Intergalactic Era of Gossip

Chapter 69: [Too little drinking capacity] Gambling is often accompanied by games

Views:

He became interested in "the amusement city chosen by Sells".

The corridor is not long, and when you turn a corner, you can see the giant double doors at the end. The doors are carved with intricate patterns, vaguely resembling the style of the ancient times.

The two waiters standing by gave them a polite smile.

"Welcome to Carnival City."

While speaking, the door has been opened.

"boom-"

In an instant, mixed voices penetrated into the eardrums like a flood. Cheers, screams, shouts... mixed into a loud noise that surrounded the two of them. If Sells hadn't led him here, he would have suspected that there was an illegal assembly here.

Entering a building similar to a circular stadium, you will come to the high auditorium through the gate. The auditorium was full of men and women, each wearing a mask of a different shape, their eyes converging on the center of the venue, and yelling out of tune words.

Naren: "..." It seems that there are not many people with emoticons. So is he really unlucky? !

He looked down and vaguely saw a dense... woods

"Ah, he escaped!"

"Osavi is too cunning, but the bow spear is best at teaching tricksters!"

"Trickster? His points are already in the top ten. It's not just tricks."

"..."

Nalen listened curiously, guessing that what they were discussing should be the game.

He took a few steps forward and saw clearly the huge holographic three-dimensional screen under his feet—in the ancient primitive jungle, two men in hunting suits were fighting.

Sells grabbed Nalen's head, which was looking around, and said in a low voice, "Come with me."

Nalen: "Okay." But please stop touching his head. Thanks.

After entering the box, the surroundings instantly became quiet. Nalen took a look. The building materials of this room have excellent sound insulation. There is only a row of double-seater sofas inside the box, which are soft and comfortable to lean on.

Sells unbuttoned a few shirt buttons and handed him a drink from the side table.

After taking it, Nalen took a sip, his green eyes flickered, and he was obviously satisfied with the taste. He looked forward and found that he was just able to watch the game just now without looking down.

"What's this?"

Sells said: "The last final before the end of the holiday. There are many competition systems here. In addition to the daily competition system with daily opening and settlement, there is also a seven-day cumulative point system."

He pointed to the front screen: "This is the final of the ten players with the highest accumulated points, and it is also the highlight of the amusement park."

Naren said: "I really didn't expect you to bring me to this kind of place."

To be honest, he quite likes it.

Not only can the contestants have an almost real holographic experience, but the spectators can also see a "real" game through the stereo screen.

Nalen asked again: "The group of people just now seemed to be holding different number plates in their hands?"

Sells was ready to explain.

"Ah, I see." Naren replied quickly: "Accompanied by games, there are often bets."

Sells stopped and nodded in agreement.

Nalen noticed a booklet on the side table with sharp eyes. He opened it and found that it was the introduction of ten contestants.

"This man." He pointed to Osavi, "It's really lucky."

Sells leaned over, glanced at it and said, "It shouldn't be just luck."

The tenth-ranked player with the weakest physique seems to have reached his peak in the finals. His fighting level is the worst among the ten, but his sensitivity is extremely high, and he likes to make some verbal attacks and provocations before and after the fight.

On the contrary, the bow and spear he was fighting against was ranked fourth in points, and his fighting ability was extremely outstanding. Moreover, he did not sign up for the competition on the first day, but entered the competition halfway three days ago. In just a few days, the cumulative The points have surpassed a large number of people. He is even more anticipated than the No. 1 Stanley University bully, and he is the most popular favorite to win the championship in this period.

Naren said: "Shall we play a game too?" Putting down the booklet, he picked up his drink again and took a few sips.

Sells naturally agreed: "Okay."

Then reminded: "This is fruit wine, the alcohol content is very low, and the taste is closer to fruit juice."

liquor

Naren, who is not very good at drinking, thought about it and put down the glass in his hand.

