Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

"Of course not."

"If you can't do that, then why do you need an IOU?"

"That being said...thanks anyway." This big brother is so nice!

"It's okay. I should be the one thanking you."

"Thanks to you, not only did I advance my breakthrough to the Divine Realm by half a year, but my chances of success also increased from 60% to 98%."

"If I could buy this opportunity with World Coins, I would be willing to spend any amount of money."

"But considering that giving you World Coins directly seems a bit too cheap, I will prepare a thank-you gift for you after I break through the Divine Realm."

"No, no, you're too polite. I feel embarrassed."

Rhine thought he was thick-skinned, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the Lord God for money, but if he really wanted to receive something for nothing, he really couldn't do it. After all, the relationship between the two of them was mutually beneficial, and there was no one owing anyone anything.

"The most important thing is that you have helped me a lot, and you have already repaid me what you owed me before. After all, I agreed to ask you to help me once."

"That time doesn't count. We just dealt with a few demigods. You could have handled it even without me, right? Anyway, I don't like owing favors to others. I will repay this favor as soon as possible." The God insisted.

Rhine wanted to say, "Then just give me these 600 million world coins. I don't mind it." But unfortunately, his face didn't allow him to say such words.

After discussing with the God Lord the details to pay attention to when breaking through and making an appointment to meet in his world tomorrow, Rhine hurriedly found the Lord of the Black Market with nearly 700 million world coins.

"Are you there? Can we still place bets?"

"Of course, you can place a bet as long as the Lord God has not yet started to break through."

"So how much do you plan to bet, sir?"

Due to Rhine’s previous high-profile appearance in the bar, his identity had spread among high-level players, and almost everyone knew that he was the mysterious man who was the first to “clear” the game.

"Can you eat it?"

Rhine was afraid that the other party would not dare to accept his bet, because he was here to make money. He could make 700 million out of 120 million, all for free.

"Don't worry, I can take whatever you bet." The black market lord said confidently.

"Okay, then I'll bet 695 million world coins that the Lord will succeed in one go."

"As expected of a big boss, he spent 695 million in one go."

"I'll take this order. If the Lord God succeeds, I'll return you 814 million."

“等等，不应该是834万吗？怎么少了20万？”莱茵又算了算，695x1.2确实是834啊。

"Boss, have you ever seen a banker who doesn't take a commission? Wouldn't that banker lose a lot of money? My commission here is 15% of the profit after deducting the principal, which is the difference between 834-695 multiplied by 0.15. I will waive the decimal point for you, and I will charge you exactly 20 as a handling fee."

After hearing this, Rhine exclaimed, "Wow!" No wonder there is a saying that the banker will never lose, because no matter whether they win or lose money, they can collect money from both ends, it's just a matter of how much they earn.

"Aren't you afraid that everyone will succeed in buying the Divine Master at once? Then the small commission you collect won't be enough to cover your losses."

Didn’t he ever think that if everyone tried to take advantage of the situation, the dealer would suffer huge losses?

"Of course I'm not afraid. Everyone has a sense of luck. No matter how much confidence everyone has in the Divine Lord, there is no 100% guarantee that he will succeed. After all, no one has ever broken through the Divine Realm."

"So some people would think, what if the Lord God fails? You know, the odds on both sides differ by 230 times, which is enough to drive people crazy."

"There is no shortage of gamblers at any time."

"Of course, gamblers are only a minority of the population."

"The biggest profits come from those self-proclaimed smart players who like to diversify their investments, that is, betting on both sides. For example, betting on the God Lord's success will earn 8000 world coins, and betting on the God Lord's failure will earn 2000 world coins. In this way, even if the God Lord succeeds, they will only lose a few hundred world coins, which is not a big deal." (8000x1.2=96000)

"But if the Lord God fails, then wouldn't they make a fortune?" (2000x46=920000)

"Using a few hundred or a few thousand world coins to fight for hundreds of thousands or even millions of world coins, this cost is not too big in terms of return."

"On the contrary, there are very few people like you who bet all their wealth on the God Lord to win, because if the bet amount is not large, the profit is not high, after all, the odds are only 0.2. But if you bet too much, what if the God Lord fails, wouldn't you lose everything? Again, no one can guarantee that the God Lord will succeed, so 95% of people will choose to bet on both sides to reduce the risk. And I make money from these "smart people"."

"Damn, you are just cutting leeks." This guy is so scary, he is treating all the players in the server as leeks.

"You can't say that. This is something we both agreed to. Even though we all know that stocks are risky, aren't there still so many people flying around every year? I didn't force them."

"Besides, aren't the big guys also the ones who cut the leeks? After all, the money you win is also the money lost by other players."

