Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 248 The Greedy Thirst for Life (4.2k)

When Lu Mingfei returned outside with a huge sum of more than one billion yuan.

The atmosphere is already more lively than before.

After all, the Russians still couldn't resist the temptation of alcohol. After drinking heavily, the alcohol-stimulated cerebral cortex made them more generous in gambling.

Winning and losing rose from hundreds of thousands to millions each.

The person who lost all his chips opened his collar and sat on the sofa next to him, drinking with his head muffled, with an annoyed expression on his face.

Those who win continue to fight at the table.

After all, the most difficult person to leave at the gambling table is the winner.

Some of the above men and women held hands and ran into the next dance hall, not knowing why they were doing something unsuitable for children in the crowd.

Others were smoking cigars or cigarettes with gloomy expressions, thinking about the next strategy.

And Miss Christina, who was supposed to lose with her underpants in the air, turned over by relying on Zero's support, with chips piled up in front of her, yelling and fighting against Auchinets.

Oginets had to call the waiter and exchange for more chips.

In fact, this is the real warm-up, not as simple as playing two games of poker to flirt.

Those who lose all their assets at the gambling table can exit early, and the winners can enter the auction field with more chips.

An elegant game of poker has evolved into a more intense game of dice.

Christina rolled up her sleeves, revealing her ivory-like arms, and shook the dice clock, almost stepping on the gaming table, looking like a hooligan in ancient China.

Zero actually stood by the table to watch, with a concentrated expression, which really violated the high-cold image of Her Royal Highness

Lu Mingfei was about to drag Ling back from the gaming table, but someone grabbed him from behind.

Everyone in this occasion was immersed in a certain atmosphere, only Su Enxi looked normal, even calmer than usual.

It makes people feel like she was born to be a part of the casino.

Could it be that this woman really made a noise in the casino?Lu Mingfei muttered.

"The ventilation system is mixed with LSD." Su Enxi whispered.

Lu Mingfei frowned subconsciously.

LSD, scientifically known as ergot diethylamide, is a powerful hallucinogen.

Intelligence agencies in many countries use it to torture spies or criminals, and it is an absolutely prohibited drug.

He had heard that some large casinos put high-purity oxygen in the casinos to allow gamblers to gamble day and night.

But using LSD to enliven the gambling atmosphere is simply tantamount to mass suicide.

"I know what you're thinking, it's not as exaggerated as you think, it's just a small amount, it's just exciting."

Su Enxi said: "With our physique, it will not be greatly affected."

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that it was a bit frenzied to use LSD in order to enliven the atmosphere.

"Does it look like raising Gu?" Su Enxi whispered, "Put dangerous bugs into a jar, let them kill and kill, the strong ones eat the weak ones, and the last surviving one is useful."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at her twice: "Are you very familiar?"

"No one is more familiar with the twists and turns of the casino than I am." Su Enxi still had an indifferent expression, she watched all kinds of people in the casino, not as if observing, but watching a group of struggling ants in the rain .

"This group of young rich men are just Gu worms that have been raised, and the one who raised the Gu is the real beneficiary!" Su Enxi said, "That old fellow Alexander is too scary."

"It's not Bunin." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

After getting some information from the little devil, he already knew who was behind the scenes manipulating Bunin and the auction.

It's just that I don't know what the man's purpose is... Speaking of which, Bunin sincerely asked him to save his daughter, but he didn't tell him about the LSD.

Maybe he is also one of the Gu worms in the other party's eyes, Bunin just hoped that he would be more ferocious and win in the next auction.

Su Enxi didn't refute Lu Mingfei's denial, but nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, from my observation, Alexander doesn't seem like a person with that kind of ability."

"Ling and Christina's chips are all for them to win?" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something.

"Some small money." Ling glanced at him, walked to the bar and ordered a glass of light wine, "When I was working in the casino, those black-hearted ghosts would ask me to give the chips in the hands of the winners To win back, I have seen many corporate executives who are worth hundreds of millions go to the casino, and they basically come out with nothing left, the water in the casino is much deeper than you think."

Lu Mingfei sighed: "You still have this ability?"

