Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1305 Gambling Safe

   Lock shop.

   Looking at this unpretentious sign, if there are no other lock-related shops around, Liu Xing would not necessarily enter here.

   But before Liu Xing entered the lock shop, a person hurried out, ready to pull down the shutters of the shop.

   "Uh, boss, are you ready to close the door for a rest so early?" Liu Xing stopped and asked.

The man who was about to close the door nodded and replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have a nephew who just disappeared suddenly, so I have to hurry over to help now. If you are not in a hurry, come next time. If you are in a hurry, come next time. If so, go buy a lock somewhere else."

   Liu Xing raised his brows. He didn't expect that the owner of the lock shop was the uncle of the missing person.

   But then again, Liu Xingke still remembers Taichi Hiramoto once said to himself that the villagers in Kujing Village hardly know how to communicate with the outside world, let alone intermarriage.

   So Liu Xing expressed his doubts.

"That's right, the guy from Kujing Village doesn't like to communicate with the outside world very much, but there have actually been intermarriage a few times. After all, the younger generation of Kujing Village doesn't go out to work, so if they want to get married, if they can't If we can resolve it within the village, then we can only choose other villages to intermarry, so my sister married in Kujing Village."

The middle-aged man sighed and said with some regret: "My sister died of illness many years ago, then I should have brought my two nephews back, but I don't know what ecstasy their father poured into them. Medicine, they don't want to come back... If they had come back then, they wouldn't be missing now."

   The middle-aged man pulled down the shutter door and continued: "Okay, I have to go to Kujing Village now. Let's talk again if we have a chance."

   After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and left.

   This time, Liu Xing did not choose to keep up, but planned to take a good look at the artisan village, because such a large village should not only have the key information of "lock".

   It didn't take long for Liu Xingliu to see a very interesting shop - a second-hand safe.

   Can there be second-hand safes?

   Liu Xing walked into the store with curiosity, and found that the store was not so much selling second-hand safes, but rather directly selling blind boxes.

   Yes, these second-hand safes are blind boxes.

In short, in all likelihood, the second-hand safes in the store do not have keys. As for safes that do not require a key and can only be opened with a password, the boss cannot provide the correct password, so these second-hand safes are basically In a state that cannot be used normally, only a skilled locksmith can open these second-hand safes.

Of course, this is only a possibility, because the owner of this shop once looked for the middle-aged man just now, but the middle-aged man said he was helpless, because some safes have strange lock cylinders, and some safes require a password and a key to open.

   But in some cases, changing your mind will have unexpected benefits.

   Few people will do the thing of buying pearls and returning pearls, but what about buying pearls and returning pearls?

   That's right, this store doesn't sell second-hand safes, but what's in second-hand safes.

   Under normal circumstances, there should be nothing in second-hand safes, but as long as you are willing to look for them, you can still find some second-hand safes under unusual circumstances.

So the owner of this shop often goes back to Nagoya and surrounding cities to find out if there are any nearby companies that run away due to poor management, or if a big boss has to "disappear" for a period of time for some special reason. Safes that have become "second-hand" due to sudden reasons, and these safes often contain something.

Then, the owner of the store brings back these second-hand safes, and the buyer can choose one that looks more pleasing to the eye to open. Of course, the opening here requires the use of abnormal means such as a chainsaw, and then the buyer can only open it. The contents of this safe will be taken away, and the completely damaged safe will be sold by the boss as scrap metal, so that the boss can earn two cents.

Most of the time, the boss is guaranteed to make no loss, because many safes only have some useless documents and ledgers, or some scattered banknotes. In short, the value of these things combined is not as good as the selling price given by the boss. But there are still very few exceptions. For example, when the boss introduced these to Liu Xing, he mentioned that someone bought a second-hand safe a year ago. This safe was originally placed in the manager's office of a company. Because he lost everything in the casino, he chose to jump off the building, and he missed a lot of money. As a result, the company was directly seized.

Originally, the creditor was going to cut open the safe to see what was inside, but he chose to give it up at the last moment, because the usual right to use the safe belongs to the manager of that company, so there are nine out of ten that are just some right. Documents that are more important to the company, not to mention that the manager didn't stand up and ask for the contents of the safe at this time.

As a result, the safe was brought to this "thrift store". As a result, a person who often came to this shop to try his luck had just enough money to buy this safe, so he decided to bet on it, which seemed unlikely. "shipped" safes. . . Then he became a multi-millionaire, of course, the ten million here refers to the currency of the island country.

It turns out that the manager of that company is usually not clean, and often receives some rebates, but for the sake of insurance, he collects antiques or jewelry, and they are directly stored in this safe, so that when he is found, he will still be paid. You can defend yourself with "I took these things for the company's sake."

   Of course, if the manager was not found when he left, then he took these things with him.

   "Because the company was seized so suddenly, the manager didn't have time to take the things in the safe, and he didn't dare to stand up later, because these things were his personal belongings."

The boss looked at Liu Xing with a smile and said, "In the end, all these things are cheap for my old customer. Of course, things like this have happened several times; how is the little brother? Are you tempted now? If you are tempted, Liu Buy a safe or two to see your luck? Maybe you can make a lot of money."

