The first person Ning Buwen was looking for was the boss of the casino in the city of Sasim.
cough.
If you want to build connections, you must start from the areas you are familiar with.
Having said that, since the residents of the city of Sasim are not decent people, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are naturally the most popular lifestyles here.
So it is actually quite easy to find the boss of this casino. If you ask around, everyone will only say one name, not even a competitor.
"Viscount, nationality unknown, real name unknown, age unknown. He owns seven of the ten casinos in Sasim City. It is said that he has a professional mercenary group around him and has close ties with certain celebrity financial groups. Has he really been granted a title by the queen of country X?" Ning Buwen looked at this thin page of information with an unpleasant expression.
"Sir, his information is really not available." Mike sighed. "People of this level must have erased all their information. Our level is so high that we can't find any information even if we hack into the database."
The dark side of this city is deeper than they thought.
They knew there were so many criminals in the city, but they could only catch 20 of them. They knew the rest were big fish, but they couldn't catch them. It was not a good feeling. But when you think about it, there are some capitalists in China who can get away with it with their powerful lawyers, so it's just a balance.
"Okay, you've worked hard." Ning Buwen knew that he was making things difficult for others, "You should go home and have a good rest first, I'll take care of the rest myself."
"Sir, although catching criminals is important, you shouldn't take too many risks." Mike still advised, "Officer Rita suffered heavy casualties. Officer Rita herself is still in the hospital. The other side directly used rockets and artillery, and the whole office was almost blown away. Several other outstanding police officers from other countries were also seriously injured and will be sent out for treatment tomorrow."
This actually means that these players will probably lose their qualifications directly.
"Don't worry." Ning Buwen smiled, "By the way, do you know which hospital they are in?"
"There's only one hospital here." Mike answered without hesitation, "Sir, why are you asking about the hospital all of a sudden?"
"We are all in the same industry, and one of my colleagues is seriously injured, so I have to go and see him." Ning Bu Wen said with a smile.
It would be a waste if we don’t extort something from such a good opportunity.
Before going to meet the Viscount, Ning Buwen decided to go and meet the injured players first.
He never has too many prop cards.
Ning Buwen still had a group healing card in his hand, and it would be a bit of a waste to use it only for himself, and he also bought a single healing card, which was enough. However, these injured players were all gathered together, which made it easier to deal with.
Judging from their injuries, they are probably not serious. If they had treatment cards, they would have used them long ago. Why are they still lying in the hospital and almost losing their qualifications
I heard that in the Noah Legion and the Freedom Legion, their healing cards are hard currency. Unlike their legion, item cards can be freely exchanged, but this is not the case in the other two legions.
The healing cards were monopolized, and some healing cards with good effects were forcefully bought together in order to control these disobedient players.
This is also due to different national conditions.
Compared to the "collectivism" of the Pangu Legion, the Noah Legion and the Freedom Legion are more concerned with "individual heroism". Therefore, in order to make these "heroes" obey, the necessary prop card such as the treatment card has become an excellent means to control them.
Hey, it’s also a good time to make a fortune.
After all, only in this special copy is there an opportunity to exchange item cards across legions.
How can adding icing on the cake be better than sending charcoal in the snow
If it were someone else, they would naturally wish there were as few players as possible, so that they would have fewer competitors. If it were any other copy, Ning Buwen would probably do the same.
But in this copy, we can't follow the usual routine.
There is only one hospital in the entire city of Sasim. No, to be precise, it can only be considered a clinic.
After all, it’s a bit unfair to call a place of this size a hospital.
The doctor in this clinic is considered a top figure in Sasim. After all, there is only one doctor and no one wants to offend him.
When Ning Buwen went there, he saw seven or eight stretchers in a small ward, all of which were filled with foreign players.
Those who are missing limbs are still relatively safe, but the more serious ones are those who have almost lost half of their body. The only way they can survive is because the players have more or less strengthened their bodies.
For such a serious injury, a lower-level healing card would be useless.
Fortunately, the group treatment card in his hand was of level A.
Ning Buwen came to the clinic wearing a police uniform, which naturally attracted attention.
In addition to these players who were also police officers, there were also local residents in the clinic. When these local residents saw Ning Buyun walk in so arrogantly, their eyes were not very friendly, and they obviously regarded Ning Buyun as some kind of monster.