The topic was suddenly discussed to death, Su Enxi snorted coldly, turned around and left without saying a word.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, not knowing what he said wrong.

It can only be said that there are too many unexplainable things in the team of Little Devil, and everyone has their own secrets.

He didn't bother to ask, and continued to stroll around the venue, observing everyone.

Those who returned victorious or disappointed from the gambling table formed different cliques.

They spoke in low tones, some in low spirits, others in high spirits.

The effect of hallucinogens on each person is different, but a small amount of hallucinogens will not make them lose their ability to think.

Lu Mingfei listened carefully and found that they were actually discussing business. Just like what Christina said, many people were pulling the team to gather chips.

People who feel that they can't win at the auction will choose to hand over their chips to powerful people, and those who accept the chips should also pay a high price.

Something about time.

Bunin didn't actually tell Lu Mingfei exactly what that thing was, but it obviously drove these young people crazy.

Even if you lose your fortune, you will not hesitate.

Each of them is as short of time as Christina...

Lu Mingfei's brain turned twice rarely, like an old-fashioned machine, although it was rusty, it could barely be used after applying some oil.

In other words, everyone here is suffering from a disease similar to terminal illness.

No... and not necessarily a disease.

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes, thinking of something similar to these people, he felt a sudden chill in his heart.

If that's the case, it would be too scary.

He opened his eyes and stopped guessing. This matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

The auction may be just a disguise, but he is still not sure what the secret is inside, and he still needs to enter the auction to observe carefully before he can draw a conclusion.

At this moment, a charming girl passed in front of him and handed her card to Valoja who was not far away.

The shy boy was not shy at all, he was showing the aura of a high-ranking person, and he was talking in his daughter's ear.

Finally, he kissed her red lips hard.

In this way, Valoja easily got a bargaining chip from her, leaving only the absent-minded girl lying on the sofa with blushing cheeks.

Lu Mingfei looked back silently.

Shyness is Valoja's disguise. This low-key boy should be qualified to enter the auction, but he doesn't have enough bargaining chips. He is wandering around in the arena at the moment, like a reaper of souls, constantly taking away chips from some women .

The gambling table became more and more lively, many people yelled, and some cursed and rebuked.

And Lu Mingfei was always looking at his watch, and the time passed by every minute and every second. This doomsday carnival scene made him feel bored, and the only thing he was looking forward to was the auction.

After several hours, the wall clock on the wall finally rang.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have recovered from the half-dream and half-awake state, and turned to look in the direction of the wall clock.

Twelve midnight.

This was the time when the auction started, and the only door that was always closed in the screening room opened. Behind the door was a passage that slanted downwards, covered with a scarlet carpet.

The dim lights stretched downwards, and the passage didn't feel like attending a grand banquet, but rather like leading people to hell.

The waitresses came to the venue and whispered to them that the auction was about to start.

In fact, there is no need for them to remind, everyone knows it in their hearts.

They stood up, the men straightened their clothes, the girls tied up their long hair and put on their make-up.

The expression on everyone's face was cold and fierce, like a warrior about to go to the battlefield.

The chips on the gaming table were taken away and re-converted into Cary's numbers.

Those who decided to participate in the auction tightly held the cards in their hands, it was their only hope of surviving from the Gu worm jar.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mingfei smiled for no reason.

This scene is really the same as playing a game. The full-level players who have built their equipment and skills planted a flag at the gate of the city, ready to start fighting.

Of course, such a description is cruel and cruel to those guests who want to survive.

But to Lu Mingfei, this is really just a mere game. In a sense, no matter what the outcome of the auction is, it will not affect his life.

He followed the beautiful waitress leading the way to the aisle, when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

The footsteps are running, like a light unicorn running through the forest.

He turned around, and the unicorn named Christina threw herself into his arms and kissed him on the cheek.

This sudden show of love made Lu Mingfei almost spit out his words.

He was flustered, because His Royal Highness and Potato Chip Girl were watching on the left and right.

That's all for the potato chip girl, Her Royal Highness's indifferent face seems to be saying, I suggested to you that you reject it, but I didn't expect to have an affair with this Russian woman secretly!
"Ah~ Misunderstanding..."

