Chapter 297 The Gambling Table, the Mask
Many players were eager to enter this map and used their "money power".
On the morning of the fourth day, Meng Qingyin woke up to find that the number of people on the new map had reached more than two hundred.
Lonely Square 3: "Good morning, good morning to all the new map family members!"
Luca, heavily reliant on it: "Nobody told me this map was a money pit, it sounds like it's going to cost a fortune..."
Witch Nao Nao: "It doesn't have to be that complicated, it really is expensive! They even charge for air and sunlight, don't you think that's terrifying? And it feels like there will be even more things to charge for."
Ami Tuotuo: "What gives me the creeps is that 'money is everything'! Money can buy everything, so... what about human life? Can it be bought with money too?!"
Brewing Gourd: "I don't think everyone needs to panic too much. As for the concern upstairs about spending money to buy life, this is very common in any map before. How many people kill to steal treasure? It's just that this map points it out directly."
Chu Wen Dong Luo Xue: "You're all players who bought three days of management fees from Han Mei, right? You can afford such high management fees, you must all be very wealthy."
I'm a lucky winner (poor guy version): "How much did you spend?"
[My nickname]: "1 gold coin, the three-day management fee is 1 gold coin. I was thinking of trying to get the reward for being among the first two-thirds to enter the map, so I gritted my teeth and bought it. I didn't expect that only a little over two hundred people would enter. And what about the reward? It seems there isn't one."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Is it possible that the reward isn't a specific item?"
Zui He Meng: "That's right, that's right! Didn't you guys notice this new setting that allows you to exceed the target mileage? Now if we save up more, we can directly exchange it for coins!"
"But vehicles consume fuel, and who knows if the coins we exchange later will be enough to cover the fuel costs?"
Qingfengling: "There are other benefits too. You have a chance to get coins when you open chests, and there are lots of fruits and vegetables along the roadside. The scenery is also beautiful. Isn't this more comfortable than the previous map? Currently, the premise is that not all players have entered this map."
Leng Yanchen: "Does anyone have a gambling table?"
Xiting: "A gambling table? What do you need a gambling table for?"
A-Zhe: "Because the 'Gold Coin Guessing Game' is a ten-player game that takes place at a gambling table. Only the first one hundred players to enter the map receive this reward."
Mask: "I have a 'gambling table'!"
Lonely Square 3: "Masked Brothers, pull me up! Let's go together!"
Lazy Sheep isn't lazy, but he's terrible at it: "Masked Master, pull me up!"
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Mask Master, pull me in! Pull one and get six free!"
Mask: "I have a 'gambling table'!"
Lucky Egg Fish Roe: "Please pull me!"
Mask: "I have a 'gambling table'!"
Strangely enough, "Mask" kept posting in the chat that he had gambling tables, but he didn't seem to invite any players, as if he hadn't seen any of those messages asking to be invited.
In the group chat, Lu Cheng was very puzzled: "What's with this mask? It's completely ignoring people while keeping shouting. What is it trying to do?"
Zhang Yan: "Maybe he's showing off that he has a gambling table?"
I am the lucky one (poor man's version): "Old Zhang makes a lot of sense."
Zhang Yan: "Thank you for the compliment, Lao Lu, you're not bad either."
I am the lucky one (poor man's version): "Thank you for your kind words."
The two finally stopped arguing and started praising each other again.
As for the "gambling table," Meng Qingyin just let things take their course. Anyway, there's no time limit for the [Gold Coin Guessing Game], so she can take her time finding it.
She continued accumulating "mileage exceeding the target," and also plucking all the fruit trees she encountered along the way.
Unexpectedly, two hours later, Fei Qiu suddenly sent a message in the group: "There's a gambling table now, I'll add you guys to the team."
Then, Meng Qingyin received his message about forming a team.
Without hesitation, Meng Qingyin clicked "confirm" and quickly joined the team.
To her surprise, the captain was wearing a mask.
The other two are Zhao Lan and Lonely Square 3.
[Captain] Mask: "Give me the fare, 5 silver coins per person. Trade directly to me, and I'll deduct 1 after you pay."
[Team Member] The Lonely Square Root of Three: "111"
[Team Member] I'm Unlucky: "I'll cover the transportation costs for the six people I brought in."
Meng Qingyin originally wanted to say that she could pay for the transportation herself, and that she couldn't let Fei Qiu pay for both the money and the effort.
But before she could send a message, she received a notification that "the captain invites you to the gambling table".
She decided to leave it at that for the time being, thinking she would give it to him after the game was over.
She clicked "confirm," and the next moment she was teleported to the location of the mask, or more precisely, to a round table next to the road.
Ten people sat around the round table, most of them familiar faces, including "Lonely Square 3" whom I had met a few times before.
In the middle sat a young girl with a long ponytail and a fox mask on her face, obscuring her features.
As for how we knew she was a teenager, it was because her clothes and style were more youthful, and the skin on her arms was smooth, elastic, and looked very young.
"Mask, you're actually a girl?" Lu Cheng exclaimed in surprise.
The mask nodded slightly, and the voice beneath the fox mask was a clear, girlish voice: "Yes, let's begin."
Lonely Square 3 pointed at Zhao Lan: "She hasn't paid the fare yet."
Just now, "Mask" said to deduct 1 from those who have paid the fare, but Zhao Lan hasn't deducted it yet.
The masked woman turned and glanced at him. "She doesn't need to pay."
Lonely Square 3 stared wide-eyed: "Why? You're treating me differently!"
The "mask's" tone remained that of a clear, girlish voice, but there was a hint of impatience in it: "She helped me. Alright, get your coins ready and guess, the game is about to begin."
Once the square root of three understood the reason, he didn't ask any more questions, and everyone was ready.
[Captain Mask invites you to a game of "Guess the Coin" - Do you agree?]
Without exception, everyone clicked "confirm".
The rules of the "Gold Coin Guessing Game" are as follows: Two piles of gold coins will appear on the table with a random number of coins. After one minute, players must choose to "Win the coins" or "Split the coins equally." Players who choose "Win the coins" will receive the corresponding number of coins. Players who choose "Split the coins equally" will receive the coins split equally. The system will distribute the coins according to each player's choice.
The rules were simple, and everyone understood them after hearing them only once.
The challenge lies in figuring out how to acquire more gold coins.
Soon, two piles of gold coins appeared on the gambling table.
One pile contained 2 gold coins, while the other pile contained 10 gold coins.
At the same time, options and a countdown appeared in front of the ten people.
[Please choose to receive 2 gold coins, or split 10 gold coins. Countdown: 0:0:59.]
The atmosphere at the gambling table immediately became lively.
