I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 236 235. Who comes first and who comes later?

Olga had not reacted to the consolation of the two people in front of him, but when he heard the question from Inesa, he immediately became alert and grabbed the butler's arm as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Yes, Randolph, we have been friends for many years. If you win this game, please introduce Lloyd to me. You know, this is the third time I have lost everything..."

This immediately caused dissatisfaction from the boss Inesa, who immediately retorted:

"You lost so badly that you don't even follow the principle of first come first served? Do you still have any manners and shame?"

"Hehe, the 'reader' you found yourself is not good, so you want to borrow someone else's 'reader'? You are also worthy of shame? Do you think they are your male favorites?"

"Male favorite? Hearing you say that, it seems not bad... This little guy is very good-looking and has a great figure. Even I am a little moved?"

"You shameless slut!"

"You old bastard who can't afford to lose!"

Seeing the two quarreling inexplicably, the butler could only rub his eyebrows with a headache, then raised his left hand and made a gesture of 'inviting to dance'.

A space crack randomly appeared behind him, and his armored "dance partner" walked out of it.

Seeing this scene, the other two bosses finally calmed down.

Both of them specialize in the [Story] route and have not set foot in the [Projection] side. If a conflict breaks out in reality, they will not be able to compete with the housekeeper of the dual cultivation route.

Seeing that the scene was quiet, the butler said helplessly:

"You are like street thugs and shrews."

The two big guys also said helplessly:

"It's not that we have forgotten the demeanor, but it is related to the most important [transcendence]. Demeanor is useless. Do you like to keep losing and be a stepping stone for others?"

"I don't know how many twenty years I have left to lose. Maybe when we meet again next time, I will be an indescribable monster."

The butler could only sigh and sigh:

"Alas... the [transcendence] method of our system is still a little too cruel..."

Then he waved his hand, sent his "dance partner" away, and continued:

"I can understand your feelings, and I don't mind Lloyd helping you, but he is not my disciple or subordinate. He and I have a normal friendship. I will respect and protect his personal wishes."

These words can be regarded as loosening up, tacitly allowing the two big guys to ask Lloyd for help in the next gambling game.

This made the other two people happy, and their faces looked better.

But before they could be happy for a second, the butler poured cold water on them again:

"It's just that it takes twenty years to prepare a bet. With Lloyd's talent, it's impossible for him to wait for you for twenty years. I believe he can definitely break through the fifth level before that...

Don't think about those crooked thoughts. I won't allow him to wait for you for twenty years. Lord Demani and Lord Tiltus of the Brilliant Cult won't allow it. Even the veto saint won't allow it!"

According to the rules of the 'bet', the 'reader' must be below the fifth level, so the butler's words blocked the two people's delusions, to prevent them from kidnapping and imprisoning Lloyd, or signing some disgusting contract with them.

But the two bosses were not disappointed by this, but laughed at each other.

"Randolph, it seems that you still underestimated us. This may be because you lost too little. I remember that you only lost once?"

"After all, he has to spend more time and energy on the [Projection] route, and he doesn't have to devote himself to it like us."

After hearing this, the butler seemed to realize something and asked quickly:

"You... are you..."

"It does take twenty years to prepare a 'bet', and it takes countless efforts and resources, but who says we can only prepare one 'bet'?"

"Yes, without [Projection] as an aid, we can only invest more on the [Story] side."

Seeing the two men laughing triumphantly, the butler realized his previous thinking error.

These two guys actually prepared two 'bets' at once?

But he thought about it again and realized that this was actually very reasonable.

The embodied strongman who specializes in the [story] route, once he loses the bet and loses the [story], he will also lose his reliance. Before rewriting a new [story], he will be as weak as a low-level shrimp.

I have the power of [projection], so of course I won’t worry too much. Then these two, of course, also have their own bottom line and reliance, otherwise what kind of seventh-level strongman is he?

"Even if I lose this game today, I only need 2-3 months, and I can go to the table again. If I can get the help of my little cutie Lloyd, I can also be promoted to the eighth level."

Big brother Inissa said with a smile.

Big brother Olga also laughed, narrowed his eyes again, and asked:

"I also only need 2-3 months, so who should go first and who should go later? In this case, the earlier the better, right?"

