Chapter 307: One bet and one silence
Everyone walked forward for some distance, and when they reached an intersection, Yalang came to Ryan again.
"Why, did your waveguide power sense something again?"
Ryan asked Yalang in a low voice.
"Yes, I sensed something calling me on the street on the right." Yalang answered truthfully.
"Calling you? That should be related to the power of the waveguide, is it possible?"
Ryan recalled the plot in the previous animation in his mind. When Zhiye's Lucario was still an egg, he once called Zhiye.
So Ryan immediately asked the two directors leading the way: "What business is the main business of the street on the right?"
After hearing this, the two directors glanced at the street on the right. Although they didn't know why Ryan was suddenly interested in this street, they still introduced it:
"Reporting to Lord Ryan, this street is a unique egg gambling street in Guanhai City. Most of the streets are filled with egg gambling vendors and shops."
"Betting on eggs? Are you betting on the monsters inside based on the pattern and color of the eggs?"
Ryan asked with interest.
"Yes, you also know that the patterns of most monster eggs are not very different. If you don't know what kind of monster the parents of the monster egg are, you can only rely on the color of the monster egg to roughly classify the range of monsters in the egg."
"But this division method is not accurate. For example, a red and yellow monster egg may hatch into a rare monster like a fire fox, or it may hatch into a ubiquitous monster like the Enchanter, or even hatch out a Magikarp.”
"This uncertainty of hatching gave birth to the egg gambling industry. Unlike Warcraft stores, they will not tell you what Warcraft can be hatched from the egg. They will just put the collected Warcraft eggs together and sell them at a uniform price. "
"The selling price will be more expensive than ordinary Warcraft eggs, but much cheaper than rare Warcraft eggs. Some Warcraft masters cannot afford rare Warcraft eggs, so they will take a gamble. If they are lucky enough to hatch a rare Warcraft egg, whether it is Whether you capture it yourself or sell it to others, you will definitely make a profit without losing anything.”
Locke introduced the egg betting business to Ryan.
Ryan nodded understandingly, and then asked Locke:
"Where do those egg dealers collect monster eggs? Do they really not know what monsters can be hatched from them?"
Locke replied with a smile: "Lord Ryan is really insightful. He can see through the essence of egg gambling at a glance. Don't look at those egg gambling shops. They all say that the Warcraft eggs they sell are picked up on the road, or they are civilians who don't understand anything. It was traded to them, and they didn’t know what kind of monsters could be hatched from it.”
"Actually, there are so many ownerless monster eggs. They bought most of the monster eggs from other chambers of commerce. Of course they know what monsters can be hatched from them."
"Some shops are quite conscientious and will actually put out a few unowned Monster Eggs. Some shops that are a little too outrageous won't even display any unowned Monster Eggs. All they sell are purchased Monster Eggs. Just bet on it." , one bet and one will be silent.”
After hearing Locke's answer, Ryan shook his head:
"Sure enough, as long as the word 'gamble' is involved, there will be no one who doesn't cheat people. Won't those Warcraft users who lost the bet cause trouble?"
"They want to make trouble, but they have to have the ability to do so. The Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce is not something that ordinary Warcraft users can afford to offend."
As Locke said this, he turned to look at Director Gavin next to him.
"Oh? It turns out that the egg betting industry is the main business of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce."
Ryan also looked at Gavin.
Gavin glared at Locke angrily. He deliberately didn't speak just now because he didn't want to expose this.
After all, the egg betting industry is not glorious, and nobles like Ryan will most likely hate the egg betting industry.
Who would have thought that Locke not only told the inside story about the egg bet, but also took the opportunity to give them eye drops from Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce. He really did not miss any opportunity to undermine their cooperation with Ryan.
In order to prevent Ryan from having a bad impression of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce, Gavin could only bite the bullet and explain:
"No, you may have misunderstood what Director Locke meant. Our Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce only provides Warcraft eggs to these egg gambling shops and does not participate in the egg gambling business. I remember that the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce also sold Warcraft eggs to these shops, right? "
"Furthermore, Director Locke's statement is a bit exaggerated. Those Warcraft envoys are not making trouble because they are afraid of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce. They have no reason to make trouble. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. No one forces them to bet. They all It’s voluntary.”
