After entering the "table" interface, the "players at this table" can communicate through typing or voice, and of course, the video chat function can also be turned on.
Without much hesitation, Feng Bujue opened the video and said to the screen, "I'm here."
After a brief silence, the user whose id was displayed as [Sponsor] on the opposite side of the "card table" and whose avatar was a question mark also turned on the voice: "It seems... you don't care about revealing your identity anymore."
"Hmph... That kind of thing has been exposed long ago, hasn't it?" Feng Bujue snorted coldly.
"Oh? How did you see that?" asked the sponsor.
"With the resources you have... Just take a cup or straw that I used on the Yage, and rely on fingerprints and DNA, you can find out who I am." Feng Bujue replied, "And ... The first sentence you said just now was not to ask yourself."
"Huh?" The organizer was startled when he heard this.
"Huh... the reaction is really slow..." Feng Bujue didn't give the other party any time to react, and he continued after a second, "Indeed, the shape I use now is my own appearance, and the name is also a homonym. But...how did you know? That day on the Song of Solomon, all you saw was the face of a 'clown', and all you knew was the name 'crow'... and at this moment, in this virtual world where you can adjust your appearance In the game, the first sentence you say after seeing me is "You don't care about revealing your identity anymore", which is like telling me - the person you "see" is different from the identity you "found". Matched."
He finished this paragraph with a very fast speech speed, causing the host to fall into silence again.
A moment later, the host... also turned on the video chat function, and then, a young face appeared on the screen.
"Let's get to know each other formally..." The organizer with a face of mixed Chinese and European blood (Je Jue judged him to be of yellow race from the skin color of his neck and hands when wearing a mask). He said to Brother Jue with a smile on his face, "...my name is Adolf Snow, a rich n-generation who loves 'games'."
"Oh. Hello." Brother Jue replied weakly, "In view of my name, occupation and other information, you should have looked it up. I won't repeat it. If you want to call me Artists or great writers or something... you're welcome, I can stand it."
"Heh... you are really 'crazy' as the Internet says." Snow continued, "Crazy, no, I think."
He specially read these three words word by word, as if they meant something.
Brother Jue also understood the other party's implication: "So... your research on me does not stop at the level of 'archives'."
"Yes..." Snow did not deny it. "After finding out who you are, I became more interested in you... So, I read your books, watched your recorded TV shows, and learned a lot about you in 'Thriller Paradise' from various sources. ' What you did in..." When he said this, his eyes flashed with excitement, "Hehe... Frankly speaking... I really like you more and more."
"Hmm... Your passionate lines..." Feng Bujuexu complained, "It's easy for people to misunderstand 'that aspect'."
"It doesn't matter." Snow replied disapprovingly, "I'm originally bisexual."
"I see..." Feng Bujue nodded.
Then, there was an eerie silence for a few seconds.
"I already have a girlfriend." Brother Jue said after holding back for a few seconds.
"Hahahaha..." Snow laughed, "Don't worry. You are not my type." He paused for half a second, and then said, "I said 'I like you'. As an 'opponent in the game', there is no other the meaning of."
"Why do I feel that you deliberately used that easily misunderstood statement to test my reaction?" Feng Bujue was really perceptive.
When Snow heard this, he was taken aback again, and after a few seconds he said: "Okay~Okay~ I saw through you, I originally thought that if the conversation went smoothly, I would..."
"That kind of assumption doesn't exist anymore." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party immediately, "Let's talk about something else."
Snow shrugged. He smiled and said, "Hehe... that's okay too~" He thought about it again and said. "By the way, about the topic of 'identity' just now. I still have one thing I don't understand..." He immediately asked, "When you were on the Yage the day before yesterday, since you knew it well... Anyway, I will eventually find out Your identity, then why... you still put on such an exaggerated clown makeup under the mask?"
"Heh... that..." Feng Bujue laughed, "That's an emergency measure I prepared to prevent someone from taking off my mask during a banquet or a game." He explained, "Of course, that kind of thing... As the organizer, you and your subordinates will not do it, because you already have the information of all the guests; to take a step back, even if you doubt my identity, you will invite me out alone and let me reveal Put on the mask." He paused for a second, then changed the topic, "But, the other guests... that's hard to say; what if some guy gets annoyed by me and pulls my mask while I'm not paying attention If I do, my face will be seen by everyone around me. And this situation... is very troublesome.
"The people in the banquet hall that day were all desperate upper-class people, and many of them would return to shore after that night... As long as one of them recognizes me, there will be endless troubles. "
"Actually...has that level of consideration been taken into consideration?" Snow murmured after hearing this.
"Isn't it natural to consider that level?" Feng Bujue replied, "Pretending to be someone else's identity, taking a ship with a registered country of Panama, sailing on the high seas... to participate in a game that is impossible to watch no matter how you look at it." It's an illegal game; a trip like this...wouldn't anyone be surprised if it ended in 'dismembered and buried at sea'?"
Brother Jue's words had an impact on Snow's thinking.
This is an excellent example of "different situations, different ways of thinking".
People who take a full set of wild survival equipment to explore in the mountains, and people who get lost in the mountains empty-handed, think about things in very different directions, and may even be diametrically opposite.
The things that Feng Bujue said... Snow would indeed think about it. In fact, in order to make the "game" more interesting, he often thought about it from the perspective of those "prey"; but. After all, he couldn't think of "that level" of Brother Jue.
"Huh... If possible, I really want you to come to me as a consultant." After a while, Snow said again.
"Sorry. I have no plans to change careers." Feng Bujue said.
"Give you a truckload of dollars, think about it?" Maybe this is a habit of Snow. He almost blurted out the use of "truck" as a measure of money.