Betting is actually very simple. There is a button on the side of the armrest. When it is lit, a screen will appear in front of you, and you can directly swipe your personal terminal to make payment.

Sells reminded: "There are big and small bets here. One is to settle with everyone uniformly, and the other is as a way of...friends."

Naren said, "That's the second type."

He is not a gambler, what is there to gamble with a group of strangers? For him, it's more interesting to win Sells.

Sayers proposed: "Whoever loses... drinks?"

Naren looked over coldly.

Sells looked at each other innocently: "Actually, my alcohol capacity is also very bad. I drank about this small sip once." He gestured with two fingers, "In the end, Andrew and the others carried me back."

This is not a lie, in fact, the sip he drank was mixed with at least three kinds of high-strength alcohol, which was very easy to get drunk.

Naren's gaze was still somewhat suspicious.

But the amount of alcohol varies from person to person. Even for a powerful figure like Sells, who can say that he must have a good amount of alcohol

"Who do you think will win?" Sells asked, "You can bet first in the first game."

Naren's last bit of hesitation disappeared.

Osavi vs. Bow and Spear, who has a better chance of winning? This is a bonus question.

He chose the bow and spear.

Sells didn't have any ideas, and then bet on Osavi.

The two were finally able to concentrate on watching the game. At first, Naren secretly hoped that the bow and spear would win the game, but in the later stage, he was completely addicted to the game scene.

Holographic technology is very common in the interstellar era, and it is not the first time that Nalen has been exposed to this kind of virtual panorama. What surprised him was the grandeur and detail of the scene.

The dense vegetation, primitive landforms, small animals hiding in the dark with frightened faces... and the traces and changes of the players after passing through, all of these feel real and abnormal just as a bystander, let alone a participant.

Sells said: "Asha doesn't allow extremely realistic holographic games, lest people confuse reality with illusion, but here... as an event competition that only lasts for seven days, there is not much restriction on the degree of reality."

Nalen also had a lush past of being addicted to games when he was young, and couldn't help but said: "If this kind of scene is opened as a certain attraction, it will be very popular."

Sells suddenly picked up the wine glass, "I think it's time to drink."

On the court, Gonglance caught Osavi who kept running around and won the victory with a heavy punch. The screen showed that 10% of Osavi's points had flowed into the name of Gongmao.

In the first bet between Seles and Nalen, the prince who had the priority to bet won the expected victory.

Adhering to the fine tradition of "friendly communication" with the opponent at the end of the battle, Ossevi gave some blessings: "I hope that 10% of me will not be lost to others too soon."

His mask is a fox, which seems to match his fighting style very well.

The bow spear's mask was a ferocious brown bear, who didn't respond to the provocation at all, and turned to look for other contestants.

Osavi: "..."

His image disappears from the screen, and the loser will be out of the game for ten minutes. Ten minutes later, continue to enter the arena until evening. When the time is up, the final points ranking will be announced, and the winner will be born.

As soon as the screen changed, the contestants on the screen became other people. The scene has also changed, as deep and beautiful as ever, mostly natural scenery without artificial traces, the light effects emitted by the characters when they compete occasionally flash, and the fighting scenes are also ornamental.

At the same time, the differences between the players are getting smaller and smaller... which also leads to the fact that Naren can only rely on intuition when betting.

Things like intuition are often linked to luck.

The unlucky His Royal Highness, in fact, shouldn't play this kind of game that relies on luck.

After a long time, after drinking three glasses of wine, Nalen waved his hands and said with his tongue out, "No, no."

His consciousness is still there, but his body is lazy, and the speed of his brain is a few beats slower than usual. Under vigilance, he stopped this behavior in due course.

The marshal, who lost several times and drank many glasses of wine, was still very sober.

Naren's eyes were full of accusations of being deceived.

Sells said softly: "Okay, I'm done drinking... Do you need a rest?"

