Chapter 437 "Gamble" Spending a Lot of Money
Seeing Bai Xiaoxi and the British gentleman opposite him both exiting the game and entering the central casino.

Jiang Qian no longer dwelled on the established facts, but used his brain to analyze the rules of tonight's gambling.

First of all, regarding this "camp war": the three-game battle only emphasized the elimination weight, but did not mention the final victory or defeat of the camp. This sounds very incomplete.

It is inevitable that people will suspect that the so-called "camp war" is just a cover, and the real purpose of the whole gambling is only to reduce the number of participants.

This is followed by the question of the winning side’s “reward”.

First, the reward for the winner of each round is a "safe house", which is very reminiscent of the "buffet coupon" function in the previous round, so there is no surprise.

However, the setting of the "public prize pool" as an additional reward is somewhat intriguing:

The chips that flow into the public prize pool in each round will be automatically doubled and accumulated when the next round of gambling starts, and will eventually be obtained by the winner of the last round, that is, the third round?

This seems to imply that the last of the three games is crucial. Not only do you get safe house rewards as usual, but you also get chips from the stacked public prize pool.

However, the number of chips in the public prize pool is difficult to grasp, so in the end it may be "useless", which is better than nothing.

Compared with the two, perhaps "not being eliminated" is the biggest reward in the entire gambling game.

This once again verified Jiang Qian's initial speculation: the "camp" is just a cover, and only by not being eliminated or losing chips can you remain invincible.

In addition, there is also the restriction that "the use of super-species abilities and props is prohibited in the central casino", which also makes people think a lot.

Jiang Qian looked around at the surveillance cameras installed on the four walls and on the ceiling, but he was digging for loopholes in the rules: Since the use of abilities and props is prohibited in the "Central Casino", what about outside? Does the previously stipulated rule that no fighting or cheating in the casino still count tonight?
His gaze inadvertently swept across the many card holders in the opposite camp, and a dangerous idea was brewing in his heart.

At this moment, inside the sunken central casino, which was fully isolated from everyone, the rules of the first game were finally displayed:

Game 1: It’s Russian Roulette.

To put it simply, the two of them took turns picking up loaded revolvers and shooting at themselves. They survived with empty guns and died with live ammunition - a game of gambling on life based on luck.

But today’s rules have made slight changes based on the classics:

First of all, the revolver has six bullet slots, and each of the two license holders can load one bullet in sequence.

Each person has two reloading options: live ammunition and empty ammunition. There is no visual difference between the two bullets.

After loading is completed, the person who loaded the bullet first will be fired last, and the person who loaded the bullet last will be fired first.

The first license holder can choose to "shoot" themselves, or choose to "bet chips" and transfer the chance of shooting to their opponent.

The unit of betting chips is 100 million, and the amount of chips raised each time must be doubled (the multiple is not less than 1); when the number of betting and raising rounds exceeds 2 rounds, all the chips that have been bet will be Empty it and transfer it to the public prize pool.

If the shot is a live bullet, the card holder will be eliminated, the table chips will belong to the opponent, and all remaining chips will be included in the public prize pool.

If the shot is not a live ammunition, all the chips on the table belong to the person who fired the shot, and the game continues.

If all six rounds of firing are non-live ammunition, the round will be deemed a draw. There will be no reward for both sides in a draw, and they will not be able to enter the "safe zone" to watch the game.

……

The rules are quite simple... Jiang Qian paid close attention and silently turned on his spiritual vision.

Bai Wuhen said coldly from the side: "With such rules, is there any suspense about the outcome?"

"How do you say that?" Jiang Qian looked sideways.

"Embroidered Pillow only has 4729 million chips, but Bai Xiaoxi has 11853 million. The chips stabilize the opponent. As long as you keep throwing chips to force the opponent to shoot, Embroidered Pillow will probably be eliminated." Bai Wuhen said.

The reaction was quite fast... Jiang Qian smiled and focused his attention on the sunken venue: "Not necessarily."

"not necessarily?"

"It also depends on the opponent's level and strategy."

