The Whole Empire Raises Me

Chapter 45

"I think borrowing so much at a time, of course I have to pay it back, preferably with interest..." Wen Xingze really wanted to keep his mouth shut, but it was too late.

The man agrees: "Not bad. How about double the interest?"

At first, Wen Xingze thought he was a living Bodhisattva who could save all living beings, but now he was about to cry. Is this usury? How could he afford 40,000 chips

Wen Xingze: "... I think this matter can be discussed again!"

The man didn't speak, he slightly pursed his lips and turned his face away, and stopped looking at Wen Xingze. His shoulders shook slightly, as if smiling.

This scene once again made Wen Xingze feel an indescribable familiarity. Could it be Chi Yan? …Although it is not impossible, this is another universe.

Chi Yan had other work today, which seemed to be related to the casting of "One Day", and left home very early, but he sent Wen Xingze a WeChat message at 12:00 noon to remind him to remember to eat.

While Wen Xingze was thinking about these things, the suspended ladder quickly descended to the busiest third floor.

The door slowly opened to both sides, and the noise and cheers poured out like a tide. It was obvious that a very exciting and intense game had just ended on several gaming tables.

The warm reminder of the suspension ladder sounded:

"Di—welcome to the third floor of the underground casino, please show your 10,000 chips."

The man didn't rush out, but turned his eyes sideways and said to Wen Xingze, "No interest, but there are conditions."

Wen Xingze: "What conditions?"

"For the next three rounds, you can only play games with me. If you win twice first, I will give you all my chips."

The man held a translucent card between his two fingers and shook it. The blank card flickered for a moment, and a fluorescent blue number appeared on it. It showed that he now has 1.76 million chips, which is currently the number one in the entire casino. one.

"There is such a good thing?" Wen Xingze finally became cautious.

The man said meaningfully: "Prizes and chips are not very attractive to you."

The excitement and excitement of the entire casino, and everyone's desire to win or lose is only for one person.

They cheered for the victory, frustrated for the loss, everyone wanted to get as many chips as possible, as if that would bring them closer to their king.

Except for Wen Xingze.

He certainly wasn't attracted by the prize.

Therefore, in the eyes of other guests, the bargaining chip that was so important was just a pass to Wen Xingze to go to the second, third and fourth floors to see the excitement.

Wen Xingze: "What if I lose? I don't have 1.76 million chips to give you."

The man said lightly: "If I win twice first, within your ability, grant one of my wishes."

This kind of gambling game is called a "conditional gambling game" in which the guests make their own rules. The underground casinos recognize it and will be protected by the casino rules. As long as both parties are willing, the chips don't have to be chips.

1.76 million chips... and a wish... Wen Xingze could be sure at this moment that this person knew him a little bit before, and no one would make a wish to a stranger they met by chance for no reason.

In fact, the bargaining chip doesn't matter, maybe it can be used to see through this person's true colors.

Wen Xingze took the silver chip: "It's a happy cooperation."

The little robot floating at the door beeped, and the conditional bet was established.

At the same time, all the small robots on the entire third floor rang their bells, making the entire noisy third floor quiet, and all the guests paid attention:

"Dinglingling—the total number of chips in the conditional game exceeds one million, please invite guests No. 5 and No. 31378 to the central gaming table on the third floor!"

On the other side of the Capital Star, the clock floating above the Starport passed six quietly.

The live broadcast and games of "Zai Zai Cultivation Plan" have been stopped since the morning, and the robots cannot find Zai Zai's current location through the game or live broadcast.

But as the guiding parents this time, they still have a privilege that can help them find Zai Zai faster.

The destination they chose for Zai Zai is the star port, but according to the leap error of one light year, it is possible for Zai Zai to land at any location on the capital star.

Robots are best at waiting. They sat in a row, waiting quietly and docilely with some anticipation and joy.

The light tower told them that Zaizai is expected to arrive between seven and eight o'clock, and now there are forty minutes before seven o'clock—this countdown timer is suspended in the center of every planet in the Muse Empire, and you can see it when you look up in every place.

