Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Wang Luo, who had a good upbringing, successfully obtained his own tree seeds.

The process is very simple. Wait for your number to be called. Go up to the second floor and say hello to the Ueki Messenger who is on duty. After the other party confirms that the identity is correct, he extends his hand and the Ueki Messenger connects to the Great Law, and then a seed as crystal clear as emerald, It will descend from the void and merge into the blood along the arm.

The whole process did not take more than fifteen minutes. Considering that the newly succeeded Uekishi is a talkative, kind and talkative Nanxiang native, and he took Wang Luo and chatted about Nanxiang anecdotes for ten minutes, the actual time may not exceed five minutes. minute.

And having a complete Jianmu seed means that Wang Luo is a Zhuwang citizen certified by the Great Law, a wanderer in Nanxiang embraced by the civilized world.

According to Uekishi, in today's era, being a wanderer in Nanxiang is often more advantageous than a native Nanxiang when it comes to studying and finding a job.

"Of course, I'm not a professional, and I can't be sure about the specific employment situation. So I recommend you to go to Taixu Zhaotang and look for the Tangkou of Rongcheng Furensi. They will update various recruitment information as soon as possible. It's very suitable. You are a promising young man who has just come to Rongcheng to settle down."

"However, since you have just obtained the Jianmu Seed, you should not have registered with Taixu before. Temporary visitors must be accompanied by an official Taixu Walker before they can cross the Taiyin River. So you have to go to Taixu Elementary School first. Check in at the station. There are many such small stations in Rongcheng. The nearest one is the second shop from the left at the T-shaped intersection facing the small white building. They usually sell Lishensan there, so you can choose according to your budget. Just buy it..."

Zhimu was convinced of Wang Luo's identity as a fellow villager, and his suggestions were considerate and detailed.

Wang Luo thanked him seriously and left the small white building. Following the instructions of Uekishi, he saw a colorful shop on the left side of the intersection.

Very familiar.

Not long ago, a fat man with blond hair and blue eyes marched into the store with three of his own boys.

At this time, Fatty Zhang's satisfied laughter was heard in the store.

"Hahahaha, the Stanley Martial God is mine! Next time there is a gang war, just wait until I eradicate you! Hahaha!"

Then there was a scolding voice mixed with grief and anger: "Fat Zhang, do you have any shame!? We ordered this card first!"

This voice was so familiar that Wang Luo's ears twitched.

Zhang Dun?

On the other side, Fatty Zhang’s laughter had not stopped, and the horses behind him were already shouting angrily: “You called me Fatty Zhang too?!”

Zhang Dun said angrily: "My surname is Zhang too, why can't I be called Fatty Zhang?!"

"A poor guy like you deserves to be named Zhang?!"

"Grass mud horse!"

When Wang Luo rushed to the store, what he saw was a chaotic fight with dirty words.

On one side was Fatty Zhang and three young men, on the other side was Zhang Dun and two poor friends. There were also three or two individual customers in the store, leaning against the counter and watching the show with the boss.

Obviously the scene before them was nothing new to them.

When seeing Wang Luo come in, Zhang Dun looked surprised: "Brother Wang, are you here?!"

When did I become your brother?

Before Wang Luo could ask the question, Zhang Dun raised his eyebrows, pointed at Fatty Zhang's nose, and said forcefully: "Zhang Fuhong, you are finished now!"

Fatty Zhang was stunned, looked at Wang Luo, then looked back at Zhang Dun, and sneered: "I'm done? What do you mean? Have you found another Stanley Martial God seller? Wake up, now I also have Stanley Martial God, What’s the point of buying it?”

Then his smile faded and he looked wary: "Wait a minute, are you planning to buy [True Shadow Emperor]?"

Ma Zai behind him quickly reminded: "Brother Zhang, a True Shadow Emperor card costs at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual leaves, and it's still priceless. How can those poor guys afford it? They want to buy a card with thousands of spiritual leaves." Stanley Martial God is going bankrupt."

Fatty Zhang then turned from surprise to joy: "It's true, I can't even buy the True Shadow Emperor, so why should these poor guys!? Haha, even a Stanley War God is a treasure, and they still have to raise funds and borrow money, so poor Why are you still playing Feiyuanlu!? To be honest, I don’t need a Stanley War God at all. In the gang battle in the next few days, it will be easy for me to crush you all this time. It is also convenient for you to give up the useless struggle as soon as possible and stop wasting money on picture scrolls that you cannot afford.”

