Chapter 160 Gambling in Jail

Gu Fei was filled with contempt, but Silver Moon didn't notice at all. His words had won everyone's sympathy, and the relationships in the room had become much closer. It had to be admitted that Silver Moon was worthy of being a leader of a large guild. After entering the prison, he quickly became the core of the group. Everyone naturally gathered around him, which made Gu Fei feel very indignant.

Silver Moon was truly capable. After telling his story, he began rummaging through his pockets, saying to everyone, "Everyone must be bored, right? I have something good to pass the time!"

"What is it?" everyone asked eagerly.

Silver Moon smiled and opened his palm. Everyone stretched their necks to look, and their eyes lit up. In Silver Moon's palm lay three dice.

"Want to play a few rounds?" Silver Moon asked with a smile. Everyone nodded.

"You guys come too, right?" Silver Moon called out to Gu Fei's customers in the corner. Ever since Gu Fei had won over the clients of Yu Tian Shen Ming, these guys had seemed depressed and kept their distance from the others.

The few of them looked at each other. Being in jail was so boring, and everyone wanted to play. They hesitated only because they were embarrassed.

"Come on! The more the merrier," Silver Moon said, while also telling his two companions, "Go and pull them over."

Silver Moon's two friends made a move to get up, but those guys quickly took the opportunity and ran over themselves. Gu Fei sneered from the side. Pull? What a load of crap. Players in the safe zone couldn't even touch each other. But Silver Moon was skilled at winning people over; he was a real con artist.

After calling those people over, Silver Moon saw that Gu Fei didn't seem to be coming, so he quickly waved, "Brother Qian Li, come and play together!"

"No, thanks," Gu Fei said with a smile. "I'm a little tired. I'll lie down for a while. You guys play." With that, he put his hands behind his head and lay down on the ground. Silver Moon was quite disappointed. He really wanted to win Gu Fei over, but it seemed like this kid wasn't buying it. He wanted to say something more, but Gu Fei turned over, facing his butt towards him. Silver Moon swallowed his words back.

Everyone knew how to play dice, and they were shouting and yelling as if they were competing with their voices instead of their luck. A group of people were yelling and screaming, almost lifting the dungeon roof off.

In this situation, how could Gu Fei really fall asleep? He was already regretting it a little. Lying here in such a noisy environment for two hours, without anyone to talk to, wasn't this just torturing himself? Thinking this, Gu Fei suddenly sat up and turned to look. Silver Moon was looking at him with a sly smile: "How is it? Can't sleep, right!"

Gu Fei nodded along with the question: "Forget it, I'll join in too!"

Silver Moon smiled broadly and made room for Gu Fei: "Exactly, otherwise, it's too boring to just wait. By the way, how long do you have to stay in jail?"

"Two hours," Gu Fei replied casually.

"Oh, what about you guys?" Silver Moon asked the others.

The first topic when meeting in jail was of course "how many hours." No one suspected anything about Silver Moon's question, and everyone told the truth. Because Yu Tian Shen Ming and Gu Fei both specialized in taking on high-PK missions, everyone's sentences were really not light. After going around, Gu Fei's two hours was actually the shortest. But since the others had come in earlier, they were already facing the end of their sentences and were making a final sprint.

But this final moment was often the most difficult to endure. Fortunately, Silver Moon had suddenly brought this game, which made the time pass faster, especially since gambling was a very popular form of entertainment.

Since Gu Fei was here, he might as well enjoy it, so he played with complete focus. However, his appreciation for game coins was far less than that of the average player. Gambling with this attitude of being happy whether he won or lost was commendable, but he experienced much less fun.

Other players were different. They shouted, yelled, and glared, competing fiercely. Those who won wanted to win more, and those who lost naturally wanted to recoup their losses. Gambling was such a game that people couldn't help but get addicted to. And most players were obviously not very rich. Some, coupled with extremely bad luck, lost all their gambling money after playing for a while.

At this time, Silver Moon would lend a helping hand, taking out a few gold coins and handing them over. He didn't say he was giving them, only claiming to be lending them.

The players who borrowed money would naturally continue to play. Those who won would pay back the money on the spot, and those who lost would borrow again.

Later, everyone got used to it. As soon as they ran out of money, they would directly reach out to Silver Moon. Silver Moon didn't refuse anyone. Gu Fei, who obviously didn't lack money, tried to reach out to him once, and he still handed over five gold coins.

Due to his distrust of Silver Moon's character, Gu Fei couldn't help but be suspicious. But after carefully observing the gambling game, he didn't find anything strange.

The way everyone played was super simple. There was no banker or player. Everyone put down one gold coin as the ante, and then rolled the dice. The person with the highest value took all the antes. If there were two people with the same highest value, they would split it equally. This could be said to be entirely based on luck, the simplest form of gambling without considering any psychology.

