Chapter 236: White Orchid Rain Festival (XVIII)
Half an hour ago, Yizhihua had just completed the pawn ticket with the president of the Corpse Driver Guild, and swept away two-thirds of his personal skills in one fell swoop. The feeling of returning with a full load finally dispelled the sense of loss she had gotten from the first two customers.
Meanwhile, she finally saw the last of her first group of guests.
After the other party slowly looked into his eyes, he did not show any surprise, or even any extra emotions. He just sat calmly on the chair and closed his eyes.
What does this mean? Passive confrontation?
It was the first time that Yizhihua had seen such a customer, but judging from the other party's temperament, he didn't seem to be a brainless person. Just when Yizhihua's patience was exhausted and she was about to speak.
Finally I realized that the man didn't just close his eyes to rest, or refuse to make a wish, but seemed to be using some kind of skill of his.
Because golden light began to appear on his body, circling from his head and wrapping around his body.
The Gambler's Guild President was indeed using his skills. After he first heard the pawn shop's description, he quickly associated something with it. At that time, he wanted to use his skills to confirm something, but failed.
Until he opened his eyes again in this space, he knew that he didn't have much time, so the moment he woke up, he closed his eyes again and solemnly asked the first question in his heart.
"If I want to pass the screening and trigger the side quest, then what is the chance that the other party will take away my personal skills when I make a wish?"
The personal skill of the Gambler President is that he can ask questions and get the probability of an event, just like a gambler. This is the origin of his title, but as a gambler, he can get the exact probability before something happens.
Since the side quest had not been triggered and he had not seen his companions, it was easy for the Gambler's Guild President to think that this was just a screening.
The instructions of the pawn shop have already made it clear that if the wish is too great, the price one needs to pay will only be greater, and the Gambler's Guild President can easily think of what is the most precious thing for the players.
That's why, in the moment he woke up, he didn't have time to look at a flower, but asked the most important question first.
After a moment, the golden light began to converge from his body and finally fell into his clenched hands.
Open your left hand 90% and your right hand 10%.
If you want to pass the screening, you have to make a very important wish. There is a 90% chance that the pawn corresponding to this wish is your personal skills.
The face of the Gambler's Guild President completely sank. This result was similar to what he had predicted, a very high probability, but not 100%. This meant that there must be more valuable pawns, or there was a way to prevent personal skills from being taken away.
There was a gleam of sharpness in his dark eyes, as if he had thought of something.
"If my personal skill enters cooldown before I make a wish, what is the probability that I will be used as a pawn by the other party?"
He had no time to care about the condition of the flower and asked himself the second question.
The left hand opens 0%, and the right hand opens 100%.
Although he was not sure whether the pawnshop owner would confirm his pawned items in some way, this answer clearly explained some situations.
That is the owner of the pawnshop, who can only judge the pawn items based on the player's current situation after making a wish. In other words, once one's personal skills enter the cooling time, the other party can no longer use one's personal skills as pawn items.
Of course, in this case, there is an even more unpredictable situation.
That is, the system will never do anything that will lose money, which means that the owner of the pawnshop will definitely take something of greater value from him, and he will not lose his life. The Gambler's Guild President can only be sure of this.
As long as you don't die and don't lose your personal skills, everything will be fine.
In just a few seconds, he seemed to have made up his mind without any delay.
Yizhihua saw how busy he was and the two numbers on his palm, so she could probably guess what he was doing, but she didn't stop him.
He just raised his chin and said, "Your skill looks pretty good. Is it related to probability?"
She seemed a little interested, but this interest only lasted for two seconds, and she lazily flicked her tail, "Probability is meaningless if it is not 100%. Even if it is 99%, there will still be a 1% exception. I bet that even if you know the probability of certain things, you still can't avoid them."
She didn't know whether it was the pragmatism of the Gambler's Association President that made Yizhihua feel a little interesting, or whether it was the fact that he was quite quick-witted, which made her pay a little more attention to this guest. She said this in a listless manner.
The tone is not strong, nor does it sound like he is trying to persuade the other party, but more like stating a fact.
"Then let's make a bet?" The gambler's guild leader, who had his eyes closed, responded after hearing this. His own skills were in this area, and he was also provoked by a flower and started to rebel. "You don't mind waiting for me for a while, right? Anyway, the monk can run away, but the temple cannot."
The number of times his personal skills can be used has not been used up yet, and he still needs to confirm a few things. Under Yizhihua's teasing tone, the Gambler's Guild President calmly bought time with the other party.
"Two minutes."
This was the longest time a flower could endure. She left behind three words, flicked her tail, disappeared from the sight of the Gambler's Guild President, and suddenly jumped into the pure black space.
It's like a fish that stays in one place for too long and needs to move around, but the space where a flower moves is not water, but the boundless black space.
The gambler's guild leader did not bargain, two minutes was enough.