The doctor in the clinic originally wanted to symbolically block Ning Buwen out of a little bit of medical ethics, but Ning Buwen was very generous and casually gave him several pieces of gold, so the doctor no longer obstructed him.
As long as no one dies, it's fine.
Ning Buwen's actions were obviously very eye-catching. As for these players who were already seriously injured, their faces became even uglier after seeing him.
Suddenly meeting another player on the eve of being eliminated, could it be that the other party is here to wipe out the whole team
The players lying here can only use ordinary or intermediate healing cards to heal themselves and barely avoid death. Even if there are slightly better ones, they can't fight Ning Buwen with all their strength.
Although we are all from Earth, there are all kinds of perverts in Pandora, and we must be on guard.
"You all look a little miserable." Ning Bu Wen moved a stool and sat down, looking at them with a smile.
"Which regiment are you from?"
"We are about to be eliminated. If you want to kill us, we can die together."
"Friends, you should always leave some room for improvement when doing things and being a human being."
…
What these players said was not wrong. If they really wanted to risk their lives, they would definitely have some hidden cards. However, sometimes, some rare prop cards could not be obtained even after several copies, so they would save as much as possible.
Welfare benefits generally won't result in death.
With this idea in mind, some players are naturally unwilling to play all their cards in this copy.
This also gave Ning Buwen an opportunity to take advantage of.
Ning Buwen took a look and found that the female police officer named Rita was not there.
That’s right, the opponents are already high-level werewolves, and they definitely have no shortage of high-level healing cards. The only ones who will lie here waiting to be eliminated are those guys who are neither good nor bad.
"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us." Ning Buwen smiled, revealing his white teeth. "I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to save you."
Ning Buwen said this, and the players on the stretchers were stunned for a moment.
Anyone who can appear in this kind of copy is not a fool, and naturally knows that there is no free lunch in the world.
"What do you want?" A player who was missing his left leg looked at Ning Buwen and asked.
"Well, it should be what you have?" Ning Bucheng held up his chin with one hand, "I have a high-level collective treatment card that can make you whole again. I don't want the best treasure in your hands, but it's not easy for you to come for welfare. Are you really willing to give up like this?"
No matter how poor I am now, I will never miss any opportunity to make a fortune.
There was nothing he could do. He entered Pandora later than others and had not experienced many dungeons. If he had not been able to get a B grade or above every time he settled the evaluation, Ning Buwen would not have many cards to use now.
"... What do you want?" Finally one of the players spoke.
Ning Buwen said it well.
It is not easy for them to get such a benefit, so if they can not give up, they naturally cannot give up.
"This is an A-level healing card, so I'm not greedy. Just give me an A-level item card and two B-level cards each." Ning Bu Wen replied.
Isn’t this greedy?!
If these players on the stretcher could kill with their eyes, Ning Buwen would probably have been cut into pieces by now.
"You want to exchange one card for so many?" A player sneered, "There are seven of us here!"
If a group A-level healing card could be exchanged for seven A-level item cards and fourteen B-level item cards at once, this deal would be a dream!
"Although this is only an A-level card, you don't have any at all." Ning Buwen blinked and said, "You should think about it carefully. I don't have any specific types of prop cards for you. As long as the level is reached, it's fine. You always have some things that are high-level but not very useful. It's just right to exchange them with me. If you can stay, even if you don't catch the criminals, the benefits you get later will definitely exceed the value of an A-level card and two B-level cards, right?"
If Ning Buwen had exchanged it in the legion, it would be considered good if he could get three A-level cards in exchange for such a group healing card. This time, he was just taking advantage of the situation.
But what does that matter
The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.
"I'll give you five minutes, you have to think about it carefully." Ning Buwen smiled, "Otherwise you will be eliminated at dawn. It would be too unfair to be eliminated after you've come here."
After saying that, Ning Buwen just sat obediently on the stool and didn't say anything, leaving the time for them to think about it on their own.
Know when to collect and when to let go, Ning Buwen has a top-notch grasp of this mentality.
Sure enough, within five minutes, these players had already figured it out.
Although Ning Buwen wanted a lot of things, they could afford it if they gritted their teeth.
Just as Ning Buwen said, they always have some duplicate or useless prop cards in their hands, and it is just right to give them to Ning Buwen at this time.
"We can give it to you, but how do we know you will keep your promise?" one player expressed his final concern.
Having said this, it is obvious that they are really moved.
