Chapter 400: Chapter 385: Cheating in the Casino, Instant Fortune!?
Translator: 549690339
Lincoln couldn’t wait to watch the excitement.
Unfortunately, his action speed exceeded the netizens by a lot this time.
According to Mavis’s observation, the group of players planning to storm the Continental Hotel haven’t even come up with a plan yet.
It took them all morning just to create a group chat, which Mavis joined to continue observing silently.
Anyway, it seems like there won’t be any excitement for a while.
“It’s pretty much the same at the casino!” Mavis gave Lincoln only bad news: “Mavis is also in the group, but they haven’t found all the surveillance cameras at the casino yet!”
“They need to hurry up then.” Lincoln was quite interested in their action.
Although managers, croupiers, waiters, inspectors, security staff, and even the companion gamblers were all part of the casino, it seemed difficult to cheat.
However, for the sake of realism, Lincoln didn’t directly cheat. Each NPC’s behavior pattern and field of vision were limited.
This provided an opportunity for the players to cheat at the game.
And the fun was born in this scheming and intrigue.
After watching the live streaming for a while, Lincoln found there wasn’t much interesting content, probably because it was an unpopular time for live streaming. So, he reluctantly went to practice boxing.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to ask Mavis to remind him as soon as something exciting happened.
On the other side, Camille Victoria and Super Tomato were busy gathering information.
Experts were even conducting simple modeling on-site, marking camera positions and importing the movement trajectories of casino staff, and visualizing the collected intelligence.
The gathering and processing of information, along with coordination within the team, consumed a lot of time.
Finally, they smoothly completed all tasks before the scheduled time.
Shuihua rushed back to the bedroom after quickly finishing dinner, logging into the virtual world.
Then, she accepted the invitation and headed straight to Camille Victoria’s spacious virtual house.
As it was Camille Victoria’s team this time, although Super Tomato also mobilized fans to collect information, he didn’t bring anyone with him, so he came alone to participate in the action.
After Shuihua arrived, the 10-member group was finally in place.
So the live streaming began!
“Master, the casino action is starting~” Mavis shouted out loud.
In order to complete his training plan as soon as possible and collect the most realistic sensory data, plus having nothing interesting to watch all afternoon, Lincoln continued to practice boxing.
By the time he got home in the evening, he felt exhausted and decided to take a bath in a pool of hot water.
Unexpectedly, Mavis started calling him from outside the bathroom door to watch the live streaming just when he had settled into the tub.
“What a coincidence!” Lincoln was speechless.
He seriously considered whether to bring a tablet into the bathroom to watch the live streaming while taking a bath.
But on second thought, he felt it was a bit unreasonable to leave the empathetic Mavis outside. In the end, he opted for a compromise-
He wrapped himself in a bath towel, stepped into the bathroom to put on his headband, and then returned to lie down in his luxurious temperature-controlled bathtub.
Then he closed his eyes: “Alright, Mavis, pull me in.”
“Plop!”
–It wasn’t the familiar little sofa.
Lincoln felt himself suddenly plunging into a pool of warm water.
This strange feeling made him aware that although he was already in warm water, he still felt like he’d fallen into it.
The next moment, two little hands grabbed his head and pushed him out of the water.
Lincoln wiped his face and finally opened his eyes to see his surroundings.
“Ah, isn’t this the Huayin Bubble Bath Shop?” Lincoln felt somewhat awkward seeing where he was.
But Mavis, wearing a pink children’s swimsuit behind him, showed no such emotion. Instead, she happily said, “This is the most comfortable place to bathe in the whole Night City!”
“Really?” Lincoln leaned back against the edge of the pool and lay down comfortably again.
“Yes! Players’ actions in the game and their comments online all give this place the highest praise for bathing! There’s nothing like it!”
“Oh, this…” Lincoln was speechless.
While he believed that this place deserved the highest praise, the key reason for it might not be the bathing environment…
And the part with the highest praise, he obviously couldn’t experience…
After giving it some thought, he decided to skip the subject: “Let’s not talk about that, bring up the live streaming screen!”
“Okay!” Mavis swam around in the small pool, apparently not very good at swimming.
Busy as she was, she waved her hand in the air, and a large live streaming screen appeared above the pool.
Lincoln, wearing only his swimming trunks and lying by the pool, looked up at the screen where a group of people seriously discussed their action plan, feeling very strange.
It was as if an invisible person was acting in a crowd, and although he knew he wouldn’t be seen, Lincoln still felt that his privacy was being severely threatened…
He quickly reached out to operate the panel, shrinking the screen and pulling it closer, which made him feel somewhat better.
Mavis noticed she couldn’t see the screen, so she swam back over, lay down beside Lincoln, and grabbed his arm.
Her soaking wet pink head squeezed over and watched the live streaming with him.
In the screen, the 10-member team finally agreed on the action plan and started their operation.
Camille Victoria was the first to log into Night City. Since she had logged out in a hotel room above the casino, she invited team members to enter, and they all appeared directly at the Paradise Hotel.