The last three questions did not waste much time, but the results were not as good as he expected.
So when Yizhihua came back here within the two-minute limit, the Gambler's Guild President was already sitting upright, waiting for her for a long time.
"What?" A flower came closer, its long green tail floating in the air, like an aurora hanging in the sky, incredibly beautiful. "Have you figured out your own destiny?"
She made a rare teasing remark, and it was obvious that her initial curiosity about the Gambler President's skills had long disappeared. She didn't even wait for the other party to answer, and she had already thrown out a green bubble to cover the other party.
The Gambler Guild President ignored her deliberate teasing. Instead, he remained calm and let the bubble cover him. He said directly, "I want to make a wish. I want a piece of the faith totem fragment from the young lady."
He used the definite article very well and rigorously. After all, he had to consider the consequences of the pawned items, so he held back and ate until he became fat.
But in fact, it has something to do with the probability of the three questions he finally confirmed.
After all, this copy contains the two pieces of Faith Totem Fragments promised by the system. Even if the Gambler Guild President is stupid, he should first ask if he can get these two pieces of Faith Totem Fragments by using wishes.
But unfortunately, the probability of certainty is only 3%. The gambler president is just called a gambler in title, he is not a real gambler and he will not choose to gamble big.
Since the wish for the fragments of the faith totem did not work, the second question from the Gambler's Guild President was about making a wish to become a saint, but the probability of this happening was only 5%.
So in the end he had to set his sights on the fragments of the faith totem that the eldest lady already had, and this time the probability was as high as 50%.
He had no chance and could only give it a try. With 50% of his wishes, he could get a piece of the faith totem fragment without any effort. This was simply a huge temptation.
Yizhihua didn't care at all about whose item his wish contained. This wish was within her ability. Besides, it was the first time she met such a bold customer who didn't want to pawn his skills.
Yizhihua smiled from the bottom of her heart, "If I had known you would be so interesting, I should have chosen you as the first guest today. After all, it's good to have a good start."
She flicked her tail, and the green bubble burst. At the same time, a pawn ticket appeared on the table.
"I can fulfill your wish, but do you know what you are about to hand over?"
Yizhihua then looked carefully at the person in front of her. The other person's appearance was not the focus for Yizhihua. She was just suddenly a little curious and wondered how long the other person's body could last.
The Gambler's Guild President had already noticed the pawn ticket. Because of Yizhihua's tone, he felt a little panic in his heart for the first time in a long time, and he was very overwhelmed about what he needed to hand over.
After a moment, he finally noticed what was on the pawn ticket.
On one side it said, "A fragment of the totem of faith from the eldest lady," and on the other side it said, "Stay in the pawn shop for life."
He muttered to himself as he was startled and felt a tingling sensation in his fingers.
"Do you feel any regret?" Yizhihua smiled, then spread out her palms innocently, "It's a pity that you don't have the chance to regret."
The Gambler's Guild President admitted that he had not considered this and was indeed frightened by the pawn, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Normally, the wish should have been fulfilled, but he did not hear any reminder from the system.
In other words, Yizhihua cannot unilaterally take away other people's things without seeing the eldest lady.
"When will this pawn ticket take effect? What if I don't sign it? When will you fulfill my wish? The moment you fulfill it, will I be forced to stay here?"
This was a matter of life and death, so the Gambler Guild President did not dare to be careless and confirmed the details with Yizhihua.
"If you have to wait until I leave here before you can get the fragment of the young lady's faith totem, what will happen then?"
There was a gleam of light in Yizhihua's eyes. The man in front of her was indeed not simple. It was obvious that he was shocked by the result, but he quickly calmed down and tried to find every opportunity to save himself.
"The moment you expressed your wish, it took effect," Yizhihua pointed to the pawn ticket on the table, "It's just like completing the process, or you can try to see what the consequences will be if you don't sign it?"
Yizhihua didn't mean to scare him, as if it was really just a suggestion. "The moment I give you the fragment of the faith totem, can I ask you to stay here forever? After all, I will have fulfilled your wish by then. As for how you deal with it, it depends on my mood. To be honest, I can't wait."
That means there is still time. The Gambler's Guild President is not stupid enough to ask what the other party will do if they cannot get the fragment of the faith totem in the eldest lady's hand?
Just as he did not refuse to mark the pawn ticket with his own blood, because he always remembered the pawnshop's rules.
Especially when I saw Yizhihua also left a mark on the pawn ticket with the fishtail, the system’s constraints on the content written on this pawn ticket were mutual.
If Yizhihua couldn't get the fragments of the faith totem from the eldest lady, then he naturally wouldn't need to exchange any pawn items. It would be the other party who failed to realize her wish first.
If a flower is really obtained, then from now on, the Gambler's Guild President must start preparing for his future situation.
He would not give up lying down until the last moment.
Besides, if he really has a piece of the totem fragment of faith in his hand, then other players will think of some way to protect the things in their hands, even if not for themselves.
