Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 181: The leader of the umbrella
Change first and then change.
Su Lun went all the way to the Wilderness Hunting Guild.
Probably because he is a lone hunter, no one greets him, but for others, as long as there is a team, there are some butler-like people who keep coming up to ask.
When we arrived at Storm Manor, the scene was even more lively.
Most of the previous light curtains were private tasks or small-scale recruitment.
There are now a lot more "Legion Recruitment" on the light screen.
The chaebols in the inner city have spent a lot of money to directly put bold messages on the top, blinding people's eyes.
The conditions offered by the major families for entry fees, settlement fees, and paid repairs are better than the last, and they all want to recruit experienced and capable hunters and teams.
It looks like a job fair held by major companies recruiting workers.
Normally, those in the inner city looked down upon the civilians in the outer city who risked their lives to hunt for wilderness, but now they have become "talents" that are being robbed by the major plutocrats.
Although the equipment and combat power of the hunters may not be as good as the elite groups in the inner city, their hunting experience is real. Especially in this crisis-ridden Dawn Ruins, experience means survival rate.
Su Lun failed to squeeze in, so he took a look from a distance.
The top information ranking on the light screen is basically the ranking of the strength of the inner city families.
The richer you are, the more you shoot in the front.
The Reyes family alone accounted for seven pieces of information. The seven families that were previously split were all present, with the main family ranking first.
Then there are twenty or thirty first-class plutocrats like Oliver, Clark, and Rockefeller.
Following this are hundreds of second- and third-rate chaebols in slightly smaller fonts.
The information is similar. All major chaebols are spending heavily to recruit various hunting groups, capable and experienced hunters.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the purpose of the Duke's Palace's national hunting mission is very clear, and it is definitely not to let these big money go through the motions.
Bringing so many masters from the inner city here must be for hunting.
If there is a forced allocation of wilderness hunting tasks, the ladies and gentlemen of the chaebol family may even be forced to "explore the ruins".
It is obviously not worth risking your own life and that of your direct descendants, so it is better to recruit some hunters.
Although it will cost some money, if you encounter danger, the loss will be smaller and the survival rate will be higher
Su Lun’s eyes flashed frequently, scanning the information on the light screen.
He analyzed the recent trend of lie hunting.
Obviously, the progress of land reclamation is getting faster and faster.
The central area of the ruins has already been led by a Tier 3 strongman
But the help they encountered seemed to be quite large, not to mention the fact that there was a top-notch leader who had not reached the central city for half a month. The names of certain large hunting groups that were still at the forefront are gone.
That situation means that you either earn enough and go back, or the group is destroyed.
Then as he looked around, Su Lun actually saw a code word in the advertisement column.
"Mr. Hei, are they looking for me?"
Su Lun looked at the date when the information was released one day ago.
There is no other contact information and it doesn’t seem too urgent.
Su Lun deciphered the content, and there was only one address written on it: Baixiang Gambling Stall.
“We made an appointment at a gambling stall, it’s not like Mr. Black’s style”
That kind of old gentleman will definitely not go to certain places, such as Fengyue Pavilion and casinos.
He thought he had deciphered it wrong, but he looked carefully and saw that it was still the same address.
Is it a password cross-talk?
No, this is not a universal password, but an agreed password.
Su Lun didn’t think about it and decided to go and have a look.
There are "nouveau riche" born every day in Liming Camp, so there will naturally be no shortage of gold-selling outlets such as gambling stalls.
Su Lun has no interest in gambling, and there is no arena here, so he has never been there.
I don’t know why gambling stalls like to open underground. The owner of this "White Elephant Gambling Hall" just dug ten meters into the ground and built a large underground casino.
When Su Lun came, the place was bustling with people.
Nearly a thousand people were crammed into the small gambling stall.
In the semi-enclosed space, smoke was lingering, and the air was filled with the weird smell of sweat, cigarettes and psychedelic drugs.
It is no different from the gambling stalls on Green Street in the past. Slot machines, pinball machines, roulette and other machines are crowded in every corner of the gambling stall.