There was less than an hour before they could see him.

"Zai Zai, next to me, who is there?"

No. 015 turned on the terminal, and nodded slowly. After about three seconds, the light screen projected by the terminal began to flash many buoys.

The color of the buoy is mainly distinguished by nationality. The buoy of Muse is blue, but in the large blue, there are also several different colors jumping on the light screen.

There are dwarves, mermaids, dragons, and blood races... The one closest to Zai Zai is actually...

Looking at the buoy whose color was different from that of all other Muse citizens, the robots suddenly stood up, and the warning lights specially set up for the danger of puppy love turned on!

At 6:20 in the evening, the third floor of the underground casino.

The casino starts at 4:00 p.m., and most of the first guests who entered the venue have accumulated hundreds of thousands of chips. Now is the most exciting time for the casino.

This kind of excitement will last at seven o'clock, because the light tower predicts that Zai Zai will come between seven and eight o'clock.

There is a central gaming table on each floor from the second floor to the fourth floor, and the central gaming table will only be opened when the central AI determines that the size of the game is large enough. Because everyone made enough money on the third floor and then went to the fourth floor to challenge the dealer. The central gaming table on the third floor has not been opened today.

Who would have imagined that when the table opened, it would be a gamble of millions of chips!

Because of the opening of the central gaming table, all the surrounding wall lamps and ceiling lights were turned off one by one, and finally the spotlight above the central gaming table was turned on, and four beams of light shrouded the two sides of the gaming table, the croupier, and the desktop respectively.

Wen Xingze and the man sat on both sides of the central gaming table, and the floating light screen above their heads showed their data:

No. 5, chips 1,760,000;

No. 31378, 20100 chips.

Eight micro-cameras focus on the central gaming table, and like every game played on the central gaming table on the fourth floor, this game will also be broadcast to the entire underground city and online casino channels.

After a few seconds of silence, various discussions around the central gaming table quickly exploded!

"1.76 million?! I remember that the initial chip limit was only 30,000. How did he do it? The patriarch of the dwarf clan on the fourth floor is only more than 900,000."

"Stimulate."

"What's the point of betting on conditional bets today?"

"This number 31378..."

"..."

Wen Xingze had never been to a casino before, so he didn't expect to become the focus of the entire floor. Fortunately, he had a cloak and a mask.

Across the long gaming table, the man looked at Wen Xingzhe expressionlessly, and the two of them stared at each other for several seconds, a wordless atmosphere circulated between the gaming tables.

Although Wen Xingze was very confused.

—If he remembers correctly, this is just a prize, it’s a fan-oriented event around the figure, why is the atmosphere like a 1080P reset version of "God of Gamblers" StarCraft that costs hundreds of billions and puts two people's lives at stake

What pushes this wordless atmosphere to its climax is the opening of the suspended ladder from four floors to three floors.

The gambling at the central gaming table on the fourth floor has just ended. As everyone guessed, Eli, the patriarch of the dwarves, won, and the mermaid once again lost all their chips.

Eli came out surrounded by attendants, his wizard-like robes were dragging on the ground, the little boy knocked his pipe on the table, and said in a steady voice, "Conditional gambling with chips over a million? I'll be the croupier .”

The brown-haired and green-haired boy first looked at No. 5, then glanced at Xingzhe, and then looked back after only a few seconds, acting normal.

His hand holding the pipe trembled slightly.

The boy was only stunned for a second, then quickly put that hand into his wide sleeve. Immediately afterwards, Eli called the little robot and asked the little robot to take the pipe away, and then the boy casually peeled off the lollipop and held it in his mouth to satisfy his hunger.

… Wang doesn’t like the smell of smoke.

After the croupier was replaced, the audience's sights became more and more complicated, and a good show at the central gaming table was about to begin.

The other gambling games on the entire third floor were suspended, and all eyes or expectations or explorations focused on this place.

