Urban Sims

For more than half a year after that, Zhou Ming didn't look for her again.

It was true that Long Shengguang wanted to deal with him. The two slave bodyguards sent a message privately, telling him that Long Shengguang was collecting information about him and wanted to deal with him.

Lan Mengxin also revealed to him that her father is a very powerful gamer, and his gambling skills rank among the top 10 in the entire upper-level area, so you must not play games with him, or you will die miserably!

A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. As a spiritual clairvoyant, Zhou Ming had to pay attention to Lan Mengxin's reminder.

So for more than half a year, Zhou Ming was busy with one thing while also thinking of ways to deal with Long Shengguang.

Rescue Lan Mengxin!

He thought of many ways, but there was no better way except using slave potion and constantly breaking into the interior of Longlan Castle.

Slave potion works well on human bodyguards and can make them obedient, but what about security robots? It has no effect on robots, and the medicine cannot be injected.

As for Longlan Castle, there are more than 500 security robots!

As well as the 23 small castles in the surrounding area, most of them are actually Long Shengguang's vassals.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Ming would be very bold not to run to the game city to hide from the limelight.

And for more than half a year, he had not seen that woman, which made an unspeakable thought linger in his heart, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger like old wine with age.

Every cloudless night, standing on the high roof of the castle, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, listening to the endless waves, a figure always flashed in his mind from time to time, and finally entered the long-lasting of freeze-frame.

"Dream Heart..."

A name came out of his mouth involuntarily, and his heart stung slightly.

Why does this happen?

Why do you miss someone so much?

Zhou Ming murmured to himself, the wine in the glass became a little bitter, and his mood at this moment suddenly became a little sentimental, which is difficult to describe.

Even occasionally, he would have a strong impulse that made him want to immediately fly to her side in the plane he had just learned to fly, talk to her, or... take a look at her.

Why is this happening?

Zhou Ming asked himself again.

He shook his head. It wasn't that he was being awkward, but that he really couldn't describe the feeling.

love?

No, this kind of thing is too fake, Zhou Ming has long disbelieved it.

Friendship?

No, pure friendship cannot reach this level.

What exactly is that?

"Maybe it's an indescribable emotion, a spiritual bond that transcends material, interests, love, hate, etc...."

Because...that woman knew what he was thinking.

In the communication between the two of them, sometimes there is no need to speak, just look into her eyes, and she will respond with eyes of approval, criticism, or comfort.

Zhou Ming found the first person who completely understood him and understood him.

In front of her, he never had to explain the cause and effect of anything.

All it takes is a glance.

In just a few dozen days with her, the psychological trauma he suffered in countless experiences in different copies was slowly being repaired and healed...

She is my spiritual companion and the physician who heals my soul.

Zhou Ming needs her.

Because he doesn't want to become a monster with no emotions, no desires, and ultimately no humanity.

…

Dragon Blue Castle.

When she saw Zhou Ming again, Lan Mengxin was startled, and then said anxiously: "Why do you dare to come here? Go back quickly, otherwise you will be in danger!"

"Your dad is out today and is not in the castle. Can you come to my place to play?"

Zhou Ming looked at the woman and said, he found that after not seeing her for more than half a year, she had obviously lost weight, her eyes were empty and filled with a thick air of death, and now she gave the impression that she was one step closer to being a walking dead.

Lan Mengxin shook her head repeatedly and said: "I can't go. If I go, you will be in trouble. Leave quickly! Don't worry about me anymore!"

A hand grabbed her arm forcefully and pulled her outside the castle. As he walked, he said, "I want to show you something. I'll be right back after you finish it..."

"Why are you so disobedient?"

Lan Mengxin was pulled helplessly, and she frowned and complained, but was finally pulled onto the plane by him.

…

In front of the renovated Fort Hope.

The scene in front of her made the woman open her mouth wide, tears glistening in her eyes, she covered her mouth with her hand and made a whimpering sound.

Exactly the same.

It's exactly the same as the castle she designed in the painting!

