Star Trace Gate

After Stargate announced the "Defy Fate and Change Destiny" mission, many ordinary players breathed a sigh of relief.

After enduring for twenty whole days, I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel and was about to go home.

In Daji's safe house, many players were not in a hurry to leave, but gathered together to talk to each other, showing much more enthusiasm than before.

"This is the last bus tonight. Is there anyone who wants to take the mission?"

"I have a mission to explore the Xinji Bookstore. Is there a piece of it? I'll earn some money and chips in the end. I'm going home, home!"

"Take me one, I'll go!"

"Brother, are you going to participate in the destiny-changing game tonight?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Participate for nothing." A young man shook his head and replied gloomily, "Fuck, I've been targeted by a bastard. He ripped me off last night, and I have less than 5,000 chips left. If I want to complete the mission, I won't be able to collect 30,000 chips before midnight. I'm going to try to go to the gambling place. If it works, I'll go. If not, I'll wait to go home."

"Okay, let's be more positive. At least we saved our lives."

"...!"

A group of players were standing in the safe house, chatting with each other.

Ren Ye also found Old Man Yang: "Uncle, I just want to ask you one question, do you want to go to the table and have a try? I'll give you the chips, as a reward for your hard work in leading me these days, hehe."

Old Man Yang was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved his hand: "No, I won't go. I'm not destined to get rich overnight. Besides, the emptier your pocket is, the easier it is to lose when gambling, and it's also easy to get addicted. What if I lose all the money in my pocket, then these twenty days of work will be in vain? I'll finish two more missions, and then I'll go home."

Everyone has their own aspirations, and there's no way to persuade them.

Moreover, Ren admired this old man Yang from the bottom of his heart. He really lived very clearly, knowing what he could control and what he could not touch. In modern society, there are not many such people.

There are seventy-eight players in this star gate, and he and Wang Dong are the only ones who have never been to a gambling venue.

"Okay, I wish you all the best!"

"You are a man who can accomplish great things." Old Man Yang also patted Ren Ye's shoulder and said solemnly: "Young man, you will be able to make a name for yourself in Star Gate sooner or later."

"Haha, why do you say that?" Ren Ye asked.

"Virtue. In society, there are many capable people, but not many who can truly control their abilities." Old Man Yang grinned, "Once a person stands high, it is easy for him to drift and lose sight of what is under his feet and in the sky. Look, how many great figures throughout history have fallen because of this? You are different. You can even see people like me..."

"You're praising me so much that I feel embarrassed." Ren Ye scratched his head.

"Young man, don't forget your original intention."

"Ah."

Having said that, the two did not continue the conversation, and Lao Yang left with a few low-level players.

Not long after, Xu Qingzhao also left the safe house and rushed to the gambling venue.

After Ren saw her leave, he also left. However, he did not go to the gambling place or participate in the group mission.

Lao Liu said that the more chips the better, so the only way to make money is to get rich quickly, and it is definitely too late to work now.

After Ren Ye left the safe house, he found an opportunity to sneak into the residential building opposite and began to secretly observe the situation there.

He found that most of the high-level players under Wang Dong had left, probably in teams of three to five people, but there were still a few "management" members who had not come out.

These people are all fat sheep!

Now wait a minute.

……

The second floor of the safe house.

Wang Dong stood at the window, with his hands behind his back, saying nothing.

"Are you worried that... the player whose eyes you stabbed is still alive?" A high-powered female player asked softly.

"I can't let him walk into the Fate-Defying Casino." Wang Dong said in a hoarse voice, "He has a rare black item in his hand. We have to be careful of him."

"Some of us have already gone to the Fate-Defying Casino." replied the female player.

"Ah."

Wang Dong nodded slowly, and suddenly sighed: "Alas."

"Hey, what?" The woman asked in confusion, "You seem very unhappy."

Wang Dong turned around, looked at the charming and sexy-dressed woman, slowly walked over, slowly raised his hand, placed it on the other's leg, and slowly moved towards the center.

The two looked at each other.

He said, "You know, it would be great if we could stay in this star gate forever!"

"Hehe!" The woman looked at him with a smile: "You want to be the emperor?"

“Who wouldn’t want to?” Wang Dong’s eyes revealed an unwillingness that was hard to conceal: “Twenty days is really too short…!”

……

Inside the small safe house.

Old Liu was sitting on the hard bed, playing with a chip in his hand.

In the corner, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl hugged her knees with her hands, her messy hair covering her pretty face, and said softly, "Uncle, are you...are you going out later?"

"Yeah." Old Liu looked up, his forehead full of wrinkles caused by the years.

He looked at the little girl for a long time, and for the first time, he said in a gentle tone: "Child, this is not the place for you to come. Go out, and don't come back again."

"You are a good person." The little girl replied after a long silence.

"I'm not a good person at all." Lao Liu shook his head: "I'm just not that bad."

"...!"

After that, the two said no more.

One was thinking about the evening; the other was sitting there with his legs crossed, his little heart beating fast.

They all seemed nervous.

……

At night, around 9:20.

Xu Qingzhao stood in the game hall of life, recalling Ren Ye's explanation in his mind, and had roughly understood the rules of the slot machine.

It’s quite simple!

After she figured out everything, she walked over to a machine and generously placed two thousand chips in.

"Snapped!"

One beat, one turn, one stop, and two thousand is gone.

"...!"

Xu Qingzhao blinked his lively eyes and invested another two thousand.

"Snapped!"

One beat, one turn, one stop, and two thousand is gone again.

Five times in a row, in less than five minutes, the ten thousand chips died more miserably than the Daqian soldiers.

Xu Qingzhao's eyes became a little stubborn. She stared at the slot machine screen with her brows furrowed, "This thing is bullying me too much!"

Not far away, several players looked over with some curiosity.

Especially Wang Dong's men who were watching here. There were four of them, three men and one woman. They saw Xu Qingzhao standing there blankly from the very beginning.

After all, the princess's style is so stunning now that it's hard not to attract attention.

"Ouch?" The ordinary-looking female player sneered and said, "That ugly woman seems to be very rich."
