Chapter 1040: Cherish Life and Stay Away from Gambling
"Has something happened already?"
Hearing Li Nian's words, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Yes……
This ship is not "safe" - it is already an empty ghost ship full of weirdness!
Li Nian's words also completely opened up Lin Yu's mind.
The accident of this ship does not just mean that it is "unsafe".
even……
"I just got stuck in a rut. Although this ship looks new, it may have existed for a long time. In other words, perhaps inferring which world it belongs to based on its 'current situation' within the 'Ten Realms' isn't entirely accurate!"
"If we continue to reason this way, it's not impossible that it's Jingxu," Lin Yu said seriously. "After all, if the ghost ship's accident happened before the sinking of 'Mu Continent', then there really is a possibility that such a ship exists in Jingxu."
Li Nian also understood what Lin Yu meant: "I understand, so... this ghost ship might actually be a 'relic'?"
Lin Yu nodded again and said, "Yes, although I don't know if there are things like the Bermuda legend in the Ten Realms, perhaps the entire ship disappeared mysteriously and accidentally entered a similar space - that's why this sea area is so calm and almost without waves."
This possibility is also very high - after all, the Ten Realms really do have various supernatural powers.
"Perhaps its so-called 'rich rewards' come from this uniqueness."
Lin Yu analyzed.
Li Nian spoke happily.
"That's a possibility... but so far I haven't seen anything worth stealing - I hope this casino will yield some rewards."
At this point, Li Nian narrowed his eyes. "However, based on common sense, there's a good chance there's something valuable here. After all, a casino definitely has vaults and VIP rooms. No matter what world or era, the rich and powerful always have valuables."
"If they get too carried away, they might even pawn their valuables. It's possible... Ah ha, I'm really looking forward to it. I hope that even though they disappear, their belongings won't disappear."
Li Nian said this and took the initiative to push open the door of the casino.
The two of them stepped into it.
Most of the automatic machines that do not require dealers are still running, and even the cards and chips on the table are scattered.
"Everyone on this ship disappears suddenly. At least that's the case with the casino."
Li Nian spoke in a low voice.
When they passed by before, Li Nian and Lin Yu had already noticed that there were unfinished drinks on the tables next to some of the lounge chairs.
And these unfinished gambles further illustrate...
The "disappearance" of these people happened suddenly.
Lin Yu touched his chin and fell into thought: "It does look like that... But, the machines are open and the chips are scattered around, maybe we can give it a try?"
When Li Nian heard what Lin Yu said, he nodded: "Okay!"
She happily picked up two chips scattered on the table, walked to a slot machine, put the universal chips in according to the prompts, and then pulled the lever.
“Clatter, clatter, clatter—!”
The slot machine was spinning. This slot machine had five rows of patterns, two more than a normal slot machine.
Lin Yu looked at the rules description - the rules had also been changed.
Three of the same still counts as a win, but it's only a small prize, called a regular "three of a kind," the lowest level award.
Three identical ones plus two identical ones are called a "gourd".
Four identical ones are called "leopards".
Five identical ones are called "Supreme".
"The rules of this slot machine actually incorporate some poker-style comparisons."
Lin Yu sighed, and at this moment, the slot machine slowly stopped - five assorted colors, apple, banana, peach, orange and pear, none of them hit.
“Beep, beep, beep, beep—↓”
The machine made a sound full of regret.
Li Nian, who was standing by, realized that he had lost, clicked his tongue lightly, and then turned his head to read the rules written next to him.
"Yeah, this rule is really novel."
Lin Yu was a little helpless when he heard Li Nian's words: "So you didn't read the rules before pulling the lever - you played without even knowing the rules!"
Li Nian laughed: "Oh, what does it matter? Will this slot machine eat people?"
"There can't possibly be a Li Hua inside this slot machine, capable of taking body parts through 'gambling'—the chips are normal, they're not [blood chips]... And to forcibly take someone's body, you need a [debt mortgage contract], so it's not something you can just do with a random slot machine."
When Lin Yu heard Li Nian's words, he also recalled...
In the [copy] of [The Feast in Heaven], Li Hua seemed to have demonstrated similar abilities.
but……
Lin Yudu didn't know the principle behind this ability.
It's not even recorded in the "Order" data.
and so……
Lin Yu looked at Li Nian in surprise: "How do you, a guy from the Free Alliance, know so much about the abilities of the Gambler?"
Li Nian looked at Lin Yu and said with a smile: "This is not a very hidden ability. Li Hua has used it many times."
"But this is a compound ability, yet you were able to directly call out the name of the [prop] he used," Lin Yu said vigilantly, "Could it be that your 'Freedom Alliance' has spies in our 'Order'?"
"Honestly, the person closest to our Free Alliance's spy in Order is actually you."
Li Nian said helplessly.
Lin Yu still stared at him.
Li Nian said helplessly, "Well, actually, this isn't hard to guess... Of course, it's because there's a guy from our 'Freedom Alliance' stationed in Haicheng who's fought Li Hua many times, so naturally he's already well aware of his abilities."
Lin Yu reacted: "'Magician'?"
"Yes, that's Brother Qian Huan. His frontal combat ability isn't that strong to begin with. Although he's a top-notch escape artist, his 'gambler' ability to catch and locate people is also quite terrifying... If we hadn't thoroughly investigated Li Hua's abilities, he would have been driven out of Haicheng long ago!"
Li Nian said seriously.
Lin Yu was a little curious again: "Why is the 'magician' so obsessed with Haicheng? Wouldn't it be better for him to move to another city and avoid Li Hua's attention?"
"We asked Brother Qianhuan about this, and he was reluctant to talk at first. But then, when he got drunk on fermented glutinous rice wine at the God of Cooking's house, he finally confided in us," Li Nian sighed. "Brother Qianhuan's grandmother... she's not just insulting, she's literally saying it. She's a very traditional Haicheng woman. If Qianhuan suggested settling in another city, she'd be so angry she'd beat him with her cane and cut off all ties with him."
After hearing this reason, Lin Yu was silent for a few seconds.
"Well, every family has its own problems."
