Neutral city of the Goblins, gambling city Las Vitas.
More than a week ago, during the time of the International Qualifier, the dual-race Vampire player Moon God Night received a quest from Duke Markal to destroy the Second Dwarf Prince's ship, the Flame Lord, on Fire Dragon Island. However, Fire Dragon Island was frozen for ten months and didn't have a Teleportation Circle. It couldn't be reached under normal circumstances.
Therefore, Moon Goddess Night thought of the Goblins' advanced technology, the hot air balloon! As long as the hot air balloon was tied to a medium-sized ship, a ship that could fly over the ice cap would be born. Then, there was another advanced technology of the Goblins, the Mine Bomb. With the bomb, it wouldn't be a problem to blow up the Flame Lord.
The only problem was that in order to obtain these two advanced technologies of the Gnome race, the Gnome Reputation and various Trust Points were required. (See Chapter 309, Moon Goddess Night's Fire Dragon Island Operation.)
Therefore, Moon Goddess Night had been an apprentice in Las Vitas, doing missions, accumulating Reputation, and gambling in the casino to earn some research funds. According to her plan, she would accumulate Reputation in ten days in the real world and reach Fire Dragon Island in two days. Then, she would spend at most two days doing missions to gain the trust of the Dwarves and complete the mission! It would take her half a month.
However, in the past two days, Moon Goddess Night felt that every time she woke up from a nap, the progress of the game world seemed to be pushed forward by one or two eras!
Yesterday, the players had entered Hell's God's Punishment City. Today, Dafei's huge ship appeared and went out to sea again! Dafei, it's that Dafei again!
Ever since Dafei killed a Demigod at sea, Moon Goddess Night started to pay attention to this Dafei. Then, she specially observed this Dafei's skills during the competition. Overall, his consciousness was normal, but his skills were average. With his skills, he was able to obtain victory after victory. Other than the snowball effect, it could only be attributed to his extremely good luck.
Now, where was this Dafei going? Was he going to Fire Dragon Island to transport goods? How was he going to break through the Frozen Period? Using the huge ship to break through the ice? Impossible!
While they were in shock, the player forums were shaken again. Dafei's footprints had appeared in the Red Name Village, which was known as a small country's warzone. The Angel Hero that Dafei had abducted had appeared! A large number of foreign players entered the Red Name Village with their red names.
Dafei! It was still Dafei! His shadow is everywhere?
As a former technician in the development of domestically-produced games and a technician who had indirectly participated in the development of the hero's core during his time at the University of Massachusetts, Moon God Night's realm of playing games had always been to see mountains as mountains and water as water, but a pile of data behind the scenes.
From a professional technician's point of view, Moon God Night could immediately come to the conclusion that there wouldn't be any major movements. As the Red Name Village was just a branch server of the Kingdom War Server, before the Kingdom War Server was officially opened, the Red Name Village wouldn't receive a large amount of resources from the system. It would eliminate the possibility of triggering a large-scale mission.
But does the appearance of this angel mean that Dafei has already begun to plan ahead?
At this moment, Moon God Night could no longer remain calm!
She believed that she was standing on the God's point of view, above the players and even the professional players. Her plan to obtain Gnome Reputation in ten days had already surpassed the technical level of the players. But now, it seemed that the times were changing too quickly, and she couldn't keep up.
What should I do now? Continue to work, complete missions, and accumulate enough Reputation in the remaining three days? By then, Dafei might have already reached Fire Dragon Island. It seemed like she had to take an unusual path.
In a place like the Gambling City, there was only one shortcut to take an unusual path, and that was to become famous through gambling! In other words, this was the real ordinary path in the Gambling City.
To become famous through gambling, she had to defeat the Dwarf Gambling God Buffett, who was currently in the limelight in the Gambling City. Moon God Night had gambled with this Buffett many times, but she had never won once.
The specialty of this Gambling God was that the number of his dice was usually not high. It would never give people a feeling that he was unattainable and undefeatable, and it would even make people feel that they would definitely win. But in the end, his opponent's dice were even lower than his! Hence, the loser was not satisfied, and he continued to fight until he lost everything.
In short, this Gambling God was practically cheating! If other gambling NPCs had a 20% winning rate, then the Gambling God would have a 0% winning rate. So, would the game specially adjust his winning rate to be undefeatable just for an NPC?
If it was a normal game, of course it wouldn't be a problem. The developers set up the game to be undefeatable, and everything was decided by the GM.
But a super intelligent system like Heroes of the Founding Era was completely different. The data parameters of any NPC and substance formed a complete set of "Natural Balance Laws", and any change in a substance parameter would cause "World Collapse". This was also the reason why once the game was officially released, no developer or GM could interfere with the game.
Yue Yue was certain that the developers of the game wouldn't risk the system crashing just for a random "God of Gamblers". After all, even the main gods in the game didn't have such treatment, let alone a mere gambling "God".