Indeed, both of them have the opportunity to load live ammunition. If both of them load live ammunition, the probability of being shot immediately increases to 1/3, that is, a high hit rate of 33%!
This means every shot could be the difference in victory.

But judging from the current chip advantage, Rose Duke is obviously inferior to Bai Xiaoxi. In other words, there is a greater chance that Duke Rose will be forced to shoot himself, which may shake his confidence in choosing live ammunition.

All eyes were focused on the venue, focusing on Rose Duke and Bai Xiaoxi.

They both happened to arrive at the gambling table.

Bai Xiaoxi stretched out his hand naturally, while Rose Duke leaned over and kissed the back of the lady's hand in a friendly manner.

In the process, Bai Xiaoxi quietly handed a message to Duke Rose...

"What is she talking about?" A girl in avant-garde clothing from the Western camp opposite yelled, "You've lost your mind!"

But Jiang Qian saw Bai Xiaoxi's mouth shape through his spiritual vision: Let's draw.

draw?

Jiang Qian raised his eyebrows lightly.

It is almost certain that the veteran intelligence officer is playing tricks again.

But when they saw the two of them sitting down at the gaming table, a revolver rose up from inside the gaming table and appeared in front of their eyes.

Under the eyes of everyone, Duke Rose raised his hand in a gentlemanly manner and said in a gentle tone: "Ladies first."

Those who load first are the first to launch. This is to seize the initiative to launch first.

Bai Xiaoxi didn't seem to mind, she accepted it readily, reached out to hold the revolver in the middle of the gambling table, randomly loaded a bullet in the magazine, then closed the magazine, turned it around, and put it back in place.

He smiled and said, "I've pretended."

Duke Rose then picked up the pistol, loaded the bullet into it smoothly, turned it around and put it back in place.

Then, he threw out 100 million chips.

100 million is the minimum unit for betting.

Duke Rose bet 100 million first and looked tentatively at Bai Xiaoxi.

At this time, the rules for shooting turned to Bai Xiaoxi's side.

Bai Xiaoxi smiled without saying a word and directly added 200 million chips based on Rose Duke's bet.

Duke Rose smiled, and his aristocratic smile was very charming: "Why, didn't you say we wanted a draw? You can't believe me."

Bai Xiaoxi pushed the chips forward again, tapped the barrel of the revolver with his fingers, and said in a gentle tone: "Then you set an example and make me trust you."

It was obviously a bet that could determine life or death with just one move, and the two of them created an ambiguous atmosphere where they had no worries.

Duke Rose's smile deepened.

However, the next second, the ambiguous atmosphere collapsed instantly-Duke Rose backhand raised 2000 million!
The murderous man walked away.

Standing next to Jiang Qian, Bai Wuhen suddenly exclaimed: "So that's it..."

He understood what Jiang Qian had previously called "the opponent's level and strategy."

Rose Duke's 2000 million raise is a gambling opportunity: if Bai Xiaoxi is unwilling to shoot, then she must continue to raise, and the raise amount should be doubled of 2000 million, that is, starting from 4000 million!
In this way, once Duke Rose's shot has not fired, all the chips currently on the table will belong to Duke Rose. At that time, his chips will surpass Bai Xiaoxi in one fell swoop, and he will have the advantage of fighting for his life.

Of course, even if he loses the shot, he won't lose.

Originally, one's own chips were lower than those of the opponent, putting him at a disadvantage. If he loses at this time, the remaining chips can be included in the public prize pool, and there is still a chance that they can be recovered by the same camp in the future.

"It seems that this embroidered pillow is not completely useless." Bai Wuhen sighed.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaoxi in the central casino had to hand over 4000 million chips!
It looked like she really didn't want to get shot.

Duke Rose's face turned cold.

He looked at the chips piled up on the table, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at Bai Xiaoxi opposite: "Guess, whose side will fate be on?"

As he spoke, he had already picked up the revolver, pointed the muzzle at his head slowly and gracefully, and pulled the trigger!
"Click——"

Empty gun.

Jiang Qian noticed that many card holders in the opposite camp were obviously relieved!

The moment that determines life and death is easily revealed with the crisp sound of "click", and a new round of games follows one after another.