   Liu Xing looked at the room in front of him, with dozens of safes, big and small, and felt that he had seen this scene there. Yes, it was in those videos about gambling stones.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Xing felt that this second-hand safe was really like gambling stones. Before cutting it open, he didn't know if the contents in it could bring him more wealth, and this safe was also the same as the rough jadeite. Because of the difference in the place of manufacture and the way they are sold, their prices are also very different.

For example, the most expensive safe in the boss's mouth is roughly equivalent to $100,000 in the future if inflation is taken into account, because this safe was originally placed in an underground casino, but the underground casino was dumped because of leaks, but a few The young man stole the safe before escaping, but they didn't open the safe because they couldn't agree on the distribution. Finally, they were caught and killed by the boss behind the underground casino.

   However, these horses had already hidden the safe before they were caught, so the last one who was caught sold the safe to the boss, hoping that the boss could give the money to his family.

  Although the boss told the story vividly, Liu Xing always felt that this bad old man was very bad. He was just making up a story to increase the value of the safe, or it was specially designed to make this safe a treasure of his own shop.

In most cases, the treasure of a store is more or less blown out, and the price is likely to be several times higher than the actual value, because the treasure of this store is never sold. , but to improve the store's online.

   Without considering other conditions, if the treasures of the two antique shops are priced at 10 million for the former and 100 million for the latter, most people will think that the latter is higher than the former.

   Not to mention spending 100,000 dollars to buy a safe that doesn't know what the **** is in it, isn't that person a fool?

   Besides, this safe weighs hundreds of kilograms. It is naturally impossible to judge what is inside by shaking it to make the contents inside make a sound.

   But Liu Xing is still going to buy a safe.

The reason is very simple. Liu Xing intends to store the information he has obtained in this safe, and then leave clues for players who exist at a later point in time to find the safe, so as to complete the transmission of information, and this way of transmitting information is also Liu The best thing the star can do at the moment.

But there is one thing to say. In fact, Liu Xing really wants to try his luck. If he really gets a windfall from a certain safe, then he can be considered to have a little confidence in this world, and at least he can go back to Nagoya to eat well. Drink well and stay in a presidential suite or something.

As a result, when Liu Xing contacted KP Broken Bridge to prepare a lucky judgment, KP Broken Bridge smiled and said: "Congratulations to player Liu Xing for discovering the most special existence in this world - the Lucky Store, there may be a safe in this store. Some items or clues that are very important for customs clearance, some of which can even be brought out of this world; but in this store, players will not be able to use any judgments on these safes, so this time it is really a test of players' luck ."

Hearing KP Broken Bridge say this, Liu Xing couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that now is not the time to be happy, because in the absence of luck judgment or inspiration judgment, he can only use these few judgments. Pick one out of ten safes.

Although Liu Xing's mathematics has always been not very good, but Liu Xing is very clear that in the case of normal judgment, his probability of "winning" will be much higher, and there is still a one-twentieth probability of winning the super prize, but Now if you rely solely on your own luck, then you will only have a few tenths of luck to draw the best safe. Of course, this is the same as the probability of drawing other rewards or safes without rewards.

   This is really bad news.

And more realistically, the prices of these safes are not the same, so if the judgment can be made, Liu Xing can make a steady profit and loss as long as he passes the judgment. In this way, Liu Xing can buy some prices with confidence. High safe too.

But now, Liu Xing feels a little guilty when he sees those high-priced safes, because the risk of buying these safes is too high, and it is better to buy multiple low-priced safes than buying one high-priced safe. After all, those safes are useful to players. Items or information do not equate to price.

But having said that, just when Liu Xing was about to open his mouth to buy a safe, he suddenly realized a somewhat embarrassing problem. Something that can be discounted in the eyes. . . And things that can hold ordinary people, such as cell phones.

Liu Xing felt that if he mortgaged his mobile phone to the boss in front of him, the boss would definitely agree, because smartphones are a black technology in this era, but there is a saying that it is easy to ask God to give him away, and the mobile phone falls into the hands of this boss. It is very difficult to get it back if it is in the store. After all, if such a mobile phone is sold to a big company like Sony, it will be a lot of money, enough to make the boss give up the store directly.

However, Liu Xing can be sure that even if the boss knows that this phone is worth a fortune, it is impossible to sell all the safes to himself, because the phone cannot be discounted immediately, so he will definitely choose to lower the price, and then he will be able to use the phone. It is not bad to exchange three or five safes.

   But judging from the current situation, Liu Xing feels that this business can still be done. Anyway, under the reset of the world, this phone will be back in his hands.

"Hey, I know Liu Xing, you plan to use the modern items on your body as a mortgage to the boss, so that if you visit a few more times, you can be sure what is in most of the safes? But I can tell you very clearly that in this world, When you reset, if your original belongings are not with you, then this item will not be reset; as for some important items in this world, if you carry them with you, they will also appear after the reset. pocket."

   Hearing what Kp Broken Bridge said, Liu Xing couldn't help sighing, and could only silently glance at the situation outside the store - very good, there were no passers-by.

   Then, Liu Xing took out his pistol.
