Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 361 360. You came in and showed off my unique skills to your face, didn’t you? (Three more)
Today's casinos have become a little different since a certain moment.

Compared to those people who looked haggard and whose minds were completely absorbed in the slot machines and the clanging marbles on the roulette wheels, or who were simply playing cards, there was a newcomer who looked different.

There wasn't much of a smile or expression on his face. Although he was dressed in rags and dirt, he walked with big strides. The chips in his pocket clattered, but he sounded a little weak.

This feeling of emptiness lasted for less than ten minutes. After the young man walked around the carpeted venue, he sat down in the area where the dealer dealt the cards and many people sat around, indicating that he wanted to join the next round.

On the communication line, Momo, who was gathered in front of a makeshift screen, thought for a moment after Seifer got the card, and said with a slightly more confident tone, "You can add more."

Sefer immediately threw out a few chips, and after the dealer opened his cards, a sum of money was quickly deposited in front of him.

Not to mention the frustration of others, the regret for having placed the wrong bet, or even the beating of the chest for having lost all his money, Sefer just calmly collected the chips and continued to wait for the next round.

Other people in the technical department also wanted to join this game, but even Xiang had to take out paper and pen to do the calculations, but Momo just had to sit there and state her conclusions without thinking.

The banker didn't take it seriously at first, but as the chips increased, he looked at Sefer frequently, thinking that this man might be a troublemaker.

As usual, the funds will be recovered.

This is the process, but can it actually be done so easily?
After the round ended, Sefer suddenly stood up and left the table with the chips, but he did not leave the venue. Instead, he changed the game mode - that one was simpler, just rolling the dice and betting on it.

There were few people playing, so Sefer threw some chips in and continued to concentrate on playing those strange machines, each of which turned a circle.

Until he came across a machine, he suddenly stopped, sat down like a normal tourist passing by, put in the chips, and then pulled the lever.

According to calculations within the entertainment company, the input and output ratio of these machines is maintained at around 73, which means that for every 100 tokens put in, 30 can be spit out. This is a very cheap way of playing and it is easy to get short-term excitement.

In fact, the final arrangements and combinations have been designed long ago, but many people do not enjoy this process, but the pure feeling of "getting results immediately after investment".

Sefer also knew this, but when he was walking around, Momo suddenly reminded him that it was this machine and he must pull the lever at this time.

——So how do you judge by appearance?
When you pull the lever, everything is normal... Here I need to explain how the so-called lever machine works.

It is a panel composed of 3X3 grids. Don’t worry about those fancy decorations. The moment you pull down the lever, all the movable parts will start to look good.

The core is the panel.

The panel features a variety of aircraft from different companies. The higher the degree of completion of the aircraft assembly, the higher the rewards you can get. Generally speaking, you can get rewards by completing a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row.

The more pieces you complete, the higher the reward, but most people who come here to shake only complete about two columns at most.

The first column was scrolled, and it seemed that the vertical column combination was completed. The machine made a pleasant sound, and then dinged a few times as congratulations.

The second row was completed, and then the vertical row was combined. The machine made a higher-level sound. People nearby looked over and congratulated and envied Seifer's luck.

The third column rolled for a while and then slowly stopped. What appeared in front of Cypher was a new-generation stealth attack combat machine launched by I/O Enterprise this year. It had many curves in appearance and looked strangely round.

Of course, that wasn't the point. The machine emitted its customary third-level congratulatory sound, then suddenly paused, and the entire machine began to emit a loud, pleasant, and inspiring cry.

All the grids were emitting brilliant golden light, and even the indicator lights, decorative lights and overhead lighting on the entire machine were all shining on Sefer.

Suddenly, the alarm sounded outside. People from the entertainment company immediately ran out to maintain order, asking the idle people near the slot machines to leave quickly. Then they surrounded the machine and Cypher. Both sides looked very nervous.

Amidst this chaotic situation, Seifer immediately raised his hands and looked around harmlessly, "What, what's the matter? You guys don't allow slot machines here anymore?"

The people around were silent and had no reaction until a man in a neat suit and even a strange tailcoat came up.

"Hey, hey, why are you so nervous? This is our lucky star. Wait a moment, I'll drive them away, hahahaha..."

The laughing man pushed aside the surrounding company security personnel, his seemingly friendly face filled with a smile. "Hello, hello, I'm the middle manager in charge of this area. You're lucky to have triggered this reward."

"What reward? I thought your machine was broken, why are you making such a fuss? I didn't rob a bank or smash the machine..."

Seifer looked like a bewildered young man. He pointed at the numbers on the machine and said, "And it seems to be saying there's not enough money. How do I withdraw this amount?"

"Haha, that's easy to explain. This number is because there aren't enough chips in the machine. We won't deduct any of your earnings, nor will we deduct any of your friends' earnings here."

The other party's words sounded very nice, and then he pointed upstairs: "However, if the income is only at this level, I guess I can only find a less famous node city and live a peaceful life for ten years."

Seifer nodded. "Indeed, it seems this slot machine only has a certain upper limit on how much money you can earn. You can't really make a small fortune with a small investment... So what do you want to say?"

"I mean, are you interested in making a fortune? It's exciting, exciting, and full of unknown excitement. Believe me, after seeing that kind of scene, you will definitely fall madly in love with it."

Sounds like some old gambler trying to lure people to somewhere more exciting.

Seifer was silent for a moment, considering his own character, and then asked cautiously, "Why me? Is it because I did take some money from you, which makes me stand out, so you want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of me?"

"That's not true! But since you're so suspicious, why not come and watch from the sidelines? This show is one of the few in our company that has extremely high and stable ratings."

Programs? Entertainment companies did produce and broadcast some video recordings, but Seifer hadn't heard much about the existence of "real-time" programs.

Or is it that mercenaries don't have the money to buy such programs, so they are isolated from this kind of entertainment for a long time?

After a brief consideration, Seifer hesitantly nodded in agreement: "I'll...watch one game first, but it's free...right?"

"You're kidding! Not only is it free to watch the live show, we'll also invite audience interaction. You can even invest money to guess who will win in the end!"

It’s really an entertainment company, full of entertainment and fun. Do you have such an entertaining company?