In the field, Duke Rose's smile gradually relaxed from nervousness. Then he smiled and pressed the revolver on the table and pushed it to Bai Xiaoxi in front of him: "It's your turn."

At this time, the chips of both sides are:

Rose Duke - 8929 million! Bai Xiaoxi - 7653 million.

As the trigger was pulled, Bai Xiaoxi's chips were already lower than Rose Duke's!

There seemed to be a dramatic shift in the initiative.

Bai Xiaoxi's expression hesitated, as if she was in a dilemma. Finally, she rolled out her chips and bet 100 million...

The corners of Duke Rose's lips raised, and then he raised a large amount of 5000 million with his backhand!
He smiled and looked at Bai Xiaoxi across the way, looking at the thin, mediocre-looking Oriental woman in front of him with his deep European-style eyes that were enough to captivate the soul, and seriously appreciated her helplessness and struggle.

Doubling 5000 million is at least 1 million.

Obviously, Bai Xiaoxi no longer had enough chips to raise the bet at this time.

In front of everyone, they saw her holding up the pistol cautiously, her chest rising and falling with her breathing, and she slowly put the muzzle of the gun against her chin. Then, the pistol made a crisp sound.

Another empty gun.

There were people on the opposite side sighing, and of course, there were also people secretly praising him.

For example, Jiang Qian.

Bai Xiaoxi's appearance just now was more nervous and at a loss than Jiang Qian had ever seen before. This made Jiang Qian deeply understand the solid interpretation skills of this senior intelligence officer and his super ability to perform on the spot.

In short, after the shot was confirmed to be "empty", Bai Xiaoxi's expression immediately became calm and composed.

Because all the chips on the gambling table have been put into Bai Xiaoxi's bag!

The gambling situation is changing rapidly, and the distribution of chips on the field has changed:

Rose Duke - 3929 million, Baixixi - 12653 million!
……

The Rose Duke on the opposite side was a little stunned.

In the blink of an eye, the revolver has fired two shots, and they are still empty bullets, which means that the probability of live ammunition in the remaining bullet slots is higher...

"It seems that this game relies heavily on luck?" Honghu Yufei looked at the field and whispered to himself.

Sen Xi's voice came from the side: "It looks like luck, but it actually works."

Honghu Yufei narrowed his eyes and looked at Sen Xi.

"Don't look at me like this, I can't provide any evidence." Sen Xi spread his hands in a matter-of-fact manner, but his tone was very firm, "My intuition tells me that this kind of game will not be caused by such simple luck. Just like..."

Sen Xi didn't finish the second half of her sentence. She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Qian not far away.

Jiang Qian is focusing on the situation on the field.

Currently on the court, two of the six opening opportunities have been used up.

The tense atmosphere even made the onlookers from both camps feel a little tense.

Duke Rose stiffly threw out 100 million chips.

He didn't make any aggressive moves because judging from the chips, he would have no chance at all this round.

However, Bai Xiaoxi did not pursue him fiercely, but instead threw out 200 million, a painless raise.

This confused Rose Duke for a moment, and he continued to raise, 400 million.

Bai Xiaoxi called, 800 million.

Rose Duke raised, 1600 million!
Bai Xiaoxi continued to follow the bet, 3200 million.

The Duke of Rose is out of ammunition and food...

He couldn't add more, so he had to focus on the revolver on the table again, and he was about to shoot for the third time...shoot himself in the head.

Duke Rose looked at Bai Xiaoxi, who looked at him eagerly, as if expecting the effect of the show to make his head explode.

Then the British nobleman's face became obviously paler, and he silently grabbed the revolver.

He slowly pointed the gun at his temple.

He tried his best to stay calm, but his hands were still shaking.

"Click" - a familiar crisp sound.

Duke Rose suddenly opened his eyes, the gambling game is not over yet!

Bai Xiaoxi's expression was a little disappointed.

Currently the chips between the two sides are almost equal:
Rose Duke - 8129 million, Baixixi - 8453 million. Bai Xiaoxi is slightly higher.

