Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 21 Every bald head may be a hidden master
Wang Luo, who had a good upbringing, successfully obtained his own tree seeds.

The process is very simple. Wait for your number to be called. Go up to the second floor and say hello to the Ueki Messenger who is on duty. After the other party confirms that the identity is correct, he extends his hand and the Ueki Messenger connects to the Great Law, and then a seed as crystal clear as emerald, It will descend from the void and merge into the blood along the arm.

The whole process did not take more than 15 minutes. Considering that the newly succeeded Uekishi is a talkative, kind and talkative Nanxiang native, and Wang Luo was chatted with Nanxiang anecdotes for 10 minutes, the actual time may not exceed 5 minutes. .

And having a complete Jianmu seed means that Wang Luo is a Zhuwang citizen certified by the Great Law, a wanderer in Nanxiang embraced by the civilized world.

According to Uekishi, in today's era, being a wanderer in Nanxiang is often more advantageous than a native Nanxiang when it comes to studying and finding a job.

"Of course, I'm not a professional, and I can't be sure about the specific employment situation. So I recommend you to go to Taixu Zhaotang and look for the Tangkou of Rongcheng Furensi. They will update various recruitment information as soon as possible. It's very suitable. A promising young man like you who has just come to Rongcheng to settle down and start a career."

"However, since you have just obtained the Jianmu Seed, you should not have registered with Taixu before. Temporary visitors must be accompanied by an official Taixu Walker before they can cross the Taiyin River. So you have to go to Taixu Elementary School first. Check in at the station. There are many such small stations in Rongcheng. The nearest one is the second shop from the left at the T-shaped intersection facing the small white building. They usually sell Lishensan there, so you can follow your budget. Just buy it..."

Zhimu was convinced of Wang Luo's identity as a fellow villager, and his suggestions were considerate and detailed.

Wang Luo thanked him seriously and left the small white building. Following the instructions of Uekishi, he saw a colorful shop on the left side of the intersection.

Very familiar.

Not long ago, a fat man with blond hair and blue eyes marched into the store with three of his young men.

At this time, Fatty Zhang's satisfied laughter was heard in the store.

"Hahahaha, Stanley Martial God is mine! Next time there is a gang war, just wait until I eradicate you! Hahaha!"

Then there was a scolding voice mixed with grief and anger: "Fat Zhang, do you have any shame!? We ordered this card first!"

This voice was extremely familiar and made Wang Luo's ears twitch.

Zhang Dun?

On the other side, Fatty Zhang’s laughter had not stopped, and the horses behind him were already shouting angrily: “You called me Fatty Zhang too?!”

Zhang Dun said angrily: "My surname is Zhang too, why can't I be called Fatty Zhang?!"

"A poor guy like you deserves to be named Zhang?!"

"Grass mud horse!"

When Wang Luo rushed to the store, what he saw was a chaotic fight with dirty words.

On one side was Fatty Zhang and three young men, on the other side was Zhang Dun and two poor friends. There were also three or two individual customers in the store, leaning against the counter and watching the show with the boss.

Obviously the scene before them was nothing new to them.

When seeing Wang Luo come in, Zhang Dun looked surprised: "Brother Wang, are you here?!"

When did I become your brother?
Before Wang Luo could ask the question, Zhang Dun raised his eyebrows, pointed at the tip of Fatty Zhang's nose, and said forcefully: "Zhang Fuhong, you are finished now!"

Fatty Zhang was stunned, looked at Wang Luo, then looked back at Zhang Dun, and sneered: "I'm done? What do you mean? Have you found another Stanley Martial God seller? Wake up, now I also have Stanley Martial God, Even if you buy it, what’s the use?”

Then his smile faded and he looked wary: "Wait a minute, are you planning to buy [True Shadow Emperor]?"

Ma Zai behind him quickly reminded: "Brother Zhang, a True Shadow Emperor card costs at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual leaves, and it's still priceless. How can those poor guys afford it? They want to buy a card with thousands of spiritual leaves." Stanley Martial God is going bankrupt."

Fatty Zhang then turned from surprise to joy: "It's true, I can't even buy the True Shadow Emperor, so why should these poor guys!? Haha, even a Stanley War God is a treasure, and they still have to raise funds and borrow money, so poor Why are you still playing Fei Yuan Lu!? To be honest, I actually don’t need a Stanley Martial God at all. In the gang war in the next few days, with or without this character card, it will be easy for me to crush you. This time I specially come to intercept your order, It is also convenient for you to give up the useless struggle as soon as possible and stop wasting money on picture scrolls that you cannot afford."