The flower garden in front of the castle, the wooden bridge over the creek, the windmills on the coast, and the new painting after the building becomes thinner.

This man turned her dream into reality.

"Why are you doing this? You should know that reality is cruel, why do you still pretend to be so beautiful? It's useless, you can't save this world, you can't save me!"

The daughter squatted on the grass and cried loudly.

Zhou Ming's lips moved, not knowing what to say. After she cried for a while and was almost done venting, he walked to her side and said firmly: "I may not be able to save this world, but I can save it." you!"

"you--"

The woman raised her head and looked into his eyes. After seeing something beyond her expectation, her face was stunned and she said, "So you have found a way to deal with my dad..."

Zhou Ming nodded: "But I still need your cooperation. If I am alone, it is impossible to defeat your father... Don't you want to be free?"

"I……"

The woman hesitated for a while and then said: "I can help you, but I have a condition."

"What conditions?"

"Don't kill my father, give him to me."

"OK, alright."

…

This morning.

After going to other areas to do things, Long Shengguang returned to Longlan Castle.

He was in a good mood and his face glowed.

This trip was a huge harvest!

The old opponent with whom he had been competing for many years, with equal strength, was finally beaten to the 18th level of hell by him in the final zero-sum game.

Won a total of 80 million yuan.

"He is old, but he thinks I am old too, and thinks he can win me over. Haha, go to hell to win me over!"

At this time, the old housekeeper came over and said in his ear: "Master, that boy is here again, and he is in the castle."

"The boy is finally here?"

Long Shengguang's eyes lit up, and he planned to send someone over in two days to "invite" the boy to the castle.

It's better now that he has thrown himself into the trap.

Now more than 50 million yuan will be credited to the account.

In fact, when Long Shengguang first sent people to investigate the boy, he didn't know how much he was worth, and the boy was not a gamer. His information could not be found in the game system and could only be found through other channels. , and after some effort, he calculated his net worth.

More than 50 million dollars!

When he first heard this number, Long Shengguang was a little stunned. With so many, did he add an extra zero? It would only be five million at most, right?

That kid was just a promoted person who had just entered the upper-level area a few years ago.

How come there is so much money?

But after confirming that the boy indeed had so much wealth, he originally just wanted to get rid of this somewhat annoying boy, but now he wanted to kill him even more.

Today, that boy even took the initiative to deliver it to my door!

"It seems like good things come in pairs."

…

Longlan Castle, in the living room.

Zhou Ming, who had drank two cups of tea with Long Shengguang, stood up and proposed the idea of ​​saying goodbye.

"Uncle Long, it's getting late. It's almost time for me to go back."

"Xiao Zhao, don't leave in a hurry. Come with me. Let's go to the game room upstairs and have a gamble." Long Shengguang also stood up, his eyes flashed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said: "No, no, I'm not very good at gaming, so let's forget it."

"Xiao Zhao, play with me for a while and then leave. Don't worry, it will be over soon and it won't take up too much of your time."

After Long Shengguang finished speaking, several bodyguards with unpleasant expressions walked into the living room and blocked Zhou Ming's escape route.

Seeing this formation, Zhou Ming said helplessly: "Well... okay, let's play a game with my uncle."

…

On the tenth floor of the castle, in the gaming hall.

There was a startled voice.

"Uncle Long, you said you want to play a 'zero-sum game' with me? This...this, please stop joking. In a zero-sum game, I am your opponent. Let's play with smaller cards. Xiao Bet Yiqing .”

"Hmph! Who are you kidding? Boy, what we are playing with you is a zero-sum game! Don't pretend to be stupid, boy! I have sent people to investigate your details. You have made nearly 50 million in the past few years by betting on games. , and won Rogaby 2 million, now it’s time for you to spit out the money.”

"But... isn't it true that zero-sum games can only be initiated between gamers with a net worth of more than 10 million? I am not a gamer, why should I play a zero-sum game with you? Sorry Mr. Long, I think I can go back .”

"Walk?"

