I kidnapped the timeline

Following the black-haired ape, Feng Qi met a new buyer.

The buyer is a suspended black ball of life that is all black.

There was no accident this time. Black Ball Life checked the soul beads handed over by Feng Qi and after confirming the value, he happily threw out a blood stone card.

Feng Qi, who took the blood stone card, lowered his head and looked at it.

This is a translucent blood-colored crystal card. An energy crystal is embedded in the center of the card. The spreading blood-colored lines combine to form a series of characters on the upper part of the card.

As if seeing Feng Qi's confusion, the black-haired ape immediately introduced the role of the bloodstone card.

This card is called a wealth card in Destiny City. It is mainly used to record wealth. It has no great value in itself, and it is not a space prop that can store resources obtained from transactions.

The special symbols on the upper half of the card are proof of the value of the wealth card.

All gambling games in Destiny City use bloodstone cards to pay fees or collect rewards.

After all, tens of millions or hundreds of millions of blood stone games are very common in Destiny City. It is impossible to play with physical chips in every game. A large-scale game requires mountains of resources, which is a waste of time and efficiency. .

The Lord of Destiny City thought of this problem very early, so he opened a special institution "Wealth Center" in Destiny City, which is similar to a banking institution in the human world.

This organization is not responsible for storing physical resources other than general chips. Any visitor can spend one thousand blood stones to make an anonymous wealth card. Any general chips can be stored in the blood stone card.

When tourists want to take away the stored wealth, they can provide the bloodstone card to the wealth center, deduct the internal wealth digital code, obtain the physical bloodstone, and then use space props to carry it away.

As for the space props carried by gamblers, whether they can hold blood stones and other issues are not within the scope of consideration by the Fortune Center.

If you cannot take it away, you can choose to take it away in batches, or you can continue to store it in the blood stone card.

As long as Destiny City is still operating, the property stored in the Wealth Center will not be lost.

How to use the bloodstone card is also very simple. As long as you insert your consciousness into the bloodstone card, the transaction panel will appear, and then you can complete the transaction by card to card.

Through the black-haired ape's explanation, Feng Qi gained a detailed understanding of the blood stone card.

Especially the understanding of digital symbols, which is also the basis for using bloodstone cards, otherwise the transaction will not be completed at all.

After the black-haired ape finished speaking, he tried to insert his consciousness into the blood stone card, and suddenly countless illusory blood codes appeared in his consciousness.

After coming back to his senses, he took the bloodstone card from the black-haired ape and touched it with his own. He consciously dialed the blood code, and the numbers on it suddenly changed.

After outputting 500,000, he still had 52.5 million ordinary blood stones left in his blood stone card.

After coming back to his senses, he handed back the blood stone card of the black-haired ape.

"Thank you. If you have any good things you want to sell in the future, you can come to me. Integrity is the foundation of my foothold here. I hope to gain your trust."

Looking at the sincere face of the black-haired ape, Feng Qi smiled and nodded.

After the black-haired ape left, Feng Qi turned and looked at the civet cat messenger standing beside him:

"Take me up there to take a look, especially the illustrated war game."

"As you wish, guest." The civet cat messenger shook his feather fan lightly and nodded.

Next, Feng Qi followed the civet cat messenger to the end of the central trading area and walked up the spar steps.

The quality of the steps is extremely extraordinary, and the interior is made of glazed clouds and is crystal clear.

Shows brilliant colors under the light.

Soon they came to the upper three floors, which provided advanced gambling games.

You can see various forms of spiritual realm creatures playing games in front of the table. Their shapes are different. There are spiritual realm creatures that look like jellyfish, and there are also spiritual realm creatures that resemble suspended black balls, etc., generally through tentacles. to control the game pieces in your hands

We can also see a few flesh-and-blood beings engaging in advanced games with spiritual creatures.

There was no end of sight in the venue, and he couldn't estimate how many gamblers there were.