To win the "bet", in addition to a strong foreign aid, of course, you also need to gather all the "gamblers" who can go to the table, otherwise you can't start the game.

The seventh-level circle of the [Extended Reality] system is not large, and news spreads easily. Once others know that there is a cheating 'reader' like Lloyd, they will probably not come to the table. Even if Lloyd does it again Being awesome can't help.

These two big guys are both old gambling dogs. Of course, they understand that they must seize this critical window period and win this crucial round before others know about Lloyd. So, 'who goes first and who comes last'? 'has become a focal point again.

So Boss Olga directly spread his hands, pretending to show off his cards, and said:

"Since my old friend Randolph has no objection to my direct contact with Lloyd, then you and I might as well be more direct and fight for our family and financial resources."

Boss Inisa did not answer in a hurry, but first took out a pair of dressing mirrors, looked in the mirror, and rubbed the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes to make herself look a little younger and more beautiful, and then replied:

"Okay, arguing won't solve the problem anyway. Instead, it will make Randolph laugh. So it's better to be more direct."

After saying that, the two of them looked at the housekeeper together and asked in unison:

"Will you keep today's events a secret?"

The housekeeper smiled, spread his hands and said:

"In order to be able to serve this time, I spent a lot of money. Besides, unlike the two of you, I come from a wealthy family..."

The implication is obvious enough.

So the three of them began to bargain over the 'hush money'.

As for the other two 'readers' who are still working hard in the [story], no one cares about their situation at all.

Because everyone knows that there is no suspense about the outcome of this gamble.

Although under the restrictions of the [contract], the 'author' cannot disclose the story information to the 'readers' in advance, but it is not a big deal if he wants to bypass the [contract] and let the 'readers' he chooses recognize his [story] Hard thing.

Like the housekeeper, he had already prepared a beautiful and lovely 'Everol' for Lloyd at the beginning of the [story]. As the plot progresses, he can also meet the beautiful and generous 'Miss Desda'.

Anyway, as long as Lloyd can wake up, he will definitely be able to tell whose story this is.

Of course, this trick is also accompanied by great risks. The 'reader' may further become a character and indulge in it on a deeper level because of these familiar characters and things, which will be self-defeating.

Therefore, the butler's arrangement was somewhat of a gamble, betting that Lloyd would wake up in time.

After all, the last time he invited Lloyd to experience his [story], he also made such arrangements and prepared 'Everol' and 'Miss Desita'.

Obviously, he made the right bet.

Lloyd never disappoints!

The housekeeper was extremely happy and couldn't help but sigh secretly:

Who would have thought that this little flower seller would be so good that even I would be surprised?

It seems that the prophets in the Eternal City are also extremely powerful and awe-inspiring. Otherwise, I would not have followed the 'fork in the road of destiny' and chosen to come to the Brilliant City. I would definitely not be what I am today. .

The housekeeper was thinking secretly while continuing to bargain, as if he was paying every penny. He had already decided that the hush money would be 50-50 with Lloyd later.

This young man is worth continuing to invest in!

……………………

At this time, Lloyd, after reviewing the newly acquired knowledge in his mind, became a little curious about the situation of the other two opponents.

In this bet, he is the only one who still cares about those two people...

So Lloyd slipped out of the room and wandered around the corridor. At the same time, he turned on his spiritual vision. His vision penetrated directly through the barrier between the wall and the door and saw the other two people looking dripping with sweat.

Uh...it seems very hard?

Lloyd pursed his lips, then took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

It's been an hour and it's still not cracked?

You know, the boss has some reservations about this game. If it were to be in actual combat, you both would probably survive...

But it’s not surprising that the seventh level versus the fourth level.

It would be nice if I could watch their 'plot', otherwise it's really boring.

While thinking to himself, Lloyd went to the place where supplies were piled up on the first floor, looking for anything that could relieve his boredom.

As a result, he was about to go downstairs when he suddenly felt a strange touch on his hand, which made his palms and heart feel itchy.

It turned out that the statue of the saint that he was holding suddenly broke free from his hand, and then in turn, he touched his palm with his little finger, and then hooked his finger.

Like a hint of some unknown meaning?