After carefully observing everyone's wins, losses, and expressions, Gu Fei also found that everyone was the most simple gambler, including Silver Moon.

"It seems like he's really just passing the time," Gu Fei denied the idea that Silver Moon had any conspiracy. Frankly speaking, if Gu Fei wanted to win this gambling game, it would be very easy. If it was shaking the dice cup, Gu Fei couldn't shake anything special, but like this, throwing it directly on the ground, although he hadn't practiced it, with Gu Fei's technique, he could accurately throw the number he needed two or three times out of ten. This was much better than other people relying solely on luck.

However, Gu Fei didn't use it and just casually threw it to rely on luck. First, he didn't think it was necessary; second, throwing the three dice to the number he needed was not an easy task. This was more tiring than directly throwing a flying knife to kill someone. If he really threw it like that every time, Gu Fei estimated that his arms and hands would cramp before long. Skill, in fact, was the most difficult to exert.

So, a group of criminals continued to engage in theoretically illegal gambling in prison. Regardless of winning or losing, everyone felt that time was passing quickly. Many guys were successively teleported out of the prison when their time was up. Given that one guy had just won a big pot before leaving and was excitedly rushing to the ground to collect the money when he was teleported out, everyone else became cautious.

After all, it was a game. The task bar calculated in seconds how much time was needed before being released from prison. So, people who were paying attention to the time could be said to be racing against time. Those who saw that their time was running out all showed reluctance, and some who were having a good time were as uncomfortable as if they were going to die. The charm of gambling was evident.

And because Gu Fei took winning and losing too lightly, he naturally wouldn't be nostalgic for this place. When he saw that his time to leave prison was approaching, he was overjoyed. As for how much he had won or lost so far, he didn't know. He only remembered owing Silver Moon five gold coins.

At this time, all the players in the room had reached their time to leave prison, leaving only Gu Fei and Silver Moon's three companions. With fewer people, it wasn't as lively, but there was more chatting.

"Qian Li, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were not an ordinary person," Silver Moon flattered Gu Fei.

"Hehe!" Gu Fei smiled.

"Consider it. Come to my mercenary group and build the best mercenary group in Cloudend City together," Silver Moon said.

"This... isn't necessary, right!" Gu Fei said.

Silver Moon smiled: "Then I won't force you. Anyway, you can come whenever you want. Add me as a friend when you get out." All kinds of communication operations were prohibited in prison, and adding friends also fell under the category of communication.

Gu Fei didn't commit to Silver Moon's proposal.

Silver Moon looked at the time: "You don't have many minutes left, right?"

Gu Fei nodded: "Sixteen minutes." As he said this, he threw the dice, soundlessly collecting the gold coins on the ground.

"You have good luck. You've won several rounds in a row, right?" Silver Moon was surprised.

But Gu Fei looked annoyed: "Depressed, why didn't I have this luck when there were more people." There were only four people now, and winning a round only brought in three gold coins, which was incomparable to before.

And the four-person game was also proceeding very quickly. Gu Fei even put on the kind of desperate act that others had before leaving. Silver Moon pointed at him jokingly: "You guy, I didn't see you being so energetic when you were playing before. Now that your luck has gotten better, you've become energetic. What, do you want to swindle me?"

Gu Fei grinned.

"How much money do you have left? Or can we play for bigger stakes?" Silver Moon said.

"Okay, 12 gold coins as the ante," Gu Fei said.

"12? Why 12?" Silver Moon was very puzzled by this strange number.

Gu Fei smiled: "There are three of you. It's easy to split if I win 12!"

With three against one, as long as one of the three people had a higher number than Gu Fei, it would be a win. But Gu Fei had to have a higher number than all three of them. This was no longer luck, but a problem of probability and statistics.

Silver Moon's expression changed immediately after hearing this: "Qian Li, what do you mean? Are you saying that the three of us want to cheat you together?"

Gu Fei's smile didn't diminish: "Can't you tell I'm joking?"

Silver Moon still had an indignant expression of being wronged.

Gu Fei said: "Look, if I really suspected that you wanted to do that, would I agree to increase the stakes? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Silver Moon's expression softened a lot after hearing this. He nodded and said, "I thought Qian Li really thought of me as that kind of person."

"How could I!" Gu Fei said with a dry laugh. "Since that's the case, then it won't be 12. How about 13 gold coins as the ante?"

"No problem," Silver Moon accepted happily.

About 14 minutes later, the gambling game had to be stopped. One of the Silver Moon trio said with a pale face: "I'm out of money."

Gu Fei's face was even more solemn. Looking at the small mountain of gold coins in front of him, he was dumbfounded: "So, all my luck today was saved for these few minutes."

Silver Moon's face was also ashen. He said dryly: "You're really lucky."

"Yeah, yeah!" Gu Fei nodded while desperately stuffing money into his pockets. In the end, he had five gold coins left, which he returned to Silver Moon: "I borrowed five from you before."