Feng Qi did not choose to stay on this floor. He was not interested in advanced gambling at all, so he followed the raccoon cat envoy up the stairs.

Along the way, Feng Qi couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Isn't there an elevator here?"

"What is an elevator?" The civet cat messenger looked confused.

"A fixed lifting equipment that can quickly go to the floor you want to go to."

"Oh, it turns out it is this kind of thing, but the device you described is too backward. The Lord of Destiny City once thought of installing a stable space transmission device between the floors of the hall, but this idea was quickly abandoned."

"Why?"

"The Lord of Destiny City feels that this convenient transmission is not conducive to the progress of the game."

"I didn't understand what it meant."

Faced with Feng Qi's inquiry, the civet cat messenger stopped, shook his feather fan and said with a smile:

"Because you have to walk up and down the stairs, gamblers will face too many temptations, and the idea of ​​giving up will quickly turn into continuing."

"For example, when a gambler wins a large amount of wealth on the 88th floor and wants to leave, he needs to go down the stairs one after another. He will inevitably see various exciting games along the way. Sometimes It’s inevitable that you’ll feel itchy, and deciding to leave may turn into continuing to participate in the game.”

After hearing this, Feng Qi already understood what the Lord of Destiny City was thinking.

"Isn't this a scam? I originally won a huge fortune on the 88th floor, but when I went down to the first floor, I was very likely to be unable to resist the temptation and lose it all."

"Yes, such guests do exist, but there are also guests who complete the snowballing of wealth while going downstairs. When they return to the first floor, their wealth has doubled several times. Facing the temptation brought by the game, there are not only bad results."

Regarding the civet cat messenger's point of view, Feng Qi nodded.

The special thing about Destiny City is that it is fair. There is no "banker" here. It does not extract profits and only provides a platform for gaming.

Therefore, there is no possibility for the "banker" to design a probability trap.

Compared with the casinos in the human world before the disaster, the probability of winning money here is higher and fairer.

The starting point of Destiny City Lord not designing a simple teleportation device is just to keep the game going, not from the perspective of harming gamblers.

Soon they reached the upper four floors of the palace.

Passing through the transparent barrier like ripples of water, a noisy sound suddenly reached my ears.

Feng Qi found himself standing at the top of a circular competitive stand. The center of the stand was wrapped by a transparent barrier and was an arena the size of two football fields.

Countless gamblers stood in the ring like him, overlooking the arena and making deafening sounds.

Even if he was not involved, he could feel the excitement in the hearts of those gamblers.

His eyes turned to the duel field, where two figures were wrestling.

Because he was standing far away, Feng Qi's pupils shrank and his sight quickly zoomed in, clearly seeing the situation in the duel arena.

At this time, two soldiers were fighting in close quarters.

The life-and-death fight was very bloody. One of the duelists had half of his body torn off, but he still persisted in fighting with a strong desire to survive, hoping to turn defeat into victory.

But the struggle did not bring him victory. When his head was torn off, cheers, anger, roars, and various sounds erupted in the stands.

In this battle alone, countless gamblers who chose to invest lost all their money.

The second battle began soon, and two more figures entered the venue.

Feng Qi did not choose to stay here too long, and followed the civet cat to continue walking to the upper floor.

The next 5-8 floors are the venues for battle games.

On every floor, Feng Qi could see a fight with force, and the battle was bloody and crazy.

The contestants went crazy inside the venue and the punters went crazy outside the venue.

At the same time, Feng Qi also discovered the characteristics of a participating gladiator.

They generally have extremely strong fighting skills, and it is even said that fighting skills are the key factor in their victory.

The review mechanism for levels 4-8 is very strict. It is necessary to evaluate the strength of the contestants and then give a strength rating.

The duel games are all contestants of similar strength.

When the strength is almost the same, combat skills become the key to victory.

Those contestants who dare to risk their lives for profit obviously have strong confidence in their fighting skills, otherwise there will be no difference between participating and risking death.