After saying that, Fatty Zhang walked away with a heavy laugh.

Zhang Dun and others gnashed their teeth and acted incompetent and furious.After his back was gone, Zhang Dun came to Wang Luo and said seriously: "Brother Wang, please help us no matter what this time!"

"It's okay to help others, but you must at least explain the ins and outs of the matter first."

Zhang Dun quickly explained: "Brother Wang, didn't you say last night that we were going to fight a gang war in "Fei Yuan Lu"... The opponent is that damn fat man! His father is the big boss of Shijie, and he has a lot of money. Shijie The meat factory in Dongtou is run by his father. He usually bullies us for more money. This time too, we originally found a seller who was willing to sell [Stanley Martial God] character cards, but he found out about it from somewhere. News, I came here and bought it at a high price in advance!"

Wang Luo nodded and said, "So you want me to help denounce unscrupulous sellers?"

"Well, that's not necessary. Although the seller did this unkindly, there are no particularly strict rules for this kind of character card transaction. The one with the highest price is not wrong. Who makes us unable to afford so much? Where’s the money…”

"It's a pity that I don't have any money, so I let you down."

Zhang Dun said anxiously: "But Brother Wang, you are sure to win when you draw a card! Although [Stanley Martial God] is very popular, it is actually just a general one-in-a-thousand generals card. Depending on your luck, you can draw a one-in-a-thousand general card." [True Shadow Emperor], or even [Blood Demon Thirteen], our gang war can turn defeat into victory!"

Before Wang Luo could reply, he heard a sneer coming from outside the door.

"Haha, turning defeat into victory? What can you do even if you turn defeat into victory? If you beat Fatty Zhang in the Taixu picture scroll, can you become richer than him?"

Zhang Dun was stunned, and turned his head inexplicably. He saw a man of about 30 years old wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He was polite and had a look of indifferent arrogance and displeasure on his face.

And a poor friend behind him suddenly blushed: "Brother!? Why are you here? You have nothing to do here!"

"Why don't you have anything to do with me? Didn't I lend you the money you paid for the Thousand Ling Ye members? I was originally curious about what you were going to use it for when you suddenly borrowed the money, so I followed you all the way, but I didn't expect it to be In order to compete with others for a false reputation in the Taixu Picture Scroll!"

"Whether the name is worthy of the name...that is also our business!"

"I'm your brother, and your business is my business." The man retorted sharply, and then said in a deep voice, "I won't talk to you about any nonsense about brothers being like fathers, let's just discuss the matter. You and that fat man have a grudge against each other. What's the use? If you beat him in the picture scroll, can you earn a spiritual leaf? On the contrary, in order to win him, you even have to find people to collect money! A powerful character card is just pocket money for him, but for him What about you? If you ask me to borrow a thousand spiritual leaves, how long will it take to pay it back? And even if you win this time, what about next time? The more resources you invest in the early stage, the greater the loss will be when you lose. !”

After explaining this truth, not only his younger brother was speechless, but even Zhang Dun and another Yuan friend who played "Feiyuan Lu" together looked shaken, as if their Taoist heart was about to be broken.

Seeing this, the man in white had a look on his face, coughed, and said loudly: "We have an old saying, it's called playing with things to lose one's morale. Although the Taixu scrolls are magnificent and colorful, they can kill people's fighting spirit. We are all still young, so we must Don’t make a mistake!”

As he said that, he turned to the shop owner who had been watching the show and said seriously: "Boss, I know that running Taixu business is your livelihood. But I have to say, even livelihood has its differences. Making money There is also a difference between being decent and dishonorable. It is really not very decent to serve as a trading platform for Taixu Picture Scrolls!"

The shop owner was confused by what he said. After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

"I'm an unrelated passerby, and I was hit by an arrow even while I was lying down... Okay, since you want to bring me down, I'll just say a few words."

As he said that, the shop owner reached out and touched his bald head to make it shine even more, which even made the man in white squint his eyes.

"Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Luo, Luo Xiao. I am the boss of this Taixu Station. What is your surname?"

The man in white squinted his eyes and said proudly: "It's free of charge, Gu Fan, senior clerk of Xinglan Real Estate." Luo Xiao heard the words and smiled: "Xinglan Real Estate is a big company. Being able to serve as a senior clerk there is indeed a good thing in Stone Street. He is a master, no wonder his words are so condescending. Unfortunately, in the end, it is just a discussion about why not eat minced meat."

Gu Fan was not angry: "Please enlighten me."