"What are you betting on?" Eli shuffled the cards, "Stud? There seems to be a novice among the two."

Wen Xingze raised his hand: "It's me, I'm good at it, I don't know what Stud is."

Eli: "…"

Audiences:"… … "

The man opposite Wen Xingze tapped his index finger on the table.

"The chip for this game." The man said, throwing a small tube of light green reagent into the chip area, "Whoever wins will get it."

The intelligent robot scans the chip area, confirms that the conditional chips meet the regulations, and the game is established.

Eli raised an eyebrow.

Everyone obviously recognized it, it turned out to be a one-time green orange!

Wen Xingze was shocked, can casinos also use green oranges? Isn't this foul

The user of the green orange can see the voices of those who like him. If he wins the green orange, according to the initial chip exchange rules of this casino, can he see the voices of everyone in the audience for the next three hours

"I kind of want to win now," Wen Xingze touched his forehead through the mask, and murmured, "What bet?"

Eli gave him a look of hatred, like an old father looking at his bastard son who was fascinated by beauty, although Eli was only five years old on the outside.

Soon the dwarf looked away.

Wen Xingze: "?"

Opposite the gaming table.

The man leaned back on the back of the chair, and said in a rambling voice, "Flip a coin."

Wen Xingze found it very strange, and at the same time was a little eager to try: "Is tossing a coin a bit too untechnical?"

Man: "The Stud?"

Wen Xingze: "Let's toss a coin."

Eli snapped his fingers, and soon the intelligent robot came over holding a box of silver coins. Eli picked up a coin and lifted it up. He checked the coin carefully for the audience and the camera, and then tossed the coin high. hold down.

Everyone held their breath.

Wen Xingze: "Yes."

Man: "Reverse."

The young croupier sighed, and slowly moved his palm away. The coin facing up was the rose pattern representing the king.

… is the opposite.

There were several sighs from the audience, as if everyone couldn't help but sided with Wen Xingze, even though they couldn't tell who he was.

Wen Xingze failed to get out of the teacher, so he could only watch helplessly as No. 5 took the green orange and pressed it behind his ear at will. During the gap between the first round and the second round, Wen Xingze looked at the man again, and then seemed to see his light silver eyes narrowed slightly.

He seemed to be able to see and hear Xingzhe's inner voice.

But Wen Xingze couldn't be too sure.

What is his heart saying now? Wen Xingze thought, maybe he was saying 'what is his heart saying now'... Forget it, it's the nesting doll.

"The chip for the second game is up to me," Wen Xingze said, asking the little robot to fetch a lie detector and put it in the chip area. "The chip is a 'question', the winner can ask the loser a question, Can't lie."

Man: "Yes."

Eli tossed the coin high again and held it down.

Wen Xingze's pupils were fixed on the coin, looking at the glittering light on the coin.

Perhaps because of being infected by the atmosphere, his brain and thoughts suddenly became extremely clear at that moment, and even the noises in his ears were close to disappearing.

"Positive." Wen Xingze said.

The man's eyes were calm: "Negative."

Eli slowly moved his palm away.

The goddess of luck is on Wen Xingze's side this time, and the number one is facing up. The entire third floor immediately cheered!

The robot puts the lie detector under the man's palm, and if the man tells a lie, the lie detector will send out a piercing alarm.

Wen Xingze actually didn't think about the question carefully when he raised the chips, because he wanted to ask too much.

Wen Xingze considered for a moment, then asked: "You..."

The man poses as if he is listening.

Asking certain questions under the attention of so many people might expose him. Wen Xingze didn't say it immediately, but tried to think in his heart: "Is it okay for me to ask you this way?"

The man was startled, and after a while, he nodded slightly.

He could really see Wen Xingze's inner voice!

Wen Xingze was shocked.

This is a person that Wen Xingze likes. In this country of the universe, people who meet this condition are not uncommon, but Wen Xingze really can't think of anyone with light silver eyes.