Here he saw a variety of fierce fighting skills, and every move was a fatal move.

Blood, sweat, death, and the excitement that makes the blood vessels swell are also one of the reasons why gamblers are addicted to it.

Walking on the steps leading to the ninth floor, Feng Qi was still thinking about what he had seen on floors 4-8.

Looking at the civet cat messenger walking in front, he couldn't help but ask:

“Is it feasible if tourists only watch and bet?”

The civet cat heard this and said without looking back:

"There are no set requirements for the battle games on levels 4-8. If you want to watch the game for free, there is no problem. But if you watch too much, there will always be times when you can't help it when faced with the sudden wealth events that keep happening around you."

"Once you place a bet, no matter whether you win or lose, you have laid the foundation for becoming a senior gambler in the future... There are many tourists here who have never made a bet and just want to be spectators, but with their in-depth understanding of the battle game, they have a By using what you think is the right technique to judge the strength of the contestants, you will naturally become a gambler."

"You have to understand that there is no behind-the-scenes operation here. Many of these gamblers can always make stable profits, but there are also cases where the boss chooses to make heavy bets after making several consecutive misjudgments and then loses everything."

Feng Qi was stunned by the civet cat messenger's explanation.

Next, they walked through the purple transparent curtain to the ninth floor.

This is the floor where the game is assembled.

What appeared in front of Feng Qi was a completely different scene from the previous floor.

Brilliant neon lights intertwined, and the roar of mechanical engines came from the distance.

There is a huge square ahead, and all the buildings and facilities inside seem to be pieced together with various mechanical parts.

All the punters were on raised stands.

Their gazes were overlooking the west side of the square, where hundreds of participating teams were assembling flying engineering machines using materials randomly given in this competition.

This is also the core of the assembly game.

Participants must pay fees in advance if they want to participate. The fees paid by all teams are the prize pool for the assembled gaming competition, and the winner draws profits from the prize pool.

On the other hand, it is an off-site game for gamblers to watch, and the prize pool is different from that of the contestants.

Standing in the stands, Feng Qi discovered that almost all the participants in the assembly competition signed up as a team.

He could think of reasons.

After all, the rules of the assembly competition are to assemble the aircraft using randomly given materials, which involves forging, assembly, enchanting, and so on.

It is obviously difficult to complete the process of material smelting, building and assembling alone by relying on one's personal ability in a limited time.

After asking the civet messenger, Feng Qi learned that such a game would take 39 hours.

Feng Qi, who originally wanted to watch the assembly and flying competition, suddenly lost interest.

It was too long, and he didn't want to wait here for nearly two days just to watch a competitive flight.

Follow the civet cat messenger and continue to climb up the steps.

The 9th to 14th floors are all venues for assembly games. Until I left Fengqi on the 14th floor, I didn’t see the ongoing assembly and flight games. All I saw were the busy figures of the assembly team.

He felt that if Mo Fei came here, he would definitely watch it with gusto.

But he has no interest in this aspect, and naturally he is not willing to stay for a long time.

Leaving the 14th floor, they came to the upper 15th floor.

The next 15-32 floors are all venues for fraudulent games.

Gamblers here set up virtual scenes in the form of stalls, invite contestants who are willing to challenge, and lay out scams through simulated scenes, and appraisers need to find flaws in the scams.

The Fraud Game is the second most popular game in Destiny City after the Illustrated War Game.

Feng Qi originally wanted to see how exciting this kind of game would be, but the virtual scenes set up by the fraudsters were covered by energy barriers, and they were not allowed to visit at all. After all, this is a guy who eats, and it would only be a challenge to visit. By.

Thinking of spending money, Feng Qi suddenly lost interest.

If you want to master this kind of gambling game, you will obviously have to pay some tuition fees in the early stage, and he is not willing to throw away money here.

In his eyes, more than 50 million blood stones are precious wealth, and he must bring back part of Star City.

Maybe it can bring huge help to the development of Star City and change the adverse trend at a certain critical time.