Then, the reason why the Gambling God was undefeatable basically eliminated the possibility of the system cheating. Although Moon God Night had seen through this long ago, the Gambling God wasn't an existence that he had to risk losing money to challenge, so he hadn't specifically targeted him. But now it was different. He had to take a shortcut and defeat the Gambling God.
Moon God Night started to implement an idea that he wasn't sure of. In short, if this method didn't work, then he could only work honestly.
Moon God Night once again went to the casino and found a scar-faced Kobold in a suit drinking in a gloomy corner of the casino's resting counter. This was a special gambler NPC, nicknamed the Evil Gambler. He didn't gamble by rolling dice, playing cards, or spinning the wheel. Instead, he asked others to bet on how many fingers he had on his left hand.
If you bet that he had five, he would immediately cut off one of them with a swing of his sword. How terrifying! Of course, once the cut off fingers were reattached, they would still heal. His regenerative abilities were also terrifying. Not only did he bet on fingers, but he could also bet on his eyeballs.
This was an NPC that wasn't limited to the card table and had an extremely high degree of freedom. He was a gambler that relied on his ability to control his own victory and defeat, and didn't rely on luck at all. And this NPC with an extremely high degree of freedom was the key to Moon God Night's victory. Now that Moon God Night's reputation in Tesvitas was quite high, he had the right to speak freely with him.
The Kobold said in a muffled voice, "What do you want to bet?"
Moon God Night smiled and said, "Bet on whether I can beat the Gambling God Buffett tonight. If you lose, you'll follow me and be my dog! I admire your ability! "
The Kobold laughed so hard that he spat out a mouthful of wine. "Human? He usually thinks he's smart. If it were me, I wouldn't bet anything with him. I accept! But if you lose, you'll have to pay me 10 million! "
Moon God Night smiled and said, "Very good. Then, I have a little game. Do you dare to bet?"
The Kobold sneered and said, "As long as it's not dice or poker, there's nothing I don't dare to bet on."
Moon Goddess Night smiled and said, "Buffett and I are going to have a lot of bets. I'll definitely lose to him at the beginning, so let's bet on the difference between me and him. If he wins by more than 5 points, you win, and if he wins by less than 5 points, I win. 100,000 gold coins per round. Do you dare to bet on it?"
The Kobold laughed and said, "Anyway, you're going to lose 10 million to me in the end, so I'll play this little game with you!"
Moon God Night smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go upstairs and challenge Buffett. You just need to leisurely smoke and drink at the table and record the wins and losses of each round."
"No problem!"
This was Moon God Night's strategy for challenging the Gambling God. Since the Gambling God wasn't invincible because he had cheats, then he definitely had a godly skill like Destiny. If it was a one-on-one battle, Moon God Night would definitely be crushed by his Destiny skill. She wouldn't have a chance at all. However, if Moon God Night were to gamble twice at the same time, then it would be hard to say.
An old gambler's joke went like this:
A gambler made a bet with his partner. "I bet 100 dollars that I can make that person take off his pants on the spot." "Bet!" Then, the gambler ran in front of the person. "I bet 50 dollars that you have scars on your thighs!" Then, the person took off his pants and won 50 dollars from the gambler. However, the gambler won 100 dollars from his partner and still earned 50 dollars.
Another popular joke went like this:
A man said to a beautiful woman, "Do you want a date? I guarantee two hours of high energy. If you don't finish within two hours, I'll lose 500 dollars! "Ten minutes later, the man surrendered. The beautiful woman was shocked and angry." What happened to two hours? "The man took out 500 dollars in satisfaction." I lose! "
To put it simply, this was Yue Shen Ye's train of thought for carrying out two bets at the same time. If she lost one bet, she would win the other bet. If she did it right, she would not only not lose, she would also be continuously winning.
The more she lost, the more she won. This indeed went against the Destiny skill. This was the key to breaking out of the game in Moon God Night's mind.
Of course, there was another key detail. The God of Gamblers, Buffett, usually defeated his opponents with a small advantage. He rarely won by 5 points. Then, if Moon God Night used this as a bet, she would definitely win the kobold.
Even though the kobold knew that this was inappropriate, he was certain that he would win 10 million in the first round, so he accepted it calmly. From this point, it could be seen that the Kobold Man also had the mentality of making two bets at the same time. He was indeed very intelligent. This was another reason why Moon God Night admired him.
Now, everything was ready. Moon God Night officially challenged the God of Gamblers of Las Vitas with 30 million gold coins! If she lost, Moon God Night would lose two bets at the same time. She would probably lose everything. Then, Makar's mission would be greatly delayed. If she won, Moon God Night would become the new God of Gamblers! Her reputation among the gnomes had reached its peak overnight! All kinds of advanced technology would no longer be a dream!