However, this is indeed an important factor that players are worried about. If there are not enough constraints, things like going back on one's word may happen from time to time.
"Don't worry." Ning Buwen smiled, "I'll find a witness, just wait a moment."
witness
The players were a little stunned.
After a while, Ning Buwen was seen coming with the doctor from the clinic.
"Doctor, I want to exchange something with them. Since they don't believe me, why don't you be a witness for me. If I don't keep my promise, you can just kill me." Ning Bu Wen said this calmly, causing the players and the doctor to look at him in surprise.
The players in the clinic could all sense that the doctor was no ordinary person, so when they saw Ning Buwen pulling such an NPC over, no one reacted.
In some more advanced dungeons there will be NPCs with autonomous consciousness. This is actually something that players have long recognized. Generally, legions will also warn their members that if they can increase the favorability of NPCs when clearing levels, it will be beneficial with no harm.
But at the same time, if you anger the NPC in some way, it may lead to destruction. How to grasp the degree depends on the player's own choice.
But even if players more or less have the idea of improving their favorability, most people still can't do something like Ning Buwen, who casually pulled NPCs over to be witnesses.
Who knows what the NPCs will think? Besides, this action has nothing to do with clearing the level!
Why do something that has nothing to do with you
But the doctor seemed to accept Ning Buwen's action well. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Ning Buwen looked at the players with a smile, "Now you can finally trust me, right?"
What's so hard to believe about this
The players on the stretchers took out their prop cards one after another, no longer having any concerns.
I would rather collect the cards one by one without asking.
Well, this is good for attacking.
This is also good for defense.
Oh, this is actually poison, and it attacks indiscriminately? Interesting, interesting.
…
Ning Bu Wen reaped a lot of rewards, and the originally somewhat shriveled prop card pack instantly became full.
As expected, if this person wants to get rich, he can't just rely on that fixed salary.
Ning Buwen put away the prop cards one by one, took out his group treatment card, and said, "Treatment."
As soon as he finished speaking, this group healing card covered all the seriously injured players on the field.
"It will take about ten minutes. I will stay with you until you recover so that you won't be disturbed." Ning Bu Wen still cares about after-sales service.
After all, these are big customers.
It felt good to be in this healing space, and these players could also feel that the healing card Ning Buwen used was really of a high level. Even if they were all A-level cards, the probability of their appearance was different, and healing cards, especially high-level healing cards, had a very low probability of appearing.
"What's your name?" The first player to be cured walked out of the stretcher unharmed.
"Ning Buwen, I'm from a subsidiary army under the Pangu Army." Ning Buwen didn't care that his name was known to them. "If we have the chance to meet again in the future, please consider me first if you have any prop cards."
"Okay, I'll remember that." The player looked at Ning Buyen for a long time, then walked away as if nothing had happened.
Then, the second and third...
Once everyone is cured, there will be no need for them to stay here any longer.
"Then I'll leave too. Thank you for your testimony, doctor." Ning Bu Wen stood up and smiled at the doctor.
"You're very interesting." The doctor looked at Ning Buwen and said, "Perhaps, you will be the police officer who laughs last in this city."
"Thank you for your compliment, doctor." Ning Buwen was not in a hurry to leave the clinic. "If you think I have some ability, could you please introduce me to someone else? I want to meet the Viscount and negotiate a deal with him."
"Why should I help you?"
"Because if the deal between me and Mr. Viscount is completed, I can guarantee that your clinic will be crowded every day, and you can name any fee for treatment." Ning Buwen smiled brightly, "This is just a piece of cake for you."
The doctor looked at Ning Buwen steadily, then nodded, "Okay."
"Thank you so much." Ning Buwen's smile became much more sincere. "I was just wondering how I could meet Mr. Viscount?"
"What are you going to do if I don't write you a letter of recommendation?" the doctor asked curiously.
"Well, I will probably go to every casino owned by Mr. Viscount." Ning Wen answered without hesitation, "I will keep winning in his casinos until he meets me."
"That seems like a good idea." The doctor smiled. "Take my letter of recommendation and go to a casino. If you win a few times, he will come out. But I didn't give you this letter of recommendation for nothing."
"oh?"
"If you go to his casino and win 10 million, you have to give me all the winnings," the doctor replied.
"Fifty-fifty," Ning Buwen thought for a moment and said, "If I win less than 10 million, I'll give it all to you. If I win more than 10 million, we'll split it 50-50."