He actually didn't expect Nalen to drink so lightly, after all, the alcohol content of fruit wine is very low... Although he really wanted to see someone drunk, but he didn't want to really get them drunk.

A drunk with flushed cheeks under the mask narrowed his eyes and commented: "The fruit wine here tastes very good, and it would be more perfect if there is no alcohol."

Sells: "... Naren?"

Naren has completely closed his eyes. Although he can't see his expression clearly through the mask, his red ears have revealed his state of drunkenness. Even if consciousness is still there, it may not be good.

Sells sighed, and resignedly ordered a hangover soup.

Just when he thought Naren had fallen asleep, the other party spoke.

"Go sign up."

Sells: "... what?"

Nalen turned his head: "Didn't you say that you can compete in pairs? We will go too."

Seeing that he didn't respond, he urged again: "I'm going to have a scene with a river."

Sells: "River?"

Nalen said seriously, "I need cold water to wake me up."

Sells: "…"

Reaching out to take off the devilish dog-head mask, he saw a flushed face as expected.

Are you really drunk

Nalen patted his hand away, turned his face to the side and said in disgust: "I just feel a little dizzy, but my consciousness is clear. It's time to let my body sleep."

When entering the holographic world, the body will be in a state of peaceful sleep. Many people will choose to play games while sleeping. Waking up is like having a lucid dream. Of course, the body will become extremely weak in the long run, after all, the brain also needs to rest.

Sells thought about it and agreed to the proposal.

Originally, there was this link in his plan. He has asked many people on the Internet, and he knows that the festival scene in the amusement city has a very high reputation among lovers.

That's right, whether it's a comfortable box, a clear view of the game, or delicious fruit wine, and even the holographic scene behind, they are all items in the luxury couple package launched during the Hunting Festival of the amusement city.

A change appeared on the screen in the center of the venue. Sells glanced at the time and found that the seven-day race was over, and the points settlement interface opened on the screen.

The winner is Bow and Spear, and Stanley University Ba, who ranked first before the start, abdicated and became the second. Shockingly, Osavi squeezed into third place.

Next is the awarding session, the top three will have prizes and bonuses.

Sells wasn't very interested, and Nalen had already settled down, and his whole body smelled of alcohol.

Along with the holographic equipment, hangover soup was also delivered.

After drinking the hangover soup, Naryn quickly rushed into the holographic cabin. As the system prompt sounded, the scene in front of him changed. First, the long background music sounded, and then the continuous mountains and rivers appeared in front of us. Not far away is a small stream, lying on the ground like blue silk.

There is no cloud in the sky, and the birds and beasts sing.

The body dominated by alcohol swept away the exhaustion, and Naren felt that he came alive instantly.

He looked around, but he didn't see Sells.

Didn't you say that two people signed up for the competition? Why didn't the two come in together.

This question was quickly answered.

He felt his calf being rubbed.

Lowering his head, he saw a golden chow chow.

"Where is the fat dog?"

He withdrew his gaze and was about to continue walking when he felt his calf being rubbed again.

Naren: "..."

Crouching down, he stretched out his hand and touched the furry head of the Chow Chow.

"It's very real, and it feels good to the touch."

"it's me."

Naren: "Can talk? Looks pretty..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

His gray-green eyes slowly opened wide. He cupped the dog's face and approached it carefully for a long time before asking tentatively.

"Sels?"

The Chow Chow nodded expressionlessly.

This time it was Naren's turn to be silent.

The Chow Chow sat on the spot, quietly accompanying him.

Nalen patted the dog's head seriously, then pulled the wooden dog's face again. After a few seconds, he couldn't hold back his smile anymore.

The God of War in the army of the Asha Empire, the wise and mighty Marshal Seers, turned into a dog

"Although the effect is somewhat unexpected, there is a time limit for this state." Sairs said coldly, "It will probably be your turn after a while."

The laughter stopped, Naren frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

He actually saw some kind of evil intentions on the fluffy dog's face
