Forces of Temptation

Jiang Fang whistled.

Feeling the other party's ridicule, the Dai brothers' ears were bloodshot, and their cheeks were burning hot.

They still remembered how they scoffed at Jiang Fang's proposal a few hours ago.

——"We don't need to bet such a boring bet against you."

Now that I think about it, Jiang Fang proposed to gamble earlier, did he dig a trap long ago and prepare options for them in advance?

Thinking of this possibility, the Dai family brothers felt their teeth itch, determined to skin the cunning humanoid fox in front of them.

But if they open their mouths to fight back at this time, they, as losers, can only fall to the bottom.

Jiang Fang didn't bother to flirt with them, so he asked Qu Jinsha, "Boss Qu, do you want to bet?"

There was a trace of helplessness in Qu Jinsha's smile.

He had foreseen the current situation when he was threatened by someone killing him.

I agreed at the beginning, is there still room for refusing to cooperate now?

Anyway, now they are all prosperous and all lost.

What's more, the current Dai brothers are not normal people, but gamblers who are enjoying themselves.

It is one of Qu Jinsha's life creeds not to provoke gamblers in the game.

Jiang Fang folded his arms and turned to look at Nan Zhou: "Teacher Nan, what do you think?"

Nanzhou's thinking is still simple and direct: "It's our turn to choose this time?"

"Yeah." Jiang Fang fully respected his opinion, "What do you want to play?"

At this time, more than a dozen kinds of gambling tools are displayed in front of them, and they are free to choose.

Qu Jinsha folded his hands, followed Nan Zhou's gaze, and inspected the entire small kingdom he built by himself.

Before the end of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I don't know if this place can continue to exist.

Since it is an uncertain question, simply don't think about it, and just look at the present.

Qu Jinsha guessed that if Nanzhou and the others had to choose, it should be poker, or mahjong, or flower cards.

Maybe they will continue to ask to play Sic Bo or roulette, but it's hard to say whether the two great gods, the Dai brothers, will agree.

In fact, the Dai family brothers are also stern and soft-hearted, all relying on the anger in their chests, they vaguely feel that they are a little vain, so vain that they almost float into the sky like a balloon.

But now, where do they have a way out?

Their gazes and heartbeats fluctuated with Nan Zhou's gaze.

Under the attention of everyone, Nan Zhou pointed to a corner of the casino: "That."

After seeing the direction of his fingertips, the air froze for a few seconds.

Even Qu Jinsha's tongue froze in his mouth.

And the Dai brothers, after recovering from the initial stupefaction, blood rushed to their cheeks, their heads flushed and their faces flushed with ecstasy.

……court death!

... Nanzhou chose a clown coin pusher that is as deceptive as a slot machine!

Li Yinhang frowned.

She doesn't quite understand the rules of this thing.

But she's seen this stuff.

When she was young, there was a video game arcade near her home. This thing was regarded as the main toy, and it was quite popular. People often faced it, sitting in the dazzling light of fairy tales for a whole day.

Her family doesn't have much money, and she doesn't like to spend it on games where there's no money coming back.

However, sitting and watching people play during the summer vacation is also a good place to kill time.

In her memory, there is an uncle in his 40s who loves to play this game.

Uncle is quite a nice person, wearing black-rimmed glasses, gentle, usually likes to smoke a few puffs, but after discovering that Li Yinhang likes to watch him play the coin pusher, whenever she stands behind him, he will take the initiative to smoke snuff out.

He would also take the initiative to explain the rules of the game to Li Yinhang, but because she had no intention of participating, she forgot what she heard.

Li Yinhang didn't dare to say, she just liked the feeling of money falling down.

At that time, her financial obsession had already begun to take shape.

Li Yinhang didn't care about the rules, he only cared about the uncle's loss.

She has carefully calculated that the uncle loses more than he wins, a plastic jar full of more than 200 game tokens, he can spend them all in one morning, but the harvest is always very little.

In order not to be suspected of "gambling", the game hall can only give him more game tokens, lottery tickets and drinks as rewards even if the uncle wins.