"Betting on eggs can win or lose. If the bet is won, the shop will not take back the rare monsters. If the bet is lost, the monster user can only admit defeat and look forward to winning back the money with profit next time. Therefore, the troublesome monsters There are very few people. Anyway, they have magic beasts at their disposal, so at least they can’t starve themselves to death, and they don’t have to fight to the death.”
"What's more, most egg gambling shops will still sell ownerless monster eggs. After all, monster users are not stupid and will not be cheated all the time."
"There are also vendors like what Director Locke said that only sell eggs of known types of monsters, but the number is very small, and they are very smart. They will only trick some outside travelers and will not cause public outrage."
"Actually, to put it bluntly, egg betting takes advantage of people's greed and desire to get something for nothing. As long as people still have this bad nature, even if there is no egg betting industry, other industries will appear."
"Compared with other industries, you won't lose everything when betting on eggs. No matter how unlucky you are, you can still get a magical beast. If you are lucky and hatch a rare magical beast, you can also get the opportunity to cross the class."
"So the people in Guanhai City who least want the egg gambling industry to disappear are the civilian Warcraft users."
Gavin's long speech was intended to express two ideas. First, he emphasized that the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce had nothing to do with the egg gambling industry. It was just a supplier, and by the way, the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce was also dragged into the water.
Then he tried his best to beautify the egg gambling industry and change Ryan's bad impression of egg gambling.
Ryan could naturally understand what Gavin meant, but he didn't completely believe what Gavin said.
The Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce may really be a supplier to the egg gambling industry, but their identity is definitely more than that.
You must know that egg betting is a hugely profitable business, and it is impossible for the two major chambers of commerce to let this type of business go.
Especially the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce. Their main business is related to World of Warcraft. They have a huge advantage and will definitely reach out to the egg gambling industry.
Considering the information Director Locke deliberately disclosed just now, it is not difficult to guess that the supporter behind the egg betting industry is the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce.
Maybe the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce also got a share of the pie, but the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce still had the lion's share, so Director Locke would talk about the egg gambling industry.
But in fact, Ryan has no dislike for the egg gambling industry. In his opinion, the egg gambling industry is no different from the card drawing games in the previous life, which is equivalent to the Pokémon version of the blind box.
Just like Gavin said, human nature is such that they cannot resist the pleasure brought by endorphins. Even if there is no egg betting, there will be other industries related to "gambling".
After all, betting on eggs is the same as drawing cards, and there is a guarantee. In the past life, a certain lottery did not even have a guarantee. Although they knew it was a huge pit, there were still people who jumped into it with the dream of getting rich overnight.
Therefore, Ryan had no objection to the egg gambling industry. On the contrary, he was a little excited after learning that the main business on the street was egg gambling. This proved that the person calling Aaron was most likely Riolu's Pokémon Egg.
Locke and Gavin also saw that Ryan did not hate gambling. The former was disappointed, while the latter breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked cautiously:
"Master Ryan is interested in egg betting?"
Ryan nodded slightly: "I'm a little interested. You also know that I like Warcraft very much. This novel way of buying Warcraft is quite interesting. I want to try it if I have the chance."
Hearing this, Gavin was completely relieved. He smiled and said to Ryan:
"Since Lord Ryan is interested, you might as well give it a try. With Lord Ryan's luck, you might be able to hatch a rare monster."
Gavin has been mentally prepared. As long as Ryan nods and agrees, he will take Ryan to a familiar shop and ask the shopkeeper inside to lay out all the rare monster eggs to ensure that Ryan will enter the soul in one shot.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later. We can't keep the two presidents waiting for too long."
Ryan shook his head and said that he didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he should let Yalang buy the Riolu egg by himself.
"Master Ryan is right. There is still too much uncertainty in egg betting. Just tell us what kind of monster you want, and we will do our best to help you find it."
Locke interjected, knowing at a glance what Gavin was up to.
Want to win Ryan's favor by betting on eggs? no way!
"Hmph, Director Locke is so loud. Those who don't know would think that the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce owns the largest Warcraft industry in Guanhai City!"
Gavin first scolded Locke, and then said to Ryan with a charming smile:
"Lord Ryan, our Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Guanhai City. We have the Warcraft from the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, and we also have the Warcraft that the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce does not have. We can even use the mini dragon as a greeting gift, and naturally there are no other Warcraft." That’s it.”