"It can be seen that you are a person who takes money very lightly." Feng Bujue didn't answer the other party directly, but responded with this sentence.
"What?" Snow continued, "You want to say... you too?"
"Yes, me too." Feng Bujue said.
Although they both take money very lightly, their natures are very different, because one of them is super rich, while the other... jumps out at every turn, "a gentleman will never fall into the sky if he is poor." There is really no money.
"Well..." Snow sighed, "I think I know your answer." At this point, his tone was a little cold, "Then... Your Excellency 'Indifferent to Fame and Fortune', why did you come to today's appointment? ?”
"Nonsense, because I want 'that thing' ah." Feng Bujue replied.
"That thing..." Snow snorted coldly, "Hmph... Isn't it just money?"
"Who said I'm going to sell it?" Feng Bujue said, "Didn't I just tell you when I was on the boat, I was entrusted to pick it up."
"Just because you were entrusted by someone..." Snow continued, "You took part in that kind of trip that is likely to never return?"
"Why not?" Jue Ge asked back.
"That is to say..." Snow said again. "Today, if you beat me and get 'that thing', you will also give it to the person who entrusted you with nothing?"
"That's between me and him." Feng Bujue said, "You... came to 'game', didn't you?"
"Hehe..." Snow laughed, "Yeah... 'Originally', I just came here for fun."
It can be judged from this sentence that he is about to say no.
"But..." Snow really lived up to expectations, "Now I've changed my mind."
"Nong want to group up?" Feng Bujue's hooligan accent came out immediately, and his hometown dialect came out.
"Heh..." Snow smiled even more, "We made an agreement before. For this 'confrontation', my bet is 'that thing'. Your bet is the hundreds of thousands of dollars you won from me. (He didn't even remember how much money Brother Jue won the night before, so he said "hundreds of thousands"), right?"
"Why? You want me to raise?" Feng Bujue said.
"Since you and I don't regard money as anything important. And using it as a bet... wouldn't it be too boring?" Snow continued smoothly.
"Don't you think it's a little too much to make such a request when the duel is about to start?" Feng Bujue naturally wouldn't immediately agree, he was trying to win for himself.
"'Excessive'?" Snow repeated those two words, and laughed, "You pretended to be my guest, got on my cruise ship, and used your fake identity to get away hundreds of thousands of dollars at my banquet...and I neither threw you into the sea, nor snatched your money back, nor illegally detained you to torture and extract a confession... Now, you actually say that I am too much?"
"Hmm... What you said seems to make sense." Feng Bujue touched his chin, as if he just understood, and replied casually.
Snow was also mentally prepared for Brother Jue's unscrupulous words and deeds. He suppressed the urge to complain, and continued the previous topic: "In short, what I mean is that my bet remains the same... no, I can even give you another step, and the hundreds of thousands will be given to you. But, your bet... "
"If you lose, you have to be your advisor, right?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Oh... that's right." Snow was not surprised that Brother Jue gave the answer directly.
"Oh... I knew it." Feng Bujue said, "It doesn't require money... it just needs people."
"If you agree to this condition, we can start." Snow heard that there was something going on, and hurriedly urged the other party to make a decision quickly.
"Okay, just bet." Feng Bujue didn't hesitate, "However, this is a verbal agreement right now... Can you trust me?"
"That's needless to say?" Snow asked, "Don't you also believe that I will hand over things to you after losing without any contract guarantee?"
Feng Bujue smiled and said, "I'm overwhelmed, that's because I didn't even have room to question when the agreement was reached (on the Yage, after Brother Jue unveiled the mask)" ;."
"It doesn't matter. In short, I believe you will keep the contract." Snow said, "Because the opponent I approve... must be a man who can win and lose."
...
Twenty minutes later.
[Your card group is ready]After confirming the card group selection, Feng Bujue turned around and faced the elevator door.
beep—
The moment Feng Bujue pressed the [duel] button, the elevator door opened with a beep.
Outside the door is a circular arched stone corridor.
The corridor is made of white stones, and it is quite spacious. There is an exit more than ten meters in front of it, and the scorching sun has already slanted in from the exit.
[Please choose your duel equipment]
The moment he stepped out of the elevator, the system voice sounded again.
In the next second, a window popped up in front of Juege. There are currently only two options in the window, namely: [Duel Console] and [Duel Disk].
Feng Bujue chose the duel disk without thinking, and pressed OK.
In an instant, the flow of data light burst out of thin air, turning into a mass of white light that enveloped his arm.
Three seconds later, the white light froze and gradually darkened into shape. A device with a blue background, white frame and red axis, like a folded mechanical wing, appeared on Jue Ge's left forearm.
[It has been detected that your dominant hand is the right hand, and the duel disk is installed in the left hand by default. If you want to change the setting, please return to the login space settings]
[Your Duel Disk is dd()-Standard type, for more cool skins, please go to the online store to get them]
During the course of the duel disk, these two lines of subtitles with audio were also swiped in front of Brother Jue.
"It's cool and useful, can it increase the probability of a magic draw..." Feng Bujue looked at the advertisement-like reminder that floated by, and secretly complained.
At this moment, he had come to the end of the circular arched stone corridor.
When he stepped out of the stone gate, his eyes suddenly opened up, and the "duel venue" selected on the "card table" just now - [Ancient Roman Colosseum] came into Juege's eyes.
At the same time, from a stone door opposite him, another duelist who had also been equipped with a dueling disk walked out—Adolf Snow.
When the two of them took their positions (a cursor on the ground pointed out the duelist's standing area) and stood in the huge circular arena, a new system voice came.
This time, it was not a "reminder", but a "broadcast" that sounded directly on the venue.
I could only hear... a very passionate male voice preaching—
[Adhering to the rules and etiquette, let's duel happily.](.)