Li Yinhang asked his uncle why he was so obsessed with this machine because he couldn't get any money.

Thinking about it now, it is a miracle that she was not beaten.

Not only did the uncle not get angry with her, but he also explained to her in a good temper: "It's fun and addictive."

Li Yinhang couldn't understand, so he followed suit.

The uncle has a rather unique quirk. He always asks the young lady at the front desk to keep the first coin pusher from the left for him, so that no one else can touch it.

At first, Li Yinhang thought that the uncle took a fancy to the trash can next to the coin pusher so that he could put out his cigarette butts, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

But one day, when she came to the game hall, she found that it was blocked by the police.

Two people were gossiping about what happened here just now.

"How did it start?"

"Well, just the coin pusher, the first one on the left, a man with glasses often goes there to play, saying it's his special machine."

"As a result, a young man came to play for the first time today, and he just sat on it. As soon as he invested two coins, the machine began to drop money. It happened to be caught by the guy wearing glasses."

"...What's the big deal about it? It's good luck for someone to pass by and play a couple of games."

"Hey, that's what I said, but the guy with glasses didn't do it. He said he robbed his machine and ruined his luck. The coin should have been his. The young man refused to give it up. Now that the fight has started, look, call the police station."

Standing at the entrance of the game hall, Li Yinhang saw a pair of black-rimmed glasses that had been crushed not far away.

Since then, she has vaguely realized that gambling can make a person's brain go wrong.

Not long after, the coin pusher also disappeared from the game hall, becoming one of the tears of the times.

And now, a total of 3 coin pushers are running quietly in the "douzhuan".

Dai Xuelin was so excited that he almost trembled, and hurriedly made a decision: "Okay!"

Nan Zhou took a few steps towards the machine, and poured cold water on Dai Xuelin's boiling enthusiasm: "I haven't said that I want to play this. I just want to see it."

Nan Zhou stood still in front of the machine.

It is a vertical machine, the specifications are very similar to an ATM machine, but the screen panel is wide, half the height of a person, and it is full of cartoon-colored patterns. , circus clown smiley poster.

This is also the reason why Nan Zhou noticed it.

A circle of gaudy-colored small light bulbs are inlaid around the panel, which light up sequentially with the rhythm of the music.

But the panels and bulbs are enclosed in a bulletproof glass enclosure, with a strangely false sense of grandeur.

On the top of the panel, there are two facing downward plastic slopes. The slope is very gentle. There is a small opening about 5cm long in the middle, which seems to be convenient for things to fall down through the slope.

The rules of the game are marked next to it, explaining its use.

[Put in varying amounts of chips from the coin slot below, press the "Start" button, and the chips will fall from the top of the screen]

Nanzhou said "hmm" and communicated with the machine and the rules without barriers, expressing that he understood it.

He continued to watch the panel.

In the middle of the panel, some marble grids are arranged loosely and irregularly, which seems to create some troubles and obstacles during the falling of the chips, and change the trajectory of the falling chips.

The elastic baffles in the computer game "Three-dimensional Pinball" are also placed in these marble grids. Players can also participate in the operation of falling chips and let the chips move according to their own ideas.

At the same time, a game page with three horizontal random joysticks is floating in the center of the panel.

There are six kinds of fruits including apples, bananas, lemons, oranges, grapes, and watermelons, as well as patterns of clowns, which are constantly changing.

Below the pattern grid, there is a swinging arm that is moving at a constant speed and glowing with blue light.

There is a small groove above the swing arm, which should be able to store at least five or six chips, at most a dozen chips.

And under the swing arm, that is, at the bottom of the panel, there are six indicator lights that light up irregularly and in no order, and there are also grooves under the indicator lights.

The game also gives a specific introduction to the functions of these sequentially arranged things.

[When the chips pass through the steel ball wall and successfully fall into the groove of the moving swing arm, a round of pattern combination mini-game will be started]

[One chip starts a round. When multiple chips fall into the groove, the number of starting rounds is based on the number of chips that fall into the groove]

[There are a total of six kinds of fruits in the pattern, and the positive direction corresponds to the six lights that light up in disorder below]

[When the indicator light is on, if the top chips just fall into the light slot, the points of the fruit will be accumulated respectively, and the highest score is 100; after exceeding 100 points, the accumulated points of the fruit will be automatically cleared and counted from 0]

Nan Zhou looked at the scores of each fruit on the machine.