Wen Xingze didn't feel it when he used green orange at that time, but now he realized that when one realizes that one's inner voice will be completely read by another person, the feeling is simply too...too...

Wen Xingze's brain began to become confused, and all kinds of thoughts jumped out quickly: for example, he brushed his teeth this morning and accidentally mistook shampoo for toothpaste, for example, the spring rolls made by Chi Yan last night were delicious, for example, I know when the robot parents will come to him, for example, is this No. 5 Chi Yan? Why is Chi Yan here? Saw…

Number five: "..."

Apparently, overly detached thinking has also caused a lot of trouble to people.

The man had to loosen the mask briefly, rubbed his temples, and put the mask back on.

Wen Xingze's brain was extremely confused and chaotic, but the surface was still quite calm. He heard the robot start counting down: "The countdown is one minute, and if it expires, it will be regarded as guest 31378 giving up the chips won in this game. Sixty seconds, five nineteen… "

Eli held two coins, clapped his palms together with a crisp sound, and passed by Wen Xingze. The sound of coins colliding brought Wen Xingze back to his senses in an instant. A lollipop had been put into his palm at some point.

Wen Xingze opened the candy wrapper, and sure enough, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a sentence written on the back of the candy wrapper.

With a lollipop in his mouth, Wen Xingze looked across the gambling table. The man kept his original posture, but looked at the translucent chip card between the two fingers of his right hand, wondering what he was thinking.

Wen Xingze finally calmed down completely, he thought carefully for a while, and asked a question in his heart.

The man over there paused and said, "It's not just me, there are about four on the third floor."

The lie detector didn't sound, he was telling the truth, and the robot's countdown stopped.

The audience was at a loss: "?"

This is the end? What question did you just ask? !

Wen Xingze nodded.

Eli cleared his throat and signaled the start of the third round: "Is the coin toss also in the third round? What are the chips this time?"

Two wins out of three, Wen Xingze and No. 5 won each of the first two sentences, and this sentence will determine the final outcome of the conditional game.

The gamble worth more than one million chips was so fast-paced that it attracted the attention of all the guests in the underground casino—of course, not only because of the gamble.

Countless eyes were focused on No. 31378. He was sitting under the spotlight, his figure was between a boy and a young man, he was wearing a snow-white fox mask, the cloak was lowered, but there were still a few strands of hair curled up from the brim of the hat.

Most of all, those eyes.

Reflecting the flickering burning lights, the eyes are light amber, and there seem to be ocher tear moles at the end of the eyes.

Every Muse citizen can't mistake it, but they can't be sure. And that's why they are here and now, standing in this crazy casino tens of thousands of meters underground.

Five said, "Flip a coin."

"It's too boring to only bet on chips," Wen Xingze said first, his eyes sparkling inexplicably, "Let's bet on something else."

The man opposite nodded again.

If the unlucky Pineapple News reporter Mi Mingyou was here, he would definitely find Wen Xingze's eyes so familiar at this time, anyway, they are not the eyes of people with normal brain circuits.

Eli: "Like?"

Wen Xingze's voice was rambling, and he reached out and tapped the edge of his fox mask: "In the third round, the loser should take off the mask."

"..."

"!!!!!!"

The entire four floors of the underground casino, whether they were watching or hurrying along the corridor, including countless people in the universe who were watching the online broadcast, all opened their eyes wide at this second, casting incredible gazes on him .

In that unspeakable silence.

The man on the opposite side of the gaming table casually pushed all the chips into the chip area, and said softly:

"Pleasant cooperation."

Chapter 46 The memory kill that appeared in the forty-five chapters before, don’t buy it after reading it, the content of the repair is in the first few chapters

The author has something to say: It is the memory killing of robot parents and cubs (because there are many reasons for editing the article, it can be regarded as a side story), not the main plot of the casino, and the next chapter will continue to write the main plot.