"But since the boss dared to bet 700 million on the Lord alone, he must have received some inside information, right?"

Seeing that Rhine did not respond, the Lord of the Black Market continued.

"That's great. I was worried before. More people lost the bet on the God Lord than I thought. It seems that everyone wants to get rich overnight. Let me put it this way. Although the odds are 0.2:46, the ratio of the pool amount is 64."

"So if the Lord God fails, there will be no chance for me to recover."

"So you're not a gambler too?"

"I gamble because I have no other choice. I am still carrying tens of millions of dollars in debt. You know, for a qualified businessman, gambling is the lowest form of means."

"........."

Rhine almost forgot that this guy still has tens of millions of dollars in debt due to the punishment for violating the rules. If it were an ordinary person, he would have never been able to turn things around.

"Excuse me, how much do you have left to pay back?"

"If I can catch the Divine Lord's express train this time, I'll only have a few million left."

"Just", "Only"...

As expected of someone who once made tens of millions, he doesn't even care about a few million. This game is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

"I hope you won't spread what I said today, otherwise I'll be in big trouble. After all, in everyone's eyes, I must be crazy to do such a thankless task."

(According to the rules, if the player's betting pool is not enough to pay, the remaining difference will be paid by the dealer. Therefore, most players think that the black market lord has lost his mind. Unexpectedly, the bonus ratio of the pool is 64:. What does this mean? It means that everyone is betting on the success of the God Lord on the surface, but in fact, they are also betting on the failure of the God Lord behind the scenes. After all, if the God Lord succeeds, you will only make a little money, but if it fails, you will become rich overnight.)

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I need to make money myself." He was the one who was just drinking the soup, so naturally he wouldn't ruin other people's rice bowls.

"Are you sure that the Lord God will succeed?"

"Not sure, but he himself said it's 98%. But I guess he said that to leave some room for surprises, the probability is 100%."

"Okay, now that I have your answer, I can go ahead and do it with confidence."

"You don't want to short the players' funds, do you?"

So wicked.

"Is this considered a violation?"

"Why are you asking me? I don't know."

Wait, why would the other party ask him this question? Could it be that some stupid inspector's identity was exposed? And the other party was testing him?

"After the deal is done, the boss's 834 million will be returned in full, and the players' money will be split % and %!"

"No, no, just give me what I deserve."

Rhine felt that the other party might have guessed his identity, and the 1% he was given was to smooth the relationship with him.

After all, for a player like him who has been wandering in the gray area for many years, he might be sanctioned by the system one day. Therefore, if there is an insider who can inform him or help him, it would be worth it, let alone 10%, even if it is more money.

This kind of thing happens a lot in real life.

But the opponent dared to give it, but Rhine didn't dare to accept it.

If this gets started, how the hell will he be able to control himself in the future?

He is a cadre who cannot stand the test.

"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding." Seeing that Rhine was determined not to accept it, the black market lord tactfully did not mention it again.

"But I'll waive the handling fee. Just consider it as making a friend."

"That's not good. It costs 20 just to make a friend."

Is this how the rich make friends? You have to know that the mainstream players nowadays only have tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars at most.

"It's okay. It's nothing to me. By the way, the Dust Song Pot is ready. When do you think it would be convenient for you to come and install it?"

"I would have almost forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Let's wait a few days. I've been too busy lately and don't have time."

"Okay. From now on, if you want to buy or sell anything, you can contact me. I won't charge any handling fees."

"Well, thanks."

After closing the chat with the Lord of the Black Market, Rhine still felt his heart beating a little fast. After all, 700 million world coins was not a small amount.

If the God succeeds, he will have 200 million world coins, which he can then use to buy the Red Alert base vehicle.

Give him a modern armored division, and then cooperate with blitzkrieg to try to capture the Landia continent within a month.

"Your Majesty, we are at the top of the maze."

In the carriage, Alisha, who was sitting next to Rhine, reminded.

"Ah."

(ps: The Ruby Demon King, whom everyone has been waiting for for so long, is about to appear. How could I forget? She is not a supporting role. Let’s vote for her~)

Chapter 298 Maxwell (Scientist) Family

Following Alisha's instructions, the carriage stopped at the edge of a small forest.

After getting off the bus, Rhine saw nothing but trees standing side by side. "Is it really in this forest?"

"Yes. Strictly speaking, it's not 'inside', but 'below'."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alisha started walking towards the forest.

"Your Majesty, please follow me."

Under the guidance of Alisha, Rhine walked slowly in the forest.

The heroic spirit Leonidas, the king of Sparta, was alert to the surrounding environment while in spiritual form, and no movement could escape his detection.

