Chapter 167 The Devil’s Gambit Returns

Chapter 167 The Devil’s Gamble. Return

Yes, it is also wise to lie down wherever you fall.

But for a person with Shen Yunyi's personality, she will definitely choose to stand up again and avenge her own shame.

Well, so she nodded, looked at Jiang Zheng with approval for the first time, and said with a smile:

"That's right. You always look so rude, but I didn't expect you know me quite well."

"Of course, otherwise why would I be your girlfriend and your childhood sweetheart?"

Originally, Jiang Zheng wanted to say the words "fiancé", but suddenly he realized that Du Shiyue and Su Mei were still nearby.

It was not convenient for them to know about this, so I immediately changed the words and returned to my childhood sweetheart.

But no matter what, Shen Yunyi is very motivated to participate in this challenge with Jiang Zheng.

And no matter from every angle, Miss Shen is Jiang Zheng's best partner in this gambling game.

Although Du Shiyue is smarter and has a better mind than her, he is a very standard military advisor who pays too much attention to preservation.

When playing this kind of gambling game, sometimes, as Jiang Tao said, you need to have the courage to transcend death and dare to put all your money in and give it a try.

In this regard, Du Shiyue was a little inferior. She didn't have Shen Yunyi's absolute self-confidence and courage to brave death.

It was agreed upon that the next step would be to take Shen Yunyi to the "Winter Room" together.

Miss Shen couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked Jiang Zheng:

"Now that we've decided, when should we set off? Tonight?"

"No, let's do it now. It's best to go now while our minds are clearest."

"Huh? In such a hurry? There are three classes left in a while. It wouldn't be good to skip them all."

"If you care about class so much, don't skip class and come out to eavesdrop on our conversation. You have the nerve to say this, don't be ashamed."

After Jiang Zheng made a justified complaint, Shen Yunyi's face turned slightly red.

After all, she also skipped the first class and went to the rooftop to eavesdrop. She really had no right to say that she cared about class now.

Seeing that Miss Shen was speechless by him, Jiang Zheng said to Su Mei and Du Shiyue:

"You guys go to class first. She and I will go back to the Shen Family Courtyard to challenge again. Anyway, we have nothing to lose."

Yes, if you think about it carefully, Shen Yunyi has no memory related to Jiang Zheng.

Even if they lose again, they have nothing to lose, so they are afraid of a hammer and that's it.

"Okay, okay." Du Shiyue had no choice but to nod her head when she heard this, and made a phone call gesture and said:

"Then just call. If there's any emergency, Mei and I will rush there as soon as possible."

After the two left, Shen Yunyi looked at the empty rooftop again, and then said to Jiang Zheng:

"Then let's go. By the way, how do you plan to leave school? Do you want me to go find the teacher and get a sick note?"

"Sick note? Forget it, there's no need to go to such trouble, just come closer."

While Jiang Zheng was talking, he picked up three pebbles from the rooftop, and then called Shen Yunyi to come over.

When Miss Shen approached him, Jiang Zhengze unceremoniously put his arms around her slender waist.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

When she was suddenly hugged so closely, Shen Yunyi couldn't help but struggle.

"Don't move." But Jiang Zheng immediately stopped her and said with a smile, "If you move again, I won't care if it falls from the sky in a moment."

ah? What's the meaning? What does falling from the sky mean?

Before Shen Yunyi could react what he was saying, he saw Jiang Zheng throwing the pebble in his hand into the distance!

The next moment, as the stone crossed a perfect upward throwing line, it flew hundreds of meters into the sky.

The figures of Jiang Zheng and Shen Yunyi then appeared where Shi Zi was, as if they had changed their appearance.

Hey?

I. Am I dreaming?

When the cool wind hundreds of meters above the ground blew across her cheeks, Miss Shen made everyone dumbfounded for a moment.

what happened? Weren't we on the rooftop just now? Why did he reach heaven in the blink of an eye?

No, since we are in heaven, wouldn’t we be making noises soon?

In an instant, Shen Yunyi felt his body sink. He and Jiang Zheng were about to fall from a height of several hundred meters!

But just when the two of them were about to fall, Jiang Zheng picked up a second stone and threw it towards the sky in the distance.

Whoosh! Almost two seconds later, Shen Yunyi felt the scenery in front of him flash! The body appeared in another patch of sky hundreds of meters away.

As the two of them moved around in the air repeatedly, when all three pebbles in Jiang Zheng's hand were thrown out.

Their figures finally landed smoothly on the ground and arrived at the corner of the street very close to Shen's family courtyard.

"Okay." After looking at the familiar streets, Jiang Zheng said to the frightened Miss Shen: "There is still a little way left, let's just walk back."

