Chapter 347 Unexpected Fortune
[Pheasant: This big guy is terrifying! If I encounter him after the servers merge, will he just kill me and turn me into roast chicken?]
[Azure Wolf: Don't worry, you're a law enforcer. He can't harm you while you're enforcing the law.]
[Pheasant: What if I'm not enforcing the law?]
[Azure Wolf: Then you'd better be careful. Knowing Bill's personality, he might just roast you alive.]
[Pheasant: ╥﹏╥ No! I don't want to be roasted alive!]
[Honey Badger: One human and you're this scared? Pheasant, you're such a coward.]
[Pheasant: No, he's not human, he's a demon! He's more terrifying than a demon! I've never seen anyone as cruel as him!]
[White Fox: Is that Bill really that scary?]
[Pheasant: This is terrifying! Fox, you wouldn't believe it until you see it. He practically takes pleasure in killing. And not only does he kill, but he also cruelly tortures his victims beforehand. One person insulted him, and he ripped out that person's tongue, then used some kind of healing potion to make it grow back, only to rip it out again! It grew back and was ripped out again—that person was literally tortured to death! He has many other methods of torture, and he kills people he's never wronged! He's a complete and utter demon!]
[Pheasant: This is terrifying! It's really terrifying!]
Hyena: Coward.
[Pheasant: I'm just an ordinary chicken. My life changed drastically the day I was captured by an evil human… No one understands my suffering. But I don't resent that evil human at all. After all, I'm a magnanimous chicken.]
[Azure Wolf: I think you're a crazy chicken.]
[Pheasant: Humans are too dangerous. Please pray that future server merges don't end up merging with that demon.]
[Honey Badger: It seems like the server merge is coming soon, right? This time, many surviving players from smaller countries will be moved to other servers. It'll be exciting to have players from different countries in one server. As for the North American players you're worried about, whether they're from their country or China, there are still many players surviving in other servers, so they won't be merged for now.]
[Pheasant: Ah, another server merge? When?]
[Honey Badger: It'll be in the next day or two.]
Pheasant: Oh.
The group chat then moved on to other topics.
Meng Qingyin's eyes flickered.
Another server merge?
According to [Honey Badger], their country of China still has many districts and will not merge with districts of other countries.
As for that Bill from the American server they were just discussing...
A deranged killer who enjoys torturing people?
This person must be very strong. When the servers merge, they will inevitably face strong players from other servers. Wherever there are people, there will be fighting.
She doesn't actively seek trouble, but she's not afraid of trouble either.
She wouldn't let anyone bully her or her friends if they crossed her.
She is no longer the workaholic she used to be, racking her brains to come up with reasons to ask for leave.
Meng Qingyin is not anxious about the upcoming merger of districts.
Just as she was about to close the chat, someone sent her a message.
Upon closer inspection, it was a winter plum blossom.
Hanmei didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly: "To discuss a business deal?"
Mengmeng: "What kind of business?"
Hanmei: "You know about me running a gambling den, right?"
Mengmeng: "I've heard about it, but what does this have to do with business?"
Hanmei: "It's like this, one day your team didn't go to the tower, and the players were very curious about why, so I took the opportunity to start a betting game. Now many players have joined in and are waiting for the betting to begin. I want to know, what exactly was the reason you didn't go to the tower that day?"
Meng Qingyin also recalled the many speculations she had seen, never expecting that they would even set up a betting pool for it...
Mengmeng: "You guys are so boring."
Hanmei: "If it's profitable, it's not boring."
Meng Qingyin nodded unconsciously; that was indeed true.
If it's profitable, players will definitely flock to it.
But...gambling is risky.
There are gains and losses.
Mengmeng: "You placed bets too?"
Hanmei: "No, I'm just the bookmaker. As long as I can find out why you didn't go to farm the tower, I can make money."
Mengmeng: "What are your reasons? Tell me about them."
Hanmei: "Do you also want to place a bet?"
Mengmeng: "That's right."
Hanmei: "Sorry, the betting period has ended. We're just waiting to find out the final reason."
Mengmeng: "Oh, I see. Now that I've told you the reason, what's in it for me?"
Hanmei: "We'll split the profits fifty-fifty."
Mengmeng: "The reason is that we had something to do that day, so we didn't go."
Hanmei: "Could you elaborate a bit more? Otherwise, this is just too perfunctory."
Mengmeng: "Uh, you can think of it as a gang fight."
She knew that what happened that day wasn't appropriate to discuss openly, so she came up with this excuse.
Hanmei was shocked: "What? There are players in this area who dare to mess with you?"
Meng Qingyin mumbled, "Yes, but we beat them all into submission."
Zhou Xingdu has already entered Zai Zai's belly, so how can it not be considered that he has subdued them?
Hanmei's gossip instincts were completely ignited. "Who are they? Can you tell me who those people are? Zhou Haihai? Or that blockhead?"
Meng Qingyin said helplessly, "None of them are you. You don't know them."
Hanmei: "Okay. Then I'll go earn some money."
More than half an hour later, Hanmei transferred 500 gold coins to Meng Qingyin.
Meng Qingyin, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and forwarded it to the small group after receiving it.
Mengmeng: "We made a windfall. Everyone contributed, so everyone got a share."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "What unexpected fortune?"
Mengmeng: "Hanmei started a betting game using the reason we didn't clear the tower that day, and asked me why."
Mask: "I knew about this too, but I didn't expect Hanmei to ask you directly."
Mengmeng: "Yes, we've collaborated a few times."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Don't split the red envelopes equally, it's no fun. @Mengmeng, how about we change it to a lucky draw red envelope?"
I'm unlucky: "Are you sure you want to change it to a lucky draw red envelope?"
I'm the luckiest person (poor man's version): "Of course, my luck is unbeatable right now!"
Mengmeng: "Does everyone agree?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Alright, let's change it to a lucky draw red envelope system. I want to see how much money Lu Cheng can snatch."
Mask: "Exactly, he's incredibly arrogant, daring to claim he has unparalleled luck?"
Chen Leying: "I have no objection."
The elderly man said, "I have no objection either. Come on, let's test our luck! This old man has always had good luck grabbing red envelopes."