There are many gamblers sitting in front of the machine. The coins click and click, and the handle is pulled, and various noisy sounds enter the ears.
There is also a poker table in the central area
There are still scantily clad gambling stall girls.
Su Lun exchanged some chips at the front desk surrounded by iron nets, pretending to be a gambler and blended into the crowd.
He didn't act like he was looking for someone. People who don't look like gamblers are the most unwelcome.
He saw a gambler just leaving his seat, so he sat in front of a slot machine with interest, put in his chips, and then pulled the handle at will.
“哐丁~”
The scroll rotated and then stopped on several fruit patterns.
Su Lun has stayed in Green Street for a long time, and is a mechanic himself, so he is no stranger to these machine structures.
This kind of programmed machine looks irregular, but it actually has certain skills.
Hitchhiked a few times and made a small profit.
But he is not here to gamble.
Thinking that under normal circumstances, Mr. Hei's elusiveness would have found him soon and come to meet him.
But I didn’t think about it, I’ve won a lot of chips in my hand, and no one has come yet.
Su Lun felt a little puzzled. Maybe the news was out of date?
Thinking about it, he got up from the slot machine and decided to go to the gambling stalls.
There are several blackjack machines and dice machines in the hall, and there are a large number of gamblers.
“9 o’clock, 9 o’clock, 9 o’clock”
“Haha, twenty points, a sure win!”
“”
The gamblers are shouting at the top of their lungs for the good cards they want.
Su Lun walked around casually and didn't see any familiar faces, but he also caught some guys with excellent behavior.
“The people in the umbrella organization seem to be at a low level”
He placed his bet quietly and had some guesses in his mind.
He learned a lot about the secret codes and identification methods within the Umbrella organization from Sabina.
Looking at the professionals from the umbrella organization, Su Lun didn't think they were here to catch him. If there was any action, Sabine would have to remind herself.
“Is it possible that Mr. Hei didn’t show up because he was targeted by these people?”
Su Lun thought this way.
However, not long after, he was immediately slapped in the face.
Because, he saw an acquaintance
Beside the basement hall, there are several small halls, which are VIP halls for big customers to gamble. Although the door is not closed, there is a screen covering the gaming table, and a certain chip threshold is required to enter.
Su Lun didn’t see anyone at first, but was attracted by the familiar voice.
“It’s a stud!”
“Follow!”
“Four Aces! Haha, your gourd is not that big!”
“”
Su Lun felt so familiar when he heard that voice.
He muttered with a strange expression: "Sister Senjo?"
It turned out that it was not the password left by Mr. Hei, but the young woman addicted to gambling.
At this moment, Su Lun’s doubts immediately became clear.
No wonder we chose to meet at a gambling stall
No wonder I waited for a long time but didn’t see anyone
It turned out that she had finished her gambling and was waiting to find her.
Su Lun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He walked over like an old gambler and threw a chip to the waiter guarding the door coolly.
Even though I didn’t measure out enough chips, I went in smoothly.
The gaming table behind the screen was playing Texas, with a total of seven gamblers.
When Su Lun came, he was watching the gambling-addicted young woman happily clearing up all the chips on the table.
Look at the number, at least several million.
Such a large stakes bet does not allow spectators. When Su Lun walked over, the girl opened the door for him and asked him to take a seat.
Su Lun sat on it naturally, then gave the girl a chip as a tip, and said, "Exchange me for three million chips."
The blonde smiled and said, "Yes, sir."
Suddenly there was one more person. Several other people at the table glanced at Su Lun, but no one said anything, playing with the chips of the first deal.
Only the nervous gambling-addicted young woman seemed to be still immersed in the joy of winning money, and she didn't seem to recognize Su Lun, who had changed her "charm value 12".
Su Lun knew that Qianjou was good at this, and he had no intention of spoiling her pleasure.
Originally, he planned to make a few bets, but as soon as he sat down and glanced at the face of a middle-aged man who had his back turned to him, Su Lun immediately realized that the situation seemed not good.