He felt that this kind of fraud game might be very suitable for Lao Mi, an old yinbi, who was always good at playing yin.

Feng Qi is only interested in illustrated wars.

He has Thunder, a war wizard, by his side.

War layout, unit matching, war strategy... are all things that Thunder is good at. Maybe letting Thunder play can earn him a lot of money.

But he doesn't plan to gamble here, and plans to give the Thunder a sum of money to give him a try.

If you win, your bicycle will become a motorcycle. If you lose, you will lose the amount of money you have preset in your heart. You will never invest more than you psychologically expected.

Arriving at the 33rd floor, passing through the white energy barrier, Feng Qi came to the Pretender Game Game Area.

The venue here is divided into areas of the same size, separated by energy barriers, and the entry fees are marked on the different barrier rooms.

But the lowest fee starts at 100,000 blood stones.

You can see many figures moving within the room barrier, and there is a countdown number beating at the top of each room.

"Boss, it seems fun. Let's try it."

Looking at the changing figures in the room, Xiaoyou flying aside shouted with interest.

"If you don't go, it will be a venue with at least 100,000 blood stones. I feel bad."

Hearing these words, the civet cat messenger who led the way smiled and shook his head:

"Guest, the Pretender game scene is shielded from perception. The game is based on premonitions and luck. This type of game has no threshold. The scene at the beginning of the game is completely random. You can try it with 100,000 blood stones. try."

After hearing what the civet cat messenger said, Feng Qi glanced at Xiaoyou who had an encouraging look on his face, then nodded and said:

"Then give it a try."

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaoyou and others, Feng Qi came to the lowest consumption room, took out the blood stone card and swiped it at the spar on the door. Suddenly the blood stone shone with light, and the coded numbers on it changed. One hundred thousand blood stones were deduct.

Feng Qi stepped through the energy barrier and walked into the room.

There were forty-three contestants in the room, including spiritual realm creatures and flesh and blood realm creatures. Their eyes were constantly scanning the situation in the room, as if they wanted to judge the flaws of other contestants in this way.

Looking to the top of his head, the suspended energy countdown numbers were beating.

While waiting, several more gamblers entered the room.

When the countdown ended, the room suddenly began to distort, and then expanded and changed.

In the blink of an eye, the blank room turned into a small island.

A deep voice sounded in his ears:

"Half of the appraisers have been selected and are in a state of consciousness shielding. Countdown: 69 seconds. The pretender begins to pretend!"

As the voice fell, a translucent panel appeared in front of Feng Qi's eyes.

There are a total of ten random disguise choices above.

Realizing that he needed to complete the disguise within a limited time, Feng Qi glanced at the island scene through the transparent panel, and after a brief hesitation, he chose a tree.

After the selection was completed, Feng Qi found that he was covered in a layer of energy and had turned into a moveable tree from the outside.

Next, he needs to find a safe place on the small island to disguise himself and deceive the investigators.

In this type of game, each scout has twelve attack opportunities, and any attack beyond twelve times will be ineffective.

During the game, if the pretender is attacked at will, his true identity will be revealed and he will be eliminated.

This prevents the appraiser from being able to destroy it at will and conduct a blanket search.

Arriving at the beach facing the ocean, Feng Qi chose to settle here, waiting for the game to begin.

At this time, a small white creature that looked like a rabbit slowly came to him.

This is obviously not a virtual scene creature on the island, because it has an eye-catching pretender logo on its head, and the rabbit shakes its head towards it, seeming to tell it that it is not safe here.

Then the rabbit curled his lips and pointed forward, looking at a large and lush tree.

Realizing that his teammate Rabbit was teaching him how to disguise himself better, Feng Qi nodded immediately, then followed Rabbit to the big tree, and froze himself against the big tree.

The rabbit nodded with satisfaction and then disappeared from his sight.

Feng Qi:......

Is this love from veteran players?

When the countdown ends, the pretender game officially begins.