After saying that, Fatty Zhang walked away with a heavy laugh.

Zhang Dun and others gnashed their teeth and acted incompetent and furious. After his back was gone, Zhang Dun came to Wang Luo and said seriously: "Brother Wang, please help us no matter what this time!"

"It's okay to help others, but you must at least explain the ins and outs of the matter first."

Zhang Dun quickly explained: "Brother Wang, didn't you say last night that we were going to fight a gang war in "Fei Yuan Lu"... The opponent is that damn fat man! His father is the big boss of Shijie, and he has a lot of money. Shijie The meat factory in Dongtou is owned by his father. He usually bullies us for more money. This time too, we originally found a seller who was willing to sell [Stanley God of War] character cards, but he found out somewhere. News, I came here and bought it at a high price in advance!”

Wang Luo nodded and said, "So you want me to help denounce unscrupulous sellers?"

"Well, that's not necessary. Although the seller did this unkindly, there are no particularly strict rules for this type of real-life transaction of character cards. The one with the highest price is not wrong. Who makes us unable to afford so much? Where’s the money…”

"It's a pity that I don't have any money, so I let you down."

Zhang Dun said anxiously: "But Brother Wang, you are sure to win the card! Although the [Stanley Martial God] is highly hyped, it is actually just a general card of a general that is one in a thousand. With your luck, if you draw the [True Shadow Emperor] or even the [Blood Demon Thirteen], which is one in a million, we can turn defeat into victory in the gang war!"

Before Wang Luo could reply, he heard a sneer from outside the door.

"Haha, turn defeat into victory? Even if you turn defeat into victory, what can you do? Can you become richer than Fatty Zhang by winning in the Taixu Painting Scroll?"

Zhang Dun was stunned and turned his head inexplicably, only to see a man in his thirties wearing a white shirt and black trousers, who was well-mannered and had a cold arrogance and displeasure on his face.

A poor friend behind him suddenly blushed: "Brother!? Why are you here? You have nothing to do here!"

"Why not me? The one thousand spirit leaves you paid were not lent to you by me? I was curious about what you were going to do with the money, so I followed you all the way, but I didn't expect that you were going to fight for a false reputation in the Taixu Painting Scroll!"

"Whether it's a false reputation or not... that's our business!"

"I'm your brother, your business is my business." The man retorted harshly, and then said in a deep voice, "I won't tell you any nonsense about elder brothers being like fathers, let's talk about the facts. . What's the point of you fighting with that fat guy? Can you earn a spiritual leaf by defeating him in the scroll? On the contrary, in order to defeat him, you even have to go around to find people to collect money! A powerful character card is just pocket money for him, but what about you? How long will it take for you to pay back a thousand spiritual leaves you borrowed from me? And even if you win this time, what about the next time? The more resources you invest in the early stage, the greater the loss will be when you lose! "

After hearing this, not only his brother was speechless, but even Zhang Dun and another friend who played "Feiyuanlu" with him also looked shaken, as if their Taoism hearts were about to break.

Seeing this, the man in white had a smug look on his face. He coughed and said loudly, "We have an old saying, 'Playthings can make you lose your ambition. Although the Taixu scroll is gorgeous and colorful, it can wear down people's fighting spirit the most. We are all still young, so don't make mistakes!"

As he said this, he turned to the shop owner who had been watching the show and said seriously, "Boss, I know that running the Taixu business is your livelihood. But I have to say that even livelihoods have high and low levels, and making money has decent and indecent differences. It's really not decent to use the Taixu scroll as a trading platform!"

The shop owner was confused by what he said, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"I am an unrelated passerby, and I was really shot even when I was lying down... Well, since you want to drag me down, I will say a few words."

As he said this, the shop owner reached out and touched his bald head, making it more shiny, and even made the man in white squint his eyes.

"Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Luo, Luo Xiao. I'm the boss of this Taixu Station. What's your last name?"

The man in white narrowed his eyes and said proudly: "Excuse me, I'm Gu Fan, senior clerk of Xinglan Real Estate."

Luo Xiao smiled when he heard it: "Xinglan Real Estate is a big company. Being a senior clerk there is really a superior person in Shijie. No wonder you said it so condescendingly. Unfortunately, it's just a talk of why not eat meat."

Gu Fan was not angry: "Please enlighten me."