The doctor probably didn't expect Ning Buwen to have the courage to bargain.
"OK."
Ning Buwen successfully got the letter of recommendation.
To be honest, there was nothing wrong with agreeing to the doctor just now, but when the words were on the tip of my tongue, Ning Buwen changed his words.
The money in this city is indeed of no use to Ning Buwen, but the doctor wants it.
What an NPC wants cannot be useless.
Since it is useful, it is a good thing to keep some money on you.
Ning Buwen figured out this principle and naturally would not be foolish enough to give all the money to the doctor.
"Thank you, doctor." Ning Buwen thanked him and walked towards the nearest casino with the letter of introduction.
Not long after, another player came to the clinic.
"Shouldn't these players have been sent away yet? Why are they gone now?"
"You're late." A nurse at the clinic said when she saw the player coming in, "A policeman has cured all the other patients."
"Are we a step too late?" The player's face changed slightly and he thought more.
It seems that there are people in this city who have the same idea as him, so it is necessary to win over their hearts.
Ning Bu Wen had no idea that there was another player who was upset about being cut off by him, and he was now planning to go to the casino.
In fact, Ning Buwen has quit gambling for a long time.
Gambling is addictive, and once you're addicted, it's hard to quit, especially for someone like Ning Buwen who grew up in a city with a strong casino atmosphere.
But fortunately, after the end of the world, it is not that difficult to quit smoking.
If people cannot control their gambling nature, they will basically not be able to make money.
Ning Buwen prepared himself mentally before entering the casino. Although it is unlikely that he will get addicted, he still needs to reflect on himself from time to time.
The casino in Sasim City doesn't seem to be much different from the casinos outside.
Just by looking at the decoration inside, Ning Buwen almost thought he had come to the world before the end of the world. But after seeing the demeanor of the people in the casino, Ning Buwen knew there was a difference between the two.
The people in this casino gamble even more unscrupulously.
The stakes here are not just money, some are guns, some are gems, and some are the gamblers themselves.
In this city where there are few laws and regulations, the greed in human nature will be maximized.
Ning Bu Wen used a small piece of gold to exchange for two chips, walked casually to a gambling table, first observed the actions of the dealers, and then placed his chips in a certain position.
Well, the level of the dealers here is pretty good. In the casinos before the end of the world, they can be called big players.
However, compared to him, it's still a little lacking.
Ning Buwen seemed to know how to play this game naturally, and the goddess of luck was always on his side.
In less than a moment, the few chips in Ning Buwen's hand turned into a pile.
Next up is playing cards.
Ning Buwen went around the card tables twice and doubled his chips.
Then came dice, slot machines, mahjong, blackjack…
Ning Buwen won more and more money, and more and more customers turned their attention to him.
This person has won too much. He loses less and wins more. Occasionally, when he is unlucky, he can win back some of the chips he lost with interest in the next hand.
Master!
This thought flashed through the dealers' minds, and they immediately asked their colleagues to call some foremen in their casino over.
Most casinos will enshrine some casino tycoons.
Ning Buwen sat at the gambling table, and almost all the gamblers around him were staring at him.
"Boy, you are an outsider."
"Do the police come to gamble too?"
"Our state doesn't forbid me from playing a few games outside of work hours." Ning Buwen smiled, "Even a dog can come in and play a few games as long as he has money."
"That's right, guest." The dealer responded with a smile, "You are awesome. Our foreman will play with you next."
"It doesn't matter." Ning Buwen shrugged, "How much are these chips of mine worth?"
"About 160 million, sir," said the dealer after counting the money.
"If I want to catch Bruno, how much will it cost?" Ning Buwen suddenly asked, "Is there anyone here willing to take my order?"
"Bruno is worth 80 million!"
"Only 80 million?" Ning Buwen laughed, "Then I'll just win a little more in the casino."
The author has something to say: Sasim's setting is similar to the framework of his old work "Heaven and Earth Are Useless". I am a policeman in a state in the United States where racial discrimination is serious, not in our country. If there is any problem, it is also a foreign fault. Well, feel my desire to survive!
A player: Someone actually won over the people in advance
Sick players: It’s not me, I didn’t do that, don’t talk nonsense.
Ning Bu Wen: I am really a good socialist young man. I would not do this if it was not for passing the test. I just want to make a little money.