Originally, Rhine had no intention of bringing a heroic spirit with him, as he had not yet developed the habit of being protected by others. However, Xiao He refused to agree for his safety, and said that he must bring at least one warrior heroic spirit with him when he went out.

Because as the reforms continued to deepen, more and more nobles would want Rhine dead, and there might be some people with wild imaginations and open minds who would take risks. Therefore, after a period of consideration, Xiao He sent the Spartan king, who had the most "martial virtue" among them, to serve as Rhine's guard.

In fact, their worries were unnecessary. Although Rhine could not use magic, it did not mean that he had no combat power. Don't forget that he was a legendary warrior.

Magic is just a means. If magic is no longer usable, don’t we still have mental power?

You should know that the strength of his mental power is no less than that of a level 5.5 telekinetic superpower user. His powerful mental power alone is enough to strangle an ordinary legendary strongman to death.

While the Spartan king was on guard, Rhine also released his mental power, sweeping around like a sonic radar. With his current mental strength, it was enough to cover half of the Elfriden Kingdom, so he didn't have to worry about anyone wanting to do anything bad to him.

After Rhine's mental power swept across the entire forest, he did not find any threatening creatures or anything unusual.

But then he remembered that Alisha said the maze was under the forest, so he changed the direction of his exploration.

When his spiritual power extended to a depth of 400 meters underground, it encountered an obstacle. No matter how hard he tried, he could not continue to extend it downwards. He thought that there must be a maze below. After all, it was the experimental base of the high elves, which had a certain confidentiality, so it was naturally impossible for anyone to explore it at will.

Judging from the area covered by the black curtain, the scale of this experimental base is quite large, no less than a small city. It is more appropriate to call it an underground city rather than a maze.

"Your Majesty, we've reached the entrance." Alisha stopped and turned to Rhine.

“Isn’t this a garage?”

The square hut, which was covered with moss and resembled a concrete building, had a heavy air-raid door that looked exactly like the one in the underground garage. Although this world occasionally had cutting-edge technology, it was still at the cultural level before the Industrial Revolution; however, the design of this building was clearly out of tune with this world.

Rhine was sure that this was not the real entrance to the experimental base. After all, a large-scale underground city would not have only one entrance. It was more like an entrance and exit for logistics personnel to replenish supplies.

"Can we go in directly?" Rhine asked doubtfully, looking at the tightly closed air-defense door.

"Yes, currently the Maxwell family lives here. The Maxwell family are all a group of geeks. After they took ownership of the abandoned maze from the Wang family, they directly transformed it into a research institute." Alisha replied.

"Impossible? With their mediocre technology, they can transform the maze? Maybe they don't even know where the real gate is?" Rhine questioned.

In the Penicsia continent, people have already developed a set of mature and complete technologies for the transformation of secret realms, mazes, and dungeons. Almost all the world's dominant forces have their own large secret realms, and even some empires have their own small secret realms.

But their ability to transform does not mean that the Kingdom of Elfriden is capable of transforming it. You have to know that the prerequisite for transforming a secret realm is to conquer it and obtain the core of the maze or the core of the secret realm. When conquering a large secret realm, the world's dominant forces are often led by demigods, assisted by dozens of legends, and hundreds of saints and kings.

What kind of team did the world's dominant power lead? What kind of team did the Kingdom of Elfriden lead? Didn't Rhine know the level of both sides? There were only a few people in the kingdom, and only one of the three strongest officials had reached the legendary level. Could she conquer him alone? No, she didn't have the ability to do so.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Kingdom of Elfriden encountered a "dead secret realm". This secret realm completely stopped functioning due to energy exhaustion or other reasons, and even the minimum defense and maintenance mechanisms were paralyzed, leaving only a shell.

However, this is not a good thing, because without the energy that maintains the secret realm, most of the things inside will be weathered by the corrosion of time. After all, the era of the High Elves is tens of thousands of years away from now.

Another point is that without the defense mechanism, if there are good things in the secret realm, they have already been taken away by the predecessors. How can they wait for the future generations to take them? Therefore, a living secret realm is far more valuable than a dead secret realm. A dead secret realm has no use except as a "house" to live in. If the secret realm discovered by the Kingdom of Elfriden is a dead secret realm, then there is no need for him to visit it.

Shortly after Rhine finished speaking, a face with a beard and glaring eyes suddenly appeared on the glass next to the civil air defense door, obviously having heard what Rhine had just said.

"What did you just say!!! What do you mean, you young brat? What do you mean by mediocre Kung Fu?"

"That's right. Our Maxwell family is the smartest family in the kingdom. If even we can't do it, who else can do it?"