“It can’t really be that guy”
Su Lun's face remained calm, but he was thinking about how to deal with the conflict in his mind.
Having it been any other person, he probably wouldn’t be so dignified, but this is the one.
If it is really what he thinks, then it will be very difficult.
At this moment, the private room girl came over carrying a tray.
She bowed and put the chips on the table, smiled sideways at Su Lun and said: "Sir, your chips are here"
Su Lun tilted his head towards the girl and showed a scumbag smile, "Thank you."
While speaking, he handed over another chip and inserted it into the girl's low-V career line. His actions seemed frivolous, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the middle-aged man wearing glasses, who was third on the left.
Top masters have extraordinary perception, and it is easy to catch the changes in their emotions when you look at them.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Su Lun was glad that he was careful enough, and his heart sank: "It's really him! He didn't come for me, could he come for Qiantiao?"
The girl smiled, winked at Su Lun, and left the gambling table
The other people at the gaming table didn't seem to mind waiting for half a minute.
The dealer shuffles the cards and a new game begins.
Su Lun behaved in a normal manner. He occasionally looked at the people on the table, just like a normal gambler would do when observing his opponents.
Although there was an "untouchable" character on the card table, he didn't panic at all.
After observing for a while, Su Lun found that the person was not coming for him.
He didn’t bother to remind the gambling-addicted young woman opposite.
Qianjou looks very nervous, but his actual combat intuition is astonishingly sharp.
Suellen knew that she recognized herself.
Furthermore, it is very likely that she also discovered something unusual.
Things seem a bit complicated.
Su Lun felt that they were most likely involved in an "accident".
The game is still going on,
Su Lun has harvested all kinds of miscellaneous abilities, and his card skills are not bad.
After a few rounds of cards, more than three million quickly turned into more than four hundred.
This is the temptation of Texas. "Stud" can make people rich quickly, and they can also empty their chips at any time.
Qiantiao's luck didn't seem to be bad today. She had nearly 10 million chips piled up in front of her.
The reason for such a big bet is not simple.
After a few rounds of poker, Su Lun also roughly identified the identities of the people on the card table.
Other than a few wealthy businessmen who looked like wealthy people in the inner city, and a middle-aged man with eyes that he thought was problematic, the most suspicious thing was a blond man wearing overalls and a white shirt.
Although he is dressed gorgeously, his urbane ruffian temperament cannot be concealed.
He might be out there, but at a gaming table of this size.
This guy seems to be unlucky. He never got good cards. He lost all his previous chips in a few rounds and even made up five million.
However, this round, Su Lun saw the problem.
The middle-aged man with glasses seemed to be particularly targeting the blond man.
After the blind bet, there are hundreds of thousands of chips piled on the bottom of the pot.
The dealer dealt the cards, and the three public cards were the J of Spades, the 3 of Spades, and the A of Spades
Three spades, it's obvious that someone knows how to make a flush.
The probability of stealing a chicken is very small.
After just one round of following, Su Lun Qiantiao and others all discarded their cards.
There are only two families left, the middle-aged man with the eyes and the young man with blond hair.
The blond man: “One hundred thousand.”
Su Lun glanced at the slight frown at the corners of the blond young man's eyebrows and knew that the cards in his hand were not for flushes. That guy is not very good at poker, but when he gets a good card but not too big, he will unconsciously make these micro-expressions.
The man with glasses on the opposite side was very calm and steady throughout the whole process. He lightly added: "Five hundred thousand."
The blond man hesitated for a moment, "Follow."
Seeing this, Su Lun guessed that the blond man's hand had a high probability of having two pairs of cards. Only then did he know that the opponent was betting on a flush, but he couldn't bear to give it up.
He probably wanted to bet on the "AAABB" full house card.
At this moment, the dealer dealt another 4 of diamonds.
The wrinkles at the corners of the blond young man's eyes are getting tighter, obviously this card is useless.
At this time, the middle-aged man with glasses was aggressive and added: "One million."
There is no wave in the tone, and it looks like it is the same.
This time, the blond young man was in a dilemma.