This chapter is the memory killing (2,500 words) written in the original 45th chapter, but the new content after the revision from the 43rd chapter (about 7,000 words, followed by the first revision) I continued to write the previous plot), and I didn’t mean to cheat money. If you really think that I’m cheating money by subscribing repeatedly, you can leave a message and give a negative score. I will return them all in the form of red envelopes. I’m very sorry, bow.

I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone for the matter of repairing the text. I am an unqualified and unexcellent author. Sometimes I can’t control the plot, so I have been vacillating before. Now after the revision, I decided to write according to this direction. This article I will work hard to write the article to the end. The full text is expected to be between 400,000 and 500,000 words, and it will be serialized for about one to two months. I would like to thank the readers who are willing to continue to support the little angels, and also thank the readers who decided to abandon the article. Accompanied all the way, bow again.

Three years ago, on November 1st, Wen Xingze remembered that he just bought a lottery ticket the day before yesterday, but because he was born poor, he was robbed and broke his leg. All the money in the lottery ticket could only be used as medicine fee.

So I lay in the hospital all day with nothing to do.

He downloaded "Desolation" from his mobile phone. The game was completely black at the beginning. He groped in the dark for a long time before lighting the first light.

Not long after, he went to the garbage collection station closest to Desolate Star to find some resources that could be used to build the town, but he heard a faint mechanical sound in the ruins: "Beep—the self-destruct process is starting—"

At this time, the game system reminded him to run for his life, otherwise he would be affected by the self-destruct attack of the killing robot.

He found out in the game data that the PN-4 killing robot was the robot that once caused panic in the whole universe, especially the 008 to 011 robots, which did not have normal ethical concepts at all.

But Wen Xingze was also very bold at the time, he just went back to his levitator to find a blanket, and hurried back to the recycling bin.

There was no wind and no moon on this day, and the garbage collection station was so dark that it was terrifying. All the robots had their limbs removed, leaving only the head of the core center. A naked young man with long curly hair falling down to his ankles.

The robot that used to dominate the universe, the final destination is such a small and dilapidated garbage collection station.

I don't know what they are thinking in their hearts, or if they will be unwilling. They live for killing, and finally die for killing. The meaning of life is all related to death. In fact, in the eyes of the scientists who invented them, robots cannot be called 'life', they can only be called some useful weapons.

As soon as Wen Xingze approached, all the robots started beeping and their irises turned red: "Attack—attack—destroy the nearest living body—"

Other people who had approached the garbage collection station before were all scared and fled at this time, but the robots quickly realized that this young man was different.

He picked up Fangfang's metal head on No. 015, groped around, and found the button to turn off the phone.

"Don't quarrel," Wen Xingze said, "If you quarrel any more, your energy bars will also be removed."

Robots: "…"

Why is he not afraid of them? !

Why is he so fierce? !

These are two problems that have plagued the robots for a long time in the early days, especially No. 011. No. 008, who has the most violent personality, opened his eyes. The first second he saw Wen Xingze, he said in an extremely cold tone: "I will kill you, and then destroy this world."

However, Wen Xingze looked at him curiously for a while, and asked, "How long have you had this symptom?" He pointed to the second disease.

No. 008: "???"

And Wen Xingze said: "My country just needs some new residents. Are there any domestic robots among you?"

No. 008 blankly repeated the key words: "housekeeping, robot?"

"A robot that can do housework, cook, sweep and mop the floor, and serve tea and water," Wen Xingze said.

Now the scientific community roughly divides robots into several categories: killing, housekeeping, labor... Of course, the development of killing robots has been banned a long time ago, but there are still many countries that secretly violate the taboo regulations.

As the head of all robots, 008 is a very aggressive anthropomorphic robot, his eyes are a kind of dark gray that is thicker than smoke.

He said proudly with disdain: "I really don't know how to cook and cook, but I can kill people. I can use particle cannons and antimatter cannons. I can ignore all laser reflection cloaking devices. My combat ability—"

Wen Xingze showed a very disappointed expression.

No. 008: "..."

