Capítulo 2080: Chapter 2077: The Grand Gamble
The ‘gamblers’ present have long focused their eyes on the table symbolizing the Grey Realm – Sharnoth.
This is also the largest regional game since the “ultimate game” began.
The perfectly scaled model showcases the entirety of the Grey Realm at the massive table, with even its vertical structure clearly visible.
In the Grey Plains near the world’s entrance, town buildings representing the Penny Family have also appeared,
and everything in Sharnoth is placed as different pieces on the corresponding positions.
Pieces of different materials and abilities can indicate the individual’s rank, and focusing on them reveals basic attributes, personality traits, and ability types.
the piece corresponding to Han Dong is quite special,
the only monarch piece made from two different materials on the field,
carved from ordinary dense stone, representing the [Pseudo-King].
The cloak covering Han Dong and the piece’s base is made from high-grade dense stone, representing the [Upper Position].
The base is also engraved with the name Valen Nicholas – ‘Lord of Grey’.
The betting methods for large games are diverse,
the most basic being the outcome of this war, adhering to the absolute fairness principle, with odds of [1:1].
Additionally, bets can be placed on different battlefields and individuals,
for instance, during the war, when the Penny Family’s “Matchstick Man” encounters a Demon of the same tier head-on,
Mr. Eugene, the game manager, will objectively provide odds based on their combined abilities, current state, and environment.
Currently, the curtain on this large game has been raised.
The attention of most terminators is focused on Nicholas, disguised as [Grey], mastering Sharnoth.
Although most terminators objectively feel that it’s unreliable for the young Nicholas to lead Sharnoth.
Grey is an irreplaceable existence in the entire S-01, and having a young Pseudo-King disguise it is simply absurd.
those who have experienced recent games have suffered losses due to this Nicholas… as long as Nicholas is involved in the game, Grey will unhesitatingly bet on him, ultimately winning a large number of Land Deeds.
Together, those Land Deeds are enough to establish a second Sharnoth.
Now, they are also willing to try their bets on this young man, wanting to experience the thrill of a Black Horse winning unexpectedly.
at a certain side of this large game, there are two special guests who are not from S-01,
and their eyes also reveal an absolute interest, even containing a hint of excitement.
Original-101, Miss Leng
Original-003, the drooling person
They have already experienced several small and medium-sized games before the large one.
Due to the perfect replication and 100% synchronization with the actual battlefield,
there’s a wonderful feeling of playing a real tabletop game while gambling,
and the keeper of the table game is the omniscient Mr. Eugene, whose perfect game management easily immerses the participants.
After experiencing several games,
both the reserved Miss Leng and the thoughtfully-minded Shui have mostly succumbed.
Having been imprisoned in B.B.C for so many years,
even counting their life experiences before imprisonment, they’ve never had such an interesting experience; every game, big or small, sends their hormones skyrocketing.
they currently haven’t lost any of their chips but have instead gained an additional 8%.
In some extremely exciting moments, they almost forget their identities as Out of control folks and invaders, forgetting the important mission they bear on their shoulders,
their minds slowly seeing themselves as gamblers in the Chaos Casino.
In front of the [Sharnoth] table,
Shui, in full excitement and serious mode, with a samurai hairstyle, his gaze sharp and no longer drooling,
makes it possible for Miss Leng to get as close as possible, sticking close to him, discussing the betting strategies for the large game.
‘These Demons are indeed almost insanely ‘faithful’, even when the rulers are absent, they still maintain the original rules, still allowing the three [Kings] to jointly invade.
However, the Grey Realm only has two Upper Rank present.’
They look at the Upper Rank pieces on the table,
one corresponding to the Black Pharaoh at the top of the pyramid, Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveIꜰire.net
the other randomly wandering in different areas of Sharnoth, the Night Howler,
at this moment, Miss Leng, gazing at the impostor’s piece, suddenly recalls something.
“Wait a minute! Nicholas… that guy looks a bit like the one who once broke into B.B.C, causing Mr. Teacher’s Third Incarnation’s direct death, [Han Dong].
Simultaneously, also the special youth who wasn’t killed by Goodman during the Mandros incident.
That’s right! It should be him,
my mirror caught his appearance back then, with the same Faceless trait as the inhabitants here.
How special is this guy? As just a Pseudo-King, he gets acknowledged by terminators, and the entire realm is entrusted to him?
Very strange… we need to examine this game from its roots and not place bets carelessly based on apparent strength.”
Listening to Miss Leng’s analysis,
Shui also recalls the events that happened in Mandros, equally astonished that someone like Goodman couldn’t kill a young man.
In the zone, Shui is a completely different person from his usual lazy self.
One hand rests on his chin,
while the fingers of the other hand rhythmically tap on the table,
his moist eyes scan the entire table, and he sucks back the saliva about to drip from his mouth again,
“Hiss~ Be careful with your bets.
Leng… not to mention personal bets for now,
for the basic war outcome, which side do you think has a better chance of winning?”
“On the surface, of course, our side has a higher chance of winning.
The Penny Family directly relocated their physical territory to the war zone, indicating they will give it their all… although the death of the “Razor Man” will reduce the family’s aggression to some extent, it’s not a major issue.
with the presence of a being like the Queen personally on the battlefield, in terms of overall strength, she should be on par with you, Shui?
And Mr. Teacher can control the overall situation well. As time progresses, more Demons will turn into his Students… Meanwhile, the teacher is also good at strategizing, serving as a military advisor.
As stated before, we also have an advantage in the number of Upper Ranks, and their strongest member is absent.
No matter how you look at it, our winning probability is greater.
Unless… there are hidden variables in the dark that we don’t know about.”
Miss Leng and Shui did not place their bets immediately but planned to observe for some time before placing their wagers.
Sharnoth, in some restroom
Gazing at the Pope, formed from starlight, and the Black Hole in his chest.
Han Dong can intuitively feel the rapid growth of the Pope recently… seeming to forcibly take a step forward on the path of a Pseudo-King.
“Nicholas, this time I came here according to the teacher’s request, I also got a rough understanding of the situation from the teacher, you now…”
Before the Pope could finish speaking.
Han Dong immediately raised his finger, placed it in front of his mouth, and interrupted:
“Pope, do you want to go read some books together?”
