Chapter 174 Gambling

 “What kind of devotional rituals need to be performed?”

 When Yi Chen asked this question, it was considered an indirect expression of his attitude.

The Duke shook his index finger, which was about the size of a normal human thigh, and explained:

"I just mentioned it casually. After all, other guys will perform some kind of ceremony before signing the oath. The skin you are wearing should have gone through the corresponding ceremony when accepting it, right?"

When the Duke mentioned this, Yi Chen immediately remembered the ceremony at Shenpi's mansion.

 It is to rely on the "gentleman's skin" as a medium to establish a systematic connection with the old world through rituals, select appropriate letters and determine occupations.

"Yes, I have been to the Old Hall through "Gentleman's Skin". "

“Gentleman’s skin? Haha~ Skin is skin, but it must be given a name that is close to human beings.

However, there is indeed something worth learning from Youshu Leather Factory. The skins they make can be directly transmitted to your human world through some [channel], and it is also very suitable for the human species.

  Relevant to the old world with little negative consequences,

 As long as the "skin content" is not too high and exceeds the limit of individual control, you humans can still fully maintain yourself.

 As for me, there is no need for any complicated rituals here.

As long as you are ready, take off your clothes and I will brand you directly...it will not hurt or leave any marks. The "Mark of the Deal" only exists in your souls. "

"good."

 At the request of the Duke,

Yi Chen and Lorian took off their shirts one after another, and the Duke naturally noticed Yi Chen's black-haired right body temporarily constructed from small grapes.

 “Does your little friend need to be branded too?”

As soon as Yi Chen asked Little Putao for his opinion, the black hairy area on his back immediately opened his mouth and gave him a sincere look.

 “Sorry for the trouble, Your Majesty the Duke.”

When Little Putao said these words, all the black hair on its body pointed at the Duke, as if it would immediately follow the Duke if there was no master like Yi Chen.

 “Turn your back to me.”

 Hiss~A wisp of smoke rises from the back.

 There was no physical pain as expected, but a light touch on the soul level.

 The unique mark of the scales is placed on the soul.

At this moment, both Yi Chen and Yuehen could feel the vague connection with the old businessman Duke Gallison. As the other party said, this trading oath has no form of restrictions.

but,

The Duke's expression was a little strange. The fat on his face was bunched up, and then he showed a more excited expression, and his whole face started to twitch.

 He seemed to feel something new and strange that he had never seen before from the process of branding.

“Okay, now you are my ‘quality customers’, shall we continue our transaction?”

Yi Chen also immediately asked: "Duke, I would like to ask about [gambling] first? If I want to gamble, what is the specific process?"

“It’s very simple. First, you need to determine the [multiplier] of gambling. I will temporarily create a gambling game and set the rules based on the multiplier.

As long as you can win the game under the premise of complying with the rules, or meet the fixed requirements in the game, you will win the bet.

  Otherwise, you will lose all the points you bet. "

 “What kind of game?”

 The Duke raised his index finger in front of his mouth:

“The content of the gambling game needs to be kept confidential in advance.

 Even if you determine the multiplier, I will make it randomly based on the difficulty corresponding to the multiplier.

  It may be the simplest bet, or it may be a complex maze game, or even a more comprehensive role-playing game... In short, you will only know when you enter the gambling game.

 In any case, the difficulty is based on the gambling multiplier, which should be called "fair" according to you humans.

 Even with a multiplier of 1:99, there is still a possibility of winning. Do you want to play? "

While Yi Chen was thinking about it, Yuehen on the side suddenly raised his hand and said: "I want to check the products related to [month] with prices between 500 and 1500."

According to his request, the Duke quickly found four items.

 The first one is a female-oriented moonlight robe, which can improve the wearer's floating ability and sells for 700 points.

 The second one is a jewelry ring inlaid with moonstone, which can provide monthly attribute increase and sells for 1500 points.

The third is a special moon staff, a relic of the ancient battlefield, once the exclusive weapon of a certain Starlight Sick Witch... Unfortunately, the end of the staff was seriously damaged in the battle, and the core structure was affected and cannot be driven. It can only be used as a decoration. The price is 1000 points.

 The fourth one is a pair of gloves filled with moonlight, which can increase the casting speed and double the effect of moonlight and starry sky spells.

 However, except for the third item that made Yuehen slightly interested, the rest were not attractive to him.

“Do you have any repair materials for this staff?”

"Yes...but even if we find the guy who is best at making staffs in the old world, the repair success rate will not exceed 30%. In addition, the repair materials will require at least 2,000 points. I personally feel that it is not necessary."

"Um."

Just when the Duke was picking up these products again, perhaps because of his large size, he accidentally knocked open the storage cabinet next to him while picking up the staff.

At this moment,

Lorian suddenly resonated with the moonlight for a moment, a burst of moonlight flashed between his eyes, and he raised his hand to point to the knocked open collection cabinet.

 “Are there any moon-related products in there?”

 “Here? Let me look for it...”

The Duke's little hand under his arm quickly reached into the storage cabinet, and after a search, he seemed to find something.

More armpit arms stretched out one after another, and finally a weapon box made of special stone was pulled out from the collection cabinet.

Ink-colored stone, you can even see the flow of ink marks on the surface, forming a special seal that even the moonlight cast by the moon marks cannot penetrate at all.

 The homologous induction from the moon comes from inside the box.

"You have good taste... This is one of the treasures in the store. The information needs to be kept completely confidential. I can only show you its name."

As the Duke turned the weapon box over, the name engraved on the bottom was revealed:

  【Moonlight Great Sword】

“I have spent a lot of effort to get this thing, and even got it slightly injured... Once it is leaked, there will be trouble.”

 “How many points are needed.”

“The original price is 15,000 points, and the discount is 12,000 points. My suggestion is to consider it in the future. Don’t think you can get so many points from me in one go today.”

 At this moment, I felt confused from the moment I was born.

Lorian, who has finally arrived in the old world but is still disappointed, seems to have found a lost road sign in life, as if he has found a new direction, and his crescent eyes have become dazzling.

Yue Hen took a step back for a moment and gestured for Yi Chen to step forward with a very elegant gentlemanly manner.

 “William, go ahead with your deal with the Duke.”

"good!"

Yi Chen has already made a decision, "I need the third [relic] that is blocked by information. The price after discount should be 1600 points, and the dead egg is sold for 500 points. Can the bet be customized directly according to the multiplier between them? ?”

“Yes, but bets that are three times more difficult are often more difficult. Are you sure you want to [gamble]? Once confirmed, I will start creating the bet, and various rules and systems will be formed immediately.

 At that time, you can no longer regret it. "

 Yi Chen has made up his mind,

I am afraid that it is only once in my life that I can meet the Duke on the surface of the old world. If I want to meet him in the future, I will have to go to the depths of the old world that are full of dangers, and it is only possible to meet him.

The possibility of searching for three-attribute relics on the surface is slim, otherwise Zion would have already had a precedent.

 As Teacher Zed said, since there is no precedent, it becomes the first... If you want to do this, you must take risks.

 Such an opportunity has come to you, you must seize it.

"I am sure."

“Click a little closer and the gambling game will be somewhat customized to you.”

 As Yi Chen approaches,

The Duke's fat palm gently landed on the top of his head. The soft fat layer covered his scalp and penetrated into it along the hair follicles.

 Acquisition of memory components in the brain, a unique gambling game is slowly being established...