Before Lu Mingfei finished speaking, a card was thrown on him.

Christina's kiss was so superficial, he wasn't even sure if it was on or off.

"Take my chips! Don't come back to see me if you lose!"

"..."

Lu Mingfei was speechless as he squeezed the card in his hand.

No wonder Christina insisted on fighting fiercely at the gambling table until now, because she was afraid that his secretary didn't have much money, so she would save him more chips.

She is really a dedicated intelligence agent, but unfortunately she didn't know that the father she hated had already given him more than one billion dollars in movable property, and even a dowry of 800 million was less than one-thousandth of this money...

"You have to show me too!" Christina said fiercely in Lu Mingfei's ear, "I gave you all my wealth!"

Lu Mingfei nodded awkwardly.

Probably in the eyes of others, he is the boy who was successfully conquered by Christina, and he is qualified to fight instead of his female companion.

Although the actual situation was completely different, he still gently gave Christina a hug: "Leave the rest to me."

……

The final auction site was a large circular conference room located underground. It was not very spacious, but the decoration was incomparably luxurious.

As the last guest stepped in, the heavy security door closed behind him.

"It's really a jar for raising Gu."

Lu Mingfei muttered in his heart.

The narrow space is only enough for dozens of people to hold a meeting together, and it doesn't look like an auction is going to be held at all.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Lu Mingfei sat in his own seat.

Lu Mingfei seemingly casually picked up the towel on the table and wiped his hands.

At the same time, small monitoring equipment was posted under the table.

The earplugs were hidden under Lu Mingfei's hair.

Only His Royal Highness and him can enter the official auction, and everyone else is acting as a military adviser outside at this time, making suggestions.

After everyone was seated, the swivel chair with the huge back turned around.

The short but lean Bunin sat among them, wearing a black dress with a solemn expression.

He was the moderator of this auction, and now he seemed to be the solemn judge.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this year's auction."

Bunin slowly raised his left hand towards the middle-aged man beside him.

"Let me introduce you to the financial advisor from Bank of Zurich, Mr. Caron, who will ensure the safety of your funds."

A middle-aged man with round glasses and a mustache looks like a financier who manages money for the rich.

"Now, please put your chips into Mr. Cuaron's tray," Bunin said.

Caron, the bank's financial advisor, walked around the conference table carrying a black velvet tray.

Each guest threw in one or several cards with a cold face.

Lu Mingfei had three cards and a bag of one billion dollar antiques in his pocket.

But he only put three cards in it, and since the bag of antique bunins had been said not to be used easily, Lu Mingfei would not be so stupid as to throw it out immediately.

Zero also lost a black card.

In this era, the black card is still very mysterious. After all, it claims to have the power of unlimited overdraft, but in terms of the financial resources of the Romanov family, this cannot be called showing off.

After Caron returned to Bunin, he opened an encrypted computer with multiple card readers, and each card was inserted into the card slot one by one.

"Mr. Caron has already connected to your accounts, and we have received all your balances. This will be the most powerful guarantee for you to participate in this year's auction."

Bunin clapped his hands, and six waitresses stepped into the venue gracefully carrying black boxes.

Lu Mingfei knew very well that the things contained in this black box were the things to be auctioned at the auction.

"Unfortunately, although I know that everyone's expectations are high, there are only six copies this year." Bunin looked around the crowd and said calmly, "This means that some distinguished customers who are pressed for time may not be able to get what they want."

There was a sudden silence in the meeting room, and the waiters walked around the table, putting down the plates in front of everyone.

The number assigned to Lu Mingfei is 33.

"The rules of the auction must be clear to everyone. The highest bidder wins. But we are friends and brothers, and we should take care of each other." Bunin was very serious tonight, but no one cared what he said.

From the moment the black suitcases were taken out, almost everyone's eyes were focused on those black suitcases.

That's the look at the food.

The well-dressed and high-ranking distinguished guests are like a group of beasts at this time, hungry beasts.

They yearn for power and wealth, but in this world, power and wealth are not the only ones.

Time is more desirable than them.