Appraisers who have not changed their life forms appear on the scene. They quickly wander around the small island. During the process, they will suddenly turn around and make roaring and other sounds, as if they want to expose the flaws of the pretenders in the scene through intimidation.

Soon the first round of attacks began, and the appraisers began to destroy things in the scene that seemed incongruous.

Of the 32 pretenders displayed on the panel, three were reduced in a short period of time.

The game is still going on, Feng Qi leans on the old tree motionless, the branches and leaves swaying in the wind.

At this time, he saw the small white animal again, slowly jumping forward. During this period, it used its thin forelimbs to dig on the ground from time to time, as if it was looking for food.

One of the appraisers actually passed by it without even looking at the little rabbit.

Seeing this scene, Feng Qi called him a good guy.

The concept that the most dangerous is the safest has been implemented in this contestant.

As the countdown suspended in the sky jumps, the appraiser's destruction begins to accelerate. Some appraisers even start randomly destroying things in the scene. If they are unlucky, they will be eliminated.

About half an hour into the game, the final five minutes get crazy.

The appraisers began to wreak havoc. When one of the appraisers passed by Feng Qi, he punched the big tree in front of him so hard that Feng Qi almost thought he was out.

Fortunately, after hitting the big tree hard, the appraiser did not punch him, and he survived by luck. .

When the one-minute countdown entered, there were less than ten appraisers left in the venue who had not been eliminated.

Feng Qi is lucky to be alive.

In the last ten seconds of the countdown, the appraisers have already exhausted their number of destructions.

When the countdown ended, Feng Qi's body recovered, and a translucent statistics panel appeared in front of him.

The first is to calculate the game points.

The appraiser is awarded points based on the number of defeats, and the pretender is awarded points based on the time spent undetected.

After comparing the points of both sides, the appraiser wins and draws one-fifth of the bloodstones from the total prize pool, which are then distributed according to the defeat points. Those appraisers who have no number of defeats will not receive bloodstone rewards.

Next are the statistics of camp wins and losses.

Since there were still 6 pretenders alive in the end, the camp's victory was on Feng Qi's side. As one of the pretenders who persisted to the end, he received 70,000 blood stones.

Finally, there is the disguised time distribution benefit within the winning camp.

This time Feng Qi received 150,000 blood stones.

As the blood stone card flashed hot and the digital code on it changed, Feng Qi picked it up and took a look and found that 210,000 ordinary blood stones had been recorded.

After just one game of gambling, the resources he invested doubled.

This game of heartbeat and profit is really exciting.

Feng Qi finally understood why so many gamblers chose to spend money here.

It is difficult for any life to resist the temptation of soaring wealth.

Looking across the room, the gamblers were already waiting for the next game to start. Feng Qi couldn't tell who the old player who just pointed him out was.

At this point he turned around and walked through the energy barrier and left the room.

If there is a win, there must also be a loss.

The little rabbit who pointed him out was unfortunately eliminated by the appraiser, but he survived, and luck accounted for most of it.

He couldn't guarantee that he would win the next game, so he might as well just give it up.

"As expected of the boss, awesome!"

After leaving the room, he saw Xiaoyou flying towards him, praising him proudly, and then continued to encourage:

"Boss, let's play another game. This time I propose to become a small animal."

"I won't play anymore. I'll keep it as soon as I make 110,000 blood stones. This amount of resources is enough to train an elite team of ten people."

Regarding Xiaoyou's request, Feng Qi decisively chose to refuse.

"Guest, how do you feel? Is it very exciting?"

The civet cat messenger on the side asked with a smile.

"Not bad, but not for me."

"You will definitely find a game that satisfies you on the floors above. There is always a game that you like."

When he said these words, Tanuki couldn't hide his confidence in his eyes.

"Maybe, let's keep going up."

The civet cat messenger nodded, and then led Feng Qi and others to the higher floors of the Destiny Palace.

Thanks to Dugu Yaoyue for the 1,500 starting coins.