This is a moment that makes all the robots feel extremely frustrated.

The rest of the people will only show joyful and greedy expressions when they hear that they are extremely capable in fighting. Killing is the only meaning of their existence and what they are best at. Now what they are best at has been denied? !

They were annoyed, they were incredulous, and they vacillated between whether to kill this overwhelmed young man, until Wen Xingze wrapped the naked No. 011 in a blanket and carried it back to the levitator.

No. 008 froze for a moment, and shouted behind him: "Humans, No. 011 can't do housekeeping either! His fighting ability is not even as good as mine!"

The robots watched his leaving back and felt an indescribable emotion, like a little bit lost, but also a little sour. For some reason, No. 011 was selected. No. 011 just looks gentle, and he will kill Wen Xingze mercilessly, everyone thinks.

The young man may not be coming back, and their energy bars are about to run out. This is what happened on the last night of their lives, and it was ridiculously absurd.

But Wen Xingze came back soon.

He pressed the shutdown button on No. 015 and moved them back to the levitator. Finally, he carried No. 008 to No. 010 back one by one. Without even asking about their personal wishes, he announced domineeringly: "You are the number one of Muse. batch of citizens."

Robots: "…"

This is like a king's game like playing house, and everyone didn't take what he said seriously at the beginning.

But what is amazing is that all the robots began to learn housework spontaneously and secretly, even though they used to look down on domestic robots so much.

Wen Xingze went to the garbage collection station on that trip. In addition to the robots, he also picked up some books, such as "Simple and Delicious Three Hundred Home Cooking Dishes", "The Thrilling Housekeeping Technique: Tidying Up Your Life", among which there are A parenting bible "affecting a baby's life".

Out of some magical psychology, they kept these books well.

No. 011 was the first to learn how to boil water. He squatted next to the kettle for a whole day and boiled more water than he could use up in a year.

Then No. 015 learned to use a broom that same night.

Finally, No. 008, who has been studying in the kitchen for a long time, came out one day three months later in disgrace, carrying a plate of fried rice with eggs that was a bit dark.

Wen Xingze finished eating fried rice with eggs, and seriously commented: "It's delicious."

Snow began to fall outside the window again, and Wen Xingze looked at them with his eyes curved a little.

Like a galaxy falling in his eyes.

Anthropomorphic robots don't have human emotions, so they don't feel joy.

But the hotness flowing between the core centers is incomparable, as if they also have a living heart, boiling and agitating, and the emotional data exceeding the upper limit is as strong as a mountain roaring tsunami, drowning them in an instant.

"There may be something wrong with my core program," No. 008 turned around slowly, and said, "I'll fix it."

And Wen Xingze laughed heartily: "No, you're just shy."

The robots froze in place.

Everything moved forward in a logical way, and in the fourth month, Wen Xingze picked up a dwarf scientist at Xinggang.

This group of five or six-year-old eccentric little ones, they have delicate little faces, holding dice, wine glasses and cigarettes in their hands, wearing robes like wizards, wrinkled like ghosts parasitic in the soil Mei hurried past.

When the dwarf scientists first arrived, the robots were taken aback, thinking that Wen Xingze had an illegitimate child outside, only to find out later that the dwarfs were ten times older than Wen Xingze.

On November 1st of the second year of Muse's establishment, a group of strange residents had come to this planet, including the blind officer. In order to commemorate this day, the robots looked through the dictionary for a long time and suggested that Wen Xingze name it 'Light Giving Festival'.

In fact, Wen Xingze originally wanted to name it 'Roasted Chicken Drumstick Festival', because No. 008 finally learned how to roast chicken drumsticks a year later.

In the end it was called the Light Giving Festival.

In the next three years in reality, during the thirty years of the Universal Era, every November 1st, Wen Xingze will definitely go online and spend it with everyone, just like family reunions on New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wen Xingze is not a particularly well-behaved character, but he has persisted in this habit.

He wants to light up the first light after the Milky Way goes out for his parents.