Luo Xiao said: "What you just said is all high-sounding and correct. That's right, becoming stronger in Taixu will not affect reality. No matter whether the gang wins or loses, , Zhang Fuhong is a famous rich second generation in Shijie, while Zhang Dun and others are just day workers... But if the day workers don't play Taixu Painting Scroll, or even if they spend the time playing with the painting scroll to work and struggle, can they become richer than Zhang Fuhong? "

Zhang Dun smiled bitterly and said, "I am the one who earns the most among the three of us, 600 yuan a day, which is about 120,000 to 130,000 yuan a month (Gu Fan showed a look of obvious surprise and hesitation at this time) But even if I work hard for ten years and don't eat or drink, it can't compare to the red envelope that Fatty Zhang gets on his birthday. "

The boss said again: "After all, Fatty Zhang's father Zhang Yu is basically the richest man in Shijie. But If we look at the entire Rongcheng, Zhang Yu should not be ranked in the top 20, and Zhu Wang is not ranked in the top 100... Compared with those real rich people, Zhang Yu is just a small figure. And we, what are we, just ants. Not only in terms of wealth, status, or even cultivation and ability, we are all like ants! "

"That Zhang Fuhong was a waste of no knowledge in Meng Academy, but Zhang Yu donated 5 million spiritual leaves to Rongcheng Academy, so that his son could enter the outer courtyard and study Dan Ning. In the past, we had to respectfully call the blond and blue-eyed fat man Zhang Zhenren! "

"And there are more arrogant than Zhang Fuhong. There are countless rich kids! In their eyes, the whole Stone Street is just a big piece of garbage! No matter how hard the people in Stone Street work, practice, and live, they are still just ants. Not to mention competing with them, they don’t even have the qualifications to look up at them! "

"But, in the Taixu Painting Scroll, we can compete and even have a chance to win!"

"So, in order to win, even if it is just an illusory victory, what's the point of spending some money? This money can be exchanged for a relatively fair opportunity to compete, which is already worth it! What's more, every penny we earn is earned through labor! It symbolizes that we have worked hard to contribute to this world!"

"That's right, even if Zhang Dun and the others win this gang war by luck, Zhang Fuhong will definitely be able to spend money to win it back next time. But as long as we win once, even just once, it will be a big deal for us little people. It’s a miracle worth remembering forever!”

"Of course, I am a small business owner who runs a Taixu small website. Most of my daily income comes from products related to Taixu picture scrolls. I say these words as if I am trying to protect my own job... But the reason why I ran this small business in the first place is Station is because I have such a dream in my heart. I dream that even in the virtual world, I can make the world fairer!"

After the bald boss finished his speech, Wang Luo took the lead in applauding.

Wonderful.

In fact, Wang Luo did not completely agree with Luo Xiao's views, but in the past in Lingshan, his master Song Yijing often told him this: As a Lingshan person, you should never despise the persistence of others.

In the words of my senior sister: Don’t be so daddy-y, it’s disgusting.

Luo Xiao's speech was completely different in appeal and persuasiveness from Daddy Man's superior speech. Not only Wang Luo applauded, but Zhang Dun and others were also excited and high-spirited, wanting to beat their chests on the spot. , looking up to the sky and roaring.

As for Gu Fan himself, his face turned green and red. He wanted to refute, but he seemed to be at a loss for words. In the end, he could only say "Rotten wood cannot be carved" and ran away.

After Luo Xiao succeeded, he retreated, sat back behind the counter, and drank the Lishen Powder with a cup of hot tea. His mind wandered too weak.

Zhang Dun gasped and came to Wang Luo and said solemnly: "Brother Wang, I know that a capable person like you will definitely look down on the illusory things in the Taixu scroll... But I really beg you this time, help us! This gang war is not just for a fight, but also to protect our most important home, which dozens of our brothers have worked hard for two years. Nian’s home! But Zhang Fuhong just took a fancy to our spiritual veins and wanted to attack him. He also said that after winning, he would raze all our buildings to the ground! So we must not lose this gang war! "

Wang Luo was silent for a moment and said, "I can help."

Zhang Dun was stunned, then overjoyed: "Really!? Brother Wang, you..."

"But my senior sister once told me not to enter the casino, so I can't help with the issue of drawing cards."

Zhang Dun said anxiously: "I know that good luck comes with a price, so I will never let your efforts go in vain, Brother Wang! Our gang has saved five thousand spiritual leaves to buy [Stanley Martial God], and we can give them all to you! As long as you can help us Just draw one [True Shadow Emperor]!”