Just when Duke Rose thought Bai Xiaoxi would take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, he placed a heavy bet that left him unable to increase the amount and had no choice but to continue shooting. Bai Xiaoxi actually threw out out of habit - 100 million?
What an opportunity!
Rose Duke was trembling with joy and raised his backhand to 4500 million, blocking Bai Xiaoxi's backhand!
"oops!"

Bai Xiaoxi exclaimed and covered her mouth with both hands, as if she finally realized her mistake.

She looked with utter horror at the revolver on the table.

This revolver, which has six bullet positions, has been fired three times after being loaded twice, and no live ammunition has been fired yet.

In other words, the next live ammunition hit rate... will be higher than ever before!
"Hehehe..." Duke Rose was finally amused by Bai Xiaoxi's embarrassment.

Although he knew that it was not foolproof, at this moment he really wanted to laugh at the other party. He could obviously have the upper hand, but because of a betting mistake, he got the upper hand and became a fat fish on the chopping board.

"Go to hell! She won't be so lucky now, will she?"

"Look at her frightened behavior, haha, it's so enjoyable..."

"The Duke responded so quickly~~"

Someone in the opposite camp was already booing, but Jiang Qian and others were extremely quiet and focused on the central casino.

Regardless, this shot is critical.

Bai Xiaoxi touched the pistol with a pale face, and her action of almost losing her grip on the gun caused another burst of laughter from the opposite camp.

However, when the revolver made that familiar crisp sound, all the smiling faces froze invariably.

"Click"......

It's still an empty gun! !
Duke Rose looked at Bai Xiaoxi blankly, watching the little oriental woman holding a pistol and slowly raising her mediocre face, staring into his eyes, and said to him in a mellow London accent:
"Let's draw."

The surrounding air became quiet for a moment!

Duke Rose stared straight at Bai Xiaoxi's face. At the moment when their eyes met, he finally understood why this revolver kept firing "blank"...

The chips were updated again: Rose Duke - 3629 million, Bai Xiaoxi - 12953 million.

It's Rose Duke's turn.

This time, he seemed extremely calm, as if he had completely escaped from his previous state.

Then suddenly push 3600 million chips forward!
"Bet!"

However, when he saw the smile overflowing from the corner of Bai Xiaoxi's mouth, the body of this British nobleman shook violently, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Then, with everyone watching, Bai Xiaoxi naturally picked up the revolver from the table and pulled the trigger for the fifth time.

Empty gun!

Duke Rose dropped his fists and leaned on the gaming table, regretting it too late.

At this time, the chips on the field are dramatically updated:

Rose Duke - 29 million, Baixixi - 16553 million!
Almost all of the bargaining chips that originally belonged to Duke Rose had been transferred to Bai Xiaoxi's account.

But the gambling was still going on, and the opportunity to shoot was transferred to Duke Rose. However, he could no longer get the full 100 million chips in his hand, so he had no choice but to shoot.

Bai Xiaoxi looked at him with pity and said the repeated line for the third time: "Let's draw."

But Duke Rose seemed to have heard the most bitter ridicule.

It's too late...

He lowered his head and pulled the trigger.

The gun didn't go off, but everyone was stunned.

Even the stupidest person on the field has already figured out what happened on the scene through Duke Rose's expression and the dramatic changes in his chip account!
The dungeon prompt begins to announce the results of this gambling game:
draw.

No one is safe, no one is eliminated, and the public prize pool is empty.

In a draw, both sides were released to return to their respective camps.

……

The whole process was completed in an unusually silent environment, and many people felt hesitant and unbelievable about the result.

They don't even know what's going on in this back-and-forth game.

Only Jiang Qian had the calmest expression in the audience.

At this time, his mind was driven by curiosity and he was constructing a new understanding of this headquarters intelligence officer:

"It seems that Teacher Bai has thoroughly understood this camp war."

"What?" Bai Wuhen was still in the fog.

"She doesn't care about getting into the safe zone, and she doesn't want a safe house."

Jiang Qian chuckled, and followed Bai Xiaoxi, who was returning to the camp in full form, and said, "What she wants is more chips - to win the first kill with an absolute advantage."