Luo Xiao said: "What you just said is a high-sounding statement. Yes, becoming stronger in Taixu will not affect reality. No matter how the gang wins or loses, Zhang Fuhong is a famous rich second generation in Stone Street, and Zhang Dun and others are just daily workers... But if the daily workers don't play with Taixu picture scrolls, or even if they spend all their time playing with picture scrolls working and struggling, can they become richer than Zhang Fuhong? ?”

Zhang Dun smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "I have the highest salary among the three of us. I earn [-] a day, which is almost [-] a month. (At this time, Gu Fan showed a visibly surprised and shaken look.) But even if I work hard for ten years, I can't eat without food." Even if you don’t drink it, it can’t compare to the red envelope that Fatty Zhang got for his birthday.”

The boss added: "After all, Fatty Zhang's father, Zhang Yu, is basically the richest man in Shijie. But if we look at the entire Rongcheng, Zhang Yu should not be ranked in the top twenty, and he cannot be ranked in Zhuwang. The first hundred... Compared with those really rich people, Zhang Yu is just a nobody. And us, who are we? We are just ants. It is not just a comparison of wealth, status, or even cultivation. In terms of ability, we are all like ants!"

"That Zhang Fuhong was an uneducated waste in the Meng Academy, but Zhang Yu donated 500 million spiritual leaves to Rongcheng Academy, so that his son could enter the outer academy and further study in Condensation. In the past, we looked at that The fat man with blond hair and blue eyes has to respectfully call out Mr. Zhang!"

"And there are countless rich kids who are even more arrogant than Zhang Fuhong! In their eyes, the entire stone street is just a big piece of garbage! No matter how hard the people in the stone street work, practice, and live, they are still just ants, let alone ants. They are competing on the same stage, and you don’t even have the qualifications to look up at them!”

"But, in the Taixu picture scroll, we can compete and even have a chance to win!"

"So, in order to win, even if it's just an illusory victory, what's the point of spending some money? The money can be exchanged for a relatively fair chance of competition, which is already worth it! What's more, every penny we earn is earned from labor. ! Symbolizes our efforts to contribute to the world!"

"That's right, even if Zhang Dun and the others win this gang war by luck, Zhang Fuhong will definitely be able to spend money to win it back next time. But as long as we win once, even just once, it will be a big deal for us little people. It’s a miracle worth remembering forever!”

"Of course, I am a small business owner who runs a Taixu small website. Most of my daily income comes from products related to Taixu picture scrolls. I say these words as if I am trying to protect my own job... But the reason why I ran this small business in the first place is Station is because I have such a dream in my heart. I dream that even in the virtual world, I can make the world a fairer place!"

After the bald boss finished his speech, Wang Luo took the lead in applauding.

Wonderful.

In fact, Wang Luo did not completely agree with Luo Xiao's views, but in the past in Lingshan, his master Song Yijing often told him this: As a Lingshan person, you should never despise the persistence of others.

In the words of my senior sister: Don’t be so daddy-y, it’s disgusting.

Luo Xiao's speech was completely different in appeal and persuasiveness from Daddy Man's superior speech. Not only Wang Luo applauded, but Zhang Dun and others were also excited and high-spirited, wanting to beat their chests on the spot. , looking up to the sky and roaring.

As for Gu Fan himself, his face turned green and red. He wanted to refute, but he seemed to be at a loss for words. In the end, he could only say "Rotten wood cannot be carved" and ran away.

After Luo Xiao succeeded, he retreated and sat back behind the counter. He drank the Lishen Powder with a cup of hot tea, and his mind wandered too weak.

Zhang Dun gasped and came to Wang Luo and said solemnly: "Brother Wang, I know that a capable person like you will definitely look down on the illusory things in the Taixu scroll... But I really beg you this time, help us! This gang war is not just to fight for a breath, but also to protect our most important home. It was two years of hard work by dozens of our brothers. Nian’s home! But Zhang Fuhong just took a fancy to our spiritual veins and was about to launch an attack. He also said that after victory, all our buildings would be razed to the ground! So we must not lose this gang war! Absolutely not! "

Wang Luo was silent for a moment and said, "I can help."

Zhang Dun was stunned, then overjoyed: "Really!? Brother Wang, you..."

"But my senior sister once told me not to enter the casino, so I can't help with the issue of drawing cards."

Zhang Dun said anxiously: "I know that good luck comes with a price, so I will never let your efforts go in vain, Brother Wang! Our gang has saved five thousand spiritual leaves to buy [Stanley Martial God], and we can give them all to you! As long as you can help us Just draw out one [True Shadow Emperor]!"