There was originally a straight line distance of at least a kilometer between "Jiangcheng No. 1 Experimental High School" and "Shen Family Courtyard".

If you were to walk with two legs alone, you would have to walk for about ten minutes, whether it was far or close.

But after Jiang Zheng used the "High-altitude Flying Thunder God Movement Method" that he had newly thought of, the two of them actually arrived in just a few seconds, which was a miracle.

The principle of this moving method is to continuously throw the stone with force, and then continuously change the positions of the two people and the stone.

As long as the stone thrown by Jiang Zheng flies far enough and high enough, it can cover a distance of one or two kilometers by two or three transfers, which is very convenient.

And I don’t know if it’s because my physical fitness has improved, or because I’ve used it too much and my proficiency has improved.

At first, Jiang Zheng could only use the "text conversion ability" up to three times in a row, and then he would feel dizzy due to the large amount of energy consumed.

But now he can use it three or four times without any effort, and will only feel slight discomfort after the fifth time.

If this continues, I might be able to use this power freely in the future without any worries. I'm really awesome.

Looking at the looming Shen family courtyard on the other side of the street, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but proudly raised his chin and praised himself silently.

But at this moment, Shen Yunyi, who had come back to his senses, looked at him with dumbfounded eyes. He was stunned for several seconds before asking:

"Did you just have a superpower?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Jiang Zheng shrugged at her and said with a smile:

"I gained some special abilities in the Soul Palace. It's not impossible for you to understand them as supernatural powers."

Indeed, when explaining about the Soul Palace, Jiang Zheng also specifically mentioned that he had acquired some special abilities there.

It's just that at the time, Shen Yunyi only thought he was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect that this guy actually meant it. It was okay to have a trapeze artist on the spot.

If it were the previous Shen Yunyi, when he knew that Jiang Zheng had this ability, he would at most be happy for him.

But Shen Yunyi was not very familiar with Jiang Zheng now, so as the two of them walked home, she couldn't help but ask:

"You have such a powerful power, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Of course I intend to solve your trouble."

"That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask you after you solve the Shen family's trouble."

"I don't know. Let's talk about it when the time comes. Just take it one step at a time."

Shen Yunyi obviously felt a little incredible when he saw Jiang Zheng's calm expression.

In Shen Yunyi's view, since Jiang Zheng possesses this terrifying power, he can get wind and rain in the real world.

Whether it is to seek refuge with the country, to serve the country, or to use this special ability to benefit oneself.

He could easily get everything he wanted. But obviously Jiang Zheng didn't seem to have such desire.

Just when Shen Yunyi was wondering if Jiang Zheng had any strange ideas, he suddenly turned around and asked:

"By the way, have you ever used modifiers when playing games before?"

"Ah? I don't think I've ever used it before. I just fumbled around by myself." "Really? I once turned on the modifier when playing a very difficult game, and adjusted all the attributes of the protagonist to the highest level. All magic weapons and any enemy are not the same enemy in front of the protagonist, and guess what?"

"It should be fun to play. After all, the characters in the game have become so powerful that they can easily overcome any difficulty."

"No." Jiang Zheng shook his head and smiled: "On the contrary, from that moment on, the whole game became boring."

As an old gamer, Jiang Zheng has played through countless games and turned on many modifiers.

But at the end of the game, he discovered that the best way to enjoy the game was to turn on a few modifiers.

It's good to just make limited use and modification to provide a little convenience, rather than use it indiscriminately.

After all, the nature of people getting fun from games is, to put it bluntly, asking for trouble.

In the game, players will experience "encountering challenges" - "making efforts" - "overcoming difficulties" - "encountering challenges again". This is a positive cycle that gradually increases the difficulty and obtains a stronger and stronger sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, because of the existence of such a positive cycle, the game will make people feel interesting and can continue to play.

But after using modifiers without restraint and violence, all difficulties were destroyed.

The game becomes a boring process of "passing through" - "repeating over and over again".

And when the player has all the magic weapons, the strongest attributes, and can easily defeat the strongest enemies, it also means that there is no way to pursue them.

No pursuit is a big killer that kills fun. From that moment on, this game can no longer be called a game.

In the same way, if life is compared to a game, all the money, beauty, and status in this world are at your fingertips.

And when no one can shake him, he will feel that life is just that, and nothing can give him a sense of accomplishment.

Jiang Zheng has suffered too many losses in the game, and he doesn't want his life to become such a boring game without any sense of achievement.

Therefore, although he usually uses his abilities, in most cases he uses them cautiously within a smaller range.

Instead of being like a naughty kid who has just obtained a peerless magical power, happily smashing every wall he sees.

Only in this way can long-term fun be maintained, and only in this way can Jiang Zheng not feel bored.