Long Shengguang sneered: "You can't leave. Since you have entered the game hall, if you want to leave before finishing this game, you can only be taken away by the clearer... The money instrument in your hand Have you received the message? In five minutes, the zero-sum game between the two of us will officially begin."

The money instrument is a property management device issued by the money bank to every customer who has deposited money in the bank. It is somewhat similar to the "baobao payment" in Zhou Ming's world, and through the money instrument, some payments, transfers, You can also receive some notification messages for operations such as payment collection, which is very convenient.

"Didi~"

As expected, the money instrument on Zhou Ming's wrist vibrated, and a female prompt came: The money in your account has been frozen, and together with other assets, it has been converted into chips for the zero-sum game. After the game is over, change the contents of the account again. of money belongs to.

This news shocked Zhou Ming and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? I didn't agree to this game at all, so why did the game start?"

He yelled at Long Shengguang: "Long Shengguang! What the hell have you done? I'm not even a gamer, how can I agree to your zero-sum game?"

"Haha, kid, you haven't even heard of the Ultimate Gamer, have you? Unfortunately for you, I am an Ultimate Gamer!"

What?

The ultimate gamer?

Hearing this term, Zhou Ming's face turned pale and his body instantly shrank.

The ultimate gamer is the collective name for the small group of people who are at the top of the gamer group in terms of their gaming skills.

In the entire upper area, the number of ultimate gamers does not exceed 10.

This type of gamer has such superb gaming skills that almost no one in the gaming circle dares to offend them, so they have very few chances to take action.

Just like in some martial arts novels, people with first-class martial arts skills may dare to challenge them, but those second-rate and third-rate masters, as long as they are not tired of living, are basically unlikely to actively seek death or provoke others. A peerless master.

In the same way, even though Long Shengguang is very famous in the gambling circle, it is basically impossible for him to find someone to gamble and win other people's money into his hands.

Because in front of the God of Gamblers, those players with average gambling skills, no matter how good they feel about themselves, will not naively think: I can defeat the God of Gamblers, and I can win all the money in the God of Gamblers' hands.

Invincibility is not only lonely, but under the aura of invincibility, it is also difficult for you to make money.

Fortunately, the "Gaming Law" stipulates that any gamer with a net worth of more than 500 million will automatically be promoted to the "Ultimate Gamer" and receive an exclusive right:

That is, you can find three opponents at will every year and issue the right to play a zero-sum game. Regardless of whether the opponent agrees or not, as long as you know the opponent's worth information and enter the game hall, the zero-sum game can begin.

Therefore, this rule is undoubtedly an opportunity for the ultimate gamers: the opportunity to deprive three people of their entire wealth every year.

So when Long Shengguang said that he was an "ultimate gamer", Zhou Ming, who found himself in a trap, was almost paralyzed with fear on the spot.

"Boy, I only have three opportunities a year. I used one on your head today. You should feel proud enough. Don't waste time. Come over and play. At the very least, our chips are the same... maybe , you have a one in ten thousand chance of beating me."

After hearing this, Zhou Ming, who was originally trembling, his legs were not shaking so much now. He cheered up, clenched his fists, mustered up his high morale, and sat on the chair next to the gambling table.

Yes, the provision in the "Game Law" is indeed unreasonable, but it does not deny the weak a chance to make a comeback.

Because there is another provision in the "Game Law": when a high-status person initiates a zero-sum game against a low-status person, the amount of chips of both parties will be the same, and the game is fair.

In other words, in this game, even if Long Shengguang's net worth is more than ten times that of Zhou Ming, the amount of chips the two have on the gambling table is exactly the same.

Both are 55 million.

One represents Zhou Ming's entire net worth of 55 million, and the other represents 55 million of more than 500 million... At this moment, the values ​​are equal.

The card-dealing machine began to deal cards, and the more conventional stud game officially began.

Looking at the pile of chips in front of him and the confident Long Shengguang sitting opposite, Zhou Ming, who had just finished a weak performance, still looked flustered and nervous on his face, but he was sneering in his heart. :

"Long Shengguang, do you really think you will win without a doubt?"