At this time, Luo Xiao couldn't help but be curious, put down his tea cup and asked.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhang Dun immediately told Wang Luo's four-draw and four-gold record in "Yu Ling" last night with great excitement, causing a gasp of air-conditioning in the store.

An unrelated spectator frowned for a long time, shook his head and said: "What kind of outrageous story is this? Are you daydreaming after drinking too much?"

Luo Xiao was also puzzled: "How could such a thing happen!? Are you getting anxious and daydreaming about the shipwreck?"

Zhang Dun was immediately unhappy: "A bunch of ignorant people, I will make you kneel down and call the King God later!"

Wang Luo, however, was not interested in being worshiped by others: "I said, I won't gamble."

Zhang Dun suddenly felt like a hundred claws were scratching his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Luo Xiao became interested when he heard this: "Brother, you are wrong. Drawing cards from Taixu scrolls cannot be regarded as gambling. The commonality between the two is nothing more than the investment of real money. There is randomness in winning and losing, and there are participants. Profit expectations. But if the Taixu Picture Scroll is classified as gambling based on this definition alone, then the military operation of the Nanxiang Dinghuang Corps to encircle and suppress the desolate beasts is also a real money and silver investment in military expenditures, with great uncertainty in victory or defeat. There are huge profits. Is it possible that those martyrs who settled the famine should be counted as gathering for gambling?"

Wang Luo frowned: "You are just changing the concept."

Luo Xiao said: "Strictly speaking, it's not that I am changing my mind, but that we wish the Golden Deer Hall and even the Great Law are changing my mind. Look at this..."

While talking, the bald boss pulled out a thick book from behind the counter and explained: "This is a book jointly issued by the Department of Law, Department of Commerce, Taixu Department and Qingping Department under the Golden Deer Office on various business matters. A collection of laws and regulations, which have strict regulations on which industries are considered gambling and which are not. But the Taixu scrolls are not considered gambling at all!"

Wang Luo became curious and raised his hand to flip through Luo Xiao's collection. He saw that the complicated and detailed legal provisions clearly distinguished gambling in the traditional sense from card drawing and other activities in the Taixu scroll. .In essence, as long as the virtual props in the Taixu picture scroll cannot be directly exchanged for real money and silver through the picture scroll's operation workshop, then no matter how many resources Taixu Walkers invest in the picture scroll, it will only be a simple matter. consuming behavior!

As for virtual friends trading cards in real life in exchange for real money, that can only mean that I wish you a strong business atmosphere, frequent private economic exchanges, and a happy and prosperous situation!

Luo Xiao added: "In fact, if we really want to define it strictly, lottery is also considered gambling, but..."

Wang Luo waved his hand: "I won't draw lottery tickets, but I already understand what you mean. Well, strictly speaking, Taixu Picture Scroll should not be defined as gambling, so senior sister's ban on me It will be ineffective.”

Zhang Dun immediately rushed over like a pet dog who heard the meal was served, his eyes gleaming: "Brother Wang, about drawing cards..."

Wang Luo added: "But I also want to state in advance that my good luck is not omnipotent. First of all, it cannot come out of nothing. For example, if the merchant does not put prizes in the prize pool at all, then of course I cannot conjure it out of thin air."

Zhang Dun nodded repeatedly: "I understand, it just can't stop the fraud in the card pool, but it doesn't matter. The workshop that runs Feiyuan Lu is the painting scroll workshop with the highest expectations, so it still has some credit. The card pool said that there is There must be something there.”

Wang Luo said: "Secondly, the essence of luck is the transfer of resources. Some people have good luck, and some people must have bad luck. I look at the card pool of Taixu Scroll, and the probabilities are mostly fixed. So the ones drawn from me A larger jackpot will definitely mean that other people will win less...and this kind of predatory behavior will inevitably bring backlash."

Zhang Dun's excitement froze slightly: "Does this mean that after ten consecutive gold medals, it is very likely to be disabled by the shuttle when you go out the next day?"

Wang Luo thought for a while and said: "The specific explanation will be very complicated, so you can understand it this way."

Zhang Dun then looked at his two friends. The three of them looked at each other, each showing determination.

"Brother Wang, we are not afraid of disability! Please help us draw the True Shadow Emperor!"

At this time, Luo Xiao's interest reached the peak, and he advised from the side: "With these people's consistent luck in playing Feiyuan Lu, and their experience of being crushed by various local tycoon players, it is not a big deal to give them a True Shadow Emperor." It’s too much…provided you can really draw it.”