苹果51分、香蕉82分、柠檬19分、橙子55分、葡萄11分、西瓜91分。

If the falling chips land on the corresponding indicator light slot, for example, enter the light slot representing "Apple", the points represented by "Apple" will rise to 52 points.

This increase in points is not meaningless, but serves for the next joystick game.

The joystick game is the most common one. When the control lever is pulled down, seven patterns will be shaken randomly for 1 minute to piece together 3 patterns.

[When the pattern is successfully connected, you can get a chip reward]

[If there are two consecutive patterns with the same pattern, you will get a connection award, and the prize is twice the accumulated score of the same fruit]

[If the three patterns are the same in a row, you will get a lucky prize, and the prize is 5 times the accumulated score of the same fruit in chips]

[If there is a clown in the first place among the three patterns, you will get a winning line and get 1 chips]

[If there are 2 clowns in the first two positions of the three patterns, you will get a two-line bonus and get 2000 chips]

[If there are 3 clowns in the three patterns, you will get a three-line bonus, which is the highest bonus, and you can get 3000 chips]

[Other circumstances do not get chips]

However, these chips are not the rewards that players can finally get.

[The reward chips will automatically fall from the channel to the front of the push plate, and the chips that are pushed down by the push plate are the rewards that the player finally gets]

Next, is the essence of the coin pusher.

The push tray filled with a dozen chips and the game board form a perfect 90-degree angle, scattering white light, moving forward mechanically in a cyclical and regular manner, like a mechanical mouth, or a A steel stomach that is always hungry.

It operates slowly, and will push the chips falling from the pipes on both sides forward.

Ahead lies an abyss.

Countless chips have gathered at the edge of the abyss, and the real coin outlet is below.

A lot of game coins with a denomination of 10 points were stacked several layers on the edge of the overflow, and they looked precarious and might fall down at any time.

Nan Zhou summed it up briefly in his heart.

In short, this is a game that integrates three independent small games.

The first one is to control the chip you put in, let it pass through the small opening, pass through the steel ball array that will cause obstacles, use the baffle to modify the trajectory, and ensure that the chip falls into the moving groove and the fruit lamp that changes from time to time, accumulating integral;

The second one is a pure joystick-type probability game;

The third is to see how many of the chips exchanged for the probability game can finally reach the coin outlet.

... A mechanical gambling trap in capital letters, I wish I could write "please enter the urn" on it.

This is a game of death recognized in casinos.

As long as a simple setting, they can be framed to death.

——Just modify the probability of shaking the clown and fruit three in a row.

"En." Nan Zhou said after a careful and preliminary study of the coin pusher, "Then let's do this first. We will choose this one, and we will talk about it after the casino opens tomorrow."

On the one hand, the Dai brothers were overjoyed because Nanzhou had taken a fancy to the coin pusher, but on the other hand they did not dare to relax their vigilance.

Dai Xuelin was eager to try: "Let's start now."

Nanzhou's attitude is also very firm: "If you want to play now, I will not play."

Even though they knew there was absolutely no reason to force people to gamble, the Dai brothers were still unwilling to give up the temptation to immediately turn the tables, and even more unwilling to have long nights and dreams.

What if Nan Zhou was just trying to slow down the army, was teasing them, deliberately delaying the time, and changed his mind tomorrow, what should he do?

They want a reason to reassure themselves: "Why not now?"

Nanzhou was confident: "Brother Fang and Yinhang are tired."

Jiang Fang understood the meaning of his words: "We all rested, what about you?"

Nan Zhou looked at the radiant coin pusher and said, "...give me 10000 points. I want to play first."

The author has something to say:

The rules are all modified and simplified on the real gambling tools

For example, on the roulette wheel, the numbers 123456 are not next to each other; for example, the coin pusher still has out, and the turntable is wiped out.