At this time, Luo Xiao couldn't help but be curious, put down his tea cup and asked.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhang Dun immediately told Wang Luo's record of four draws and four gold medals in "Yu Ling" last night with great excitement, causing a gasp of air-conditioning in the store.

An unrelated spectator frowned for a long time, shook his head and said, "What kind of outrageous story is this? Are you daydreaming after drinking too much?"

Luo Xiao was also puzzled: "How could such a thing happen!? Are you getting anxious and daydreaming about the sinking of the ship?"

Zhang Dun was immediately unhappy: "A bunch of ignorant people, I will make you kneel down and call the King God later!"

Wang Luo, however, was not interested in being worshiped by others: "I said, I won't gamble."

Zhang Dun suddenly felt like a hundred claws were scratching his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Luo Xiao became interested when he heard this: "Brother, you are wrong. Drawing cards from Taixu scrolls cannot be regarded as gambling. The commonality between the two is nothing more than the investment of real money. There is randomness in winning and losing, and there are participants. Profit expectations. But if the Taixu picture scroll is classified as gambling based on this definition, then the military operation of the Nanxiang Dinghuang Corps to encircle and suppress the desolate beasts is also a waste of real money and military expenditures, with great uncertainty in the outcome. There are huge profits. Is it possible that those martyrs who fought against the famine should be regarded as gathering for gambling?"

Wang Luo frowned: "You are just changing the concept."

Luo Xiao said: "Strictly speaking, it's not that I am changing my mind, but that we, the Golden Deer Hall, and even the Great Law are changing my mind. Look at this..."

While talking, the bald boss pulled out a thick book from behind the counter and explained: "This is a book jointly issued by the Department of Law, Department of Commerce, Taixu Department and Qingping Department under the Golden Deer Office on various business matters. A collection of laws and regulations, there are strict regulations on which industries are considered gambling and which are not, and Taixu Scroll is not gambling at all!”

Wang Luo became curious and raised his hand to flip through Luo Xiao's collection. He saw that the complicated and detailed legal provisions clearly distinguished gambling in the traditional sense from card drawing and other activities in the Taixu scroll. . In essence, as long as the virtual props in the Taixu picture scroll cannot be directly exchanged for real money and silver through the picture scroll's operation workshop, then no matter how many resources Taixu Walkers invest in the picture scroll, it will only be a simple matter. consuming behavior!

As for virtual friends trading cards in real life in exchange for real money, that can only mean that I wish you a strong business atmosphere, frequent private economic exchanges, and a happy and prosperous situation!

Luo Xiao added: "In fact, if we really want to define it strictly, lottery is also considered gambling, but..."

Wang Luo waved his hand: "I won't draw lottery tickets, but I already understand what you mean. Well, strictly speaking, Taixu Picture Scroll should not be defined as gambling, so senior sister's ban on me It’s invalid.”

Zhang Dun immediately rushed over like a pet dog who heard the meal was served, his eyes lit up: "Brother Wang, about the card draw..."

Wang Luo added: "But I also want to state in advance that my good luck is not omnipotent. First of all, it cannot come out of nothing. For example, the merchant did not put the prize in the prize pool at all, so of course I can't make it out of thin air."

Zhang Dun nodded repeatedly: "I understand, but I can't stop the card pool from fraud, but this doesn't matter. The workshop that operates Feiyuanlu is the largest scroll workshop in Zhuwang, so it still has some credibility. Whatever is said in the card pool must be there."

Wang Luo said: "Secondly, the essence of luck is the transfer of resources. If someone is lucky, someone must be unlucky. Luck. I see that the probability of winning in the card pool of Taixu Painting Scroll is mostly determined. So if I win more first prizes, it must mean that others will win less... and this kind of plundering behavior will inevitably bring backlash. "

Zhang Dun's excitement froze slightly: "That is to say, after winning three golds in a row, you may be disabled by the shuttle the next day?"

Wang Luo thought about it and said, "It will be complicated to explain it in detail, so you can also understand it this way."

Zhang Dun then looked at his two friends, and the three of them looked at each other, each showing a look of determination.

"Brother Wang, we are not afraid of disability! Please help us draw the True Shadow Emperor!"

At this time, Luo Xiao's interest also reached the extreme, and he persuaded: "With the usual luck of these people playing Feiyuanlu, and the experience of being crushed by various local tyrants, it is not too much to give them a True Shadow Emperor... The premise is that you can really draw it. "