He has invested nearly one million in this game, and he will lose money if he folds.
But if you want to see the fifth card, you need at least one million.
He looked at the man with glasses across from him and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, uncle, are you trying to scare people?"
The middle-aged man with glasses responded calmly: "Look at the cards first, then put in the chips."
“”
At this point, a flash of anger flashed in the blond man's eyes.
Then, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he pushed out nearly three million chips in front of him, "Stud!"
First anger, then stud
A bit cautious, but not too clever.
Su Lun looked slightly sideways when he saw this, thinking: "This is a bit interesting. But what does this guy win? A thousand dollars?"
At this moment, he suddenly realized something, and his eyes fell on the gold coins that the guy was playing with.
Although the blond man has been playing with the gold coin, the change in his momentum just now is in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the gold coin
Have an appraisal.
【Tabad’s Lucky Gold Coin】
Description: Did you get it? No, you lose everything.
Curse characteristics: Using the curse power in gold coins can bring you good luck; but after using this good luck, the closest people in your life will suffer bad luck; and the user will become more and more dependent. , if you don’t apply it, your luck will get worse and worse;
Detailed explanation: This is a cursed ancient gold coin; in the mythological period, a **** created this bad luck gold coin to punish one of his descendants who was addicted to gambling;
Su Lun narrowed his pupils slightly when he saw this, and smiled in his heart: "I really want to pay a thousand dollars. If this guy knew who he was facing, he would probably regret his actions."
Naturally, you don't dare to use tricks. There are masters in this gambling stall.
But there are thousands of cursed objects, which makes it difficult for people to guard against them.
The middle-aged man's eyes were still very calm: "Follow."
Then, the dealer is the villain, and the last card is "J of Clubs".
Because there was stud, there was no final round of betting, and both sides showed their cards.
The middle-aged man's eyes are spades K and spades 9, which is indeed a flush.
The blond man excitedly threw out his hole cards, a J and a 3. Together with the hole cards, it became the "full house" of JJJ33.
He seemed very happy and wanted to gather the chips in front of him, "Haha, I didn't expect that I was so lucky that I actually won the full house."
The middle-aged man with eyes lost money, but he didn't care at all. A smile suddenly overflowed on his yandere face: "Yeah, you're lucky, Blanco"
“you”
When someone called out his name, the blond man's face changed suddenly.
He didn't even mean to quibble, he had no hesitation at all, he reached out and took out the pocket watch on his chest and pressed it.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down several times in his eyes, and everything around him became slow motion.
I jerked away from my seat and was about to escape from the gambling stall
"A-class, no, it's the newly promoted S-class wanted criminal, "Lucky Star" Blanco? ”
Su Lun finally knew who this person was.
This guy has been committing crimes frequently recently. He intercepted and killed an eldest son of an inner-city plutocrat family and a wealthy businessman, and then he was listed on the S list.
At this moment, in Su Lun's field of vision, he suddenly felt that the speed of the blond young man suddenly increased sharply, and he was about to leave like a ghost.
This speed is something even a second-level fully-sensitive assassin cannot achieve.
Su Lun was not amazed at the speed, but saw the silver pocket watch he had just taken out.
【Watkins' pocket watch】
Quality: Gold
Description: Disturbing the order of time has serious consequences. Do you want to try it?
Curse characteristic: By pressing the pocket watch, the user can gain 2 to 5 times the time acceleration of the user; but if you do not master the law of time, then using it will randomly shorten your life by a part, maybe one second, maybe It’s a hundred years;
Detailed explanation: The proud work of an ancient alchemist named "Whitey Watkins", it was originally a family heirloom given to his children;
Su Lun looked at it and muttered in his heart: "This guy has a lot of treasures"
Those who can be on the S list naturally have some tricks.
However
What a pity.
If it were someone else who was pursuing him, with the ability to accelerate time, Blanco would have been able to escape.
But he was facing this person who had no chance of survival.
Because the man with the eyes is none other than the leader of the umbrella organization, "Forensic Doctor" Servais Gerald!