Ryan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "I really want to find a Warcraft. I wonder if there is a Riolu or Lucario in your chamber of commerce?"
He still wanted to be prepared. If it wasn't Riolu's egg that called Yalang, then he would get Riolu from other channels.
"this"
Gavin looked hesitant after hearing that Ryan wanted Riolu.
Locke, who was next to him, gloated: "Didn't you say that the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce has all kinds of monsters? It can't even provide a Riolu, right?"
"It's as if your Yaojin Chamber of Commerce has successfully tamed Riolu!"
Gavin immediately replied.
After listening to their conversation, Ryan frowned: "What do you mean? Don't you two have Riolu?"
Locke glanced at Gavin and said that you have to explain your boast.
Gavin had no choice but to explain: "There is indeed no Riolu in our Chamber of Commerce. On the one hand, it is because there are not many Riolu and Lucario in the wild, and few Warcraft Envoys can capture them."
"Of course, this is not the main reason. The number of natural disaster cubs is even rarer, but we still have a few in stock."
Gavin never forgets to talk about the natural disaster cubs. Who asked them to give Ryan a mini dragon as a meeting gift? This must not let Ryan remember their feelings.
After mentioning the natural disaster cubs, Gavin continued to explain:
"The most important reason is that Riolu is extremely difficult to tame. Unlike ordinary monsters, whether they are captured from the wild or just hatched from eggs, they seem to be born with the power to read people's hearts and refuse to surrender to them. Bad-hearted humans bow their heads.”
"You also know that trainers who can tame monsters are ruthless people. Not only are they merciless to monsters, but they also have the lives of some monsters in their hands. In Riolu's view, the heart of a trainer There is no doubt that they are evil, and they will not surrender to their trainers even if they are beaten to death.”
"So almost no Riolu will be tamed by the tamer. Over time, we gave up on acquiring this kind of monster. After all, although Lucario is powerful, there are also monsters that are stronger than it. We can't make this mistake. A kind of monster."
After listening to the explanation, Ryan also understood the cause and effect. The co-author was that Riolu was too stubborn and would rather bend than bend, so he forced the two major chambers of commerce to give up the acquisition of Riolu.
This is in line with Ryan's impression of the Lucario clan. They are arrogant and only loyal to the trainers they recognize.
Unexpectedly, their character saved him. Although he paid a lot of blood, Guanhai City stopped acquiring them. This was not a victory.
"Master Ryan, do you want to tame a Riolu? We can immediately issue a reward for Riolu and find this monster for you, but we cannot guarantee that we can tame it."
Seeing Ryan's silence, Gavin thought that Ryan was unhappy, and quickly wanted to make amends.
"I have no intention of conquering Riolu. I just read a story about Lucario in a book and wanted to see what Lucario looks like in reality. Since you don't have any inventory, then No need to bother, I’ll just take a look at the other natural disaster cubs.”
Of course, Ryan would not let the Chamber of Commerce re-issue the bounty. The Lucario clan paid a heavy price for Guanhai City to stop acquiring them. Ryan did not want their efforts to be in vain because of his own selfish desires.
Besides, it's not like he has no other choice. The monster eggs on Egg Gambling Street are still calling Yalang.
The two directors didn't doubt him. Ryan was not yet twenty years old. Men of this age were very curious, but it wouldn't last long.
So the two directors enthusiastically introduced the natural disaster cubs of their chamber of commerce to Ryan, which made Ryan greedy.
He secretly made up his mind that sooner or later these natural disaster cubs would be his!
During the conversation, everyone finally arrived at the door of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
Different from Ryan's imagination, the exterior decoration of the Chamber of Commerce is not luxurious, but very low-key, and it looks like a larger shop.
"Lord Ryan, please come with me. The two presidents have been waiting for you for a long time."
The two directors stepped aside to invite Ryan.
But Ryan was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he turned around and said to Yalang and the players:
"Since this is a private meeting between me and the two presidents, you don't all need to follow me. Eve will stay, and the others can go shopping in the city. If you finally come to Guanhai City, consider it a rest."
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the players received a task prompt.
Everyone, don’t get involved in “gambling”. This thing is really addictive. Not long ago, I became obsessed with scratch-off games and suffered a lot of losses. Fortunately, I stopped my losses in time. Brothers, please take this as a warning.
