completely different from the punk leather, eccentric clothing, and wildly styled hair of the street gangsters around him.
However, this man had a noticeable scar from the corner of his eye, extending below his cheekbone, adding a sense of ferocity to him.
Adding the gangsters, no, after this man appeared, these were no longer scattered gangsters, but an organized mob of armed men!
Under the mob’s presence, he silently stared at Hao and his team, the invisible aura immediately filling the scene.
Hao, seeing such a domineering entrance, swallowed nervously.
The well-dressed man with a scar finally asked, “Are you also here to participate in the race?”
“Huh?” Hao was stunned for a moment, but immediately responded, “Yes, of course! We are here to participate in the race!”
The boss looked at the car behind Hao and his team and said, “Your car might not quite cut it.”
Just when Hao was starting to get nervous again, the boss suddenly smiled amiably: “But that’s okay, participation shows support, which we welcome.”
He then looked left and right: “Everyone, disperse! Be ready, it’s almost time!”
Everyone immediately complied, starting to arrange the surroundings.
Several huge signs were erected. Once powered on, the words on them lit up –
“Brave Game – Indiscriminate Death Race!”
“Thirty thousand prize money for the single-round champion!”
“Break the record, win a million!”
– Clearly, this was also a way for players to make money.
After the crowd dispersed, they finally noticed the outrageous cars around –
Some with saws and blades, some with incomprehisible huge spray pipes, even a hedgehog-like car…
They were even more horrifying than the last, even more outrageous than the last!
“Is this… an underground car racing match?” Hao asked the players with him excitedly.
“Definitely!”
“No doubt about it!”
“What a discovery!”
“But we only have two cars, right? And these are decrepit cars we just stole, we can’t win, right?”
“Right, right, since we can’t possibly win, let me go! I don’t mind being dominated.”
“I’ll go!”
…

While Hao and his people were fighting over who would participate in the Death Race, outside a bar, Yi was beating up a taxi driver.
And as he punched and kicked, he also cursed:
“F*cking hell! Are you doing this on purpose?!”
“The last driver took me to a pretty boy shop, you f*cker took me to a gay bar!!”
“Do I look like a submissive to you?!”
“The f*cking taxi drivers of Night City, did you f*cking conspire to target me!! Huh?! ”
He was about to go crazy with anger!!!