"Forget it, what's the point of returning five gold coins," Silver Moon refused.

"Take it! Take it!" Gu Fei forcibly stuffed it into Silver Moon's hand and patted his pockets: "I've already taken a lot from you."

Silver Moon's eyes twitched a few times.

Gu Fei then looked at the guy who had lost everything: "Do you want me to lend you a few? Otherwise, you guys won't be able to continue when I leave."

The man shook his head and didn't say anything.

"Really don't need it?" Gu Fei asked.

"No need," the man said with a dry throat.

"Oh! Then, I'm leaving," Gu Fei said as he stood up.

The three of them nodded, and Silver Moon said: "Contact you later."

"How long do you guys have to stay?" Gu Fei asked.

"About four hours or so," Silver Moon said.

"Good luck. Goodbye," Gu Fei glanced at the guy who had lost everything and waved goodbye. In the blink of an eye, a white light flashed, and he had been sent out of the prison.

"Damn it!" As soon as Gu Fei left, the guy who had lost everything was angrily pounding the floor.

Another person picked up the three dice on the ground and looked at them from side to side: "Is there really such good luck?"

"What else could it be?" Silver Moon asked rhetorically.

"Technique?" one person asked doubtfully.

"If he had that technique, he would have made a fortune long ago. Would he be winning a few broken gold coins with you here?" Silver Moon didn't think so.

The other two were speechless, and they were all puzzled. In fact, how could Silver Moon be happy in his heart? He and the other two guys had lost just as much.

"Forget it, never mind. At least there's no one else in the prison. Let's quickly do the task!" After Silver Moon said this, the other two nodded, and the three of them started working in the prison.

Gu Fei, who had been teleported out of the dungeon, breathed a sigh of relief. The game environment was too realistic, and the air in the dungeon was humid and rotten. It was only because the game designers knew that this was just a simulation and was actually harmless to people's health that they were so bold. However, the psychological impact was still obvious. Gu Fei took a few breaths and immediately felt that the world was so beautiful and that he didn't want to go to jail again.

After calming down, he saw a person sitting on the stone steps at the door. Gu Fei was stunned for a moment and walked over. The person heard the footsteps behind him and quickly turned his head.

"It's you," the other person said, stunned.

It was Mang Mang de Mang Mang. Gu Fei sighed and asked, "Are you waiting for Silver Moon?"

Mang Mang de Mang Mang nodded: "I just sent him a message, and the system said 'not in service area.' He must be in jail."

Gu Fei nodded: "He's in jail. I saw him."

"Oh..." Mang Mang de Mang Mang responded, and his expression didn't show any joy.

"I'm leaving."

"Goodbye."

Gu Fei took a few steps away, then turned back to look. Mang Mang de Mang Mang was sitting alone silently on the stone steps, looking very desolate.

Gu Fei thought about it and finally turned back and walked to Mang Mang de Mang Mang.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang looked up and looked at Gu Fei.

"There are some things I think you should know..." Gu Fei said.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang continued to look at him.

Gu Fei didn't pay much attention and repeated what Silver Moon had said in prison.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang's expression didn't change much. There was no anger or sadness. He just listened quietly to Gu Fei finish everything.

"I... I still want to ask him in person," Mang Mang de Mang Mang said.

Gu Fei nodded, turned and walked away. He hadn't gone five steps when he suddenly turned back: "He said he still has four hours before he can come out, or you can go offline and rest first."

"Okay," Mang Mang de Mang Mang nodded.

Gu Fei turned and left. This time, he didn't look back and went all the way to the safe zone and logged off.

The next day, as soon as he logged on, he received a message from Yu Tian Shen Ming asking him to go to Xiao Lei Tavern. When he arrived at the tavern, he entered the private room, and the other five members of the mercenary group were there. Before starting the team to level up every night, the guys in the mercenary group seemed to have gotten used to sitting here for a while. To be honest, if it weren't for this habit, it would be hard to say that there would be any interaction between these six people.

Because the mercenary group hadn't received any business for a long time.

Han Jia Gong Zi proved with facts that he was indeed not suitable to be an operator.

If a mercenary group wants to make a name for itself, there are more ways than a guild. The guild shows strength, one is the number of people, and the other is the level of the members. And for mercenary groups, in addition to these two things, the mission completion list listed in the Mercenary Guild is also a direct way to show strength.

This list is composed of several data items: accepting missions, completing missions, and completion rate. Among them, completing missions and completion rate are very important assessment criteria. Those with many completed missions and a high completion rate are all well-known mercenary groups in Cloudend City.

But Gong Zi Elite Group was not on this list.

Speaking of completion rate alone, the elite group's completion rate was very high, 100%.

But looking at the completed missions, one could only suspect that this mercenary group was newly established.

Especially in the system's release of mission acceptance and completion, the Gong Zi Elite Group had two glaring zeros.