Half an hour later, after listening to Yizhihua's narration, Nan Huan obviously understood the intention of the Gambler's Guild President immediately.
"He's really smart. If you can't get it, he'll live. If you get it, he'll die with something useful in his hand."
Nanhuan had no expression and gave a comment.
She had just mentally counted the four guild leaders who had come in, and thought that the person who made the wish was a gambler, but she did not expect that the other party was much more perceptive than she had imagined.
"What does it mean to be trapped here forever?" Nan Huan believed that he and Yizhihua were basically on the same front now, so he asked without any hesitation.
But before Yizhihua could speak, the system spoke first.
[Only the owner of the pawnshop can know the secrets of the pawnshop, and it must not be disclosed to other unrelated persons.]
Yizhihua had obviously heard this, and the rules had clearly poisoned her even more. It took her a long time to point at her tail and whisper to Nanhuan, "Do you really have a way to solve this?"
Nan Huan had tried it just now and confirmed that she could absorb the iron chains formed by the black gas, but she was not sure how much black gas there was, so she did not answer directly, "We will know after trying it, so my wish should be fulfillable, right? What is the next step?"
Nan Huan was eager to try, rubbing his hands, and when he saw the black space in front of him, he felt a sense of satisfaction that this world would be his from now on.
Yizhihua wanted to explain to her that being the owner of a pawn shop was not so easy, but on the one hand, the rules had already restricted her from communicating such things, and on the other hand, according to the rules, she did not receive any prompt from the system for this wish, which was beyond the scope of the prompt, which meant that there was no room for maneuver.
She didn't say anything else, but just flicked her green tail, the green bubble burst, and a pawn ticket appeared in front of Nan Huan.
But this pawn ticket seems a little different from those of other customers.
Normally, when the guest has expressed his wish, if it is within the ability of Yizhihua, the moment the ticket appears, the content on it will be determined, but it will have some dark energy that others cannot see.
This process has never been a problem.
No, that's not right.
Yizhihua thought again and remembered that a problem had already occurred when they were at Beixi's place just now. At that time, the pawned items could not appear on Beixi's body, so he wrote the pawned items on his body himself, and it seemed that he was affected by some kind of force.
But fortunately the result was good and the ticket was signed smoothly.
However, within a short period of time, the second mistake occurred.
This time the entire pawn ticket was blank. Not only was there nothing on the pawn ticket, not even the items that had been decided upon.
To be precise, the moment the black gas formed the words and fell on the pawn ticket, it disappeared in an instant as if there was a shock of wind.
Nan Huan ignored the stinging pain in his fingers and looked at the pawn ticket in front of him with disdain, "Is your office process so confusing?"
Yizhihua almost covered her face with her hands, but finally had to face Nanhuan's gaze and ask, "Is there something wrong with the wish? This problem has never occurred before."
Her wording was very accurate, but the fact that such a problem had never occurred did not mean that other problems had not occurred.
She felt like a bad boss who urgently needed to sell her store. She tried her best to conceal all the problems about the pawnshop, just wanting to trick the new owner in as soon as possible.
Before Yizhihua had time to despise herself, she heard Nan Huan ask again, "What should the normal process be like? What should I do now?"
She held up her pricked finger, looking speechless.
"How about signing it and giving it a try?"
The current owner of Yizhihua lives like an intern.
Nan Huan had no choice but to write his name on the pawn ticket using the fingers of his student student.
In an instant, her blood began to spread along the pawn ticket and fell into the blank space, as if she was fighting against some kind of force invisibly and won the victory very easily.
Because in the next second, Yizhihua saw that the power that banned the black air seemed to disappear. Nanhuan's blood directly pulled the black air, and black characters appeared on the pawn ticket one after another, forming Nanhuan's wish and the pawn that Yizhihua wanted to take away.
As the last word fell, a flower eye moved quickly like a dragon's tail, and a green mark was left on it.
【bite--
The pawn ticket has taken effect. Congratulations on becoming the new owner of the pawn shop. The ownership of the pawn shop is being transferred...】
As the system prompt sounded in Nan Huan's mind, the narrow space in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a strong cold wind blew towards him.
Tables, chairs and other things disappeared in an instant.
The black space in front of him was infinitely expanded, and Nan Huan floated uncontrollably in the air, face to face with Yizhihua. However, due to Yizhihua's long tail, which was much larger than a normal person's body, Nan Huan looked a little petite.
Nan Huan was not used to this kind of passivity, and after a moment he transformed into wings to ensure some sense of security.
Until a large piece of soft white silk appeared between the dragon and the man, as soft as a handkerchief and pure white.
Nan Huan touched it lightly with his hand, but passed through it directly. It was like a water curtain without any specific shape.
While she was puzzled, the system continued to speak.
[To become the new owner of the pawnshop, you must sign the following blood contract with the system. ]