Of course, in fact, for Jiang Zheng, there are not too many things in the real world that can bring him challenging fun.

But fortunately, there is still the existence of the "Soul Palace", which is full of challenges, and even if you use your abilities, you may not be able to pass it easily.

Thinking of this, I really don't want to destroy this palace. But it's a pity that you pissed me off this time.

Not long after, when Jiang Zheng and Shen Yunyi returned to the inner palace of the soul, they stood in front of the familiar door of the "Winter Room".

Looking at the TV screen flashing deep black inside, a frightening smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Zheng's mouth.

"Gambling Demon" Black Jack, thanks to you for setting these traps, which made me a little angry after a long time.

So even if you are a demon, don't expect you to escape unscathed after this trial is over. I won't let you go so easily.

After thinking about how to deal with the unlucky devil with a bad heart and lungs, Jiang Zheng took a deep breath, nodded to Shen Yunyi and said:

"Okay, let's go in. Follow the previous plan and don't reveal the truth."

Well, Shen Yunyi also nodded and said solemnly:

"That's for sure. This is a major matter related to my memory. I can't afford to be careless about it."

"Oh? You seem to care about those memories. Didn't you say you don't care about me as your fiancé?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll give you a beating before I deal with the devil. Pfft."

Speaking of this, Shen Yunyi couldn't help but laugh.

Then she and Jiang Zheng walked into the passage where the game started, just like they did last time.

Not long after, there was another familiar spin.

Jiang Zheng returned to that extremely familiar place again.

The magnificent Shen family courtyard hall looks like a huge gaming table moved from a professional casino.

And standing on the side of the table, was the sheep-headed demon dressed in a black suit with a smile on his face.

When he saw this familiar demon, Jiang Zheng frowned and whispered as calmly as possible:

"It is indeed a devil's gamble. I didn't expect that there is actually a devil in it."

Haha, Black Jack smiled slightly when he heard this, bowed to him and introduced:

"Let me introduce myself. I am the 'Gambling Demon' Black Jack, who is also the host and referee of this gambling game."

When Black Jack introduced himself again, he was bowing but did not notice the teasing in Jiang Zheng's eyes.

Sure enough, Black Jack didn't know that I saved half of the memories from the last game, and thought he had cleared all my memories.

Unlike Shen Yunyi, who had all his in-game memories wiped out, Jiang Zheng should have used some kind of text transfer method at that time.

He kept the memory of the first round of the game as much as possible, so that he could still remember various things related to Black Jack.

But even so, Jiang Zheng pretended not to recognize it at all when he challenged it for the second time, pretending that all his memories had been stripped away.

After another familiar introduction to the rules, and having Black Jack say in person that "the stripped memories may definitely return."

Jiang Zheng's first round of gambling also began. But his opponent this time was a somewhat unexpected guy.

When Black Jack gestured toward the other end of the gaming table, a familiar figure appeared there.

"Ah! It's the president. I didn't expect that we would meet here. It's really fate."

Under Jiang Zheng's speechless gaze, Xia Linlin (phantom) appeared there at some point and waved excitedly to him.

Did Grandpa turn out to be a kitten? Sure enough, Black Jack will specially select some difficult guys to play this kind of game, which is difficult to deal with.

If there was anyone Jiang Zheng didn't want to meet in a game like this, besides Jiang Tao, it would be Du Shiyue and Xia Linlin.

Especially Xia Linlin, Jiang Zheng always felt that this little girl was not as simple as she seemed on the surface, and that she should have some past that was different from ordinary people.

Such an opponent with a very smart mind, a deep understanding of Jiang Zheng, and a special past is undoubtedly very difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, just when Black Jack was about to announce the gameplay, Xia Linlin actually suggested:

"I suggest that in order to save time, we should solve it in a neat and non-sloppy way. How about this?"

"Clean and neat gameplay? Are you talking about a size comparison?"

"Hehe, how can such a boring thing be worthy of our status? Since it is a duel between the president and others, at least we have to risk our lives."

As soon as she finished speaking, a reflection flashed on Xia Linlin's thick lenses, and two packets of powder appeared on her hand.

After shaking the powder bag in her hand, Xia Linlin grinned with a big smile and said:

"There are two packets of powder here. One of them contains highly toxic strychnine. If you drink it, you will die. But if you drink the other packet, you will be fine."

".so what?"

"Let's put these two packets of powder into water and let each of us drink a cup. The one who is alive after drinking will naturally be the winner. How about it? It's simple and neat, right?"

As Xia Linlin spoke, she looked at Jiang Zheng with interesting eyes.

At that moment, she actually gave people the feeling of a yandere girl who wanted to lure someone to die for her love.
